It's my pleasure, Giselle! :)

Hi Patsy :)

Short and simple tips but definitely doing. I sometimes have to remind myself of them too! Lol (Tend to check stats sometimes too often).

Thanks for stopping by!

You are welcome!

I agree, we all need reminders.

I used to check the stats often but that was months ago. Now it's when I remember :)

Definitely we need reminders. Sometimes I like going back to my tutorials on purpose. Oh well :)

Haha! you are so cute! made me laugh ;)

Thanks Mahesh and glad you found these tips useful! :)

Happy to help Jacob! :)

Thank you, I tried my best :)

Hey Raymond, I am glad to be useful! I am back to WA and I will work towards new tutorials that will be useful to you and the rest of the community :)

Hi Rob,
Great to see you again!
Thanks for stopping by :)
How do you enjoy Wealthy Affiliate so far?? Must be a lot of training videos on your list, eh?!

Yeah, my eyes are on fire! I just noticed you were ranked like 30th! I am like, wow, but then they fixed it, but still you know, that's good. You've created a lot of content for WA, would you advise to do the same or is better to concentrate on the affiliate content in terms of $$$?

Yeah, Rob, yesterday there was a glitch, but still I am very close to top 50 :) I am here almost every day and I try to provide as much help as possible. I even started making the motivational quotes/images to post them here for motivation :)

Being active here is a good thing (personally I enjoy it a lot) - but number one thing you should concentrate on is creating GOOD content on your personal (!) blog/website.

Myself I fell behind with proper posting on time due to lots of changes going on in my life at the moment (in the moving process, part-time job stuff, financial matters to take care of), but once I move to a new place, I will get back to consistent blogging on my blogs as well.

My point is that good content is definitely #1 thing you should focus on and every successful blogger will tell you this.

I would suggest not getting too ahead of yourself, by which I mean thinking about advertising, selling merchandise and ad space is not something you'll have to worry about first unless your blog is so amazing that it catches fire from the start (that'd be awesome if you did!).

Your major goal is to create compelling content that fills a need and to has an audience who will want to read your blog consistently, not just the first time they visit. You want to fill your site with content that will make them want to come back and stay on your page longer to decrease your bounce rate.

Hope this helps!

One more thing to double check with you - when you said "to concentrate on the affiliate content in terms of $$$" - did you mean creating a website specifically promoting WA, like the Affiliate Bootcamp training teaches? Or you meant something else?

Yep, you've got it, that's exactly what I was asking, thx!

You can create a website promoting specifically WA if online business and blogging is something of interest to you - as long as you enjoy doing it! Online business is a way to free ourselves from office slavery, so it shouldn't be doing something we hate!

Personally, I'm interested in the topic of self development, as well as blogging and online business as I have a lot of knowledge accumulated on those two topics, so that's why I decided to build two websites. Ideally, it's better to have one and put all the energy into it - but I decided to do so anyway. Takes a lot of energy and time though! But I'm loving it.

So my suggestion to you is create a website with the topic you enjoy talking about every day :)

Hope it helps, Rob!

Hi Zarina, thanks for the helpful training. I have a niche website and I'm thinking of starting another one on blogging/starting an online business. Do you think that's a good idea or should I just focus on my current blog? I'm also thinking of writing a 'how to start a blog' post on my niche website to promote WA.

Btw, it looks like the link to your time management training isn't working anymore.

Hey Yvonne!

1) Frankly, it's extremely challenging to keep up even with two websites if you're doing it solo and don't outsource content (have people write for you).

In Amazon niches, it might be ok outsourcing but in terms of blogging websites, sometimes it's best to write it all yourself. Some people say it's a waste of money.

I don't know. I have an Amazon niche website and an old WA website though I am started a new website for WA and will work on it instead of an old WA blog (too much to re-work there).

2) How to start a blog post - you can sure write it but if you're asking if the keyword is fine, I will be honest, it might be challenging to write for it.

Maybe try finding more long tail keyword thats less competitive.

3) Yeah, thanks for pointing it out! I disabled the tutorial and used it to write a post on my new WA website. In case you still want to read about it, here it is: https://laptoplifestylebeauty.com/productivity-and-time-management-tips

That website doesn't have much content yet and I had no energy or ideas so I used my WA's tutorial because it wasn't super popular here lol.

Hope this helps!

Hi Zarina!

Yes, I can imagine it will be very challenging to keep up with two websites if one is doing it alone. One site is already taking up so much of my time and energy.

I blog about soup and South-East Asian recipes. Can I make the site into an Amazon niche?

I just read the training on your blog. I left a comment! Thanks for your helpful tips :)

Hey Olga,
It is my absolute pleasure! :)
Hope you enjoy the blogging as a full-time blogger sometime in the future!
And WELCOME to WA!! :)

Hi Laurie,

I found out about Grammarly after I wrote this training but am using it now with success! And it's definitely convenient!
Sometimes I type fast, so I don't even pay attention but highlighted words by Grammarly make me stop and edit before submitting. Great tool.

Actually, I did include the time management training tutorials (even two of them) after this very first training tutorial.
Feel free to check them out: Effective Time Management Tips and Effective Use of Time in Business Let me know what you think!
Thanks for stopping by,
Zarina

You are on the best track. I like your work and ideas. I wish you the best.

Hi Laurie,
Thank you for your kind words and motivation!!!
Likewise, I wish you all the success in the world! :)

That is true time management is very important because time is running short and if we do not find a way to work or study at WA, we will always slack back.

Definitely - we have to be disciplined enough to make use of our time.

Sorry, just saw your comment!

Hi Don,
Thank you :) I'm glad this training is useful!
Cheers,
Zarina

Straight to the point, Hindy!
Nothing else to add to your comment, as I 10000% agree with you.
Thanks for taking your time to check out my first training on WA!
It is much appreciated :)
Zarina

Absolutely right, Axel!
Thanks for taking your time to check out this tutorial.

Hi Charley,

Well, I always start my day with a cup of coffee :))

I usually try to work both on blog and on WA page once I am on laptop, so first I would post certain WA resources on Twitter.

Then I would work on my blog content. I have an outline of the things I want to write about but my topic is about personal development and success, so my blog posts turn out to be deep enough. However, I do reply to the comments that I receive on my blog to ensure good "site health".

This being said, it takes me longer to work on website's content, yet I try to spend a bit of time on WA content every day.

How is it for you Charley?

Thank you for stopping by!
Zarina

Looks like you are a very organized person. Anyway, people tend to preach what they believe and practice.

Hey Cephas,
I try my best to be as organized as possible!
I have high ambitions, and those ambitions won't be accomplished doing nothing :)

Hey Zarina
I love the phrase "I try my best" I usually hear such phrases from only humble people

Your comment made me smile :) Thanks!

I am all over the place. Trying to reign it all in. I just read and participated in your time management post. I have my list and plan. It really helps to keep it simple.

It also really pays to reach out for help when you need it. :) Thanks!

Hi Charley,
I know the feeling - sometimes it's hard. But it all just a practice of habit, I believe.
That's great news about time management! Let me know if that strategy works :)
Feel free to reach me out whenever!
Best of luck,
Zarina
