Thank you, Zed!

I am in the process of trying to get back in the swing of things following some medical issues in late 2017. Taking things slow and easy!

Godspeed!

You are welcome, and thank you for following me back! I love it here at WA! Best wishes to you!

Thank you for the kind words -- I just follow my heart and my upbringing! I have definitely experienced the support of my peers here -- and looking forward to giving and receiving more as I move through the complete program!

Best wishes being sent your way!

That's fantastic! Looking forward to watching you grow! :)

Thank you for following me back! I love meeting people here, especially others who are or have dealt with autism! I have learned many of the same things from my son -- and in addition, I have learned that I am a lot stronger than I ever imagined! My niche website is about autism -- general information as well as some of my experiences. With my son, I have walked the paths of adoption, diagnosis, special education and residential care! Hopefully my site will help other parents realize that they are not alone!
Best wishes to you!

Kris

Thank you! I love the entire WA experience! Have finished the certification course and plan to start the Bootcamp soon! Best wishes to you as well!

Thank you for following me back! I am jealous -- you have lived in the two places that I have always wanted to visit: Australia and Ireland! Maybe someday!!! I love meeting new people and networking here at WA! Best wishes!

:) I loved Ireland Kristin. Being the closer of the 2 to you, you just HAVE to make a trip there. Such lovely, friendly, laid back, awesome, beautiful people.

As a word of warning ... you won't have a clue what they're saying when you first arrive lol It's like they're talking a whole new language. Definitely not English. Then, just when you get used to the twang, you'll arrive in county Donegal and think you've arrived in another country altogether. It's all so beautiful.

Best wishes to you too :)

Thank you for the information! Although my ancestry is a mixed bag (as is the case for many in the US), I do have some Irish blood in me -- therefore my interest! My boyfriend, who is a retired Army combat veteran, has been there as well as many other places. He is 3/4 Italian so insists I need to go to Italy -- I told him only if we go to Ireland as well! LOL

My interest in Australia stems from childhood -- for some reason that country has always fascinated me! I think it might be the kangaroos and koalas! LOL

Have a great day!

Thank you for the kind words, Anthon! I have always been a helper in nature and I love to write, so I attribute my ranking here to those two things! My website is still fairly new so not making money yet, but headed in the right direction! My advice is to stick with it, get involved in the WA community and ask questions when you need to! Best wishes!

KTurman,

"if" was intended to be "of"

DRL

Thank you for the advice! I am working to build my traffic, so I will definitely check that out! I love meeting new people here so I can learn from them! Hope you have having a great weekend!

Dear KTurman1,

Thank you for your response.

DRL

LOL My boyfriend and I also have 2 rescue dogs! So even more in common! Thank you for the kind words -- I love networking with people here! Best wishes and we will definitely keep in touch!

Thank you! I have completed the first courses of the Certification Training and plan to start working through the Bootcamp program in about 3 weeks (once the grandkids are back in school). I love it here! Best wishes!

I love both the training and the people here at WA! And am looking to learn as much as I can from as many people as possible! Best wishes to you as well!

Thank you very much! I am very happy and blessed to have found this community! Blessings to you as well!

Thank you so very much, Kristin-William

I will definitely visit your site. My site is autismparentingtoday.com. And thank you for the wish for success...I hope the same for you!

I would be happy to check out your website. Thank you for the wonderful message!

Thank you for following me back! I love networking with the people here -- I figure the more people in my network, the more people I have to learn from! Sounds like we have some common interests -- maybe we can help each other out in more ways than one! Best wishes!

Hello K,

I would really appreciate any mentoring you would like to provide. If I can help in way I would feel privileged to do So!

Valerie

I have definitely found that to be true in the time that I have been here! Thank you for following me back! And best wishes!

Thank you for your kind words! I have been blessed with my family and boyfriend, and caring for them is what I do best! I loved reading your profile and will be checking out the site that you listed -- I am just starting the filing for disability process for my son and we just finished filing an appeal with the VA for my boyfriend's benefits! I look forward to following you on your journey!

Feel free if you have any questions! Glad to help if I can.

Thank you! I learned a long time ago that you accomplish nothing by having the "woe is me" attitude! If my experiences can help others to realize that struggles do not mean the end of the world, I will have found success. Thank you for the well wishes -- I am sending them back to you as well!

Thank you for sending the well wishes.

I'm very certain that your story will inspire people around the world.

Becky

Thank you! I will definitely be checking your sites out! I love learning from other people!

My pleasure Kristin! Best of luck with all your endeavors and let me know if there is anything I can help you with.
Regards,
Shawn

Thank you, Des! Best wishes to you as well!

Thank you! I am really enjoying the experience here!

Sounds like you keep busy! I am relatively new but feel like I have accomplished quite a bit in the past 2 1/2 months. That sense of accomplishment is what keeps me moving forward!

That's cool. Always forward! :)

My favorite autism site from an organization is www.autismspeaks.org.

Thank you! I am bound and determined to make this work -- I have been through the ringer with the last 2 employers that I worked for so definitely want to do something from home!

I look forward to "seeing" more of you and getting to know more about you as well!

Kris

Dear Kris,

Thank you in return. I am not an open person, but I can tell you, my four children and I had our share of consciously inflicted set back over the past 20 years, due to a drenched with revenge ex husband.

Whatever I set my mind on, was kicked into the gutter by the system of judges and lawyers. This period was for us bitter and filled with hardship on the one hand. On the other hand, though, we were almost forced to keep counting, polishing and cherishing all of our blessings - and believe me, the more you pay attention to blessings, the more they grow. We managed to keep up with gratitude, which I consider a blessing as well!

And now I have found WA - I am determined, kicking my heels in to overcome any language barrier, to bring my WA enterprise into full fruition. I hope and want ( between brackets) to succeed in an online business.

In one word - we found ourselves in the grinder as well and in the first place, I want to show my children, that once a big No, does not mean, that every door on the face of the earth is locked forever. Ths sun shines for everybody and we, living in the Netherlands, still find ourselves in the favourable position that we easily can start walking on the sunny side of the street.

Inspiring your children is the best upbringing. You as a loving mother will be aware of this miracle approach as well.

Let's keep in touch - thank you for your personal note.

Henriette.

It sounds like we have some things in common -- we will definitely have to keep in touch!

-)-). We will, Kris.

Thank you for sharing the things we have in common! And thank you for following me in return! It is good to know that there are others who can relate! Best wishes!

Yes, I have completed the certification training and my website about parenting autism is growing! And looking at other caregiver info for future sites!

Thank you -- I would appreciate that very much. My website is https://autismparentingtoday.com.

I am always open to feedback, especially since this is my first attempt at a website!

It is a full plate, but if I did not have so many things going on I probably would not know what to do! I am excited to share my experiences with others to possibly help them as well! I will definitely check out your "battle"!

Have a great day!

Hello Kirstin,

I had to investigate a bit further and yes, I had been writing with this lady named Karen about her website which did have those problems which are now being solved. I am happy there is peace again and that you did not scold me for being stupid.

Greetings from the south of Spain Taetske,

I would never scold and I do not think you were being "stupid" -- that term does not actually exist in my vocabulary! Everyone is capable of making a mistake -- I know that I have personally made many! Technology can be a funny thing sometimes and your comment along with those of a couple of others had me worried that there was a problem with my site! I am very happy that we figured it out and everything is ok!

Thank you! I have learned a lot and am really enjoying the community here at Wealthy Affiliate! Thank you for following me back!

Thank you, Robert! I have become stuck many times in the 5 weeks that I have been here, but I have always found someone to come to my rescue! I am starting Course 5 today, and am excited about it. I also decided this morning that since I have learned so much from blogs posted by other members, I should follow all of the Top 200 -- that is how I came across you!

Hope you have a great weekend and I will definitely be looking through your blogs! Thank you for following me back!

Lots of my blogs for you to read Kristin but stick to the ones you believe will help you now then the others as and when you want some tips about this, that or the other.
I do cover an awful lot about marketing online with those blogs.
If the other members only knew what a gold mine of information they are they would all be reading them instead of asking questions.
Enjoy your Saturday, by the way where do you live?
I only ask because if there's a time difference some people who could actually help might be in bed.
Robert

I live in South Dakota (Central Time Zone). Where are you located?

You should have read my Profile.
I live in Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom and its 4.40pm here and time for eats.
Catch you later.
Robert
One Tip
It’s a good idea (only if you want to) to click the 'Like' icon within a comment if you like it as I have done with yours.
Obviously you don't have to click every single comment or you will be here all day doing nothing but.
But to click the ones you like that are replies to your own comments will be reflected in your WA ranking because it shows you are getting involved with the community.

I am actually usually pretty good about clicking the Like button. And now that you say that, I do remember seeing that in your profile. My question about your location came out automatically after I responded to your question about my location -- just did not stop and think long enough! LOL The downfall of trying to multi-task! Have a good evening!

Thank you!

Thank you! I appreciate that -- I definitely have needed help with some of the items on here! I will definitely be checking out your lists!

Thanks, Darin! It is a horrible disease -- and my husband's attacked his brain backwards, so it took all of his motor skills faster than it took his memory. It was horrible to watch him go through it!

My sympathies for you and your family as well! Wishing you success as well!

That's terrible! I was young married to kids never took the time to see my father. So he passed away without me being there. I regretted that for such a long time. But I did have a spiritual experience and everything is good now

I wish you all the best. If you ever need help with anything look me up. I'll do the best I can for you.

Respectfully,

Darin

My husband was 22 years older than me. He had 2 surviving biological children that he was estranged from. I contacted their mother when he got sick but they chose not to see him. Last summer (5 1/2 years after he died) the son who is now 51 contacted me on FB, regretting the fact that he did not take the time to get to know his biological father while he had the chance! So I can relate to your situation!

Thank you:(

Thank you! I always enjoy wisdom and enlightenment!

You can do it later with no problem. If you start on a free siterubix domain and then decide later you want to purchase one you own you'll be able to move the content over with the click of a button. It's pretty easy. Start with free and get your feet wet :) Nothing wrong with that.

Good question. You can do it later although it should only cost around $15.00 at most and that is an annual fee. You can continue for a while with a siterubix but a .com carries more weight with most search engines and you will eventually want to do that. I promise you, there are no other fees or charges you will need to pay. There is Jaaxy to use for keyword searches but I don't use it - WA has a free keyword search tool.

Hope that helps you in making your decision.

Blessings,
Debby

Thank you! My boyfriend is a bit skeptical about this so I don't want to spend too much up front....But since I saved on the Premium membership, I can probably get him to approve another $15. I want this to be successful and it sounds like that is probably the way to do it.

Thank you!! This is helpful to know!

Regarding your URL (domain name) question, yes you can do it later. However, if you are at the level where you are instructed to buy it, then it means you won't be able to move on much unless you do. Yes, you can build a SiteRubix site for free, but your own personal .com website address (domain name) is where you eventually want to be. There is good instruction in the training on how to select a domain name.....take your time with it and don't be in a hurry. A good domain name, which is relevant to your website niche, can be an important ingredient in your eventual success.

Wayne

Thank you, Carl! I will remember that!

I have my first one -- parents coping with autism. Still debating on the next one!

Absolutely, by all means that is a direction you can head here.

I am thinking about completing the affiliate bootcamp but would like your advice! Is it better to go through the 10 certification courses first or to start in on the bootcamp first?

If you want to promote WA and work within the "make money niche", go through the Affiliate Bootcamp training. If you want to build a business within another niche, head through the Get Started Here training.

Focus on just one though. You are going to be much more successful if you focus on one business/website versus trying to do too many things at once. You can always diversify down the road.

Hope this helps you out here Kristin!

Yes, it definitely helps me out! I am headed to course 2 and working toward building my niche website! Thank you!

I look forward to working with you Kristin and if you ever need a hand with anything going forward, please get in touch with me. Chat soon!

PS. Happy Wednesday, I hope you are having an amazing week thus far! :)

Looking for some advice! I am about to start Course 2 of the Certification courses but also know that I want to do the Affiliate Bootcamp. Would you recommend finishing the 10 Certification courses first before starting the Bootcamp?

Looks like you've reached a fork in the road. No worries, I went through the same thing. You should only choose 1. May I suggest, from previous experience, go with the thing you're truly passionate about.

Kyle, the co-owner, recommends you should work on one website for at least a year before you start another one. PM me if you would like further explanation, I dont mind.

If you're passionate about your niche it may be easier to write without having to struggle with it. Plus, I believe you can offer your readers the most value this way; from a level of expertise.

Hope this helps,
Jonathan

Yes, it does help! I was leaning towards my niche as I am very passionate about it -- helping parents cope with autism. I just was not sure whether I was headed in the right direction or not!

Thank you for helping out!

Oh your absolutely welcome. I'm glad I was able to help you with your decision, and I can bet that your webaite will be super helpful!

Well, I have been through almost everything with my son's autism other than the fact that he is verbal. Right now he is in residential care 3 hours away from me -- if I can help even one family avoid that or aid in helping make that decision easier on them, I am more than willing to do it!

Wow, that sounds like a struggle, and you are a very strong person. I'm glad that you are reaching out to others to help. :-)
