Hello Everyone,
My name is Andrew, and I have failed at building a business online. Yep, sounds pretty negative at first but it's my real story. I found Wealthy Affiliate when I was only 18 and the promises of online success and millions were everywhere, seems they are timeless. I was a member for only half a year and I gave up due to others crazy "success" at PTC and surveys.
I continued my real world obligations and went on to obtain an associates degree and now I find myself getting up at 4am to play Electrician for a dying industry we all know as Newspapers. I have been trying to piece together everything about making money online, the most help I ever recieved was right here at WA. I continued to join teams, programs, hop around, learned to not hop, tried traffic generation stuff, but nothing seemed to work. This was my path for nearly 10 years. Today I decided I had enough!
I came back to Wealthy Affiliate and paid for the yearly upgrade and now I am going back to training. I have tried everything on my own and it's just not how it works. Turns out I will need help and I finally realize that in order to succeed anywhere, you must be willing to ask questions and work hard.
Here I am today, almost 29 years old and nothing to show for years of peice mealing information together. WA has changed a lot while I was gone and now I understand that I need to work harder than before and learn as much as I can from the community. I have watched others make it and rejoiced along side them. I have spent too much time in other places and it's opened up my eyes to what WA has to offer and boy, I never should have left. Sometimes we need to venture out into the world to get a better understanding. I am not the smartest man, but I have found I can learn anything if I give it my all.
I am back and ready to get started. I look forward to meeting new people, creating friendships and enjoying life! Here's a new start, here's to all of you great people, here is to a better tomorrow! :)
