It's coming along.

For a while I was navigating WA like a foreigner in a land far, far away.... So, as any foreigner would do, I learned the language (or at least, I'm still learning), as well as the places and things pertaining to this foreign world.

I'll admit, when I joined WA I thought I would be getting the big bucks within the first 7 day trial. I thought that I could actually dedicate myself to doing this full time, seven days a week.

Then reality hit.

As a mom of three little ones, it's not such an easy feat to listen and actually pay attention to Kyle's video's while the kids are around. With that said, it has been a painfully slow process. However, like the tortoise from the Tortoise and the Hare, I may be walking slowly, but I am progressing.

The first challenge: What will I choose for a niche?

In order to get the answer to that question I had to ask myself a few others:

1. What do I love most in the world? Hobbies, pasttimes, etc...

2. What already occupies most of my time?

3. What are my special interests? Things that I like to read, learn, and write about...

4. How could I blend it all together?

This is when I realized, well, 1. I love my children, 2. they occupy most of my time, 3. I love watching them learn, and I also love science as well as gardening, 4. A general theme that can include My kids, My kids learning, My love for Science, My love for Gardening, and other cool stuff is... Science Technology Engineering and Math (STEM)... so this is how my website, NurtureSTEM.com, was born.

Successes:

I managed to make my website look appealing at first glance. To me this is a big success, because as someone who doesn't really like to navigate websites, I know that the only sites that would capture my attention (no matter the content) are those that actually look nice at first sight. That was hard for me to figure out how to do, but I did it, so... Yay for Me!!

Challenge:

I still haven't figured out how I'm actually going to make money out of my website, but I'm still working on these courses so I'm sure I'll get there at some point...

My Plans:

In the next three months, I plan to have a fully operating website, which means, a visually appealing website filled with interesting content, high rankings, and already making money.

In the next six months, I plan to have an income out of this website.

So, here I am, and I'm actually enjoying the process.... that's the best part! Who wants to do job that they hate doing??? Isn't that the reason why most of us joined WA in the first place?

So, if you're not motivated to work on your website, give yourself a quick check. Do you actually like your niche?

I'd love to hear your comments...

Thanks for listening!
