Happy Friday, everyone!

I just wanted to encourage all of you to do what you can, and most importantly, to learn. I had an amazing experience today, and I really wanted to share it as an example of why WA is a great place to learn.

I am a newbie, TOTAL newbie, I get it. However, when I ask a question - it gets answered, and it got answered so well that I had to skim the answer and revisit it when I am not at work. That sort of in-depth and tailored response is why WA is so great.

For those of you who have referrals that you mentor - please do this! Please take the time to be personal to their journey, and please be specific as they grow. It truly means the difference between a random place online where I can find out what I need to know by myself, and the community of people here who genuinely thrive off of others' success.

I also want to share my accomplishments in the short time I've been with WA:

1. I started my own website in a niche that I love
2. I have written 20k words this month!
3. I've written and published at least one article per day since beginning WA.
4. I have started a second website as an affiliate promoter of WA - because of the support and tools that I have here.
5. I learned about SEO
6. I learned about keyword finding and tailoring my niche to important keywords
7. I learned about Google Analytics, and have had 30 clicks on my content! :D
8. I learned about affiliates, and so far have had 26 total clicks to Amazon from my affiliate links! (No purchases yet, though!)
9. I learned how to write an in-depth review of products
10. I learned how to structure content for readers and social media
11. THERE IS SO MUCH MORE!

Truly, this is just the tip of the iceberg, and I honestly look forward to writing when I get home every day. I know that this will change, and I will have ups and downs. The reason that I write this is so later, in the downs, I can look back and see when I was thriving. I encourage you all to do this!! Write down your "holy crap look at what I did" feelings - so that when you don't feel like going on, you can remember.

Finally, thank you to all of the mentors out there who take the time to really help. If you didn't, this wouldn't be the place that it is.

Best,

Hilary J. (omnia)
