I Set Up Some Goals At The Beginning Of 2019 But Have I Achieved Anything?
HI AGAIN! 👋
It's been about nine months since I published my last blog post here on Wealthy Affiliate and I figured that it would be a right time to write something new. The reason why I haven't written anything to my personal WA blog is that I have been busy with my website, which is a good thing in a way, am I right?
So, I Set Up A Couple Of Goals To Myself This Year.
Read More
Work Out More
Write More Content
Give Something For The WA Community
but have I achieved any of those goals? I can happily say that, YES, I HAVE!
1. Reading 📚
Reading nonfiction books has been one of the best decisions I've ever made, and I'm not going to stop. Especially books about search engine optimization and marketing are something that I believe all WA members should take a look at if you want to get another perspective other than the WA training. I admit it, the training on this website is excellent, and the guys behind WA clearly know what they are doing, but there are also other people out there who own successful online businesses, and you shouldn't move them out of your way.
Do Yourself A Favor And Start To Master SEO!
There are a couple of books I've recently read that have been more than helpful to me, and I don't want to promote any products here because my sole purpose with this recommendation is to be useful to other WA users and I'm just going to mention the names of the books and their writers:
1. SEO Fitness Workbook by Jason McDonald - An absolute must-read for everyone who wants to know the basic stuff about search engine optimization!
2. The Art Of SEO by Eric Enge, Stephan Spencer and Jessie Stricchiola - This book digs more in-depth to the SEO game and I know that it's almost 1000 pages long + contains A LOT of information that isn't relevant to WA members (I'm personally thankful for that), so most of you won't even touch it, but keep in mind that SEO professionals wrote it.
NOTE: These two books have given me information about SEO that I haven't even found from the WA training, so if you want to be successful on search engines, do yourself a favor and grab yourself a copy of these two!
2. Writing More Content ✍️
I have written more content and its content that I'm proud of. Currently, I have almost 20 blog posts on my site, and the best part is that its long-form content, which (usually) according to the rules of SEO, should rank well in search engines.
Okay, I admit it, I'm not going to see results for a long time because my site is relatively new (only three months old) and as you've learned from the WA training, it usually takes a year or more for Google to trust your website.
I Do Have To Confess Something 🤫
I haven't been totally honest with you, and now I have a confession to make. The site that I started in early 2019 FAILED. I could tell you many different reasons why it was a failure, but the short version is that I didn't trust myself enough, and I set my bar too high.
It feels terrible to include something like this to a "success post," but in a way that failure lead me to the niche I'm currently at, a niche that I like, so isn't it a WIN-WIN situation in some way?
3. Work Out More 🏋️♂️
I'm also spending time in the gym, four times a week now, and the best part is that I'm genuinely enjoying it. As always with something new, the beginning was tough, but after every gym session, I feel GREAT. I'm building my physical strength, but I also have a feeling that I'm building my mental health which helps me with my online venture.
4. Help The WA Community 😰
Sorry, I have been extremely busy with my website, so there hasn't been time for the community, which is one of those things that I regret. But, I do hope that I'm able to help people with my book recommendation.
Thank you for reading. 😊
