1. Start with a Clear Goal in Mind
Before diving into lessons, ask yourself: Why am I here, and what do I want to build?
- Are you trying to earn side income in retirement?
- Do you want to build a blog around your hobbies?
- Are you looking to create a full-time income?
✅ Action Step: Write down your “why” and keep it visible near your workspace.
2. Follow the Core Training—Don’t Skip Around
Start with the Online Entrepreneur Certification and complete each lesson. Don’t jump ahead. Complete tasks and take notes to build a strong foundation.
✅ Action Step: Commit to a pace (e.g., 1 lesson/day) and follow through.
3. Take Notes and Create a Personal Knowledge Base
Use a notebook or digital tool (like Google Docs or Notion) to track what you learn, questions, and ideas. Your future self will thank you.
4. Apply as You Learn
Don’t just consume—implement! Complete the lesson tasks and build your website as you go.
5. Engage with the Community—But Wisely
Tap into the support from other members, but don’t let it distract you from creating content or completing lessons.
✅ Tip: Limit community time to 15–20 minutes per session.
6. Use SiteComments and SiteFeedback Tools
Use these to get feedback and build social proof on your blog. Engage with others to earn credits too!
7. Keep Your Niche Focused
Refine your audience. Specificity helps you create content that connects and converts.
8. Use the Jaaxy Keyword Tool Strategically
Search for long-tail keywords with low competition. Understand search intent and use them naturally.
9. Publish Content Consistently

Aim for 1–2 posts per week. Focus on being helpful and include strong CTAs.
10. Track Your Progress and Celebrate Milestones
Track small wins and set realistic goals. Use WA’s internal goal tracker or your own system.
11. Attend the Live Weekly Webinars
These are deep dives into current strategies and tools—perfect for staying updated and learning advanced tactics.

Don’t hesitate to use the community, forums, or private messages for support when you’re stuck.
14. Avoid Burnout
Set a sustainable pace. Take breaks. You’re building something real—give it time and care.
