Hi Cory,
Thanks for the follow and I will be doing the same. That's awesome about your site ranking in Google. That's very encouraging and I hope to follow you on that path. You're absolutely right about meeting some wonderful people here on WA. It's like no other opportunity I've ever been involved in.

I agree with you - "Full steam ahead in 2019"
All the best to you and your business!
Kevin

Hi nice to meet you. I'm similar in that I tried many programs in the past and probably spent thousands with no real success. I've made some money on a few of my blogs, but not consistently. WA is the best I've ever found. The training is excellent and so much support. Wishing you the very best ☺

Hi Encourager,

finally I found the place where I can find my followers :-)
Sorry for being late - very busy days and night at the moment! :-)

Just wanted to say thank you being my follower and wish you a nice day/night :-)

Best Regards from Austria,
Old George

Hi Cory,
Nice to meet you! Welcome to WA. it sounds like you have been around the internet a bit, so you are likely already up to speed. Thank you for adding me to your tribe, I added you to mine. If I can help you with anything, just give a shout out.
All the best for success!
Chas

Hi There…
Thanks so much for following me… I’m new to the internet marketing concept… and it sounds like a winner.
I am particularly interested in the “community concept” which allows us to interact with and teach each other.
Good vibes there.
I am recently retired from a 30 year career in the real estate industry and am seeking a new money making position in the 21st century.
I think this is probably what I’m looking for…
I spent my first 20 years growing up in Los Angeles… My next 20 years rearing my family in San Francisco…and my last 20 years
appraising property in Portland, Oregon. Yeah… I seem to keep moving north.
Any info that you can provide to a Newbie will be greatly appreciated.
Please stay in touch and be certain that I will value your opinion.
Luv Ya..Chris

Hi Corey,

Have a blessed day.
John-Peter

Greetings CHaasnoot1,

Thanks for reaching out to me. Looks like you are doing well with your Accomplishments in the WA community. Reading your bio, it shows that you have a great background to do well in this kind of business. That's great! I wish you great success in realizing your dreams and goals. I'm gradually working through the OEC coursework.

All the best,

Hi Cory, nice to hear from you. I look forward to getting to know you my new WA friend. Sorry about the very long delay in responding but I am a bit slow at the moment. Trying to do too many things at once.

I did take a look at your generator site. If you had mention micro hydro I would have left a comment! My partner worked with a company, Rainbow Power, in northern New South Wales. They handled hydro power, solar power, wind power and generators and the add ons.

He still works with friends and their solar/wind combinations on boats.

Keep working hard, having fun and don’t forget to ask questions.

If I can’t help I might be able to point you in the right direction.

Now let us keep in touch.

Ciao
Helen

Thank you for reaching out to me, I’m very new to Internet Marketing and I’m looking forward to working with you and all my newfound friends at WA.

Good day to you, Cory. My name is Ken and I welcome you to WA and thank you for the follow. I'm following you back.
I had a desire to become debt-free by engaging with customers online after reading Robert Allen's book "Multiple Streams of Online Income." I thought hmmm if he says anyone can do this, why not me?
After finding nothing as far as income, I discovered the Wealthy Affiliate, and joined in 2014. I have been here ever since, and I have no plans on ever leaving. I continue to learn new things as the Internet is ever changing.
I look forward to working with you and wish you a much brighter future in your online journey.
Ken

Hi Cory and thank you for following. I am of course delighted to follow you in return.

Hi Thanks for connecting and following me, I have had my fingers burned a little in the past, but believe that WA is the right path to follow, so your journey now begins and I hope to read more about you and your success with WA in the future.Following you back. Best wishes Paul

Cory,

I can relate, I spent a lot of money back in the day developing an online following for my businesses and back then it took as much time doing the constant updating and SEO as it did to run my company. Hopefully this combines the two at least to the degree that you have the time to do the other important tasks like research and strategizing. Welcome!

Joe

Hello, Cory and welcome to WA. Big thanks for the follow and I will do the same.

Your definitely in the right place. A lot of things have become easier but the hard work still has to be done. But, it sounds like you are up to the challenge so, all the best as you continue this journey and I look forward to connecting form time to time. Untill then,

Keep Moving Forward,
Wayne

I am taking a break for a month until the 2nd of January 2019

Hi Cory, welcome to WA and many thanks for following me.
You will quickly find out that you have come to the best place to learn and get back into affiliate marketing.
I’ve only been here for 2 months now and I can’t believe how much I’ve learnt from all the great training and help from all the wonderful people here in this community.
I wish you all the best with your future online business.
Kind regards Rob

Hi, Cory.

Thanks for following me and joining my network. I've returned the compliment and followed you back.

Welcome to Wealthy Affiliate. WA is a great community. There is so much to learn. I am here most days. I learn something every day.

I've been a Premium member of Wealthy Affiliate over 18 months now, and I don't regret one day!

Keep moving ahead. However your day may be, take a little step forward. Some days you'll make significant strikes, other days you will not, but do something every day, however small in building your business.

You will read many stories of WA members succeeding with their online goals. Some have achieved this in a few months, for others, it has taken a couple of years. The common theme for those that have reached their goals is taking action. Everyone who has succeeded has taken small steps every day. Do something, however tiny, every day, and you will reach your goal.

Pace yourself and enjoy your journey.

Best wishes,
Paul.
Be Happy!

Hi Cory,

Thank you for the follow
I follow you too.

Wealthy Affiliate is the best online platform of itself.
I have started to believe that after like 3 moths of being here
(I tend to double-check things, triple-check things, before I start to believe in something :) )

And WA is the Best.

Lots of success
Mike

Thanks for the follow! Followed you right back, Corey! :)

I understand what you mean with starting out and then failing because, you do get discouraged with the scams around, just after your money.

Glad you found WA, like I have! Good luck with the training and hope to see your success stories soon.. :)

Hellos Cory

Welcome to the WA Platform and community

Appreciate you adding me to your platform will do the same

I have faith your 2nd go around will be much more to your liking

btw

Never get yourself stuck in the mud, always reach out for help if you are in need

Much success going forward

Cheers

Thanks for following me.
You are right to give it a try. This a platform
that will allow us to move forward and learn faster
than if we did it alone.
I wish you a great success and to reach your goals.

Great journey on your success road!

Hi Cory and welcome to the Community. I had a chuckle reading your profil bio as it states, "a lot has changed online since late 90's and early 2000's . . . ". You are so spot on. Although probably more older than you, I still cannot get over on how it has changed quite dramatically from the 1980's to now let alone your era.

Go through the training here on WA and at least it will give you an opportunity to open the door and other avenues to venture into. The training is great and you will not know yourself once one part of the training is completed. Also, remember to ask if and when you have any questions :)

Hello there Cory and Welcome!
Thank you for the follow, I am doing the same in return. The internet has changed quite a bit since the 90's. This place is definitely full of wonderful people and amazing knowledge. Best wishes to you and your future my friend.

Thanks again!

Jerrick S.

HI Cory thanks for the follow, my experience in my short time is this what I have been looking for, the training is first class, and is broken down in simple steps and if you still dont get it , you can ask for help and the response to your query will be quick.

Welcome to WA Cory. This is a fabulous community. Here you can learn a lot. That too at your own pace.

First of all you should go and finish your training. Don't rush things. Please proceed at a rate at which you feel comfortable. Your website will automatically get created. Don't hesitate to let me know if you feel I can be of any help to you.

Thank you CHaasnoot1 for the follow. I am following you back.
Great to "see you back". I was around when the internet went live back in 91 or so. Great change from word and spreadsheets for me. It has come a long way for everyone. Look forward to hearing of your wins.

WA. It’s participation and persistence to get there and also takes a lot of creative thought to process...
Yes, thank you for following. And I am hungry to get started.
I am finding so much information for goals to success. This is surely a great opportunity with just what I need to develop independence and dreams.
Yes, www is a big world brought together with WA...
I’m just following my heart... if you’re into books, this will work out. Giving it time to sink in.

Truly grateful

Thanks for adding me to your network. Do yourself a favor and hang in for the long run here at Wealthy Affiliate.

Hi Cory
Thanks for the follow.
Would I have been burned looking to the internet for a living in the nineties? Yes, I think so.
I'm glad I am here surrounded by all this amazing expertise, learning and growing, because of WA and the experiences and knowledge others share so generously.
Best Wishes
Michele

Cory, you have made a great move buddy. You are so right. Businesses are changing. Big names businesses are closing, I think you know why--AMAZON.

If people don't see it I think they're blind. You Cory are sitting on the new way of doing business. Like the "Industial Revolution" and the "Computer Revolution" Steve Jobs had a lot to do with it.

THIS IS THE NEW REVOLUTION but this time anybody can make it big....y'know like you and me Cory.

Am I being off my rockers. I don't believe so, just my opinion.

You are in a good place, and I pray you make this choice profitable, too!

Thanks for the follow, I will follow you too!

Mahalo and Aloha,


Frank

HHI and welcome to the Wealthy Affiliate platform. You will not find a better education and training site on the internet anywhere. This is the best and the walk through videos that Kyle presents are both clear and concise. There is also a Live Webinar every Friday night (canadian time) run by our official trainer in Jay Neill (rank 3) and there are questions and answer that come in from those of us on the webinar and Jay answer questions at the end of the 1 hour session. If you cannot make the webinar there is always a copy up on the site within a few hours of the live webinar and you will find that if you go to Live Events on the left hand side of this page you can click on that and it will tell you what is coming up and you should also be able to review what has already been. If there is anything I can help you with please feel free to contact me and I will do my best to assist you to achieve your goals
Carol from Australia

Hi there CHaasnoot1. I wanted to take a moment to congratulate you on your decision to upgrade to premium membership with WA. I did so myself about a month ago and I can truly say that I have no regrets. I am sure that you will feel the same as me as you get further into the training modules. The support you will get through WA is totally amazing. If you ever have any questions or problems that need to be addressed, all you have to do is reach out. Someone will be more than willing to help you. There is much information to learn but just know that if someone like me can do this at my age(64), you can do this too! I was a newbie with no experience at all. Now I have a website up and running and has been ranked by Google! I wish you the best of success with WA!

Thank you Cory for the follow and welcome to WA.

As a Premium Member you have access to all current and future training tutorials. But guess what? You also have the ability to make money with your WA blog. How?

Premium members blog here at WA for various reasons. These WA blogs get indexed and ranked within Google, meaning those outside of WA can read them too.

This is of great benefit to you because it gives you the opportunity to make some money. I explain at the link below how much you can earn by just writing a WA blog. How to Make Money with your WA Blog

Hello Cory,

Glad to see you survived your health issues, are you in the clear now or are you receiving residual medical attention because of the issues? Also things have changed drastically over the last decade alone for online marketers, and I think you are going to see it will continue to change until the government has better control over it (which has its pros and cons-LOL).

I’d like to be one of the many members here at WA to congratulate you, on making what I believe to be an excellent choice toward a sustainable profitable website for securing your financial freedom in the near future, and that was upgrading to premium here on the WA platform.

I hope your stay here is long and very lucrative. I believe in leading by example although my back ground is not affiliate marketing directly, I have been involved in organic SEO marketing (that’s what is taught here) for over 15 years. So, if you ever need any additional help please don’t hesitate to ask I will be more than happy to answer any questions through PM’s that you may have.

I think you are going to see there is plenty of training on this platform rest assured it can seem overwhelming at times, but just work at your own pace, and go through it one step at a time: you’ll do just fine. Here are some locations that you can find addition training besides the two training modules:

1. Straight above in the black WA tool bar (the gray box just right of the WA icon) is a “Search Box” that has a cornucopia of information anything A-Z about online entrepreneurship, website design, and other aspects relevant to your new online business. You can find all that information and so much more hidden in that gem.

2. “Live Events” tab on the left – here you will find Jay’s weekly Webinar advanced training they are held on Friday evening 8 pm US Pacific Standard Time is when the live events happens or you can wait about 12 hours then (under the same tab) the recorded version will be available to watch.

3. “Live Chat” tab on the left side - if you cannot find your answer in any of the platform’s resources you can always ask in the member’s 24/7 “Live Chat” (please remember these members just like you).

4. “Help Center” - Issues with billing problems or membership inquiries should be addressed under this tab. This is where you will submit any ticket for site support also. Here you will also locate your premium coaches Carson, Kyle, and your referral affiliate.


WA is a “NO SPAM ZONE”, they consider posting your Domain name/URL/Social Media links/links to your own blogs/logo/company name without being asked to do so, as “self-promoting or spam” here, and this action is not allowed anywhere on the platform. Here is a link the Kyle’s posted copy of the WA rules: Spam is a NO NO! There are a couple of spots that you are allowed to openly post your Domain name or URL (but no logo’s or company names are to be posted anywhere on this site) on the lower far right of your profile page there is a spot just for them (not in the profile introduction itself) you can also post your social media links there on the lower right area as well, and then for your URLs there are 2 platforms which can be found by clicking the websites tab on the WA home page and they are site feedback, and site comment.

What most members do is put all there personal links in the lower right hand corner of their profile page then when you ask someone to look at your site they will know right where to go to find the link as long as you are both following each other.

Once again Welcome to this wonderful community!

Affiliate marketing is our priority: where content is KING and consistency is the KEY to your SUCCESS

If you’re looking for some more advice for the newer members, I recommend you check out my blog about golden eggs the link is located on my profile page. I think you'll find it to offer a wise list of things to concentrate on in your journey toward your success.

Helping you, achieve your success,

Calvin

Hello and welcome to WA Premium!! You will not regret your decision to go Premium!! The information available here is never ending!! And the training is incredible, and you won’t find anything like it, anywhere else!! Take it ALL in!!

Follow the training! I cannot stress this enough. Do not skip around. Do the lessons in the order in which they are. As well as the tasks that follow each of those lessons. I often jumped ahead in training, on my own, to only later really regret it. Take my word for it, it’s not worth it.

Go at your pace. Slow and steady is my new rule. You'll find you can't wait to learn more in the following days. You’ll want to learn more!! It ignites a new passion within you. It did me! Gave me back my purpose for living! There were a few lessons that I had to watch twice. If that's what you have to do, do it!

And soon you will have yourself an awesome website. Amazing direction, and the tools that you need to succeed in whatever it is you want to do!

You CAN do this!!

Be awesome! Be amazing!! And be successful!!!
Laura

Welcome to premium, this is such a wise move on your part.

1) you have just taken a huge step towards securing the future you want.
2) There is no better training available 
3) The community here ROCKS, but you already know that 
4) It shows just how serious you are about making a change The Prize Keep up the great work, so glad you found WA
