Hiya, William. Thanks for adding me to your network. I'm adding you to mine as well.

We have a local shop here named Bali. The owner makes periodic trips there to buy items, then ships them here to resell. She seems to be doing quite well. Love her shop. Some of the furniture she ships home is gorgeous! Also very expensive. lol

Best wishes moivng forward with your online business. Sounds like you are already well on your way!

Hi, William,

Nice to meet you and after reading your profile you reminded me to shed some kgs and get out and do some exercise.

Thank you for following me and I wish you and your family the best in all aspects of life.

Cheers and I will see you on the treadmill of WA!

Hi, thanks for the follow! I can also remember being online before web browsers, when everything was text based. Things have changed rapidly. My husband has students who are quite convinced that there was no internet before they were born; no computers. The conversations can be pretty funny!

And may I ask.. are you wearing a blackhat for any reason in particular?

Hi, William.

Sounds like you keep pretty busy. I work at a law firm as a word processor on the 1 pm to 9:30 pm shift. I like it because I can work at WA before and after work. I've worked on computers early in my career in the Air Force around 1975. They didn't have monitors back then, just printouts. I was responsible for keeping the AGE (Air to Ground Equipment) in stock. This was at George AFB where they trained fighter pilots in Phantom F4's. I was only 21 at the time. We worked in a darkened room with back-lit glass that we wrote on with grease pencils. I had a top-secret clearance.

Those were the days, my friend.

Now I've been with WA for a month and a half and I've got five websites up and running in various stages of completion. I'm currently concentrating on the Black Friday event on my one website where I promote WA. I'm really excited about being able to pick up another year for 82 cents a day. That's a $205 savings. And to lock in that price for my third year. Very exciting.

Thank you for following me. I'll follow you back. We can learn from each other. I'll be asking you about social media at a different time, as I have little experience with that.

Debra.

Hi WilliamBH! Thanks for the follow!

I believe Wealthy Affiliate has the best training modules on the planet; and, give you a solid foundation to achieve success! I am now into my fourth week at WA; and, on day 7 I ranked #1 and page 1 on Google.

You have accomplished quite a bit in the business world.
Your niches are great for information, tips, and monetizing.

All the best in not only meeting but exceeding your goals!

Hello William. Thank you for the follow. Nice to meet you here. I had been out and away from computers since ..... . Can you imagine and now I am here, all day long on computers..... .! Fitness thoughts quite far for the moment, but just for the moment.
Have a nice evening
N with a smile

Welcome to the WA Community and thank you for following me! I’m following you back!

All the best,

Hi William, thanks for following me! In Dutch we are not used to using "hi" as we do not know each other, but in the USA it is just normal. I hope your stay/working on WA will give you all and a bit more you are looking for. And, be a customer of your fitness centers as long as you possibly can!
Greetings from the Netherlands!!

Hi William, thanks for the follow. I'm and very new here and looking forward to learning a new skill and earning some extra money. I too was around when computers first came on the scene, I started my first job in 1980. I know my way around a computer but have not done anything like this before

William, Thanks for the follow. I too have work on computers since the early days. I was a technician. We repaired down to the chip or component level. Lot has changed over the years. I still have A Osborne computer that I bought for my parents. It runs on CPM for an operating system. System looks like new. My prents were afraid to use it.

Hi William
Saw a post you made under another follower:
This is what was in conversation that interests me and hope you can expound upon: You stated "Emails are an issue, I pre-define what I will and will not read so I can move through them quickly and not be bogged down."
How do you predefine? I do not really want to read everyone's comment that are posted on training threads - just because I posted there in accordance with the training or other. I did shut off comments in the message section but everything disappeared including new follows & responses to my inquiries. How do I just shut off board comments IE: "the how much would you be happy earning" since I posted on that board I am receiving notification everytime someone posts since my post. This is just too much. Still want to receive responses to my questions and posts to ones I am following, but not every board ever after. Can you advise?
Thanks in advance.

Hello. My name is Patrick Bloom, and I am 5 days into my WA journey. I spend last night reading ALL the profile pages of those who have followed me and have selectively chosen those who I felt had great experience and success with WA. That's why I'm reaching out to you. I completed course one and have a website up. I will join as a premium member within a day or two, but I wanted to reach out and ask your honest opinion about my "About Me" section of my website and my niche. Would you kindly visit my brand new site and respond? I'd value your input. Thank you.

Hi Mr William, I opt myself out and my blog stop at 56. :)

It is difficult really as my try to deliver something different backfired greatly. I respect everybody that just looking into the title (the first impression) not the content that full of explanation and elaboration (don't judge a book by its cover).

I feel disappointed when people just by "the first impression" start labeled me a scheduled speaker that only put something that shouldn't be on the table and my post stop at 56.

They thought I am someone happily sharing everything about me or my past experience anywhere and anytime. If not because for the sake of WA Community overall development and can find something to learn from other people past experience, it is a total mistake. I pulled out myself in apology even not suppose for me to do it as I did nothing wrong.

I am just back to my sole aspiration to be learning and develop myself only here.

:)

Hi!!
Glad to find likeminded peoples there!
As I see , you have made good progress on WA, I congratulate you and also for being on top 10.
I have joined in jan 2017 and love everything about WA.
Please keep in touch , we could learn new things together,
Have a successful and great year!!
Regards,
Amit

This is my appreciation message to all community members that willing to spare your ample time just to following me together networking under WA.

I wish all the best in your 2017 journey and beyond!

Keep it up and Welcome aboard! :)

*P/S: Glad to being able to send out my message to every following friend Dashboard Page on my networking. I take this opportunity to briefly know each and everyone. Hopefully I can remember all :)

Hello William, I to have been around computers, ever since they became available to the public. Fantastic times no pics, no color, or anything else for that matter. Just a blank screen waiting for you to do something! LOL.
Hey, thanks for adding me your network of friends, looking forward to following you here at The best place around!
To our continued success!
Kim

Hi William,
Hope you don't mind me messaging you like this.I was hoping to get some guidance on Facebook if that's ok (you seem to know it inside out!)
How exactly do you get followers on Facebook?
Do I need to join a list of groups in my niche?
If so, how many groups should one join?
If one group has over 1000 members, is that enough?
Or should I be trying to join over 100 groups?
Do I need to follow hundreds to get a few to follow you back?

As you can see I am a bit clueless with Facebook...
Any direction you can give me in getting more followers would be greatly appreciated!
Regards
Paul

Thanks for the follow William!

OK, without dating yourself... :-) I'm guessing you recall communicating via texex? My spell-checker is too young to recognize texex as a valid word! Boy, those were the days...

I recall my excitement upon receiving my 1st IBM PC. A blazing 4.77 mhz, green-screen, 10 Megabyte (Not GB!) hard drive. It was state of the art!

I hesitate to admit the allure of color was too enticing to pass up the PC Jr. :-)

We've experienced minor advances in technology since then...

All the best,
John

Hi William thanks for the follow, I remember the days getting excited when I got a USRobotics 56.6k (V92) modem and moved up in the world from 28.8k/33.3k (V34) modem, and of course, no telephone calls whilst online and no such things as mobiles for regular folks...

Blimey...how things change...

Best wishes

Neil

Thanks for the follow William, I'm returning the favor. Pleased to make your acquaintance. I Pray that you had a Great Holiday, I also Pray that Our LORD And Savior Continue To Shower His Abundant Blessing UpOn You.

To God Give The Glory;
Praise His Holy Name;
Your Brother In Christ;
William

There is a famous quote from Mark Twain:

"If it's your job to eat a frog, it's best to do it first thing in the morning. And if it's your job to eat two frogs, it's best to eat the biggest one first."

And that just means - do your hardest task first or at least as soon as you can in the morning. If you do this then the rest of your day is easy from there!

ANYWAY…

Hello, thanks for the follow and welcome to WA. You are definitely in the right place!

People have plenty to share and there is plenty to learn also so take your time and enjoy the experience.

I may not be in the top 200 list anymore (because I don’t socialize here much) but I do have many interesting posts on my site and some you might really like, many people do. I have over 3,000 positive comments, so take a look and get some ideas as to what you can do with your site.

Let me know if I can help you in any way

Cheers Peter :)

Hello William, I have just been reading your profile, it is great to see you here at Wealthy Affiliate! It's interesting that you have been using computers for such a long time, I'm sure that with your business experience and computer experience you will do very well here at Wealthy Affiliate! I am now following you and I look forward to connecting with you.

All the best to you William, Roy.

William, nice to hear from you. I look forward to getting to know you my new WA friend.

Yes I can imagine text based! When I learned programming it was Fortran and Pascal. (Oh and frustration.)

Work hard, have some fun and (you might not need to) don’t forget to ask questions.

A very nice boss once told me, ‘Helen, when you ask a silly question everyone else breathes a collective sigh of relief because they don’t have to!’ And that is so true. No question is silly so ask away.

If I can’t help I might be able to point you in the right direction.

Now let us keep in touch.

Hi William, thanks for following me - it's nice to meet you here at WA!

I wish you to become an AWESOME online marketer (if you aren't already :) ) and live a life of your dreams!

My greatest passion is video games and I strongly believe that games can influence our lives in a very positive and beneficial way. I'm always ready and willing to discuss the topic, so feel free to contact me anytime, if you're even slightly interested.

Also, if you ever need anything, have questions to ask, thoughts to share or just want to chat – just send me a message and I will try to help as best I can.

Cheers, good luck and see you around!

Hi William, Thanks for the follow as I will be following you also. One thing we have in common is Fitness...I also owned and operated a Racquet & Fitness Club for 28 years...& retired (burnout). One thing we don't have in common is Computer usage. I started with WA in Jan and am amazed at the information provided for me. Slowly learning through this wonderful community. Hope you and your Wife have much success on your journey here...
Warm Regards,
Kathy (Westwaters)

Dear William, welcome to our WA community, you're on the right place to start an online business! Thanks for sharing and for adding me to your WA network, much appreciated. Seems you're doing very well, so keep on track and let's stay in touch.

Desmond We are here to help!

Hello William ... thank you for the follow. I don't remember the internet way back then, but I do remember my first functional computer. It was a TRS 80 (from Radio Shack) that was driven by cassette tapes. I used it for quick (at the counter) cost estimating in small quick print business I started (and ran for a very short while).

Ended up back in high tech manufacturing where the computer I used was a Compaq portable with a 7" screen. We actually called them "lugables". They closed up like a small suit case, but weigh a ton.

Sounds like you've had a much more practical exposure to computers and the internet. I wish you the best on your WA journey.

Thanks for following me William, I am following you back. Welcome to the WA family and I am glad to be part of your network. I am sure you will find everything you need here to be successful. If you need any help just ask. Good luck with your success! David

Hi William,
thank you for following me. it is nice to meet you.
You have a great advantage with this program....You already have lots of knowledge in computers and what takes place behind.
in some way, this is a new ball game for me but I am going to make it..i will be asking for help..

Thank you again, will talk.
Lisa

Thanks for the Follow, William. Man, from your short little 5 line profile, I see so many possible niches with rabid buyers, which is the ideal place to be...Techie stuff, business and entrepreneurial, health and fitness. You already have expert knowledge, experience and contacts. So...

Go forth and conquer! Have fun while you do,

Gordon

Hi William,
Sorry for not getting back to you earlier ,
my work is stopping me from spending more time to get going.
Still not picked a niche yet it is driving me demented at the moment. My passion is Horses and i am afraid i will make a balls of it excuse the pund. Any ideas.

Regards.

Gerard.

Hi there William,
Welcome to WA. Happy to have you on board.

As a premium member and just starting out.

I would suggest that you take your time and have a good look around the site, before knuckling down to the training.

Following the training step by step, there is no way that you cannot be successful.

As you progress through the training, don't be afraid to ask questions should you get stuck on a point, or don't understand something. Because help is available 24/7.

Finally above all else; Keep tucked away in the back of your mind, this is a journey and not a race, so time isn't an issue.
Regards
Tom

Hi William or do you go by bill? Glad you joined us here at WA University. Thanks for the follow. I can relate to the reference in your profile about how long you've been dealing with computers. I started back when you had to write your own programs even to have an address book. Used the old DOS command promt as I recall. I shutter to think how much we've progressed since then.

Good luck and best wishes for your success and I will be following you also.

Thank you so much for following me.

I wish you all the best.

Hello William and welcome to wealthy affiliate.
You will probably know by now or find out soon enough that internet marketing can be a steep learning curve. Therefore can I suggest you browse some of the 250+ blogs I have published within WA.
I'm sure you will go away with lots of tips and advice.
Thank you for the follow as well and I will follow you.
Remember, you get stuck creating a site or anything else, you ask ok.
Enjoy your day.
Robert

Hello William, ♫Welcome! Nice to meet you ツ I wish you a lot of learning pleasure and fun on WA. Thank you for following me.

From the start, I have written training for every issue I had problems with myself. I also made a list of 1001 niche ideas, a checklist with 25 points to go through before you publish a post, 101 blogging ideas when you get stuck and an A-Z WA dictionary. I just love lists:) It has been very helpful to a lot of people. You can find them on my profile on the right, the first website link (click on my picture). I hope to help you with those.

If you have any questions, please add a comment to this message or leave them on my profile.
Success building your business in 2016. See you around, Greetings Loes

Hi William!
Thank you very much for following me and welcome to the WA community! Be sure to follow all the training that is available on this site and don't be afraid to ask questions. The people in the WA community, myself included, are happy to help you. Best of luck to you in your endeavors.

Shawn - Yearly Premium Member

P.S. If you get a chance check out how the training helped me to build my websites. My latest one on how to boost your retirement income just went live a month ago and the one on sleep apnea has been up for almost four months now. You can find the links on my profile page. Any feedback or comments would be greatly appreciated.

I'm glad you made it!

It's Alexia from Wealthy Affiliate

Welcome to Wealthy Affiliate Premium! From now on you have great access to all the benefits that comes with Wealthy Affiliate, and I am very happy for you, that you made it so far. Guess what you aren't finish yet and have a lot more to do. So get started!

I just want to say congratulations, and enjoy the journey/ride to success and a successful life/future.

Thank you

Alexia

William, 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.

I want this to be you and I want you to succeed with your promotions. So, please promise me that if you ever need a hand or feel stuck as you move forward, that you will get in touch with me!

Trust me, I know things can be a little overwhelming sometimes and I don't want you feeling like that.

Anyways, just checking in. Get back at me if you need anything William.

Hey William! Just wanted to follow up and see how you're doing so far. Hope you've been enjoying the training offered here and the community as well.

You must be wondering if you can really make money after going through the courses here in WA. Truthfully, it can be done because I have experimented it and I know it works.

Just wanted to let you know that if you have upgraded to the premium membership, it covers the full spectrum of training, there will not be any further products that you "need" to purchase within the members area. This is unlike any programs out there.

Personally, I feel that the WA course is the best stepping stone for any one who wants to start an online business. You will be a seasoned affiliate marketer after going through the entire WA course.

See what the premium membership offers:

https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/order/signup/a_aid/04fd793b

Let me know if you have any questions or need a hand with anything! I will be more than happy to help you out to build a successful future for you.

Cheers!
~Jack (BareNakedScam)

I hope things are going well. I know you are getting rolling within the training and there is ONE thing that always tends to confuse people and that is "what is my niche?".

I know, same thing happened to me when I started.

I just wanted to reach out and let you know that I am here if you ever want to run any niche "ideas" by me or you have any questions about finding your niche.

Get back to me when you get the chance! :)
