Super Affiliate Challenge Month 2 Progress
Ooh... things are going pretty slowly on my side on Month 2 of the Challenge, I must tell you.
I slowed myself down purposefully in the beginning. I took a long time to read Kyle's full Tutorial, watch his video and digest all the info.
Now that I understand Kyle's process I'm hoping I can play catch up when it comes to actually writing my 12 posts.
Site Content Goals
I created my Content goals, which I think were a bit ambitious, considering that the source of most of my guest posts has dried up and so I'm struggling to get posts up on my other two sites.
Having said that, the one post I've published so far was a guest post. It wasn't for my SWAG site though, so it doesn't count toward my 12.
My word count is lower than last month, because I'm now writing all my WA Blog Posts directly in this wonderful new facility. I was writing them in Content last month and so the words were being counted towards my Word Count Goal last month.
30 Keywords
Done.
Captivating Titles
Done.
My Next Step is to Break Down the Articles into Headlines.
Site Comments
I'm keeping a tally of my Site Comments, I've offered 8 out of the 30 so far and received 5 wonderful comments in return. Bonus!!
Live Chat
I haven't managed to go on Live Chat every day this week, but I try make up for lost time on the days I do go on. I don't use a timer and time kinda runs away with me on Live Chat, so I'm sure I'm in credit there.
Helping 5 People on WA a Day
However, I'm finding I'm not always able to help 5 people a day as sometimes I take a long time helping one person who's grappling with something and can't find answers.
For example, I see a number of questions in Live Chat from newcomers who can't move on with their training because they can't get to grips with their Theme. So I created a free Siterubix test site so I can try out their Themes myself and hopefully be of more help to them.
In one case, I was able to help the new member customise their site, in another case, they figured the solution out for themselves, before I did.
Perhaps a more long-term solution would be to ask Kyle to teach all newcomers to build using one particular Theme so they don't get confused at the early stages.
Over to You
I'd love to know how it's going on your side, everyone?
Hope you are further ahead than I am.
To Your Success
PS. For those who haven't discovered thisyet - the ideal size of the featured image in our spiffy new WA Blog Posts is 1090px x 400px.

Hi Lauren, don't worry, you are doing fine. Even when you think you are lagging behind you are usually far ahead of many of us. I for one don't know how you do so much for others, and still do all of the challenges for the month. I have to say, when I feel overwhelmed, I think of you and what you accomplish. :-) Frank
Your are still doing great Lauren. There will be highs and lows. So long as you are doing something in the challenge you are moving forward.
You have such a selfless approach to doing things, Lauren. Really exemplary. Thanks for sharing all of this useful information.
Great idea about using a "standard" theme for newcomers' training. Later in their training they could be introduced to changing their themes as a training lesson.
Thanks Joe. When I get the opportunity, I'll put it forward to Kyle. It's so much easier to grapple with highly customisable Theme when you've built a website.
Nice progress. Don't beat yourself up over being behind with your total posts, you have done a lot of things right and are moving forward in a positive direction. Keep up the great work.
Thank you for sharing this helpfull informations dear laurenjean, Congratulations , And I am watching that video of Kyle and it is very interesting, I want to thank you for sharing us.
Have a great time
Stay blessed

Hey Lauren,
I understand. I wish I was far along than I am too. The thing is, you are doing the right thing.
You are helping others in need. Everybody is right, don't worry.
That's what I wrote about last night. Don't look at the scale of things, we will get there :-)
My content on my websites is suffering too. Although I'm writing content for one site, it doesn't count towards the other site.
So, please don't worry :-) You will get there, as so will I.
Just like you are there for other members. We are all here for you. :-)
Big Hugs ;-)

Don't miss this post like I nearly did, peeps. Don't Look at the Scale! It's the Ultimate Workout to Your Success!
