That Was A Pleasant Surprise

Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

So, I'm in the middle of writing my latest blog for my cancer niche and suddenly a pop-up appears saying that I've got another badge and congratulations.

It appears that I am now among the top 200 here on WA. I really don't know what I've done, but I'm sure it's a good sign that I'm on the right track. If only it would help with my blogs getting ranked on Google.

I was on the verge of giving up and went 'incommunicado' for awhile and this reflected in my WA ranking as I went from 300+ to almost 13,000, but over the past month or so, I made the effort to go back over the training to refresh myself and to see if there was anything that I missed. I hadn't missed anything but going over it a second time helped clarify some points.

So in the past couple of months I have been more productive, writing more, helping more, and generally immersing myself more into the whole WA environment. I took the opportunity of Black Friday to set up a second website promoting WA and I now see traffic coming to both sites, not much but it's a start.

The training here at WA is amazing and the support from everybody is awesome. For those of you that are not active in Live Chat, I strongly suggest you give some time to get involved. There are some amazing tips and suggestions and so many people willing to share their ideas and advice.

As with everything here on WA, it's about being in the business of helping, so thank you to those that have helped me, and thank you to those that have given me the opportunity to help them.

Now if anyone has a magic wand to to get me more referrals and sales through my affiliate links, don't be shy in sharing.

Seasons Greetings to those who celebrate, and for those who don't, just enjoy the holiday.

Take care you all,

ASG
