Feeling Disappointed
Hi everyone,
I have been a member of WA for over a year. In this time I have learned a lot of aspects of web building, and gained a lot of knowledge on how I may be able to make this a part-time online business. A way to supplement my income.
WA has all the tools required for you to be a successful online success, and by far it is one of the best programs there is. I compliment and thank Kyle, Carson and Jay for creating this platform.
Recently I suffered a medical situation, which also led me into a period of falling into a deep depression.
When I got back to being active, I realized I had my title as an Ambassador was no more and my rank had gone from 12 to the 67 as it sits at today. This was logical to me, no complaints.
I accepted this, actually when I did get back my site quality was showing all zeros and my rank was 54. Since that time I have been able to bring my site quality to the 100% mark except for 10% on the plugins and 40% on my publishing.
I really thought that since I was able to go from all zeros to the 100% mark, my rank would rise accordingly. Well it has been the opposite. Four sites indexed in the last two days, hours of researching to write quality content. Commenting and answering questions to the best of my ability.
My date to renew my membership comes up on the 10th of November, and I am having serious doubts about continuing my membership. I tried, I did not fail but was not successful. No one fails here at WA. Yes we all make mistakes, it is all part of the learning curve.
Since I have been on WA I have had the privilege and pleasure of meeting a community I choose to call my second family. Truly amazing, inspiring and wonderful people, and I thank you all.
I have realized I can not treat WA as a part-time enterprise. I also have come to realize that this is not like a regular job. There were times I missed work for extended periods of time, but when I got back, the same amount of respect that I had earned prior to my absense was still there, and I was not demoted. My pride and my dedication to my job was immediately recognized.
In public school if I missed any day, I had to get a note from my parents as to the reason for my absence. In High School it had to be a note from a Doctor, and I could not write my own notes anymore. College was just the same. I borrowed friends books, put more time into my studies and was back up to par within a week, if not less.
I accepted and did not make any objections about losing my title as an ambassador or my rank rising while I was away from WA, it was the logical thing to happen. I truly expected my eight to twelve hours of work on catching when I returned here to WA would count for something, but I now feel like I may have been wrong. I have no regrets as I sincerely tried.
To all my friends, and to all members who are a part of WA, you are in the right place, if you want to learn and establish an online business. Yes there will be those days where you may run into problems, but the support you get here is like no other.
I wish each and every one a successful journey. Don't ever give up. Everyone here is a success story.
All my best to you,
Always your friend,
Michael.

Hi Michael,
Since you made it to Ambassador already, you know you have what it takes to reach that goal.
How is your affiliate website doing? Perhaps the universe is sending you a message to rethink your priorities. After I achieve Ambassador rank my focus will be mainly on my website.
My goal is to stay on Ambassador only as long as it takes to sign up Premium Members. I am hoping that by having a high rank I will have more influence with them.
After I accumulate a few Premium members I shall not worry about rank any more and 100% focus on my affiliate marketing business. I shall still be active on WA but in asking and providing help rather than contributing as much as I am now doing such as writing Blogs, giving site comments, welcoming new members, etc.
I shall continue to use WA to learn and implement new skills as well as improve the ones I am weak in. There is no other platform like WA to do that economically.
Please do not leave WA. I appreciate you being here more than you will ever know.
All the best to you.

Hi Michael, Michael here...haha
Like others have already said, your rank here isn't as important as your websites. Put your time in there before worrying about WA rankings.
I write for my website before doing anything on WA. I've never made it the top 200, but I'm at about 260, even with my focus on my website first.
My philosophy is training, then website, then WA.
Best wishes to you,
Michael
Michael, I think if you renew, you can still take advantage of the awesome savings on Black Friday and ii should be prorated if I'm understanding correctly. The rank is awesome, but at the same time it is your site work which will produce financial dividends for you! I would be much farther along but I have many irons in the fire, but I always like having more to do than not enough, especially when one of my enterprises isn't doing as well as it should. It leaves me the others to fall back on! I like having my eggs spread out among many baskets! Best continued success to you here my friend!!

Oh man. the big D is bad sad news throughout bro! Thats sucks and it would have been cool for ya too REACH out to family member here... ANYTIME Micheal we cant let the curse be the winner in life. I hope you stick with us, if not you will be, and have been missed...
Be Blessed cuz.....
Hi Michael.
Forget the Ranking. Its just a number. You encourage people and help people, that is worth more than any badge.
WA takes time, I have been here since Jan and I am MILES behind on what I expected in terms of the training and website Building BUT its fun and I am learning. Its not a race and the ranking should be secondary. You are a valued member on here.
Get better soon, relax and refresh and come back stronger.
Take care - Mike
hey hi Michael 🏆 --- once an Ambassador always an Ambassador!
It's great to see you back posting today -- you've been missed!
Just know that the WA rank is 'nice' versus 'must!'
Personally, this is my second time UP as life and off-line projects and events do happen from time to time, as we all know!
It was easier the second time and surely the third, fourth, fifth .. and on it can go ....
Best would be for one's websites to be bringing in steady revenues and that also takes steady, consistent, ongoing work every day pretty much .... but it's at your call and no one else's!
It's vital to keep well, keep happy!. ... your spirit does affect your physicality ... just like the weather affects mood sometimes!
Find your happy spot, happy place, and get in there! ....
What makes you feel good, happy inside?
Only you have that answer -- look deep within!
Best wishes to you for everything good, cheerio-o ... ⭐️😊⭐️
and by the way, hope you stick around a bit longer as it does take time and patience for a site to gain traction and scale!
Hi Michael, I have noticed that sometimes it takes several days for my rank to be updated. It may be the same for your situation. Although I like my WA rank to be high(lower number), it is not the most important aspect of being a WA member.
My ability to make progress with my websites with posting quality content to be ranked in the search engines is paramount. I work hard to make progress there, and as long as I do see the progress, I stay encouraged.
Sounds like you have a lot of aptitude and ability here. You should renew, and keep moving forward. I wouldn't let a temporary dip in WA rankings dissuade me from staying with this phenomenal program. Just my two cents, Tom
Hi Michael
Sorry you’ve been unwell, great that your back and moving forward 👌
And yes times are a changing, I also had to take time off work and when well enough to return my position was changed as they couldn’t keep it open for me🤔
But I worked my way back🤪
As you will get your ambassador status back in no time,
Will be watching your ongoing journey, whilst giving everyone inspiration to excel and strive to reach your status
Good luck 🥂🥂
Hey Michael! It’s so good to have you back and I am glad to hear you are recovering.. your rank here is of no consequence.. it’s what you bring as a person to our family group., the respect and appreciation is there. your time should be spent on your websites.. that is truly the best use of valuable time.
My rank here has risen over the last few weeks because I have changed one fundamental practice that I was very good at.. wasting time on Facebook, game apps on my phone. So when I’m sitting waiting in the car for my boy from training or I’m having a soak in the tub, instead of going into a time waster, I come in here to see who I can help.. I probably spend a max Of 30 minutes.
Please don’t value yourself by your rank here.. you are valuable to us all!

I have to repeat what Keisha already wrote...
"once an Ambassador always an Ambassador"
You are a motivation to all who are connected to you here.
We all come and go as life takes it's turns, and rank will go up and down accordingly. You are still a 12 to us :-)
I hope that you contemplate your reason for being here and find that you want to continue on that journey, but if you should decide to switch paths, know that you have left your mark on this platform!
I hope you get back to feeling better, stronger, happier, and successful! Take care,
Cris
