Hello Amazing WA community!
My name is Hà and I am a proud Vietnamese - American living in Maitland, Florida. I teach, demonstrate, and share how to make Vietnamese food. My favorite hobby is rock climbing indoor and outdoor.
My WA anniversary date was July 11, 2017. I am updating my profile September 21, 2017. After reading many inspiring profiles since I joined, I thought I should share more about myself to my new community and wonderful new friends. This will be my perfect journal to document my life before WA and my successes at WA.
Looking back at my life, I realized that I have accomplished a lot more than I thought. I worked at many jobs and wore many hats from being a waitress, newspaper carrier, etc and up to a Special Digital Effect Sequence supervisor. I love computers so it became my specialty, creating special effects using computer graphics. I also dabbled in real estate investments.
After my children were born, I quit my money making job and became a stay at home mom. Thanks to my dedicated, generous, and loving husband, I was able to stay home full time. Our real estate investment also helped out financially. While being a stay at home mom, I published a Vietnamese cookbook and did a handful of cooking demonstrations to promote my cookbooks.
In 2008, the real estate bubble broke and our investment went along with many others down the drain. We were also scammed by many other investments as well. Huge lesson learned and totally gun shy about investments. I lost trust in others and especially in myself to make the right decision. We totally had to start over from scratch.
With two young children at the time, we moved across country from California to Florida and started life all over again. It was very similar to what my parents did but not as extreme. My parents took six children and traveled half way across the world (from Vietnam to America) and started a new life. That is yet another story...
While my husband works for a company to support the family, I work different part time jobs and become an entrepreneur. I created Pho Queen Cooking to sell my cookbooks and demonstrated Vietnamese cooking. I created new products - a peanut sauce called Magic Monkey and Magic Dragon sauces. They sell very slowly. I created a website called www.PhoQueenCooking.com to help promote it. Alas, I knew very little about internet marketing and I didn't create the time to learn.
My husband has a dream to have his own company in creating virtual reality, a space to inspire people to be who they want to be in life and live life to the fullest. However he feels that his dream would have to wait because his family's welfare and finance should be met first. I am touched and inspired by his abundance of love and concerns for me and our children. I want to find away to help make his dream come true.
In search of ways to make more money, I came across WA and I thought this would be a perfect place to learn and apply them to my existing website. My goal is to be the provider of my family and allow my husband to bring his dream into reality. I look forward to a successful journey at WA.
Here are my current websites:
- http://PhoQueenCooking.com
- http://RockClimbingForWomen.com - website I created with WA
Any thoughts and perspectives are totally appreciated.

Hello Ha!
So nice to meet you! Wanted to connect with you for some time already, but finally I'm here saying hello to you.
It's also my dream to be working independantly and contribute with greater earnings, so my husband also could start building his own business.
Wish you a great success with your online business!

You sound like you have had a turbulent life. Virtual reality is a coming field. Your husbands interest and expertise might make that a good niche. I'm from Hawaii and Vietnamese restaurants are popular here.
You all ready know that WA is a great place to learn and Internet marketing is one of the best places to create or expand a business.

Hello Kevin! Thank you for your suggestion for online cooking. I have thought about that but did not pursue yet. Perhaps, maybe... hmmm... Lots more to learn on the marketing so I can promote cooking online.
I've been doing real demonstrations at different venues. It's slowly picking up. Thanks for stopping by.

Please visit my personal site and link to my blog cure anxiety. On it I sell CBD which is a supplement I have a very strong belief in. The company is a young husband and wife and they have a great affiliate program. They pay a 20% commission and also a 10% commission for sub affiliates. Much like WA you can join free. They do have premium programs but they do not push you to do any program.

Thank you!!! I understand your feelings with 2008 real estate crash. It is hard to let go. I still think about it every now and then.
I am learning that health is more important than money. I am making it higher on my priority. Money flows in and out. Now I focus on my family and my health and my passion. I feel money will follow when I am happy.
I got $ before and I am sure I can do it again. We will celebrate our successes together. :)

I love what you are saying. It really ring true to me. I shall take that advise to heart. Thank you so much for that reminder. Really put a smile on my face.
My first name is Hà and Roda is my married last name.
Actually Ngân Hà is my Vietnamese full name. However, I changed Ngân to be my middle name and Hà as my first name.
Hà means liquid and Ngân means mercury. Together it means mercury river or the Milky Way in the sky.
Thank you for asking. I love the opportunity to share it...

Hello Ha and welcome to Wealthy Affiliate.
Since you joined and with your previous experience you will perhaps have come to the conclusion that internet marketing can be a steep learning curve.
If you do get stuck on anything then can I suggest you browse some of the 370+ blogs I have published within WA.
You have decided to follow me and I will follow you as well.
Enjoy your day.

I hope things are going well. I know you are getting rolling within the training and there is ONE thing that always tends to confuse people and that is "what is my niche?".
I know, same thing happened to me when I started.
I just wanted to reach out and let you know that I am here if you ever want to run any niche "ideas" by me or you have any questions about finding your niche.
Get back to me when you get the chance! :)
