I Will Fight Till The End. Will You?
In my last blog,I am feeling down because as I mentioned, I tried everything that I can do, yet I still haven't made real progress.
Thanks, to our community, I got much-needed advice to get up on my feet and start fighting again.
Some of our seasoned members including Jay mentioned that there are some buttons that are not working plus I needed to add some CTA (Call to Actions) to my articles.
There are a few lessons that I've learned from this experience.
Affiliate Marketing is Not Easy, But I Can't Give Up Now
I know affiliate marketing works because some of us have already made a lot of money. I just need to refine my system and never give up.
The journey to financial freedom is not easy and there are times where it is really discouraging, but between trying to reach something greater vs. giving up and just watch Mulan or binge-watch Diney+ and Netflix, I would choose to fight till the end.
My Lack of Progress is Not Equal to Wealthy Affiliate Being a Scam
I did my part. I work hard, and diligently produce content via a blog, social media, email marketing, and SEM. but still stuck not making money.
Some might think that it is WA's fault. that WA is a scam. That WA is lying on us, but WA has nothing to do with it.
It thought me how to do things, it provided community, it gives me the tools to succeed, and those are the things they promised in the first place!
Many of us confuse WA as a money-making program, but as I keep sharing with others, WA is an all-in-one affiliate marketing platform that will help anyone to start and maintain their affiliate marketing business.
Need to Give Back to The Community More
One of the reasons why I am feeling stressed right now is because my subscription will expire in two months, and if I can't make money (at least 2 - 3 sales) then I will have a harder time justifying the cost.
Of course, I don't want that to happen. WA became my go-to the community whenever I need inspiration and my source of encouragement.
I love the community and the convenience it provides!
So, I will do my very best to make those 2-3 sales so I can still stay here at WA.
The other thing that I will focus on is to give back more to the community: making friends, answering questions, leaving comments and feedback, and creating training/ courses.
If worse comes to worst, I will be happy to leave (hopefully temporarily until I manage to save up again) WA knowing that I helped a lot of people.
Well, that's it! Sorry for the "sort-of" rant, but hopefully this can be an encouragement to those who are also in the same shoes as I do.
Let's fight till the end!

Good Morning John,
I hopped over to your website and had a look at About Us. Are you an Us or is it only you? The text is confusing as you mix plural with singular. Instead of that little picture holding this About Us sign, I really would like to see a nice, smiling portrait photo of you, the creator of this site.

Maybe he used the journalistic we. Lends a certain gravitas to it. No just me saying it. We all feel that way
Okay I think you are right. Time for me not to be so private about this thing.I prefer not to show myself, but I always see people suggesting to be personal and real with my audience
I prefer to keep a low profile myself. In 1996 I was doing business as myself. I had just had my first $10,000 month when I got served with a subpoena. AOL was suing me. Seems they didn't like me sending emails to their members. I hadn't done anything illegal but fighting a billion dollar corporation in court will take every penny you have. They got a judgement in a federal court in Virginia. They didn't try to collect and I wasn't going to pay By then I had created a Nevada corporation and issued the stock to a trust based on the laws of Belize. I was only listed as the business agent with power of attorney over the corporate bank account.
Here on WA I go by my real first name of Neil. On my social media accounts I have created personas that my target market can relate to.
Good evening, Neil,
That could be as long as you stick to we. Going from we to I and back again multiple times I find confusing.
A good photo of a smiling person transmits trust, only text does not inspire a lot of confidence.
Did you look at his About Us?

Good evening, John,
I agree with that.
You sell something, be it an idea or product. Whom would you believe? An invisible person who gives you advice or a person with whom you can identify yourself with?
All the best, Taetske
You will be fine John, it is also nice that you vent and get the air clear. Things happen, and when you slow down or skip lesson, the progress is lessen. (speaking from experience)
Now that you're back, you can speed up the process. Goon luck on your journey to succeed.
Stay bless.

I'm with you and feel the same way about not giving up and how great the people are here! I'm sure I'll come across the same things as you and it is nice knowing everybody here has got our backs!
Be well and thanks for the motivation to keep going

John, it's not easy but it works. Wealthy Affiliate makes it easy for us because of the support we have. As a premium member we have all the resources at our disposal, and each one of us has a different approach. But we have to figh till the end, as your title suggests. We're here for you!
Yes, this things are priceless.
Of course I am not gonna lie and tried to review other programs as well, and by far nothing can beat WA for the value it provides vs. the price we pay!

Could be the reason is you see it as a fight. It's not but we are all different. If it's any condolence I have been here five years in a few months and barely have made enough to pay my membership. It's hard for some of us I guess. And I did the right things too. 500 posts on my site all SEO, pictures, links, edited. It is what it is and yea....crickets. Lol When it gets too tight I will bail out or if it's between the water bill and this, well, water bill has to be paid.
