Time to Step Back as an Ambassador
As many as you know, I am thrilled to be an Ambassador and be there to answer questions on a daily basis. But what we do here at Wealthy Affiliate is not a game.
I cannot believe how quickly we have jumped into 2022 and it's almost March. I've been reflecting on where I want to be this time next year and that has made me decide to step back as an Ambassador and put that time into writing more content for my websites.
I'm sure my ranking will go up and down most weeks depending on my input here.
This doesn't mean that I won't still be around answering questions and posting tutorials most days, it just means that I am putting this task further down my priority list for now.
I want to reallocate that time to scaling up my business so that I can aim for Vegas next year. This means that I need to spend extra time studying how to write outstanding content to gain that first-page slot that I need to drive more organic traffic and get more referrals for WA.
I'll never be far away so please stay in contact, my dear friends.
To all the newbies out there. Every growing business faces these time and task challenges as you grow. I've learned heaps about commenting and sharing knowledge by gaining rank as an Ambassador, it is worth the effort.
Being an Ambassador was a goal I set myself from the day I joined and I've been proud to be ranked there. The skills that it has taught me are priceless and the knowledge that I can achieve any goal I set myself is life-changing.
Now I have a new goal and this will push me closer to my dream. I've been taking baby steps for 2 years so that I could work out where to focus on strategic places for massive growth.
Stay strong and feel good to reach for your dreams.
Wishing you all so much success!
Warm Regards,
Lily

Hi Lily,
I totally understand this and your decision.
Last year, I had to make the very same move and it has paid off handsomely.
Our WA ethos means that, WAmbassador or not, we still support and contribute.
You are an excellent Role Model and I so enjoy all that you share with us.
Wishing you the very best.

Thanks so much, Cassi.
You know how hard a decision this is for each of us but it does bring great results.
Catch you soon.
Have a great weekend.

Good evening my wonderful sister, I absolutely understand. This is the reason that people don't see me too often these days, I had to step in to what I'm doing with all of my heart, Mind and Spirit. Our world has changed, I must walk the road that needs to be walk. With all of my heart and spirit I wish you the very best in all that you do throughout this year.
It's nice when people get you, Earl.
Thanks so much for your support in my decision.
Tomorrow will be the start of a whole new system of working and I'm excited to get started.
See you soon.
Lily
Lily,
You have been a wonderful Ambassador to all at WA. I will be looking for you from time to time. You have been an inspiration to many of us here. I am spending more time creating content. I will be successful as I am sure you will be.

That's excellent news, Jerry. Just chip away at that content every day and we'll be seeing you in Vegas too.

Hi Lily,
I adopted this approach a year ago. Now I don't worry much if I am in the top 25 or not. My focus is exactly the same as yours.
There is one additional task I recommend you do. Relying on organic traffic to drive sales is one part of the equation. In addition, why not roam forums and places where budding entrepreneurs hang out who are looking for what WA has to offer?
Engage with them by answering their questions and find a way to recommend WA as a solution to their problems you discover? In other words, do what you do in the WA platform, but at these forums.
That is how I was found. My sponsor, Tim, saw my questions on an investment forum and answered me. He developed a dialog that ended up with me agreeing to check out the free WA membership.
Just a thought. I wish you all the best. It would be amazing if we both joined Tim McKinlay, an Aussie like yourself, in Vegas next year!
Cheers.

Thanks for the great advice Edwin. I will check that out. I've stepped up my presence on Quora but I never really thought about it from that angle.
It would be awesome if we could all fly over together. What a party!
Lily
This is an excellent recommendation, Edwin!
Thank you for sharing.
