Well put, Vicki. The most common thing we are seeing is members asking questions about things that are way ahead of their training level. For instance, asking about adding affiliate links when they are only part way through Level 1 training.
Colette and Philip
Yes, that is why I posted this to encourage all newbies to do the training step by step and not jump forward but instead to learn the entire process
Thank you for your input and I hope all is great with you both

Thank you very much. I have been with WA for close to two month's. I just was and still am messing up. Going back to the basics and doing a mind refresh for me is going to be useful. I feel I am going nowhere very fast. It's time to get back to the basics.
Hi Michael- you for you. Go back as many times as it takes until it becomes clear for you and if you ever need help just ask as we are here to help you
