So, I came into Wealthy Affiliate Sunday, July 20th 2014. The day before my birthday. I immediately fell in love with this community.

I had went to the East Tennessee mountains (Gatlinburg), for my birthday weekend with my wife and son. I had been working through some issues with two of my websites that I had running. I had been building some momentum with my sites, and found them fall flat because I had geared all of my content to an old algorithm. My vending business is quite new and not doing as well as I would like. I have always known, without a shadow of doubt, that I CAN and WILL be successful in online marketing and business.

So all the way home, I could not stop thinking about finding the proper training, resources, and a team to help me achieve my goals. I spoke life into my search and after getting unpacked and settled in, I pulled out my laptop and began searching. A client that purchases royalty free music mentioned a website that he had found and I should check it out.

Instead of listening to him, I searched for REAL online business opportunities. I found myself reading about the various scams that I was already quite familiar with. I read to the bottom and clicked on a link that brought me here to Wealthy Affiliate. I closed it, and did another search. Found another website with similar content and found myself back here. I was intrigued. So I decided to see what all the fuss was about.

What I found, FAR exceed my expectation. I saw a vibrant community filled with people wanting to help. I saw real training. I had the owner of the site contact me and offering help. I had 40 followers and kept reading all sorts of success stories and saw a real value within my first 30 minutes on the site.

I decided to start the certification as a free member and after one module... I was premium. This is what I have been looking for. This is something that I know that I can do because I actually have training, support and resources that other programs try to upsell.

This is going to be a fun journey. I look forward to helping others achieve their goals because I know if you put others before you, you succeed as well.

There is no reason why someone couldn't succeed here other than just doing the total opposite of what the training teaches.
