Hey you guys, and friends,

I am a German retired shipmaster and have spent most of my life at sea and in foreign countries. I had a good life, and now, having been thrown to the old iron, so to speak, I miss it.

Years ago I decided to become a millionair, working online as an affiliate. At first I tried clickbank. Thereafter I joined many programs, which seemed to be very promissing. Actually, to make money on the internet is easy, so they say. Take a website, or a few, create traffic, and within no time your bank account will overflow with money. Sounds good, doesn't it? But how to create traffic? That's also easy. You have to join several Traffic exchanges. Then you start surfing at a rate 2 : 1 , that means you have to watch two websites , and in exchange they will show your website one time. If you don't like to spend hours infront of your PC, you can buy credits, and your website will be shown automatically as long as you have credit.

The drawback is, that the people who see your website want the same thing like you. They want to sell something, but they don't want to buy anything from you.That means, traffic exchanges are useless.

Nevermind. So I joined a few safelists. ehere you have to have two e-mail addresses. One to register, and one where the other members of that safelist can send their offers to you.. This e-mail will be overfowing with messages, and there is no way to open them all. But with safelists you have the same problem as you have with traffic exchanges. These people want to sell you something. They don't want to buy. But I got fetup receiving hundreds of messages every day aniway.

So I bought e-mail boosters, and now I was able to send messages to virtually millions of people with a click of my mouse. Great! I told these people that the product I offer is a MUST HAVE. Why these people never responded I really don't know.

However, what every intrepreneur knows: "the money is in the list". You have to have an e-mail list, and an autoresponder. Alright. So I tried to get an e-mail list and bought an autoresponder. Now I was very well equipped. I wrote a bunch of follow up e-mails and set to work. But I was not satisfied with only that. I wrote articl3es in newspapers and magacines. I found keywords at Google and launched a PPC campain. Unfortunately nothing worked.

Finally I realised that all this work is not worth it, because I had spent a lot of effort, time and money, without having earned a dime.But why work when you have the opportunity to make thousands of $ daily guarranteed, by using a Binary Robot? The only thing I had to do, was to open an account and to come up with 250 $. That is what I did. Once I had made my payment, and had eccess to my robot, I switched it on automatic, bacause the robot was working for me 24 hours per day and was supposed to earn money whilst I was sleeping. After four days my robot had managed to spend all my money, but I recfeived a phonecall from my broker. He was very sorry that I had lost my money, but offered to work for me as my personal coach, under the condition that I would invest another 1000 $ which I refused.

Now I became a member of Wealthy Affiliate.

Why? Because I want to become wealty, what else? No, the real reason is, that I need a guidline.I know, the internet is a goldmine. The gold is there, you only have to learn how to dig it up. I hope to learn exactly this wit WA and my impression so far is very good. Patience was never my strong side, and I work hard in order to speed up the proceedings, However, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I appreciate the help I receive from other members. However, I receive so many messenges, about the activities of others, about who is following me, and who left a "like" on my comments, that it is impossible for me to respond to all of them, and I take this opportunity to appologize, because of it.

I choose Wellness as my niche, because Wellness includes Health and Fittness. There are thausands of articles and products you can offer and sell under the term of Wellness. The sky is the limit. I am far from being an expert on wellness, but you can go to the internet and read a review of the item you are offering. Thereafter you know at least what you are talking about.

I wish all of you full success in whatever you want to achieve.

Yes you have so many online ups and downs but your strong persistent will is your greatest asset that will guarantee you success

Thanks for sharing your experience here. Feel sorry that you have to go through all those unpleasant experiences.

I am fortunate to have found Wealthy Affiliate and never regretted. Have to admit that I have not gained much success yet but this is entirely on me for not being consistent as I have other commitments too.

The learnings here are great and there is always something new around the block. Let's learn together and build our successful online business.

All the BEST!

Hi!
Your chosen niche has a wealth of information and in that you should be able to produce quality content and items to offer. I think as well traveled as you are, with the things you've witnessed may be an interesting idea for another site or ebook. My godson is a sailor and while he's only a been at 7 years, the stories he tells of the places he's been captivate those listening to him.!

Wow helldale, I can't imagine you not capitalizing on your life experiences in some way, say an eBook. You must be a walking encyclopedia of knowledge you can share. I've been thru some of the same trials as you but that was before mentors like the many at WA were around. Stick to it, I know you have the smarts and grit. Best of Luck!

Thank you very much for your comment.

Hi Mamahuhu:

Thank you for sharing your story!

Thank you for the fantastic post. You made my day. I was smiling while reading your post. Yes... building an online business - it is a process. How many people succeed? 5% or 10%. Definitely, not more. So, we all try... we learn, we explore... this is an excellent opportunity. Regarding becoming a millionaire - not sure. Sorry to disappoint you.

Thank you very much for your comment.

Thanks for sharing your experiences. it is so easy to get caught up in some of those overnight success offers. I believe here at WA we are on the right track, it may not happen overnight but with persistence it will happen.

Thank you very much for your comment.
