Dear Wealthy Affiliate friends,

I want to share something with you that just happened recently—and it might inspire someone who’s feeling stuck or wondering, “Is it worth continuing with WA?” The answer is YES, and I have living proof to back it up.

A 12-Month Commitment That Paid Off Fast

On 2 July 2025, I finally paid off my overdue WA membership fees. But instead of just covering one month like before, I made a bold decision: I paid for a full 12 months of Premium Membership. That wasn’t an easy step—it required sacrifice, strategy, and creativity.

But then something amazing happened.

Within 24 hours, by 3 July 2025, my Google rankings came back. Yes, my content started resurfacing. Impressions and clicks began flowing again. It was as if the WA system—and maybe Google itself—noticed that I’m all in.

My Secret? Selling Extra Website Slots

WA gives us 10 websites under the Premium Plus+ plan. I was only actively using a few of them (mine are 3 slots for Premium-, if that exists). So, I thought, why not sell the extra space to someone who needs a hosted site but doesn't want to pay full WA fees yet?

I found two people and sold my extra website space at a reasonable rate—enough to cover my entire annual membership fee. That strategy worked!

Not only did I remain active in WA, but I also discovered a micro business model inside the platform itself. You don't always have to go outside WA to make it work—you can create value within!

The Real Reward: Learning, Teaching & Earning

Now that my membership is paid, my focus has shifted from surviving to thriving. I'm spending time learning more deeply, engaging in the community, answering questions, and publishing training (when I can).

These actions earn points, and those points slowly translate into revenue inside WA. No, it’s not thousands overnight, but it’s steady—and growing.

More than that, I’m hoping to refer someone soon who sees the value of going Premium Plus. When that happens, it will be another income stream, all rooted in the knowledge and community value WA offers.

A Word to My WA Friends

If you're struggling with fees, traffic, or momentum—please don’t give up. Instead:

• Think outside the box. What resources do you already have in WA that you’re not using? Can you offer help, sell services, or partner with someone?
• Go long-term. Monthly plans are okay, but yearly commitment brings peace of mind and long-term vision.
• Engage the community. Teaching others is not just fulfilling—it earns you credit and visibility.
• Aim for referrals—especially to Premium Plus. One good referral can pay your membership multiple times over.

My New Mission

I’m now committed to not just growing my own sites, but to helping others grow within WA. Whether it’s by sharing what I’ve learned, giving honest feedback, or walking with someone through their first affiliate sales, I want to give back. Because this platform gave me a fresh start—and it’s worth every bit of effort.

If I can make it work, you can too.

Let’s keep building together!

Hey, and happy birthday to my country, South Sudan today 9 July 2025!
