Progress so far
Hi, WA family!
I am on the last lesson in Course 2, so I'm here to share my progress with you all up to this point :)
Since joining Wealthy Affiliate on June 3, I have...
- Found a niche that I'm passionate about (cruelty-free makeup!)
- Upgraded to a Premium account
- Created my website, http://cosmeticallyconscious.com/
- Progressed through two courses on WA
- Created several blog posts using keywords, with plenty more content in the works
- Connected with many of you on Google + (But not all of you! Here's my account: https://plus.google.com/u/0/114418012499379800796)
- Done a lot of research into my niche, and made a plan for future research
- Showed my website to my family :)
I haven't had any "financial success" yet, but I'm proud of several things I've accomplished. One, I created a blog that I think looks really pretty (and that I've taken many of my own pictures for).
Two, I worked through some frustrating problems with my website, in large part because of all of you! When I couldn't figure something out based on Kyle's videos, I turned to you with my questions. Thank you for that.
Three, I persevered even when I lost motivation. I took about 3 weeks off at one point to spend time with my family, and by the end of those three weeks, I very seriously considered just walking away. I do my best work when I'm motivated, and after taking a long break like that, I just didn't wanna think about it anymore. I thought things like, "I probably won't even be successful anyway. Why waste so much time in something that may not even work?" But when I thought about the blog I'd created and how much it meant to me, I decided that I'd keep going even if I never made any money off of it. After making that decision, the strangest thing happened - I was suddenly motivated again. Crazy, right?
My plans for the next three months include making my first sale, continuing to create high-quality content, building a reader base, and researching more within my niche.
I can't thank you all enough for sharing your successes, your wisdom, your websites, your comments, your feedback, and yourselves. I love being part of this community!

Hi Kailey!
Great post!
I love your domain name and you have come very far in a very short period of time.
I think you have a very good niche that you are going to be able to establish yourself as an authority and eventually you will build traffic and sales.
Congratulations on your progress so far!
Find what motivates you and write it down, so that the next time you lose your motivation, you can go back and get motivated again!
Best,
JV
Congratulations on making great progress Kailey!
