SWAG update for week 4
Hello Everyone,
I am exhausted.. the Super Affiliate Challenge has been a real challenge for me. I started out right on task and making fast progress but that has slowed way down after taking up a full time job again. The intense job training along with the SWAG challenge is very exhausting.
I am currently 4 posts behind, I have one that is almost done so that will leave just three more to go for this month, but I can barely keep my eyes open so I won't get much more done tonight.
This weekend is a super busy weekend for family things so not sure where I will be able to carve out time to write any articles.
I am still determined to stick with the SWAG challenge but it's looking like I may be starting next month already behind.
I promise I will do my best,
PamI

I think as far as you keep on doing as much as you can, all will be okay. I am also in a full time job and what is keeping me motivated is knowing what I want to achieve with WA (looking at my end goal). Maybe like me, in future after you start earning with WA you would like to quit that job or maybe reduce the number of hours. Let us encourage one another as everyone who joined WA have their own reasons why joined.
I am really looking forward to quitting my job someday, hopefully by the end of the year, that's why I so desperately want to stick with the SWAG challenge and stay caught up
i only have about 2 hours a night so I do stress but I try to take it one step at a time and just keep moving forward.
Thanks
stay with it many swaggers have not met all the goals set forth. I included. it's not a race go at your pace we got a whole year. we are all at different stages and development. I'm rooting for you! see you in Vegas.
You're doing very good Pam. It is very trying for sure when having a full time job. You are doing the best you can and Lauren has some great suggestions if you are able to that.
It seems too that you are also not alone, so hang in there and do what you can.
I've seen quite a few posts that people are running behind, the pressure is on so it only makes sense.
Pam, you are doing a sterling job on top of full time work! Congrats! Now that you have some income coming in you could use some of it to pay a good content writer to do some posts for you. You can choose the keyword and topic yourself and hire someone on Fiverr or Upwork. If you find a good writer, all you'll need to do is edit it slightly to make it your own. Just an idea to take the pressure off.
Or now might be a good time to ask some blogging friends to write you a guest post? My Mom wrote a guest post for me for my SWAG site and I've asked a friend to write one too.
Pam, you are not alone with being behind. I am behind with my posts. I can no longer write a quality post in a day. I did that for one month in 2016. Although it felt great publishing daily the quality wasn't there.
I know we need to write 12 post and not 30 posts this month, but I haven't achieved the 12 and time is running out.
So, please don't be concerned. You've got company!
My problem has been to write quality posts to order. I think to start from scratch and build my website +++ has been a shock.
I need a little time savour and enjoy or else the meaning just dilutes.
It’s quality that I want to share and bring people home to WA.

When I wasn't working i could get 2 maybe three done in a week, but now it's so hard.
I did manage to get three posts done in 5 days this week so maybe I can get one or two more done.
I just fear that they aren't that great, that pushing them out so fast is not allowing me to really put myself into each post. It's almost mechanical so to speak instead of me talking.
Maybe down the road when time permits I can go back and edit them.
Keep moving forward, I know you can do it too
I agree I feel that rushing articles out is not giving the reader quality content, and I don't feel that I have been able to instill my own personality into my posts, they are more mechanical instead of personal.
We are going for quantity instead of quality when we are crunched for time.
I guess we will need to plan on going back at a later date and editing them.
Pam, I am going for quality now. I don't want to go back over the posts I'm creating now. I still haven't caught up on those hurriedly created posts. Those are my thoughts, and I hope it helps :)
The truth for me is that next month I will plan better. We have read often enough we need to set goals. There will be times when we will be tested by outside conditions, this is life.
Enjoy the rest of your day.
Wayne
A few deep breaths and some relaxation in order I think?
We know the effort required now, working 24/7 doesn’t inspire creativity. Chill a while and back to it.
Wayne
Setting goals is good, but strict time management needs to be planned as well. And we never know when we will be faced with challenges!
But it's all good, Wayne.
Cheers :)
You are doing absolutely amazing Pam!! I think a few of us will start with a couple of posts behind.
Have a brilliant weekend, do what you can do. WA is going no where and we wait to see what Kyle says on Sunday!
He is 100% behind our success and so are we! We want good for our business and WA. It’s a Team thing.
We can all push each other to get through this year!!
Wayne
Fully agree with Wayne! I will be behind the post count goal as well. But I think rather strategically - what matters more is the direction.
If it is the right one - we will succeed. As for the exact goals we chase - we will catch up in the next month!
Thank you Wayne, it is so draining mentally right now, but I know there is light at the end of the tunnel. So I am pushing on.
I have a hard time being supportive for other right now I can barely get my tasks done.
I help if and when i can.
Thank you
I know we will have more task added next month so I am pushing so hard to get caught up.
I just have this thing with being behind...I don't like it and it ads more stress when I am.
I wish you success, I know you will get caught up also.
Agree, Pam! "Falling behind the schedule" feeling is frustrating to me, as well.
The way I am fighting with the stress is this broader view I am trying to see.
I think something like "This business is not a standard production line. You can create one post that is more beneficial than 7 other average ones..."
This is my way to escape from the stress of being expected to produce a text after text for a certain period of time.
Exactly Anton
We are creating futures, improving the life’s of others and not creating production lines.
We have been set these tasks by Kyle to help us move forward and create successful businesses and generate incomes!
The work needs to be done. Kyle prides himself on helping others, he has our best intentions at heart.
He has helped others create 6 to 7 figure incomes, sure he wants that for us and we all want this to!
We are conscientious or else we wouldn’t be here, we just have a few commitments and obstacles that are testing us.
It’s about constantly moving forward and progressing.
Wayne
Thank you Elaine, I wish there were more hours in the day, I only have about 2 hours each weeknight to get anything done and that's IF I don't get tons of interruptions from the family and the pets.
Thanks for your support
All you can do is to do your best. I am a stay at home mom and I'm not done with the task either. I couldn't imagine trying to keep up and have a full time job outside the home.
Best Of Luck
Being a stay at home Mom is still work, I did that also when my kids were young and the only break is IF they nap at the same time you might get a break.
Thank you for your vote of confidence, I wish you luck also

By reading the past post I see we are not alone. Working full time and living life can have its own challenges. Slow but steady can still win the race.

Moving forward is key...one step at a time. But oh man it is hard to stay motivated when I'm so exhausted
It will all be worth it though.
