Quite depressed reading the criticisms of WA

I was searching for negative reviews of WA but they are so rare. Thats odd because for every business, there has to be few unhappy members. Natural. With great difficulty, I came across few unhappy ex-members in few forums criticizing alot on many aspects of WA.

Some of Their complaints sound legit. One of the complaint is this that, affiliates make fake reviews of other products, even though people find it satisfactory, without testing them, in not a very honest way, just to prove that WealthyAffiliate is better.

Another complaint is this that promoting WA is now an over saturated niche. Already there are hundreds of affiliates promoting it all over Internet so what are the chances that a newbie will be able to get any stand on it?

There are more complaints as well.

I am not criticizing WA. I really love WA and its community. These are what people say, I think these needs rebuttal or else it will depress newbies like me and demotivate us. Its important to know or else what will I respond To those who ask me?

Does anyone have rebuttals or answers to the complaints people make against Wealthy Affiliate, preferably, the old members? I can also post these complaints with their rebuttals that you give me on my website in a FAQ section which will be a great idea. Please.

So don't promote WA, nevertheless...there is a lot out there to promote. A LOT. And WA can teach us how to promote ANYTHING. Oversaturated? Maybe, maybe not. But if you really believe that, pick a different niche. That's what I'm doing. At least for now. But in reality, I may jump in and do the WA affiliate thing as well...as the lessons here are really really good.

you can always remember those small minds that helped you
MAKE YOUR DAY!!
Cheers,
Ken

Hey, Abdullah,
Thanks so much for the like.
Cheers,

There will always be people that don't like WA it does not matter what people create online someone will criticism it
It would be a strange world if there were no critics of WA or anything else for that matter
We area all different and we all have different agendas

So just move on from this otherwise it will just distract you from what you are really trying to do

Hi, Abdullah sounds like you are going through the questioning and hesitation phase. There are basically two directions you can go at WA,one is the niched based way and the other is the WA promotion path. the choice is yours.
I see it all over folks that come to WA leave only to pop up somewhere else online, still looking still searching for that way to make income online WA is not my only port of call.
I too see comments in other forums denigrating WA, the thing is that these folks just didn't get it pure and simple.
If you actually analyze the value of the resources that you get for your premium membership it far out ways any disadvantage. Even if I did nothing other than using the hosting that comes with that membership I would be well ahead. So the odd referral is an added advantage. best wishes for your, journey heading forward. My advice is get stuck in.

We are all different and learn things in different ways. As long as you make your content individual and interesting, there's no reason for you not to have a 'slice of the pie'.

It also appears that you had to do a lot of searching to be able to find those negative comments and therefore the same could be said for anyone else looking for them.

Thanks for your response.

I think the easiest rebuttal is to say that WA is a training platform for those interested in doing the work to develop their own on-line business. It isn't a get rich quick scheme or an easy option to make passive income. So if you aren't interested in working at a business then it isn't for you.

For the argument about many people promoting WA, again say it isn't relevant because most people here have their own niches either instead of or as well as the WA promotion, again it's about building your own business in whatever area you want.

Because everyone here is learning there will be mistakes made or things tried that don't work, such as different approaches to writing reviews but over time the successful and committed ones will come up with a system that works best for them. So no not everything is perfect but the emphasis here is on learning and sharing.

Thanks for your input. Really appreciated

It makes me sad that this has depressed you. I think that for any product, and WA is one, there are going to be some disgruntled customers. Like you, I'm new to WA, but I have run a business before, and know first-hand that some people are never satisfied no matter how great of a product you give them, especially if it means having to do some actual work on their part. As far as I'm concerned, the only rebuttal needed is that you're sorry to hear they weren't happy with the program, but you have had a very different, positive experience. I would imagine there are people who post false reviews, because there are dishonest, lazy folks in every community. But those people don't usually succeed, and the truth will out them eventually. Don't let that possibility color your perception of the whole community, though. Really, in your business it only matters how you do things, and your actions are also the only ones you can control. Honesty is clearly of value to you, so work honestly. As far as the WA market being saturated, well, I find that hard to believe considering how much I use the Internet and how I'd never even heard of it before last week! If that possibility worries you, though, that's not a route you have to take. You can create your own website and earn from there. I hope I've been able to encourage you a little! It can be tough to battle negativity, but the best way to do it is to succeed according to your principles!

Hey ASherazi,

As I remarked the other day just remember there are basically
two types of people in this World, WINNERS that DO and LOSERS than only THINK about doing! The WINNERS associate
themselves with other WINNERS and the LOSERS usually associate with other like minded individuals and talk about how
they tried that WA and didn't do a thing. Right - they didn't do a thing! A quote comes to mind referring to With-Kev's response -
"No masterpiece was ever created by a lazy artist." -Anonymous
So, don't worry about the small group of nay-sayers that try to
take other people down to their level (NOT A GOOD PLACE TO
BE)!!
Hang in there.
Cheers,
Ken

Your response is EPIC.

There are billions of people on the internet with many different interests. More than enough for every WA member to make a very comfortable income.
You have to remember, most of these people promoting anything on the internet have no idea what they are doing. Of if they do, they are too lazy to put in the effort.
You only have to do it better than they do.
Follow the lessons and do exactly as they say, complete all the tasks and ask questions. You will succeed.
Hope this helps. Cheers Kev

Thanks for your comforting feedback

You are welcome. Cheers kev

What is incredible is there are so few complaints. There are over 1 billion people on the internet at any one time...you just need to channel a tiny percentage....we only have 600,000 at WA, and a lot aren't even active, which isn't even 1 million. How many people do you think McDonalds have?

There will always be ways to get disheartened.....but what you need to look at is what gets your heart racing.

Focus is the key...stop trying to get everyone, just get people who are like you.......I focus on people who are into steampunk.

Find your niche and you will do well. There will always be whiners...usually those are the ones who have never been in business and don't realise...yes.....there is a lot of work involved but you have the choice to work hard for an employer or work hard for yourself.....the problem with working for yourself there is no one to make you do the work and the rewards take a long time, that is why few people are successful in business because they want instant satisfaction and that is why there are so many scammers on the internet they have a lot of disillusioned people to choose from. I hope this helps you and I wish you all success.

Your words are truly relieving. If someone asks me what the best aspect of WA, then the answer would be its beautiful community. Thanks

Go get 'em Tiger!

The difference between wanting something and having something is action. If the people are upset because it didn't do a thing it's not WA it's the fact that they didn't act on the training and tools given to them. Focus on the truth and the positive. Work at the niche that you are happy in with the training provided and you will succeed because you are an action taker!

Ultimateless, I am truly impressed with your response. I must say, that should go in a book somewhere. lol :-)

ASherazi, work hard and don't give up! Ever!
