If you do not diversify your approach to obtain income but rather rely solely on your website to provide for you in the short term, you may become impatient in your financial progress. You should know by now that it will take about a year before you will be earning enough from your website to call it a full-time income and this depends on how often and hard you work at it.

Becoming financially wealthy through your own website creation will take years of hard work. Every successful online entrepreneur will tell you that it takes time and an entrepreneurial spirit. But as Kyle often says, your website is the foundation to your success online. I would like to take that one step further and say, your education at Wealthy Affiliate is that foundation to your success.

By using the education you acquire at WA and by letting your entrepreneurial creativity flow, this education will be the foundation for the diversification in income. So what can you take away from your WA education that can make you money in addition to what you hope your website can do?

DO FOR OTHERS WHAT YOU ALREADY DO

Since you already have the knowledge of how to build a website, how to write content, how to do keyword research, how to do SEO, how to do social media marketing, how to do email marketing, video marketing, PPC, and any of the other forms of internet marketing taught here at WA, take that knowledge and offer your services to others.

Now though you are probably thinking to yourself what a great idea that is, I don’t want you to think it was something I came up with on my own. This “idea” is something many other members of Wealthy Affiliate already do. They know all too well that relying solely on their websites is not a smart path to take when their websites are in their infant stages.

Though our websites eventually come around to being money makers, for myself I will continue to diversify my money making opportunities. I have always believed in not putting all of my money making eggs into one basket. And if you have not guessed it by now, writing content is something I enjoy doing, mainly because I like to hold conversations with people and that is all content is, a written conversation.
