Hello everyone!

Well, it's been a week and a half, and I wanted to share my progress here within Wealthy Affiliate!

For starters, it feels like I've been a part of this community for so much longer than 11 days. The helpful friendly attitude of everyone here is a really really great thing.

I started here as a total newbie. I have a personal blog that I write in every now and again, and I've always wanted to get involved in the business side of things when it comes to blogging. I happened to stumble across WA and decided to give it a whirl. By now I have my website up and running (of course there is still a LOT of room to grow) and I feel like I can really do this! I know that I have a lot to learn yet, but I LOVE that. I love that I can continuously learn and that there are always more trainings, more ideas, and people willing to help you.

Here is a link to my website Love My Curly Hair.

While I know that serious traffic takes a long time to develop, and it will probably be months before I'm earning any kind of money, I am happy to report that my website already has a couple hundred page views, in just 2 days! This may be insignificant to some, but for me, it is a HUGE success.

Sometimes I feel like I need to pinch myself thinking that I am the founder of my very own website, and that I know what to do with it and how the system works. Two weeks ago I was oblivious. Crazy, right?

Within the next 3 months, my goal is to keep working at it, getting comfortable with it, not getting discouraged, and make my first sale! Within 6 months I hope to still be actively learning and figuring out ways to better my website, my business, and myself.

Long story short, I am very happy here and love what I'm doing so far! Thanks for reading!

Cheers,

Sheridan
