My First Month at WA

Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

When I first began with WA, I admit, I felt completely overwhelmed. I had no idea what online marketing, niches or WordPress meant. However, I did have the goal of eventually making money online.

So I started from the beginning. I went into the lessons and followed them. I learned about blogging, how to build content and the steps to getting my site ranked. I put a lot of hours in learning and it paid off.

But more importantly, I learned to ask questions and learn about the value of the WA community. Everyone was so helpful and very informative about what it takes to have success using WA.

Before I knew it my site was up and ranked in Google. I even began to monetize it. It is just so amazing how far I've come in so little time.

My best advice for beginners is simple. Follow the steps and ask questions. Take the time to travel the WA University online campus. Everything you need is available by just clicking!

My next steps are to continue to edit and tweak my site and I hope to start helping others by sharing some of the great tips I learned along the way.

Thanks WA for the wonderful support.
