My name is Karen and I live in beautiful New Zealand!
4/5/19 Update:
Unbelievably I'm still on track with my weightloss goals. I've now lost 14kgs and am sooooo close to my final goal weight. The crazy thing is the amount of clothes in my wardrobe that no longer fit. Fortunately as my online business activities are starting to pay off and I've managed to book a flight up to Wellington for some much needed retail therapy!
My website overhaul is going well - I've managed to get some fresh content up since I last updated this and I LOVE this community with the 'give and take' mindset for all the wonderful comments left on my new posts. Thank you!!
16/4/19 Update:
Thirteen weeks into my wellbeing and weightloss challenge and still going strong. I've managed to lose 12.5kgs and am motivated to get those last few kgs off. But what's even more awesome than that, is that one of my first clients that I introduced to this product has also reached her goal weight. It's so rewarding to be able to do this for my own health, but also help others improve theirs.
On another note, I'm completely overhauling my personal website kdforsman.com, so feel free to check it out and any constructive feedback is most welcome :)
24/2/19 Update:
Day 40 of my Wellbeing & Weight loss challenge and I've never felt better! OMG, and 8.4kg lighter! I'm well and truly on track to achieve my weight loss goals, which is amazing. As for my online 'empire' ... it's all starting to fall into place and I'm finally starting to see decent $$ rolling in. Wealth Affiliate Rocks!! But it's also about finding a niche that you are passionate about .
Happy to share my personal experiences with you if you're interested, just flick me a message or drop me a comment below. #AskMeHow #YouCanDoItToo
28/1/19 Update:
2019 is my year for TRANSFORMATIONAL PERSONAL CHANGE.
Yip, it's time to take true ownership of my health and well-being, get off the couch, get back into shape and be the BEST VERSION OF ME, for ME and my FAMILY. I'd love your support in this journey & invite you to check out my progress on Facebook @KazOnAMission
Whatever your affiliate marketing aspirations are, I wish you every success for the year ahead.
Cheers, Karen
*****
Writing has always been a passion for me. I wrote my first fiction novel a couple of years ago and I’ve always been a keen blogger & social media marketeer. Over the years my career has been loosely aligned to my interests – everything from music, horses, marketing & sales, business development, training manager, and most recently, project managing the operational aspects of an industry database and a large team of staff & sub-contractors.
In 2016, it hit me, I'd lost my passion for my 'day job' (I'd always been very career minded, so this was a tough pill to swallow), but it was time for the big question; Where to from here?
After much angst, discussion and debate, my husband and I agreed to embark on a complete change of direction, career and a brand new adventure. We packed our bags, and sold our home in the suburbs, leaving behind the safety net of our salary paid jobs, to purchase a boutique accommodation business on the sparsely populated West Coast of the South Island.
To say motel ownership has been a whole new learning curve, is a complete understatement! But I’m pleased to say that making the change has been the right decision for us. We are both enjoying a more stress free lifestyle, no more being stuck in traffic and the constraints of a 9-5 job, and for me personally, a whole lot more time to focus on my writing and building up a sustainable income online.
Affiliate Marketing has always held a lot of interest for me. However, as I’m sure you’re aware, there’s so much ‘noise’ and competition in this space, it’s really hard to see what actually works and what’s a load of hot air and hype. This can result in a lot of time spent for very little result. If you’re anything like me, your time is precious!
Wealthy Affiliate has already delivered more than I had expected it to. Not only from earnings point of view, but also because of all the invaluable training available and the new knowledge I'm gaining. Also, through premium, I have been able to build multiple websites for the one low annual fee.
In fact, I've already built our motel website here on Wealthy Affiliates and it's indexed and ranking well on google, which we’ve achieved through applying the training. If you are ever planning a trip to New Zealand, be sure to look us up!
Anyway, that's a bit about me, I'd love to hear from you, so drop me a note below. Looking forward to connecting with like minded peeps and learning from this amazing community.
Best wishes,
Karen

Hi Karen
Hope the year has started well for you - I was thinking of you and your business during the recent West coast flooding - hope you escaped all of that. I have been absent from WA for some months but expect to be a bit more active before long - still waiting to make my first dollar, but hope springs eternal.
We could be travelling in the South Island later this year, so will touch base if we are nearby.
Cheers
Rod

Hi Rod, thanks for the contact... We managed to come through the bad weather unscathed as it was further South than us. In fact we're having a balmy Easter here - the sun has been shining and the lodge is full... things are going great!. Please do call in - or even stay if you're coming our way. (book direct not on booking.com as we can give you a better rate :) )

Happy 2019, Karen and thanks for the follow.
I'm impressed. I'm meeting people all over the world (I live in Spain) with common goals and like-minded.
I borrow 'it’s really hard to see what actually works and what’s a load of hot air and hype' if you don't mind.
I hate to waste time. I know my limitations which include a partial perspective of my universe. I believe that teaming up is the answer to overcome this issue.
I'm following you back.
Let's keep in touch, shall we?

I just love your bio, thanks for sharing! I recognize so well the feeling you are describing, about wanting to get out of the "rat race" (terrible word, really) but I am not quite there yet myself... I will take tiny baby steps toward my switch of career, but hey, every journey starts with one step. I will get back and read your blog posts and check out your training as well.
Just wanted to let you know that you inspired me! Thanks!

Hello Karen!
Finally I'm here to say hello to you. Wanted to connect with you since long. I just saw a beautiful video made by GailLowe - "How to live in the moment". She linked your video-tutorial on her post and I thought, now I really have to take the time to stop by at your profile and follow you.
What a brave thing to do - to break out of your life and start a totally new career. When my husband and I come to visit New Zealand, we'll come and stay at your motel! Haven't planned when, but one day we will go there.
You have accomplished great many things. I'm looking forward to watch and learn from your trainings.
Wish you continued great success.

Hi, Karen, thk you for following me. You have a very interesting story on your bio, it is a rare thing nowadays to read about positive changes in people's life that actually sound 'real' - with so much noise on the net, they usually sound phony even when they're true. Also, New Zealand is a dream to come true to me, so that about you caught my eye right away ;-)
What is your novel about?
Hope to hearing from you soon.

Hi there, my novel is a 'family saga' based on the antics of a horse racing family in New Zealand. Complete fiction of course! ;)
It's called Fraud & Fabrication if you feel like checking it out on Amazon.
Ps. thanks so much for your feedback about my journey to date. It's been a pretty crazy ride so far, but the change of career has been the right one for me and I'm finally in a position to focus on my dream of building an successful online business which is very exciting.
All the best for your online adventures!

Hi Karen, as a former Kiwi now living in Oz I would like to keep in touch.
What is the township you live in? Nth Is or Sth?
I lived in Lower Hutt/Wellington moved to Wanganui, married and went to live under Mount Ruapehu - Oakune as my husband & I bought a couple of taxis and run all around the area. That was fun.
We finally decided to move to where there was more opportunities.
First stop Sydney for 30 or so years, moving to sunny Queensland
near Mooloobar/Maroochydore.
Hope this isn't too much information lol
Cheers Jae ♥

You have gone from warm to cold haven't you? I've been down that way in my youth. It was pretty rugged at that time. Spent a night on the side of a hill, the only thing stopping me from sliding down was a tree. Car breakdown. What you do when you're young. What an adventure.

Thank you for the follow. I have followed you back. It is good to connect with you as I studied at New Zealand. New Zealand is a beautiful country and would love to come visit again at some point. I studied at the University of Auckland and I loved it. Currently, I am working on mywebsite to promote going green and going solar. You can check my profile for more details. Thanks again.

Thank you Karen, for the honor of including me in your network! I see your accomplishments and so look forward to the day that I have attained the goals I've set. I'm sure you continue to set goals but at the outset it sounds like quite an idealistic life!
I am truly an artist and writer at heart, but have allowed my burning flame of creativity to be tamed by a "responsible career". But look at me now, stepping out on that precipice of opportunity! I cannot wait to see where this path takes me.
You are an inspiration to my dreams. I thank you for the chance to share in what you've created, while I strive onward to what will become for me. Good on you Karen and bless your heart!
I have always wanted to visit New Zealand but haven't made it there yet - one day! However, I work with a Kiwi (Lynaire), a seriously fun gal who apparently grew up distant of civilization. She tells a cute story of the first trip her family took to town. They had never seen a department store and stood in the elevator for about 10-15 minutes waiting for it to take them up while the doors opened and closed, opened and closed. Finally a kind soul pressed the second floor button for them. :)
Okay, I've gone on enough, I really should get back to writing my quality and relevant content. lol It's great to make your acquaintance and I look forward to more positive interaction here in the WA community. . .and maybe someday in NZ!! Who knows?

You have an impressive bio my friend. I will visit your websites and leave comments in them. If you check my profile you will read a little about me and you can see the URL of my first website on organic gardening. It does not have too much content yet as my modem was hacked and I was offline for over two months out of four months at WA. My second website is one week old and needs even more content.

And thanks very much for visiting my websites and leaving comments. I did have to edit them as they read more like feedback not comments, but I just deleted the bits that weren't relevant. Hope you don't mind. If you search here on what the difference is between comments and feedback, it will help if you ever write comments for other members. But thanks so much for doing this, I really appreciate it.
All the very best for your affiliate journey, I wish you every success.

Hi!
Thanks for the follow and I'm following you back :)
Nice to see that your living in NZ, I always wanted to go there!
It's very inspiring to hear about your change in your life and work because I can relate to that myself.
I had a look at your websites (kdforsman and paidblogjobs) and they looked very nice and clean! I also did a comment on your review of "JournalismJobs".
Wish you all luck here at WA!

Thanks Karen for your connection especially from across the ditch.
We moved from Brisbane to get away from the humidity because of my wife's heart failure. It good to get out of the rat race.
We are retired to Tenterfield up on the range and south by 4 hours in the bush town.
I will go through your sites and see what I can do to help you. I do blogs about being positive with health and wealth.
Thanks for your time, Tom.

Hi Renu, thanks so much for your lovely feedback. I know what you mean though about writing the about me page, it's hard isn't it! I think if you can pull out a few personal things about your life or career etc that can relate back to why you are passionate about your niche you can't go wrong. Even if your niche is personally interesting to you because you're having to solve those problems in your own life - the more you can relate yours own story to what you are writing about, the better. People like to know the person behind the keyboard! All the very best for your online adventures! Cheers, Karen

Great to meet a fellow KIWI.... love your profile and thanks for the contact. You REALLY have been busy with WA.... quite an act to follow!
I'm domiciled at beautiful Waikanae Beach on the Kapiti Coast, 55km North of Wellington. I found this site earlier in the week and have fallen for it straight away.
You sound like a beautiful person and I would like to keep in touch as we build the business. My lovely partner is Karen as well and we are trying to move into early retirement so we can increase our travelling. We made it to the top of the South Island in March this year with the intention of seeing some of the West Coast but never got past Blenheim, Nelson and Golden Bay.... maybe next time,,,, and I'll make sure Omau is a stopover!!
Kind regards

Hi there again, maybe you can help
I just finished my purchase cycle training and will post shortly. I would like to know at what stage do I join affiliate marketing suppliers like Amazon. This will be my second post on hardcoresportsequipment.net I chose to start with boxing as the big fight is coming up and I do boxing as a Cardio Workout. I will review some gloves and compare some prices.
But should I not at this stage have joined affiliate programs and add links if indeed I start getting traffic?

Hi there Morne, If you follow the training on here, you will see that adding affiliate links comes much later down the track, as the focus needs to be on building out the content on your website. However, I do understand that you are trying to get your site ready and indexed before the big fight, so I guess that there's no harm in starting to add affiliate links. Amazon may cancel your associate access if you don't achieve a sale within a certain time period, so it may be worth investigating other options. Here's my top ten list for beginner affiliates - FlexOffers could be a good option for you as you can view their entire product/advertiser directory before you sign up, to see if any of their products are suitable. http://writingforcash.com/the-top-10-affiliate-programs-of-2017-for-beginners Hope that helps, Cheers, Karen

Welcome on WA, I hope you'll enjoy your journey here.
Where on the west coast do you have your motel?
I'm a big fan of your country. Sadly enough it's been 16 years, the last time I've been there. It's for me the fartest distance to travel in the world.
And it's a big goal of mine to go back.
I followed the America's Cup to see the Kiwi's bring it back home! Because the last time they won it, I was in NZ feeling the buzz live

Hey Karen,
I'm following you back after taking the time to read your profile. Nice to see how you made your life better by taking a not easy but right decision.
I would love to visit New Zealand one day and think about it for several years... almost did it when I was in Australia, but I lacked in time and money at the time...
So I will remember that I know an address there which seems really nice! I just took a quick look at your website and it's even better than I expected! :)
When I'll have enough success to travel again... ;)
+ I love surfing and would like to develop something around it: I hope it could help me to travel in the future.
All the best to you!

As you state the training and knowledge achieved through WA.
And the ongoing posts from fellow WA members keeping us up to date. I thought I knew a bit about the internet before I joined WA but I realise now how little I knew and how fast the internet moves on a daily basis.
I spent a bit of time in NZ on the North Island in a little place called Opunake. A great little town away from the rat race.

Oh really? That is wonderful.. Two days kind of short although Singapore is just a little red dot. You will be amazed at the cleaniness, orderly, efficiency, safety, etc.....Most first time visitors to Singapore are wow with the world class airport.
Peeps are friendly, majority speak english (and singlish) . For two days, you can visit Orchard Road, perhaps take a cable car to Sentosa, visit the Marina Bay Sand where millionaires are made..err, rather folks who lose their fortunes...
Yes, you heard right, one can easily ride the tube (MRT) right to the door step! So ride the public transport to soak in the atmosphere
you can check the ducky tour to hop on the open top bus and catch the city although it might get a little warm..(June July being the hottest months of the year)
now, if you happen to visit Newton Hawker center, (popular with tourists) check the prices (ie seafood ) LOL Among other places you can visit are Chinatown, Little India, Raffles Place (business CBD)
I'm beigining to sound like a tourist guide :)
Enjoy yourself and Happy Stay in Singapore.

Thanks Steve,
yes, we're only there for a two night stopover on our way to Phuket. By all accounts, I believe it's going to be a trip of two halves, with Singapore being pristine and clean and Phuket being somewhat opposite?
Either way, with winter now here in NZ, it will be nice to head somewhere warm for a bit of down time!
By the way, if things don't work out with your online business, I reckon you'd make a great tourist guide!
All the best, Karen :)

Thank you Karen for the follow and many blessings to you here at WA. As a Premium Member you are probably aware of the AWESOME and FREE WA Keyword Tool we have unlimited access to.
This is the keyword research tool I have used exclusively after I became a Premium member 3+ years ago and it has helped me many times to find awesome keywords that have led to Google page 1 rankings.
I created very popular WA Training Tutorials, Part 1 and Part 2, on how to use the WA Keyword Tool for keyword research. If you have not seen it and would like to learn how simple it is to use and a little about keywords, click the below link when you have the time. How to Use the WA Keyword Tool

Karen, I see you are making some good progress through the Affiliate Bootcamp. Just wanted to pop by and see if you need a hand with anything?
I also wanted to mention the success rates of Bootcamp. Absolutely everyone that has taken action on all of the phases of Bootcamp has a business that is generating consistent income online. MANY of these folks are going to be at our super affiliate conference next year.
I want this to be you and I want you to succeed with your promotions. So, please promise me that if you ever need a hand or feel stuck as you move forward, that you will get in touch with me!
Trust me, I know things can be a little overwhelming sometimes and I don't want you feeling like that.
Anyways, just checking in. Get back at me if you need anything Karen.

Excellent, I like your Getting Started page content.
One thing that I always recommend is to "show" people more within your content instead of just "telling" them. By this I mean that you should not just let them know about something, you should walk them through a process. Help them. Use screenshots or images to represent what you are talking about.
This will lead to a much more enjoyable user experience and will also lead to much higher conversions.
Besides that, you are definitely off and running here and it is just is a matter of building out your initial base of content.

Thanks for the follow - looks like you are moving in the right direction - I'm working with a new coach too and working on social branding and influence - I'll know more as I do more, ask questions here and apply what you learn - so much to do as you move forward - I've been in the hotel management a little but managed apartments two different times also.

Hi Rina, thanks for your email :)
My book is 'fraud & fabrication' and it's available for sale on amazon as an ebook or paperback. Thanks for being interested, it was a labor of love!
Take care and yes, if you're ever in New Zealand, you'll have to look us up!

Hello Karen and welcome to Wealthy Affiliate.
Since you joined and have had a look round you will have come to realize that internet marketing can be a steep learning curve.
If you do get stuck then can I suggest you browse some of the 300+ blogs I have published within WA.
You have decided to follow me and I will return the favour.
Enjoy your day.

Hi there. Thanks for following me.I am following back!
I have long wanted to visit New Zealand. Definitely on my bucket list!
How did your novel do? What an accomplishment! That's something else I have wanted to do since I was a little kid. No joke. When my friends were watching TV, playing games, or running around outside, I was at my dad's desk, writing stories.
At any rate, welcome to WA. I wish you all the best!

Hello Karen,♫Welcome! Nice to meet you ツ I wish you a lot of learning pleasure and fun on WA. Thank you for adding me to your network.
From the start, I have written training for every issue I had problems with myself. I made an addition for After The Walkthrough. Also a list of 1001 niche ideas, a checklist with 25 points to go through before you publish a post, 101 blogging ideas when you get stuck and an A-Z WA dictionary. I just love lists:) It has been very helpful to a lot of people. I have listed them in one blog you can find on my profile. It's the first website link right under “Follow me on” (click on my picture to get there). I hope to help you with those.
If you have any questions, please reply to this message or leave a comment on my profile.
Success building your business in 2017. See you around, Greetings Loes
