Is What You Are Doing Here At WA Worth It?

Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

I want to try and put all of you in another mind set. When I joined WA of course it was to learn to make money online. I have had writing jobs in the past and wrote articles for money. Great job but I did not own my content.

They paid me for my article and that was the end of it. They used my article and added affiliates and other streams of income to the article I wrote for them. Once I give up my right to my content then I can no longer make money from the content. The company I worked for could make streams of income.

I decided from that moment on I want rights to my content. I want to be the person making money from my content. The point of this article is, I want you to stop thinking about the money for a moment.

Start thinking about what you are writing. When you are done writing your article you feel good about what you wrote and you want to share it with us right away and the rest of the world for that matter. Remember you are sharing it with the world!

You might not think so right now because you are trying to build traffic and get the world to notice you. Once you develop that traffic you have now exposed your content to thousands, millions and billions of people.

I hope this happens for all of us. Treat your writing like you are a Author of your own book and your website is your book filled with all this content that you wrote. Look at the internet as a library, we are all creating a library for generations to come. The internet is growing, will continue to grow and we are going to grow along with it.

If you start looking at your website like your own personal book that you have to continue to create to complete your book and you are the Author of your book. Stop worrying about the money. You might pleasantly be surprised that the money will find you!! Now get going and finish that book. We all have a library to fill. There is plenty of room for Author's of this library. When I look at it this way, it makes every article I write worth it!!

Good Luck to all of you at WA and I wish you much success in 2015!!
