Bouncing Back

A glance at my profile reveals that I joined WA in February, this year. However, that was for only a week, since I needed to upgrade in order to benefit from the full WA package, which I was not prepared to do at the time. Hence, my membership lay dormant until the beginning of August when I eventually upgraded.

So, in reality, I began my WA experience early August. I did very well following the training at the start. Within a week, I had my first website up and running, which was indexed by Google after another week. I was so excited, I attempted writing my first post within WA. I however didn't; I did have the appropriate cover image to accompany the post; I was thus prevented from posting.

It is worth mentioning that my dedication was not limited to the training alone, but even more to improving the website I had created. Things that I hadn't covered in the training (and which I'm not sure form part of the training, since WA is about affiliate marketing), I figured out on my own by navigating the website theme settings or by asking fellow WA members.

By doing so, I learned how to incorporate forms into my website, how to get customers pay by their preferred means, etc. on my own. All this was intended to get a fully functioning and income generating website by October which is the annual peak season of my niche. (My website is meant to provide a certain kind of service that customers would pay for)

I was very much up to the task as far as posting on my website is concerned. WA stats even mentioned that my posting rate was higher than that of 79% of the membership. I saw my rank improve; it was like magic. In short, I really applied myself to the work I had to do, and the results were palpable.

However, time was not on my side. Before I could complete all the necessary setup procedures, October had come. Moreover, my website had been in existence for only a couple of months, which was too short a time for it to be ranked by Google. Meaning, I eventually received no visitors, and consequently, did not make a dime from my website during the entire peak season.

Setting up the website and my offline peak season activities that followed (I'm involved with the same niche offline) prevented me from continuing regular training at WA. Even this post, which is part of the training, is long overdue. It should have been written since, but I was prevented from doing so by being overly busy; I simply had no time to settle down and key my thoughts. Moreover, my last two months subscriptions were paid just to maintain my membership - I had virtually no activity here at all.

However, as a consolation, I was able to pocket something good offline from my niche. I also managed to set up my website to a degree that is not expected of a newbie like myself. (No regret then...).

Finally, the dust has settled, and I have had a couple of weeks of real rest, I now return to the training afresh; energized as I was at the beginning, to achieve my WA goals in addition to getting my website ranked, in preparation for the next peak season. I therefore do not despair as I am currently bouncing back.

Thanks, Susan, for the encouragement.

Hi there, just keep at it! I'm not sure what your website is about or what your peak season is but if you keep at it and really build your website by the next peak season it will be all set and ready to get a ton of traffic!

You've said it all, Lynne.Thank you.
