Some People Really Don't Understand How WA Works
So today I'm minding my own business, as usual, when I get a comment on my site. Excited and eager to see what they had to say, I rushed to my inbox and took a gander
This is what the person had to say:
I wasn't mad or anything when I read it. I was just really sad; if anything, I felt a wave of pity. I can understand having grievances with WA as a platform (even if I don't agree), but this person wasn't even talking about that.
They sounded like someone stuck in the rat race, bitter that other people are trying to find other means of being successful. This person suggests that already successful people aren't interested in helping others, which is just a sad viewpoint.
Not to mention totally wrong! Plenty of successful people here even offer training detailing step-by-step instructions on how they got to where they were.
Anywho, just thought I'd share that. I replied to the comment more-or-less summing up my thoughts here. I didn't want to delete it because I believe in letting people say what they want to say.
Just be ready to hear my retort lol. Thanks for reading!

Hurting people try to hurt other people. This person just had some frustration due to a previous experience and saw your website as an outlet to vent it out.
Good on you for replying in a positive way, keep moving forward.
All the best

Thanks Darren.
I don't mind that they did, but I do hope that they are happy with whatever they are doing. And even if they don't believe so, I hope that I could at least encourage someone else to believe in the power of online income through WA.
Positivity does go a long way towards success.
I totally agree.
It is sad, and I find it best to leave people like that to their own devices. Nothing we say or do will change their opinion of themselves or how they perceive the world works. But as my wife always says, "The world needs ditch diggers, too." lol
Keep the faith, friend :-)
Hey, thanks for your comment. I like your wife's quote and gotta make sure to use it sometime haha.
Don't worry, the money that I've made while following Wealthy Affiliate has made me a believer for life lol. If I can do it from absolute scratch, I know that anybody can.
Thank you for sharing this comment. Wow people have a lot of guts I will say that. Still not necessary to put that on someone's post.
Just rude. Sorry they did that.

I don't mind too much. Sometimes the most critical comments are the ones that offer the most value. If anything, I just felt bad for the person on the other end.
A life that you don't think is worth improving is not the kind of life I'd want for anyone.
Thank you for sharing this, the thing is if this person is looking at your site they are trying to find a way to make money. Just address their fears, be gentle and you may find a customer. On the other hand you may have a narrow minded person who will never change, good luck with this one.
Yeah, you never who what mental space people are in. I just wanted to be positive and try to address their concerns, which I think I did fairly and firmly. Thank you for the comment!
Thank you Denver. 2014 since you joined WA. A long timer and your wisdom shows through.
A wonderful mindset you have.
I love sharing with young people that in 1908 they wanted to close the Patent Office as everything had been invented.
Trains couldn't go over 60 MPH as they would come off the tracks etc.
Wow. Everything we know has been created since, (as the Creator permitted and encouraged, I know).
And I also say, at age 72, "the best is yet to come"
Keep on Denver.
Thank you.

Thanks for sharing the comment you revived. Yes, it is sad. I think no only do most people not know how Wealthy Affiliate works but, they don't know how making money online works.
Anyhow, I agree with you for not erasing the comment. In my opinion, is natural comment. I would have done the same thing; kept the comment.
Yeah, this is the second negative comment I've gotten on my posts. People certainly have a right to comment on my work (I even encourage it), so I appreciate you thinking so as well.
Who knows, someone else might see my response and think better of WA.
Someone obviously has a grievance and is very likely unhappy in life generally. They're out there. It isn't personal, right. Stay focused and keep on making progress towards your goals..that's all that matters, DenverS.
Have a great week ahead. All the best.
Thanks, TimMoto, I'll keep on keeping on. Thanks for your comment and I hope you have a great week as well!
That person has a lot of anger and bitterness about how the world works. To suggest you stop trying to improve your life is ridiculous.
The whole point of personal development is to improve your life and to get organized so you can improve yourself.
Yeah, I just wasn't expecting to hear something like that.
There isn't even anything wrong with traditional labor (I assume he's talking about going to work) as long as you keep striving to get better.
Just my two cents, I suppose.
They just lack the best information about why you would be helping somebody else.
I could put myself in their shoes quite easily because any of us could stumble and assume things didn't work.
Knowing that false ideas and beliefs are too easily acquired makes me grateful that I found this place.

I believe you handled that quite well.
Thank you very much! I did try my best to stay positive.
