Bootcamp Progress: Week 1

Boy, have things changed on Wealthy Affiliate!

I'm relearning the platform and it's going to be fun. When I joined WA in 2018, I built a website to advertise my business. I wrote articles about learning English mostly, because that was want my customers were interested in. Now, I've started the Affiliate Bootcamp because that day job has practically disappeared, partially due to changes in the industry, but mostly due to my involvement in my parents' healthcare.

Firstly, the translation industry is still morphing, and who knows where it will go. I hope people can begin to understand that having human translators in the loop is important. Maybe when I learn to leverage AI in my writing, I can bring that expertise into my translation segment. My teaching business always slows down in the summertime, but with me changing locations, I don't know how many of my regular customers will be coming back. I'm already talking to people, and there are lots of opportunities here - even for teaching Italian!

Second, I decided to take care of my parents when my mom fell in November 2023. Since then, I've been living in their old house and making sure they had what they needed. So now, WA Bootcamp is the perfect idea for starting over.

This week:

I built Home Business Haven (homebizhaven.com) to teach people how to build their online business. I'll be talking about website building, Wealthy Affiliate (of course), mindset, and different essential aspects.

I spent most of the week setting up menus and writing necessary pages. I have one post up so far.

I created my logo and a few images with DesignPop, and I'm learning to set up blocks in the Generate Press theme.

I need help with:

Child pages: what are they and how do I create them?

Getting my content to show up in the right places on my menu.

Putting bullet lists with links in my posts.

I can't wait to try:

Bulk writing and inserting affiliate links.

Experimenting with different themes (I like Generate Press because it looks sleek)

Writing a good Wealthy Affiliate review.

Creating an editorial calendar so I don't lose focus.

Next week:

I'll let you know how this week goes. If you can help me out, please leave a comment.
