Making progress - 2 weeks and a bit

It's been just over 2 weeks since joining WA, and I feel like I've made a lot of progress.

I've got both my sites up and running, content and the layout I like in each. Need lots more content but that is coming - it's just a matter of having enough time to do everything!

I got my first WA referral on the 12th day of my WA membership - my site was only live for 3 days and had only just gotten indexed by Google when the first referral came in! I think that's an awesome result - one, or a few referrals won't make me rich, but everyone should know it's possible, and looking for steady growth is the key. It takes time and work, and lots of learning.

I've gotten adsense activated on my cooking site, and Google tells me the clicks and money should start rolling in LOL. I'm going to have to learn to filter the ads a bit better - I really don't believe that a mum of 53 looks 27 and is making the cosmetic surgeons angry...be gone spammy cream! If only I could get someone to buy something through Amazon before my 30 days is up and the account gets cancelled.

One thing I need to do is get my social media moving. I have Yummly on the cooking site (I really like their recipe cards - so easy to use!), and I've set up some facebook pages and twitter accounts - need content into them as well, which is a bit slower going.

And Google analytics... argh still so much to set up!

Unfortunately I've gotten a job offer that I just can't refuse ... unfortunately - sounds wrong doesn't it? It is fortunate, I'm lucky to have this opportunity with my IT career to support my family. But it does mean that I'll have less time for WA. I still plan to keep going - eventually I want to be in a position where I can tell the corporate gig I don't need their money :)

That's it for now - love being able to report some progress - I'm not even through the Get Started Course or the Affiliate Bootcamp. I suspect finishing those will take me a couple of months to do properly. Patience is the key :)
