Hello Wealthy Affiliates,
I hope you guys are doing great things within your online businesses. I also hope that your bank accounts are overflowing every month from your affiliate programs, Shopify Stores, Drop Ship Stores, niches, etc., and that your email lists are growing daily.
While I was surfing the internet for some “Affiliate Programs,” I came across a review by a person who’s name is Nathaniell. And yes, he is here within the very walls of Wealthy Affiliate.
So, I was looking for a review on JVZoo Affiliate Programs and such. Actually, it started with Bitcoin and went from there.
Anyway, back to Nathaniell’s story. Nathaniell has been with Wealthy Affiliate since 2010 and is making a lot of money per month. (Which I did not think anyone made any kind of money with Wealthy Affiliate.) (Other than dribbles, drabs, here and there.) Boy, was I wrong! You can check out his name by doing a search. Google his JVZoo review and you’ll know what I’m talking about.
Anyway, between surfing and reading Nathaniell’s achievements and receiving my one year anniversary badge. I was asked if I wanted to share with the community and I declined.
So, why am I writing a post to you telling you about my one year anniversary? Because I’m proud of it, lol. I am still here and I’m not giving up.
Moving forward

Yesterday, I met a wonderful youtuber and we talked mostly about blogging, online businesses, Bitcoin, so on and so forth. We also talked about why I felt stuck and why I’m still in the same place as I was a year ago from today. Funny how I would get my one year badge today, lol. And yes, I do have content on my website. I just think it could be better. See, there it is again. That thought. Those thoughts. These thoughts:
“I’ll never be as good. I have to take a copywriters course to be as good as other’s. 2000 words. How is that going to happen? I have to take a blogging course. Oh my! How is this going to work? It’s not good enough. Yaddah, yaddah, yaddah, and, blah, blah, blah. I want my website to be perfect and I don’t want to fail! (I really don’t.) (I find I’m always comparing myself to other people’s blogs and websites.)
So instead of trying to walk before I learn to crawl. I need to crawl before I walk. Meaning that I’m trying to start off from an advanced affiliate marketing level when really I just need to take action and stop comparing myself to other’s. And start from ground zero instead of the very top.
I listened to my excuses to the point that it paralyzed and overwhelmed me: That was what our conversation was about. Sonia helped me recognize my pain.
Do you believe in serendipity? I do.
Between talking to Sonia yesterday, reading Nathaniell’s JVZoo review today. Which led me to search for him within Wealthy Affiliate to confirm his identity and my insecurities. (by the way he is still going strong eight years later I might add) and last but not least receiving my one year badge. I have to say “yes.” I do believe in serendipity or maybe I should call it synchronicities. Its been a good day.
At any rate, I hope that whoever is struggling as I have with their online business is that you: “never give up.” Whether you are a Premium member or starting out with your free one week trial. Complete the training lessons and exercises within Wealthy Affiliate.
If you miss the mark one day, get up and try again the next day. For just as the sun rises and sets. As long as you’re alive. There will always be another tomorrow.
Success is on your doorstep.
Again. The question of the day. Do you believe? I do. And one year later.
Bye for now.
Becky
