Two and One-half Months IN My Accomplishments
An Update with Things Learned
I have only been with WA for two and half months now but it feels like so much longer. I do training and work on my websites every single day.
I help out in Live Chat as much as I can because I feel paying it forward for everything I am receiving here from all the experienced members should go to newer members than I or possibly even some who have been here longer than I.
More experienced members think that because I have set up four websites than I cannot handle them; but I must change subjects often or I get very bored and I would quit and I am not doing that not now.
Doing four websites takes time and dedication; posting to each of them regularly is not an easy task. I have set up two niche sites and two sites for which to promote WA. I do not ignore any of them.
At times finding things to post on either the niche sites or WA sites can be difficult; how many times I have researched what should be added? Lost count after a couple of weeks but the research really does help.
What is the most difficult thing for me is using keywords properly this would be my downfall at WA. I am not one to hide my head in the sand; I know I have many faults this one is probably the biggest issue I am having.
Two of my web sites are in the Site Health is Pretty Good rating and the other two are in the Site Health is Getting Better rating. I feel that more work is always needed even if I have excellent Site Health postings will continue to be added.
As time changes daily so does the internet, so for all the new people just coming into WA, never give up this works I am proof with work comes rewards.
You new people first question coming to mind would be "Have you made any money yet?" the answer is "No, however, I do not feel that this is unusual it takes time." being a new content writer Google, Bing, nor Yahoo recognizes me as a value to their customers yet.
When I came here this was a dream I have carried for years; but had no clue how or what to do without WA I would still be searching to find the answers. Years wasted along with money spent on too many scams fortunately for me I never went for the up sales!
Wealthy Affiliates has given me a purpose in life that I cannot express the gratitude, hopefulness, joy, usefulness, purpose I now have going forward.
Thankful for those members who take the time helping, encouraging, supporting, but most of all just being here for me means success is coming!
For those of you in doubt of anything here do not be as one of the experienced members says: "The world is your oyster!" enjoy every minute.
I am a terrible writer this I already know; my style is to write as I would carry on a conversation not the perfect way to write pages (articles) or posts. Getting the message across in plain easy to read language I have found for me works.
Thank you all for taking the time to read my post, possibly I added some pointers here that will help someone.

Whom would you rather trust?A person who you connect with or someone who tries to sell you something?Your writing style in a conversational manner is more effective when you use that style of writing to convince one of your visitors to buy from you. Keep it going Susan!
Mr. White,
Thank you so very much kind sir for pointing this out; that never came to my mind.

Hey there Susan
You are being to hard on yourself when you think your style of writing is not good. I went to a website that grades websites yesterday and found out my sites are considered advanced sites the wording I use is geared toward 11th graders to prep college it suggested that I go back and replace some of the more complex words with more common wording within the blogs, through out my posts - not.
The website informed me that the typical newspaper and magazines are only written on a fifth - sixth grade level, something I did not know. And will definitely apply from here on out for everything I write (college was the last formal writing I did hence the grade level of my writing).
I have also heard the best blogs are written as if the author is sitting next to you having a conversation with you. So I would image that your sites will probably receive a better grade than mine did. this is another point that I must strive to improve on.
Four sites, if that what makes you happy than go for it, I have four and I am content with that (of course two of mine have already matured) so it is a little easier for me than your four brand news sites. But that's okay if that is what its going to take to keep you interested and consistent then I say you go for it girl more power to you!!
Don't be so concerned what our people think, most people here are good natured but not everyone has your best interest at stake!
Heading for the sky,

Calvin,
As always my hero, thank you for the wonderful words of encouragement. I am very content doing all four and as you see I am keeping up very nicely due to the amount of time I have to spend working on them.
My sites are all like growing children to me so you naturally feed them and they will grow :)
Susan :)
Yes yes they will Susan, and as soon as I finish that training for you they will all look pretty again LOL
I'm working on it right now! ;-)

Hi Marley, I too find keyword research the hardest part. I follow kyles lessons when doing the research but I second guess myself on with phrase to use. I bow to you though, 4 websites, that is amazing. I hope to run 2 but I am too slow to try more. I can see the advantage of not growing bored with writing though. As for the money part, everything I read is stay patient, it will happen. It sounds like you are adding content regularly so it is probably just a matter of time.

Hey Marley,
We all do what works best for us. For me personally having 4 websites wouldn't work but if that's what works for you then don't let what others think affect your decision.
You are being very realistic about it taking time to earn income. I wish it would be faster but the way I look at it is that blessings come to those who wait!!!

Great most post :) i’m only about 2 weeks ahead of you. I just hit my 3 months here and honestly I have no idea where the time went.
Oh man four websites, I have two right now and I feel like I have a handful just with the two and the 8 social media accounts that goes with the two website seems to be as much as I personally can handle right now.
As far as keywords, I only do my research for my title, and drop the keyword once in the beginning and write naturally. Seems to have worked out pretty well so far.
Honestly you seem to write fine just based off reading this post. Don’t doubt yourself, a positive mindset carries you through the tough times that will come up.
Thanks for those kinds words; I guarantee I put much more time in at WA than you have to spend here. I am a widow and the only responsibilities I have are myself and my three fur babies. Basically WA is my life LOL :)
Well that does make a lot of sense how you can rotate between 4 different websites then lol. If I could shed off this day job i’m sure I can handle a bit more.
