Hiatus!
I am debating with myself and discussing with my wife about going on a hiatus from WA. I'm just really struggling to find the money for WA (its about $70 per month here) and it is quite a burden on us each time it rolls over and I often miss it first time around. I also have to be realistic I have been here around 4 months and only made $12 so far which doesn't bother me I know it takes time but things are just going on that make the money tight and and time tight also.
Therefore I have come up with a semi solution without giving up. I am currently working on an E book and wanting to launch a website to advertise and sell it as well as keep at my current site and nag my wife to get me content to build this up. My plan is to suspend my WA subscription, back up my current site via FTP and go away for 6 - 12 months (I really don't know what sort of time frames I am going to get to work on all this and am going to have to come up with some sort of schedule) and work on all this content and the book and get it all ready for launch to make a strong comeback with all 3 sites with plenty of launch content and roll out content that will really help with coming in strong very quickly.
Doing this will release a bit of money pressure and pressure off me to perform and having roll out content will give me time to look into all the training WA has to offer rather than flounder behind just trying to get some articles out.
Support for me will involve a few other communities I have managed to find via Facebook etc and I would really love to find an accountability buddy to help out.
Personal reasons for this involve needing more time for my family as they have been feeling a tad neglected and I have realised this as moods have gotten better and family life has improved while I have been around over christmas. As well as this I am starting dieting and working out as a family as we have become rather computer orientated with mine and my partners work over the last year and we want to set a good example for our growing child and encourage him to be active.
Please let me know your thoughts of this plan I would love to hear from a few of you in regards to this.

The plan sounds ok, but you have to remember that when you leave WA you have 30 days to move your website to a different host. The new site you want to build to sell your book also need hosting. Here at WA the hosting are included in the monthly pay, but outside WA you will have to pay monthly for both sites. Price depends, but for 2 sites you might have to pay at least 20 american dollars every month.......
Also you will not have access to the training here while building your second site......
It comes down to money, if you don't have it, you can't spend it...
I think you should do what feel best for you right now, as you say, you can always come back to WA. Whatever you chose to do, I wish you luck :-)
No I definitely plan on coming back to WA they are a great program, I'm planning on having a break from WA to develop content without the cost over the next while ready for a relaunch
HI MattWood. Have you considered Amazon as your affiliate program? I find Amazon really easy to make sales with. I don't now what your niche is, but if it can be anything about physical products, I don't think it takes much to make $70 mth off Amazon alone. I too was once in your shoes a few years ago, kids on the way, struggling for money and eventually left WA as well. Obviously I came back and will never ever leave now!. Keep pushing and you will get to $100 month, $100 day and even $1000 days. It really does happen. If you can make $12, you make unlimited amounts.., but you gotta keep going day after day. That's just my thoughts..
I am with Amazon, haven't currently made any sales with them but I could be doing something wrong who knows.

I can understand when you have responsibilities of a family, just make sure you back your site up, sorry to see you leave for now and hope everything works out for you , this does take time and the last thing you want is it to come between you and your wife, I know of a couple of members who left due to personal reasons and have since came back, even if your site is no longer here hope you will continue to work on it, either way wish you every success
I really do want to, I think most of all I need this time to re evaluate, figure out how I'm going to make it work and make a strong launch when I come back to make it work
