How are you doing my wonderful WAmily?

Hope you are all safe, healthy and doing great!~^

Just want to share a recap of my Wealthy Affiliate Online Business Journey.

August 2020: Signed up to WA

Before I signed up as a free starter on the 24th and went premium monthly on the 26th, I have...

• NO IDEA on AFFILIATE MARKETING
• NO IDEA on BUILDING WEBSITES
• NO IDEA on ONLINE BUSINESS
• NO IDEA about NICHEs

I, basically, described myself as a frog coming out of the well exploring a whole new world.

September 2020: Got Rolling with OEC Training But Almost Quitted

I loved the training... However, we all know that as we progress in the training. almost every lesson involved WRITING A KEYWORD RICH CONTENT.

One or two articles, I was fine. Though I was not sure if they passed as keyword rich contents. I was able to write two articles.

But third.... my brain was already bleeding... no more ideas coming...

TIME TO FACE REALITY... AND ACCEPT IT...

• I am NOT A WRITER... NOT A BLOGGER... In fact, my very first blog experience is here in WA. I am not fond of social media either.
• WRITING IS NOT MY THING.
• I chose a niche according to what I am passionate about.
• But I have to admit, I DON'T REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT A NICHE IS!!!
  
• (I thought) my CHOSEN NICHE is TOO BROAD.. TOO AMBITIOUS for me.
• (I thought) I CHOSE THE WRONG NICHE.
• I DON'T HAVE SUFFICIENT KNOWLEDGE about it.
• Much to say, I AM NOT AN EXPERT on it.
• That means, I CAN'T WRITE about it
• I DON'T KNOW how to write...
• I DON'T HAVE ANY IDEA what to write...

DILEMMA... HIT THE WALL... NOWHERE TO GO... KAPUT...

• Stating the same reasons above, I wrote to Kyle that I'M QUITTING... I CAN'T GO ON WITH THE TRAINING.

THINKING TWICE... THRICE... RECONSIDERING... CHALLENGING MYSELF...

• Hey!... I AM NOT A WRITER NOR A BLOGGER...
• However, I AM NOT A QUITTER, TOO!!!

October 2020: Retraced My Path, Started Again

• I gave MYSELF A CHANCE...AT LEAST A YEAR TO FIND MY WAY IN THIS BUSINESS...
• Signed up to premium yearly.
• Pulled the breaks on my OEC Training.
• Read a lot of WA blogs and trainings... Got some inspiration...
• STARTED AGAIN from LEVEL 1... Went through the lessons again
• Learned about niches and low hanging fruit.
• DELETED ALL MY PREVIOUS SITE CONTENT.
• Did research... research... more research... for my articles
• Wrote new posts... By the end of the month.. I had three new posts.

November 2020 - Taking Small Steps

• As part of the training, I started asking for site comments and feedbacks.
• And in return, I need to offer the same to others, too.
• Offering site comments and feedbacks gave me more learnings on niches and of course, more ideas about a niche website.
• I was able to write at least two more posts.
• I got stuck at Level 3...
• I wanted to make sure I have all the required keyword rich content before proceeding.

December 2020 - Moving Forward

• I was able to write two more posts.
• My writing speed is at least one post a week (too slow but I'm fine).
• I started polishing my website.
• I created my YouTube channel cause I was told it was not advisable to use other people's work to avoid legal problems later.
• I took my own photos and videos as visuals for my articles,
• More effort... more labor... but I'm gaining MORE SKILLS, too.
• AIO SEO update came... worked on all my articles to be SEO compliant.

January 2021 - Achieving Results

• 1st Week. Revising, rewriting and updating my older posts for the SEO.
• 2nd Week. Published a new article. I wrote a few drafts for new articles. And started editing photos and videos for the visuals of my next articles.
• 3rd week. I, now have a total of 9 posts. Yup... ONLY 9 posts including the About Me post... But I STARTED SEEING RESULTS for my hard work already.
• My blog on tags kind of sum it all. https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/roselee2020/blog/its-the-tag...

My last posts were about "success", "achievement", "ranking on page 1"...

But I want to point out that those are PROGRESS MADE BY SMALL STEPS.

And I wish this could encourage others who are going through the same struggles as mine.

IF I CAN DO IT, YOU SURELY CAN DO, TOO!!! 💖💖💖

Cheers to our success in 2021!!! 🥂

Best Wishes,

Rose
