Let's get something clear! WA is NOT a SCAM!

I wasn't going to blog today because I am a little under the weather, but recent activity has inspired me.

I got a PM from someone asking about the legitimacy of WA. No problem, I responded thus:

It is possible to make this a success, but you have to work at it. Just like any job or business, You get out of it what you put into it. Some people start making money in three months, others have been here for years and have not made much money. I am weak in computer skills, so I will be a slow one. It really is all up to you. But I can tell you that this is not a scam and it is the best deal on the internet for a good host site. For the money that you pay, WA really provides A LOT in training and social help and stuff, it really is a great community of truly caring people.

Then I read DonnieK2's blog, this was very well written and I responded to him by agreeing with him whole heartily.

Then I read the angry response by the person that Donny was blogging about...low and behold, it was the same person who PMed me! So, While I was thinking about it, I got a second PM from him.

He thanked me for giving him and honest answer. My response:

You are welcome, don't be so hard on Donny. He was just a loyal WA member who was put off by your direct style. He was right in what he blogged about. I am assuming you are worried that this is a scam. It is not. That is all that I can say, you will have to learn that for yourself.

So, now I feel obligated to get up here and proclaim to all newbies who are questioning WA.

This is not a scam!

You will have to learn that for yourself, but here are some links that might be helpful:
