Sending you a bucket load of BLESSINGS for your health AN' for your business!

Hello Elaine, I am new here on WA. I enjoyed reading some of your post. I too am disabled and looking to earn money online. My area will be dealing with chronic pain ( I think). At least that is where I plan to start.
Good luck in your ventures.

Did you finally got moved and settled in? I always said I would never move again and here I am moving to Kiev, Ukraine. Never say never. My domain name got indexed (with no content)and I have moved up almost 18k in rankings in last 10 days. Does that mean I have a good domaine name. Hope you are well, you are in my prayers.

Elaine Smith1 I just started following you and am sure you will make it here on WA I have been here about a month now and am trying to keep up with everything and work on my sites it is going to take some time kjust keep working with it and plugging along.
Best Whishes to you here.

Hey Elaine! (Love the name ;) ) I'm so proud of you for fighting to find something that allows you to contribute to your children's thriving. Since your still with WA after 6 months, I hope it's going well! I'm sorry your years in the medical/communications field were cut short- but they sure are still appreciated to this day! Definitely a gift that keeps on giving for those you taught and assisted. Good luck on your current and future working! I'm following you now :)

With love, Elaina

Elaine I am sorry to hear about your illnesses, one's health is truly one's wealth, you have so much of experience to share, that is simply amazing, i know you will succeed in your endeavours just from your history and selflessness from the little I gathered from the above content...all the best dear..I shall follow you

Hi Elaine,

With you're background and qualifications I feel you're exactly where you ought to be. There's no reason at all you should not be able to solve a lot of people's problems ... and this is the real key to getting somewhere online. Thanks for dropping by and wishing you much success.

Dear Elaine, thanks for sharing and for accepting my invite, much appreciated. Seems you're doing very well, so keep on track and let's stay in touch.

Desmond We are here to help!

Hi Elaine.
I have just read some of your posts and pages on your website and have to congratulate you for the great efforts you've already put into this project considering you've just started. It's awesome and you have a unique style of writing-simple and straight to the point. I have learned from it and got some ideas on how to write mine, since I'm not a native speaker of English!
I wish you all the success on here!

Hi, Elaine. I enjoyed reading your profile...could have been reading about myself. I had to quit practicing OT when I was 51 due to an old neck injury that eventually resulted in a ruptured disc at C7-T1. Was on disability until I was old enough to retire. Now working to supplement my income, and loving the WA experience. It's so nice to feel that I can be productive within my limitations. Best wishes for much online success, Elaine. Happy Easter. Carol

Hi Elaine,

Greetings! Nice to knowing a nice lady in your person. It's good you chose WA platform in your quest to make some money on the side. You are on the right place to fulfill your dream. Wish you all the best. Thanks for the follow and I'll do the same. Cheers!!!

Hello Elaine

Just dropping in to see how things are with you and if I can lend a hand in any way,

I just started a 2nd website and wondered if there was any advise you could give me seeing as you too have multiple websites,
any tips for maintaining them both would be greatly appreciated.

Until later, all the best for 2018

Gary

Hi Elaine and thank you for following. I am of course delighted to follow you in return.
Best wishes here on WA. I am sure you will find everything you need here in the way of help and support.
Please let me know if we can help each other at any time.

Hello Elaine! Thank you for following me. I am following you also. WA is definitely a great program with lots of support to work from home. Learn as much as you can, apply what you learn, and you'll make it work for you. Wishing the best for many successes to come.

Good morning, Elaine (from the west coast of Canada and thank you so much for adding me to your network. I have added you to mine as well.

You are absolutely in the right place and you will learn a lot here.

Like many here, I was a newbie and in many ways still am. I still don't feel like I have a full grasp on this yet but I feel that is going to change now that I am part of Kyle's mentoring group.

What an amazing opportunity we have. Going to give my best shot.

All the best to you as you continue this journey. WE CAN DO THIS.

Moving Forward,
Wayne

Thanks for following me. I'm following you back. You did the right thing by coming here. The lessons are meticulously designed and following them one step at a time really helps. I was completely clueless about online business and creating website five months back. But today, I'm managing two sites of my own. It's a testimony to the great learning material found here. I'm sure you'll benefit greatly from here. I wish you good health and much success. Shout out whenever you get stuck. Cheers!

Hello Elaine,

Thank you for adding me to your network. Sincerely wish you all the best in your online journey. Me too, I'll also encourage my kids to join WA. Not immediately, because they are either in early career/finishing college. They must also learn to fish in the blue ocean.

Cheers
Bashir

Hi Elaine and thanks for following me. It's very nice to meet you.
I'm sure it is difficult for you not to have to pleasure to work one on one with many people. Many of us here have a similar need to earn money without leaving our homes. The journey here in WA will be very fulfilling for each in their own way.
Stay well and have a great evening.
Dan

This has great content! Beautifully written incorporating your experiences.

I noticed on both your sites you're not capturing emails. There are no sign up forms . You do capture email info at the bottom of each post, but, you do not mention that they are signing up to receive additional info, it's more a verification prior to commenting.

http://cover-your-bum.com
Try to be more consistent with your image size and quality on your shop page.
You're "About Elaine" page seems to be your blog page. I would add a Blog page so all your posts go there. You can keep your "About Elaine" as a separate menu link.

Hope my suggestions help.
Lorrie

HI Elaine I took a look at your sites and here are my suggestions: http://cover-your-bum.com

I think your color scheme should be adjusted to reflect the youthfulness of the products you are marketing. Maybe colors more neutral or baby colors like pink, blue, yellow.

Love your content and message for this site.

Hello Elaine,

I'm so pleased to meet you. See you joined this very month - I wish you very welcome to WA. This is indeed, a marvellous place to learn the online marketing business with great guidance by the fabulous creators Kyle and Carson and an awesome helpful community.

I wish you a great flight to success, a smooth but exciting journey! Should you have any questions or just need some cheering up, then I would be happy to help you.

All the best,
:-) Pernilla

Hello Elaine
thank you for the following. It is a pleasure to connect with you.
I love meeting and connecting with all this great and open minded people here at Wealthy Affiliate. You are so blessed with your children and grandchildren. Happy to hear that you want to try something different.
Cheers Sylvia

Hi, Elaine. Thank you for connecting. I love your spirit. Welcome to Wealthy Affiliate. We have a great community here. Don't hesitate to ask your questions so the community members can help you. Wish you enjoy the journey and reach your goals. Also feel free to check out my website at:

Elaine,

It's great to meet you. I see that you went premium already. I did on my first day because of the further training that then became available to me.

I have a granddaughter, too. She'll be two in December. When she started walking, it wasn't very long before she was running everywhere. Such a bundle of energy she is.

Thank you for following me. I'll follow you as well. If you haven't already gone to a yearly payment, on the 24th, the Black Friday event offers the yearly payment for $299. That's 82 cents a day. I already went yearly when it was offered at $1 a day, but on Black Friday I can purchase another year for $299, and the third year will then remain at that price.

I'm keeping a spreadsheet of what I spend in anticipation of what I'll earn. I can't wait to start seeing the numbers on that side of the spreadsheet. I know that it takes a while for that to happen, and so meanwhile I train. I see that you have finished Course 1. And that you have set up your first web site. That's a great start you've got going.

I wish you much continued success.

Debra.

Welcome to WA - lots to learn here- stay focused - go through the Certification Courses first - you will get confused or frustrated from time to time - ask lots of questions - people are here to help you.

Hope they help - they did me Create Stunning Blog Posts & Pages With Elementor! Wealthy Affiliate 101 - Pt 2: How to Get Help and Support at Wealthy Affiliate Dictionary Wealthy Affiliate A-Z This one I wrote - deals with how to "close" for the result you want. How to sell online? the words to use. Stay with it - you don't need a wish of good luck - you need a plea to study the material and stay at it no matter what - it will change your life and hopefully the people you touch with your message.

Congratulations on choosing to become a premium member. But that's just your first small step - the real work starts now. Plan to work on your business every day - if you want to succeed you need to treat this seriously. You can do it - we all can do it - if we all put the work in, and support each other :-) I'm pretty new here myself, but if there is anything I can do to help please let me know.

I hope things are going well. I know you are getting rolling within the training and there is ONE thing that always tends to confuse people and that is "what is my niche?".

I know, same thing happened to me when I started.

I just wanted to reach out and let you know that I am here if you ever want to run any niche "ideas" by me or you have any questions about finding your niche.

Get back to me when you get the chance! :)

Hey there Elaine, welcome to Wealthy Affiliate.

Here are a few of my thoughts:

*If you should get stuck going through the lessons, find the GREEN button which keeps your place on each lesson.

*While going through lessons, if you have a question, scroll through the comments to see if your question is answered there

*Focus on your goals, keep them in front of you

*Stick with the lessons, don't skip anything because one mistake can cost you to be banned, or lose commissions.

*Connect with the community

Here's the first lesson: Getting Rolling! Keep this handy, hope this will help: How to Find Answers to Your Questions Hope this helps,
RitaAnn~

Hey Elaine!

I'm Kyle (not the owner, just a member).

You can get started with the training at any time in the menu on the left side of the screen. You will see the big green button that says "Get Started Here".

If you need any help let me know :)
