I broke into the Top 200 today.

There's been a lot of controversy surrounding this ranking system and I know changes are coming.

So while part of me celebrates this accomplishment, part of me wonders if I should be there.

The top ranked people are the ones we look up to as experienced members. They're the ones who know the answers to the questions, or at least where to find them.

I have been putting a lot of effort into my training and learning as much as I can as fast as I can.

I have written over 40,000 words in the less than two months that I've been using Site Content, which is more than 99% of WA members.

So do I deserve to be listed as a Top Creator? Maybe. Maybe not. I've written a lot. But very little is Google ranked as my websites are so new. There's no real measure here to prove that what I have written is actually of quality.

I'm not yet making money from this; I've only been at it for two months. Should I be looked up to? Probably not.

I know I'm on the right track. I know I will be successful and I will make money at this. But I also know I still have a lot of learning and developing to do, which will likely include a lot of mistakes and set backs along the way.

I want to be an Ambassador someday because I believe in this program and I believe that it is going to help me change my life. But if I achieved that rank before achieve success at my actual business of being an affiliate marketer, I would feel as if I was misleading people.

So my feelings are mixed. I will welcome your congratulations but I will also accept criticisms that I shouldn't be there as I know it's not personal and is more a complaint about the system.

I will do my best to be helpful and to deserve the rank that is given to me, but I know that some things only come with time and in many ways I am still very new.
