My Journey So Far with WA

Hi everybody! I have been busy watching the videos and reading the lessons, and have to say that I am loving this new adventure in my life! So much to learn and yet I take it day by day as I do the requirements necessary to build my first website as www.MillbrookMemories.com! I know that in my heart this will be a treasure for all of my family and to all those that know my family, as well as all those strangers that visit my site, too!

I wish I could express in words what this means to me to have the means and the knowledge to make this dream into a reality by creating this website to honor my parents, and share my father's pictures, too!

So here's the timeline so far with my first website www.MillbrookMemories.com:

1) Signed up with WA for free 7 day trial on my Birthday June 23, 2017.

2) Completed Level 1 training by June 30, 2017!

3) Upgraded to Premium member on June 30, 2017!

4) Began all the training and lessons now available to me!

5) Throughout the summer watched the videos and read the lessons!

6) Loved to see all the checks I was able to do one by one as the months have progressed too!

7) September I was able to experiment more and more, without so much fear, because all the lessons and training I had gotten on WA! Becoming Brave!

8) October I was finally able to find a theme I was actually ok with! However, if anyone sees my site and has another suggestion, would so appreciate it!

9) October 10, 2017 at 4:14 pm I purchased the domain www.MillbrookMemories.com from WA Site Domains and felt the relief and excitement of actually doing this one action to create the reality of my dream!

10) Now that it was really real as mine, and I had bought the perfect domain to share my family stories and share my father's lifetime of pictures, I got serious! Updated About Me, Privacy page, etc.

11) Joined Mailer Lite autoresponder! This was suggested from another WA member and grateful for that suggestion! Watched the videos and read the lessons in how to do an opt-in page and was able to have a pop-up to subscribe to my Millbrook Memories Newsletter on my website. Also a lead page to get emails for newsletter on FB page too!

11) November 16, 2017 Created a fan page Millbrook Memories to add to the traffic from there to my website. The Millbrook Historical Society had their monthly meeting program, " A Fireside Chat with the Kading's," which my father, Aunt and Uncle were interviewed. With the help of WA I was able to announce to the roomful at that meeting about my new website www.MillbrookMemories.com and my heartfelt intentions of honoring my parents and sharing my father's lifetime of pictures with the world! Thank you so much WA!

12) December I posted the video of "The Fireside Chat with the Kading's" to my FB Millbrook Memories page first, then figured out to post it on my website! Got lots of likes and some shares too! Posted a picture of The Corner News Store on December 21st that was taken around Christmas time years ago with almost 2300 views, 18 comments and 10 shares for that one picture! Now to get that kind of views and engagement to the website in the future! All is possible with the teachings of WA!

13) By the New Year of 2018 I have so far received around 90 emails from the opt-in form from the website and FB page for the future Millbrook Memories Newsletter! I plan to have products with my father's image on them for purchase, such as mugs, blankets, pillows, whatever that my Millbrook Lover target customers may desire to buy! Just as a note, I did not need to give them anything for their emails either, because my parents are so loved by this community that had our family business there for over 50 years!

14) I have had the woo-commerce and Printful plug-in installed for a few months, but have honestly been 'stuck' to actually create the Millbrook Memories E-Commerce Store in time for the holiday shopping season, though. Must admit I am a bit disappointed in myself in not meeting that goal this year, but know that I will make it even bigger next year for sure! So any WA members out there, please send me any how to videos and suggestions on how to 'unstuck' me with that e-commerce store and getting my father's images to meet the requirements for POD and so on would be greatly appreciated!

15) January was approved by Flexoffers.com and have begun the possible products for the website available from them. Have joined Amazon Affiliate Associate and exploring products there also. I know got to get traffic to my website, too!

16) Have written my review of Wealthy Affiliate, but still in a state of editing! Yet, I want to thank Kyle throughout the training he has over and over again said to just 'do it' and stop being so critical of yourself! I am trying to do that 'Just do it," in the best way I can, and just want to thank all at WA for this awesome community and all the lessons and videos that have helped me to finally be where I am to say I have created a website called www.MillbrookMemories.com to honor my parents and share my father's pictures of over 80 years!

And my hope and prayer is that this website will be a joy to all from now for another 80 or more years, too!

Thank you Wealthy Affiliate and Kyle and Carson for creating this platform that this daughter's heart to fulfil a dream come true in sharing her father's pictures that will be now able to bring joy to so many around the world!

With Gratitude,

Diane Kading Schoessow
