Bitter Sweet Ending That Opens New Doors

I have finally done it ladies and gentleman, yes it has taken me a little longer than what I would of have liked. I stuck to my guns and pressed on. Struggling at times it seemed like it was all against me in some form or another.

Not getting a certain post indexed, not having any traffic, no sales and the worry of my WA rank really made it rough to focus on the main task at hand. Trying to stay on the right path and finding motivation to create great content also lead me to the verge of wanting to cancel my membership with Wealthy Affiliate.

Having that feeling inside of me that I am not smart, or educated enough to know how Affiliate Marketing works and that it will never happen for me...

"Seems so confusing, how can I proceed to make a successful website work that could generate any income"?

So what's the point of me continuing?

Maybe it was information overload that started to take a toll on me, during the training I was absorbing all the information I could possibly take in. Also, I was learning from others who were asking questions themselves in the Live Chat.

I felt that I needed to learn and know everything I could in order for me to become successful in my niche.

If some one in Live Chat asked a question that could somewhat be related to what I felt my website needed, than I would focus on that one thing. Making my tweaks and adjustments here and there to my website until I felt it was right.

Please, do not get me wrong I had my fair share of questions as well.

Then sure enough I would come across another question that was asked, someone would respond like always with the answer which was great for me. There I was back at it again thinking, "Oh, that's what I need to do for my site as well".

By doing this daily I slowly found myself straying away from the training provided and venturing out on my own a tad bit.

Luckily, that voice inside my head kept telling me to take a short break and a step back from everything to clear my mind. I was trying to take on too much all at once and trying to fit every bit of information I could find into the storage file in my head.

Then it hit me, when I logged in the only thing I really needed to do for about 10 minutes is see what is going on in the Live Chat and see what's new then straight to training. If I came across a "nugget" that I thought may be beneficial to me later down the road, I would simply copy and paste it onto a non-published Site-Content page I had created.

I'am a information hoarder, but I will never quit.

As one can see below these are just a few of the helpful links I would copy and paste from fellow WA's who have offered to help and lend any advice for those of us who may struggle from time-to-time.

I know I can type what I needed an answer to into the search bar at the top of the page, but I had a need to feel that the questions being answered were coming from of the top helpers within the community.

It has been easier for me creating a little system for myself when it comes to saving any little "nugget" of information I came across, it seems to work when I need to refer to any issue I may run across.

I have finished the training and it is time for Boot Camp!!!

P.S. For anyone who is still new here at Wealthy Affiliate and if you are finding some training and information overwhelming, take a step back and breath. This is not a contest, no need to try to rush to be in first place. Take your time and create a learning system that works for you...
