Don't Look for a Handout Here

Let's get one thing straight. Wealthy Affiliate is NOT a hand out. It's not a get-rich-quick kinda thing. There is no magic "set it and forget it" formula. Sorry to disappoint you if that's what you came here looking for.

Becomming successful with Wealthy Affiliate, like any other business, takes time and work. You have to put your mind to it that you are going to work at it and you're going to be open to learning.

It is a Helping Hand, However

No member here is going to do it for you, but we will help you.

The longer I'm here the more I realize that these people are my friends. What I find the most astounding is that there is no competition. We are all in this together.

So take advantage of the helping hand being extended to you. And I don't mean take advantage of the people here, but rather use the resources being offered. I mean ask questions and accept the answers with grace. Be patient with the process and the people. Respect the advice of those that have been here longer.

Read the posts on your dashboard and leave comments/questions. Folllow people so you're connected with them. I've made it a point to follow members with a badge such as Ambassador, Top 100, and Top 200. These are the members that post helpful information and give encouragement on a daily basis.

Create posts yourself. Let others celebrate with you on your accomplishments and pull you up when you're feeling frustrated or lost. Not that posts should be a gripe session, but we are here to lift you up when you need it.

I've found that in those times of feeling frustrated and wondering if this is the right thing for me, that lifting others up has indeed lifted me up. If you don't feel comfortable yet answering questions, then give feedback of congratulations and encouragement. Welcome new members. You'll find that this will lift your spirits as well and give you the motivation to carry on.

And Don't Forget the Training

I can't stress this enough, but stick to the training. If you will open yourself to learning something new, even if you've done some affiliate marketing in the past, you will learn how to build a successful website.

I knew nothing about writing content before coming to Wealthy Affiliate and now all of my posts older than a week are indexed and both of my sites are ranked, one the first week and the other within two weeks. I'm certainly not boasting about myself...all credit goes to following the training and advice of the members.

I admit that I rolled my eyes a few times when a task would be to write another post, but I did it anyway. I now see that the intent was for me to have enough content to get indexed so easily and to do it the right way through practice. Maybe these guys here really do know what they're doing...

My Final Thoughts on the Matter

Put in the time, learn, and accept and extend a helping hand. This is the magic formula at Wealthy Affiliate. Everyone helping each other...everyone paying it forward.

Here's to much success for all of us!

I am in agreement with you, here at the WA we are here to achieve online marketing success, even though we have different achievement level, but the goal is the same to succeed. Wishing you all the best.

Wishing the best to you too!

I agree. It takes time and effort in order to make lots of money. :)

Yes it does!

I surely agree with you. This is not a compatitio . We’re all here for the same goal. Everyone’s mindsets are different and that’s what makes this platform so amazing and user friendly.

You're so right Steeph!
