Thank you so much Kyle. That means a lot to hear, especially from someone who truly understands the heartbeat of this community. 🙏

That trust-building through everyday conversation (not selling, but supporting) is where the real magic happens. You said it perfectly: help people do what they already dream of doing, and they’ll move forward because they want to.

Grateful to be learning from this space ... and from you.

Thanks so much Keith! 😊
I’m thrilled you’re considering it.

If you let me know which part of the approach resonates most...whether it’s the content framework, the nurturing sequence, or the engagement tactics...I can share specific tips or even a quick checklist to help you get started.

Here’s to putting ideas into action! 🚀

Hello again Fleeky,

The nurturing part is what resonated most but putting the idea into action would also take into consideration the content framework, the nurturing sequence, and engagement tactics. I would appreciate your help.

Keith

Hello again Keith .

So glad the nurturing piece resonated. 💛
You’re absolutely right... intention alone isn’t enough. We need a content framework, a sequence, and ways to gently engage.

Here’s the twist from my own journey:
I have over 1,000 referrals… and most of them are dormant. Why?
Because they found me through poetry. Many may have thought WA was a creative writing space ... not realizing it was more about building businesses.

So I’ve learned that pushing doesn’t work. The ones who stay, stay for me ... not for what I sell (if I do 😏). Also poetry is not a MMO niche, nor SEO star...

That’s why I focus on slow trust-building: story-based content, soft sequences, and open-ended invitations.

I’d love to help you shape your nurturing strategy in a way that aligns with your voice. Shall we start with your message flow or look at content themes?
Fleeky 🦅

😄 Haha ... I hear you, Hein! I love the intent behind the courtship analogy ... slow trust-building, no pressure.
But for me, nurturing in the referral space feels a bit more like building community than romance. It's about creating value people want to share ... and giving them the tools to do so effortlessly.
Relationships matter, for sure... but I lean more toward creating magnetic content or tools that do the “courting” for you. Curious what’s worked best for you in that arena?

Fleeky 🎶

Yes, but it's still relationship-building. In this case, nurturing = courting, but for a different reason and outcome. You don't want to win their trust and hearts, but rather their trust and money. By the way, I'm a relationship counsellor, too. You want them to fall in love with you professionally, your content, and your products or services, so that they always want to come back for more.

Ok...

That makes it clear...

I can relate to that
Good luck

Thank you Mahlon!
Coming from you means a lot to me... what would you add to that?

Thank you Gail!
What is your strategy?

To be honest, I only have one referral who's been a member now for a few years. I do have a WA affiliate site, but since I had to rebrand and get a new domain name, it's still really in its infancy and therefore so is the traffic!!
I like your ideas though and agree that we need to hold hands rather than push people into the pit!
I think WA has changed such a lot since I joined and therefore there are more people here who want different things and can use different means to achieve their goals. I'll let you know if I get any more referrals but I think you have reminded me to double check on my auto responders... just in case!

Oh Gail, I so feel you on that .

WA has changed a lot, and so have the people in it. Different journeys, different needs!

Funny timing ... I just went through a full strategy refresh myself: rewrote my campaigns, cleaned up funnels… and guess what? The autoresponder doesn’t seem to work properly. 😅

So yes, definitely double-check yours! Sometimes it’s the little things that quietly unplug the whole flow.

Grateful for your honesty ... and cheering for more referrals in your near future!

I think that with the new update, some things have been put on the back burner so to speak. I have lots of articles that I've written that are not showing as Google indexed but I know they are because I check them through search console and analytics. I'm just waiting for the Google to recognise the benefit in the sites and for the traffic now though. I don't think I've done anything wrong (except let my domains lapse which was MAJOR!) so I'm just in the waiting game. Once things pick up, I'll write a blog of what not to do!!! :)

Gail, I so relate to that “waiting game” phase ... it’s like planting seeds and then staring at the soil, wondering when it’ll sprout. 🌱

Sounds like you’ve done most things right ... and honestly, even the lapsed domains teach us (in bold, flashing neon 🤯).

Can’t wait to read your “what not to do” blog ... that’s the gold, truly. Sharing the stumbles is what helps the rest of us fly better....

Fleeky 🎶

Thanks, Fleeky.
