My WA Progress Report

i remember when I used to write progress reports for projects as a Project Coordinator back in the early 2000s. It was necessary for evaluation of work done and the planing for the way forward.

I did it then as part of my job description, and I think it is also a good job description here at WA to do so at this point.

I did not think I would be asked to do this as a task, and so it amuses me when I came across this DO part of WA. It is a good way to lead people to success by keeping a self discipline, and it makes me believe more that WA knows what it is doing.

I already wrote a post on my website titled: EARLY EXPERIENCES AT WA (www.selling4them.com). I have pasted the content here below:

( My experience at Wealthy Affiliate (WA) in this early stage is a challenging one, and I believe it is the same with any life enterprise. Life is a challenge, and challenges make success something to cherish when a break through comes along.

It has been sounded loud and clear to me, as I follow the lessons that, patience is needed; so that, I should not quit in the first week of challenges. Hard work has been stressed and proceeds may start crawling in by the third month, and may stand up by the sixth month and start walking in a year's time.

I see a mountain before me to climb to the top within the next year or two and as I plant seeds, and arrange my foot holds, I hope to make it on time. A couple of questions and concerns pass through my mind and I think it is proper to plan on how to overcome them, record them and later on, make an evaluation of my progress. Shall I quit after the first month due to the inability to meet up with premium dues? Shall my niche be able to stand the test of time and bring in traffic that, will convert to earnings? These are some challenges that, I must work at so that, in a years time I can sigh for relief.

ENCOURAGEMENT

Despite the numerous challenges, I find out that, the design of WA affiliate is very appealing to any man or woman that, wants to earn their success. The encouragement at WA is very appealing and real and would cause a feeling of loss if I were to quit.

1. TRAINING: The training courses at WA affiliate are very relevant to success in this modern age of technology. WA packs the best and most advanced technology used to train members and provide them tools to succeed for a price that, is the cheapest online as compared to what they offer including the follow-up up they bring to members for their success. In less than 2 weeks I have received strong foundation classes on how to develop my own website, write content that, can attract visitors through google and other search engine rankings, and learn how to register domains and transfer them from one registrar to another.

2. COST EFFECTIVE: I have looked around on the internet and found that, WA offers a stabilized membership cost which stands at a dollar per day as compared to more than 2 dollars for most web hosting and other sites. Their upgraded membership is one level: premium as compared to a lot of scam sites and Ponzis online, that, offer several levels with huge amounts. Their membership has never been increased for more than 13 years now and yet they offer free web hosting, free keyword research, free website security, free site content writing software, and many more

3. A BUSY COMMUNITY: WA boasts of a community of over 1.2 million members. You just look at the present following of the co-founder Kyle, and see that, it is more that, 1.1 million. What I enjoy about the community is that, it is full of people who make their money through learning and hard work. Everybody at WA is DOING something to earn them income rather than trying to trick people and steal their money. I love to work with real people who do work and seek daily to improve on their skills and find better ways of doing what they do best.

4. PROMPT SOLUTIONS TO CHALLENGES: Every challenge in life has a solution and at WA challenges get solved quite rapidly. Apart from their 25 member technical team working more 60 hours weekly, lots of challenges are offered by coaches and other experienced community members, so that, Site Support does not have to be bothered with each and every little gritty issue. I have experienced this during my few days at WA.

LESSONS LEARNT

I wish to share with you the lessons that, I have learnt in the form of a few recommendations, especially if you are coming into WA newly. At WA I have watched the leaders and notice that, they tell you the truth and allow you to make your decisions. This is the spirit that, inspires me and gives me the courage to put in hard work so that, I can overcome the challenges ahead of me and be on top of the mountain by the second year.

That said, if you are coming into WA, your premium upgrade is less by 65% if you upgrade within your first month of signing up after which it goes up to 49 dollars per month, and you can still save money if you subscribe for a year down to 1 dollar per day.

BUYING DOMAINS

Make sure you get enough advice if you want to buy your domain outside of wealthy affiliate. Their Domain cost is 13.98dollars per year and that, includes every security you need. Other web hosting sites will offer you a range of hosting options and other expenses will never be released to you until your first purchase. You end up to spend the unforeseen.

WA trains you and makes it clear to you what you expect and that, is what you get. You may fall into my kind of experience in which my transaction at WA for a domain name was refused due to security reasons, probably because of the part of the world where I come from, as someone suggested. I did not lose any money however, but it was frustrating and I was eager to have my own domain. I finally got recommendations to buy from other providers which I did, only to find out that, I can not use this Domain at WA until 60 days expire!

Of course, this can dampen the zeal of someone like me who wanted to make good use of my first month at WA, and may not have the funds to go for several Domain names. It is my recommendation that, you contact community members at WA to help you with the process of buying Domains elsewhere other than WA, and make sure you are familiar with the Domain name transfer procedure from other hosting sites to WA before you purchase.

Finally, PATIENCE wins the race at WA as well as in life as a whole. For people who are in a haste, WA may not be the place for you, but remember that, get-rich-quick scams target the hasty online!

ACHIEVEMENTS

Looking back at this post, one can correct a lot in terms of summarising, paragraphing, etc.

This write up expressed some of the progress made and challenges faced. To add to these I am including the following achievements so far at WA:

1. My website is up and running, though still raw:

2. I have a domain with Godaddy which is connected to my siterubix.com website. I was forced to do this because sitedomains at WA could not process my transaction. I hope WA support does something to solve this issue.

3 I have published 7 articles in all though wondering of their worth. You can help me with comments at www.selling4them.

DIFFICULTIES

1. The inability to pay for a domain at WA leading to inability to own a professional email address for my website

2. Having had to spend more at Godaddy for a domain

3. I had to switch to the Bootcamp training due to the inability to buy a domain at WA.

In a way, this have me the experience that its good to do all the trainings at WA.

THE WAY FORWARD

I plan to buy another domain at WA soon in order to avoid the extra experiences to activate a domain when it is transferred. This will help me spend less and have my own professional email.

I plan to go through as many lessons as possible before my premium expires for the first month. The next subscription is my great challenging. I am looking for ways to raise the money for that.

I am also looking forward to attracting referrals to make my targeted 100.

I hope I did not just waste your time with this blog post. I need your critical comments.

Thanks.
