Hello Everyone,
- my name is Amanda, the founder of chichaunt.com and the author for Amanda’s Blogs.
When I was younger I have had many paranormal experiences and I love beauty products. I am very interested in the paranormal and my goal is to become a blogger, a ghost hunter, and a beauty product reviewer. What inspired me to be a blogger and website developer was one day, when i was looking up jobs for creating a website which brought me to Wealthy Affiliate. I absolutely love my job and hope to encourage people and help people.
The challenges that I face sometimes are not being consistent with my Blogs, creating my website, and having writers block. My milestones that I have e achieved were following through training from Wealthy Affiliate and achieving my goals that I have set. I don’t have many skills with creating a blog and my website, but I learn real fast.
My notable accomplishments are finishing some of high school.
