Feeling Stuck and Overwhelmed

Feeling Stuck and Overwhelmed

It's been three weeks since joining WA. I have been learning tons of things from the training and the community.

Every day is an exciting day for me as I continue my training until I reached Level Three Lesson Three where I have to join as a publisher and be able to create affiliate links.

This is again, all new for me. My head span while searching for affiliate links relevant to my niche. I paused and thought of the next thing to do.

I am still waiting for the approval of my applications from the advertisers. I was quite disheartened. Then I saw my profile with a link from WA. I decided to write a new article where I can safely add the WA affiliate link. Problem solved....

The next lesson gave me another challenge- add relevant Amazon product to my site.

Disappointment came over me because Amazon is not available in New Zealand. I messaged my coach and asked for advice. He said that it' s OK to find another product outside Amazon.

I clicked on the Affiliate Programs (on the left side) and saw lots of programs that I can join but still I have to apply and wait for their approval. Ugh! So many things to learn and do.

Then came Google AdSense... Hey it looked so simple to do, but wait! Kyle said before someone creates an account, make sure to have at least 15 contents on the website. Are you serious??? I counted mine, I only have 8 relevant articles since starting the training. Come on!!!

I stopped and took deep breaths.... Do I really love what I am doing? Is it worth my time and effort?

YES! I Iove what I am doing. Why? Here are my valid reasons...

1.) I can brush up my grammar and writing skills that got stuck up in my brains since I become a stay-at-home Mom.

2.) I can make my free time more productive instead of browsing over stressful posts of my FB friends.

3.) I can learn something completely new for me at my own pace.

4.) I gain new online friends from different walks of life, from all over the world.

5.) Finally, I hope to earn from my website. Turn my efforts in the form of money or incentives.

I don't have to be hard on myself and just give whatever I can while working on my website. Meanwhile, I can post some blogs like this one and give a welcome message, comments and feedback ( if I still have extra time before and after doing household chores).

So, yeah. I am still at Level 3 on the lesson about AdSense. I told myself that it's gonna be fine. All I have to do now is to publish one post a day until I completed my 15 articles. I may want to publish 18 just to be sure before creating my Google AdSense account.

Cheers!
