My Early Days in Wealthy Affiliate
Hi Everyone, this is Rebecca here!!! I joined Wealthy Affiliate in August of this year and became a Premium member 3 days after in Aug. 22nd. So I am now on my 25th day of becoming a member which is a little over 3 weeks. Within these days, I was sick for a week and confined in a hospital for 4 days. Those days took me away from my training time.
Currently, I am in Course 2 Lesson 10 of the training modules. I enjoyed every bit of the training especially the website building. I should say it was kind of addictive for me, in a way that, once I start working on the lessons, I cannot seem to get myself out of it, and I was not noticing the wee hours of the night. I could not seem to separate myself from my computer, unless/until my eyes are just half open. Creating my website was a test of my patience as I have encountered some obstacles in the process. I could not get my pages to look the way I wanted them to, that eventually I had to seek help from support. I was told there was a problem with my theme and that they had to change my theme. Even after support help, I was still having difficulty fixing my pages. It took me hours, maybe a couple of days, to figure out what I missed. And when I did, PRESTO my pages began to look the way I wanted it to look. So this time, I became the boss and not Wordpress.
Another nerve pinching situation was when one of my images would appear not where I set it to appear. I tried, several times, deleting the image and re-installing, until again, I discovered what I did that I should not have done. So the entire process was a learning curb for me.
At this point, I cannot wait to get to the end of the training modules, because then I would be certain that I have learned everything there is to learn in WA and have applied these steps to my current website. My website now, is like a trial and error site for me. When I complete the training, I expect my site to achieve perfection.
My niche is anti-aging and my URL is www.anti-aging-facial-care.com.
I could not name any success for me yet as there is none. Like I said, I am only building. I may have made a few dollars and cents from ads that I created in facebook before I joined WA but I really do not consider that success. At least not yet.
In 3 months, I am hoping to be able to set my website now into perfection and be on my way to start creating a new one, which, by the way, I am so excited about. In 6 months, I am hoping and expecting to be enjoying the financial rewards of my efforts and just continue building and creating, as time allows.
So guys, I am so happy to be here with all of you. I was with a couple or 3 affiliate programs before but WA is like family.
So last but not the least, more power to all of you, and of course, to me as well.

Hi Rebecca, I am happy to see you back at WA. Welcome to a wonderful and helping community.
I had to learn that web building takes time and that it is an on-going process. So, you are doing just fine. Your site is looking good, so keep going forward.

Hi LouisaB, thanks for the comments Wow you are in Top 200 how long have you been wd WA? At this stage T200 is kind of remote for me. Does the rank give any benefit? That I dont understand just yet.
hi Rebecca, it sounds like you have been making great progress, fantastic! I too have had similar frustrations to you with the layout, but so far I am trying to focus more on developing content. I tried to check out your site but could not get through on the link you posted (not sure if it is my internet connection though). It sounds like you have some realistic and achievable goals, I wish you every success, best wishes Amanda
Thanks Amanda, i will check the links, I was sure it was working when i published it but thanks for letting me know.
