Coming to a standstill
Would your believe, I started this course and signed up for the premium package back in may. I had a lot of time on my hands back then, following each stage thoroughly, attending the Friday video classes, and posting my blogs. Unfortunately, I have only managed to post 17 blog posts in that time and I haven't sold a pennies worth of products. Parrtly because I do not have the free time that I had during lockdown and partly because I am so thorough with my writing that I will re-write each paragraph no less than 40 time until I feel it is right. It can't be helped, I'm a virgo.
Anyway, the course seem to be getting more and more complicated to follow and can't be demotivating, especially at the Making Money module. The guildelines on Google Adsense did not seem too convincing, so I did not want to proceed down that path, then the Google Analytics tutorial totally threw me, because step-by-guide was not as it appears when doing it in practice. Maybe it was out of date or the terminologies for my ID number used on the course are not the same, which is confusing. Nevertheless I have registered with a service I do not know how to use because I am not getting any stats from it. Either way, this is where it gets frustrating. I hope to start making some return on my investment soon.

Hi Jonathan
I think there is so much information available here at Wealthy Affiliate, that it can be overwhelming, and very recently I experienced a similar phase as you describe. I can only suggest taking a break, or perhaps proceeding more slowly through the training. And of course, ask questions as you go. I have found that option to be extremely beneficial.
Best Regards
Michael

We can appreciate your busy schedule.
It takes more than 17 posts to get significant traffic to a website. Depending upon your niche site with measure able traffic need 100 pages.
Learning how to set up Google Analytics 4 takes time. once you learn it, it goes fast but the initial set up is challenging. It does give you help in understanding what pages are being view the most and how long people stay on the page. Along with Google Search Console you get a lot of helpful information. Google search console actually gives you the query terms your website ranks for. pretty important to know.
