I Get No Help from My Sponsor

Anyone in my WA fan following base who truly knows me knows how positive and giving of a person I am and how I’ve always been committed to helping others in the community.

I love to help others here unconditionally and I make it my business to answer EVERY question and comment to the best of my ability.

Two fabulous posts over the past few days written by awesome members Lee Ann and Debs inspired my thinking about this.

Where Did My Mentor Go?

Who Referred Me to Wealthy Affiliate?

Heck, I hate to write even one negative post Ladies and Gents, but even I occasionally have to get things off my chest.

So here is one of my rare rants.

The truth is I Get No Help from My Sponsor.

Never have in the 20 months that I've been here as a premium member of WA. And I don't expect I ever will. Despite reaching out to them many times with a variety of questions under all different types of circumstances.

Yet they continue to make a recurring income off me. Constantly. $175 per year guaranteed, as I am their referral and am on the yearly premium plan.

Mentoring

Mentoring.

To be clear, that is supposedly the role of the person who I signed up to WA through their affiliate link, or the person whose link from their website led me to the opt-in page of WA.

Technically, that person is my mentor.

In other words, my sponsor is my mentor.

Except it doesn't always quite work out that way.

Some have been lucky here, unfortunately I was not.

And I was a rare catch indeed, as I signed up as a premium member practically immediately after clicking on their link. In other words, after reading all the background info on WA, I joined directly to premium and never looked back, without ever becoming a free member.

I will not name the person who is my sponsor, I refuse to disrespect anyone on this platform regardless of how often my questions and comments have been ignored. I'm sure they know who they are.

All I will say is that they are a high ranking member, they are NOT Kyle or Carson, who to their great credit have always been as prompt as possible to answer my questions and address my concerns.

Regretfully, not one time in 20 months has "my mentor" ever answered any question I've asked them in a PM, nor have they ever responded to any of my comments I've made on their posts or trainings, all phrased respectfully, whether it was a question or a comment.

And there were many important questions I needed answers to from the beginning and still into the present.

Learn to be Self-Sufficient

But I guess I did alright anyway, I learned to be very self-sufficient on the platform, by asking a wide variety of questions to GREAT members of the WA community. Both my followers and non-followers.

I learned to find out who were those "go to" specialists "in-the-know" very early on, and sought out those members. Whenever I had a question about the training, I knew exactly where to go.

Therefore, I suppose you can say in a way you ALL are my mentors, as your feedback and engagement speak volumes, and I get volumes more helpful attention and information from EVERY ONE of you in one day, more than my actual referrer has ever given me during my full tenure here.

I refuse to follow the lead of my referrer.

You can bet your bottom dollar as long as I am here I will always help this community. And if I don’t know the answer, I will do my best to send you to someone who does.

That said, no regrets whatsoever.

Everything turned out pretty well for me.

And to All My Referrals…..

You can ask me ANYTHING at any time, and you will always get an answer pronto from me.

Please NEVER hesitate to reach out to me and ask me ANYTHING related to online business and your journey here at Wealthy Affiliate.

Feel free to reach out to me via PM, or ask a question or make a comment on any of my combined 450+ WA posts, questions, and trainings

Rant over. Thanks for listening.


Back to positive and more productive endeavors, my friends.


Cheers,

Kaju
