Building a future with Wealthy Affiliate: It's The Real Thing
Just a short and hopefully inspirational post about Coca Cola and why being here at WA is so important for your success.
Coca-Cola Only Sold 25 Bottles in it’s First Year!
This factoid floats around on social media as an inspirational quote shared by business people.
It isn’t true of course!
In fact, Coca Cola probably sold about 100 times more than this spurious factoid suggests.
The truth is, Coca-Cola was still a failure when it started.
John Pemberton, the founder of Coca-Cola likely netted about $50 dollars in his first year which was 1886.
A colossal failure when you consider that he spent $70 on advertising.
It was perseverance and faith in the product that would have kept Pemberton going.
But did you know that Pemberton sold his business in 1888 and died shortly after?
He gave it a couple of years only and then quit it.
From that point on, the business continued to grow and now sells 1.4 billion servings a day. Pemberton never could have predicted the extreme success of his back-garden creation.
Building websites and growing an audience is your back garden creation!
So, while Coca-Cola definitely didn’t sell 25 bottles in it’s first year, it wasn’t some overnight success.
It took years to cultivate such a worthwhile brand with so much sticking power.
You need to be patient and keep working and adding to your website, content and learning every week from Kyle and Jay.
That in itself is something to consider when you wonder why you haven’t reached your dream targets yet.
Not everyone is going to build a Coca Cola type of business, but with work and perserverence on your website or websites hosted here and the lust for learning and growing it, within a couple of years it could easily be bringing you in an extra $500 a month, $5000 a month or probably even more.
You have to think about the long game here folks.....
And that's why being part of a supportive and trustworthy brand like WA is vital to your success.

I'd be happy with an extra $500 a month--even more is simply gravy! Great post, Tony!

Hi, Tony, that is so interesting, a lot of companies that become household names have vanished. The really interesting thing is that they continue to be successful, keep being relevant.
Looking at WA we have such a foundation to launch from, for sure many will experience different degrees of success. At the core we have access to all the same knowledge training and resources how we decide to use them at days end will dictate the degree of our continued and sustainable success.
