Ambassador For One Year - What's Next?

It has been an honor to be an Ambassador at Wealthy Affiliate for one consecutive year. I found it auspicious that my one year anniversary coincided with the roll out of the new and improved Wealthy Affiliate Platform as well as the US Presidential Election.

I am going to take this as a sign that it is time for my affiliate marketing business to start developing some traction.

Time To Reflect Back

This is a good time to step back and assess my progress so far.

I feel I have benefited greatly from Wealthy Affiliate. Let me list the three most important:

  1. Learned how to create websites and a great deal of Internet skills.
    1. Finally exceeded 100 posts on my website with a variety of MMO content.
    2. Made so many new friends and help others using the knowledge I have gained.

    This last was the most rewarding experience I have had. Notice though that earning a regular stream of income is not on that list. That exposes some weaknesses in my strategy.

    Time To Look To The Future

    Let's look at the future.

    When I see my two year anniversary looming ahead in December, I am disappointed that I have not been able to meet one of my expectations. Namely, starting to earn more referrals and a growing stream of income. My site is devoted to sharing the benefits of Wealthy Affiliate to help others join our community. I have failed in this pursuit.

    It is time for me to conduct a thorough analysis to find out where I am falling short. And then to take corrective action. I cannot expect improved results by doing the same things over and over again.

    Need To Make Strategic Changes

    My mentor, Tim and Kyle have reviewed my website and think that my content is good. That was very reassuring. They also saw areas that I need to give attention to in order to turn things around.

    That will be my focus moving forward.

    The new and improved Wealthy Affiliate Platform gives me an opportunity to conduct a major overhaul of my existing WA review.

    This will be followed by learning and doing a better job in promoting my posts through social media and Email marketing. And perhaps starting to use PPC as taught by Jay Neill.

    It is also time for me to make parallel videos of my existing blogs.

    Adding more content will also be a part of this equation.

    I went into the MMO niche when I answered the invitation of Kyle to join the Super Affiliate Challenge. This has been a truly enjoyable experience. Hence, it is not something I am going to abandon.

    But I will also start a new niche mainly to provide a contrasting experience other than MMO.

    Ammendment To My Time Management

    Perhaps you can see where I am heading with all of this. All this additional effort is going to take me much more time.

    Hence, I will not be active on Wealthy Affiliate in writing blogs, commenting on posts and answering questions. I feel that from this point forward, I must focus 100% on my business.

    No doubt I will quietly slip out of the rank of Ambassador. My rank has recently been falling. Currently I am at #21. And that is OK.

    I Will Return To The Ambassador Level

    I feel certain I will become an Ambassador again when I start to gain significantly more referrals. I will be devoting time to mentor them within the platform. When I return to the role of Ambassador I will be equipped to provide more value to the members here.

    This is going to be my last post on WA for quite a while. I will continue to be active in Site Comments and attending Jay's webinars. Plus taking advantage of the many trainings other members have created, to help me learn the skills I need to compensate for my weaknesses.

    Quitting Is Not An Option

    One thing is definite. I am not quitting. My goal to create a website that will earn me massive passive income is still intact. It is time for me to make that happen sooner rather than later.

    Of course, I will miss the interaction with the many friends I have made here. I am sure you will all understand why I am taking this position.

    I wish everyone much success in your affiliate marketing journey.

    Cheers!

    Edwin

      Thanks for the share Edwin...hoping for you to have more financial success at WA. Yes , We have to change our strategies Edwin. I shared My site's health and medical blogs and articles in social media platforms or page , since I have virtual clinic facebook page and it increases patient's awareness and many patients went into my true physical clinic site for medical check-up located in my local area of practice here in the Philippines Edwin. As of now i'm having a new clinic renovation and upgrade with some laboratory work and a Pharmacy to offer good and quality service to my patients. I may not have an income virtually but my training at WA really help a lot in augmenting my medical practice in my place Edwin. And i'm very satisfied with that, I think my virtual customers is funneled into my true medical clinic in my area of practice. During these pandemic times...many of the medical practitioners financially suffered a lot, even in other parts of the world, most of the patients are afraid to see a doctor even if they are not feeling well because of the novel pandemic stigma. So I have to innovate new strategies in the medical field in order to continue sustainable financial gains and I think...our clinic's team succeeded in such strategies Edwin, if time will come for me to earn renumeration virtually as an affiliate marketer...then it would be an added bonus.
      Good luck! More success at WA!

      You have helped so many people Edwin, It's now your turn to help yourself, gain some traction and earn some decent money with your website!

      I decided long ago that the work it requires to remain an ambassador would definitely impact the revenue part of my website. I tend to at least stay in the top 200. That is good enough for me at the moment.

      Good luck and don't hesitate to reach out if you need anything, my friend!

      Hi Denis,

      I embraced the role of Ambassador with my eyes wide open. The consequences were clear. Sometimes the desire to stay in that role overtook the main purpose of being a member of WA.

      The closer I approached 365 days I decided to go for it and then to back off. That’s what I’m doing now.

      Your offer of support is fantastic. When necessary I’ll reach out to you. Thanks so much.

      I wish you all the success in the world.

      Edwin

      Thanks for your vote of confidence Twack. Exciting times lay ahead.

      When I embraced the role of Ambassador it had to be all in. Now my mind will be free to learn the skills I sorely need to maximize my websites earning potential.

      I wish you much success in your pursuits too.
