March 10 | First Steps in my WA Journey

Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.
I've read so many "this is my first blog post" threads tonight that I really felt shamed into finally making my own. To be honest, I thought blogging here was something only the uber-established, long-time members did. Then I paid more attention and realized I was wrong.
I came to WA with a specific intention - to make use of my membership as a means of keeping myself on track while furthering my education. Before arriving here, I had already cleaned up my laptop files, my "real" files (I love paper) and my domain list as part of my "Get it Together in 2014" plan.
I have been working online for several years now. I've built websites of all types. I've written articles on what seems like every topic under the sun (except for the naughty ones), I've counseled and coached, ghostwritten ebooks and blogs and even cataloged store receipts. I trained in Facebook marketing (I personally can't stand FB) and in SEO (I enjoy SEO).
I've made a little bit of money doing a lot of different things. The good news is that I now know exactly how I want to spend my online time and how I want my business done. The bad news is that many of the "I can do" skills on my virtual resume are the "I don't want to " tasks in my planner.

I do want to write. I do want to publish. I do want to earn more. I do want to help other people realize their own dreams - especially those who need to be reminded that dreams exist.
My big goal for 2014 is to put the skills I have learned into practice and establish a profitable virtual real estate portfolio while helping others do the same.
Right now, it is 3 am here and I just finished entering a month's worth of messages into an autoresponder for the blog I am re-doing. Two days ago, I completed an overhaul of a local publishing website. This week, I'll get to work on the site I'll be using to promote WA.
In between the time spent learning and doing, I have met the most wonderful array of people - other WA members who are also striving to make their own lives better. There are so many things to appreciate about WA - but that's another blog post.
My first month at Wealthy Affiliate has been awesome. I look forward to many, many more.
