Why I Became a Premium Member

Before I became a premium member at Wealthy Affiliate I did research. Research is something I am used to doing. That is all I did working for the State of Oregon. I was a Senior Fiscal Analyst. It was my job to know the answers. I had to do the research. So when I read about starting a business online and came across other websites that provided affiliate marketing I researched it to see if it was a scam. I wanted to know if I could make money. I've worked forty years leaving my home to work in a stuffy building with people who create drama. I didn't need that anymore. So I did the research.
I found out that affiliate marketing is not a scam and it is not a "Get Rich Quick" scheme. Those who are wealthy have worked hard and long to get where they are. Affiliate marketing is a way of owning a business. A real business. It takes time, just like a traditional business. I know because I did the research.
I came to WA because they have all the resources I need. I looked at other companies that provide almost the same service. for $2,000+ start up fees and almost $100 per month. Who has that kind of money? It would take months to earn the money to make a profit.
This is where I want to start my online business. I have the time and the monthly fee is isn't much. I am glad I did the research and I am glad I found this site.
