Having been with WA for almost 12 months now I thought it time I updated my profile to more accurately reflect where I'm at with my online journey.
I started with WA because I want to leave my full-time job and work for myself. I wish to be the captain of my ship and master of my destiny. And I am a long further down that road than when I started.
I have a niche site dedicated to new horse owners which is my passion. This is my first ever affiliate marketing site, that I built as I worked my way through the Online Certification training. It's got some learning hiccups but it is my pride and joy and I continue to build it out but at a slow pace.
I also have a Bootcamp site to help others like me who want to escape the rat race. I started the second site when I commenced the Bootcamp training, now a little over half way through it, and I am having a lot of fun with it.
I love this community. I've made real friends and lifelong colleagues and without their support I fear I would have given up long ago.
If you are new to affiliate marketing welcome and know you've come to the right place. Everything you need to be successful is right here. Make the most of the opportunities and you will soar to success.

Hi Heidi i hope you don't mind me sending you a PM. i spend only a small amount of time on live chat as i feel i need to be working on my site. But i have been seeing some of your comments and thoughts lately like the ones to Nathaniel today, and a lot of them i think about myself. i started a little after after you but like you i have put in a fair bit of effort and would really like to start seeing a bit of return. i am wondering if we can exchange a couple of numbers I will publish my 100Th post today or tomorrow and i am averaging 30 organic visitors per week, 1 sale in the last 5 months which was recent, i am wondering is there anyone else out there doing these numbers. Am i doing something wrong? is a question i ask myself. I would apreciate your thoughts as you are obviously putting in the effort. Thanks Shane

BTW, "dink" is still used, but probably not in vogue. The younger generation would have no idea what it means! ;-)

Hey Heidi, I think you missed my follow-up comment on Dylan's training so decided to post here. You said:
"I was recently approved as a full affiliate and apparently they do check your site for compliance so it must have been ok."
Q: What do you mean by "approved as a full affiliate"? How do we know when they do a second approval?

Oh how wonderful to have the squirrels, I wish we lived somewhere with wildlife like that. Most of our wildlife here in Australia aren't that friendly lol.
I have a stable cat called Happy who is an absolute joy, he keeps the horses company and the mice down, as well as two house cats at home.
I have a friend in a different state that feeds the wild Kookaburras on her balcony every afternoon.

Heidi,
I was reading some on your website about understanding a horses signs by listening. Interesting how that is so similar to listening to humans how we listen to our animals. Everything works out better when we do. This is one major part I took away from reading your post. Very good! the website is well done. You will be very successful with it.
Thanks for the follow also.
Take care,
Bill

Thank you for your lovely comments Bill. I sure hope it is successful in the long run. I'm hoping to give up my day job to do this full time at some stage.
I agree with you I think as humans we talk and do too much when we might be better off just slowing down and listening to our friends, family and our animals.

Hello Heidi! I love being a DINK while it lasted. I don't think I heard this acronym in a long time. Now we have children and more like SINK while I am working on the self employed thing. Heee... heee... Heee... I can taste successes in the horizon.
Best wishes for a wonderful year

Hi. Heidi.
Paul Mindra here from Ontario, Canada.
Thank you for inviting me to be a part of your network. I graciously accept by following you back.
Welcome to The Wealthy Affiliate community. I am very pleased to make your acquaintance.
The term 'DINK' is not as used nowadays as what is was in the past. I remember the years between 1975 and 1995 when it was a common term.
I think it is going to come back. Too many people are struggling to make ends meet and the addition of children into the mix may or may not be a chosen decision by many. Kind of sad.
I'm sure that your furry friends hold you to as much if not more responsibility than most kids.I'm not being negative in any way.
If I could have afforded a horse for my son and our family while he was growing up would probably have led to direction in all of our lives now that would be different. All things worked out though. Choice is the name of the game.
I look forward to sharing, learning and serving with you as we all move forward here.
Kindest regards,
Paul.

Thanks for the follow, following you back. I'm not sure about taking off but I have written a lot of posts lol.
I understand now what it takes to make this a success, but as I also work full time it's a bit of a struggle to keep the content flowing.
Your wife is a lucky lady, I'd love to be working with my horses full time, but hopefully this will at least give me more time with them.

Hello Heidi and Welcome To Wealthy Affiliate.
Since you joined you will perhaps think that internet marketing can be a steep learning curve.
You must keep referring to the training, but if you get really stuck on anything then can I suggest you browse some of the 400+ blogs I have published within WA.
You can always get in touch with me as well.
You have decided to follow me and I will follow you as well.
Have a great day.

Hi Heidi,
I was having trouble with my niche, but the members here have been so helpful. I would like to run my idea past you and get your opinion since you went broad with your niche as well. Here is my idea. Instead of blogging content about everything, I focused it on making the old new again. From what I understand I can create affiliate relationships with specific stores like Amazon or Walmart, or with products like Minwax, or Black and Decker. So my thought is say I do a blog post about building a butcher block countertop over the top of my old laminate topped island. Couldn't I incorporate a link for example to Home Depot for everything from the safety goggles, to the saws, the sanders, the stain, the sealer and even the oil used for upkeep? Then the next blog is on a refurbished dresser, and I do affiliate links for the sandpaper, to the paint I used? Am I on the right track here???

I think repurposing is a great niche. Making old new again I would have thought is quite fashionable and people will need/expect to spend money, which is of course why we are doing what we do.
As long as the blogs focus is on helping people achieve what they are looking for - so say someone Googles "repurposing my kitchen bench top" they find your site and your blog needs to help them achieve this.
So your niche is people who want to upcycle and repurpose.
I am no expert but I think it's perfect :)

My apologies to the two people who's pages I commented on through the SiteComment section last night.
I have completely misunderstood the intent of this section. I thought it was to offer constructive criticism on the posts but I see now that it's to gain actual comments on your site.
I did read the how to make comments bit but obviously I interpreted it wrong.
No wonder they have been disapproved! So sorry for messing you around, rookie mistake.

Good day to you Heidi, my name is Ken and I welcome you to WA and thank you for the follow. I'm following you back. I assume they do not say that "DINK" anymore - I don't know what that means, by the way. LOL
By learning how to market online you can accomplish anything you desire. You can start an online business and have the option to grow your income while you still keep your 9-5 job. I suggest you first learn from the Get Started Here section [top left green box]. You'll learn how to choose a niche, create a niche website, and how to do keyword research.
I look forward to working with you and wish you much enjoyment and success in your online journey.

Hello Heidi
Congratulations on going Premium.
I just wanted to say that while there is much value to be had here at Wealthy Affiliate, it can sometimes seem very overwhelming, with everything that has to be done.
My advice from experience is to focus totally on one of the training directions, the green certification OR the Bootcamp, and to stick with that until you have finished it.
Wishing you every success with your business.

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! :)

Thanks Kyle I didn't want to bug you quite so soon LOL, I have decided on new horse owners as my niche market, just not sure if it's too broad? I'm thinking to build the site with helpful information and then of course links to products they might need. I also thought this way blogs could be used for trending products. Your thoughts appreciated.
