Finished A 5000 Word Article (took me 1 week)

I did not know that it would take me so long to actually finish this article, when the idea for this article came into my mind 1 week ago. It took me 7 days to finish this 5000 word article, writing every day for at least 5 hours.

I am not a native speaker, so that slows down my writing speed a lot. But I am confident, that I will be able to improve my writing speed, as well as quality of my posts.

Anyway, I am into WA for over 1 month now, my website went online 2 weeks ago. I can see the progress I am making and I am learning more every day about online marketing, and absolutely love it. Can't wait to see where this will take me 1 year, 5 year, 10 years from now.

I don't think I will write another 5k word article anytime soon, I rather go with 5x 1k articles in the future.

Other than that, my website and posts got indexed by google quickly and I actually added the first 2 affiliate links to my website today. It's exciting to know, that starting from today, I could potentially earn my first 1$. :)
