hi Lynne, thank you for your honest share. It's lovely meeting you and following your journey here.
I'm living in Aus now, but hail from Africa myself - Rhodies -> SA -> Ireland -> Oz. Where in SA are you?
I wish you every success in everything.
All the best
Gary

Hi Lynne and all who are reading now and into the future...
It is my wish to see and hear that one day, soon enough, most of us who are here at WA are addicted to not only finding Success but living it. :)

It is inspring to see peeps like you who is able to conquer the inner mountain.
Carpe Diem
Steve

Very nice. People like you encourage me to continue and never doubt. I am very touched by your description here and I always want to visit south Africa, maybe one day i'll go visit when I start making money online. Well I wish you the best . Keep up the good work.

Nice!!
I'm a recovering addict of five years, thought I haven't even touched on that subject yet. My first website is all about Crohn's disease and eating healthy. I know the addiction issue will be a part of that at some point.
Anyway, great job staying sober!! You're an inspiration for a lot of people out there!
I also love the fact that you're making a living full-time online, I knew it was possible!!! I'm also an avid reader and enjoy writing.
Best Wishes!!
Sean

Lynne, Share this with you ladies and followers:

You need to aim beyond what you are capable of. You need to develop a complete disregard for where your abilities end. If you think you’re unable to work for the best company in its sphere, make that your aim. If you think you’re unable to be on the cover of TIME magazine, make it your business to be there.

Hi Lynne, really enjoyed the youtube video I found as soon as I spelled your name correctly.

I am an overweight Banter and if you get a comment on a pimple, who knows what will come my way, but I am determined to do Youtube. My first video try of a Banting recipe was fantastic, just filmed in portrait not landscape hehehe.

BTW the decaff coffee thing was probably due to the chemicals they use to create normal decaf coffee. you have to look for Swiss water method decaf?? I don't drink coffee or tea.

Very blown away, how on earth do you manage 100 000 subscribers on one website and still have time for everything else.
Good luck skattie

I just looked at your addict website and I left this comment:

WOW!!! WOW!!! WOW!!! I’m actually speechless which is a rare thing for me. I can’t say anymore at this time. I can’t see the screen for the tears. Yes, Men do cry and I’m not ashamed. It’s a way to wash away the sorrow I have for you.You are so,F**kING, brave. I’m so proud of you as my new, best, friend.

Later, LMW

P.S. Had to clean it up. I was rejected earlier.

I'm getting pretty put-out with trying to upgrade my site. I need some help with the home-page with pick, etc.

I changed themes also. I want to replace the pic that came with it.

How simple is it to change. and (I have my menu like I want it but,)
the content is not arranged with the menu. ??

Lynne, Happy to meet you, again. This is my second time around. I came back primarily because of you and the many words I've read from you. I remember you from the first time and I know you are a brilliant lady, so I will be following you and asking questions. If you have time, please respond.

First I would like to applaud you on your 8 years of recovery. I work in the mental health field with veterans and I see addiction on a daily basis.

This is my first go around with WA and I am also trying to make this my full time job, so I cam stay home with my 17 month old little boy.

I am just weary on how the making money part works. Can you give me some insight on this part? Please and thank you.

Hi, Lynne. I just watched your training video on add images in WP and heard from your accent that u are from South Africa and see it is confirmed when I read your bio. It is fantastic that u have been in recovery for so long. I am from Port Elizabeth but am living in the USA for now. All my family is still in South Africa. Anyway just wanted to say thank you and if u don't mind I would like to follow u, being a fellow South African.
I wish u great success in all that u do and good luck. :)

Honest, heartfelt and AWESOME!

One day at a time is the only way to go, adversity sometimes reveals who we really are inside and each of us has the capacity for greatness.

Congratulations on your triumphs and kudos for being honest enough to be a shining beacon of hope to others who may not have found their true path yet.

Have an amazing journey :D

How are you and your family doing? I am also an alcoholic and compulsive gambler. Wonder why I've never been married or had a single girlfriend or dating partner in my whole life. Ah, hell, Lynne, what difference does it make now? My severe kidney disease will insure a very quick and painless death.

Hi Lynne, just loved your profile i thought this is the person to speak hope you wont get tired of my questions :) tell me in South Africa does the WA work?Im new here im still going thru the videos and then upgrade when i have the clue of what im doing:)

Hi Lynne, you were kind enough to leave a comment on my Forex site the other day. As a result of some of what you said I created another post. I am not chasing comments, just thought you might like to read it.

Here is the link http://starttradingforex.org/stop-loss-definition-your-best-trading-friend

Thanks again, Gordon

Hi Lynne,

Ok, I'm here and slowly going through the lessons in the get started, Because its holidays and baby is obviously at home its been a bit difficult to find the time :P
I'll be asking 100's of questions once I'm into it completely as its all little terrifying lol.

Hi Lynn - gosh we sound like the same person - I am also from South Africa, living in recovery - also sober 8 years ... well actually 8 years, 4 months and 22 days ... but whose counting ... ME ... have similar passions ... well let's hope I can be as successful as you in affiliate marketing - nice to connect ... where in SA do you live?

Hello Lynne, Glad to meet you! I always love hearing moms say their first passion is their kids, mine as well! I am a writer actually, I write romance stories..lol...well, somebody has to! :)
Oh dear, I am such a dreamer, and I love it! It's wonderful that you are past your addictions, that must have taken superhuman strength! BRAVO! You seem to have accomplished so much here, I hope you won't mind me "pestering" you with a million questions! LOL ...no, don't worry, I won't be a pest, but I do hope you won't mind me stopping by for advice!

God Bless you and your family!

Hi, Lynne.

What's up?

I have been busy trying to incorporate an opt-in page. Finally, I did it.

While updating all my posts and pages, I notice that your video that I embedded is no longer available. The SmashFund Review video.

Do you have a new link?

BTW, do you mind checking up my opt-in form and see if it works? It require you to sign-up for 7 days course.

This is the link: http://theonlinebusinessnow.com/hello

Lynne:
I read all your blogs: you are very knowledged. I learn from you. Thank you.
I am just a newbie and would like to learn how to make a earning with my blog. (natural health)
Do you have a practical advise for me?
Do you have specific training on how to set a blog for that purpose?
Thank you much.
Best/Phil

Hi Lynne,

I've proceeded well on the training and began my website today-Decided to do something similar to yours i.e;
How to start Small Online Business Successfully, though my problem is getting content to put on the pages.Did you get all your content at once or was it cumulative to what you have to this day. Kindly help on this one

Hi LynneHuy you may the person I want to ask a question about posting.Here in WA my feeling is that the suggestion is to post as often as you can. Number one is posting writing an article about your niche as often as possible and integrating it your site at a certain length? How do you add it your site?(hopefully this is not a dumb question. My reason for asking you is that you post alot and I need some direction, I have not written a thing since I put up my site.which has been a month.The reason being is that my site deals with foot problems and I started by writing about gout and I do not know if I should just write about that which the idea is to get them to purchase a cure for gout. I can go to other foot problems but that means I would have to suggest a different product for them to buy.The other thing is how many articles could I write about gout and people would find interesting. I thought once one set up their site that was it apparently not.Hopefully I have not taken alot of your time and understand what I am asking. Thank you very much

Hi Lynne....
WOW do we have things in common. I started taking drugs when I was 11 and finally quiet when I was 29 which was surprisingly easy. Alcohol was always in the picture, my father gave me my first drink when I was 5 and has been my friend up to about 6 months ago when my body started to break down. Now I can actually see the lite at the end of the tunnel but know that I have to watch myself every second of the day!
I just wanted to introduce myself, my name is Stephan and I’ve been involved in Real Estate Investing the last 9 years and just want a change. Tired of Tenants’, Toilets and Real Estate programs that just nickel and dime you to death : 0(
I was checking out another Internet Marketing Program on line that promised you the world in 3 months so I googled it & found out it was a SCAM but in return the guy that wrote the scam article redirected me to WA and I’m so glad he did. I REALLY LIKE WHAT I SEE!!!!
I’m looking forward to working with WA & the Community to make WA my full time job. Saying that I have no previous IM experience, I’m very excited to see where this JOURNEY will take me!!!!
Happy Mothers Day Lynne!!!
Hope to see you around,
Stephan

Lynne, it is so refreshing of you to "bare your sole" on your site. My husband is also an alcoholic, with many years sober. He, like you, talks about it freely and welcomes questions.

I am extremely proud of both of you for owning your issues and seeing the need to repair them. It's not easy, and you are to be commended. Hats off to you!

I was just checking through the list of people that are following me and found that I have neglected to follow you back, I have done so now. Please accept my humble apology.

I hope it is going well for you and your earnings are increasing.

I realize that being a survivor of addiction is a day to day thing but I am sooooooo glad that you have been able get back on track and be an amazing mom/wife to your family.

Good bless and all the best to you and your family.

Great Reading about your explanation about Autoresponders.
I just wanted to know when you send Newsletters to your Subscribers What mail Id will appear when your subscribers get mails from you..
eg If your mail Id is lynne@gmail.com will subscribers see like this.
Should mail ids look professional? What do you recommend?
& How to have a professional mail Id.?
I am asking this because I am thinking of starting Email marketing.Since you have recommended that it should be done.
& also your advice will be helpful to the entire WA community who do not know much about Autoresponders..

Hi Lynne,I'm sorry it's taken me so long to reply,but between troubles I was learning to overcome with my site. And the various trouble my two grown and married boys keep bringing my way, I've been kind of busy. Anyhow,thanks for the follow and I'm following you as well!

Just read your profile. I am following you and will be reading your works. I am an older 78 // WA newbie. I hope you will read my profile, blogs and follow me follow me. Bigger network = Bigger help for ALL! This is all new to me. I have found amazing people on WA. Please let me know when you update your profile or publish. 28 years friend of Bill's--best to you

Hi Lynne,
I noticed that you left a list of signature urls and links at the end of your post. Last month I had my write access revoked 2x and still don't know exactly why but I was told it was for self promotion and all I did was leave a link to my inspirational video site, thinking everyone would get blessed by going there.
Did you ever get called on this?
Let me tell you revoked, sucks and I am still "blog shy" about it. Incidentally, would you mind giving me you critique of my leanrhowtomakemoneyonline.net site. I am about 90% finished with it (I think)

hi Lynne, Sorry to hear that you are having issues with the retail side. I had a very quick look at your website and it look great. Regarding your suppliers, they need to understand that you are the client. I would love to chat further and if you're willing pick your brain regarding retail as I am thinking that will be the way forward for me.

Hi Lynne! I am in the middle of a general brain freeze with a side of writer's block lately so I decided to spend some time in the community looking for a spark of motivation. While surfing around I stumbled onto one of your blogs which I liked so much that I began reading more and visited a couple of your websites.
You rock!
Keep posting please.
Kari

Hello, Lynne, You are amazing! I checked out the http://lynnelivingwithaddiction.com website and can't believe How far you have come. Then, I looked at http://smallonlinebusinessopportunity.com. I have never seen a better laid-out site and all the information on it. I can't believe you aren't making money on that site. If not, then, I can never hope to make any money, I am so far inferior in building sites.

All I can say is "You Go, Girl." You deserve all you ever earn.

P.S. In my lessons, I'm supposed to give two comments on someone's site and get two in return. Would you, please look at my site and make a little comment? Thank you in advance.

Hello Lynne ... thank you for the follow. I admire your spirit for life. Has any one ever commented that you look a lot like Helen Hunt? Google her and you will see yourself looking back at you :-).

You've come a long way since joining WA less than a year ago ... my guess is you hit the bricks running with your previous blogging and site building experience.

I wish you the best on your WA journey.

Good morning thanks for the follow nice to see yo again. You have a beautiful daughter just like her mom. Your dreams will soon become your reality.

Congratulations Lynne on your achievements. I am in the very early stages of Bootcamp. Attempting to complete my foundation pages of my first site. I have a long road ahead, but with the support of WA, I know that soon I will have my website up up and running. My goal is to start with promoting WA.
I will follow you in the community. Surrounding myself with people that achieve success and helping those that I can, will help me find my way.
Good to know you,

Hi there Lynne, thanks for the follow , aswell as adding me to your network. I too have been here for quite some time but im only really starting with the WA training now . Yes its a very exciting venture we are on here at WA. Heres wishing you a highly successfull 2016 , take care, Johan

Hi Lynne, Thank you very much for following me. I truly appreciate the support. I'm really looking forward to utilizing everything I'm learning. I'll def take some time to say hi on one of the Social Networks..something I'm working on doing more. Never been much into it so like "SITTING" it's something I'm learning to conquer lol for me it's more like..."Get ON your butt instead of OFF" hehe

Hi Lynne, thanks for connecting. I have sent you a friend request on fb as this is my social media place of choice.
Your website looks very informative and I like that you review the good and the bad. Looking forward to getting to know you better as I get more involved. This is only day 3, so still lots to do.

Jules <3

Hi Lynne,
I read on another post that you are a 'sharp cookie and somebody to follow' so I am now following you!
I've only been on here for a week and just starting to create my first pages. I know I am in the right place. Wishing you all the best.
Richie

Hi, glad to meet me, lol.

I wanted to take a moment to thank you for following me.

I’m pretty impressed with WA training and I think we have found a gold mine of information. Hmmm, seems like geniuses like us tend to gather in the same place (lol).

I started making money online in 2004. WA wasn't around back then. I had to learn from scratch. What took me 2 years to accomplish online, you will be able to do in a couple of months if you are new to running an online business.

The wealth of knowledge here in the tutorials and the help from fellow WA members is exceptional. I have never met a bunch of like-minded people who are so eager to help yet ask nothing in return.

When I came to WA in February 2015, I was skeptical. Seen enough online scams in my time. I searched high and low for "the catch." There was none. I learned WA is legitimate. There is no pressure to upsell me more products or services. That was refreshing.

Anyway Lynne, here’s wishing you all my best for your success with online marketing.

Please feel free to send me a private message if there is anything I can do for you.
