Facing my reality already in course 2, lesson 5 :(
Well, considering that, some good 6 months will pass until my webpage have any good shape, and that I have to create a lot of content, I am not a great writer and I don´t have lots of imagination, and many people will not buy from my webpage, and perhaps some other people read something on my webpage but then end up buying something similar in another webpage.... is putting me in the "doubt" area. Well, creating a good niche will make it ! Unfortunately am just a linguist, nothing interesting and for buying dictionaries people don´t need to check my website... I don´t know... It is all more difficult than I thought. Obviously this is for people who has experience with these type of things... I have never written a blog ! But, I will consider this a good course as to start becoming acquainted with this "world". I don´t think I will ever do any money on this, just by seeing how difficult all this is. Buy the time I get a small sale I might have spent over 500 dollars in this program. So I wish everybody who has the tools and the knowledge and a hobby to talk about and the right niche and the time... good luck !!! I will take this as a course which is very interesting and worth every penny. I will stay here for another few months and learn as much as I can. I would have loved reading about normal people with normal skills succeeding in this...Unfortunately nobody has written anything except for a few that are difficult to prove anything whatsoever. Many people here don´t even have a real name, and that´s make it even more difficult to rely on people who are there but really "don´t exist"... But... this is a great course and am recommending my students to check this programme if they want to learn how to create a website and try "luck" in the world of Affiliate program and content creation...

You struck an open nerve with me. You said, "I can't do it." That to me says I don't even want to try. This is what negative people say when they want to avoid something.
Let me tell you my personal story to help give you something to think about.
I work full-time in a factory lifting at most 55+ pounds sometimes 200+ a day. It sucks, plain and simple. I told myself that I would get out of the factory before my body gives out. I have to wear braces on my elbows just so I can move them the next day from inflammation. It gets about 120 degrees in the summer INSIDE the plant. No A/C at all. I hate it.
I started looking around for something to explore my writing career with. I love writing. I came across WA and took a chance just like you. Except, I looked at how I could apply this training to other fields of writing. I have a blog going finally and it already has over 100 views and it isn't even a month old yet. Small results, but results none the less.
I still have not made a dime with my website. Joined in June or July last year. Going through course 3. This is difficult for me because I want to present the best material for people. So progress is slow. But there is progress.
Even if you claim you have no imagination, that doesn't matter. Use stories from your childhood or things that happen to friends and family to get words on the site. Anything is doable unless you refuse to try.
I like to write. My wife loves to draw. She can't spell and I can't draw a very good circle. But what we do is we combine with the other to balance out our weaknesses.
Get some friends to help you with your writing skills. Carry around a small pad of paper and write in your spare time. Even better, start a wordpress blog for free.
You will have access to all the blogs under wordpress and they offer training as well for free. That alone is worth a try. Even if people hate your writing, it will improve if you practice. Nobody comes out of the womb being perfect at their art. It all takes patience and practice.
If you would like to have the address to my blog I would love to help you improve your writing skills.
Keep your head up and look to the positive things around you.
Hi Kevin, I joined not long ago. I also went through a bit of frustration in creating a website. A website has been created, but have not done anything to it. I am just enjoying reading the comments. I read it somewhere that doubts come to one who focus too much on other people's creation; and imagination is the inbuilt-creativity in all the livings. Imagination is the gift that can set one free. Maybe have a rest in thinking that other people can write better, but think instead other people are the mirror for you to look into yourself for that very thing you have been looking for. Some people get good clarity by just contemplating. Guess what = I have not written any blog yet.
Thanks... I guess I will check the videos and go step by step creating the website as an exercise. I really don´t think I will be able to monetize it since I can´t create any content. But I will be a good exercise for a few months and also some fun. See... the situation for me is to get economically better. I can´t be spending money every month just to learn about something that works for others. But for now it is ok. Thanks for the reply.
Everything has a virbration - even your thought and feeling - I heard it spoken somewhere. Have you ever thought of finding a new niche that corespondent with your positive feeling? At the moment you are feeling down because your focus may on money and not the niche itself. Maybe find a niche that make you happy rather than money. When one is happy - he/she forget unhappy situation. I go through this cycle too, but each time I learn something news. I hope we slowly enjoy happier discoveries in life. I am no expert in this, but justI am just trying to cheer you up.
Everyone starts somewhere Luis and as you gain more and more experience, you'll find this business becomes easier. Don't seek perfection or look for the "it can't work" mentality. I'm here to tell you after years of failure, it won't help. What will help is keeping an open mind and continuing forward.
Yes I know... I am just looking at other people´s websites and they really know how to work on them... seems they have experience... I will never get as good as they are... and selling good ?... I guess it is more difficult that I though... I will try this a few more months as a course, I know from now it won´t work for me...For people who love writing and convincing people into buying stuff this is great business.... I don´t even know how to shape my naked site... anyway... was good meeting you though...

.As far as I can see, this is a perfect blog:)
What I do, I google the subject I want to write about. I look for particularly for well known famous websites. p.e. government/TVnews/universities/agencies etcetc.
I read 12 posts about it, taking notes, and get 3 highlights outof every post. That makes 36 paragraphs, combine a few, and write the article in your own words. Hope to help you a bit with this
And then, you can start a site promoting WA, lots to write about.
I am running a website with teaching how to write a website on it, I blog about that. You can blog about students additional incomes, or how about 65 and not yet ready for retirement?
Have you look at the sites of colleagues yet?

(and after you come in you can change one time your name, I did, and here on my site everywhere I look there is "Loes" but newbies all say "eimhier" so that didnot work to well:)
Success Loes
Thanks. I will definitely recommend people to this program, only because it is a great tool for those who want to learn a good way to create a website and how to go step by step from scratch. I can not tell people they will make lots of money and achieve freedom from their 9 to 5 at work because I will be lying to them. As far as I can see, nobody here is doing a big amount of money and definitely nothing in the first 12 months besides the founders, who have created this fantastic program and teaching method. I repeat it is a program that is worth every penny and I will stay here at least one more month to learn a bit more about websites. But I can not tell people to join because they will get rich... I will be lying ! Thanks a lot for your tips !!! Appreciate it !
I do not tell people either they will get rich, I tell them they get a terrific education:) probably that's the reason I do not have any referrals yet:) But I am convinced they will come in time, and for now I a having the time of my life:) Never learned so much new stuff in so short notice, and in about two or three years I am going into the market of website development for other business owners:) I'm working for knowledge for my future, greetings Loes
Hi Kevin. I like your post. I somehow feel the same, but I take it as a part of journey in life. As for being rich - I consider myself already rich because I am alive. You view is realistic, but I will miss you if you leave in one month
