My First Website SOLD

Some WA members have congratulated me for my new profile picture, you might never guess where it was taken, but it's pretty obvious I LOVE CATS!!!


That is why this website is so dear to me. One of my starters, which I upgraded to premium, owns a cattery in Alicante. I insisted so many times that she should join WA that she finally accepted. However, when she realized how complex it was to create a WP site, she decided to give me the job and told me that she wanted me to take care of her site's maintenance.

I know that ranking this site will be easy but it's not necessary to rush. She deals with international buyers who will pay $1000 or more for a kitten. And they know each other (it's a small community)

It was my first WP site, I used DIVI theme and WPML because she wanted 3 languages (Russian translation is pending)

As many of you know by now, my main goal is to promote WA. Many of my friends have noticed that the time required to learn how to build a website, create original content, do SEO and join affiliate programs is too long for them.

I want to show my referrals that in WA they have all the required training but more important, they have people willing to help on their journey. However, this might not be enough.

Take for example the owner of this cattery. She wants to sell cats, not to be a designer, an SEO expert, or a content creator. She joined the community because I insisted, but she's not going to renew her premium membership.

Good news and bad news. I've got the job but I lost a referral.

I've been trying to calculate how long a premium member will stay in WA on average. It's important for me to know the ROI if I want to invest in advertising. I didn't have the time yet to explore this topic but I'm sure there is enough information in WA's knowledge base.

I'll be grateful If any of you can help me find this information.

For now, I'll be busy optimizing images and fine-tuning this site.

Cheers

Good Morning Richard.

Everybody is free to do as they like and if they want to breed a special type of cat what can I say?
My cats and dogs belong to the abandoned animal group. There are too many of those and here on the farm, they had nice and even very long lives. Missu came walking in as a baby in 1995. Last year summer I had to let her go as her health was beyond ok. Cindy, my gentle Rottweiler lady had to leave 2 months earlier. I am still upset by it. Life has its ups and downs and during a difficult period, it have always been my dear animals who helped me through it. Now I must stop as I am crying my eyes out.

Greetings from the south of Spain, Taetske

I'm so sorry about that, Taetske. Sometimes things we read trigger unrelated emotions and memories. We're human!
Let it flow. Please PM if you want to.
Greetings, my friend

Thank you, Richard, I will PM my cat and dog story.

Hasta Pronto, Taetske

Awesome and congrats to you, Richard! Take care too! :o)

Thanks, Terand! BTW Are you an AI entity? I find you everywhere!
Cheers

Lol. Richard, I set it with the automated responder. Kidding 😬😉

That's exciting news! Congratulations!

Thank you, Frank! To be frank, it was not easy. But the second one will be piece of cake ;-)

You did well on selling your web, Richard, well done!
Jacqueline

Merci, Jacqueline!

Good job Richard. Keep it up!

We have not kept our solemn promise, Fran...
Let's chat tomorrow.
Thanks for your comment, buddy!

I wrote a couple of blogs about it. I completed the first task but not the second, I saw you completed yours too.

Here to chat whenever you want.

Tomorrow, my friend... I'm up since 5 am
Cheers

I'm the the other way around. But I'll be here.

Sir Richard,
You may not get the referral for next round, but you got a job doing the Hoodoo with your Voodoo... so congratulations Internet Wizard!
I do take offense to the cat thing though... Dogs Rule!! LOL
Hugs
Shaunna

I love dogs, dear Shaunna. I used to have German Shepherds when I was younger. However, we always had at least 3 cats at home they lived in peace and harmony with the dogs.
Animals Rule!!!
Hugs,

Richard

You got it... love the Animals. (Even cats, just don't tell the dogs)!

Congrats to the Wizard of WA! Shoot me the url, I would love to see it. I am seriously considering starting a Maine Coon Cattery in Ukraine. The rich folks here would go crazy over Coons. The first one I sold would turn into "where can I get one" times a hundred. I am just weighing the pros and cons. Lots, lots of money is the pro. Having a REAL job is the con. Would be hard to travel and visit my friends in Spain with a bunch of kitties breeding around the house.

Mark

Greeting, my friend!
Let's talk about cats in Ukraine some day. My client started working with a Ukrainian cattery...
If you want to visit me in Spain you can bring your cats but the cost of their tickets will be higher than yours ;-)

Hi there, interesting article and one I can relate too, although my background is very different. I am a Real Estate Investor and have been for 26 years now. I love real estate but also love taking brain supplements so I created an online business through WA and went through all the loops to create the site and try to built content. It is very time consuming and most likely it took me longer than maybe most other people would need. I know that on my next online business I might be tempted to hire someone..:-)

Hi, Erik! I'm also working on a website for real estate. I'd like to talk about the potential of real estate websites in foreign languages.
Let's keep in touch ;-)

Sure, anytime you can pick my brain...:-)

My experience has been that building an online business is an enormous amount of work! Compound this with working full-time and raising two teenagers, it's amazing I get anything done. So, as far as taking a long time, I hear ya. I am also in an ultra-competitive niche...of course, I couldn't choose something "easy". Anyway, I like the journey and it keeps me out of trouble LOL.

Thank you for sharing, because you have touched on something that I am interested in knowing more about. I have friends who run small businesses (i.e. baking or their own crafts) who are not interested in joining but would like me to do their websites, which I would like to look at doing (haven't finished my training yet)...the market I am looking at is non-English speaking part of my community.
I have added your post to my favourites - to see what others say :)

I've used WPML for the first time. I'm still learning WP administration. I have created a couple of plugins in the past, I can code PHP, HTML5, CSS, and Javascript but I find it hard to do a simple layout or to choose fonts and colors.
I hope to find people willing to team up with me ;-)
Thanks for commenting!
Cheers

This is an interesting development. Website building and social media marketing is definitely a "profession of the future". And WA is an excellent place to learn the trade.
Best of luck with your new job.
Marsha

Thank you, Marsha!
I'm happy because I see the potential to show my referrals that you can start making money faster. This was the main objection I faced when I showed and discussed WA with local friends.
Cheers
