My experience at Wealthy Affiliate - week 35

Let me not beat it round the bush. This week update has to be a good one. Why? Because things are looking up!

The glass is half full

I was just thinking tonight, and counting my blessings, I felt grateful to the Powers Above (no religious reference, interpret the powers in whichever way you believe).

Without wanting to tempt fate, this year has been a much better year. My mental health was deteriorating last year, in spite of reducing my working hours in November. But I guess I only started ripping the benefits at the beginning of the year. And yes, working less hours on my 'day job' had given me more time to work on this venture.

And yes, as you know from my previous updates, it's certainly not been plain sails all the times at all! But I am now getting in a routine of publishing two posts per week, whilst proceeding with my learning at the same time. And it appears that this newly found rhythm suits me just fine.

Two more hours to go...

... till the end of this week. But I feel so re-energised, that I intend to use them to finish my post tonight by inserting pictures, links and then publish.

This week confirmed the theory, shared by many, that the summer sees a decline in online activity. Because this week I started getting referrals, and a small sale on my Amazon affiliate account.

This may not mean much to many, but to me it's massive achievement, after I really thought that this was the end of it and the myracle may not repeat ever again.

I suppose what helped was the fact that I started working on marketing and interacting on social media. And that goes to show how important working on your marketing strategies is.

More to do

But, again there is still so much to do.

For starters I am intending to look on further training on making best use of Instagram, and Google Plus again, which I am still struggling with.

And of course the plan is to move forward with Bootcamp, where this week I only managed one lesson.

I am still looking for best autoresponder providers, but that will take a little longer as I don't want to rush in hasty decisions.

Lesson learnt

Now, if there is a lesson I have learnt this week is this: try keeping a positive attitude, even when you do not achieve as much as planned, because it is with a happier spirit that you can write better and you can learn more.

"Do as I say, not as I do"

And on this note, I wish you all a serene and productive week!
