Because Course 4, Lesson 7, Says to do this.
OK, so, that is just me trying to be funny. I decided to instead of blogging about anything in particular, I would just answer each of the questions in this lesson the best I can. This was written yesterday, however, I had already blogged once and didn't know I couldn't post twice within my first 30 days. Any changes from yesterday will now be in bold at the end of each answer. So here we go.
1.Your progress thus far - I am 7 days shy of one month here on WA and it has really been a learning experience. I am on Course 4, Lesson 7 and continuing the learning process. I have really buckled down to get through the training and building my site. A slower process than I anticipated, but that is because I always feel I should do better, faster. If I don't push myself, no one else will. (today, 6 days shy of one month)
2.Your website that you have created - My website is called Time For Improvement. I want to show people they are capable of accomplishing so much more in life if they just start to believe in themselves. I want to use my personal life lessons as motivators for others. One simple one being, I flunked 9th grade English and had to take 11th and 12th grade English as a Senior just to pass high school. Now look, I'm blogging! I'm not perfect nor the best writer out there but if I can do this, you can too.
3.Something you have learned thus far. - I've learned there are many more people out in this world willing to help others and for nothing in return than the mainstream news actually shows the world. I see that here first hand. Before starting with this training, I was only on Facebook and now I am on Google+, Instagram, Pinterest and Twitter. I didn't ever think that would happen.
4.A question that you may have. - So this is a money question. I have no problem and also understand that it takes time, patience and work to start making a real living in this business, but is there anyone out there that have started making a couple hundred within say, the first 3 months? Maybe you had to put the time in to accomplish that, but I would like to hear those stories. Maybe there is somewhere within here to read success stories and I just don't know about it. I believe this would help many people here not lose site of their dreams. (not concerned about myself, but I do enjoy reading success stories and if they are any like this, how cool would that be to go to a page and read about them)
5.Any successes (not just financial, but things you are proud of) - These are just superficial but I like watching my ranking get lower and lower. The first time I actually saw the ranking I was at 201,000+ and now I am at 10,493. To be honest, I can't wait until tomorrow because I have a good shot at being under 10,000. Also, it says I have written 20,252 words, more than 95% of other WA members so that tells me I am doing pretty good I think. (My new ranking number this morning is 9,400...woo hoo)
6.Your plans and goals in the upcoming 3 months - I remember writing this earlier in another course and as much as I do not like changing my goals, sometimes I have to see how I am doing and adjust. My goals for the next three months is finishing all the courses, along with the Affiliate Bootcamp courses and really concentrating on marketing and fine tuning my website. I really want to be bringing in a few hundred to possibly one thousand dollars per month by then.
7.Your plans and goals in the upcoming 6 months - Within 6 months, I would like to have learned most of the tricks of the trade in getting everything I do ranked in Google. I want to continue building my site up enough to get approved by certain affiliate programs that have already turned me down due to being too new. I want to have my personal product that I created selling and start working on my next project.
Thank you to everyone who reads and comments. You are much appreciated, more than you know, especially to new people like myself.

You did make me smile! Good for you to be doing this so thoroughly. That's how you "get 'er done!". Will be fun to see where you are in 6 months!
Just curious, which programs turned you down? I'm with Awin.com and we don't turn someone down just because they are new!
I joined Amazon and Walmart but was turned down by Target. I joined ClickBank, ShareASale and now "Awin" (Thank you).but I got turned down by companies that I feel would help my niche. Even though I have my own personal product, I would have liked to join Tony Robbins, but he said no. I tried 1-800-flowers, but they also turned me down and Mindvalley as well. All because I am too small, not established enough.
I will get there.
Yes you will! Some of those merchants require more traffic than others, but the important thing is you are now in the Awin and ShareASale networks, so you can grow from there.
