How to Rank on Google's First Page? Join Wealthy Affiliate.

I was doing keyword research in Jaaxy at lunch break and saw it's site rank feature. I decided to run 2 random post titles and to my surprise, one of them made it to Google's first page!How did we manage to rank on Google's first page when 6 months ago we knew nothing about making a website? The answer is Wealthy Affiliate.We've been doing WA part-time. We are both full-time registered nurses who are trying to re-create ourselves as we get ready for retirement in 10 years. Six months flew b

I wish I'm a Speed Reader

There are so many training materials of Kyle and Jay, blogs, training developed by many WA members, and we just couldn't get to them fast eough. There's so much to learn here and we're eager to get all the education needed to succeed. So, since I can't add more hours in a day, I wish I'm a speed reader. Any effective speed reading programs that you know of?

Just got done with Certification 4. Yay!

I am a "To Do List" person. I'm so happy to have checked off Certification 4 on our To Do List. Finally! It's not been an easy undertaking as my husband and I juggle between Certification, Bootcamp and Swaggers courses. Plus a multitude of other learning blogs and videos which we try to find patches of time to do i.e. listening to Jay's recorded videos via iphone headsets while cleaning the house, washing the dishes, or driving to and from work.There's still soooo much to learn and yet we'v

Do you really need to go to college?

This question was raised in the article below:https://www.cnbc.com/2018/04/05/reddits-alexis-ohanian-asks-...Our 10 year old son was asked by our daughter last year what he wants to do when he grows up. He said "I want to work from home and be an affiliate marketer". Obviously, he's been watching too much You Tube videos. Three months after he said this, he convinced us (his parents) to get into affiliate marketing. So here we are.But the article above validates the truth about American soc

I'm in the Zone! Finally!

Saturday.....always much awaited. I'm usually excited to get up early on a Saturday because I feel that I own Saturdays :-) The night before, I have all my things to do lined up in my head, looking forward to the next day when I'm free from my daily work routine. But it doesn't always happen as planned. But today it did!! I'm in the zone...finally! Got up at 5:30. Took our adorable black labrador for a walk. Stepped on the treadmill and sprinted for 30 minutes. Had a quick breakfast with

It seems like all we do is write a post - Do you feel the same way?

We've been doing our best to live up to the demands of the SWAGers (to the newcomers reading this, SWAGers stand for Super Wealthy Affiliate Group, a group of WA affiliates who applied and got selected to be part of an intensive training). Lately though, all we've been doing is writing posts, to make the 12 posts required per month. We were set back by a trip we made 3 weeks ago, despite some work done during the trip. We are behind on the training and have been working off the knowledge we l

What to do when you're schedule gets out of your control

I waited for this weekend to be able to get some work put in for WA. I had planned to spend Friday night waching Kyle's video, Saturday & Sunday working fully to catch up on things undone - posts, blog, get into chat, contiue training, etc.But life happens. Our daughter came home unexpectedly for Spring break last Friday. So we spent Friday night and Saturday just being with her because we missed her. Our family was complete again! Our son's Sunday basketball game was announced late Sa

Hustle

We are 4 posts away to completing the required 12 posts for super affiliates.It's been a busy week at work. And a major interview that took place 2 days ago took so much preparation I wonder if it was worth the time I lost in WA, which made me lose my rank by 189 points. Life happens.Another busy week is ahead of us as we leave for Las Vegas and California next week. Another time away from WA. So what do we do? We hustle. The plan is to finish 2 posts before leaving on Wednesday morning.

Fridate with WA

Friday is finally here. We had a simple post-Valentine dinner date where conversation centered on our work and politics. We went back home in the comfort of our basement home-office. I finished the hour long Canva.com video of Jay Neill. Then over red wine, we argued over our brand logo design, the choice of color, and its place on the header. We finally agreed to disagree and published it. Moving on to the Activity Dashboard to see who we can help.Happy Friday everyone!

Our passion will carry us through

Louie is writing our 3rd post for this week. We scheduled to write 3 posts per week to make 12 post in a month as required in the Super Affiliates training. I do the keyword search while Louie does the writing. In between all that, we must be present in the chat room, help at least 5 affiliates, do training, think of ideas for posting, read blogs, write 2 blogs per week, get website feedback, solicit comments, make comments, and the list goes on.In the meantime, I didn't get to clean the hou
