My Wealhy Affiliate Experiance After 3 Days
I registered a starter account 3 days ago with a couple of different expectations. I wanted to find an affiliate marketing course that actually provides the value that all of them promise. In these few days I've seen that Wealthy Affiliate really offers a lot.
Based on the first lesson it seems to me that the educational material is really well-designed and understandable. I really like the idea that you can just sing up and pay monthly. Honestly, I think I will probably sing up for at least the first month, just to see the rest of the content.
However, as someone just getting started in the world of online business, in this post I would like to not just tell you about my experience so far, but also ask you a coupe of questions about yours. I am still a little skeptical, that this will actually work, because I have never done it before. But many of you have, so I would love to hear from you.
I've been reading some blogs and comments written by the amazing community here. One of the main thing I learned is that an online business requires really hard work. Basically as far as I can tell the main difference between an established blog and my new website is not that they have fancier graphics and more plugins but that they have 500 posts and I do not.
And writing 500 posts is hard. The reason I am skeptical is not that I do not believe that the course is good. I am not sure I could stay motivated. How do you guys do it? What were you little "wins" that kept you going?
The other thing I learned is that requires a lot of waiting. Many of you wrote about how long it takes for a site to actually become a real business, month or even a year. At this point this seems really uncertain to me.
I know that it is hard to tell exactly how long it takes, because everybody develops differently, they start from a different place, invest different amounts of time, work in different industries. But I would like to know more you. How long did it take for you to earn your first buck?
I see that there are many wonderful people here. This is why I am asking you to tell me how you felt when you started your first website. How did your first couple of month go?
Thank you very much for all your answers and comments. I wish you luck and a lot of success.

I am going to follow this post because I am in the same boat. I have found that following the training is a big help. I joined on Aug. 24th. and my website indexed on Google on the 28th. That has been my biggest motivation at this point. I am hoping for many more in the near future.

Good to hear from you Ilona! And thanks for sharing your thoughts.
First of all, you really don't need to write like 500 posts before you can become successful.
I started earning 4 figures when I only have like 100+ posts. And now I only have 200 posts on my site which is already generating me a full-time passive income.
So, it's not about the quantity. It's more about the skills and your strategy.
As for staying motivated, my best advice for you is to start a niche site in something that you're passionate about. That's one of the main ways to keep you motivated because you're enjoying the process.
As you enjoy the process, there will definitely be ups and downs on your journey. All the little successes along the way should keep you motivated enough to reach your goals.
