Wow! I can't believe I've been with WA for a whole year now. The time has gone by pretty fast. I have been working really hard, well most of the time, on creating content. To be honest, there were many days where nothing was accomplished. Maybe it was writer’s block, maybe it was anxiety. But I didn't give up. I knew and still know that this is not a sprint it's a journey. I know it is not going to be easy. There have been some down days and there have been some up days. And there will be many more.

The key is to stay focused on the goal. I kept asking myself what is the goal? What do I need to do to accomplish that goal? However, truth be told I'm not a great Affiliate Marketer. My passion is in writing the articles, but that's not where the money is. So I try to do both.

My niche is Dogs. I love dogs. There is so much to write about that I often don't know what to write about. Sometimes I have to go back to my About Me page to read what I said this website was all about to remind myself and to find inspiration.

I haven't made any money yet. Well, I haven't signed up for any Affiliate Programs yet because I don't have enough visitors to my site yet. I'll probably be denied. I know I need to write more reviews. I may not be where I want to be yet, but at least I am not where I started. I am proud of how far I have come. I also need to do a better job of reaching out to the community when I need encouragement. When I have in the past I was very appreciative of the help and encouragement I received.

My plans for the next three months are to launch a new website. Move out of state and buy a home. I am not canceling my current website. I don't mean to have too many irons in the fire, but I really felt lead to start this new website to share a message I believe God gave me. He gave me a message a few months ago but I didn't know how to share it. I didn't know how to protect it. I think creating this new website with my husband will be the way to do that. It is nice working with my husband and sharing my WA knowledge with him. He has been writing articles too. We haven't purchased the domain yet but hopefully will do so next month. Crooks4Christ.com ~ Our last name is Crook. We've actually been using Crooks4Christ in ministry for quite some time. We decided to use it as our domain name. What do you think?

Within the next six months, I hope to be making income from my website so that my husband doesn't have to work so hard. We are moving south to enjoy a more laid back, slower-paced life. We are done with the city. My dream is to have passive income so that we can be able to do things to help support our loved ones down there when necessary. We are not materialistic people, but you need money to do things.

I want a couple of dogs and my husband wants some goats. Yes. Goats. Well, we will need to have a place to keep them. I also intend to have things in place to keep them occupied so they don't become bored and destructive. We will need to feed them and have money set aside for emergencies and medical visits.

I am grateful to the WA community and to Ambassadors who help me out of some jams. Thank you to Kyle and to Jay for their great training and "World Famous Q and A sessions." And than you to Eddy with a Y for being a great coach and encouraging me.

Look at me now! :)
