I'm Not Prepared For This!

Hello everyone it's nice to be back posting another blog for you. First off, I'd like to say that although my website seems to have tremendous following, I'm totally not prepared for the storm that hit me like Hurricane Hazel. As we are learning to create content for our newly created websites, we are encouraged to publish right away so Google can index and identify with our site. As we continue to progress through training, posts and content is added slowly growing, hoping one day to have enough good content to attract visitors, then to have them take action and generate income. Niche selection is very important when trying to grow an audience & then to keep them coming back as loyal followers and customers. I'm finding out that my inexperience is really showing now because everything has grown so fast that it has become impossible to keep up with training, ad campaigns,creating e-books & newsletters, customer inquiries, post comments, product selection and distribution....on and on the list goes on. I have to train for each and every step I take and the hours are painstakingly long right now. I'm currently working over 18 hours a day and as of today I'm officially 3 days behind with programs in place. It's so difficult to maintain a growing website and operate without the provided training Wealthy Affiliate provides. I'm only on Part 2 of the training and don't have a clue how to add custom menus, use link shorteners, and so much more that would improve my website, but I am too busy to return to training at this time. Things are growing too fast and I'm struggling with success and it's a very stressful situation. I'm currently saving up to hire an assistant to manage all my social media sites, and to do other admin tasks, so I can concentrate on ad campaigns and product research and store maintenance. I'm desperate to return to training soon, but in the meantime the struggles and hurdles will be faced and defeated one by one! I am so grateful for finding Wealthy Affiliate!! Without this, I would NOT have a successful growing business today! Cheers to ALL here at the BEST Community in the World! Feel free to follow me on any social media listed on my profile. Thanks again!
