Online Entrepreneur Certification Done - What I Learned In 4 Weeks
Started Only 4 Weeks Ago
It's crazy that it was exactly a month ago that I started my new website. Right around mid October 2020 I decided to begin the traning here at WA.
And here I am 4 weeks later, with 34 articles written, all over 1000 words per article, and I already know this journey is gonna continue to get better moving forward.
I've set some goals to hit, which really don't seem to be all that difficult to achieve. It seems the key here is to WRITE....write, write, write....and write more.
Write What You're Passionate About
If there's one thing I've learned on this journey so far, or what's helped me pump out so many articles in such a short time, it's this:
Write what you're passionate about...write about what you could talk about for hours on end.
Having started a health and fitness blog, despite the competition out there of so many other health and fitness websites, it was still the right decision for me.
I've been a nutrition and fitness nut for as long as I can remember.
Plus, as long as we're choosing low competition high search volume keywords, we can compete in any industry.
Doesn't Feel Like Work
It was a very seamless process to turn it all into a blog. Why on earth had I never done this
before? I'm not sure. I guess I just didn't want to dive into creating something that had to be nourished regularly or that required me to be typing daily.
But I know that in 3 - 6 months from now, the value I'm adding to the website will start paying off. It's already paying off just by putting my knowledge out into the world for others to see.
It never feels like work, cause health and fitness is how I align my lifestyle anyway and it's what I know. I've helped friends lose weight, and now it's time to take that knowledge and put it on the internet.
Good Things Happening
I receive emails every day that a new page has been indexed by Google. I was approved by Google Adsense, and I'm excited to figure out whatever else comes along on the journey. This is my site here if you'd like to check it out.
Really glad I finally dove in and started. Wishing you guys a ton of success and fun on your journies as well!. Just follow the training to a T, have fun with it, and I have no doubt that you'l be seeing success.

Awesome stuff, and I definitely think you're on the right track. Couldn't agree more on writing what you're passionate about, it makes it much easier to stay committed and continue pumping content out. Makes it easier to do keyword research too I think, since you're more likely to think of long-tail keywords just from your own experience.
Congrats on getting indexed too! I can't wait to hit that point. Yesterday I posted my 10th blog so woo! Double digits!! Not sure if indexing depends on your overall site's content or just time after submitting a page, but either way fingers crossed for joining soon.
I've stalled a bit on the training since I'm focusing more on getting more content up right now, but I should be ready to move on soon as well.
Just gotta keep putting out that delicious content and the reward will come in time.
Thank you! Yes, you'll be getting indexed soon I'm sure. Did you set up all the indexing properly according to how they teach it in the training yet? I think it's great that you're just writing content and even if you're slower on the training, the content is what matters. You're site is great too, I can tell you're totally writing from a place where you really know what you're talking about, and with passion, which I think makes a blog totally unique. I also think you're right that it makes the keyword research easier too cause it is also connected to our own experience.
Congrats on getting 10 done! BTW - as far as getting indexed, it kind of seems to not follow any kind of rule. Cause I'm noticing some of my very first articles starting to get indexed now, and some of my more recent articles were indexed shortly after being written, so I'm not sure how they choose what to index and when, but I'm just happy to see them being indexed already.
Yes, just keep on putting out delicious content and reward will come in time...the way I see it, even if those rewards don't start trickling in til June, so what? We'll be so much better equipped by then with more knowledge, and a much deeper understanding of blogging. Plus, I'm sure we'll have learned what things work and don't work, and we'll continue to tweak and make improvements to what we've already got.
Hmm, I think so? It's just a matter of putting the keyword in the title and first paragraph or so, right? Haven't really seen them mention anything beyond that.
Oh, interesting. I wonder what the process is. Either way it's a great accomplishment.
Too true! Plus even if it takes awhile to get off the ground the fact it keeps producing money for years to come makes it a no-brainer in my opinion.
Yes definitely agree with the years down the road thing. Oh and yes, keyword in title and first few paragraphs, and then I always try to throw it into the article one more time somewhere - usually towards the end. But I don’t know if that’s necessary - sounds like you’re definitely on the right track
Well done my friend!
34 articles written and all the OEC training completed within four weeks!! That is some serious going.
Keep up the fantastic work!!
Thank you! Yeah, I just dove in and didn't stop. I think it was about 2 - 4 hours of work each day, from training to writing. But now will be much less work and primarily just researching keywords and writing.
