After One Month in WA
I began the WA journey at the beginning of this year with unsure and cautious expectations. I said to myself, I will give it one month and then decide if WA is worth pursuing. Here are a few observations.
Why Did I Fail in the Past?
I have been involved in many other ventures dealing with websites and other online content only to lose interest after a short while. I would lose interest not because I didn’t make any money, but rather nobody was paying attention to what I wanted to say. One of the most basic fundamentals of communication was lacking; listening and wanted to be heard. Whether it was the wrong audience or my boring writing style or a combination of both, the point was instead of choosing to improve a writing style or selecting a different group of people, I simply gave up.
Why I Plan to Stay with WA and Not Give Up?
So far the WA community has covered my issues of giving up in the past with a few examples. WA member are engaging always eager to listen and give advice on a wide range of topics; my niche is a lot of people’s worst nightmare, yet I still receive positive support.
I observe great interaction between members and have yet to see any negativity or bravado that is so prevalent in many other communities like social media.
The learning process is another reason why WA has my confidence. In past attempts to achieve success, I always wanted to run instead of learning to walk first. I noticed I was repeating the same mistake when beginning here. The great interaction and education here somehow told me to stop running, slow down and start learning the right way. I began to actually listen to the lessons and accept great advice from fellow members
Current Progress
So far I find myself improving in a lot of areas and I see ways of creating ways to harness my interests into something more tangible. I have created two websites; reptyrog.com and rinkhal.com(still needing much content!). Both of these sites focus on two of my passions in life. The first one is starting to come together by looking presentable and having decent structure, albeit temporarily lacking some of my passionate writing. The second site is still in the creation and ideas phase. Both site I have some really cool ideas and will share soon.
Looking Ahead
I don’t want to get way ahead of myself with overinflated monetary goals, but as for right now I plan on learning much as I can by way of interaction within the WA community the quality lessons. When I began to see any monetary success, then maybe I will be able to update goals.
Finally
For all those who have given me feedback, sound advice, and following me, I greatly appreciate the support.For all that have just read this, thank you for viewing my profile, my work and I encourage you to interact with me by commenting, asking questions, and giving advice. Please visit reptyrog.com and let me know what you think.
Thank you,
Matthew

I had a look at your site and left you a lengthy comment asking you some questions. I am not exactly sure how we are supposed to network when we comment on other's sites. Your security/questions asked for my website URL, and I gave one of the sites I have built. If you create a future post answering some of the content engaging questions I have asked in the part about wild snakes, could you let me know about it? and maybe include a link to my other site which is homegrownprosperity.siterubix.com ? thanks. That is the site which includes some of the story in which my unusual wild snake encounter came up, so should have been the one I entered when your site asked me the question but I didn't think of it.
Hi Hurricane! Thanks for the questions. I will look into adding some features to assist. You questions also got my brain working and now thinking of some ideas. Once I get in front of the computer, I will investigate. This is some good banter for both of us. I will also use your link somehow to benefit you. Thanks!

Reptyrog I took a look at your site and found it informative, easy on the eyes, and a very nice lay out. I definitely think you're on to something and encourage you to continue developing your content.
Aww Thanks. It should be further along. I just get so neurotic and indecisive on a lot of things. Many ideas, just will take sometime to develop. Thanks for the nice words. By the way, All the photos except two are my own. Maybe my next web idea will be photography. Thanks again LeannL. Please keep in touch. Matthew
