Hi I am back!

Hi WA community,I’m not exactly sure what I’m hoping for by writing this, but I’m back to being more active here and I really want to get involved in the community side of WA, connect with like-minded people, and focus on slow growth instead of hustling.A bit of background: I first came across WA during a very stressful time in my life – the pandemic – and like many others, it brought a lot of insecurities for my family, especially financial ones. I was self-employe

How Do You Spend Your Time on WA?

I relly want to be more engaged on WA's platform but find the amount of information on here overwhelmig. I've don the initial trainings but would love to hear if there is a system others use to keep their time on this platform productive..I'd love to hear from those on here what best practices are for a) organizing the information and courses on here for themselves so they know what next to look at and b) how to create connections with others on here. I find I often lose the threads of comments

1 year anniversary of my first blog

I am sitting in the darkness of my livingroom, while everyone else if now asleep. Starting a blog as a mother to a toddler turned out more challenging that I ever imagined. I thought I would have come further but with everything in life, the more you learn, the more you realize you still don't know.I am so grateful that the pandemic led me down this path of blogging. I really believe that if I continue to work and learn consistently I will also start seeing an income. When I started, I said I'd

update on my 10 month old blog

Hi EveryoneI haven't written a blog post on this platform since January. I've been actively working on my blog but feel like I've lost momentum following up with people here at WA.HOW DO YOU KEEP YOURSELF ACTIVELY SOCIALIZING AND KEEPING UP WITH ALL THE TRAINING AVAILABLE HERE AT WA?!!Overall I do admit that after that first push of adreline starting my blog (which i would say I worked on intensley for 6 months) has died down a bit. I have come to terms that this is the long game and trying to

My Second Success Post - Improved Rankings on the Hoth!

Good EveningI wanted to share a success of mine here. Blogging since July 2020 as a newbie and just now starting to feel like I am starting to understand what I am doing (most days).I check my rankings via Hoth.com and they will show you the rank of any keywords below 100. Obviously we want to be between 0-10 but seeing a post cut through that sea of rank 100 is so thrilling.For a long time I had 2 general keywords I was ranking for under 100.

Blogging Goals in 2021 the S.M.A.R.T Way

Working S.M.A.R.T.The hardest part of writing goals is setting them up with clear actions that can be measured.I'd like to write, I want to make $5,000/month net by the end of the year. Wow that would be so awesome for me, however I really have no idea what that means for my blog. I don't know how to break down that goal in actionable steps. (If you do please let me know!)What I am doing instead is looking at what I'd like my blog to be doing in the next 12 months and let the money or traffic p

You are Probably Using too Many Affiliate Links

I finished the main training. I could have definiltey done it faster, but I found myself really digging into the content creation and started following the videos less regularly. This was a big mistake as its so important to methologically make time for learning and I was happy to have come to finish the last coure this week.Within the course Kyle went into further detail on his linking strategy and how it affects google but also the customer's purchasing cycle.Where do Affiliate Links go?Basic

3 step strategy to curb negative blogging thoughts

I have been feeling overwhelmed. I started this blog out of pure necessity when Covid hit and I'll be truthful here: I ate up all those blogging guru's promises about making thousands within the first 3-6months. I thought to myself, this is my way out of financial distress as my current business got hit hard and my future felt unknown. I've learned enough now to realize that success doesn't come that fast for most. (If it did for you consider yourself lucky). I've realized that learning and bui
