You can send me a message on what you use…Im just curious why you're bothering with doing WA if you're already as successful as your profile?
A bit jaded and curious

What a great question!

First, your choice of words is fascinating to me "why you're 'bothering' with doing WA." It makes it sound like working the WA program is like eating vegetables that have been sitting on a cold plate for hours, lol. For the record, I GREATLY enjoy everything I do online, especially when it makes me money.

My natural curiosity over my lifetime has led me down many paths of income generation. I am about to turn 60 and "retire" to our home in China. Once I settle in, I expect that I will spend most of my time doing affiliate income generation, unlike right now, where most of my time is spent on e-commerce and working with my consulting clients.

I've created thousands of websites over the years and was fortunate to be in the Adsense game in 2004-2006, earning six-figure checks from Google. I'll never forget the first time we broke $100k in a month. One of my friends who I was talking to about the opportunity told me, "They'll never pay you," meaning Google, and of course, they did and did and did until they woke up one day and decided I didn't need 2.5 million pages indexed on Google, lol.

I've been involved with affiliate programs in the past and have even run my own where Clickbank was an actual affiliate of mine, and we launched an $11 million program through their platform. A month later, they gave me a Tesla. So, I know the power of affiliate marketing, but it needs to be done in a "peaceful" way, or I am not interested.

Peaceful to me means I can spend my time generating content instead of working with clients. Peaceful means I can create a business that will grow with projectable results and income.

WA is a cog in that plan for me.

First, the number of folks who want to make money online pretty much don't know anything, especially the fundamentals. That's where WA comes in. I don't have to write a training program for that level because WA has already done it for me. It's easy for me to promote rather than create a competing program. I feel the same way about some other affiliate programs out there. I was about to join something "similar" for $4,500 and promote it through their affiliate program. Now I can actually "review" and offer both programs, as they both have tons of pros, but for the entry-level pricing. I believe in letting the audience vote, never prejudge.

I also wrote a book called The Amazon Code, where I detail my journey and how I've created over $100 million in revenue online. I can see affiliate income exceeding $2-400,000 per month if done correctly.

I've promoted so many great plugins, pieces of software, services, training programs, etc., in the past, just in my vertical niche of selling on Amazon, and NEVER tried to get an affiliate fee, lol.

Stupid, right?

That all ends right now.

I hope I answered your question and that there is nothing wrong with being jaded. I am as jaded as they come and have so many stories about fraudsters; I might include some reports in the latest podcast I am about to launch.

I am now following you as I very much look forward to seeing your progress and success, and in helping any way I can.

Thank you that was a very insightful answer:) and exactly what I was curious about lol… sorry if I offended … I have no filter and tend to be super blunt… I definitely do not see WA as eating vegetables (although veggies are eaten by what I eat) I just didn’t understand why someone with the level of success you described would require training … I always forget that what seems like a lot to me is peanuts to others
Cheers

LOL - Please know that I spend A LOT ON TRAINING every year. I also get something out of each and every training I go through. I feel we can never stop learning. I have learned things from the WA training, but because I've done most of these things, what I am learning might be different from someone going through the training the first time.

It's no different and reading a book over and over, or watching a movie several times and "seeing" things you didn't see the first time.

So, the value WA brings to me is severalfold, first, the hosting is wonderful (although I do miss the cPanel and/or WHM panel, as I am a control freak), but other than that, the website portion is super, super solid.

I also love the focus on organic traffic. I get traffic all the time from content I've built many years ago, especially my older podcasts. Same with YT videos, however, blogging/creating articles/training has always been my favorite.

Unless you get into paid traffic, the road is long, but at the same time, if someone is willing to put the time in and have patience, what they are building here is very, very remarkable, and long term, but it has to be done the right way.

Hi Toddsnively, I am a beginner and am facinated and in admiration for what you do and have achieved.
If I may ask you one question please.....
Your last paragraph in your reply to ElaineUnruh was:
Unless you get into paid traffic, the road is long, but at the same time, if someone is willing to put the time in and have patience, what they are building here is very, very remarkable, and long term, but it has to be done the right way.
Can you please explain what you mean by "but it has to be done the right way".
Thanks in anticipation,
Maurice

Well, thank you so much for your kind words!

In short, you are doing it the right way when you follow the WA program. It's about content creation, SEO, and providing Google want it wants, by avoiding black hat shortcuts.

I know many wrong ways to get ranked high for most keywords but those rankings are short-lived.

It takes time, dedication, persistence, resilience, and commitment to create an income stream using websites, articles, videos, and affiliate marketing. This is why I tell people who haven't started yet, to start now. You're just leaving money on the table by waiting.

Here it is, almost 8 pm on a Saturday night and I've spent the last three hours building a landing page and all that goes with that, for a paid campaign I am about to launch, promoting WA. I have a blast doing that kind of stuff (and I am a nerd, so the tech is fun) and the real payoff is the results, good or bad. I am going to improve and go again either way.

Best to you!

Todd

Thank you Todd, so at least I seem to be in the right place.
