The subject of money can be a very sensitive subject, especially on a personal level. There are many messages and blogs from both new and potential members struggling financially to make a start with, or to get on WA’s platform. It would be rewarding if we can collectively as a community find ways help pay-it-forward on this platform and help give them a start their online journey affiliate marketing.

Some of us already pay it forward in our offline lives, it’s not uncommon for someone going thru the drive-thru or in the lineup at Starbucks and many other coffee shops to pay for a cup of coffee for the next person in line.

Recently I was at the grocery store check-out and the person behind me paused on his cell phone and told the cashier he’s going to pay for my grocery, I looked to the other side of me to see who he was referring to, of course there was no one there. With a surprising look on my face and in my voice, I asked “why would you want to do that?” He appeared very genuine and lean over and said “Life is good, and all I asked is that you say a pray for me and my family.” I sense his sincerity, so I graciously accepted his generous offer, asked for his name and agreed to pray for him and his family, which I did and still do.

The above pay-it-forward system is a little more challenging online. It’s not instant, there’s a process involved and we have to beware of potential scammers.

However, on this world wide web there are people in less develop countries that don’t have a trusted pay system and don’t recognize pay systems such as the popular PayPal, and a credit card is unheard of.

So how do we proceed with a pay-it-forward in our community?

Is it a good idea?

Should it be up to their mentor to help them find the way?

Here are a few ideas on how we can pay it forward and help some of our struggling members or potential members onto our WA platform to shine with us:

Offer to pay for the 1 or 2 months of membership.

Offer financial counselling.

Help someone pursue their dream.

Hi Cav, Thanks for your input and research efforts.
It's all good.
Melanie

If you look under your credit dashboard there is a tab that says ttansfer credits that u can use to help other members
I have never used it but worth checking into. The idea is they can turn around and use ur transfered credits to help pay for domains.membership etc.

Hi - those transferred credits can only be used for comments, feedback or domains, not membership.

When i looked it stated membership dues also

Hi - unfortunately, it's not been updated. The option to transfer cash credits for membership or for cashing out has been removed. I believe it was due to fraudulent transactions.

Aww ok makes sense

ok, thanks fo the update Diane.

Hi - there isn't actually a way to pay for someone's membership. You would have to send them the money, which could lead to problems.

Thanks for the feedback Diane.

Melanie, I think that would be a brilliant idea. Of course, I think there need to be a serious criteria of contenders who we would consider 'serious,' then it would really help the community to develop as a whole. Thought provoking blog. Thank you for sharing

Hi Simome, thanks for your feedback, it means a lot. I hope it also provoke thoughts in other members as well.
