Some might think that their is no great benefits to lowering their ranking score here on the Wealthy Affiliate platform, I would have to disagree. There is a reason why ranking matters to me. Even though ranking has its ups and downs.

The main reason why ranking matters to me would be all the great people I have the opportunity to engage with. People from all over the world and everyone with their own goals and ambitions , that they are trying to accomplish.

Second is that as you build up your network here (lowering your rank) it gives you the ability to be seen and noticed by more people. Some that might have the same ideas as yourself and some that will have you considering things that you had never dreamed of.

Third would be for me , that it's encourages me to write more post like this building my own skills (also lowering my ranking and growing my network) .

I can see how some people think that ranking don't matter. Maybe You believe why do it if their is no money involved. That's not how I see it at all. I see it as, in the long run that their will be money involved because it opens the door to more paths to earn. By Improving my skills .

This is why ranking matters to me. Tell me how ranking has helped you in a comment below.
