I don't want people to think that I'm in danger of leaving Wealthy Affiliate because I absolutely love this platform. The training is amazing, the community is wonderful and helpful and keeping up with the times especially with the use of AI, keeps Wealthy Affiliate relevant. Now I've been here in WA for a long time, since the middle of the last decade, and during that time I've created 3 websites, but with mixed success. Have I reached the goals that I've wanted to since I've been here? The answer is no, but that is NOT the failure of Wealthy Affiliate, it solely resides with me.

My first website focused on video games, specifically, open world games from some of the previous consoles, mainly the ones from the last decade. I had some affiliate sales and have earned some ad revenue from that site, but it has not equaled the monetary goals I set out for myself. As time moved on and I got older, my interest in gaming seriously decreased. I hardly play them anymore, mainly because I don't have time and a lot of my interests have changed. The site is still around and earns a little bit of income from Google Adsense.

I then came up with a second website that focused on making money online as well as scams to avoid. The problem is I believe I made it a bit too broad and while I did try a run of promoting Wealthy Affiliate on it, my heart just wasn't in it because I didn't feel like an authority on it and so it was difficult for me to write that kind of content as well as write genuine reviews especially since I haven't reached my financial goals at Wealthy Affiliate. The site is still around as I do plan at some point to promote Wealthy Affiliate more on it and maybe one day get to Las Vegas.

I've created a 3rd website that focused on cryptocurrency and I did have a lot of interest in it initially as I really did some of my own investing in cryptocurrency, but have had limited success with it and now cryptocurrency is kind of in a lull right now and the crypto that did make me some money, I unfortunately had to sell off due to unexpected financial emergencies. I don't have near enough crypto now like I used to and the crypto I'm in now is relatively new and has a long ways to go. For now I don't feel like my focus should be on crypto.

Now that you know some of my backstory here at Wealthy Affiliate, I want to talk about my what I plan on doing next. I've had to do some soul searching and research on things to decide what I really want. How can I truly be successful here at Wealthy Affiliate and reach the goals that I first set out for myself when I first started at WA? Well, I remembered one thing that Kyle said in the training and has said repeatedly here at WA. The most important thing you want to focus your business around is HELPING people, especially helping people solve a problem. I realize that I've posted what I thought people wanted and while I have done keyword research, it didn't always lead to success. Another thing is motivation and consistency and that is something I have struggled with severely ever since I first started. I've now realized that the other sites that I've created just did not fully motivate me and thus I lost my focus on being consistent with content because I also believed my content wasn't good enough. I'm my own worst enemy.

One of my other goals was also to create a travel website because I love to travel, but the problem is, I don't travel as much as I'd like to especially these days with how busy I am with my jobs so that would be a waste of time for me at this point. So, the question becomes, what can I help people with or help them solve a problem in which I would be a well known authority on that I can build trust AND keep me motivated to keep pushing ahead as well as being consistent? Thanks to the help of AI and my own deep thoughts, I found the answer and it something that I do nearly every single day at my main job. I also read A LOT of news stories about this and this specific problem is getting worse each and every year and affects more and more people. What is it? I'll talk about that next.

I'm on the Front Lines of a Financial War and People Are Losing

Now you might be wondering what I mean by that heading. Well, it has to do with my job in that I work at a bank and my role is a bank teller. I've been in that role for just about 9 years now and I've seen a lot there, but the one thing that I see a lot of, that breaks my heart, and compells me to want to help people are scams. They are getting much worse, older people are falling for them more, and they are getting more sophisticated. Scams and financial fraud are increasing with great frequency and people's hard earned money that they've spent years saving up, are gone in a flash often times never to be seen again. These are people's retirements, life savings, emergency funds, funds for medical care and more.

During my time as a bank teller, I've seen so many kinds of scams as well as the people who have become victim to them, but I've also been able to help some of my bank's customers avoid becoming victims of scams. More often than not though, I've seen the aftermath of customers who have become victims of these aweful scams and at times it is heart breaking and it really makes me want to do more to help people from becoming victims. I see new stories about scams all the time especially from the local news in my area.

AI has suggested I focus on this as this gives me massive authority given that I'm on the front lines as a bank teller and see so much of this and this is a massive problem that people need help with so that they don't become the next news story where they lose thousands of dollars. I've got great motivation for this because I truly feel I can help people and provide genuine solutions that will greatly decrease the likelihood that they will fall victim to a scam. Plus, I can easily create my own digital products that I can promote myself one of which is an ebook that I've got nearly complete that talks about my experiences as a bank teller of the different kinds of scams that I've seen affect my customers as well as ways to avoid these scams.

I finally feel that this is the one site that I will truly be successful at because I have so much firsthand knowledge of it, but more importantly I also have solutions to that which can greatly help solve a lot of these problems because of my first had knowledge. I have so much motivation now and zeal to move forward with this I truly feel that I can now genuily help people and I'll actually be able to reach the goals that I set out for myself when I first started here. They key here is continued motivation as well as consistency which is something I feel I can actually do this time around. I will definitely keep everyone here updated with my progress with my new push here at WA.
