Day 5 - Missed a beat

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

I had high hopes today - of getting lots of blog posts written for my affiliate website, plus maybe another recipe or two up on my cooking website. Fail... had a really early start to my day, in my non-WA life, then sat down with my laptop about 2:30 to write a couple of articles, and didn't even get as far as opening the website. Totally fell asleep with my laptop on my lap - this is the first thing I've written all day!

Oh well - still moving along. I have read a couple of really great tutorials in the classroom so that's productive. Including one which said I shouldn't add toooo many affiliate links or I'll drive people away - which is really good because I was starting to feel a bit too spammy. Yes, I want to make money from my niche and my affiliate site (because, let's face it, this is taking up a fair amount of my time, and my time is valuable), but I also want to help people. So I need to concentrate more on just adding value, writing good content and getting my sites some traffic.

But now - it's time to feed the pets and get family dinner. Since I napped all afternoon maybe I'll be up writing later tonight :)
