Thank you for that response! :-) I was curious how many of the top 200 are actually earning enough to pay for their websites and membership here at least.

The reason why I was curious is in the early stages you are asked to provide lots of feedback and interaction with other members. Interaction creates higher rank . First it’s misleading when joining the site because you think that the top 200 are all high earners with lots of experience marketing online and making money.

I’m not saying that the ranking system is bad. I’m just saying that I thought it represented something different. I do like the fact that people are ranked by their helpfulness and spirit within the community.

I guess what I am trying to say is that I see a lot of cheerleading but not a lot of specific success stories. Everybody says they are doing well but nobody says just how well... I guess what I am saying is that I have a choice. I can either spend my time boosting my rank or spend time building my website. I am looking to find a balance between the two.

I have goals. Goals are the key to success. I feel this training is very beneficial and this site is awesome. You get out of it what you put into it. I just wonder if those who are not earning are not working to their full potential, not spending the necessary time, or just may have picked the wrong niche. It’s a very competitive market out there and there are some seriously professional affiliate marketers that are well-established and taking all the good ideas to a higher level than a beginner can reach.

I have a lot of good ideas and a ton of low hanging fruit keywords within my niche and lots of low hanging fruit niches that I can build on later. I just have to learn to monetize and place ads effectively.

Once again, thank you for your comments and feedback. I really appreciate it! :-)

I understand where you are coming from I know that it can be frustrating too at times as well. I know that I was overwhelmed and frustrated too, in the beginning, I am saying this to let you know how it was in the beginning for me.

I was not sure or the ranking process either to someone had to me to follow a lot of people here in WA. Because we can learn a lot from each other. That is why we are such a great community. I am still in the process of working on my site too I still have not started earning anything yet but working on it. I just like to help people out by answering questions that I can and commenting on blogs.

I have only been here 2 months and still waiting to generate an income but like I said still working on that part. I don't know for sure who is generating an income yet or not.

But the ones that I have come across from my network some are earning an income it is small but it is something. Just don't give up continue with it and it will come together. Be persistent, and determined and like I said it will fall into place.

Put those passions into motion and build a website that is out of this world. Then you will start generating an income. I am sorry this is so long but I wanted to covered everything you had mention.

You are welcome. I hope this helps and if you have any questions I will be glad to help you out the best I can.
