Can´t take any more !...It´s over with.
I really don´t know how to explain this ( and expect my English to accompany me), but when directed to Wealthy Affiliate, I understood this would be the place where I would find many of the answers I had been looking for in the internet, to get myself started with my own online business and be able to make a living out of it.
It is a fact that my quest for such an opportunity was almost 6 months old, during which time I came across hundreds of money making offers, of all kinds and with so many different names & dresses, promissing instant one push button programs & softwares most of them.
Lately, most of them had changed their approach, all of a sudden ( on account of the terrible reputation the so-called gurus made for themselves), by offering FREE sign ups ( because I wanna help you or it´s time to give back, etc etc ) only to find, once ^inside^, that domain was required, hosting was needed, autorresponder, my super-instant traffic wonder software and whatnot...the prospect ( me, us ) had to buy all these ^required^ add-ons in order to continue.
Sick and tired of ^program review sites^ most of which had not even purchased the product to actually REVIEW it, easyly went thru their ghost & thorough examination of such product to immediately, and very fast, reccomend it, and urge the prospect to purchase, thru their site even better, so as to get all those marvelous bonuses, hard to get elsewhere... affiliate commissions have been totally downgraded these days....or... am I wrong ? So I started to investigate what was so interesting in these domain/hosting/autoresponder/traffic etc deals, only to find very HIGH commissions to those bringing new people in ( again, us ), even to levels of $ 120 thru to $ 210 packages per new customer, not being able to sign up for trial offers when arriving thru their links, as opposed to when you land in their sites on your own. In short, new customers have to sign up for a minimum 6 month period on all those requirements, so that such FREE tag shown by product owners in their offers, was none other than a big free check to their own pockets. That really made me mad.
Ooopps, this is getting long, but bear with me, it´s my first blog, and probably the last (*)
To sum it up, that is how i landed here at WA. An honest guy named Ian P. has such different reviews than the rest that called my attention, reading more I became engaged, and I started thinking of the possibility that the WA site would really be different.
Today is my 14th. day, went Premium on the 7th, have had delays in my training, and after chatting yesterday with one of the WA members, I realized that this had to stop, gave myself 36 hrs. to provide my first blog, and this is the direct result of such short conversation....I could not really TAKE ANY MORE delays and lack of properly following training to the T, so I hope this takes care of that...IT´S OVER WITH !
Thanks much for reading.
(*) Today
Ps. May I mention that my 3 yr. old grandaughter was at our home for 5 days, problem being ( sweetest of all probs) is : She only has eyes for granpa, no one else counts for her,everything she does has to be done with granpa. Kept me pretty busy up until yesterday.
Pss. Just hope the boring was not general.

You have plenty of excuses, good ones, for not being up to date with your work. Don't beat yourself up and just keep going, Rome wasn't built in a day or even 10, and comparisons with others are never good, they do not walk in your shoes! It's good to see you participating here!
Yep Alvaro my friend, the shamefully poor treatment by some members of the IM community seem to have led many of us to WA from the same state: disillusionment. Ian's website was perfectly named nomorebsreviews and what was nice about it was his reviews were spot on! He gave searing opinions when he saw smoke and mirrors, but fair reviews of what he felt were valuable programs. I got to his site because I was(and still am) a member of Chris Farrell's membership site and was intrigued by what he would have to say. I was (and still am) happy with my membership there and when I read Ian's review I thought "That's very fair and accurate." Needless to say that made him credible in my eyes so when I saw there was a program he rated even higher than CFM, namely here at WA I read that review as well and was open to taking a look around here. So glad I did! I really like the way everything is set up here at WA and this is another strong community of individuals who support and encourage one another. I went premium within a few days and I'm not sure how to explain this exactly, but I feel VERY sure that there is a real future in online business for me now, with so many strong, smart and helpful people that have my back. I know that if I get stuck or discouraged or confused or whatever, that won't last long because I'm not in it alone. I guess it's the old strength in numbers phenomenon, but I'm feeling much stronger now. That's not even to mention the help and advice Pribs gives us in his emails. It's up to us now to do the work,because the resources to be successful are certainly lined up for rather than against us now! :)
BTW, I think your blog post was just fine, hope you'll share some more of your thoughts with us and blog some more. Take care.
Hi AlvaroC,
I'm glad you are following. I had a similar experience looking for ways to help me get started and finally found WA.
I'm very much a newbie, but with lots of help I have a website going ( very new) and am learning how to generate traffic. I never could have done this without the help of Kyle, Carson and WA members.
I think your English is quite good, better than many natives. Let's stat in touch.
Yeah Nancy, thanks for responding to my follow. Total newbie also, we should start a Noobs Club here at WA, and than inundate the web alerting every possible new victim so they can avoid the dangers presently lurking on the internet. I am not having much time to devote here, have fallen back on my training. Gotta do something about that. Cheers.
Glad to see you get your feet wet Alvaro. I have had delays too my friend, but remember that nothing worth doing is going to happen overnight. Follow the training, do the tasks, even if you get distracted or delayed, just come back to where you left off and go at it again. I am preparing for surgery and working on my site as I can right now but I know that the work I am doing now will pay me back down the road. You will find yourself enjoying the learning process more if you don't obsess over the failures of the past. I encourage you to keep on working at it, the reward will be so much sweeter. :)
Hey Michael, thank you so much for your kind words, encouragement and warmth. I really hope your upcoming surgery will be nothing but succesfull. Please take care my friend.
Nice Alvaro! I'm glad you stepped out of your comfort zone and started shooting for the stars! These small steps of action will lead to big success! I'll be there with you my friend! To your success!! :)
It`s so easy to overcharge when there`s no clear market standards. Imagine someone selling apples on the side of the road for $100 dollars each. Now imagine that someone came to the stand having never even heard of an apple before... knowledge is power!
Welcome! I was there also. Empower took nearly 339 dollars out of my account last week. Fraud squad rang me through the bank of ireland and blocked my account phew! They are investigating it as we speak. Yes, we are safe here lol. Good luck. Love your blog . Judy
