Setting Up For The Ride
We are asked to blog when we complete training level 2...so here goes. It will be pretty brief as I am stealing my lunch break to write this.
The About
I joined WA around late December 2018 and have been able to get through the content fairly quickly having just completed Level 2. I have learned so much in such a short time to be honest and believe it is money well spent.
I am really pleased so far with WA as a whole. My Website is up and several 1000+ keyword rich posts made already after researching with the Jaaxy tool to identify those low hanging fruit opportunities!
What I love about WA - What's not to love?
Apart from the extremely good course content and user community support?
A few things come to mind ...the action based goals within each Module really help me to get the work done and then of course the Jaaxy Tool which is a total 'game changer application' in my view.
I am guessing that most WEB people and SEO experts would know of it, but for the average Joe I think not. Being able to quickly see which Key word or phrase offers you the best chances of ranking is Golden! I see it as the unfair advantage over other Web Content people trying to get the word out and draw traffic in order to make a sale or financial gain.
The Niche - It's Big
My Niche you may be asking ? I am concentrating on the Loan Niche, Student, personal and Business loans, although all my posts so far have been directed to the 44 million students with a combined Student debt on 1.5 Trillion. I expect to be able to research and post across all those markets.
What's cool is that I am by no means an expert, but when I research the web there are fantastic source sites that really get in depth and granular around issues facing students today in the loan space. It helps with my content and I am learning a lot as go. I can see how time working on the niche means you grow into an expert in that area.
I am assuming that I will have the same experience when researching Personal Loans and Business loans and any number of topics around those subjects or markets.
The other positive note when researching is that I do see a lot of companies wanting to provide services to the students and other loan applicants. These will offer me partnering opportunities which I hope to get across as I get into the WA content further.
My Goals - Slow and Steady
While writing is not my favorite pastime I am willing to put the yards in if it means some financial success and the possibility of exiting the 9-5 that is preventing me from spending time with my kids and family.
I read success stories each time I am online here which really serves to motivate me to do more and utilize the time that I have after my normal work day and supporting my wife's business. I keep hearing that Content in King, so I am razor focused on increasing my output in that regards.
The aspect I am super excited about in the monetizing piece which is next and also fleshing out my website with content. It is just time on the platform and setting realistic goals to work towards.
On that subject of applied time and goals I wish to get at least a single post out a week and more if my work and home responsibilities allow me to. It's not unusual to stay up to the early hours on my wife's business, so I intend to do the same for WA.
Thank you to all members that have reached out and offered support. As I further my knowledge I will be reaching back out with questions that I will no doubt have.
Good luck to all those sitting with me in the 'newbie boat' and continued success for the veteran online entrepreneurs and marketers in WA
All the best
Gordon
