So still here! They got me!

Don’t I feel like a fraud?

So I left and thought right time to move on to (tough niche and all that jazz) and work on my other projects.

So I cancelled my account, but WA still charged me for another month.

So I just rolled with it.

So then my niche website at Wealthy Affiliate jumped in traffic and has grown since. So I thought, hey, what is this?

So I just kept writing.

So then WA put on a great Black Friday deal, which, to be fair, was excellent.

So hey, I am still here.

So yes, I have signed up for another year with 5 minutes to spare.

(Scarcity mode works)

So what is the lesson?

So what, no idea.

So yes, I feel like a fraud. ( the irony of having a book out that deals with that)

So anyway, yes, nice to be still here even though I left.

So have a great weekend.

And yes, my word of the day is SO.

So what?

No idea! Have You?

Phil

So you have used that word to great advantage. Glad you stuck around. It sounds like a synchronistic experience to me. There is a reason why you are still here, even if you don't see it. Perhaps your website will take off like a winged bird and take you to new heights. I hope so.

Thank you, Fran, and I agree 100 per cent. I appreciate this message very much, Phil

Good afternoon Phil,

I'm glad that you are still at Wealthy Affiliate, I think you have made the right decision. It was also a fantastic deal this year.

I believe you're quite active here, I really like the idea of not only having an online business but having like-minded people to connect with. And of course, the training is excellent.

Wishing you all the best and a great year at Wealthy Affiliate.

Roy

PS: I'm surprised that you have written only one blog post, here at Wealthy Affiliate! Is that correct? I thought I had read quite a few of your blog posts or maybe it's just that I have read your comments on other members blog posts!

Hi Roy that's lovely of you to say. And yes I will post more. I have tried not to make it a distraction. Great to hear from you and thanks for your encouragement. It means a great deal. Much appreciated Phil

Hello again Phil,

Thank you for your reply, it's appreciated.

I understand Phil and in some ways that is quite smart of you! Wealthy Affiliate is a great platform, however, and I include myself in this sometimes; it's easy to be distracted when we should be writing content for our own websites!

As we know, Wealthy Affiliate is a very sociable platform, but the reality is that it's meant to teach us how to build a successful online business! I believe far too many members have been caught up in the social aspect of this great platform rather them building their online business!

So to conclude, I believe you have quite a good principle.

All the best.

Roy

Thanks Roy I know I wasted a lot of time at the beginning which cost me. So you are very spot on. My new mantra is content for my website first then platform second. Much appreciated.

It's a pleasure, Phil.

I fully understand where you are coming from, time can go so quickly when we are busy in front of the screen.

Yesterday I watched two training classes, which was great, however, even that was almost an afternoon gone. Partly due to the fact that I was stopping and starting the training as I was putting the training into practice. I also appreciate this is why we are members of Wealthy Affiliate, to learn more.

Often I will actually listen to the training on my phone while I am working my off-line business, it's a great resource. However, for some of the training, we really do need to be in front of the screen.

I have digressed slightly as I know the main place where we lose time in replying to comments and blog posts. I actually often refrain from writing a blog post on Wealthy Affiliate as I know I have to reply to the comments!

Have a great Sunday.

Roy
