Happy International Friendship Day!
Let us be grateful to the people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom. – Marcel Proust Happy International Friendship Day!
Thank You
There are many thank you's to be given to many amazing people within this wonderful Wealthy Affiliate platform. I definitely cannot mention everyone who has helped me along my journey so please, if your name is not mentioned, don't feel neglected or unappreciated. I appreciate every single member within WA - so thank you everyone!
Just to mention a few names:
Thank you first of all to Kyle and Carson for creating this incredible place where we can spend time learning, growing and sharing our highs and lows as online entrepreneurs.
Jay at @magistudios for awesome live training. Always something new to share (or even remind us of at times), always shared with enthusiasm. Thank you, Jay.
Thank you for ChrystopherJ for sharing the social media content ideas. ChrystopherJ is an Ambassador within the WA community - a very well-deserved accolade. I think Chrystopher knows everything there is to know about online business.
I am grateful for the many, many people I have met and been helped by within this community - you are all so generous with your knowledge and time.
That is what the WA community is built on - the generous sharing of knowledge and time. Even encouraging one another when the going gets tough - and let's face it, being an entrepreneur certainly does test our mettle!
As I said above, I cannot thank every person by name, as I am typing now so many names and faces are popping up in my minds eye - you know who you are and I hope you know just how much I appreciate you.
Evidence
Perhaps you are new to Wealthy Affiliate and need some evidence? Here is just a little, I could share so much more, but that would take too much of all of our time ...
If you are looking for evidence of the incredible support here, I encourage you to read a blog I posted on 14 October, Frustration Reigns. This blog was written after I had eye surgery and was facing many challenges with my online business. To be honest, I still do. Double vision and exhaustion when I work on the screen or read (even on paper) for too long.
The important thing to notice with that blog is the support I received from this community. You were all so good to me, encouraging me - thank you.
My Encouragement To You
On 29 January 2020 I wrote a blog, Allow Me To Encourage You. Never Ever Give Up. This post shows just how much value this community offers, even in times when you are unable to work at maximum capacity.
As a direct result of hard work put in by fellow WA members, my Pinterest numbers took off! This is during the time when I am not able to write, no matter how motivated I am or many amazing ideas I have, my eyes simply do not allow me to.
How many businesses have you worked in where your colleagues hard work benefits you directly? In the corporate work that would be a very rare experience.
Wealthy Affiliate is where it is at folks!
Get Involved - WA Has More For You That You Can Imagine!
On 7 July I wrote another blog Why Create A Profile Within WA Even As A Starter Member
The purpose of this post is to encourage newbies to put themselves out there in the community. No matter how intimidated you may be feeling because you are a newbie surrounded by many experts ... WA is the place where your reaching out will be rewarded!
Keep in mind that the experts all started out as newbies, they remember how many others gave them a hand up and will do the same for you.
Make use of the Live Chat (see underneath your profile picture). If you do not get a response that helps you, go to the Help Center (directly below Live Chat) and upload a question to the community.
Be patient when waiting for answers, this is an international platform and that means that you may have to wait for some experts on the other side of the world to start their day before they see your question).
Remember: There Is Strength In Numbers.
Read Blogs Within WA
Much is available to be learned by reading the blogs shared within this community. Kyle recently wrote two which come to mind with ease:
5 Types of Entrepreneurs. Some Succeed. Some Fail. This article in jam packed with information for you, best of all, Kyle reveals that You Get To Choose.
4 Attributes of Successful Marketers. Again, an article giving you the clues, and yes, success does leave clues.
Follow WA Members
As mentioned above, success leaves clues. Actively seek out others in the community. There are successful entrepreneurs within WA, literally a couple of keyboard taps away. Read their blogs within WA and learn from their experience.
Extend your hand to others when you can help - that is the culture and ethos of this platform.
The more people you follow, the more people will follow you. Reach out and make yourself accessible too.
More InformationThan You Need In A Lifetime
In the time I have been here (since October 2018) it's become apparent to me that there is more information within WA than you will need in a lifetime. How spoiled are we?
I encourage you to grab hold of everything this opportunity has to offer you - even if you are a starter member still. If you are in the position to upgrade to Premium, what are you waiting for? Seriously, you are looking a gift-horse in the mouth!
Back To International Friendship Day

It's National Cheesecake Day as well. What a perfect combo.
Just add coffee/tea. I wish I would have realized this when I went for groceries earlier. I always have room for cheesecake. Cheese -- it's a protein right???? lol
Date When Celebrated : This holiday is always observed on July 30
National Cheesecake Day is today. As food holidays go, this is one of the tastiest of treats.
Despite being a rich, high calorie, and cholesterol filled, cheesecake is a very popular dessert. Why? Because it tastes so good. It is enjoyed plain, or with your favorite fruit topping.
Enjoy the day with a piece of cheesecake, along with your favorite topping. If you have time, make the cheesecake yourself.
Happy National Cheesecake Day!

Hi Debbi
Wow, international friendship day just gets better and better. We had chilli dog day (according to Steve) and cheesecake for dessert - all with our friends!!!
I am a big cheesecake fan - I am sure I saw a "healthier" version of it online too ... the keto way :-)
Thank you for sharing, Happy National Friendship Day, National Chilli Dog Day and National Cheesecake Day! Gosh, my heart is full and my tummy is too.
Blessings always

Hey, Louise, you are amongst those wonderful friends you mentioned, at least to a new person like me. I am one month old, apparently. Kyle wrote to me to congratulate me and offer help. I guess I wasn't keeping track. Time goes by so quickly when you're in the presence of friends. So I understand your need to write this article, and you did a great job. I'm sorry to read about your eye giving you problems. I have to watch my left eye, so at times, I simply have to stop writing. Take a break now and then, and enjoy life. It's meant to be enjoyed.
Thank you so very much, Joss!
Wow, a month old! Time sure does fly when we are having fun :-)
I really appreciate your comment, friendship is so valuable, something well worth cherishing.
Thank you for sharing your challenges with your eye too. Much appreciated.
Blessings always
Louise
Thank you for this very inspiring post, Louise!
It is even more inspiring when you realise how others have overcome obstacles. Each story is unique, but there's a common thread here... and that's the bridge of friendship shared on this platform providing insight, and motivation to continue on!
Best wishes,
Jacquie
Hi Jacquie
My pleasure to share. Knowing this has inspired you makes it all worth while too!
Agreed, we all have obstacles to overcome and those are our unique stories to be shared. By sharing we encourage each others, I love that!
Happy friendship day, lovely!

Friendship day!
It is true that the friendship in the WA International Village is an important foundation for all of us. We met here, we supported each other and all our doubts and our difficult times became bearable thanks to all the great people we met in here.
It is a difficult time for the world, for the United States, for Africa and the rest of the world. But I have to say that thanks to my friends from Switzerland and WA, life seemed lighter to me. So thank you Louise for being such a positive friend of WA Village!
Friendly!

Hi Ingrid
