A tip for beginners

In my quest for doing things differently, looking for opportunities, I came across Wealthy Affiliate. I do not remember how exactly I came across the friendly face of Mario Rosa telling me how Wealthy Affiliate can help me. I decided to make an account.


Overwhelmed

And then I got overwhelmed by all there was to see on the website. There was live chat, training, a lot of buttons. I didn't start right away. Where to, why put my information out there? They urge you to write a bio, goals, etc. I wasn't sure what would happen to my info and myself.

After two days with Wealthy Affiliate, I still didn't do a thing. I asked questions before. I started. Let me tell you that all info you put in the chats, the goals, is only within the Wealthy Affiliate community. The reactions are loving and caring.


Smart Goals

When I realized this, I wanted to react and help others out too. For example someone wrote that they wanted enough money. I learned over the years that a goal should be SMART for you to have the chance to succeed. With SMART I mean that your goals should be:

  • Specific: it should be clear what you want. A one time earning, monthly income, or ..
  • Measurable: you should know when you reached your goal. Is $10 enough or is $1000?
  • Achievable: do you believe it is possible, achievable?
  • Realistic: is $1000000 per hour realistic?
  • Time-bounded: when must it happen?

Finally the start

Then I really focused on the training. I haven't found my niche yet, so I switched to the Affiliate Bootcamp training. I am learning a lot and enjoying it. When reading comments, bio's and achievements of others, I am getting ideas and inspiration.

Thank you, Wealthy Affiliate community!

So beginner, don't be afraid and get going. Start with the green button on the left.

Enjoy the journey!

All the best to you too.

Thanks for this post @MMacLeod I am looking forward to learn more from you :)

You are welcome.

I will help you in every way I can.

Well said Mary-ann, I couldn't agree with you more! I came up with a saying (which is just a reworking of an old adage) which was, "Dream... that what is dreamed may be". I think your post here just lined out what I was trying to say! Then the part about doing. I liked your post!

Thank you very much.

Couldn't have said it better.

Nice to have you aboard.

Thank you.

Hi Mary-ann, it sounds like you are off to a great a great start. You are right to ask questions. With all the fraud going on, caution is a wise approach. You are also right about goals. Non specific goals are more like wishes. They rarely come true.

Welcome to Wealthy Affiliates and may you achieve your highest goals.

Thank you, Joe!

Love the honesty of this. Most new starters feel the same. It can be overwhelming and a bit scary.
Wishing you every success.
