What To Do Now - I'm Sooooo. Stuck

I can't move! OMG! I was doing so well with every lesson until the one I'm on now. I have no desire to write a review of any other program, platform, or anything associated in anyway to making money online or whatever anyone wants to call this niche!!!!!

I have spent over a decade falling for all the gimmicks, scams, and heck, I was in the MOBE training when the FTC shut it down!

This is why I'm with WA. I don't want to be affiliated to anything I've researched and I sure as hell don't want to write about them on my sight.

I want to promote WA because it is honest and for what I have seen there is a strong sense of integrty amongst this community. I am proud to put it on my site and my name on it.

I'm not at the point in my life where money is the only way to happiness. I don't need it that bad to promote products I would never put my name on and I have no desire to write any kind of review about something I do not approve.

Yes, first and formost, I am Mother to 6 wonderful, now successful adult children. I would never intentionally lead them astray on any issue and I can't put on my website any name or product that I feel is unacceptable to allow someone to click on the link.

In no way am I self righteous, or that I believe I'm above anyone else. I haven't found another that is worthy to be on my site where I promise to not sell anything or promote anything that remotely looks and smells like a rip off.

I had a dream of what I wanted to accomplish and I have lost my direction to that also.

I am passionate about WA. I want to promote it. I don't want to promote anyone just to have an affiliate link to make money from.

So, maybe I'm in the wrong niche or maybe I'm in the wrong everything.

All I know is I'm 56 years old and all I have of value is my integrity. So far, I haven't found anything besides WA that will not compromise it.

At this point all I want to do is sit down and bawl my eyes out, but I did that yesterday. Only to try again and waste another day researching another program to review that is not worthy of it. You know the saying: Good or bad if brought to words gives power. I will not contribute to their power.

I'm stuck. If anyone can help me get out of this place, I'd be so very grateful.

Hi Rebecca.

I am not an affiliate marketer (well, maybe later) in my primary website. Certainly, I didn't come on board to make money through affiliate marketing, but I begin to see the possibilities, and a **fun** way to compete against the others here.

So, my primary website is an idea I have for a real-world business. It will benefit greatly from a great web presence, and that is why I joined this programme.

My secondary website is my "baby", it's what I take delight in writing and it's fun and therefore it is **easy to generate content**. It is not a "chore" at all. Because I am engaged, I see opportunities to create affiliate links everywhere, but—and believe me, this is a HUGE but—I will do so primarily to share my (ahem) wisdom with my readers, not (primarily) to make money.

In short, in my second website, I'll be having fun, and hopefully, engaging with my audience in much the same way as I do here. I expect that I'll probably end up earning some moola too.

Doing reviews and such is the standard approach to the top of the affiliate-links mountain, but don't let yourself think that it is the only approach. Enjoy what you do, give your readers value, and how can you miss?

Best wishes for your success.

Regards,

P.S.

Hey Rebecca, there are some good suggestions already. I share some of what your feeling. I want my site to be positive, so the idea of anything on there that's negative doesn't sit well. That being said, I found WA by reading a review on a 'shiny object' site. He was fair in his appraisal, laying out the facts and not just bad-mouthing, then towards the end pointed me towards a 'Genuine Opportunity' and here I am.
Your personal experiences with the scam/spam sites only serve you well in helping others avoid them and giving them them the chance to join WA.
Hope this helps.

Your reviews of these other money making 'opportunities' can be about letting people know about your experience with them, and how you would avoid them. Show people the red flags to look for and then recommend WA. I too have been caught out and I look for reviews on virtually everything now before I part with my money. I hope this helps. Denise.

Hi Becca.
You can write about your experiences with WA without doing reviews. I have an affiliate website with links to WA, and although I do have reviews on my website it is not a "review site". The site theme is financial independence through a website.It is primarily to inform people about how to build a website and make money with it. As I feel WA has the best website training out there I am promoting WA on my site. I could still do the website without the affiliate links and review and tell everyone how great it is. Check it out here: Rich-Retirement,com You don't have to do an affiliate website..You can do a website about anything you a passionate about. You will still learn how to build an awesome website

Hope this helps
Pat

Hi Becca,

I can relate to this, but what I have learned is that a "review" does NOT have to be geared towards promoting a product. In fact, given what you said about having been sucked into different programs and scams, you are in a really unique position to warn people about these! Go ahead and write a negative review - put your feelings about other platforms out there and then guide your audience to the one platform that HAS worked for you - WA!

Believe it or not, people love a bad review, especially if they are authentic and are then pointed in the right direction!

What do you think about writing those kinds of articles?


Sending you lots of good vibes -

Hello Rebecca?
I'm glad you're enjoying WA and understand that you don't want to review another company?
Is there anything I can help you to decide on reviewing? what are you interested in?
