A New Member at Wealthy Affiliate in 2024

I was asked if I was a new member at Wealthy Affiliate?

The short answer is No!

My Story

More than 15 years ago, I was searching for resource and a platform to build my own online space, a blog, to help me with my local social activism. I was fascinated by the internet's power to leapfrog barriers and connect, amplify voices, and empower people with opportunities.

I first ended up at Blogger. As you know, Blogger by Google is the original online blogging platform that started the rise of blogs and has given countless people a voice since its inception way back in the late 1990s. I also ended up writing on HubPages, but most times my content got censored. I also signed up for the free WordPress account but I wasn't satisfied.

I wanted to learn more about how I can build WordPress blogs for my interests. Thus, almost a decade ago, I arrived here at Wealthy Affiliate. A place where I can get my Domain name, they host by websites and I can learn.

I'm grateful I'm still here and still learning. Appreciate WA's great support and a thriving community. With the latest 2024 Innovation in hubs, AI-driven, keyword research tools and the mega amount of training and resources, et al, it is now better than a decade ago.

If you're a new member here at Wealth Affiliate, I'd like to provide a few tips. Hope it helps with your journey here.
