Wealthy affiliate newbie
Only action brings change
Since having the journey I did to have my baby boy, the miscarriages and the two rounds of IVF, I knew I did not want to go back to the normal grind of being an employee. Don't get me wrong I have had some interesting jobs and have even been my own boss as a painter and decorator! But that wasn't going to be possible with a new baby, and anyway I definitely didn't want to have to leave him with someone else while I spend the whole day missing him and potentially missing out on important milestones!
I trudged through the internet, signing up to countless dead end promises of being able to make money online. I nearly even took out a loan for a what would have been more like a pyramid scheme because I had watched a few videos of people making great money and also hiding the fact you would need at leave 7 grand to start up your so called business if you wanted to make real BIG money. But following my google search of 'how to make money online', I accidentally came across a video of someone who is already a part of Wealthy affiliate program. I say accidentally I mean I know how these things work, there's no such thing as an accident on the internet really is there?
Sign up for free
Now! This is where it kinda go me thinking, where's the catch? I mean there's always a catch right! No one offers something for free here in the big world web! Well actually Wealthy affiliate did just that. Offered a free 7-day trial to be able to attend some lessons to building your very own website that you can use to do affiliate marketing. And.... no I did not have to enter my bank details either to be able to access this free training to make money online.
So what did I do?
Yeh I signed up of course. I mean what did I have to lose. I wanted a way to get informed about affiliate marketing, but also I had no clue about building a website! Nope, no idea at all. So I bit the bullet and I signed up.
I was nervous of course. I mean I thought how can I build a website! I'm not computer savvy at all. I did not really believe I'd be able to do it. But the training program set up here is perfect. As long as you follow the videos and do each instruction as you finish one video, before long you have your very own website! All yours. For free.
Is wealthy affiliate worth upgrading
Well all I can say is I did not use all my 7 free days! I was so excited that I had such a brilliant program that I could actually learn from, and one day develop some income from, if I put in the hard work I signed up for the Premium within like 2/3 days. I haven't been at all disappointed with the level of training and community here at wealthy affiliate. It's definitely got it's very own family feel to it. All of here trying our best to make it on the internet so we can live a more free life in the future. The skills I have learned so far will stay with me no matter happens.
Thus far I have my very own web page set up and have been focusing on getting my content posts out as much as possible between breastfeeding, nappy changes and dancing around entertaining a newborn. I feel like it gave me a purpose on top of being a new mum again. Something to aim for, for our future. I know nothing happens overnight but only action brings change!
You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great!

I don't even remember how I heard it of WA, but I believe we were all pointed towards WA. I don't believe anything on or off the Internet is accidental. I believe all of us at WA were guided here by the Universe/God/The Divine. What we do after that is up to us of course. :)
Yes very true I agree! I hope things are working well for you right now ☺️
Yes it is or reasonably so. I'm working on notes for my site on branding in my OneNote and on the last task of the keywords lesson, then it will be onto the next lesson. At least I can do that on my phone. I'm also listening to Pat Flynn's podcast Smart Passive Income, which is helping as my target audience for making passive income is senior citizens who want to build or even rebuild their nest egg with passive income, of which affiliate marketing is a part. Have an awesome weekend.
Sounds like your preparing yourself well and doing your best for a firm foundation this time round. I do it all on my phone too! Whilst I’m feeding my baby usually. Until he demands more of my attention of course. I’m trying not ti get sucked in to doing another website as I know that will make more effort for myself. I too am making notes but if what blogs I want to write. Finding time is hard as my baby is growing. He demands more of me engaging with him so I keep having to remind myself I am maternity leave for a reason. Lol.
Good luck 🤞
I never had kids, but take the time to be with the little one. They grow so fast. Enjoy this time.
