Overachievers R US

All my life I've felt as though whatever I did wasn't good enough. That perfectionist thing I mentioned in my last post has been a long-standing affair. The result is that it's difficult for me to see what I do as an actual accomplishment, so I go wayyyy overboard.

That said, I've been tasked with filling you in on my accomplishments since joining WA, two weeks ago today. This feels like it should be a list, so here we go:

  • Just finishing Course 2
  • Had oodles of fun playing with Jaaxy
  • Set up two websites, www.colloidalsilverfacts.com and affiliatemarketinguniversity.info, both very much works in progress
  • Took two lessons in the Affiliate Bootcamp, and obviously I need more :-)
  • Abandoned a website I decided I didn't like, www.howtolearnaffiliatemarketing.org. If anybody thinks it's worth revisiting, I will do so (sigh, failure!)
  • Set up google+ account and authorship
  • Fired up the twitter account I've had since 2010 but have never used, and actually sent out my first tweet, thanks to Steve of Leadership Lessons fame (you know who you are) and figured out how to get a twitter widget (although I'm not clear what it's for)
  • Indexed 500 of the photos on my computer, a never-ending task apparently...there are over 10,000 and counting
  • Published one of my subliminal videos "Alpha!" on YouTube.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8WrZK8cv2s. If you're worried about subliminals, you don't need to worry about this one, it's all about being powerful and strong and accomplished. I have no ulterior motive. Really. I actually made this video over a year ago, but never published it. It's not perfect, you know, so how could I? I have another one on weight loss...but I haven't posted it anywhere yet.

  • I applied what I learned about All In One SEO (which isn't much, but it's a start) and google authorship to another website I own, www.safeharborcredit.com. Which gets no traffic and has never sold anything (all our business comes from individual referrals, the website is almost incidental window dressing). Hopefully this will change with a little SEO and promo, which I'm just starting to do.

  • Set up an affiliate deal with TopDog Trading and put a couple of links on another website I'm developing, www.moneyloveandlaughter.com, which was way over my head technically.
  • Convinced the boyfriend that Empower Network was a scam and he should have nothing to do with it. Particularly since he wants ME to actually do the doing...and I won't!
  • Actually shared a few things on Facebook. Again, I've had the account for years but never even looked at it. Now I find it makes me smile.
  • Given up all hope of privacy in a very unprivate world!

I don't feel like I've accomplished much, simply because I haven't actually made any money! Isn't that the standard American measuring tool? Just kidding.

Truly my most important accomplishment is having developed the beginnings of great relationships with the people here at WA. It has been a serious challenge and a serious amount of fun. Thank you all for your support and just generally for being there and being the wondrous people you are!
