My First 5 Days at WA

As a social media fanatic, I am constantly posting, uploading, tagging and promoting things I love. It only made sense that I start blogging and try to earn some money out of it. But how do I start a blog and make it successful?

I am a HUGE Pinterest fan and have been reading several pins about blogging and starting an online business, but never really had the guts to start. One day, my friend sent me a pin about "How to Make Money Blogging". I almost didn't read it, thinking it was the same article I've read before and it would get me nowhere. But I read it anyway and I am SO glad I did.

The article talked about the different ways to earn money blogging but also referenced top grossing blogs and where to start. Wealthy Affiliate. He referred to WA as an "online training center that will teach you how to make money blogging". Intrigued, I clicked the link and signed up for a Free Trial. What did I have to lose?

My 7 month old so was kind enough to take a 2.5 hour nap and I knocked out the first 5 lessons! I was overwhelmed with the amount of education I was receiving (for FREE) and the fast support I was getting from a community of like-minded individuals that were excited for my future success. I continued to explore the site and within my first hour I had 20 followers, all introducing themselves and welcoming me to WA. I discovered that the founders of WA have a "Pay-it-Forward Philosophy" that encourages you to involve yourself within the WA community. This leads to motivation, encouragement, support, assistance, developing relationships, gaining traffic and building confidence.

Within the first 2 days, I had completed all 10 lessons!

I look forward to signing in to my WA account everyday and discovering more learning tools, comments from fellow members with words of encouragement and helpful suggestions, and utilizing the immense amount of training in one location. Wealthy Affiliate gave me a major boost of confidence and supplies me with the knowledge I would have never received if I ventured my online business alone.

I look forward to becoming a Premium member (hopefully within the next 40 hours to receive my HUGE discount on my first month) and starting Course 2, developing a stronger foundation for my website, meeting more members and earning rankings through my involvement in the WA community.

Stay tuned for Week 2 on my journey at Wealthy Affiliate
