Course 2 Lesson 10 Progress Update Report From Start Date Dec/14/14
According to Course 2 Lesson 10, as per advice/suggestion/learning curve, thank you Kyle, lol, here is my update report from starting date December 14, 2014
First, here are my goals set as a brand new WA freshman newbie
Wealthy Affiliate Goals - Became member Dec/14/2014 - 1215hs
A/ The next 10 days - Have first site up with affiliate product
B/ The next 30 days - Have 2nd site up with affiliate product, showing on Google search, and made a first sale as a result
C/ The next 6 months - Have 4 sites up with affiliate products, and utilizing 5-6 different different income means on all said sites
D/ The next year - Have mastered website visitation/traffic hurdles and launched my first self-created product, perhaps a second
Noting A/ - The next 10 days, I actually met that deadline twice, plus, begun my 3rd niche site 4 days ahead of scheduled goal (Dec/20/14), when I was leaving for Alberta Canada to spend 7 quality days with my/our daughter. Important to note, that a 3rd niche site was only because it took this 56 year old dog, 3 times, to zero in to my heart and passion, and not the money. Considering I'm an ordained Pastor with a Master's of Religious Studies, my 1st niche choice, although a great leading weight loss product (bong...money first because of debt load perhaps), and 2nd niche almost connecting home around saving marriages, but primarily driven by a product perhaps a tad too risqué,' although dynamic and essential to help save marriages, I still needed more in the way of driving me to write passionately from the heart without cease that would lead me with genuine, people-first love and intention, which in turn brought me to my 3rd and current niche site resting place, yahooooo ... lol ... www.whyshouldibelievejesus.com.
Noting B/ - The next 30 days, which in reality and being fair to myself, taking away 10 lost days (daughter + 3 days with Overnights PT work when returned and Jetleg), January 14/15 (original 30 days) + those lost 10 days = January 24, and from today, still leaves me 17 days to reach this goal; to have a 2nd site up, showing on Google search and a first sale. SO FROM WHAT I HAVE LEARNED I will focus 100% of my time (many hours driven by heart, soul and passion), voiding a 2nd site, and will take my new and final niche for now and what I have learned to date to get ranked on Google with a genuine search (a searchable term used in niche site and post), with patience to accept a sale or not in my first 30 days; if sale, bonus, and if no sale, push on for the big finish...FOR THIS IS TRULY the most secure and certain I have ever been thanks to WA and what I experience here surrounded by world leading affiliate marketers being taught much more than money initiative...amen!
Noting C/ - The next 6 months - now being by June 24/15, I will drop this to maintaining and tweaking my current niche site only, and only because of what I have and continue learning about focus and priorities, and with my current site already having 4 income affiliate opportunity links on said site...with said site still requiring a better skill set in tying together my Google+ and YouTube which all link off of my current niche site domain and gmail account...which is receiving forwards from professional email being kevin@mydomain.com etc., for expert appearance.
Noting D/ - The next year - being December 24/15, because my own self created product, my book, (under same title as my website - again wise direction from Kyle here at WA), is already playing a key role in my whole unorthodox approach for my niche site, I expect to have mastered visitation and traffic hurdles (replying timely to comments and feedback etc), and perhaps adding 1 or 2 additional books, already written and 95% ready for release.
Regarding my financial goal objectives, they were posted as follows shortly after my start on Dec/14/14 which were:
QUESTION #1: How much money would you be happy earning?
QUESTION #2: How much would you be ecstatic earning?
QUESTION #3: And how much TIME are you willing to invest to achieve these goals?
Because I live to give, even with little, while at the same time appreciating and respecting my current financial predicament,
1/ - I'd be happy to be experiencing $2500-$3000 by June 2015, which would position my bride to retire/semi-retire if she so chooses, who is rightfully exhausted of her already 38 year career
2/ - I'd be ecstatic, if by December 01, 2015, to be doubling that earlier figure ($6K total), to enable myself to have a choice to leave my current employer and the needless and pointless power struggles that come with its often arrogantly and selfishly driven leadership; I am grateful for the work I do, however, being in a position to say: "take this job and shove it," respectfully of course, would be nice. :)
3/ - 30-40 hours weekly, minimum, is what I'm willing to trade in exchange for the achievement of my goals, starting today; not to mention, if this becomes as real as it appears, to finally have a vehicle to begin driving forward to pay off a $500+K and growing investor debt, respecting that each and every investor is more than deserving of their promised return, I say, amen, and hallelujah to that!
Noting 1-3 above, which I feel are all still realistic, and I do have 17 days to strive for my first original 30 days objective, I see no reason not to hold fast to them, not to mention, I'm well achieving, more so exceeding, the 30-40 hours a week.
In addition, my 3rd and final niche site has:
- 24 fulfilled comments showing, 2 of which come directly from WA membership, which I am truly grateful for
- 4 affiliate income potential streams
- 6 posts with good balance in spacing for ease of reading as well as graphics to break up the prose (thanks to feedback & the skills of a great teacher, Kyle)
- 4 pages not including HOME, with 2 more on their way (Testimonial - Contact)
So that my friends is my progress report to date...loving the journey, meeting of others who are also determined to find and make change, and for that I give thanks for such a fabulous online experience under such dynamic leadership and new friends from around the world -- the way it should be!
Thank you for listening!
PS...if any WA member would like a FREE COPY of my new book, in eBook format, just because, with no obligation, please let me know, it's yours!

I am so happy for you and the accomplishments that you have achieved. You must be much more computer savvy than I am. I've been a member for 7 months and struggle with nearly every lesson and haven't done half as much as you and haven't made a dime. I'm being patient and trusting The LORD for His help with it. God bless you sir.
