Far Away From Las Vegas

When I started as a newbie in Wealthy Affiliate in February 2020 learning affiliate marketing, my biggest goal was to be able to sell 300 WA Upgrades so I could Go to Las Vegas to meet up with the Wealthy Affiliate Annual Event.

Fast forward to today - I am not an inch closer to get to Vegas.

I failed massively in promoting Wealthy Affiliate even if I have succeeded in promoting other affiliate partners.

The truth is that I have not even got one upgrade even if I have followed the blueprint.

And I do not understand why and what I am doing wrong.

Why?

I have asked myself many times why it is so hard to make people understand how much value they get by becoming a Wealthy Affiliate member.

Why are none of my many referrals upgrading to premium membership?

Why have I managed to earn more than 2K+ with other affiliate partners but fail to succeed with WA?

Why should I still be here when I have made just a few bucks here?

What To do to get to Las Vegas?

Should I give up and just stop promoting Wealthy Affiliate?

Or should I keep going?

Yes, I have asked myself this question many times.

The thing is that Wealthy Affiliate have taught me so much and one of the things I learned

was to have a long term mindset.

I am promoting Wealthy affiliate all over and from many angles:

On my website

Via email to my list

On my WA blog

On social Media

Helping others

Motivating others

Inspiring others

Documenting my own journey.

Still nothing but referrals that never start as a member.

Is it my messaging ? or is it the offer? or the price? or is it the people who join?

I need to figure this out so I can fulfill my dream goal.

When Will I get to Las Vegas?

I have no Idea when I will get there, but it is my goal to be able to meet up with those who already did it.

Now is the time to press on the pedal and get the ball rolling so I can get to the next event.

Who will take me to Las Vegas?


The only one who is responsible for getting me to Las Vegas is myself.

No one else.

How will I get to Las Vegas?

I need to work on me and how to promote Wealthy Affiliate better.

I need a new and better strategy if I am going to get there, because my WA strategy have

not worked very well so far.

Learning from people who already did it before me.

Go through the training again and follow the blueprint.

And hopefully the new updates in Wealthy Affiliate will be a gamechanger too.

There are a lot of changes that we are making that are making it easier than ever to promote WA, also, easier than ever to achieve Vegas status in 2023. What I do suggest is that you map out a plan NOW as to how you are going to make Vegas in the year ahead, and the steps that you are going to need to take to get there.

It is less than 1 sale per day, 1 person in all of the world that wants do something that they love and build a business in the process. That is basically everyone, it is just a matter of connecting with people through your website, through your traffic, and through your helpful content.

Also, on another note with the improved commissions and the higher priced P+ yearly (which is actually the best deal), paid advertising is now a viable option for everyone. I know Google Ads and Microsoft Ads both offer free advertising when someone creates a new account, you spend $300 and they give you an additional $600. That is enough to get any campaign rolling.

And as always, you have help here every step of the way if you need to sound board your ideas for building out a significant campaign, or anything at all. :)

Let's get you and some new fresh faces down in Vegas next year. I am on a mission to help you get there!

I’m mapping out a plan.

Wondering if I should start with a clean slate, (different website) or just pivot to the PPC method and optimize my messaging.

Thanks a lot Kyle!
Yes I made a plan and steps from the start, but it did not work as planned :)

So Yes I need a new and better plan for 2023 for WA

I have only been doing organic marketing and not paid marketing.

I did set up some campaigns when going through the PPC training, but I never run them.

But I might make some new and do that in 2023.

Would be great to get help with campaigns

Hilde, first of all, I must applaud you for this post because most people (nearly 100%) are afraid to publish a post just like this.

A few years ago now it was much easier to get referrals never mind Vegas so things have changed on a massive scale.

The 400 posts which so many talked about doesn't exist anymore.

I hear the mention of PPC advertising but the whole point at WA was to use Google to get free traffic, but now with all the changes that Google is making traffic is disappearing at a massive rate.

I could rant on about this all night but I won't but wish you well.

Mick

Thank you Mick!
Well I am just honest about it while documenting my story on the blog as well.
I know many in here have a different story to tell.
There are many who get a lot of recurring subscribers even if I do not.
My point was really to say that despite this fact I am still here and keep on going.

Hilde just focuses on one promotion only which is WA that's it. YouTube, and many other places, see Brad’s Blog in Why Do People Run from WA? It is about placing value on how it helped you share your story and other people’s success story.

Kyle gave you good-sounding advice. I learned if I promote other kinds of affiliate programs, people will be attracted to that instead. I would have two sites, 1 for promoting WA one program which is WA highlighting all the values, sharing training posts, create a resource page, you can look at Jay’s site, affiliateresources dot org

His site gave me many ideas for 1 promotion of WA only the WA Bootcamp site as some called it that and another site just the affiliate products that you are currently promoting keep that site but a new one for only WA that's it.

I have two sites. One for WA promotion with a resource page like Jay’s. The other is my name brendamz just focused on other affiliate products most are business software and those I use every day. I own them and am an affiliate for them so that's it- keep super simple- 2 sites.

Maybe that will help you stay focused I am not sure if you had a separate site only for one WA promotion.

Also be creative with your keywords I do not follow the bootcamp methods too many are writing the same thing. I chose to be different. I focus on the value of WA.

I do not write about business scams nothing of that or condemn a business targetting them and saying my number one recommendation is WA. Too many sites like that out there that why no one joins they run because too many same websites that rehashes the same information over and over This is how Dale123. I think at Commission Academy did. he is our WA member he promotes WA through that, that was creative and it worked for him. Also Stone Evans with his plug in profit site promotes WA, and 4 other affiliate programs. These guys used their creativity, if they can do it mostly you can.

Be unique in how you promote one site focusing only on WA. Spend a lot of time on this platform learning from the superafilliates. Now with the new plan you can set up new site focusing on just that and if you build trust people will join you. Then you will get to Vegas.

Thank you for your comment Brenda. Appreciate it.

I do not have one site only for WA as my site was initially made with the intention to document my online journey and growth .
I have a mix of Reviews and articles .

I have seen jays page and I agree this is a good way to go to make one page only for WA.

Yes there are many strategies.
I do not write about scams either or talk down on other programs.
I mostly write about my experience.

However I do not only promote WA.

I promote many different offers with different audiences.

WA is my Main offer to new people online who want to build a website, learn seo, contentmarketing and search engine marketing.

Thanks for clarifying what your site does. I have one site like Jays the other with other affiliate products. Its an idea to keep the WA promotion separated because you want new people to focus on how to build a blog business like you said seo and all that so to do that is what I suggest only WA you focus on everything that WA has to help them learn that. I encourage you to think about it. All other super affiliates at WA. I noticed they built one WA promotion only the other for other affiliates program Jays training talks about this. Good to know you write your experiences thats what counts. Its your decision do what you think is best for you. I am encouraging you this because thats the ticket to get to Vegas. Take care!

Hang in there, Hilde! I never have promoted WA fully, but I have gotten a few (likely bots) referrals, but they never upgraded to Premium! Hang in there! You will achieve what you want to. I suspect the dam will break and you will be flooded with referrals!

Keep succeeding!

Jeff

Thank you for your optimistic view Jeffrey! Yes I will hang in here. Do not worry :)
I have already achieved a lot even if I have not got a lot of WA premium members .

You certainly have, Hilde! Everything else is purely a bonus, my friend!

Jeff

WOW! This resonated with ME.

I've not been successful at getting WA members either.

I see the value of WA because I have been "inside" long enough to understand the value. (The trial is not near long enough for a person to really understand the value of WA) In my opinion, "value" is different for different people.

For me the "value" in WA is not all about the training. WHY? Because, like most training, it is complicated for me and hard to comprehend.

For me the "value" is...
- One single place to host multiple websites.
- Hosting of these websites. (I only have 4 websites here)
- The WA community. (even though I really do not know any of you very well)
- The value is "the potential" of recurring income from WA memberships.

I might get to Las Vegas someday too.

I know you were mentioned the values to you here, but I want to make sure that those are not the values that you are "portraying" to the prospective new members that are on your website.

The reason is this...

Those are tangible features, but someone may not know "WHY" they need all of this stuff. So you can say the same thing in two different ways, but it will be interpreted and convert people entirely differently.

BEFORE: One single place to host multiple websites.

AFTER: A single place to managed multiple successful Internet businesses.

So when you are marketing WA, you need to think of the "outcome" that people are after, not their current state. And you cannot assume someones understanding of technology and why they need it, most won't have a clue.

Things like "Great Hosting" means nothing to most. Even "Fast Hosting". Why does fast hosting matter. Because it will lead to you outranking your competition in Google, and you getting droves of traffic to your website. That is the why, and that is the outcome.

So anything that you outline on your website as a "feature", change your framing to what is the outcome that someone would be after and that they would comprehend. That will lead to way more conversions, and people ultimately taking way more action.

Benefits VS Features đź‘Ť

I like this, change the framing instead of just copying what everyone else is doing. Be different is my motto. I am different because I am Deaf so my marketing chooses a different framework. Features, outcomes benefits and what is it in for them the incentives. This I agree will lead to more conversions like you said. Then people wouldn't run like Brad stated in his post.

Exactly Magic Brad! We all value different things and also in different stages on out journey. In the beginning I valued the step by step how to monetize my website training and how to actually do it all. Now there are so many other things I discovered with Wealthy Affiliate that I value. The people in here, The immense knowledge base here and the hosting and for me very valuable Support team always helping out.
