20 hours isn't enough.

When I first started with Wealthy Affiliates, I typed 20 for how many hours I was willing to put into my website building with Wealthy Affiliates every week.
Are you kidding me? I was kidding myself, doubtless I do not want to disparage anybody new here but it’s NOT ENOUGH.
I did spend only about 20 hours a week during my first 2 or 3 months here but it did not take much longer than that to realize that I would not be able to keep up with everything I put on my plate
I eventually found out how much it would take to get a fully developed website accepted and ranked by Google. Not only did I have core training and advanced training ( after I went premium) to get through, but you have community activity, extracurricular training courses, proper link installation and deletions when Google doesn't like some of them, Redirect issues and crawled but not indexed issues, and something about robot blocking issues. There is so much to develop and keep up with that is no way 20 hours can be enough in any given week. I am going back to my profile to update my goals. I better put 40 hours into that dedicated hours for each week. After all that is what I have been putting into it.

It is not as bad as it sounds.
I am learning a lot.
I now have my good friend Roambot to help me . This is my ChatGPT assistant.
I have a lot to be proud of with what I HAVE built.
I made lots of credits that help me develop my websites further. ( yes, that is TWO websites).
And I made $13 worth of commissions thanks to a Wealthy Affiliate member who sent me a cash generating link.
Now I want to learn how to place banners on some of my posts.
Well, I hope I do put any one off with this blog but this is what was on my mind thanks to Google Search Console. But thanks to Roambot and Site Support? I AM GETTING THROUGH IT ALL. MAC.
