Frustrated , don't want to QUIT!
I'm Frustrated! Right now I have no money to stay or move. I have put everything I have into WA. I am on a fixed income and I joined WA in the beginning to help generate extra income for myself and family.
I spend at least 7 hours/day researching and accumulating data to formulate posts. Either I'm not understanding the formula here at WA or perhaps people are not interested in my topic.
It's nearing the time for another Premium installment and I haven't made any money here. All I have so far is a debt to my son for last month's payment! No a good feeling.
I got stuck in Course 3, Lesson 8 because I haven't figured out how to add AdSense to my posts individually. So I have moved on to Bootcamp, thinking if I begin a new site just dealing with promoting WA, at least my monthly dues will be paid for and I can keep on pursuing my goals. I don't want to QUIT! I thought I never would be saying this.
But what to do? I need some direction and a hug right now.
*****All solutions are welcomed. But please don't include anything requiring more money because I have about $7 to my name right about now.
Thank you in advance.....

DONT QUIT...you have been putting so much work into WA it would be a crying shame for you to give up now, however I can understand the financial situation you are in. I'm sure you will find someone who can see the potential in you and help you out financially. I am struggling too, on the same module. I am not in it for the financial gain alone (tho that will be good when it happens), I am loving the experience. Just wish I had more time to put into it. KEEP GOING!
Robert.
Hi, it looks like Lis has you covered. Hang in there and don't give up, you must be so close to getting some return.
Hi Lina, I am sorry to hear that you are struggling to stay :(. I have taken a look at you site and ran some of your posts through Jaaxy site ranking and they are definitely ranking very well.
Out of the four I tested you had two on page 1 position 1 and one on page 18, so you are doing things right.
I did notice, however, that your selection of keywords could be part of the problem why you are not getting many visitors to your site and why you have not had any sales yet.
I will send you a PM with details of how you can change things around.
The only thing I can suggest about the shortage of your present cash flow is to look at these posts that other members have created for people who have been in the same situation.
Hope it helps. Big Hug coming your way. :) Earn Extra Money (Legitimately) While Waiting For Your Website To Take Off How to Make Some Extra Money Online An Easy Way to Make An Extra $30 Per Month Online Lis.
Could you work some additional jobs such as babysitter, caregiver, waitress or offer some help to folks, who need it?
All the best, Nemira.
I just started yesterday so I do not have words of wisdom or direction... but I do have a hug for you cause I understand frustration so here you are...
(((((HUGS))))
and I hope things work out for you!!! :) :) :)
Hi LinaB I am sorry that you are in this financial rut. I know what it is like to invest in something hoping for a return and nothing happens. It can be very frustrating and not give you an incentive. Unfortunately it takes time to see your returns when it comes to online marketing unless you have been in the business for a long time and know what you are about and have something else on the side. I do not want to tell you quit but if you cannot afford to continue at WA I suggest perhaps you take a break for a bit and try to catch yourself with your finances because you are the only one who knows your situation outside of WA and to me your own life, family etc takes preference. Education, online marketing and WA would always be around. If you really want to stick with it, perhaps talk to Carson or Kyle and explain to them your financial situation and see what advice they can give you. You are not alone just now that. No matter what decision you make the WA community would be support you and understand. Unfortunately I am not there physically to give you a hug but I would give you a spiritual one and a prayer and say too you have my support no matter what because I understand how you feel. I hope this has helped you a little bit. Take care and all the best.
Hey Lina,
Its totally normal to get frustrated sometimes. It happens to all of us. But did you try to follow any of the tips i've listed here: How To Get The Help Here At WA... Guaranteed! If not, that's step 1.
Your site is only a few months old and that's pretty much nothing in the eyes of Google. So you probably don't have a lot of traffic if it all which is why you haven't seen any results yet.
Your first couple of months you're just building the foundation of this business. Your focus needs to be writing content and posting it. Not just spending time researching it. If you're not posting at least 1-2 new articles per week, then you haven't really done much.
Consistency is the key. And any business is a long term play. You can't go into it in a desperate situation where you're hoping to make money quickly because that's not the reality of running a business. You have to be in it long term to see results and that can be many months or even a year down the line.
The solution is really time, patience and writing more content. I don't know if just doing bootcamp was the right idea for you. I always recommend that people start with a niche their passionate about: Should I Pick This Niche? Because it makes it easier to weather these storms that we've all been through.
With all that said I don't have a solution that will magically get you the money you want quickly. I do know that following what WA teaches does eventually lead to money in time. But it may take a while as I described here: How Long Will It Take Me To Be Successful? I hope this sort of helps.
Eddy with a y
Thanks Lynne. Just speaking from my years of experience in this business. If i would have given up at the first sign of not seeing money after a few months, I wouldn't have achieved what I have with this business. And the operative word there is "business". No one can approach this like a job. Building a business is hard work and usually unpaid when you first start. But you get to the point where you're close to a break through but folks usually quit before then. So hopefully that won't be the case here. If it's a financial burden, I totally get it. But a lot of time I see it's just a lack of patience from folks.
I totally get it! I have been working online for 4 years already, with 2 websites. I just couldn't figure out how to do everything on my own. Made a lot of mistakes along the way but I have built up a nice little online baby store in my country that supplies retail and wholesale baby clothing...but it is not enough. I wanted more and I wanted to learn!
When I found WA I neatly wet myself with excitement. Everything I have been looking for is here. Everything I need to learn is right here. So I set up another 2 websites.
So now I am what I would call busy lol.
I would love it if you could give me some feedback on my website, I've gotten some from Vitaliy and from Kyle but I would love your input too.
LOL I am sure yours might be more brutal but I can take it, honestly I can!
It is smallonlinebusinessopportunity.com
Whenever you get around to it, if you can would be great! All I am focusing on right now is churning out content and getting comments. Then I will be hitting the training again.
Neatly wet yourself! LMAO. Oh I love your sense of humor. Just private message me your site and I'll definitely take a look at it and give you some feedback privately as soon as I cna. Bit if my buddies Vitaliy and Kyle looked at it already then I'm sure they probably give you some solid advice I would give. lol
Yeah Vitaliy hooked me in here. I bet I was the fastest hit he ever got! I had my credit card whipped out so fast... then I saw Jaaxy and luckily my card was still out :)
Yeah I do value their advice immensely and I have implemented all Vitaliy's suggestions already. I only got Kyle's feedback today so will be busy with that tomorrow.
I like to you know spread things out a bit. Each person has something unique to bring to the table and it all helps. Vitaliy and Kyle didn't bring up the same things at all, which is great it gives me more to work with!
I've asked for feedback in the site feedback thing and everyone is just too F'ing nice. It is kinda flattering to hear that I am doing well, my site looks nice blah di blah.... but how does that HELP me improve?
I have a feeling you might be a little more honest and vicious which I am looking forward to in strange sort of way.
Well you have a great sponsor in him. And you'll definitely learn a lot.
And you're right we all have something unique to bring to the table. So when you private message me I'll be sure to share any of my insight. And yes I'll keep it real with you. It drives me crazy when other members say the same nice things. Because you're right it doesn't help you get better. But part of that could be because folks don't really have anything bad to say because they're new. So I keep that in mind. lol
Hi Lina don't quit!! To add AdSense
Go to Adsense register then it will tell you fill in your name and address make sure it is correct. Then add your URL in How To Easily Add Google AdSense To Your Website in 4 Steps!
Shame! I know the feeling, money is always tight.
Here are a few things I can share with you:
Firstly I have been working online for 4 years now and only recently found WA. I can promise you that you won't be able to find training and support like you get here. So this is the right place to be.
Secondly you have only been here for about 3 months, this will take time to build up. I have been here for about the same amount of time and I am still waiting for income to start. I have added a load of content and most of it is ranking. However only 4 page 1 rankings now, but the rest are moving up so it is not long to go!
I do feel that promoting WA and doing a making money online website is the way to start here, all the tools are here, you can share what you learn on your website as you go along. There are loads of people here doing make money online websites so you can have a lot of websites to view and get guidance from. Not to say copy them, but get inspiration and ideas from.
Yes your passion is great and you will earn from that, however that might take a bit longer to get going.
I started 2 websites (to add to the 2 I already had lol), one is a making money online website which is where I am putting my main focus. The other is a recovery from alcoholism and addiction website which is my passion. I have started it and I am going to slowly work on that more like a hobby until I am earning an income from my making money website.
I can certainly understand your frustration and impatience. I really recommend that when you are frustrated and need help to share your problems and worries like you have done and get some feedback and guidance.
I really wish you the best of luck and success with your online venture. If you need some help just let me know and I will happily have a look at your website and see if I can give you any guidance.
Thank LynneHuy for your response to my Frustration blog.
Please go over an take a look at my breathefreelyagain.com site. Then give me your honest opinion.
Like I said, maybe people are not interested in this topic. But right now I only have the abiility to open a siterubix site if I have to start another one.
Awaiting your feedback......
Hi Lina
Great, I'll PM you some info and try and help you out with a few things :)
By the way my husband suffers from asthma and allergies... So I find your topic interesting. My kids have had breathing illnesses until recently, always getting bronchialitis. My daughter was in hospital for a week when she was 6 months old. So the dehumidifier post is something I would have searched for 3 years ago because it was recommended we get one. Maybe also look at a Nebulising post, we had to buy a nebuliser for her or they wouldn't release her from hospital for another few days.
There are readers in every niche, so I wouldn't worry about that at all!
Kind regards
Lynne
