Just wanted to let you all know, wealthy affiliate will be increasing their membership fee for the first time in a couple of years.  The price will go up on May 6th. I am not sure what the price will be yet, but if you want to lock in at the current price of $29/month then now is the time.

I always thought it was under-priced, considering all you have access to.  I’ve seen membership sites that don’t have near as much information, tools, and value, charge way more.  As I said, I do not know what the price will be, but it will be higher.

If you have been thinking about it, now is the time to join.

let’s look back at my fourth week as a Wealthy Affiliate.  The education laid out for this week is pretty good, not as many topics, but, great topics none the less.  The topics covered in this weeks lessons are:

How a website will benefit you as an Internet marketer
Setting-up your FREE WA Hosting & choosing domains
Using Site Rubix
How to build a website
Different types of webpages
How to create landing pages that convert
Using the feeder sites here at WA

This week deals with setting up your web presence, no matter how you plan to do it, if you have your own product or you are just promoting others, how you setup your web presence will equate to how well your bank account starts to fill up.

It’s not enough just to through a website online and expect to make money, unfortunately, it doesn’t work like that, and if it did, everybody would be doing it.  Some good nuggets in this one here I must say, most of it I had already discovered by moving ahead, I setup my hosting and websites the first week, so this stuff wasn’t new to me.  But I do plan to go back over the lesson on squeeze pages.  I’m in week 6 now, so this week 4 stuff seems like such a long time ago, but I plan to go back through the entire 8 week plan, picking out the topics I want to learn more about.

No need to say it, you know what to do, hit the top or the pic on the left if you want to join me and the hundreds of other successful marketers over at Wealthy Affiliate.

see ya later

As a newbie marketer, it’s very easy to get into the habit of constantly looking for new information because hey, we “want to learn all we can to be successful”. Well, it has been my experience, and many others, that this simply is not the way to go.

Because I see this a lot, and, have been guilty of it myself, I want to put together a list for you to help keep you focused an on track.

• Information is good, but moving from info to info to info to info will do you no good, you must put what you learn into practice, it’s the only way to see progress
• don’t try to become an expert on all things, learn piece by piece and add to your toolbox
• setup a schedule, the Internet can be very distracting, know your goals and stick with them
• oh yeah, SETUP SOME GOALS and DEADLINES!! It’s much easier when you are working towards something
• Treat this as a job! That’s what it is, if you want to be successful you have to change you mindset, this is not just some random stuff you are doing online, it’s a business venture you are growing into a successful empire
• YOU ARE NOT HIM/HER, so don’t gauge your progress off of others, you have to know what success means to you, and work towards it. Yeah, so this guy is making $500 a day after 2 weeks, SO WHAT!!! All that means is that you know this stuff can work if you work it, you don’t know his situation or work ethic, all you know is they are making money, just buckle down and get your share.
• Stop being scared! Quit complaining about how much you don’t know and just use what you do. So what if your first website sucks! So what if you don’t know how to write an article. IM is just like anything else you want to be good at, it takes PRACTICE. That means keep doing it.

Well, I think that is enough to give you a good kick in the tush and motivate you to move forward. I know, I will be taking some of my own advice. Oh yeah, Kyle and Carson have a ‘TASKS’ application within Wealthy Affiliate that lets you track your goals and tasks…organization is key. Join me if you will, if you are already enrolled, meet me on WA Spaces so we can talk and keep each other motivated.
