So I either made a life changing decision or got scammed

I've been hearing great things about wealthy affiliate. I first heard about it from Nathaniell Brenes of Onemorecupof-coffee.com. Later I heard more about it from various bloggers. I already have a website with over 20 articles that gets ranked in google(not ranked that well in google, but hey! they rank a little bit!). The website started in late September and I've made about $40-$60. I recently got a couple guest blog posts on fairly high authority niche related sites. My biggest achievement so far is learning to love writing. When I started, I hated writing. I would put out good content, but it was like a slave-shift to write. Now I look forward to writing 500-1000 word articles daily. Yay!

I'm looking into how I can take my affiliate game to the next level. My goal is to get $1000 a month by the end of this year whether it's from one website or multiple sites.

I am 16 and still in high school. I've weighed my options multiple times and I feel like higher education isn't for me. That might sound a bit arrogant, but I care about my future a lot more than my friends who want to go to college so they can become "successful". I've learned most of my valuable skills online such as programing(html, css, java, cpp, and a tiny bit of IOS development) and even music production.

So far I'm loving every aspect of the web-trepreneur lifestyle. Everything from the web design, to writing, to promoting, to profiting.

Wealthy Affiliate, I hope you can help me out!

Thanks, Doug
