Hey Mike, I gave up on the challenge and I really didn't want to. But too much going on in my life.

You did a great thing with this.

If you ever get down Tassie way look me up. And Jan too. We keep in touch. Once I get over this rotten cold she and Phil are coming down for lunch.

I hope the holiday season went well for you. Some lovely soul gave me this cold on Christmas Eve. It appeared two days later and turned out he also gave most of the others a cold too! As Scrooge would say Bah Humbug.

Have a great 2018.

Michael, how are you? I was jumping around researching this morning and found this link.

I thought you might be interested. I know I am and will certainly go visit if I ever get to NZ again.

Cheers
Helen

ps here is the museum's link http://steampunkoamaru.co.nz/

Hi Michael and thank you for following. I am of course delighted to follow you in return.
Best wishes here on WA. I am sure you will find everything you need here in the way of help and support.
Please let me know if I can help at any time.
Terry

Hi Michael, I hope everything went well for you yesterday and that you enjoyed your lunch. I did mean to send you a good luck message but was too late by the time I remembered.

Hope it wasn't too hot when you were running.

BTW how have I managed to be above you in the rankings lol?

Hi Michael, I am in Australia too - Adelaide. I have found a few Aussies on this course! I am not working at the moment (have been doing contracts since being made redundant from a 17 year career at the local newspaper) although that is about to change next week. So besides doing this course I've been trying to learn to meditate, but finding it very difficult. I do Yoga, which I love and gym also.

Challenges do make us grow and I'm glad I found WA because the thought of working the rest of my life in the corporate world is very depressing!

I am reading a book at the moment called "The New Psycho-Cybernetics" by Dr. Maxwell Maltz. It is about changing your self-image. He wrote it right back in 1960!! It's amazing, and I hope it will help me in this new endeavor.

Sue

Hello Michael, your list of talents, interests, and experience are very impressive. I have read several of your posts and visited your website/blog and enjoyed all of them. I would like to follow you here in hopes of acquiring as much knowledge as I can in my journey toward success here.

What a shakeup Michael. Welcome to the sub ambassador world. Sorta like falling into the bay isn't it.
I will join you soon. I am shooting for 1,000 visible posts by Aug 10 and will be an ambassador a year Aug 18.
After that I will relinquish my hold and let fortune drop me down at it's rate while I pursue my web sites and other valuable endeavors!

Michael, people like you are a true inspiration to us newbies, a testament to the fact that the system laid out here at WA must truly work. With your numerous Personal Blog Posts, and even writing training, (all of which I hope to get through and enjoy your insights I might add). So suffice it to say that I will definitely be following you. –Dr. Carl

Hello,

Have a blessed day!

Namaste'

G'day Michael!

Thank you for liking a comment of mine! Thought it would be a good idea to come and say G'day. You seem to be a very life-affirming personality. Gonn'a follow you now, fella'!

With your positive attitude, you just have to be successful. I'm looking forward networking with you. I'm sure I'll learn a lot from you.

Wish you exciting challenges!

Hey bro, I am looking forward to you coming. How far off are we now?

Have you seen these last two trainers? So, you think you can Divi! Divi 101 Pt. 1 So. You think you can Divi. Part Twa

Hello Michael, your training has been very helpful to me personally. I am a new member here and I was wondering how I could do this without your support. Thanks so much

But Michael, I want to know how to link a particular video from Wealthy Affiliate to my website.

For example, a video like how to build a website. so that visitors to my site can follow this video link to the Wealthy Affiliate platform. thanks so much.

I will appreciate your reply.
Once again thank you.

Hey i love the bio, I see you love electronics and problem solving there and have a business experience. I love electronics too, I will have my electrical engineering degree in a month or so and also been doing math tutoring. I hope I can offer some value and it is a pleasure to know there is someone who thinks similar to me. How has the growth in the competency of the internet business been? Is there anything that you would have done a bit different at the beginning if you were just starting out again like I am. Sorry to bother just curious. Have a great day!

Hi Michelle,

I am Robin teaching Entrepreneurship in Taylor's University Malaysia.

I am in the midst of writing a research paper for an academic journal publication: The Review of Affiliate marketing startups. Can I insert your thoughts on gaining trust and engagement to make and grow money and type your name (as if I interview you)? If yes, thank you very much in advance. Would you like to me to type you are co-founder of the name of your affiliate marketing website? I will type as Michelle, co-founder of xx website, with website link.

Robin

I found Chris Scott during the live training over the weekend...I asked him for some help and he recommend some people to ask for a recommendation about him...not sure that is necessary after looking at his sites...he seems he may be my answer or one of them...but I am trying to follow all his directions. So what do you think?

I did read a post or two you have written. I looked over your running blog...Is it love or hate?. Good for you...I ran 5 miles most days for 30 years or so...you being Australian...you might appreciate...I did it to stay in shape to play rugby here in the US into my 50's...I so miss it now.. I putter around an old boys game or two a couple of times a year still. If I create an income online...I may consider going back and coaching again.

If you ever want some practical advice about loosing weight...let me know...I owned weight loss centers for many years in my youth...I also found I never lost a pound running until I got out about 5.5 miles and then it melted off...there is an explanation for that...but takes too much space to explain it here....I am a throat cancer survivor so I have spent the last 10 years or so trying to restore my digestion and stay healthy...I may use some of this health and athletic background to create my niche...unfortunately I cant play rugby the rest of my life.

I would appreciate any comments about Chris but also about yourself...I always wished I had made it to Australia for a rugby game or two...we toured every year or so....but I never made it there.

Thank you for any help or advice you might be able to give.

Hello Michael,

Great, I've finally learned how to use Jaaxy and found 10 very good keyword phrases to boost SEO in my website!
With one of this phrases, I've opened a page on my site and put the SAME keyword phrase in the title, description, meta keywords, 1st paragraph and a few more times over the text.
OK. Another one I have used in a post.

My crucial question is: what I suppose to do with the other 8 keyword phrases?
I cannot open other 8 pages/posts about the same subject in the same website!

I really will appreciate any help.
Thank You in advance.

Pleased to meet you Michael. I"m also into guitar but far from being the expert that i want to be. I live in Canada ad am getting tired of the cold. I am new to this internet thing but have always been interrested in it so this is the golden opportunity I have been looking for. What is a steampunk artefact? ahhh so much to learn...
Larry

Hello Michael, I just came across your interesting profile on Wealthy Affiliate and it looks like you have been very busy and making good progress! I am now following you and I look forward to networking with you and reading your blog posts, I wish you every success in what you're doing.

All the best to you Michael, Roy.

Good evening!

Hope you a had a great day!

Just wanted to privately let you know how wonderful it was to meet Marion...what a delight she is in real person...exactly the same as her persona in WA...no airs n graces...and our 'quick' catch-up turned into 2 hours of chatting! It was like we had known each other all of our lives! lol It was amazing and we had so much in common!

I learned heaps from her but perhaps we can have a chat on whatsapp tomorrow...I am beat...the heat has knocked me for a sixer today...house buyers, rude conveyancers, contracts still not signed properly...generally surrounded by not very smart people all day until I met up with Marion!

And 40 degree heat AAARRRGGGHHH...to say the least...

I have seen your name prolifically amongst the 1,121 emails I now have...I need to take your advice and Marion's...there will be much culling tomorrow!

Hope you had a good day...and look forward to speaking with your voice on Friday...

AND AGAIN...thank you so much for what you put out there today...I am blessed to know you & I just know the same thing will happen when we meet...can hardly wait!

From the freckled red-haired git in Adelaide! lol

Hi Michael

Just wanted to let you know I have started my posting challenge, what better day than the first day of the week :)

I hope this is okay for the first post, wanted it to be something helpful, short and sweet.

Please let me know if this is okay.

Thanks so much for encouraging me!

Best regards,
Kamil

Hello, and thank you!

Being new to the community is both a challenge and a blessing. I think the challenge will be to me (and about me and what will work for me) while the blessing is when you get to know new friends and people who can guide you and advise you about what to do next.

I'll surely be bothering you with questions soon enough, for now, I just want to say cheers!

Your posts inspired me to persevere!

Hi Michael, can I ask you a question do you know of a site that I can get music to put on my site without paying for it. You know how they showed us to get royalty free images is there a royalty free music site? Thank you for any help on this. I asked since you are a musician I don't want to steal anyone's music but I don't have money to pay for it.
Thanks again,
Carol

Hi Michael, awesome to meet yet an other artist here at WA! We are quit a big group, maybe we should create a performance group of our own :-D

Beautiful surroundings will for sure help any artist, love any mountains and Australian Blue Mountains are just plain gorgeous!

Greetings,
ArtByHeart

Hi Michael very nice to meet you. You have an interesting bio and interesting mix of interests - ballroom dancing/music, which I love, and electronics and restoration... I guess it shows there are many facets to you. I'm the same. It's good to diversify!! Makes us rich. I see it in my kids as well. It looks like you are techie oriented. I enjoy it, but it's not as intuitive. I think all pharmacists are, because we are forced to fix our own equipment and trouble shoot our software.
I have met so many interesting people here! I'd say good luck, but looks like you're doing pretty good. I'm still struggling with the vertical learning curve. :)

Michael, I think your poem (or song) however you use it, is fantastic. I think WA will be the train you will ride to the top and use it as a springboard to greater ways to show your talents to the world. I'm amazed at your talent and am awaiting your next step!

Hey Michael, I must apologize for not responding to your video of the 2000 Sydney Olympics. I have been a little bit busy of late and it completely slipped my mind.

This is by no means a reflection of what I thought of the video, on the contrary, I was very impressed with your singing and a little less with your Dancing!! :))

What a fantastic memory to have of one of the best Olympics ever held (second only to the LONDON games). A real genuine memory to cherish and something I would personally bring up on any night out with friends, if it had been me.

Thank you for sharing.

Hey, buddy. I just wanted to stop by and say hello. I hope you are doing well.

I am at your service Mike, if you ever need me for anything. I see you are now number 5. There are only a HAND full of people like you.

Take care my friend and don't be a stranger.

Great post about the Countess Simona & the story of, "Tea Pot Racing.

Hi there. You are a very talented guy. A jack of all trades. I think that is a good thing for online marketing. I wish you much success! Enjoyed reading your profile. I'll check out your blogs and websites. BTW, I had to chuckle at "Ballroom Dancing" and "Steampunk". Yes, I would say your interested are varied. If you can marry those two together, then you will have much success.

Michael, I see you are making some good progress through the Affiliate Bootcamp. Just wanted to pop by and see if you need a hand with anything?

I also wanted to mention the success rates of Bootcamp. Absolutely everyone that has taken action on all of the phases of Bootcamp has a business that is generating consistent income online. MANY of these folks are going to be at our super affiliate conference next year.

Hi Michael, Thanks for following me. You're a very active man. Sounds like you really enjoy life to the fullest. You've made it to #4 with WA in such a short time. Very impressive. You must put a lot of time into the business. Well, good for you. I wish you all the best with WA and all your endeavors. Take care.

Hey my names Brandon I will be attending college in less then a month. Im looking forward to continuing to develop my website part time through college and hopefully make some more sites. I am in the preliminary stages of making my site. My websites up and running with content, once I get enough traffic I want to be able to sell gym products off my site through affiliate websites. Right now I am stuck on getting traffic to my site and getting it ranked in google. Is there any advice you can give me specifically on how to build better content directly about my niche and website. Im really trying hard to get with website off and running and know it will take time! this is my website:
gym-essentials.com
Thank you very much,
Brandon

HI ,

Nice to know you !!
I am from Mauritius but currently residing in Canada.
I just told someone that whenever someone talks about Aussie, it makes me think about my island.
Your interests interest a lot, I am into music too, I composed songs in English, French & creole (which is out Mauritian language).

Perry

Hi

Just been looking at your steampunk site
(the url reads in quite a hilarious way - and not even had a single pina colada or any bubbly at all yet)
anyway, what I was going to say was that my hubby made something a few weeks ago that I wondered if it would be o.k to show on your blog. I just couldn't find your email but found mine instead that took me to the blogger page, that confused me, but then I was up until sunrise, again. If I get the permalink url, will you see if it is worthy of being on your blog please. It isn't for sale as he made it for his mate down the pub, they do this comic called Gallowtree and my hubby is the artist for it. The comic is a bit of a spin off from his mates radio station story, Gallowtree.

It lights up and flashes too.

Hi Michael,
Very nice to meet you and thank you for adding me to your network and I am adding you to mine.
I wish you every success in your endeavor's and on your journey here at WA.
If I can be of help just let me know and I will too.

Warmest wishes,

Linda :)

Oh man! I had never heard of steampunk before. I am intrigued. I looked at your site and I find it absolutely amazing. What a unique idea. You are a very interesting person. I too love ballroom dancing but I never had the chance to learn. I watch the competitions and they are beautiful. I wish I could learn now but I have disabilities in my legs. Maybe it's one of those challenges you talked about. Thank you for following and I'm going to have to follow you back. Like fuzzyegg said, you have a great deal to be creative with here.

Rob

Hi Michael,
Thank you for the follow back. I took a few Ballroom Dance Classes a few years ago and I am definitely into Meditations. I have always wanted to visit Australia and maybe go Scuba Diving or Snorkeling over the Barrier Reef. I wish you every success in Life and with your online businesses.
Dale

Hi Michael,

I hope that you are finding Wealthy Affiliate to be everything that you had hoped that it would be. I love your profile and I think that you are going to do great. If there is anything that I can do to help you, just reach out.

Hi, Michael! It's great to meet you and thank you for the follow! I also love yoga (200 hr RYT), dance (ballet, contemporary, musical theater, jazz & tap) and I LOVE ballroom dancing! I wish that I had trained in ballroom dance as a child, but it is still not too late ;-) I also love Steampunk art! Best wishes to you for continued success and I am following you back :-) ~ Diane

Hello Michael. It is my pleasure to meet you. I think this course will do amazing things to your blog. I looked at your list of interests and thought "ooh I hope he does a niche with steampunk" and YES, you have!
Ill be back for a good look soon.
Go well from me. Janelle.
