Hey there! Thank you so much for your response! You just gave me a whole new perspective about drawing people to my page...thank you! Thanks for the gold too! I am taking my sweet time on here. All of the sudden I am swamped at my regular job! No money yet, but TONS of new knowledge.

Hey, what can I say - you gave me gold. Extrodinarily kind of you. Thank you.
First month on WA? It's been great. I really appreciate the help that people give. The first two weeks were the hardest - ultra confusing, but some of the fog has lifted now. How about yourself? You joined at almost the same time as me, and yet you have had 750 plus visitors to your page! If you can draw the same to a web page you'll be drowning in cash!
Please allow me to send some gold back to you - you deserve it for your touching generosity.
Clive

Hi,
Just thought I'd drop by and say hello and ask how things are going with the IM. Hope all is well.
Best wishes
Clive

Hello Michael,
Nice photo. I'm a newbie too. I joined a month ago, but if you work hard you'll be amazed at what you can learn in a month. If you have any problems, the Forum is a great place for all kinds of help, and the people in WA are very, very helpful. If there is anything I can help you with in the meantime - drop me a line. Hope you enjoy yourself here, and good luck.
Clive

Hey michaelrocks,
How are you doing? Are things going ok for you here in WA.
Best wishes
Clive

thanks for your message. Yes, i've just got the info on bum marketing. Looks good and sounds simple (!) but so far it's just given me more questions! Still, that's bound to happen with anything new. Have you got it yet, if not I can give you the link. Talking of which, although I'm now able to successfully post, I'd still like to know how you got that link on your first post. The http ones. How do I do that? I'm also nearer to finding out about stickies. In the help section there's a bit on forum help which shows what they look like. Only problem is, there is nothing like this on the forum. I posted a question and am told they now look like lightbulbs! But can't see any of those either! Am waiting to be enlightened on this! It's very frustrating having so many questions but how else do you learn!!
PS What do you play? I used to play the piano but don't have one at the moment and do miss it.

Brilliant! Only just saw your earlier message. Am so happy to know where the missing link is!!! Feel so much better now!! Thank you.

Yes, sadly I am still on here! Lots of free time at moment so am making the most of cramming as much info into my brain as I can! I already e'mailed Travis as the video wouldn't load and the link to his article wasn't there. Did you have any success with these? If you get any help, do let me know!
I played the piano mostly around the ages of 14 - 21. Was lucky enough to live with music students at uni and our house had a grand piano! So was very spoilt! Not played for quite a few years now.
And I'm in Norwich!

Hi there
Thought I'd just drop by to see how you're doing! You must be into week 2 by now? Not sure I want to see it right at this moment as have been having a hard day trying to make sense of this stuff and not succeeding. This awful rain and grey skies and cold sure doesn't help. Expect it's been wet over your side of the country too.

Hi there
You got week 2 yet? Just been reading through it and !?!?!?!?! Lots of good stuff but where do you start? How in the world am I going to understand all that lot and write an article and start working on my website in one week with only a couple of hours each evening?!!? I'm off for a glass of wine - or 2!
Let me know how you get on.

can't help on the keywords thing I'm afraid. And I'm so glad that there's at least one other person on here apart from me that hasn't got everything together yet! When you read of these people who are making money in week one or two and who actually understand everything (!!!!) it makes you feel quite inadequate. I agree with you about losing money. One thing I'm learning is to ignore all the e'mails that arrive in my inbox with all these wonderful offers. I'm just going to plod along at my own pace and do what I can. Feel like I should be in a little beginners class of my own where I can keep putting my hand up and saying "please miss?..." one small step each day...

Hi there
You still surviving in here? Have you got week 3 yet? It's appeared on my board but I haven't looked at it yet as I haven't had time to do everything from week 2 yet so didn't want to depress myself!!! Have you created a website or anything? I've started with Site Rubix but feel like renaming it "website creation made extremely difficult and frustrating.....!!!!! so as you can guess I haven't exactly got far!

Hi there, just wondering how you're doing? how's the article writing going?
I'm still working on the website. Been a lot of hard work and frustration. Seem to be progressing by inches and it's two steps forward and one back sort of thing. Where do you find the products and merchants for your articles then?
Have you done week three yet? I haven't even looked at it. Until I've finished the website it's just too much information overload!! have just realised you posted a reply to me here on your own space - so only just read it now!!!!!!! will send you some gold to help!

hey, well done you!! got an article accepted and got some gold! So we can definitely say we've made money doing IM. May only be 10p or something but we all have to start somewhere!!!! Who did you get your article accepted with? And let me know when you've finished your lens so I can congratulate you some more. I'm nearly there with the website. Just having a few problems with fpt. Put out (yet another!) call for assistance so am hoping someone will be able to help. Then I need to start my first article! By the time I'm 100 I might actually have an entire campaign!!!!

thanks for dropping by. The website is dying/dead/very poorly!!! Long story. Did finally get it up and running but unfortunately due to a lot of problems with SR it's not appearing as it should! So am having to abandon and resort to plan B!!! So week 5 is not even going to be viewed at this stage!!!

umm! just wish i could learn the easy way for a change! Have had a look at the animal sanctuary. Looks very interesting! They certainly seem to have quite a few very challenging dogs on there!!! I can't have dogs at the moment but look forward to the day I can and will doubtless be along to my nearest rescue centre.
how's the articles going? how many have you written now and where are you writing them? are they working for you?

Oh yes! The website has arisen from the dead! I have managed to fix the problems I was having and it is now up and running. it's not brilliant by any means but as it's my first attempt that's ok! I'm just really proud of myself for having achieved this (and amazed!!). All (ha ha!!) I have to do now is work at getting some traffic to it so I can maybe actually make a bit of money!!! go take a look and see what you think (polite comments only please!!) http://www.myhealthyorganics.com

Hey there!
Just dropped by to see how you're doing. Got any more articles written or are you hard at work creating a landing page? Hope things are going well for you. The sun is shining over this way today. Hope it's visiting you too!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!! woohoooooooooooooooooo
Brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!1 Well done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! First of many.
Good on you!!!!!!

Hello Chocolate,
I just posted another reply to you in the forum. I wasn't sure what you were looking for but If it's the link to your WA Space then it will be in the top of your browser - it will look something like this https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com etc.
Norwich is a nice place to live. Good luck, and see you soon.
Clive

Hello Chocolate
How's things going? I came across some Bum Marketing programme - did you see it?
Clive

Hi Chocolate,
Glad you find my posts useful, and thanks for the offer of the link to Bum Marketing (That's a bad marketing name!). I have found the link and have been studying it since yesterday, and yes, it does beg more questions - where will we find the answers? I might send a post to Travis (the author) and ask him.
I play the drums and guitar, and really I wish I would have studied piano because it's such a lovely instrument. How long have you been playing? And by the way, what part of the world do you live?
Best wishes
Clive

Hi Chocolate,
Where have you been? I've been working my way through the Learning Centre and getting just as confused as you! Still, confusion precedes understanding so let's not worry about that. I'm still on Week 1 as I think we joined at virtually the same time. And yes, it's been pouring down here too.
Hope you're well. Keep up the study - we'll get there.
Clive

Hey Chocolate,
Week 2 will be available later today. I could wait another week and still not be ready for it! I still don't understand the bidding process on keywords. Why bid high? How is that an advantage? One thing for sure, I'm not even thinking about starting a campaign until I'm through week 8. One thing is very clear, it is easy to lose money if you don't know what you're doing. I've learned that much!
Clive

Hey Chocolate,
Your text made me laugh. I know how you feel, but I'm consoling myself (perhaps stupidly) with the fable of the Hare and the Tortoise. In saying that I'll probably panic some time soon and set up a complete PPC campaign! Don't be too hard on yourself. I'm sure there are people that join WA who have a decent prior knowledge of IM and consequently set up biz after 1 or 2 weeks. Or maybe I'm just comforting myself again. Maybe I am really, really thick. LOL
Clive

Hey Chocolate,
Good to hear from you. I'm probably in the same place you are with information overload. It's almost beyond belief.
I Got my first article accepted today! I've got two more that I'm waiting for approval. I also started a lens on Squidoo, which I'm still working on. I went to Clickbank for the product .
I haven't done week three, I'm not even sure what's in there! There is just too much to do. I got some useful help from the forum this week, and there are many people who very kindly offer help.
Glad to see you're still working on the website - good for you, and keep it up.
How dumb of me to reply to you from my own space.
You're the first person to give me some gold, that's so kind of you. As a consequence I'm sending some back.
Hope you're well
Clive

Hey Chocolate,
Week 5 available! NO! I've given up now of trying to keep track - there's too much other stuff to do. How are things going with the website?
Clive

Chocolate, you always make me laugh - I bet you're a good writer on qt. Don't worry about the website dying, you've learned plenty in the process and next time you'll be armed with more knowledge to get it right.
Incidentally, I've just read your Profile, and noticed you did some work with rescue animals. My partner and I have some close ties to Freshfield Animal Sanctuary, which has a policy of never killing any animal that is brought to them. It's an amazing place, with amazing people working there.
Clive

Hi Chocolate,
Yes the animal sanctuary is full of challenges!
I'm working so hard at the moment that it's almost impossible to keep track of what I'm doing. I think I've made four Squidoo's, because I keep learning new information and so scrap the previous ones - it sure is good practice. Likewise with the articles. This morning I've written three. I'm concentrating less on the quality and more on issue of creating volume backlinks to the landing page. Everything at moment is one big experiment!
Clive

Way to go, Chocolate! That site is absolutely fantastic. I think it looks great, and it functions perfectly. I'm really, really, pleased for you. Hope the traffic comes in droves. Keep up the good work.

Clive

And your Squidoo is great too. TOC and everything!

Clive

Hi Clive...that would be washington state USA...thanks for asking

Hi Clive,
Good to hear from you. Your profile says you play music could it be a guitar? my passion. One of them anyway.
Boy Chocolate chip is excited for you what did you do to earn all the accolades?
Keep in touch,
Sandi

Hey I am not familiar with open tuning and am curious is it anything like slack key? I love slack key and got to hear a concert in it by a real pro in Maui a couple years ago.
I will say a little prayer for our friend Choc C. to make a sale she is so devoted to the tasks at hand.
Later,
Sandi

Well, Sandi, that clears that one up; for a moment I thought you meant the North West of England. Have a great day, and I hope to keep in touch.
Clive

Hello Sandi,
I've not heard from you for a while, I think you may have been the first person to welcome me to WA, and I just thought I'd say hello and ask how you're getting along.
Best wishes
Clive

Hi Sandy,
It's good to hear from you too. You're nearly right about me playing the guitar! My first instrument is drums, but I love to play the guitar too - particularly in an open tuning - I'm a big fan of Joni Mitchell who seems to play exclusively in open tunings.
Yeah, Chocolate and I have been helping each other out and the other day I made my first sale - I can't tell you how much I want that girl to get a sale soon! I'll be doing some whooping and a-hollering myself then.
Hope you're well, Sandy, and yes, let's keep in touch.
Clive

Hello Wyanie,

Yes I did make my first sale, but it was largely down to luck I think.

NLP is quite a broad subject and covers many areas. There is very good book by Joseph O'Connor and John Seymour called 'Introducing NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming). I've read it, and it's a first-class introduction into many of the basic principles of NLP.

Thanks for getting in touch, and please keep in touch.

Clive
