I'm an Ambassador Again.

Woooo--hooooo, Pikachu !!!!!

Thank You Ladies and Gents for your amazing support. Especially over the last 30 days, you guys have been absolutely phenomenal. And believe me, the 2nd Time is Twice as nice!

After being dormant from Nov 5 to Feb 1 and not even writing one single post here, now I have risen from the dead back to the Top 25!

Hang with me here, and at the end of this post we will receive a special treat!


Ambassadorship – There and Back


The first time I became an Ambassador happened only three months after joining WA under the old algorithm. I remained an ambassador for 124 consecutive days and ranked as high as #6. However, my proudest achievement was that I also held the No. 2 Helper spot for over one month (only behind Kyle), but abruptly fell from this perch due to an involuntary write-ban.

The write-ban lasted exactly one month from Sept 17-Oct 17 while I was still an Ambassador ranked number 14. By the time I was reactivated, I was no longer an Ambassador and my rank fell to number 44. Naturally for a time I became disenchanted, as at the time I believed the write- ban was undeserved. This apathy led me down a foxhole, with my rank falling down to the high 500s, and becoming so disillusioned that I stopped posting for 3 consecutive months!

Many times during this "dark period" I was very close to quitting WA. I felt invalidated and marginalized but I thankfully I didn't and stayed the course. However disenchanted I had become, I was still somehow able to see the “forest from the trees”. I was not the only one who experienced disenchantment. Other long-time ambassadors and many others have since fallen by the wayside for many different reasons.

The difference is I realized the unparalleled value in education we are getting for every dollar we spend here at Wealthy Affiliate. The "no turning back point" came when I decided to take a “leap of faith” and take advantage of the $299 Black Friday deal to go yearly on Nov 27.

In hindsight, it was GREAT decision I made that day.


The Wealthy Affiliate Way


I am very proud to say I am one in a very small group of WA members that has made it all the way back to Ambassador status after falling way down into the abyss, and one of the few who after losing such status has made ambassador under both the old algorithm and the new algorithm

Some have said being a WA Ambassador is only a virtual number on a leaderboard, and has nothing to do with REAL success and making money $$. Yes in one sense I agree with them. They are right.

Some also might say by reading this I am placing too much emphasis on being an ambassador.

Believe me, I’m not.



It is very true that being an ambassador here at WA does not automatically define you as one of the most successful members in the community in terms of monetizing a successful online business. One also should not presume that all ambassadors have a greater deal of knowledge than some non-ambassadors. There are MANY experienced and successful members “in the know” who are ambassadors and aren’t ambassadors.

However, it does mean that as ambassadors if we cannot answer a question directly WE have all been active here long enough to know where to find that knowledge and information, and where to point you in the right direction.

There are many more important endeavors in life and in business to pursue and achieve, such as keeping the health of your family, learning online marketing, monetizing your websites, and these ends should always prioritize our time.

Since returning from exile from WA, I have gone on to spend the lion’s share of my time progressing with the certification training, learning WordPress, and taking affirmative action toward building my businesses and monetizing them. Definitely time that has been the most valuable spent.

Now I am making $$, and achieving some modest success in both my online business and interior design business. The band still does private events and gigs, so that is additional ancillary income.


The Ambassador System is Fun

The Ambassador system at WA is a FUN way to “pay-it-forward” and to keep us motivated toward achieving our goals, there is no (and likely never will be) money involved in being one. We are ultimately WA members here to all succeed at becoming successful money-making online marketers, but I believe each one can feed the other, and you as a member can really can thrive at both. This is what the founders had in mind.

For now I will celebrate rather quietly for one day only - so please allow me to have "My Day In the SUN", for tomorrow its back to work and even more FUN!



I wish you ALL the same fate.

Now as I said earlier, as a reward for hanging by me and reading this long self-aggrandizing article of mine, I have left a SPECIAL TREAT here for you.

Just click here on this link and watch this video! I think you will enjoy it!

Cheers,

Kaju

That’s an impressive achievement in a short time frame. Congratulations! Your mind must be really clicking. You’ve paid the price to pay it forward. Now the other challenge is to keep a balance between building your business and giving back at the same time.
Blessings to you,

Yes, this is a continual challenge for all of us Judson. I think I will be spending a lot more time in my business, paradoxically that is what got me back to ambassador.

Thank You and Blessings Back to You, Judson.

You are also one of my best and most inspiring friends here - you're an inspirational source, unrivalled!!!
TOPNOTCH, SUPERB, UNIQUE -support, -knowledge and caring character You have!!!

Oh dear, #29 today - new record!! Don't know how this happened?!? I'm not aspiring for an Ambassador title. I haven't even finished the 2nd level of the certification course. I'm not qualified to be an Ambassador. I just love helping out where I can and I love to encourage and cheering up my WA friends.

I want to concentrate more on my online business, so my ranking won't stay this high. I want to continue cheering up and cheering on my dear friends of course!

Congrats to your #22, AWWWESOME as always!!
:-)

This is certainly the nicest compliment I ever received here, P. I am truly at a loss for words.

You deserve to be an ambassador. Totally. Don't sell yourself short. You are one of the most CARING, SUPPORTIVE, HELPFUL, and POSITIVE people here at WA, and the BEST in my book.

Just keep doing what you are doing Pernilla, at #29 (and soon to be an ambassador) you are totally Amazing as you are, your Awesomenness!

Awwwww, YOU made my day, Mr. Ambassador, once again!

Totally RAD, speechless!!!
You make me blush!

Working on my dream now. Talk to you soon again! Take care!
:-))))

:):):):)

Btw, Have you seen my last post P? It went to No. 1. One of my all-time bests.

Woooo-hoooo my friend!

I'm still around!! Sooo much to do!
Have tons of email notifications and PM's, LOVE it, but it takes time. Have finally posted another blog on my site, yippie!

Thank you for thinking of me and give me the hint about your No 1 Blog!!! You have boosted to AWWWesome #14

CONGRATULATIONS KAJU!

I have certainly not overseen your blog. I'll leave a comment for sure! Just need a quiet time to soak in the wisdom you share, can't treat your blogs like some kind of fast food ;-)

Dreamtime again!
Enjoy your well deserved success!!!

:-)

Awww. "...can't treat your blogs like some kind of fast food.."

That's one of the most lovely comments anyone has ever said to me, you are an AWWWesome and Amazingly Kind Person P!!!

Just telling you the truth, You, extraordinary talented Writer!!
You, giving me the cutest comments!!!
What a way to start the day!

You have a way with words making me and everyone feeling so special :-D

Have a Most Wonderful Day, Dear K !!!
:-)

You too, My Special P!!

Congrats Kaju, I know you've works hard for it:)

Thank You Loes, appreciate that.

It's hard when you fall down to 500 and lose all motivation to pull yourself up "by the bootstraps" again. But I immersed myself in learning, and now I'd like to believe this 2nd time around I am a more worthy ambassador for this.

Happy that you have made it back as an ambassador, Kaju.

And it's great that you got over your disappointment and disenchantment. I hadn't been following you at that time, so don't know what caused the ban. But I do know that any 'punishment' that is felt by that person to be unjust is counter-productive and causes negativity. I've had enough private pupils who came to me because they disliked a subject where the dislike may have been caused by no more than a remark by a teacher who didn't know the full circumstance of why a piece of homework hadn't been completed or done to the required standard.

Enjoy this day. (Sorry - haven't been reading several of your latest posts because we had nice weather here in England for a change and I really wanted to make the most of it. Will look at those posts soon...)

~ Isabella

Great advice Isabella, thank you. Glad you are enjoying the beautiful weather in England.

Very good timing on your advice, because before I wrote this post today, I wrote something VERY related.

What a great video!!! Thank you.

Thank You, I appreciate that. Took a great deal of work but I enjoyed the process!

what in the world did you do to get banned?

Oh, yea. congratulations. great news.

PS you forgot to enable the Bora Bora Dream link Mr. Ambassador.

That's right. I meant to say that too but got carried away writing and forgot.

It's enabled now Steve, check out the link, I made this video.

Oh, that's is a LONG story!! For another conversation 4 sure!
And Thanks Steve, I like the "Mr. Ambassador" moniker!

too little to late. If you want to be so self-promoting you need to do better my friend. And, don't give us those lost in space excuses. JK LOL :)

That is one "buggy-eyed" emoticon!!

You ARE the man, Kaju. I am very happy to hear that. You are certainly very deserving. All the best.

Wayne

Nice to see you MY Man Wayne! It's been a bit too long!
Thank You!

Oh, I forgot to put the link in the bottom of the video (give me a minute - thanks for the reminder!), you will definitely enjoy this one!

That's a fantastic achievement, Kaju! Rising from the dark into the bright sunshine again requires a lot of energy, self-belief and determination. It's so inspiring to see what you can achieve if you put your mind to it. Enjoy your day in the sun!

Thanks Sammy, I will take your prudent advice. I'm enjoying this sunny day. :):)

And I always appreciate your comments Sammy, you give me that energy, belief, and self-determination and brighten up my days!

Thank You Sammy!

Ahh, that's so kind of you, Kaju. I'm glad you are full of energy again.

:):):)
