Thinking back to when I first joined Wealthy Affiliate, it's kind of funny how I joined something that's literally became part of my everyday life, sort of by accident.

It was curiosity that brought me here. I simply wanted to learn how people were able to earn money by having a website. Or if being able to earn money through a website was a thing at all.

I was hooked.

At the time I joined WA, I must have signed up for a dozen of other online "opportunities".

I have to admit, some of the others seemed more appealing. They promised fast riches, minimal work, and a cozy lifestyle.

At the time I didn't have any extra money to spare otherwise I may have bought into one of the get rich quick programs described above.

Wealthy Affiliate on the other hand allows us to participate in the early lessons for free and a chance to engage directly with other members. Not to mention, is very transparent about the work ahead and expectations to earning a regular income from home.

Anyways, once I started the training inside WA, I was completely hooked. It was exciting to be able to create my own actual website, most of everything in the training was clear and made sense.

It was only a matter of absorbing the information being taught in the lesson, and then following the tasks given to you at the end of each lesson. That's it!

(If something is not understood or you need help while going through the training, just ask! Hop into Live Chat or message someone who looks like they know what they are doing, lol).

Each month has gotten better, oddly...

In terms of earnings, each month has gotten better.

I threw in the "oddly" part because to be quite honest, I haven't been as active with my personal website/online business. I have a lot of time to commit to my business but have been lazy - brutal honesty....

For example, I have written more Posts on my website in the month of February than I did in the previous 3 months.

Earning passive income is something new for me, but the trip out to Las Vegas to meet Kyle and Carson and the other WA members was the motivation I needed!

Keep active!

I don't know where you are with your online business but I do suggest that you keep active and to take your business seriously! Though I have seen a slight increase in earnings month to month, I know I could be much further along.

I remember what it was like not long ago, wondering if my efforts will ever pay off....

It personally took me a combined 9 months to earn my first $61. (I've had friends laugh after sharing this with them).

9 months later, I earned nearly $4,000 in a single month. ($3957.59 to be exact. Not so funny).

If you haven't started the training, what's holding you back?

Once you get going, trust in what it is you are learning and doing. Work hard and be persistent. Wealthy Affiliate as a service has completely exceeded my expectations and I know it can and will for you too.
