I'm a naturally hesitant person whom always plays it safe.
Little over a month ago I visited the wealthy affiliate site and signed up for the free membership after reading about WA online. With no intention of becoming a premium but mostly having a look around. The site had none of the tell tale signs of being a scam and for the first time since I started looking for ways to make money online I felt comfortable investing in the opportunity I was offered.
After completing course 1 in about 4 days is spent the next 2 considering going over to premium. I was considering things like, would I be able to wright decent content as English is a second language or would I be able to market to a foreign consumer as I'm South African and Affiliate programs are limited here.

I decided to trow caution to the wind and give it a go and I have enjoyed every moment of it. It has been about 1 month and I have a indexed site that is coming together nicely. (I plan on starting my second site soon) It's very exciting and with the straight forward training people like myself with zero experience have the opportunity to join this promising market. 5 stars to the amazing people of the WA affiliate community who are always willing to help when I got stuck.

Obviously I have not made any money yet as Kyle has explained in his very transparent training this takes time. At this stage it is not even really about the money for me. I am challenging myself to see if I can build a traffic producing site and having a blast doing it. I am discovering areas of my creativity I didn't even know excised.

Still needs work but I don't think it's bad for someone who only started building his first site about a month ago.
