Hi everyone,

I just thought I would give an update on where I am after my first month with WA. So to be clear from the start, I had no prior experience with building websites or marketing what so ever.

1 month in I have my website up and running with quite a few posts now: http://plant-based-running.com... and I'm really trying to engage with everything I am learning.

For anyone just stating out and wondering if they should go Premium or not I would encourage you to do so. I was apprehensive in the beginning but I can honestly say I should never have been worried - this is the happiest I have been for such a long time. I feel like I'm doing something for once that I am really enjoying.

For anyone new I would have the following advice:

Chose a niche you are interested in - it makes it so much easier to create content in my opinion.
Don't rush things - do the certification at a steady pace and take it all in. There is a lot to learn and the content alone is awesome.
Get feedback from the community - you will never find a more honest and supportive bunch than what you will find on here. People are just so willing to offer you their experience.
Give feedback - we all start somewhere and I hope that I am able to support others the way I have been supported up to now.
Never be afraid to ask a question - no question is stupid and someone will always be there to offer support.
Don't put yourself under unnecessary pressure - if your having a bad day don't worry. It can't always be perfect. I see lots of people worrying about when they will start to get ranked on Google or when they will start earning money. Yes this is important, but you won't get there overnight. It will come, just take it one step at a time.
Work hard and enjoy the journey.

I have learnt so much over the past 4 weeks I just can't believe it. I would be really interested to know what other advice people have to offer or experiences they have had up to now.. I would be really interested to hear you comments.

Here's to a wonderful future to you all.

Best regards,

Mark.
