This is the letter I received and I am happy to share it with you because there are details mentioned about Wealthy Affiliate that everyone should know. If you have received this letter from the same sender please just ignore.

Hi Jimmy,

We've recently been doing head-to-head comparisons between SBI! and some of the big players in the site hosting and building area. The results were mind-boggling. I’ll tell you about that shortly. We knew that SBI! gives solopreneurs an edge, but this was an amazing insight. So we thought that we’d ask some of the top-performing SBIers, “HOW? WHY?”

Scroll right down to the blue box with our question for you. Or continue reading for background. It's fascinating!

Your site, , is in the top 500 sites which we choose to feature on Sitesell results (out of about 1200). That’s mighty heady stuff...

Congratulations!

With an Alexa ranking of below 1 Million, you're in the top 99.5 percentile. That means that you do better than 99.5 % of 170 million active websites. But even that does not fully express the magnitude of your accomplishment. Consider this...

• That includes all sites in the world. But the top 1,000,000 are weighted more heavily with larger companies, governments, news, entertainment, gaming, e-commerce/retail, social media and other “special function” sites, all of whom have the staff to do things that solopreneurs cannot.
• It’s all the more impressive because most solopreneurs fail dismally. I wrote a blog post about the "State of Solopreneurship." It shows that the success rate of solopreneurs is lower than you might think.

In short, to emerge from the massive mire of “solo failure” and elbow your way into the top 1 Million (“where the big boys play”) is pretty extraordinary. And teeny SiteSell’s Solo Build It! contributes way more than its fair share to that lofty group...

In fact, we recently did head-to-head comparisons with major web hosts and site builders. The results were stunning:

• Solo Build It! members are 10X more likely to achieve success compared to people who try to build a website using GoDaddy.
• They’re 33X more likely to achieve success compared to Wealthy Affiliate users.
• And they’re 115X more likely to drive high levels of traffic compared to Wix users.

We have our own thoughts on why that is - a combination of the elimination of “worst practices” and nurturing of best ones. But we’ll keep our own insights vague - we’d love to get your insights. After all, YOU live it through unique eyes!

We know that we don’t make you succeed. YOU do that. SBI! merely provides an environment that unleashes the potential that we believe most people with “BAM” possess. We know what SBI! does to eliminate failure. But we need your perspective to keep getting better at enabling success.

So we have a single question for you (to answer, simply reply to this email)... What are the top 3 ways in which SBI! has contributed to your success?

Please give it some careful thought. And add more ways if you can’t narrow it down to 3. This isn’t a test. ;-)

We'll combine all the answers we receive into cumulative conclusions (ex., "24% said this, 23% said that, etc., etc"). This generalized information will be super-useful to improve SBI!.

Please add any other thoughts you may have. Over the years of doing surveys, we’ve found that "extra thoughts" sometimes have the most useful information of all. :-)

We’d also like to promote these findings if they provide useful new information that potential new SBIers should know. So lastly…

Please let us know if we can use your individual answers publicly.

Thanks very much in advance for participating in this survey. If you could send your reply by December 22nd, that would be great (as I said above, simply reply to this email, no form to fill in!).

On behalf of everyone here at SiteSell, here’s wishing you continued and growing success with your online business.

And of course, Happy Holidays to you and your family.

Warm regards,

Founder, SiteSell

This is my response

Thank you for the information that my site is on the top 500 you've chosen.

I am an internet newbie and I'm looking for a site that could help me discover how to start an online business. When I come across with Wealthy Affiliate I found their Online Entrepreneur Certification Course and Affiliate Bootcamp Training beneficial to a person as I am. However, on the course lessons "SiteSell" is being mentioned by the participants, recommended as among the Affiliate Programs that could help individuals as part of their tasks and applications to be done. So I come to know about SiteSell.

As I have mentioned I am a novice on the internet. I tried to find some helpful lessons that could augment what I am learning from WA. I noticed that there are no other ways than to promote SiteSell or Solo Build It without any other products and I know people are so adamant to grab such an opportunity without understanding what could benefit them in the end.

That is the very reason why I got inactive on my activity on SiteSell. Maybe I haven't yet discovered your excellent online educational programs that could make a newbie like me an expert in my own field. I badly needed courses and trainings to become a successful entrepreneur that could save me from economic bankruptcy.

Thank you and I wish you a Merry Christmas this year.

Jimmy
