I Finally Got Smart

Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

I started this adventure on May 6, 2014. I had been seeking a way to make money online and failing everytime. I want to make a living and be able to give my boss a two week notice. I am anticipating that with great expectation.

I found Wealthy Affiliate through Nathaniell. I found his One More Cup of Coffee site and read about WA and thought it all sounded too good. I didn't do anything about it at the time...dumb! I was into another online business and discovered too late that it was a scam. I went back to Nathaniell's site and signed up. So glad I finally got smart.

I have not made any money yet, but I feel in good company with Kyle because he said he didn't make any money his first couple months or so either. But I have made some friends on here in this helpful, friendly community.

So far I have my web site purplesagewesternridinggear.com set up. It still needs lots of work and more content. I am working my way through the lessons. I'm a little slow and would like to move faster, but I have other items on the agenda I have to deal with too.

Anyway, I think the successes I've had is the fact I have the site up, I have content, pictures, and I've done the technical stuff without messing up too bad. Have had to ask a few hundred questions (ok, not that many, but a lot) through the process, but I'm doing it. The tech stuff is my biggest frustration. I have to know every click and exact step or I get lost.

I would like to be bringing in a few dollars, steady by three months and a few hundred by six months; maybe enough to have that talk with the boss.

So this is where I'm at. Looking forward to more and bigger successes. Thank you all so much for your support and friendliness and help with my issues. I can only hope to return the favor and will if I can.
