First blog post and progress so far
So I've been in at WA a bit more than a month I think, and I really like it so far. My website is slowly coming together and I am learning a lot.
I wrote my first blog post today following the Affiliate Bootcamp about reviewing WA, I am now at course 1, Lesson 8. In the past weeks, I've been having a bit of troubles writing content, maybe lack of inspiration,ideas or motivation, took me quite some time writing out my theme pages. I couldn't put as much time in it that I thought I would, but I finally did it, there's still some work to be done on it but I am really happy with what I did so far, I didn't think I could do something like that and I think it's only getting better and better :)
So here's my first post : http://yourwebsiteyourbusiness.com/wealthy-affilia...
I'd really appreciate comments on it or suggestions, and I would be happy to return the favor :)
Thank you
Emile

Hi Emile, I left a comment on your website. Very well done. There are some tweeks to make as stated in comments below. Keep going full ahead. It is all a learning process including the writing and editing. Great job! Gina Gonzalez
Hey, thanks so much Gina, I am working on it at the moment and everybody is a big help, I still got lot's to learn

Hi Emile, Great first review post. I left a comment as though I was thinking about joining WA.
Just a couple of suggestions,
1) The list under 'What will you find inside wealthy affiliate?' I would use bullet points to make them stand out more.
If you go into editing mode in Wordpress, you just need to put your cursor at the side of each item and click the bullet point icon. See the image below.
2) You need to proofread your work as there are a few grammatical errors. There is a Free and non affiliate program that a lot of members use called http://grammarly.com which will help you with grammar.
3) Your site heading needs changing to your site name. Your can do this by going into appearance and customize. (I will be sending you a private message shortly about adding a logo).
Hope this helps and keep up the great work. You are doing really well.

Hey, Lis, I just add bullet points it is a great idea, I also downloaded Grammarly and it's amazing! It is going to help me so much I am using it right now writing this. For the heading, I find out how to take out the logo and add my website name instead but I don't know if it's possible to add my own logo as well as the website name, still got things to learn and I love it.
Thank you very much for your help
Emile
Hi Emile, you are welcome and I am glad that my suggestions were of help. I also agree the bullet points do look better.
Keep learning :)

Hi Emile I read your review and it is well done, myself I could feel that I was learning and it is engaging, so job well done. I left you a comment for you to answer so you can start to build your traffic and engaging Google. Hope it helps! Cheers
Thanks Daniel, great to hear and it helps very much ! I will return the favour !
Cheers, Emile
Where it says "What will you be doing at WA.I kind of feel you should have WA both in capitals,you also have left out a letter,it should be related instead of relate.I think you have done exceptionally well for being here a month,just take a read over the next paragraph also,I think there is a spelling mistake there as well.
Hey Mark you are right, I put capitals instead, also I will look through it to find the mistakes, thanks for telling me I appreciate it !
Emile
Hi Emile. Good job with breakdown of WA on your review. I did find some typos that you might want to fix. One of your paragraphs you say Wa instead of WA. I would use Wealthy Affiliate as most people might not know what WA is. Also your paragraphs are a bit long so I would shorten them to no more than 4 sentences each.
I think you did a pretty good job for someone who was nervous about writing his first blog post. I know how you feel. Same happened to me. But I just kept up with my training and working hard learning from others. It gets easier and more enjoyable once you relax and start adding more content. Wishing you the best Emile.

Hey Angela, thanks for telling me I was trying not repeating wealthy affiliate too much but I think you're right, not everyone will understand what WA means and for the shorter paragraphs, I agree with you, It will be easier to understand this way, I fixed it right away.
I am starting to enjoying it a lot, what a feeling writing something and being able to say that you did this, and all the help I am getting here motivates me even more.
Thank you very much
Emile
You are going to do just fine. Your enthusiasm is so refreshing and will help you to do well. It is exciting when you publish your first blog. Everyone here is ready and willing to help. You are so welcome Emile.
Emile, I LOVE what you are accomplishing on your website! A few minor tweaks here and there.....if you are interested in helpful suggestions, of course you can pm me, but have you submitted it through WA platform as well? You might get some awesome ideas from this vast group of networkers! Excellent choice of theme, by the way!
Thank you Rosie ! I am always open to suggestions and it is because of this I can get better. I think I will wait a bit before submitting it because I have still a lot of things I need to fix and get done before but it is a good idea and yes I really like the theme too :)
Emile
Hi Emile,
You post is good, but it is a bit too short.
"What wealthy affiliate has to offer ?" what does this mean.
I have left you a comment.
Hey MisterWailor, thank you for your time I will add more content on it soon and answers the questions you left me I understand a bit more what I am missing and by "What wealthy affiliate has to offer ? " I was thinking what do we find in wealthy affiliate but I think will reformulate this I didn't use the right words.
Thanks a lot
Emile
