It's been a while since I have blogged here so I am writing this for some of the newbies who may be feeling a bit frustrated. I know the feeling. I joined back in Jamuary of 2016 and I can tell you that I thought this would be a bit easier than I expected at first. I figured how hard could it be. Write a few blogs and presto chango, add a few links and I would make some sales.

Screeech. Not so fast speedy. It doesn't work that way for most of us. In fact you may be thinking that writing blogs seems like a waste of time especially if you have written 20-30-100 blogs and haven't made any sales.

My advice is to ask questions from some of the people at Wealthy Affiliate on the Live Chat, ask your sponsor if you are feeling stumped. And be sure to take advantage of the training. If you miss something, go back and restudy the lessons but try and do it step by step and not skip lessons.

If I can do this anyoone can. I now have referrals which pays my membership and then some that I can use for other promotions. It hasnt been easy but over 400 blogs later my website is doing pretty good. But there is always room for improvement.

And that's what you have to think about. Don't pigeon hole yourself and branch out. If one niche doesn't seem like it's working, try another one. If your theme sucks, try another one. If your blogs aren't generating traffic, ask someone to check out your website and give you feedback.

Theoretically you could spend all day building your website, studying lessons and watching videos. But you have to also take breaks or you will burn out and get totally frustrated. Just remember Wealthy Affiliate gives you a number of ways to earn online whether you are promoting the platform or writing blogs on your niche site. Anything is possible.

With that said I hope you take your time and don't look at this as a race. It's not. It can be a slow go process but if you stick with it you will see success.

Ask questions, think outside of the box and go for it!
