Maybe this is another niche for you--marketing to people who are tired of working at gas stations! Like you, they may be wanting to improve their situation. Just document your journey, the obstacles, the support you have found here at WA. If you can reach other people in your situation, they too may join WA, giving you your first earnings.

It took me more than a month to get started here, for many reasons. I think as Alexander says, you need to concentrate on one program. WA I think is best, for one reason the low cost of operation. It also helps if the people around you are encouraging not negative. Negative people are afraid you will be successful and leave them. When it's not busy at work, ideas may creep into your head about what you can do with a blog. Write them down if necessary, and act on them a little bit each day until you build some momentum. No matter how close you are to a person, don't allow them to be naysayers around you. It's a psychological beat down and adds to your fatigue. Try to wake up happy every day and look forward to coming home to work on the business that will make you a visitor to the gas station rather than a permanent resident. Good Luck!!!

I have felt much the same. I get on here when I can and do what I can. I think we all get frustrated feeling like we are on a treadmill! Hang in there!

Hi Lois, sounds like you are rushing here and there and getting no where fast. I can relate, I use to be like that. Things started to change when I stopped the bus got off, sat at the bus stop had a think then jumped on the next bus that was going in my direction. It would be good if we could do many things at once, very few can. I haven't met anyone that can do many business things at once. The affiliate programs you mention have been around for a while. they are not going away some time soon. Perhaps focus on one thing become proficient then move on to the next thing. Hope this helps you.

I rejected MOBE because of the cost and some less than encouraging reviews and went with WA instead. I am sorry that you are having a rough time, but if you can do just a little each day it will make a difference. Don't give up. We will help you as much as we can. You are better off here. If it takes you a little longer to get it, I am right there with you. I often have to review lessons more than once to get it. Listen to your heart and your head. Read my blog Wealthy Affiliate - Are You a Good Fit? See if that helps.

I know how you feel Lois, It's not easy especially when you have so much on your plate. The best advice I can give you is to start thinking about what you want and need in your life. Evelyn

I'm not familiar with MOBE but I wonder how much conflicting information you be getting by studying 2 different methods. How successful do MOBE site users tend to rank?

I know that I see WA members in the top 10 for a very wide range of keyword phrases in many niches. It may take 3 to 6 months to start seeing results but it is so worth the effort!

Time will tell just slow down and learn the basics first. and it will be a gold mine one day as Rome was not built in a day.

I know where you are coming from as well....You have to dedicate a lesson at least every day to keep moving forward....Baby steps ...keep that in mind!

Life can certainly get in the way of getting things accomplished, can't it? If I were you, I would stop stressing and work here and there when you get the time. You've got so much on your plate right now, it is very overwhelming. Give yourself a break and take this thing on in small bite size pieces. We all get there when we do, and as there is no race, everyone gets things done in different time frames. :)
