Trepidation

So now that I seem (hopefully) to have my computer issues resolved, I spent Saturday doing some general research.

This whole scenario is like learning a foreign language, so I got a "Blogging for Dummies" book from the library and have a "Wordpress for Dummies" on order. I also spent some time on Google, Amazon and Walmart researching things that would be pertinent to my niche.

I learned a lot of great info but to be honest, I'm really conlicted about this whole process. Sometimes a little knowledge can be more harmful than not. When I discovered how much I dont know about this process, and I'm talking all the unseen background stuff, I started wondering whether or not I could actually pull this off.

I've barely finished my first training pod so I know I'll be learning more as I go but right now I'm filled with trepidation. Can I really make a success out of my website? Will I really be able to ern any money from it?

I guess time will tell.

I tend to get stuck in analysis paralysis, research upon research. I get it. Just take it as it comes, you can’t know everything all at once. If you take your time and look at this as an education (WA University), then you WILL succeed. You are learning, you will make mistakes (believe me, I’m living proof), but you can do this. I believe in you. Now you just need to believe in yourself.

Thanks JoanMarie:
I just need a kick in the pants once in a while. LOL

Yes you can.

Of course you can...unless you stop trying. The information is overwhelming but WA training is the key to pulling it all together. I think your feelings at this stage are typical.

Oh, this blog brings back some haunting memories. I felt the exact same way only about 3 months ago.
If you will just take it one step at a time, do the training exactly as Kyle and Carson have it set up without skipping anything, then the answer to your question is yes.
As the days go by, you will realize everything that you are learning and doing. It does work. It really does.
The biggest secret is to never give up. If you get hung up on something, ask questions. There is never a bad question. Remember, you have a great support system that is ready, willing, and able to help. All you have to do is ask.
Before long, you will realize that you are even answering some questions for those who are just starting out!!
You GOT this, my friend. Keep on keeping on!

When I joined in May I felt exactly as you do now after the first section of training. However, underneath all of the trepidation was a feeling that if I could master this my options were wide open.

It does get easier. I don't worry about what I don't know, because when I need to figure out what that is (this process is like peeling an onion) someone or some training on the WA site will be there to help me.

At this point I feel a great sense of accomplishment even though there are still little bugs and things I don't really understand.

Trust in the process.

Good luck!

Thanks, Candace. Glad to know I'm not alone.

We joined WA in April and, at that time, our knowledge of online marketing, as well as the technical side of the internet, was probably about the same as you. Now, nearly four months on, there is still so much we don't know, but our understanding of how this all works is greatly improved. Just keep taking one step at a time, and go at your own pace.
According to what we have read, there are many very successful WA members whose starting knowledge was no greater than ours. If they can do it, why can't we?

Thanks for the encouragement.

Yes, you can definitely create a successful website. Enjoy the journey, the answers will come. Thanks for sharing!

There is no need to be worried. The more you learn the more you want to learn. You already know that if you have a problem the community will help solve your problem. We are there for you.
Jerry

Yes, I have learned that. I've gotten some wonderful help and encouragement.

False Evidence Appearing Real

Is that kind of like FROG? Forever Rely On God. I will keep that little acronym in mind.

Step by step instructions in the lessons are given what to and how with instructional movies and Tex. I think that's almost on the same level as the books you mentioned. Even me didn't know anything about how to build an website and I have it up and running and everytime learn something more.
Keep on doing it
