I Made It Through Course 1!

Well, everyone, I finally finished lesson 10 in Course 1. I can't say I was persistent at first. I got sidetracked into the Affiliate Bootcamp for a little while. Then I realized I needed to go back to where I started as I had already purchased a domain name and was anxious to get my site up and running.

About halfway through, I changed my mind again and decided to use a different domain name and niche after some inspiration from something I had read around that time. I had owned a domain name years ago but let it expire and actually established a home business name and registered it with an EIN and everything. When I checked, it was still available as a domain name. Since I had half the work already done in branding myself, I decided to resurrect the old business name and move forward with a new focus.

I plan on promoting the WA program on my site as a supplement to my on-demand Virtual Assistant office support services that I will be marketing to primarily bloggers, or wannabe bloggers, who need some help with research, editing, and proofreading of content.

The community here has been very good for me because it helps me not to feel so isolated and on my own adrift at sea. At first I was annoyed by the constant emails hitting my inbox, but then I realized I had something I could share as well, so I try to participate and motivate others as much as I can, which always brings encouragement back to me.

Now, on to Course 2.
