6 Months Ago Today.
Time flies. Here I am six months ago today. I was supprised today 14/04/2019, to receive a 6 months dedication badge. These previous six months were great learning period for me. It was very challenging period, trying to make time for WA with my ministry and teaching schedules. Atleast I didn't give up but I pursued and determined to learn as much as possible here at WA.
First year at wealthy affiliate I commit to learning and promoting Wealthy Affiliate with my first website. Some people can say that the last thing you can do is to promote wealthy affiliate, but for me as a newbie in the industry, I have decided to promote WA as part of my learning processes.
Accomplishment over the last six months.
- Created 2 dot com Websites. One for my affiliate learning and marketing and the second one for my ministry purposes.
- Completed Training Level 1, 2, 3, 4 and working toward completing level 5. I consider each level of training important as a begginner and I took time to research more into tasks within each level of training before moving to the next level.
- I have developed some better understanding about affiliate program, google adword, google adsense, and google analytics.
- I can able to transfer all the files from one website to another website.
- I can create website and create a very basic landing page.
- I can write niche focused keyword rich article that can be indexed by google within a day.
- I am able to find very targeted niches and low competitive keywords.
- I am ranked 245 at WA, have 9 posts, have 1.2K followers, and created 2 tutorial trainings.
There are so many things that I learn here at Wealthy Affiliate and above are some of them I higlighted. I would have been lost and confused if asked me 6 months ago today to build and publish a niche website. If you ask me to do it now, I would get it done withim few weeks time and make you smile.
Did I Make Any Money? YES!
I'm greateful that I've learned and dicovered many ways to earn money with the training provided here at WA looking back myself 6 months ago today.
- I made $150 in my fist six months here within WA Community, while taking actions of what I was learning. My earning mostly comes from my refferals. Today, I have 408 starter referrals and 2 premium refferals. I am aiming to reach 1000 referrals by end of this year.
- There are so much opportunity to make money outside the walls of WA, which I will tap into at the end of this year. Like I said earlier, this year I fully commit to learning and promoting Wealthy Affiliate.
My Goals for the next 6 Months
- 1000 Referals
- Double the amount earned over the first six months.
- 2K Followers
- 10 WA Tutorials
- Start a brand new Nichewebsite to begin my affiliate business outside the walls of WA.
My Encouragement to All the Newbies.
- Try and master the skill taught within each level of training program.
- Go through the training and take immediate actions.
- Ask questions and reach out for help if you are not sure of anything within the training.
- Learn and establish set yourself up well first. Earning Money should be the least of the focus of your training and accomplishments here at WA.
Happy and Successful Learning and Accomplishment. Cheers!

Amazing to read your story! :)
Did your referrals come from your affiliate website? My website has 4 months old and still not one single referral... Maybe I do something wrong?
Wish you great success!
Hi Audrey!
In order to get referral from our website, we need traffic. Organic traffic requires good deal of keyword rich contents.
After learning PPC, i decided to try it as part of my learning here. Most of my referrals come from PPC and very little from organic.
Keep researching low competitive keywords and write more article in order to get traffic leading to conversion, if you don't prefer PPC.
Wishing you every success.
Thank you for the quick answer! I understand better now :) I'm finishing Phase 4 of the Affiliate Bootcamp today and I planned to do the Phase 5 up to mid-September. PPC appears during Phase 6 I think. So right now I'll focus on organic traffic (at least try). I can't wait to try PPC then!
Thank you for letting me know this. Sometime I feel like I might do something wrong when I see other members with a lot of results with the same amount of time as me here and me I just have nothing. But I understand now that we don't take all the same path and the same tools! I must not stop to learn!
Thank you :)
Well said. You are well on the path so keep it up and keep moving forward. Organic traffic still remains the best option. My organic traffic lead to less than 5 traffic in a week.
Thanks for connecting with me. I look forward to seeing your around here.
Great going to be here only six months. I have to get my nose to grindstone, because I am just about half way through the training. The training and support is the best I seen in my nine years Of looking for something like WA. Keep up the good work and always remember don't ever give up and never surrender. Please like my comments, thanks Sruffey.
