Credit Where Credit is Due.
Shortly after arriving here at WA, it was early December 2015, I was given one of the best pieces of advice I have received since being a member. I got it from Tony Hamilton (thanks again, Tony...btw). It was simply this:
Click on that blue rank button and follow the top 200...a hint for everyone else. :)
It isn't something you can easily do in one sitting, sending out 200 private messages one right after another, so I made a list of the top 200 and I checked them off as I went to keep things straight.
I went back recently to that file folder...after nearly a year, but that list was not to be found. I was specifically looking for it this week, as it dawned on me how fluid the top 200 here at WA really is. I had intended to do a breakdown of the change in the top 200 at my 1 year anniversary...but, I have changed computers along the way (the old one got a little too much moisture and went to smoking profusely before quitting altogether :( ).
Apparently, that file didn't make the transfer...so, instead I will only be able to note the changes in the top 25...but, the story is easily told there as well.
I have to say, at this point, that one of the things that impressed me the most about WA, from the first, was how it was much more than just 2 guys with a brilliant idea...the quality of the Ambassadors, the top 50, the top 100 and top 200 was unbelievable!
This is still true, today.
Before going any further, let me give credit where credit is due...to those who still are, and were at any time over the past year, an Ambassador, top 50, top 100 or top 200...kudos to you! And, thank you for your contribution to the success of WA and all the members you have helped.
And, congratulations to all of you who have joined the ranks of the Ambassadors, the top 50, the top 100 and top 200. You are filling some big shoes and filling them well. Here are some numbers, I do have access to:
Of the 25 Ambassador slots...14 are currently held by different members than when I first signed up a little less than a year ago...remember when you first signed up and you were first ranked?...remember what that number was? Mine was like 256,000 and change!
That’s phenomenal! Eight of these Ambassadors were not even members yet, when I joined! Some of them have achieved this feat in less than 100 days! Somebody needs to get an affiliate link to what these people have for breakfast! lol :)
There are a lot of other similar stories that could be told...if I could just find that file...throughout the rest of the top 200. And, then there are the personal stories about what some members have had to overcome to get where they are today...amazing!
A lot of us use the phrase..."See you at the top!" from time to time, and yet many wonder if there really is room at the top for them...not just here at WA, but out there in the big wide affiliate marketing world.
To this I humbly submit that there is simply no better online business opportunity platform than WA, and the numbers don't lie...there is room at the top...if there is room at the top here at WA (the best), then there is indeed room for everyone at WA in the much larger rankings of affiliate marketing success!
See you at the top! :)

I like your strategy as it makes a lot of sense. One can move faster in life by following and learning from the ones who have succeeded before thee!! Simple and true. Thank you
Hi, Martha!
Hope you are enjoying your first month at WA, as much as I did!
There is a lot to learn and just as much to do: New to WA and Feeling Overwhelmed? Simple as 1, 2, 3! Welcome aboard! You are definitely in the right place, and I'm following you all the way to success!
If I can be of any help, just let me know. :)
Hey, Irv!
Like a good airline, WA is "fully accessible"...and has been from the beginning...I like the idea of working with an opportunity where anyone who has their wits about them can reach the top...that's the way it should be everywhere.
btw...I've always wanted to visit Ireland... here it is a beautiful place...hope you had a great trip! :)
Hi, Chris, I am traveling back to the U.K. next Monday afternoon. I am with family in Ireland. Yes, Ireland is a very beautiful country. Irv.
Thank you, Loes!
Of course, like everyone else, the top is preferable...however, there is a balance between where our time is spent. And how much time we have and what we are good at varies with all of us. No one who has been there in the past or is not yet there should lament, as long as we are giving it our best shot (whatever that requires at the moment).
We talk about doing what we love, what we have a passion for...I for one don't wish to turn my passion into a labor or just another competition...so, when and if it happens...I will enjoy it all the more! :)
Hey JChrisA,
I have been here 2 months and noticed that my rank changed to #50 yesterday. I am not sure exactly what it is that I did to reach the top 50 but my title is "Active Contributor" so I guess it's got to do with how much I interact, blog, etc.
I haven't really paid much attention to what the top 50, 100 and 200 or ambassador rankings mean. From my personal experience, I definitely notice that a lot of people "at the top" are incredibly thoughtful and helpful, so I suppose it strengthens the community like you mentioned above.
I am curious, since you seem to have been around the block; are there any benefits connected with a higher rank? Other than the satisfaction of helping others of course. Thank you for putting together such an awesome and informative post, it is thought provoking.
Thank you for your contribution to the WA community!

Hi, Joy!
You could also consider it training for when you will be helping your own referrals, if you are promoting WA and get sign-ups...after all the more you help someone, the more likely they are to stay and pay.
There is also the issue of everyone else looking out for everyone's referrals...covering each others backs you might say.
Then, there is the issue of what makes WA so valuable in the first place, such that people want to sign up? The community is the biggest reason I can think of.
Hope that helps. :)
