It's Lonely at the Bottom My Free Membership Experience

Recently, I replied to a comment in which a member mentioned that they were a free member. I didn't give it much thought because I had been a free member myself. However, upon reflection, I remembered when I joined Wealthy Affiliate, I wanted to go premium because of the quality of the training, the community, and the websites. I didn't realize all the other benefits that were also available. The training was what attracted me the most.

But I couldn't afford the premium membership fee. And I wanted to use my half off discount month wisely, so I decided to wait until I learned as much as possible from the free program. I planned to finish the second certification course when I became a paid member. I thought that might be my only chance for a while.

If you are in a similar situation, don't panic. Wealthy Affiliate has a lot to offer even in the free program. I know this from experience. Back then when you went from your week of free premium WA access to free, you felt it because you lost all access to the premium features. You couldn't use your blog, live chat, Jaaxy or any premium trainings. But you still had access to the help bar, other people's blogs and non premium trainings that other Wealthy Affiliate members had created. These resources at Wealthy Affiliate helped me to keep going.

It may all be different now, but I must say, back then, it was very lonely at the bottom. It's so much better with full access. I might have given up and not be here today if it weren't for those members and their free training. I am grateful for them. I was able to hang on and I’m here today at plus premium. Ultimately, there is always a cost, you know, rather you’re investing in stocks, real estate, or yourself, there is a price to pay. And now you’ve seen this place, you know WA, you know you have to upgrade. Because just like me you know it’s worth it. :)

I went free for almost 2 years, but last month I subscribed premium! In just one month, I have done a lot of progress, creating 2 websites (work in progress though!)

Honestly, the best investment on myself I did lately!
