Completed The First Course - My Thoughts

Yesterday I joined Wealthy Affiliates. Just now, I completed the first course.

With most things I do, I throw my self in and fully commit. I saw Wealthy Affiliates and thought I like the look, feel and the methodical approach they are pitching and I instantly upgraded my account to premium.

My background is in WordPress development so getting a site up and running was never an issue for me. My biggest issue is the traffic generation. The first couple of chapters in the first course were very basic for me but it's to be expected due to my background. I do have a knowledge of SEO, in fact, I have a really large knowledge of SEO but I've never been able to apply it to any of my billion sites. I don't know why but for some reason, every method I've ever tried has always failed, and yet, I tell my clients to do a,b,c etc... and it works for them.

Most my clients are Business to Consumer rather than Business to Business. Perhaps this is where I've gone wrong with my traffic methods.

Back to the course.

I started to get interested once I reached the Keyword research section. For some reason, the way it was explained made a few things click or perhaps its the software available which is putting things in perspective for me.

I also found the picking a niche chapter really impressive. Every time I reattempt to do affiliate marketing using niche methods, I've always struggled to find a niche or having the confidence to follow through in a niche BUT for some crazy reason, the way this was explained skipped past my barriers and now I think I've found a really good niche.

Either way, I've found my niche, sorted a domain, setup a site, created my about us and policy pages and now I'm eager to start the next course which I'm praying will go deeper into content creation, and optimizing the text!

I know this sounds a tad cliche but presently, it's not about the money for me. (It's always about the money but it's not my first real goal.)

I've built close to 150 websites over the past 2 years for myself and clients. I have never EVER been able to successfully gain organic traffic. I even own a few Facebook groups with my top one being 35,500+ users with active users and I still struggle with sending that traffic to my websites/related niche websites.

So, if you have not guessed already. My first REAL goal is to have a website which is getting organic regular traffic.

I thought Id keep any weird people interested in my progress informed ;)

Feel free to connect with me.
Thanks for reading
Marty

Hey Marty! I’m really impressed by your progress. You’re a real action taker. I’m glad the course is going well for you so far. You’ll have more guidance on how to gain organic traffic.

But I would highly recommend you to check out this training by Jay: It has helped me rank most of my posts on page one or two of Google. I now have more than 600 organic visitors per day by just following the instructions and executing the tasks.

All the best! I hope this helps :)

Much appreciated Jerry!
What would you recommend I do first?
1) Online Entrepreneur Certification - Level 2 or,
2) 21 Minute Ranking Method in 7 Steps.

I'm currently like a kid in Disney land trying to decide which ride to go on first.

Haha, I would suggest you to follow the level 2 first. The 21 minute ranking method is 7 steps is just a 1 hour+ webinar recording.

After you've completed all the SEO lessons in the OEC then you can watch the webinar at your own pace.
