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! :)
