What have I learned this year?

Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

I am coming up on my one year anniversary since joining WA, just have to reflect a little on what I have accomplished in the past year. I started out with the Certification program, I have lots and lot of interest, but instead of staying focused with it, I got lulled into the Affiliate Bootcamp, I wanted to try and make money fast. The Bootcamp prorgram is awesome, but I was having trouble staying focused about what to blog about, when that happened I just stopped doing everything. I did have one person go premium for a month, and several others that joined for free, but since I was not being active, it is hard to motivate someone else. Life took over and for months I did nothing. I tried to get revitalized in November with the Black Friday Special, and added a new post to my website, plus got some Facebook posts done etc. In January I decided to take a step back and start over with the Certification program, I am finding this is the best route for me at the moment. I now have a website and a niche that I am passionate about, and that has made all the difference. I certainly still have a long way to go, but I finally feel like I am on the right track. WA is an amazing place to learn, and I have had so much help! After I finish the Certification course and get my current website in tip top shape, I plan to work back through the bootcamp, and revitalize my WA Affiliate web site.
