How time flies and the bank account empties

Then I got into another program that did not scam me in the sense I got nothing at all and lost something. They provided to be an educational tool but they were just teaching basic marketing funnels that I learned back in college but I stuck it out figuring it had to only get better. So a second module and then when the 3 module came and was 5 times the price...I was out.

I am not even sure how I came across the WA, I certainly did not go looking for it but some how I ended up on the home page. The week free to try and without a credit card had me hooked for one last attempt at making a business from this. That 7 day trial taught me more and made me accomplish more than the other 6 months I wasted at the other 2 educational services. I signed up immediately for my first discounted month.

The first 2 weeks were great! I was pounding through the lessons, soaking in all this great wealth of knowledge and support but my sponge needed to be rung out to soak up more or I needed to become a Sham-wow. Then trouble arouse. My whole site went all wonky, content I added kept disappearing, my account kept freezing and wouldn't load or wouldn't load anything new. I couldn't type anything without it freezing and SiteSupport couldn't figure it out. At this point I was like, #@*%! this I am out.

Apparently I came into the WA through someone I didn't even know but I was fine with as it made no difference no me. I reached out to this person once before with a simple question and they answered accordingly and professionally. When this issue started to arise, I reached out again only to get one of the rudest messages I had ever gotten. Needless to say, I never responded to this person ever again, I do not need that sort of negativity in my life. I reached out to our faithful founders and awaited a reply and then reached out to SiteSupport who worked with me for several days to get it fixed but finally told me they really had no idea what to do as nothing made sense.

Now I have never been good with computers, I actually have tried to avoid them my whole life, thus why I decided to juggle glass bottles for a career as a flair bartender. Closest I got to a computer was a calculator on my cellphone, perfect job. I got to travel the world, work in 16 different countries, worked in Hollywood movies, worked in television and made more money than I could handle at the time. Unfortunately an unforeseen accident ended all that and I refused to just end up on disability and a fixed income sitting around all day. I'm not that type of person, I needed to always be testing myself, pushing myself forward and actually accomplish something. even though I had to work with computers now, my biggest and hardest task to date. I was simply just fed up with all the scams, rudeness and overall not being able to fix a problem which I have always done simply because I didn't know a thing about what I was doing with computers.

Enter Carson. If you haven't had the privilege to talk or work with Carson, you have to add this to your bucket list. Carson is usually a little quiet and in the background here at WA as my experience to date has been dealing with Kyle mostly. Thanks to Carson coming along when he did and helping me out the way he did, he showed me that this company ACTUALLY does care about their clients. Carson even admitted he had no idea why my account was doing what it was doing but he never stopped and never gave up.

For 18 days of messaging back and forth and him he finally got my account working, got back all of my content that I had lost but could not retrieve the logo that I had modified from a previous business I had. That whole experience with Carson is what made me tough this out and make it work.

The WA is not perfect, there are things that need to be changed and some that have been changed. What makes the WA so great is simply it's honest, it's true, in most cases it's affordable. I am currently on a fixed income and it as been a real hard road to make my monthly fees every month but I have done what has been needed to be done to make it happen. Simply because, there is not a better education, better support or resources on the whole of the internet and all for this amazing price. I am surprised there's not a picture of the WA beside the word value in the Oxford dictionary.

So, what have I accomplished in 6 months at the wealthy affiliate and will I continue for another 6 months? Between the first ordeal I went through with my site, through my landlord being arrested and me loosing my internet and then missing a months payment trying to get internet back, I have only had 4 months of actually useage of my WA account in which time I have gotten through Course 3 in the certification classes, I have 3 websites up and running and a 4th in the barrel that I am ready to pull the trigger on soon. Only 1 is on the cusp of being ready to start some revenue coming in. I have made some amazing friendships, I have lost some also which I am not terribly upset about. My knowledge ad confidence of working on computers has grown easily 10 fold and then multiplied by a hundred. It has given me great satisfaction every time I am able to help someone with a problem and get them moving forward again towards their goals. I will most definitely be back for another 6 months and most likely even more years after that.

No matter what your experience, no matter what you know about computers, no matter you already work 2 jobs to get by but as long as you can do the work, be diligent and dedicate some time, even 4-6 hours a week, you can take this opportunity and turn it into a bright future that can make that burden and responsibility of 2 jobs and turn it into a 10 hour work week that you can do from anywhere in the world. No matter that I have not made any money yet ,I know what my future now holds and how easily I can obtain it and it's all thanks to Carson and Kyle at the Wealthy Affiliate.

Thanks guys, cheers!

Thank you to my WA family for all your help and for making this greatest challenge of mine actually fun!

Happy Affiliating in 2018!!
