Becoming A Yearly Premium Member
Becoming A Yearly Premium Member
YES! I DID IT! On April 17, 2018, I decided to become a Yearly Premium member!
I did not come to this decision as easy or as quickly as I should have. You would think, with all that WA has to offer and the awesome support of the community. That would have been enough to sign up. Ordinarily it would have, but something was holding me back. Let me tell you about it.
My Excitement
It's been almost a month since I've joined WA. I began the Get Started Here training course. I was doing fine and was contented with myself. I made it to lesson 9 in the first course. Feeling excited to finally get to lesson 10. So ready to pat myself on the back for completing the first course would have been a great accomplishment for me. Then my smile turned upside down!
Feeling Defeated
Someone inquired as to whether it would be alright, if he could take a look at my website, to see how things were coming along. He checked it out, and said everything seems to be fine. Afterward, I requested a few keywords for my niche. This was the point at which my grin flipped around! Would you be able to guess what I found out? Yup! What I thought was my niche, was not really a niche by any means.
Despite the fact that, I felt defeated. I proceeded onward to attempt to think of another niche. Yet, nope to that one as well. In any case, I continued three, four more times, yet without much of any result was I to get any nearer to my niche. Could you be able to envision what I was experiencing inside?
To make a long story short. I absolutely just abandoned my site. I didn't finish the first course in the Get Started Here training in light of the fact that, since I didn't have a niche, what was the point in going on.
I remained active in the community, for some time at any rate. However, this also came to a halt. I would look at my phone and see all the unopened WA blog posts, comments, questions, trainings and followers in my email. (It will take a couple of weeks, if not more to catch up with things). Then as of a few days ago, I saw that I was dropping in rank.
Decisions, Decisions
It is currently coming down to time to take care of business whereas I need to settle on a choice to move up to the yearly premium or not. Like I had said in the beginning. This should have been a simple decision, but there was a battle going on within me. I would say to myself, "All things considered, I can't seem to come up with a niche, so what is the use of upgrading!" or doubting myself by saying, "I will never have the capacity to compose content like a significant number of individuals I see here at WA" or "I won't be successful like the numerous stories of people I read about.
Then on the other hand, I would say to myself, "If I upgrade, I'll have eleven more months to pull myself together. To come up with a niche and to be able to at least draw in a little bit of money". (I didn't want to get to far ahead of myself) I'm glad I chose the latter.
Making The Right Choice
Becoming a Yearly Premium member was the right choice to make. With all the wealth of knowledge you can gain from within WA, it would be impossible, not to learn what you would need in becoming a successful online entrepreneur. So to those that are hesitant like I was. No mater what you may be going through right now in trying to up start your business with WA, you would be better off with just upgrading to the Yearly Premium. You'll have many more months to master your website without having to spend a whole heap of money in the process.
My Thanks To The Members Of Wealthy Affiliate
I want to say thank you to VitaliyG. Like I was going through my niche woes, he was there for me. No matter how many times I went back and forth with him in my attempts of coming up with a niche (which by the way, was a lot) Vitaliy was patient, and understanding. He advised me in what I needed to do, gave examples and so forth. You would think with all his help that I would finally come up with something. NOT! Vitaliy must have said to himself, " Okay, enough is enough! It's time for her to take a different approach". So he advised me to take the Affiliate Bootcamp course. Now, unbeknownst to him, this is exactly what I was trying to avoid in the first place! I didn't think that I would be able to build the kind of content needed to promote WA. Which I'm still not, but that's another story. I told Vitaliy that this would be my last attempt, meaning, if I didn't come up with a niche within the next few days, (my one month anniversary. To pay $49 or upgrade to the Yearly Premium) I was going to leave WA.
Well, guess what family! I FINALLY GOT MY NICHE! I am currently taking the Affiliate Bootcamp course and within the first few lessons Kyle made picking a niche impossibly easy. I just hope that I am able to do WA justice.
Many thanks to Herinnelson, to whom I also connected with for help with my niche. She was ready and willing and came up with great ideas that I may still be able to put to use in the near future. By the way, Herinnelson along with Loes and Ariel are some of my favorite writers. I hope to write as well as them someday.
I also want to thank the WA community for their steady invitingness, encouragement, empowerment, warmth, giving counsel and the laughter.
To wrap things up, I want to express my gratitude toward Kyle and Carson for their blood, sweat, and tears (according to Kyle, no tears involved) for making WA a marvelous site. No tricks up the sleeve, yet their definitive intention is to help individuals to wind up fruitful online business visionaries.
In Conclusion
In finality, I want to state that, as you come up with some awesome ideas for your website and incorporate them onto your site. You will experience the roller coaster motion (some highs, some lows, some giddy and some scary moments) but while doing so, don't forget to reach out, to share, to ask and to help others
Thank you for taking the time to read about my achievements thus far.
Thankfully,
Kim

I am glad you're here with us for the long run Kimberly! And I am glad I was able to help guide you to start with affiliate bootcamp! I know it will help you immensely and as you get better and better, you will form more and more niche ideas to expand into :)
Congratulations, Kim! You are an awesome, interesting, and charming writer! I thoroughly enjoyed reading about your going yearly!
I am confident you will do well!

You've made an important decision and a commitment. That's a big deal. That commitment will carry you through some of the tough days when nothing makes sense or seems to work (we all have those, FYI). Congrats!
Congrats on going "Yearly", Kimberly and, yes, It does take a big load off the shoulders. No more worries about whether or not you'll be able to make the next payment and now you have access to ALL of WA, EVERYTHING.
So glad you made the jump and, yes, Vitaliy has been very patient with me as well and has always given me great advise.
The community has been a great support as well. So, keep up the training and I'm also glad you decided on a niche(WA). You're going to do just fine.
All the best and never give up,
Wayne
Congratulations on becoming a yearly member. I will do that when I get the money I just can not afford it just yet. That is my next step and I have been thinking about it for a while now. I will do it someday just not now.
