Plugging a way by plugging away

So as many of you know I was pretty new to online marketing and even more green at web development when I joined Wealthy Affiliate. In my short time here I have come to learn two major things. One that there is a method to making money online, it's not all lightning strikes and happen stance viral content or even that one guy we know making a killing drop shipping items on Amazon. WA and the people in the community (thank you all I have learned from, bothered with my questions, or have been

How does an Affiliate Marketer Juggle?

How do successful internet marketers manage more than one site? Is that the smart thing to do.. spread your opportunities across different sectors or try to find ways to maximize the one site you have? These are the questions I am struggling with now. I have one site built and I am in the process of creating ancillary content that I can use as a free giveaway for signing up to my email list. i've learned that it takes focused consistent energy to keep the content fresh, useful, and relevant

Made the investment..... laid a plank in the platform of success

Just wanted to drop a short note to say the I........... Just went yearly! With the Black Friday pricing that was something I couldn't pass up. I saw the offer email when it was first sent out and like most things I pondered and considered and pondered and considered. But then it hit me..... was I planning on being in the WA community in 2015? Did I see value in the service? Did I think having this support both technical and communal was important? Do I want my online biz to thrive and ea

Where do we go from here?

So I have my basics setup for my site, traffic is slowly but steadily picking up, but where to go from here? Of course blog more, create more useful content but I feel like that will be just treading water. On top of improving my keyword research and content creation skills, I think next I am going to develop a short ebook focused around my healthy juicing for kids niche. I've gone on Fiverr (great site, definitely check it out if you haven't already) and looked at some quotes for creating s

Finally have the infrastructure built (I think) now to drive more traffic​

Well I think I finally have my site's infrastructure in place http://healthyjuicingforkids.com. Google Plus page, site map submitted, Auto post to Twitter and Facebook, Mailchimp widget, popup to drive email sign up, free giveaway for email sign up, content posting schedule.... I think I have the basics set up. Keyword "I think". Now for the exciting aka fun aka probably somewhat frustrating part and that's finding interesting ways to drive traffic. If a blog makes a post and no one reads it

Quick find.. wanted to share right quick​

I'm getting into my day knocking out some admin and stuff. The first thing on my to do list today was to test this popup plugin that sounded pretty good. I wasn't happy with the one I had installed at first. Building a list can be a good way to continue to be useful to your users and to get the most value out of your visitors. A popup to encourage visitors to join my email list seemed like a good idea. Well I found a pretty good plugin and I wanted to share it with you'll right quick just

Review.. Reset... Reload

As some of you know I have been in the WA community for about a month now and I definitely have learned a lot. With learning comes the need to review, reset, and reload. When I first started this process I had no idea what to expect. I though no problem I'll just blog in the morning... easy as pie. Well that method doesn't really work for me. In order to create quality content it takes a little more time. Also, something is bound to come up if not just me feeling like being a little lazy.

Ranking on 1st page on Bing... Next up Google!

So I'm doing my normal work doing the day and there seemed to be a problem with Google. I tried different options but to no luck so I tried Bing so I could finish my project for a client. Anyways, long story short I decided to see what happens when I put the keyword phrase that I am targeting into Bing. Surprise Surprise.... My site is ranking on the first page, the fourth result on the 1st page at that. Next up is Google (hopefully), not sure why there is a difference but the Bing ranking s

30 Days In... Loving the community, learning process, and empowerment

Wow... 30 days as part of the WA community already. That time flew. Probably because I was learning so much and each day seemed like an adventure to see how I could make my site better. Well needless to say I have learned so much here and the community has been super helpful and supportive. Whether it is just encouraging words or being there for me to bounce an idea off of when I am over thinking things. Hopefully I will grow as much in the next 30 days as I did the first 30. I have most o

Picking up steam.... Learning so much​

Picking up steam.... Learning so much. It hasn't quite been a month since I joined WA, but so far it has been great and I have learned a bunch! Have my site up, Facebook page built, set up a blog schedule that works for me and is consistent, tweeting more, and building traffic. Being an Online Entrepreneur isn't a quick fix, but it is something where you can make progress daily. Enough battle victories and soon you have won the war. It is obvious to me that success here will take me being
