What to do?
Hi Was,
Hope everyone is doing well and working towards their goals.
At least, hopefully doing better than me. I'm saying this because I feel deflated. And here is the reason.
I started on Tuesday with the training and yesterday I managed to write the About Me page. The website is not done yet (done only what was on the training). Being the first attempt at writing something, I wanted badly someone tells me if what I wrote there made any sense.
By nature, I would ask and criticize myself over the smallest thing. Going online blogging is a bit scary. Questions like: is it good enough, would anyone read, does it make sense, etc., keep bouncing in my head at a high speed.
I couldn't get any feedback (starter membership) by asking the community. Probably it is not a big deal but, for me it is important. Not having anything to do with writing before, not technical and/or marketing skills are things that might hinder the development of the project or most probably intimidate the start of it.
Anyway, enough rambling. I put the link below. May be, someone will be so good and take a minute to read and tells me if I should stop being a dreamy or I should go for premium membership. It needs to be tomorrow (if I go for it) for the benefit of the first month discount.
Thank you and all the best to you,
Keti
P.S I had to add minimum 2 tags. Sorry, if it is inconvenient for whom I did.

The About Me page is supposed to be primarily about You.
What you have written is about your Niche and not really about the journey that brought you to Wealthy Affiliate.
This is just my opinion so you don't have to pay the slightest heed to it.
Enjoy your Thursday.

Hi Robert,
Thank you for taking the time to read and leave the comment.
I din't take your advice of not 'paying the slightest heed' and went straight to my site (well, sort of; it is an intention to be a site) and had a look.
The main reason to post, was to get the feedback regarding the perception/message taken from what I wrote. Of course, I pay attention and feel grateful.
My intention was to talk about the factors leading and contributing to my start and development as a massage therapist.
I will rethink and go over (probably few times) when I'll have a clearer head (a bit overwhelmed now).
Thanks again!
Keti
No probs Keti.
Its just my opinion but why not leave the factors leading and contributing to your start and development as a massage therapist for your reviews of products.
This way your authority on the subject and your expertise will come across in those articles and that way trust will develop and that is important.
Enjoy your Friday.
Robert
Keti, I hope that you will take advantage of the first month discount.
If you give WA a chance, I predict that the people in the community will you help you to start building your confidence up. That is what you seem to be lacking the most right now.
You have the dream. I hope you will give yourself at least one month to work on making it come true. The more your write, the more comfortable you will become with writing. If you do not sign up for one month of membership, you will never know what you might have accomplished. If you don't like it, you can end your membership. Follow your heart.

Thanks for your comment, Sondra
My confidence will come when I'll see the proof (at least partially), that I'm not dreaming the impossible. I am aware that not everyone can do everything.
I'll give it a try for one month, see how does it go and take from there.
Best wishes,
Keti
Well, I am back, with that About me page I really want to read more from you. I don't doubt that you will make a wonderful website, helping so many people.
Don't worry too much. Everything you do you can change later, I had to learn that, because like you, all this was very far from me.
Wishing you a good decision,
N with a smile
Hi Anne,
That "I really want to read more from you" means a lot to me.
Thank you very much for taking the time.
I'll give it a try.
I've done quite few things in different areas but, never writing (I'm glad no one can see me typing...)
The warmest wishes,
Keti
Hello Keti,
I really understand you. Believe me, it will get better and better. The benefits are beyond any imagination. Would you read the following : Survival Camp during Starter life And get in touch again. You are not alone. It is late now, but I will go to your page as soon as possible.
Kindly,
Anne
Keti you have so much to offer, such a wealth of experience in this niche, I can see you becoming quite the online guru for massage :)
Your About Me page is great, it instills confidence that you know what your talking about and is very personable.
I really hope you will go Premium and take everything WA has to offer because I believe you could do very well in this niche.
You are very kind, Heidi.
I'll give it a try.
You are right. I know a lot about massage (Theory and Practice). I have quite few ideas. The main problem is, I don't know how to put in practice my ideas. Hopefully I'll find out.
Thank you and best wishes!
Keti
You did an awesome job on your About Me Page! Don't beat yourself up and don't try to be perfect. Your grammar is not perfect, but neither is most peoples here. You should be very proud of yourself and just keep on with the training, on step at a time.
If you ever need anything at all, feel free tp PM me.
Best of luck!
Thank you, Curtis
Your supportive feedback means a lot.
Yes, you are right, I'm a bit of a perfectionist. English not being my first language seams an obstacle for me. Hopefully I'll get where I want by learning how to 'jump over the hurdles'.
Cheers,
Keti
Hi Keti
I really feel you should go premium as this will open all the doors to growing your business.
Your theme is currently a little unemotional with black and red and premium will give you over 3000 themes some of which are truly gorgeous and would suit your business much more.
Also, you will get all the training offered within WA and this will set you up for the future.
I went premium after 2 days and love everything WA offers us
There are literally answers to every question, live chat and of course the amazing community so go for it :)
All the best Keti
Vicki
Thank you for taking the time Vicki,
Probably I'll bite the bullet and go for it.
I want it but, my struggles are endless. As I mentioned in my post having nothing to do with writing and on top of it English being not the first language...
Thanks for encouragement, I'll give it a try
Keti
Hi Keti. First thing I want to say is, you are not alone!
I too had those thoughts when I had just started here. Still think that way once in a while. (If you want, you can read my blogs, they have described how I felt and how I overcome all the negative thinkings. )
Everyone starts somewhere. Nobody was born with full of knowledge.
The training here is great. You will be fine. Just keep going. Follow the training step by step.
I've read your "about" page. Looks good.
Once you start, along the way, you will find more confidence.
Don't doubt yourself. Never give up. You can do it!
Wishing you all the best!
Amy
Thank you, Amy!
Feels good to know I'm not alone (not that I want people to struggle like me).
I'll take the advantage of the first month discount and see how does it go,
All the best to you, Amy!
Keti
You are welcome, Keti.
I think you really should go for it. I have only been here two months but I have learned so much.
WA is not only for building up a business. There are so much more advantages and benefits we can get
In the beginning, you may feel a little overwhelmed, but soon you will see big progress.
If you have any question, people here at WA will more then happy to help you.
Good luck and take care. : )
