I didn’t start with a plan. Honestly, I was just curious. I kept hearing about people building online businesses, creating passive income, and working from anywhere—but it all felt a bit like a dream. So, I decided to explore. That’s how I found Wealthy Affiliate.

At first, I had questions. Was this real? Could I really learn how to build a website, attract an audience, and earn money online—even with no tech background?

To my surprise, I could.

I joined Wealthy Affiliate expecting to poke around for a few hours. But I stayed. The training was clear and beginner-friendly. Each lesson built on the next, and I quickly found myself doing things I didn’t think I could—like creating my very first website: www.woofwellnessbites.com, all about healthy dog snacks.

That’s when the fun really started.

Not only did I learn how to build my site step by step, but I also discovered how to find my audience, choose the right keywords, and write helpful blog posts for dog lovers like me. The support from the Wealthy Affiliate community made a huge difference.

My favorite part? Watching my idea turn into something real. I’m now writing articles, building my brand, and sharing healthy treats and tips for happy pups—all from scratch. It's exciting, creative, and empowering.

I’m still at the beginning of my journey, but I already feel like I’ve grown a lot. From just being curious to becoming a confident website owner and content creator—it’s been an amazing ride so far.

Thanks for sharing your journey with WA since joining in May, Marija. It is always encouraging to hear about new members' positive experiences with the platform.

Best wishes for your success here in WA!

PS - I spent twenty-five years living in the mountains of Colorado. I, too, enjoyed skiing for many years.

Thank you so much for the kind words! I’ve really enjoyed my journey with WA so far—such a supportive and inspiring community.

That’s amazing to hear you lived in the mountains of Colorado and love skiing too! I was a professional skier, and still very much in the ski world—I run my own ski school and ski club. It’s always great connecting with fellow ski lovers!

Where do you run your ski school, Marija?

I run my MM ski school and ski club at Kopaonik, Serbia It’s one of the most beautiful ski resorts in the region, and I feel lucky to work there doing what I love!

I have never skied anywhere but in the US. I did a Google search for Kopaonik, and it looks beautiful.

Kopaonik is Serbia’s premier ski resorts, nestled in the stunning Kopaonik National Park. With over 60 km of groomed slopes, modern lifts, superb hotels and cozy mountain lodges, it offers an amazing experience both for seasoned skiers and those trying the sport abroad for the first time.

I used to have a friend in Serbia, was always posting pictures. Beautiful.

Oh great, where exactly from Serbia?

Serbia’s awesome! Still in touch with your friend?

We lost touch about 4 years ago, she was another traffic site admin and we were always surfing for traffic, something that if you don't know how you are likely better off not learning. I can't remember her town but I think it started with an I.

Hi Marja99,
This post mean a lot to me and to others, I suppose. It gives hope and assurance that you're not alone in this journey. No matter your concerns here in WA, there is always a support around the corner.
Great Post.

Thank you so much, Gail! Your words truly mean a lot. Wealthy Affiliate has been such an inspiring space—I’m learning something new every day, and it’s amazing to feel supported while building my little corner of the internet for dog lovers.

Wishing you continued success on your journey too!

You're very welcome. The community support here is truly one of the best things about the platform. You can be inspired one day and supported in your journey the next. And who doesn't need a little of both as they navigate this online world? 😍
