Technology Sucks!

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

I have an online business apart from WA, but I have always paid someone else to manage the technical part of things for me. But, I always felt like I was at a disadvantage because I just didn't understand all aspects of my business. When I joined the WA community, I promised myself that I would go through every single lesson and figure out each piece before moving on to the next step. If I didn't understand something, I would ask questions or Google it until I found a suitable answer.

Let me tell you, it has been an interesting experience thus far! I have definitely learned a lot, maybe more than I ever wanted to =)

At first I got frustrated with myself for not understanding things quicker and being able to get things right the first time. But, I am appreciating my mistakes now because I feel like I am fully understanding how to fix problems with my site as they come up.

I am so appreciative to everyone that has patiently answered my questions and given me great feedback on how to make improvements. I have even taken back some control from my website designers of my other business since I understand the layout better now! I understand more of what they are talking about now and can better convey to them what I want my other website to look like.

I have had my struggles with technology the last couple of weeks, for sure! So, technology does suck, but I am starting to get the hang of it. Yay! I thought for sure I was going to rip all of my hair out this last week when I was trying to set up the eBay affiliate network links. I eventually chose just not to participate in the program, because it ended up not being a good fit for me (and not because of technology). I do still have hair, by the way. =)

Anyway, that is all from me for now. Except to say that if you need to take your time with the lessons then I would recommend doing so. Be patient with yourself and try to learn it right the first time. It has worked wonders for me so far!
