Be careful
Facebook GROUPS are a great way to increase your traffic. I have been involved with many groups within my niche. I often post my website articles to these groups and they post their.
FB blocked me recently and I fought back. After giving them a piece of my mind, they immediately UNBLOCKED me.
I made the point to them that this is what groups are for. We share helpful information and it is not SPAM (although I do have the ultimate purpose of getting other members to my website via my articles).
Regardless, be careful not to get red flagged. Do not post the same article to like 7-10 groups at the same time. Spread out your Posts and put your articles up onto the groups pages every couple of days. That way, you wont get blocked.
For examples, on one day post your articles to 3 groups and then on the next day Post to several more. Try to avoid posting the same article from your blog site on 7 groups at the same time. That will raise red flags.
Yes, I know I have had to learn this the hard way, but that is how I learn best.
It has been about 14 months since I rent Premium at WA and started several websites.
It has been frustrating to say the least. My traffic and revenues are NOT where I wish they would be.
It has been a struggle getting ranked high on Google. I have followed the training and done the best SEO I could possibly do, but it has not been enough.
I can get ranked high on some key words, however...there are not too many people searching on those key words so it is pointless.
On the main key words with high searches and low competition, there are millions of other sites who have been around longer who are getting ranked a head of me.
Anyway, point is that I AM NOT GIVING UP. I am still posting and writing quality articles nearly every day.
I hope to God that the Founders of WA are true to their word when they keep telling me to keep posting quality content, follow training, and eventually the success will come.
After 14 months, the success has not come yet at the level I need it to. I do have a good amount of increasing traffic on my sites and I have made revenues every month. But, not nearly as much as my goals dictate.
I am really hoping that this isn't a platform where its good training, etc. but the success rate of its members is low like 3%. Only 3% of members succeed. Therefore, they are making revenues from members first year of payment and then everyone quits.
Not sure, but I am moving forward and posting content on my posts daily until I succeed.
Keep you posted, Matt

Well done!
It’s so frustrating when you can only post so many times a day incase you get banned.
Perhaps they should have a website verification vetting system so they can pick up on legit website links easier.
When you join an affiliate website like Awin they check your website so why can’t facebook?
I admired your fighting spirit and act with knowledge and honesty, and you won. So, thank you for teaching - just righteously tell the truth and facts of life, which are the real authority, not necessarily the man-made authority, which is usually specially designed to serve the convenience of bureaucracy.
In addition, I would like to invite you to critique www.ebettercare.com so to push it to act as an effective e-marketer.
Best to success,

Hi, Matt...
You bring up a lot of good points, and I for one appreciate the candor you have used while creating this post...
I am a bit like you I think, in that I find it hard to delay gratification, but nonetheless, I keep plugging away, hopeful and faithful...
The training here does provide a solid base for a viable online business, but it does take time...
My instincts are such that I am not satisfied to wait, rather I am the sort that will go out and aggressively pursue success...
I hedge my bets by doing the many things that are taught here because, based on what I have seen posted, they work...
I do think that from time to time, you have to also venture outside these hallowed "safe" grounds to see what the rest of the world is doing...
Then take the best of the best of everything you have seen and implement it in your business.
You will not always get a home run, but the more you do this, the more you increase your chances of winning the game...
I guess what I am thinking is yes, be careful, but DO take calculated risks, and only when you have calculated that it is the time to do so...
My whole life has been like that, and so far, I have come up on the positive side of the game*
* There HAVE been low moments too...Do not get me wrong here, just more positive ones than negative ones...I choose to look at these as being times to learn from, and also ones that I can then use to compare the good times with...
Of course, living on the edge as I do, that could change in a heartbeat...
I know that, but I also value living life as opposed to watching life from the sidelines...
If I go down, it will be in a blaze of glory (in my own mind hehe), and I will have lived...
Good post and lots to think about!
Cheers!

IF your website(s) are showing increasing amounts of traffic, you are doing right (good) things.
If you check out the notifications you get and read the blogs they send you to, you will see many people have been here for more than that year! (many have been here for two, three and up to five years.)
Since you are getting more and more traffic, branch out your promotion venues. (Google plus, twitter, Linkedin, article marketing...ETC.,...)
Thanks for warning me, I hope more comments and more help. Just 3 months and I still do not configure my website well, it seems that on Amazon or any other marketing platform, they are getting complicated and bloody. I hope you give me some tip, on some marketing platform, that does not put too many locks or obstacles.
Thanks, I hope more comments.
Best regards
