Getting started in any business can really be more frustrating or at times feel like they are slow. One finds himself battling with "Show me the Money" syndrome.

How soon will I be making the money?

How much money?

I saw Wealthy Affiliate while reviewing another business. I was really tired of all the hype and quick money flaunting business. Most reviews were more like a sales pitch and provided biased information especially when the reviewer is the member of the program. However, there were some reviews which really provided so much valuable information. And the link always recommended was Wealthy Affiliate.

So after almost like three weeks I then clicked on the Wealthy Affiliate website to check it out. I was broke and could not afford anymore to spend dollars online for anything that could not deliver. Most of these hype affiliate programs don't have any support and so I was quite skeptical. I fortunately saw that there was no need of a credit card to get started, and this freebie was quite tempting. I did not anyway get started because I have learned that free is not always free. Some programs will tell you to get started you just need $1 and before you can continue you need another $100 for another tool. Three weeks later weeks I decided to give it a try.

The training video were so practical and easy to follow. And within 5 days I have completed my 10 lessons and with a website that had content. I guess one would assume that it should have been easy because I have a degree in electrical engineering. However, I am a BBT (born before Technology) generation. Although I knew how to use Google and search internet, I had no idea how to develop a website except just typing WWW or http://

Wealthy Affiliate training just made it easier to build a website.

I must admit, that while I was learning, I had this anxious feeling of when will I be seeing the money or someone shares a short-cut of making the money. I did not see how writing the blog was going to bring me the money. Worst of all, I could not even identify a niche that I will write.

What if I don't want to write a blog?

Is there no better way to make money online without writing a blog?

After 10 lessons, it was a moment of truth, do I continue to watch on the sidelines or do I upgrade to the premium. There was a time of agitation as well as feeling of sadness. In the 10 lessons I have learned:

1) How to set-up a website

2) How to identify a niche

3) How to write content

4) How to manage the website, editing and posting

5) How to make use of plugging

6) How to write a Google ranking posts and blogs

7) How to interact with content

and more tools available on the internet to ensure success.

These 10 lessons were so valuable and stimulated my love for the affiliate marketing.

Belief is everything when you get started.

However, discipline will keep you moving and on course.

Do I quit and keep on looking for something because I did not see much of how the money is made with Wealthy Affiliate or do I try the premium?

Belief in the company and trusting the system is important.

In the meantime, I found myself looking for other shiny quick results promising opportunities. It is so obvious that at times one is looking for a quick easy button. And now that I gained some exposure into blogging, site building and hosting, temptations increased into finding something which that promises quicker results.

I spend a week thinking about whether do I upgrade or look for another affiliate marketing program. However, every time I saw the community that was following my posts and people who were making money, these were some aspects that deprived my sleep.

I realized I have found my home and now I can build my passion.

I can now write about my travel experiences.

The journey goes on.

Thanks for sharing.

Hey MM, Go with your hunch. By now you know it works. Don't let your mind take you to the past. Focus ahead and splurge a little. The first month is discounted to $19.95. The money will take time, as does anything that gets results. The education is what you got to have and you won't find a better deal then this. Hey, the fast quick money deals will come out of the wood work as soon as you get your site all fine tuned. that takes time. Keep the faith. You have all the support you need to succeed. Ned Babb
