Hey guys! Hope all is well within our community!

I am coming up on my fourth month here at WA and thought I would give an update on how my progress has been thus far.

My Site

As of now I have 20 posts on my website! That turns out to be around 1-2 posts a week. I thought I would be doing more, but my time has been stretched and I'm working with it. It's definitely not as easy as I thought, to write when I want .

10 of those posts have been indexed in Google! Would love for all to be, but I am being patient and I know it will happen.

My organic search has been slowly climbing! Right now it's at around 16%. I am very happy with this since I have not been directing people to my site. I want this to happen naturally, over time.

I am a member of 4 affiliate programs! All of which fit perfectly with my niche. I have not made any sales yet, but this is okay.

Right now I am only trusted by Google 30% so I know when this number goes up, more rankings, more traffic, sales. I also know the key to this number increasing is content content content!

I did however, get rejected by Google Adsense. To me though, this is a blessing in disguise! I really do not want my site yucked up with those annoying ads and pop-ups! Never Ever!

I have a logo and a color theme for my site. This I believe makes it more inviting for the reader and encourages them to stay on the page, and I feel it makes the site easier for them to navigate when it flows nicely.

Social Media

I have incorporated a Facebook Business Page, along with Twitter and Pinterest. I did sign up for Instagram but I really do not like it at all. I think I'll stick with the others for now, and go from there.

I have built 4 pin boards (I think that's what they're called), and have 7 pins between them.

I am following 37 and being followed by 23, so far. I'm not really sure who those followers are though. Meaning whether they are from here or not. I did follow other members here at WA but don't think a lot has followed back since I do not see the notifications for some reason. I do check WA at least once a day.

Twitter is a little confusing, but I'm working with it. I do have a few people following me, friends from my contacts since it prompted me to sink them.

Though I find it hard to comment or engage on random trending topics since, well honestly, I really don't care.

PLEASE PLEASE do NOT take this offensively! No disrespect meant to anyone.

I am only interested in what I am interested in. I can't fake something I do not feel. And a lot of the topics out there now are about all the bullshit that this country is experiencing right now. If I comment, it might lead to confrontation, this I do not want to be a part of. I will defend my opinions on election day, in private.

Anyway, like I said, I'm working with it. LOL.

As for Facebook, well that I know and like. I have 33 followers and 33 likes, with 3 posts up.

Next Three Months

In the next three months I would like to double the amount of content I have already written. Meaning I would like to have 60 posts up by the end of these months, at least. That means I will have to write at least 2-3 posts a week. So looks like I have some time management I need to figure out. Goals!

I want to keep increasing my organic traffic through no efforts of my own other than improving my site.

I would love to have a sales goal, but that is impossible. Besides, Amazon is doing that for me. I think I have until March 2021 to get my 3 qualifying sales. Here's hoping!

Mainly, I just want to keep working and stay focused! Keep working on my site and writing quality content! Content which will entice my readers to read more and come back, and tell their friends to check me out!

Thank You Wealthy Affiliate!!!!

I want to thank each and every one of you who have helped me make it through these first three months. Kyle, Carson, and of course Vitaliy, my personal, THANK YOU!

I searched for a long time to find an online platform to work with and be able to achieve my dream of having my own business. This is BY FAR THE BEST!

I came into this in a really dark period of my life. I was looking for the light at the end of the tunnel. What I found was more than that. I found my future. I found my meaning again. I found myself again.

I am tearing up writing this because I was in such a dark place, and Wealthy Affiliate really did show me the light.

I CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR SHARING WITH ME THIS OPPORTUNITY WHICH HAS CHANGED MY LIFE.

To anyone new here at Wealthy Affiliate, welcome! Keep doing what you're doing! Follow the training and stay on track. Try not to get discouraged. Things will pan out in the long run.

THIS IS A MARATHON, NOT A SPRINT. ONE DAY AT A TIME.

For the Love of Coffee

Hi Angela

Sounds like you have made a great start!
There is definitely stuff that you will enjoy and stuff that you don’t. I’m not a big fan of social media either and find it hard to engage regularly too.
Keep making progress and you will find a way that works for you.

Dave

Thank you Dave for the kind words. Yes, keep moving forward doing what I can. That is the goal.

Angela

Great post, Angela. Is inspirational and motivate us to keep going. I'm glad to hear you found your platform from which to work from. I do believe I did too; WA is no doubt the way to go for us newbies.

Thanks a lot for sharing. Have a wonderful journey ahead.

Felix.

Thank you for your kind words! Yes, WA is definitely the best platform to work with for me.

Good luck to you!

Angela

Thank you for sharing your story I am new here and every little detail will help me along the way. By the way I am not a fan of Instagram either.

I am glad that I could help, even in just a little way.

Good luck to you!

Angela
