Top 200! Wait . I've been here a while.
So, back in early December, I noticed my rank jumped from like 500s to the top 200.... what happened? Overnight....basically.
Celebrate!
Okay, I'll be honest. I wanted to celebrate the top 200 back in early december when I originally reached it. However, I didn't think it was real. Like, there must be a glitch of some sort. I mean, how is it even possible? I didn't earn this, did I? I don't deserve this, do I? But I was celebrating inside. I just couldn't outwardly celebrate. Now, it's been almost six weeks, I think I can 
celebrate! so.... YAY!
Where Do I Rank?
Well, I have ranked anywhere from the 130s to 199 and everything in between, today is January 12, 2019 and I currently rank as 148. I am no where near ambassadorship and I realize that being in the top 200 does not necessarily mean financial success. Not all successes are financial. That is the ultimate goal, obviously, it's the reason we're all here.
What does this even mean? It means I'm active. I'm connecting with people. I'm helping people. It means I'm involved in this community. It also means people will reach out to me that would have never seen me before. Ranking in the top 200 means that I'm working hard and "actively," making contributions to my own websites while trying to help others.
The Bad | The Learning Curve
Back in November, I had serious buyers remorse. I was emotional and sensitive, this is a huge investment of money and time. I had so many amazing and supportive people and I honestly had some pretty terrible people. Okay, well only one terrible person, who kept insisting on replying negatively and with an insane amount of condescence. It might happen to you too. Don't worry though. You might have to endure this, I tried hard to ignore it. I did not do well at ignoring it. But I got a serious flood of support from some of the most amazing top 200 people who knew how to offer advice and support.
You're going to find people you click with. Sometimes a no-nonsense straight to the point person is what you'll need and there's definitely some out there. Some people think being rude and condescending is "direct." Just move on from those people. Others, much like me, need a positive support system. The learning curve here isn't just the training, it's the people too.
Celebrate Success!
This entire program offers more than you'll find anywhere else. Get active in the community. Celebrate and SHARE your successes. If you get your site google indexed.... celebrate! Have you reached 30 posts on your website? Celebrate! Is it your first post? Definitely celebrate! Success comes in many forms and the more you share your success, the easier it is to connect with people.
Don't just focus on "getting in the top 200." Focus on your site, on your community, and on your goals and you'll get there. Wealthy Affiliate is truly a global community and they want to celebrate your success with you!

Hi so pleased your hard work is paying off, and thank you explaining the path you travelled so others like me can emulate your success. Forward and onward to making your dreams come true.
Thank you! I appreciate the feedback. Not all of my ideas work, but even if they don't I figure why not share it! We're all here for the same basic reason and helping each other is a great way to ensure we can all achieve success.
Well done, Christina
This is a big change in you from two months ago. Keep it up.

PS. I found it worthy to write a post when I hit my 200 ranking, too.
Hey Chuck! You're right about that.
I will say with the male I took issue with, in hindsight, he was direct and I was extremely emotional and took it the wrong way at first. The female was aggressive and very condescending and continued to harass me for weeks. I had to fight to get passed her verbal bashing and bullying. But now, I think I learned a lot from it.
I believe that I'm better at learning whose advice to accept and whose to just ignore. We all connect with different personalities and it's really a global community and that's such a blessing!
Congratulations on your achievements, enjoyed reading your post and the advise based on your experience.
Sometimes it takes longer for some people but the key is to stay focused on your website and the community and helping others as you progress.
Hope you have an excellent 2019+.

Thanks Reinaldo! I think that is definitely the key, keep doing what it takes to succeed and help others. There is plenty of training and advice on how to get to the top 200. I got there and didn't expect it.
Thanks for stopping in!

Great job! Continue your good work in 2019!
Best wishes,

Thank you George! You can definitely get there for sure! I did not even focus on getting to the top 200, I just followed the advice and instructions given by some awesome people that helped me along the way. Some are ambassadors and some are with me in the top 200!
oh wow thanks! Congrats on being an Ambassador! That definitely shows commitment to the community.
