Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

After making the decision to venture into online marketing about six months ago I have tried several "opportunities" and spent too much time and money on scams that offer overnight success and all the support you could possibly need to get your online business up and running, most the time referring to minutes until my online business was up and running!

Although these "opportunities" did give me some training and insight into the process of owning my online business, I found to many gaps and hang-ups that stalled any previous progress I may have made. This experience only halted any motivation and put a stop to my development as a successful online business owner.

I knew that people were running successful business's online but thought they must have either way more schooling in computer science or a mentor that was willing to help them succeed. I felt defeated, and I do not like being defeated.

I gave up! A couple of months passed and I had a bad taste left in my mouth from knowing how close I felt I was, I am a hard worker and knew that with just a little guidance that I could have broke through the hang ups and been able to concentrate on the work needed to be done to become a success.

Finally I found Wealthy Affiliate. It took me under 24 hours to realize I had found something special. I wasn't going to invest in a business in a box scheme, I know had the chance to invest in a COMMUNITY of amazing people and mentors willing to guide and help me. Along with all the tools and education needed, I have never felt more motivated and excited about a opportunity to make a better life for me and my family.

I want to personally thank all of you in advance for your help and insight and I wish success for us all! To Kyle and Carson THANK YOU.
