Wealthy Affiliate Ripped Me Off! (Not Really)

When I was a kid, there used to be a show called Soapbox on one of the independent television stations here in St. Louis. More of a segment than an actual show, it gave anybody that paid the station fee two minutes to get on the air and talk about any issue they wanted to. So every morning, right before the Lone Ranger would come on, I listened to people complain about everything from the local government, some place of business, pollution, or whatever public figure they were mad at that day.

7 Things You Can Stop Doing That Will Get You Closer To a Million Dollars

I recently told you that I was a door-to-door salesman. After 5 years of knocking on doors, I became the personal assistant to the owner of the company. Basically I ran the company. It was my job to book the hotel rooms, to get the vehicles gassed up every morning and schedule their routine maintenance. I kept the books and I would have to pack up his hotel room, leave the night before the rest of the crew did, drive to the next destination, and unpack his things into his new hotel room...al

The Secret To Selling Anything

There is a very good possibility that you and I have met before. When I was 19, I used to sell magazines door-to-door. I traveled all over the United States, walking up and down neighborhoods, spending the day talking to people and getting doors slammed in my face. And I used to average $3,000 a week!

Results Are Not Typical

Remember when you would see an ad for some diet pill or diet plan and they would make all these claims about how fast you could lose weight with it and also have dozens of "testiphonyals" from people who used the product before they went to bed and when they woke up, lost half their body weight? You would be bombarded with all these claims and at the bottom of screen, in itty-bitty letters you would find these words: Results Not Typical Those three words used to protect companies from getting s

Duplicate Content vs Syndication

I have an issue with Wealthy Affiliate. Nothing really serious and in no way am I bad-mouthing this awesome community. But I recently went through an experience with the administrators that I want to share with everyone to keep them from making the same mistake I did.
