Something missing, feeling a little lost.

When I joined Wealthy Affiliate I was so pumped and excited that I found a community that would be able to help me finally make blogging successful for me. I started working through the certifications of WA and was building steam and momentum. I was so excited and could see the fruits of my labors and had people to celebrate with along the way.

Then it started to happen.

I wasn't getting any sales from any of my post. My site started slowing down in its speed and started to become not great on mobile devices. Even though right before this happened my site was indexed with Google and I started to place well with Google. I was loosing people on my site because of the time it took to load.

I worked on all of these issues but due to the time it was taking to work on these, I stopped writing content because I didn't have the time for that after working on getting my site back to an appropriate working stage. Which I had to have hired out and that cost was not cheap.

So, I have no sales, a website that is costing me to fix, no new content coming in, and my ranking was slipping away quickly. Then on a personal note outside of starting my online business, I had to change careers after serving in my past one for 28 years. The new direction because I was starting all over again was not paying enough to support my family.

So now what? Where does someone go from here? I knew it wasn't going to be easy to start my online business, but I guess I was hoping I could have enjoyed the momentum period a little longer than I did.

So what I am missing is not so much time, because we all have the same 24 hours a day and many of you are making it very well with your online business. Those same people who are making it well has most likely gone through the same start up problems and struggles that I a going through, so, this is why I don't think it is time, but, direction maybe.

I am welcoming any "specific" advice that anyone can speak into my situation to help me see the light at the end of the tunnel. Looking to those of you who have made it through what I am currently going through to speak into my situation as to the "what now" type of advice.

I would love for the next WA blog post of mine to be over the success of how this community helped me to turn this perfect storm around and make it through to the light at the end of the tunnel.

Thanks in advance for any help that any of you may be able to provide. Giving me specific advice, links, direction etc. to look into.
