Wealthy Affiliate Has a Great Community but…

Don’t Wait for Permission from Other Members

What works for another member may not work for you. Your Wealthy Affiliate family is not here to give you permission to do anything. We are here to give and get ideas to help each other in order to grow our own original online business goals.

Don’t Let Another Member Steal Your Thunder

You know their profile names and you recognize their profile pics so just stop reading their comments. Let the more experienced “Ambassador” members lead them in the right direction. Don’t entertain toxic conversations within the platform.

Don’t Over-Promise Other Members

Resist the temptation to make other members think you know more than you do. It won’t work in the long run. Members will see through it eventually. It’s better to say you don’t know and then help them find the answer. Find a training link for them and they will respect that. You will probably learn something you’ll need in the future… every time you say you don’t know and help find the answer for someone else!

Don’t Dwell on Problems

There will always be problems and yes, they must be solved. But don’t make the mistake of not being able to move on without a solution. Put it on hold and run it by the community for a few days while you do something else on your website. Some people have given up because of this, when all they really needed to do is move on and come back later

Don’t Assume Perfection

Heaven is perfect. Earthlink’s must settle for Good enough. Your website will get good enough to generate money. Then it will improve, and you will earn even more money. You can get rich, for sure. But your website will ALWAYS need improvements and upgrades; embrace imperfection… the fact that you see them and understand that they exist means you’re growing.
