So Far with WA.
Since joining the WA I wanted to share where what I have accomplished as well as the problems I have encountered and where I plan to go. I have created that particular page a couple months ago initially and have continued to work on it.
I created a pretty interactive website. Over all, I do feel in a nice site and on the feed back it seems to get good reviews. I have learned out to create it as well as SEO information. I do find the SEO a bit tedious on the website and was happy to find another member's blog on what to look for on the SEO in getting the content and keywords to get the dash board lights go switch colors for readability and key wording. I did get the site indexed though to be honest I have yet been able to find my site under keywords in the google ratings list or pages. So my page is really buried many pages back which means no one will find it. Oh the domain is mine that I purchased.
Here is where This is getting bogged down. This is have problems with getting an email list up and running on this site, and I do have mail chimp. This is a must before I decide to try any type of ppc advertising. I created a google+ site, and need to work on my face book page. This is dragging my feet a bit on this one because of how intrusive it is in my personal world/bubble it is. I want my private life private so with that said just want to make a business page. I've been looking into and going to do a fresh linkedin page.
This is truly not liking the speed at which and developing my site, and it has nothing to do with WA but everything to do with me. I haven't messed with any of these things so This is trying to learn on the fly. Unfortunately my fly time is very limited from my long days at work. I have even considered hiring a person to fully develop the sight and get it high ratings for the purpose of a site framework that I could use to duplicate.
My goals are to create multiple sights which do own a few domains for. This will happen and will learn to make good copy for the sites. Writing isn't my strongest points and especially where it comes to writing in a way SEO likes. I.E. transition words and phrases. There is a large market out there for individuals to make a good profit and it can be rather overwhelming or disheartening when results are slow in coming. It much harder to promote items when in competition with mega businesses with huge advertising budgets. But, it is very doable and will take time as with everything else in life.

Seems like a long row to hoe but we will get there,,I too have a full plate outside of this family, i'm still way behind you but I'm following your footsteps
thanks, its a lot and really need to listen to people here because its too easy to waste money on scammers. We need to plugging along.
Hey brother! The key for me personally was removing all the noise and extra bells and whistles and focusing purely on content creation. Nothing more, nothing less.
2-3 posts per week, optimized as best I could, with solid on-page SEO, followed by immediately getting comments for the article from SiteComments and the give and take comments thread, then sharing to social media. That's it. I'd share to G+, Facebook, and twitter. No LinkedIn page for me. No Pinterest. I keep it simple.
Do that, and then just move on to the next article. Don't worry about checking your analytics or on what page your post is ranked. Don't worry about if people on G+ are sharing your liking your posts. All that is out of your control anyway, so just push forward with consistent quality content as this is the one thing you do control. Google LOVES this.
Let's say you go 4 months of doing this and see no change. Guess what? Push forward and do it for another 2 months. And after that? Another 2 months more. Seems crazy right? But it's truly the secret sauce. Everyone quits before doing this and that's exactly what it takes.
With regards to your email list, you don't need one prior to PPC. If you did, Kyle would have you complete that step first, right? I don't have an email list. Will I try one in the future, maybe, but first it's all about one thing at a time, right? Trust the system, brother :) Simplify, simplify, simplify.
You've actually made solid progress and are ahead of where many are. Don't forget that.
Thanks for the tips, I will post here from time to time. I will try to post a couple times a week or at least once a week see how it works out..

I understand what you are saying, it feels like you hit the ground running. I also feel like my website is invisible, but I guess with perseverance there will be a positive outcome.
Thank you for the comment. Yes, it is a lot.. but I knew it would a persistent effort to make any kind of profit. My blog was also part of the certification course, as well as what I really see and feel.
