New Member - Feeling Overwhelmed

Am I the only one?

I signed up at WA late December. I was very excited when I started the training. Everything sounded promising and the training modules were very easy to understand. Today however, I am feeling overwhelmed.

Rank at WA

First, I can't help but notice that my ranking here at WA keeps going down. My network is not building, it's depressing to see. I feel I am working as hard as I can to get the hang of things but I feel I just cannot keep up. I have been spending at least a couple hours a day on my training and website and at least 5 hours on weekends. I figured since I only have limited available time that I'd focus more on finishing the training and building my website. I know you earn credits when you post, comment, produce training materials, etc. But I just don't see how can someone new like me is able to juggle, trying to find the niche, understanding target customers, building a rich content website and at the same time, comment and do training here in WA as well. I know people in this community are great helpful people but I am wondering how others are able to do it and not me?

Ask and Offer Website Feedback

Okay my website is up but I am not comfortable sharing it to the public yet as to me it is not a "customer ready" website yet. I don't have enough information in there and I definitely don't have at least 1000 words in the blog and it is definitely not keyword rich content. I wanted to offer website feedback so I could check off this checklist. So I went to the page but again, I just ended up looking like this, completely blank. I just could not put together a helpful enough feedback other than the general "it looks great". Another failure on my side!
