I May Be Stuborn, But I AM NOT A Quitter!

So, where to begin...

Well, I've been a proud WA member for about 4 months now, and I've learned alot.

I learned that niche selection is VERY important, and that you better have quality content ideas out the ying yang if you expect to make any decent amount of money out of it.

Well, I'm ashamed to admit that I fell victim to picking a somewhat difficult niche for a first timer, and that I went about it the wrong way, as well as being diagnosed with "shiny object syndrome", as in, I was more distracted by what wasn't as important than what is important, such as creating quality content that offers the reader value.

Though I haven't made as much progress as I had hoped these past 4 months, it definitely hasn't been a waste of time either.

I have learned SO MUCH from my mistakes, and feel that I now am on the right path.

Like they all say, and rightfully so: "follow the training", well, I can now honestly say, amen to that.

I should have took Kyle's advice in the begging and went with promoting WA since I couldnt think of a niche I wanted to do. It took me 5 days- FIVE DAYS! To decide my first of many niches.

Well, now I know.

From here on out, I will be creatign a WA website from scratch, and follow through with it until- well forever, since a site is never done ;)

And I'm depending on you guys to hold me accountable if I do otherwise!

Ahhh, if only all this time I had been doing that in the first place, oh well. Like I said, I'm EXTREMELY stubborn and more often than not, have to learn the hard way before anything sticks.

Well, I'm here to tell you-

IT'S STICKING!

To all my WA friends and those who have helped me learn the hard way-

Thank you :)

Your friend, and now new WA Affiliate,

Richie
