Is this Crazy? Jumping In with Both Feet.

I've never been the one to do things half way. All or nothing has been my MO. Stupid? Probably on a few things I have attempted. I'm only a few hours old here on WA. Going premium right out of the starting gate. Crazy.. I must be. What am I thinking.

A few hours old into something I know absolutely nothing about. I mean I just stumbled into this maybe 2 or 3 weeks ago. I was doing alittle research into SEO techniques for a website and one road leads to another and BAM, here I am.

On the road here, I did manage to trip over a few of those so called "shiny object", make 1 billion dollars a second schemes. Did I fall for many? Oh yes. I am usually a big skeptic when it comes to things like this, but I have been completely under some kind of spell. I haven't been able to stop researching and reading forum after forum, blog after blog about internet marketing. All of these people talking about trying this method or that method and spending alot of money each time one of these Get Rich Quick programs come out. I think I dodged a big bullet by finding WA so fast in my journey. Fortunate really.

I did my due diligence and performed a quick google search for WA scams and WA ripoffs, but you guys have the market cornered with your affilate postings. LOL. I really didn't know what to expect. So I said to myself, signup for the free membership, how bad can that be? Umm, one premium membership later, you have your answer :). I just knew when I clicked the payment button, everything was going to be o.k. It was. I do usually have a voice calling me stupid if I do something crazy. No voice. Just a good feeling.

All of the information that's available to the free side is amazing. I have never seen an online community, no matter what the subject was, to be so helpful and friendly. That is what sold me.

I don't know where this journey or whatever you want to call it, is going to take me, but I do know that I am going to learn a great many things here and meet and get to know alot of great many people.

I am looking forward to it.

Totally agree with you. I stumbled in here too and came back almost every day since. The feeling of a friendly, helpful community is also what convinced me. With all the trainings and cool responses, I knew I will make it somehow.

The community here is great. So much to learn. I am enjoying it so far. Have a great week.

I can so relate to this. Towards the end of the day before yesterday, I stumbled across this site. Three hours later, I upgraded to premium. Thrown myself in with both feet, can't stop reading, researching, communicating, watching trainings, building my page, hour after hour after hour, and I love it! I totally feel your enthusiasm and good feeling about this site and industry. WA really is the best I've come across and I too am glad to be here. :)

It's crazy I tell you. \m/

But it rocks like hell!! :D \m/

Your story sounds similar to mine. Got semi caught once but came out of it cheaply. Then, although I had looked for it earlier, I found the spam confirmation on a WA members site. Good luck to you. My journey slowed a bit as I am building a strawbale house. But now I am back to full steam ahead. Keep posting your progress.

You have come to the right place and had the insight to go full bore out of the gate

Great post. Great writing! Wishing you much success.

This also sounds exactly the way I was feeling. Two months down the track and I feel that I have learnt so much in such a short time, I have been researching on and off for about 10 years!! I have trouble turning off the computer as I want to keep reading and learning!! good luck with it all and I hope you achieve your goals :) Shirley

I just started another pot of coffee. I cant stop reading :). Make it stop :)

"-) Oh my goodness have you made me chuckle this morning!

I dropped in because of a question you posed about Dragon, I don't have any experience with it but thought your question could help me learn a thing or two.

If I remember it correctly this new member uses the Dragon effectively and could be a good person to run a question by:

And THAT is how this amazing community works. Your gut has been right on this decision you have made. No you are NOT crazy. I have been here for a little over a year now and still learning, (sometimes things move slowly for me with the juggling around family) but I still am quite appreciative of this remarkable opportunity and community.

So glad you have found it too...and now I am looking forward to what you will creatively bubble to the surface.

Thank you Linda. I appreciate. Looking forward to whatever comes next. Have a great week.
