Success! I Finally Found My Home.
Yep, that's right. One where I feel safe, secure, and in a community that looks out for each other.
I have been searching for a long time. Like 10ish years. But each of the ones I looked at just didn't fit for me or my family... I just didn't get a loving feel and never quite took the plunge.
But on December 28, 2018, I found it. I fell in love almost immediately. And made plans to make my move. And the support I have received has been incredible.
Where Is This Beautiful Home, You Might Ask?
Right here. My WA home. And I have been welcomed by my new WA family with open arms, love, support, and guidance.
Within 24 hours of finding my home, I went Premium. Within the last 2 weeks, I have accomplished so much, thanks to the incredible training I am receiving. So far:
- My website has been ranked on Google
- I actually have content
- My content has also been ranked on Google
- I have found products to promote
- My network is building
- My confidence is building
- I have people looking at my website from around the world, not just my one little city (me)
- Comments are being left on my posts
- I'm able to help others that are just starting out as well
- I've learned how to structure my website & my posts
- I'm learning to be comfortable writing my thoughts
I'm sure there are a lot more things that I have accomplished, but just wanted to name a few.
Why It Took So Long To Get Here
For the last 10ish years, I have wanted to do more than just a job. I have wanted to be able to teach our children that there is more to life than just having a job, paying bills, going to sleep, and waking up just to do it all over again.
So I researched how to make money online. I paid for course after course after course to learn how to do this, only to find a bunch of stuff was missing.
- Step by step consisted of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, then skipped to 17
- It was a slimeball tactic/product that I would NOT feel comfortable promoting to anyone
- I was told to just create my own product (pretty much out of thin air, it seemed)
- Personal training? Yeah... nonexistent.
- Upgrades galore
This pattern happened more times than I care to admit.
So then I tried to mesh them all together, but everything was so inconsistent.
Frustrated and ready to give up, I once again searched for "make money online". I came across a website with a link for Wealthy Affiliate. As I started reading through the information, I realized I had come across the missing link and started going through the training immediately.
While no system is perfect (perfect is actually a matter of perception, and varies from person to person), this one has, by far, got me the farthest in my quest of helping others while making a living online.
What Are My Next Steps?
I will just say that my posts here may be short... they may be few and far between... and my comments may be sparse. My mission is to do my best to get through the training SO THAT I can be experienced enough to give back to others by teaching them to do the same.
In the meantime, Dream Big Dreams!

Thanks, Cal! Biggest part of getting someone to read what you write is to get them hooked, right? Glad it worked, thanks for reading & commenting on my post ;)
Welcome to WA!!!! I am glad you finally found the place you were searching for within WA!

And the best part is they alWAys leave a light on for us. Any time, any day or night. Love it here. I like the featured image. Blue and gold forever!

I can relate to what you've said to a lesser degree. Thankfully it only took me 18 months to find WA. I commend you for sticking it out for 10 years. With that sort of attitude and persistence, you are going to do extremely well here. Best wishes for your success.

Thanks for your encouragement, Tanya. Yes, on and off, it took that long. Now, onwards and upwards!
I search for years, like you did, and one day POOF WA popped up. With a timid click, I took the free training. I was hooked!
This is home! Wonderful Post!
Welcome neighbor!

Hi Leslie,
I love this post! Your analogy of finding your home here is so nice. I agree and feel the same way. I love WA so much and have been a member for almost 3 years now. It is just such an amazing place.I am not making a ton of money yet but I do make a profit and considering this is my 3rd job at the moment, that isn't bad!
I hope you do well here.

Hello Leslie, So Happy you found WA after a run of “no goes”. It was meant to be. WA is a GOER big time. And we met each other into the bargain. A bonus. Have a super day. Lol Cheers AJ
Thanks, AJ! I'm loving it here, and glad to meet other people in the process as well. Makes it way less intimidating when others are sharing their progress as well.
