Soon it will be 5 years (28 Feb 2014) since I joined and just wanted to post on what Wealthy Affiliate means to me and quite possibly to you.

Like many members here. Before joining WA, we may have been looking for various forms of affiliate programs where we could earn and for some create an income that will give us that financial freedom we have been looking for.

Unfortunately and I know many can relate there are affiliate programs that promise you the world but give a hunk of rock that for many just seems like a meteorite that plunges dangerously back and damages all around you ( Which usually means our hip pocket).

For a few years I was one of those unfortunate beings that looked around for that shiny object , thought I was getting that gold but in reality just got something that was gold plated (if I was lucky).

I later realized that more time was being wasted finding these so called quick push button schemes than something of real value that actually worked without being rip off.

You know the ones that also promised you can make thousands by the end of the week or month at only the push of a button.

Or the type that say you can earn thousands just by promoting and getting this program that will earn money for you just like the rich folk online.

Eagerly you get the program mainly because it already heavily discounted from $497 to $27 but remember “time is limit and only if you get it now”.

Therefore, you start to think Wow what a saving, for only $27 I have already saved helps and now I am going to get thousands if not more back in a week or month.

Yea in your dreams

You start dreaming and say to yourself

“This is what I was looking for a program that is going to make me rick in no time. Can’t wait to quit my 9-5 job and live a life of financial freedom just like these guys in the ads with the Millionaire dollar Yacht’s, hugs Mansions (funny how most seem to look the same) be able to own and drive expensive cars like the usual Lamborghini they have and heaps more. It is just going to be party, party, party)

For starters many such programs with their ads are rented Yacht’s , cars, mansions and even hire actors most of who are in on this together because there are programs where they support each other and get their cuts from your hard earned money.

They get rich quick not you.

So where does that lead us?

I almost gave up and started to believe all affiliate-marketing options were just scams designed to rip you off.

That is until with my last resort I came across a group called Wealthy Affiliate.

Admittedly I was still in that shiny object syndrome phase of I want to make money but was getting to the end of my straw with finding something online that would get me there.

When I read about this so-called Wealthy Affiliate, I found out that I could join as a free member for 7 days with no credit card details required as most places seems to want.

This was different so I took the plunge and joined as a free starter member.

Next, I was getting messages from the two founding members in Kyle and Carson.

Then started to receive welcoming messages and encouragement from fellow community members that I thought was a kind and comfortable gesture.

One that I still do from the time I started to now whenever someone would join or if they choose to follow me I would treat them with respect and welcome as I was.

Shortly later I found both Kyle and Carson were true to their words with all that is available to you be it as a starter or premium member which I became shortly after.

I remember still as a Newbie I was very cautious and to me this was the last straw.

The only part that made me join was the fact it was free to start and test the water so to speak, no credit card was required and that there was no obligation to go further if I chose not to.

What a relief that was after all those scams.

Shortly after I found that this was not one of those Get Rich Schemes but designed to teach you the right way to online marketing, where you not only gain valuable knowledge on online or affiliate marketing but you also learn how to earn and grow online in the process.

It only took two or three days can’t remember which when I decided yes this is the place I was looking for and as I felt comfortable I took the first month offer of $19 and after that went monthly. Later I changed to yearly, which I still am now.

It was as simple as that.

I knew by using PayPal I had control over the monthly payments and if anything bad was going to happen, PayPal will help me out as I have trust in PayPal they have helped me in the past with a couple issues that I managed to get a refund quickly from some of these frauds.

My trust in Wealthy Affiliate did not take long either as I could feel a positive and happy attitude within me when thinking and leaning about WA and all it gave to its members.

I learned to trust my gut on this one and so glad I did.

Guess what

Nothing bad happened in fact a few interesting things did happen.

  • I got some great training from WA when I started and because I went Premium within the first week I got all the training available at once that way I could just continue after each lessons and course was completed.
  • I learned how to create a website on WordPress, as I never thought this would be possible as I felt this was only possible for the Web Geeks.
  • I created the first group of pages on my initial SiteRubix website.
  • Then I had the confidence to purchase my own domain.
  • I learned how to transfer my domain to WA's hosting which was a no brainer as the hosting was free for Premium members. I saved some money in the end as well.
  • I created more posts for my website and still doing the same (it never ends because success always continues).
  • I started to blog in WA. I wasn't quite sure what blogging was until I joined. Last time I did over 500 odd words was for an exam many, many years ago plus a few years extra for good measure
  • I got to Number 3 in the Ambassador ranking and that was when there were only 12 Ambassadors (mind you that involved a lot of work in bloggings, help and giving support to other fellow members and really just getting involved with the community
  • I had well over 100 odd blogs just on WA itself then but did take some off later so at the moment there are over 50
  • I even managed to create some training sessions as well.
  • I already had Facebook for personal use then I created a fan page as well thanks to WA training
  • I joined Pinterest, Twitter and Google plus and will still use Google plus until that days comes when it’s gone.
  • Pinterest I never heard of until I came to WA now I have many followers on that site alone. To me Pinterest as I was told once, was mostly for women who go on this to show their pictures of their arts and crafts, Clothes and nail care. However Pinterest is for all and a very successful platform to use for your website if used properly
  • Twitter I thought was for the teenagers so I never thought twice about it until again WA came to the rescue.
  • Google was Google, which I already had until the Plus came into effect. Sadly, Google Plus is on its way out but until then I will continue to use it.
  • I have joined a few affiliate groups and now am earning some money not megabucks but slow and steady will win the race here. I hope that a bit of an extra tailwind will come to push where possible.
  • I have two websites running nicely
  • I am still learning
  • I am still helping
  • I am still enjoying all I do within Wealthy Affiliate
  • I am earning some income.
  • I will earn more as time progresses.
  • I am still driving towards that success I want.
  • I will get there.
  • Why will I get there because I believe in Wealthy Affiliate and all they do
  • Moreover, I believe in going forward and believe in myself and in all I do.

Kyle and Carson

I am constantly amazed with what Kyle and Carson bring to our dinner table full of so many goodies that you just cannot get enough of.

There are so many benefits that are too many to mention in one-blog post but I encourage you to pause for a bit (after you read this post that is) to look around this site get familiar with all the areas and look at the many options you may not remember, know or taken for granted.

A good place to start is go to the dollar sign then click links and tracking and at the top you will see Premium promo click on that and see what WA has brought to the table.

Many of these are only a few years old or less in the making and I am sure there are many more surprises after the 2019 Las Vegas conference ends.

So to Kyle and Carson

A huge Thank you because of your ingenuity, kindness in wanting to share your skills, knowledge and love for helping others many seeking success online would have simply just either given up or still seeking and losing from that shiny syndrome I spoke about earlier.

You have shown the light that has opened our eyes and gave us the opportunity to go forward in life both online and offline

Finally and very importantly, I have made many good friends here in WA.

Because of you here in Wealthy Affiliate it enables me to want to keep going forward due to your support, encouragement and caring.’

The Pay it Forward syndrome is far greater than that shiny object syndrome and of more worth and value that money cannot give.

That is Friendship, gratitude, kindness and many more of the proper values in life.

Therefore, to You reading this I say Thank you.

As I state in my profile towards the end.

Always enjoy what you are doing and do what you enjoy.

Believe in yourself and always go forward.

Take care and be well

Always strive to succeed and you will achieve.

The Light is within you, Let the Light Grow Strong,

For You are the Glory of All THAT IS.

Radiate that light for others to see so that too can shine their light

In the light we serve.

Be at Peace.

Namaste

Andre

Hi Andre
Thank you for your share, it is wonderful to see that your experience is similar to mine - though I have been here a much shorter period of time. I think it's important for people like you, who have been with WA for a number of years, to share your journey as you have here - it's great for the newbies to see that there is longevity in this. Like you, I truly appreciate Kyle and Carson for the ingenious way they have put the training together, how they support the community by being tapped in and hands-on, available for us to make contact with. This community is also a very special place, we have incredible members who are so generous with their expertise and knowledge. What a journey!
Here's to your continued and increased success going forward!
Blessings
Louise

I agree especially for any newbies whether they are starters or just gone premium it is important to know that this place we often call home is truly a wonderful platform where you will really learn all the right ways to be successful online.

Many blessings and have an awesome 2019
Andre
