Seriously! Why Would Someone Stay A Premium Member At Wealthy Affiliate for 6 Years?!?!
I was adding one of the domains I use for tracking purposes to my Wealthy Affiliate hosting and something just didn't seem right. I felt foolish seeing how long I've been with Wealthy Affiliate and how many blog posts I've written (I've been a Premium Member since August 2013.)
So…. that ends today! Viva la Freddy O's gonna be more active.
So here we go...
I know I've never been a blogging type of guy, I like funnels, spit testing, traffic, and Absolutely love coaching motivated individuals who genuinely want to better their situation. I have been in the membership arena for about 6 years now. What I mean by that is I have been the coach in the back office of some very successful membership sites. After learning the good, the bad and the downright ugly parts of this Industry I finally launched my own product 2 months ago and so far so good!
Why am I telling you this?
Here's why…
I have been doing this online thing full time since 2012 and it has truly opened up a lot of doors for me, but one thing that irritates the heck out of me is a large portion of these companies lack longevity. They charge an arm and a leg for something and then either fold, stop putting value out there, or just disappear.
Think about it…
🙄Empower Network
😒Mobe
🤯Digital Altitude
These are just a few that come to mind, but the list goes on and on and on.
I've coached so many people that were so invested into these companies...and lost a ton
I'm not saying they were terrible products as far as training but did they truly have the best interest of their customers in mind? Maybe they did, but a company usually goes under because of mismanagement, lack of real customer-driven vision, greed, etc.
My point is, why start something and let it fall apart? Usually, the owner gets out with little or no issues, the customers take the biggest hit in my opinion, and in return, we see so many people get frustrated and fail online.
I was asked by someone via Facebook a question, and I'm not sure he really understood my answer… but I'll put the pic below.
I've come to realize that the true integrity of any business is to be in it for the long haul, and I salute the team at Wealthy Affiliate for their dedication to excellence. Even though I have my own product, I would never be able to in good conscience tell anyone that WA is not worth it, because man oh man, they put out some severe value for what they charge. Also, I like it and will always be a member. And if you actually apply what you learn the sky is the limit.
So, the point of the story is this...
You know when you have people that genuinely care about you when they deliver on their promise, and for the past 6 years, WA has done that.
If you're on the fence about upgrading to Premium at Wealthy Affiliate because the word SCAM is used throughout the industry...Just upgrade, they are the real deal.
Soooooo, until next time (sooner than later),

I love your positivity Fred. Others need to hear from long term members now and then, it helps the rest of us realise what a great place WA is. Jim
Thanks Fred, I find I need regular doses of stuff like this to keep me motivated.
Just followed you also.
Great post!
Thank you for sharing this, after a year of being a premium member I and still invested.
I still believe in the company and I still believe I will reach my goals and succeed.
Some people think that when the course is cheap, the quality is not there. Yesterday, I was checking a course about affiliate marketing, it was $700. And just by reading the summary, I realize that I have got all of that here at WA.
So, yeah! WA is the real thing!
Thanks

Great to see you blogging here, Fred! It's so hard to figure out who's the real deal out there.
I feel bad for people who are really looking for something that can help them, only to buy into these get-rich-quick schemes and waste their time and money.
(UGH, I've been there too, so I get it.)
I really, really enjoy pointing people to courses and platforms with people who have integrity behind them. I love showing people Wealthy Affiliate because I know Kyle and Carson's intentions are good.
But I don't just promote WA. I'll promote any product or course that I feel can truly help someone succeed. Which is why I gladly promote your product too! :)
There's a lot of crap out there whose owners are just looking to make a quick buck off of some poor saps. But thankfully there's also great stuff out there too!
Happy 6 years! Hope to see you here more.
