Hi Dani - I saw you mention an ED in live chat too... that and alcoholism is a really good topic to go into. I've got a number of websites and they all earn (or are about to since they are new) which is really exciting. Addiction is an amazing niche and sharing your personal experience really helps others.
Yes I am mostly hitting those goals. I do earn more than $2000 per month from my blogs but not always over $5000 although there have been months I've earned a lot more. It just depends on what I am busy with and at this time I am working on a really exciting new project which I have not yet monetized!

If you are lost with where to begin don't stress! My advice is to choose whatever you are most passionate about and do that. Get started as soon as possible with it. Once you understand the process of building your website, creating content, getting traffic and monetizing your website you are free to do whatever you want in the future. You can stick with your first website you create or you can explore new niches!

Thanks so much for the quick response! You have definitely given me hope. Right now I live at my dads house (not very proud of that) and because of years of being reckless I have destroyed my driving record to the point where car insurance companies want $400 or more from me a month just for liability on an old beater car. I work part time as a waitress and probably make about $1200 total a month. I live in Maryland and that is one of the more expensive states to live in so that’s why I can’t afford my own place... even rent in a shitty apartment can be about $2,000 a month when all said and done with utilities. I feel like a loser and my dad tells me that I am all the time. It hurts and I really want to make a change. I have all the time in the world to sit with my phone and blog and I feel like I have been through so much that I could share and hopefully potentially help other girls or people I’m general that are long through those things. By then of course self doubt kicks in and the voices say “you’re never goin to make it” or “who would want to read YOUR blog? All you are is a single mom who still lives with her dad at 25” I really feel better after hearing that someone has been successful enough to make even 2k in a month from blogging and I hope that I can start something and be making money from it maybe by this time next year or even sooner. How long did it take you to start getting traffic? Also when you make your website is it through WA or do you have your own dot com thing that people have to type in and find? I have had art websites to sell my art for years now and I never seem to get any traffic maybe a few clicks from close friends and family that I tell about the page but not much beyond that. What would be any different about it if I were to open up about addictions and ED? :/

Firstly you have done amazing well - you are sober right? I also spent many years stuffing up my life, in all honesty I should not even be alive today, never mind thriving!
So give yourself a break and acknowledge what you have achieved. 2 years clean is a miracle.
There is nothing wrong with living with your dad and being a waitress right now, you are working and bringing up kids. I'm just so sorry to hear that you are struggling with your dad - that is not nice at all.
The questions you ask are a little tricky to answer since I already had a website and a bit of traffic before arriving at WA. I have 5 websites right now (I deleted a few) and I have another 2 planned for the future. I started working online in 2012 but that was with an online store. I was earning full time by 2014 and then in 2015 I found WA and by 2016 I changed my online store to a blog and started blogging full time with a huge leap of faith. By I think early 2017 or maybe even end of 2016 so I was earning full time from blogging.
I have 3 websites hosted here and 2 hosted elsewhere but they are all my own domains.
Regarding your websites - what would be different now is that you have a platform that will teach you how to gain traffic to your website, and the support of a community which you never had before. Also what is stopping you from blogging on your art websites? Just out of interest? I have a friend that is an artist and a mental health activist (bipolar disorder and alcoholic) and she writes blogs and sells art on her website. She brings them both together - art is how she expresses herself and she connects the two beautifully.
If you already have websites then you have an advantage - aged domains and a presence. It would be much easier to get those vamped up and get traffic than it might be for a new website. Just a thought :)

I also have bipolar disorder and a few other disorders according to doctors, I have been hospitalized over 7 times maybe 10 to mental health facilities for suicide attempts mostly or suicidal thoughts later on because I stopped actually trying to take my own life. Maybe I could share some of those stores on my art page. I guess you are right it isn’t a bad idea to just use my current website and add a blog section to it? I just don’t really know much about web page design so I thought starting from scratch would be easier. Because I am telling you probably only 10 people have ever even looked at this page. So just because it’s been in my Instagram bio for 6 months doesn’t really make it any more popular or different from a website you’ve never heard of or a new website. I hope I’m making sense. But I love your idea to combine the mental health struggles I have dealt with and still deal with and my art that I also feel is very much a work in progress... I just have to do something to change my life because although I am sober I still feel very depressed a lot of the time. Mostly because I am constantly being called very mean names by my father. Stupid, useless, cunt, bitch, whore, etc. I hope soon I can figure all this stuff out and if not myself maybe atleast help someone else out there.

Oh dear, yes you need to get out of that situation as fast as you can. Being in such an unhealthy home environment is not going to do your mental health and recovery any favours!

Check out my friend Yvette Hess here: https://yvettehess.com/

She is the person I spoke to you about and she knows all about coming from an abusive home.... you should really connect with her and have a look at her website. She does amazing things.

You've already got your website - I would really consider using it. You will learn amazing things here and you can implement it on your website.

I've still got my website that I had before I joined WA and that is still my main business, I just revamped it and implemented everything I learned there. I then changed it from being an online store with a blog to a blog and ditched my store.

Hi Tammy

I'm doing great thanks! I hope you are too.

I'm a bit confused about what you are asking. Do you mean you want to direct people from one of those websites here to WA using your referral link? Or do you want to redirect all the traffic from your one website to your other website?

Hi Ami

It is lovely to meet you! I was actually around the corner from you a few weeks ago, in Somerset West. I used to live in Cape Town but I have been in Saldanha for the last 8 years. For sure we can meet up sometime when I am in Cape Town perhaps. WA is an amazing platform and you will learn so much here. It can be very overwhelming in the beginning but you will learn faster than you expect.

Hi Lynne!

Oh wow, this is unreal! I'm looking forward to meet you in person...please let me know as soon as you come this way again!
We can surely make a plan to meet up and you're welcome to come for a nice cup of tea and chat at our place!

Thanks for the encouragement...yes it is quite a lot of new info to absorb and learn, but it's truly amazing! I love it!!

Look after yourself,
Talk soon again,
Annemarie

Awesome! I sent you my number too!

Awesome thanks Lynne!! 👏👏
Talk soon! 😀
Annemarie (Ami)

Hey Joel - you are so right about that - it does take work but it is very much possible to make an amazing income online with time and effort. Please note that this is a zero spam community - sharing your company name and sending links privately or publicly here will land you in hot water!

Hi Lynne, I appreciate your response. I do apologize for that. Looking forward to a prosperous future.

Hi Camille

I am so sorry to hear that your Pinterest account was suspended! I also had one of my accounts suspended and Pinterest is offering no explanation to me either.

I have since deleted that training video - which was advice that I was given by another member on how to add WA links to Pinterest.

Also note that there has been a massive amount of people that have had their Pinterest accounts over the last few weeks - I have seen complaints all over online and this is not just related to WA. I have a Facebook group for Pinterest and there has been loads of people with the same problem.

My advice is to keep on contacting them. For my account they wouldn't even give me a reason which is frustrating as can be. I have a number of accounts and I have used the Pretty Link for WA on a few but only one account was suspended so I really don't know if it is related or not.

Thanks for the reply, but I had created a second account since it was suspended, but the problem is that now I couldn't claim with my website any longer, for the website has been connected to the previous account which was already suspended, I don't know how to solve the problem. are there any ideas? thanks for the reply again.

Hi Camilleyang - I don't have an answer for that question since I have not created a new account for my website that was connected to my suspended account.

why not try the community, ask this question in the community, if you are lucky, someone might have experienced something similar and may be willing to help

Hi Carina

Well I can't speak for anyone else... but I love making money online and I make a full time income from home through my online business. I honestly don't place a lot of my effort into affiliate marketing though, I do more influencer marketing.

And Pinterest is fantastic for traffic! I get around 400 - 600 visitors a day to main business website from Pinterest.

I totally agree with you that $49 for us is no small expense, especially when you are not sure if this will work!

I've been here since 2015 and I won't be leaving. Just the keyword tool and the free hosting and tech support is enough to validate my expense of WA without even taking into consideration the best part of WA which is the top notch training.

The focus here is on affiliate marketing but there are lots of other things taught here too.

The main thing that you need to know is that if you want to make money online you need to know how to work your website and get traffic to it. Once you have traffic on your website you can make from it any way you want. You will learn how to do that here.

I believe that this is the best community to be to make money online.

Hi Lynn
Thanks for the info
Is there any way I can call you to talk Are you on WhatsApp Promises I'll not make a nuisance of myself Just a few questions I'm not sure about
Carina

Yes of course you can :) I'll PM you my cell.

Darn - I can't PM you here because you aren't Premium but scroll down the right of my profile here, you will find my Facebook profile there. If you inbox me on Facebook I can send you my phone number.

Hi
Sorry I'm so lost All I can find is your network, blog and training Where exactly must I look

You got me there! Chat Monday!

Hi Michael

I am not sure whether the updated GSC has the option to choose your country or not! I have not seen it there!

Hey Bavi

It is great to meet another South African that is here! I absolutely love WA so I am glad that my enthusiasm helped you to make your choice. What with all the scams and BS out there this is really a gem. If you get stuck with anything just shout!

Kind regards
Lynne

Awesome!!!

:-)

Hi Michael

It is always great to meet a fellow South African here!

I am so sorry I took so long to reply to your inbox message and here on my profile! I see you came right with my training on GSC which I just inboxed you lol.

I am so glad you found my training helpful, I always love it when I can help someone figure things out that used to baffle me. I remember trying for weeks on end to verify my first website before I found WA!

Kind regards
Lynne

No need to be sorry Koen - such is life... and I have had some experiences that not many have had and a chance to really learn how to change myself for the better. I wouldn't change anything in my life.

Best wishes :)

Hey Michael :)

Kaboutjie is in fact a nonsense word so no you won't find a translation for it. I came up with it because my husband is Afrikaans and he used to call our baby Stoute Kabouter or Kaboutertjie.

Stout being naughty in Afrikaans and Kabouter can mean anything from a Leprechaun (Dutch) to a Dwarf, Pixie or Elf.

So I took the word Kabouterjie and changed it to a nonsense word - Kaboutjie and made that my business name.

Thanks for the birthday wishes Donnie :) You will figure out Twitter easily once you spend a bit of time playing around with it.

Hi Mary

It is great to meet you and thank you for the birthday wishes :) it was a great one!

Yes for sure, pop your website in a reply or inbox me - I will take a look :)

I'm sure you will make your goal of making a full time income online. All it takes is some time, lots of learning and lots of hard work.

Thank you I really appreciate you taking a look at my site I need some feedback on it because I have made some mistakes on duplicating content so I am fixing that right now and doing some research on some articles as well. I will PM you my URL address.

And you are so very welcome it was my pleasure, Lynne.

Mary

There are so many things we do when we first start out that we then need to go back and straighten out at a later date. I could write a book on all the little things I could have done differently! I will take a look as soon as I can :)

That is great no rush take your time I understand that you are busy like I said no rush. I realize now some of the mistakes that I have made but I am in the middle of fixing them now. No biggie I am still learning of course so I am not worried.

Mary

You will always be learning :) I am too, every single day!

Yes, that is so true we are learning every day. Thank you so much for your help. I really appreciate that so very much.

Mary

Lauren thank you for such a beautiful birthday message, it means the world to me. So much for keeping it quiet right? LOL I guess it's time to update my profile to the big 40 :)

Hi Kevin

LOL I have some tricks up my sleeves :) Firstly I don't write them all! I make use of content writers and I also publish guest posts so don't get too impressed.. its not all me! Yes I push the publish button with every one but I don't write them all :)

And regarding any special techniques - I followed the training here and I learned and I practiced. The trick is to keep learning and applying all the time. Everything you need is right here at WA!

Okay that eases my mind just a little, you were right about this being a little overwhelming in the beginning LOL. Definitely going to stick with this community training if it can produce the level of success you've achieved! Eager to get back to work now. Thanks for the reply!

Hi Chuck

Congrats on your sobriety, that is amazing :)

Hi Chuck, yes - me too. Had to be done. Kudos to you for doing it. All my family are dead because they didn't. Such a waste of humanity.
L.

Yes we have also had losses in our family due to addiction. It is so sad. I am sorry for your losses.

Thank you, but no need, we are past that now. But the debate about addiction, of any kind, is always going to be valid for those who still struggle.
All the best.
L.

Hi Zarina

Things are going great thanks! Just so busy!

Yes you add your new account as a collaborator to the boards you want shown on your new account - I manage everything from my personal Pinterest account and only ever log into my business ones when I want to accept invites to boards!

Kind regards
Lynne

Aaah, that!! Thanks so much for getting back to me! I know you're super busy with your businesses and appreciate you getting back to me on this :)

Hope you have a great rest of the week!

- Zarina

You too Zarina :)

Hi Richard :) Thanks for your kind words. It's always wonderful to connect with other South Africans here. It is such an amazing opportunity especially with the rate of unemployment and also the strength of our currency. Earning in USD is such a pleasure!

Hi Rebecca

Thanks for your kind words :) There are so many people that have struggled with mental health issues, including addiction!

Best wishes for the festive season and I hope you have a wonderful 2019 <3

Hi Kirsten

It's lovely to meet you :)

My main business is quite a broad niche of parenting/ family... anything really that moms would be interested in, including things like health, weight loss, home decor and gardening!

Then I have a few more websites - one about making money online, one about addiction, one about coconut products (I like coconuts) another is a directory website for our local towns....

Hi Rob

It's lovely to meet you!

What an amazing goal, I am sure that you will be able to do that if you set your mind to it :)

Hi Adam - your BIC is the same as SWIFT - it is the international code for your bank :) So type your bank name into Google and add SWIFT afterwards and you should very quickly find it :)

awesome. your so damn helpful!!!!!! thank you again so much. this is a nifty little thingamagig to get paid from amazon.
love & smiles,
ads

It's a pleasure :) Yeah it is nifty and sure beats waiting till you get $100 and then for the check to actually arrive!!

Hi Richard :)

It is lovely to meet you. Congrats on getting started here, it may seem like a long time before anything happens with your online business but when you get there and you look back at the process you will be amazed at how beautifully this works!

Let me know if there is anything I can help you with!

Great meeting you too, Lynne. You're right, it seems like it's forever in one area sometimes, but the community here is encouraging. There's always someone that jumps in for the rescue ;-)

It does feel like forever - here's a post I wrote in February 2016 so just under 3 years ago..... and today I am making a full time income from my business. I'm no millionaire but my business goes from strength to strength each month! The Frustration of Waiting for Success!

I went to read the above post, Lynne. I kind of expected to be at least one year to start to see something. Let's just say 5 years to full time, I'd still say way better than still working at my current job in the next 5 years. When WA becomes full time by then, it would be nice to be anywhere in the world and still get paid full pay.

I set my mind to focus only on what I'm going to learn in WA, not the money for at least a couple of years. The good thing is once I have acquired the knowledge, they're going to stay with me forever

Then you will do great. So many people put their focus on making money. I always say forget about the money, focus on learning and on helping others. The money will fall into place when you do that!

The time to do this (WA) is when you still have a stable income in order to not cram for the money. Frustration is at its peak when money is in the way. You're right, $ is inevitable anyway when the focus is in the right place.

Hi Llewelyn - yes it is a lot of money, especially for us in SA with the exchange rate! However this is an investment into your future and yes it will work if you follow all the training step by step. There are so many amazing things you can do online and while many programs make lots of promises of riches and success, WA really delivers.

You will need to put the work in and it won't happen overnight so you can expect to be paying for a while with no visible return, but I promise you that WA delivers and you can succeed.

So yes I do recommend that you go to Premium, it is something I am more than happy to pay personally.

And I am here to help you any time and answer your questions!

But if you are not ready yet also remember that there is no pressure to upgrade, you can stay a starter member for as long as you like until you are ready and comfortable with upgrading.

Yes you won't have access to the community soon, or the next training levels but you are not kicked out and you don't have to upgrade yet. Make sure that this is what you want for yourself right now :)

hi lynne okay i will be looking at my finances next month then ill decide. themadmancave.siterubix check my site out so far and tell me what you think. yes it is like you say its a long term investment.

Hi Llewelyn :) yes it is a long term investment for sure!

Your website looks great so far. You need to add more content and you can continue with that while you are a starter member :)

Thank you so much for your help we will be losing contact for a short while. But ill be back.

You can always find me through my profile :) My websites are listed there. Also note that all the training that I publish here is available to starter members, so if you are interested in learning some more while you are a starter member have a browse through the training on my profile.

Hi Tim

That must be tough parenting children with muscular dystrophy, but you can help others and make an income at the same time. What an awesome thing to do right?

Congrats on your sobriety - it is amazing to see how many members here are in recovery!

Thanks Lynne. Appreciate ya :)

I'm not sure if it would constitute a copyright infringement but I don't think so if they are your personal cards. You don't say what type of cards they are.

I use images from free image websites and shutterstock :)

So when you create your own pins for Pinterest, you are using images from places like pixabay? Somehow I got the idea you used other images that you found yourself.

Nope, I use stock images and then I add them to Canva and create my own unique designs :)

Hey Mark

It took me a moment to remember it was my addiction website I published that article on and not my main business website lol.

Yes of course you are welcome to link to my article :)

Kind regards
Lynne

Hi Shweta

I have only ever added links to pdf's that I create in Canva but I have not done anything more than that. I wouldn't know how to embed html code using Canva or anything else.

I wish I could help you more but that's all I know how to do! Maybe pop Canva a question they are very helpful from my past experience with them.

Kind regards
Lynne

You are welcome to ask questions Markus! The easiest is if you ask the Q on the training that you are busy with :) This helps me and it helps others too!

Thanks Lynne for the reply and I'll do that.

I think I am the most mentioned in your blogs LOL! Thanks for the shout out!

Hi Taresa

Links can be so confusing for lots of people when they start blogging. Yes of course you can add links to your content and also affiliate links.

The trick is not to overdo it especially when you first start blogging. Adding a huge amount of outgoing links, and a huge amount of affiliate links when you first start out is not going to be appreciated by Google.

That doesn't mean that you can't add links to your content. Start off with a few links and go easy on adding affiliate links in the beginning and as your website traffic starts increasing and as Google starts to trust you more you can add more links.

The other thing to look at is that you want a nice ratio of incoming links (as in links from other websites to your website) as you have going out.

If you have 5000 outgoing links and you only have 10 incoming links this is not good.

As you build out your website and become an authority in your niche more and more people will naturally start linking to your website and then you can being linking out more.

I have quite a well established website that Google likes so I add quite a lot of affiliate links to my posts. But I still do not add affiliate links to every post I write.

I hope that makes sense to you and that I didn't confuse you even more.

Thank you. Yes it is confusing. I have only put one or two links in a post so far. I use a products page for links to the products and refer to the products page in most posts... striving to get there...

That is perfect :)

Hi Regina :) Thanks for the mention, I am flattered. No need to ask permission. We are all trying to build a name for ourselves and to grow into an authority, mentioning me helps me to get my name out here so thank you.

So kind of you. I am privileged to associate with one as successful as you on this platform. I wish you greater heights in your endeavours.
Many thanks.

Hi Danuta

I will take a look but your url appears to be added incorrectly, I can't access your site :) please share your url again with me and I will take a look soonest.

Hi Joe

Thanks for the compliment :) Yes isn't it amazing how we can make money while having fun doing what we know best? I think it is incredible.

Excited much! Personal growth, time freedom, financial freedom.
Yes absolutely, the next 6months to 1year is gonna be a great growth curve for me. Trying to learn the necessary skills from WA so I can express and present what's in my head, into a lighthearted, engaging and useful website. I'm really looking forward to the person I will develop into and the many benefits for my family.

You have such a great attitude Joe and an understanding of the time and effort it will take to get to your goals. I am sure you will do great. Just shout if you need any help with anything!

I understand how super-duper busy you must be Lynne. So I really do appreicate your offer. I will call out if required. Thanks heaps for your time and your kind words of encouragement. You rock!!

I am busy and I might be slow to respond but I will always reply as soon as I can Joe :) Have a killer weekend!

Hi Shwana

You need to add a social sharing plugin for people to easily share your content. I don't know which plugin has the Pinterest button that follows you though! You will have to research that and find out. I use Social Media Feather on two of my websites and its quite nice :) On another of my websites the theme comes with social features.

Thank you. I will have to do some research to see if my social sharing plugin does this. If not, I will have to change it.

Hi Nick

You should be able to find those boards on your profile along with your boards? When you pin something you will get a list of boards coming up - they should be in that list? Otherwise you have been removed from those boards.

Thanks Lynne! How stupid of me, I looked for their names and I just saw their board names.

Hi Nicolaas :) No worries, it can take a while to get your head around Pinterest. It took me ages.

I have a blog about addiction and alcoholism, you can access it here:
https://lynnelivingwithaddiction.com

Welcome to WA Eric, I am sure you are going to love it here and find an amazing way to make money online from home :)

Thanks for connecting, if you struggle with anything feel free to pop a question here on my timeline :)

Thank you, Lynne.

Wow Judson, your mom sounds like she was a remarkable woman. I am so glad to hear that your daughter is sober, and I am so sorry to hear about her breast cancer. It is hard dealing with medical things sober, I have not had to deal with anything even close to severe as breast cancer but I was in hospital earlier this year for an ectopic pregnancy and it was incredibly hard to cope, both physically and emotionally.

Thanks for connecting, it is lovely to meet you.

Hi, thanks for the reply. Yes my mother was unique. That was horrible and painful what you experienced in your pregnancy, another chapter story to write about on motherhood.

I've already written a couple of posts about it on my parenting website and one on my addiction website - its healing :)

Hey Ali :) thanks for stopping by. I am glad you are enjoying my content!

Have a great week!

Hey Rob

A blog post and an article is the same thing :) Here are some ways to add Amazon products and ads to your website: How To Add An Amazon Banner To Your Sidebar How To Add Amazon Ads To Your Posts Of course you will need to apply for an Amazon affiliate account before you can add these ads, plus you will need to follow the training here to be able to gain traffic to your website before you apply for you affiliate account with Amazon.

Hi William

Thanks for connecting and I am so sorry to hear about your record, that really is unfortunate. However don't let that get you down or hold you back for one minute. You are in recovery now, early or not, and you can make the changes you need in your life. You are so fortunate to have found this platform, for me it has been so much more than just a place to learn - the community is so amazing and supportive. It feels like home. Send me your email address, I would love to send you the ebook I wrote.

Hi Shirley :)

And you had to pick something that I am not very good at?

Ok how do I pick a theme? I like it to be really simple and pretty. That is about it really :)

Honestly I am not the best person to ask about choosing themes!

No worries at all. I'll put it out there and see what happens - I like the simple and pretty too. Thanks heaps.

Its a pleasure :)

I can't understand how the paste would be disabled, that is so strange! I see your message came in 40 minutes ago... are you still struggling? Are you trying to paste using right click on your mouse? Have you tried crtl v?

thanks for reply,
I'm not still trying but have all the relevant pages still open so they be be ready to go, yes Ive tried using right click to paste,
just tried the ctrl v now and the code transferred, then I clicked save but the page is now frozen [there is a little round button beside the save button and its buffeing]

How strange! I hope it comes right soon. I get so annoyed when funny little things happen while I am trying to work. It drives me batty!

yes so right, drives me mega batty
actually I got it to work eventually, as it turned out I think Internet Explorer was the culprit - had that page open in IE where I was inputting the code and the damn thing just froze. [not the first time IE screwed up part of my day]

thanks for training video and your help now

by the way your accent is great...

Oh my word I never use Internet Explorer.... I am glad you got it sorted out :) I'm glad too that you like my accent.

Thanks for the comment Amy, I just saw that came in :) That website is more of a hobby for me than anything else - a place where I can share the things that I have learned being in recovery and getting clean.

It must have been tough for you and your ex husband but I am glad to hear that he is now in recovery!

Thank you...! All the best in health and peace...

Jill you will catch on so quickly, yes in the beginning it can seem overwhelming but you will get there. Just take one thing at a time and tackle it.

Hi Chris we are so not alone here at WA, I can't even count the amount of people in the fellowship I have connected with here :) I love seeing so many fellow addicts here making a difference to their lives. Being a part of this community has even strengthened my recovery which has blown my mind away.

Hi Tim

Have you searched yourself for training videos and solutions using the top address search bar? When you ask anyone for advice that is usually what they do to find solutions for you....

Here's a video I found that may help you: Add Affiliate Links to Sidebar in 30 seconds.

Hey John :)

Thanks for the comment on my website and for connecting here too! It is always nice to connect with fellow recovering alcoholics and addicts. We have a kinship that is hard to explain to people that are "normal" :)

So your clean date is August 2009? Mine is August 2008 :) I can't believe that it will be 10 years this year!

I hope you are enjoying France :) I went there once in 1996 but I don't remember much since I was blotto most of the time!

Farming in the Free State is not exactly safe anymore, so I am sure it was great when you were here but chances are things have changed a lot since then!

Thanks for your response Lynne. That's right, it is not safe anymore to be farming in South Africa, We left because we were fed up going to funerals of neighbours and friends who were murdered for no reason.

I hope that you are safe where you are and we sincerely hope that some day everything will come right again as we have so many friends there. Such a beautiful country!

Take care.

John ツ

I'm quite safe thanks John, I am in Saldanha. My parents are on a farm in Swellendam which is much safer since it is in the Western Cape but I still worry about them so much!

I am coming up on three years, July 27 AGAIN! I have been in the program since 1986. Unfortunately, I have relapsed several times over the years but, "fall down seven times, get up eight.

Congrats on your clean time that is awesome :) It is always great to connect with others in recovery and I have found so many people in WA connecting with me that are also in the program.

I'm not here to judge about relapsing, each person has their own path to follow. The most important thing is that you get back up!

We live literally on the beach, I open our back door and in a few meters we are walking on beach sand... and it was 30 deg celcius today so a nice warm day! Perfect beach weather...

But winter will be here soon, summer is basically over and March is the beginning of Autumn.

I've never even been in snow before. I so want to do that still. Its on my bucket list. Hubby and I are planning a trip in winter to an area a few hours away that gets snow sometimes in winter, we want to build snowmen with our kids.

Ahhh a beach, that sounds so nice :) I told my husband that I was very tempted to make a snowman today, as the snow is perfect for it right now. He just smiled and said 'go for it, as long as I don't have to". I haven't made a snowman since my children were small.

Oh that sounds divine! Mine are already in the oven :)

My son LOVES the blueberry muffins I make and when I picked him up from playschool he asked me to make some for him. I am such a sucker for my little boy :)

mmmm my husband loves blueberry muffins too :) Your little boy is blessed :) I have two sons, all grown up, but I have a grandson who is turning 8, I spoil him when he visits :)

Hey Steven :)

Thanks!

My best suggestion would be for you to check out the top ranking gigs for the type of services you want to offer and see how they have set out their gigs and pricing.

That will give you an idea of what works well - so you can use that as a base for setting up your gigs - as inspiration but don't copy their gigs exactly of course. Try and add something unique to what you offer so you stand out.

Then also check out their forums and the Fiverr academy - that is what I did :)

Kind regards

Lynne

Thanks for the great tips. Will definatly try that and give it a shot.
Really appreciate the advice.
Thanks again.

Steven

Any time Steven and good luck!!

I'm glad you like my website :) I'm not sure which one you looked at though. Just keep in mind that I have had my parenting website for nearly 6 years and it has over 800 posts and over 30 pages. This has given me a lot of time to play around and to get my site how I want it :)

Your site is very new so it is not easy to review and give feedback. The main thing you need to do is continue with the training and add content.

Some things that did stand out for me is that your privacy policy and about me pages are both missing - this is really essential and I would work on that as a matter of urgency!

YAY! I am so so happy for you Lauren, you so deserve it and I am so glad that I could help you make your first $100 day! It feels awesome doesn't it.... now you need to work on making MORE :)

It can be done and you will do it, I know that for a fact. It has been awesome sharing tips and info with you!

We still have to meet for real next time I make it into Cape Town!

Welcome to WA Joseph - I see from your profile you are really enjoying it here and learning at a great pace :) That is awesome. I promise you that there are good things coming if you work hard and stick with learning everything you can here.

Congrats on your clean time,that is brilliant!

Thankyou!!! When joining WA only a couple of months ago I didn't expect it would completely change my outlook on life. Great community and I have barely started : )

I know exactly what you mean, this community has changed my life in more ways than I can count. Yes I am earning a full time income but the communication with like-minded people on a regular basis keeps my glass full if you know what I mean?

Just know that if you keep at it, then it will happen. Sometimes progress is slow but everything you do is building on foundation of your business!

Perhaps get some feedback from the community on your website and perhaps you will find some great feedback helps you to move forward with regards to making some income?

Thanks for your words of encouragement :)

Congrats on making the change Marilyn :) That is so exciting. If I can inspire you to work hard and make your business work then my job is done for today.

It is lovely to meet you Pernilla. I hope you are enjoying your journey here at Wealthy Affiliate.

I've never been to Sweden, but I did spend a few days in Switzerland in 1996 and it was so beautiful :)

If you need help with anything let me know!

Yes, I love it here at WA!

How nice that you've been in Switzerland. I have never visited South Africa, but it's for sure on my "must-see-places" list!

Had a look at your websites. You are very productive! They all look very good an professional! I surely can learn a lot from you.

Please, let me know if you need any help as well.
:-)
