Crawl...Walk....Run
I arrived at Wealthy Affiliate in September 2013. My first stage as a premium member was to crawl through the maze of training, tutorials, discussions and courses.
A little intimidated by the depth of information, I began the "Get Started Here' courses, seemed like the best place to begin.
The courses were amazing, I was even able to build my website. This was a first for me and I was so excited. I took a niche (golfing), narrowed down what I specifically wanted to write on and I was in business!
My crawling lasted for a while, needed to overcome my shyness in the social arena and learn how to write friendly articles. This stage lasted 2 months.
Stage 2: I am walking and holding on to the community's support. I have now advanced to the Affiliate Bootcamp.
Two websites have been created and each day I write a new post. My confidence is growing, asking questions, getting involved with discussions and paying it forward to another member who needs help, are all becoming easier
ALL OF THIS IS DUE TO WEALTHY AFFILIATES!
i finished the year out building my ranking, selecting low competitive keywords and unfortunately, still working on my comfort zone with social media.
Stage 3: January 2014. My pace has picked up, I am running to my desk every morning, with a big smile and a cup of tea.
I made the decision to take advantage of the annual membership discount and became a committed premium member.
The rewards from my 2014 resolution are arriving everyday!
Here are just a few:
- more clicks to my websites
- more comments
- increased conversions
- more activity with my affiliate marketing
The positive energy within WA has gotten me through these stages. There have been high days and low days. The frustration, moments of tears and confusion still appear, but I always pick myself up and keep going.
My heartfelt thanks to the WA community, Kyle and Carson for making all of this possible.
My goal for 2014: Las Vegas here I come!

This is so awesome Jan!
I am glad to see that Wealthy Affiliate is working out for you and you are starting to see some results from your hard work. The best thing ever about this is that once it starts to pay off it will continue to pay you for months and sometimes years from now. I look forward to seeing you in Vegas next year so keep up the great work you are doing.

Pretty fast metamorphosis! Although at one stage you turned into a light bulb :)
Great that you are keeping on track!
Best in 2014 and forward!
Yes, the light bulb was suppose to mean the light came on. Still trying to learn about images. Thanks for responding.
What a great analogy. I felt like the baby and then the walking toddler, but I just started my sites today and I am back to the baby stage. Your post is a much needed inspiration tonight. Thank you!
There are days when I am only making baby steps, but I keep moving forward. Thanks for responding.
