In The Groove

I've been working on my website for a few months now. Some days it is definitely harder than others to get up and going. I still have not made any sales of items listed on my site. It can get discouraging.One thing I thought I would share is how getting in the gorrove can help. If I write a bit of something every day, even if it is not published. i feel more in the groove. More prepared to write more. My brain starts to think of new ideas and ways to present my thoughts.Days when other obligati

Hey Guys,Site Comments is up and working Great! People are responding to articles and comment requests so quickly we are running out of things to comment on.Come on over and post a few of your pages for comments. There needs to be way more articles to comment on. Don't forget they need to be articles not just a page from your e commerce shop. Can't really comment on a couple items for sale with no info about them.There are enough people commenting on posts now that we don't have enough articles

Last Person to Post has to.

I am sure we have all played that game at some point in our lives. Where the last person to get somewhere had to do a dirty chore. Like last one the dinner table has to do dishes. It is a fun little mini race with yucky consequences.Your Website is Not A RaceIt may feel like you need to get all your content up right now. before other websites get it there.

Completely Amazed

Great NewsI recently set up an email auto responder service on my site. Not sure why I waited this long. I know the training says you don't need one til you start getting solid traffic. However I have decided I should have done it on day one.I have had a few visitors to my site since the begining. Most of them were other WA members commenting as requested. However I had a couple of comments I could not attribute to WA members. Had I set up the email I may have been able to let them know of new

How to build anticipation?

As marketers it is vital to get people to read our blogs. Without visitors we are not helping anyone. Yet each day most of us are so focused on creating new content and sharing it to social media we forget one key thing.AnticipationIf we are able to get the word out ahead of time about what we are posting in a way that builds excitement we would have a rush of people wanting to read it when it is posted. Rather than trying to attract people after the fact.I however am completely clueless on how

Golden Numbers

I have been working at putting new content up on my blog and not much else lately. I have a great idea in the works for a second site now that I am done witht the certification training.What I am not very sure on and could use some imput about is ratio. What would you say is a good amount of pages without affiliate links in comparison to pages with links? Something like three pages of no links at 1000 words each to one page with links at 1000 words?I am trying to research keywords for my new si

Need some love please

Ok, maybe not so much for myself but for my website. My wonderful theme allows people to like articles and posts like you would on Facebook.I know that having a number of likes showing isn't very beneficial if those numbers are super low. I could really use lots of people to just got to my home page and click on hearts.If you want to read content hey thats a bonus. What I am begging for right now though is just some clicks of the mouse. It counts each one, so even if you do it from laptop, you

Not something I aimed for

I know I should feel honored and thrilled that I cleared the top 200 rank. It was never something that I aimed to do. I am more concerned with how my website is coming along and my learning progress. I enjoy sharing with you all and helping when I can. It just seems there are more important things for me to worry about at this time in my life. While I am surprised that I hit this rank this soon in my time here at Wealthy Affiliate I have doubts how long it will last.I have a plan and a goal for

Certification Complete. Now to Work on Goals

Yay! I have completed the certification courses. Do I still feel there is a ton to learn? Absolutely. But the courses did what they said they would do. I have a fully functioning website. Now it is up to me to get more traffic and make sales. I will study some of the other training available here. there is so much to learn. And some really great teachers.I have my goals set and a plan in place. Now all that is left is to implement and work towards my goals. I still struggle daily with getting t

New Plan and increased motivation

I also have an idea for a new site with items that people need in their daily lives as opposed to the fun things they want from my current site.RedefinedMy husband gave me some great ideas for my Lore Play site. he reminded me to think of what Lore actually is.
