Hey there Guys,

This is my first WA blog post as I am fairly new to WA and have been a premium member for just over week now and all I can say is WOW! What a week it has been. I have learnt so much thus far going through the lessons. I am just finishing with level 2 of the training.

My Online Experience

My journey on the online space before i got to WA was a long and rough one where i first tried online marketing in 2007 by writing articles and after a few articles i decided to give up because i did not see any results.

I then started a blog and joined Clickbank as an affilaite in 2010 and after a few months of setting up the blog and posting articles every week with out any results which frustrated me and led to me giving up again.

I then took a long break from the online space but I still had my social media accounts which i was quite active on and while browsing through my Facebook page I came across Anik Singals LURN platform which I joined for about $500. This is when I first learnt about funnels, auto responders and building lists .

The LURN platform and training was great until we got to the part were i needed to invest more money on a monthly basis for various upsells which I was not told about from the outset. This really annoyed me, living in South Africa where our curency the rand is poor against the dollar made it difficult for me to continue with the program and I was forced to drop out.

In 2019 I attended a local business seminar where i met a guy named Paul O' Mahoney form Ireland who was presenting his online opportunity and I was really intrigued by his online course which I bought.

Paul O' Mahoney's course led me to Russel Brunsons Clickfunnels which I also purchased and the training was awesome, I was taught how to create my very own product and build my own website funnel which was great until it came to the part where you now have to start driving traffic, that led me to spending a few thousand dollars on facebook ads which left me broke and I could not even afford the Clickfunnels Monthly subscription anymore and had to stop pursuing my dream again :(

You could say I was quite the online junkie but these guys where good at promoting their products and then upselling you which eventually became unaffordable for the average man. They also sold you on how easy it would be which is not true.

How I Found Wealthy Affialate

I still wanted to fulfill my dream of being an online entrepreneur so I kept searching and I kept finding people trying to show you shortcuts on how to do it. I was about to purchase a program so I decided to google the owner an I came across Mike Beaty a WA member who was ranked on google.

I read what Mike had to say and I really liked his honesty and then he introduced me to the WA family. The honesty and transperancy of WA is what drew me in but i was sceptical about the WA members willingness to help without being sold but after getting this far in the training I understand now and the I love the pay it forward concept.

I am glad to say that I am to here to stay and i now know that i have found a platform that I am going to find success in without spending a fortune.

Thank you WA family for all the assistance thus far.

Regards

Lawrence

Wow! Welcome, Lawrence!
Welcome to the Promised Land.

I do understand completely and
I can relate to all the promises
they made were just promises
and that was about it.

But you know what? If those
experiences didn't happen to
you, you would not have found
what you were looking for.

So always look at the perfection
of everything because behind the
struggle is a light at the end of the
tunnel waiting to be acknowledged.

I know you will do excellent here
bringing your utmost experience to
share to the world.

Welcome to your success!

God bless you, Lawrence.
