Why I went Premium
I am a skeptic out of necessity. This doesn't come out of nowhere. I'm not naturally leery. I like to try new things and I am an outside-of-the-box thinker. Thing is: I have tried internet marketing, blogging, pay-per-click, and other "making money on the internet" programs before I found WA. Tried them and got nowhere fast. This is because every other "system" I tried seemed like it was in some Alien Robot Language that I could not decipher. I even got instructions from a friend who had become successful marketing her website on the internet. I couldn't even get anywhere with her instructions. So when I found Wealthy Affiliates I had to curtail my excitement and force myself to look at it with great scrutiny. And so I did.
My first day on the free program I posed this very blunt question: "How much do you make here. Give me a real number." Yes I was being blunt, but I had to know that if I was going to invest my time into this with the expectation that I would make it into a lucrative business, I wanted to know for sure I was not wasting my time. I didn't really care how long it would take. It took me ten years to get my bachelor's and five to get my Master's so I was used to taking some time to achieve a worthwhile endeavor. I just needed to know that at the end of it I would be able to make a living (As I write this I realize probably a lot of that is the fact that after 15 years of college and 6 figure student loan debt, I am still not making the kind of income that would justify all that work). But more important than wasting my time: I just did NOT want to be scammed.
That was Day One. By Day Three I was in love with this program. I had gotten through a good piece of the course, had built a free site, was getting to know the other people on here. People were following me, I was following them. My questions were being answered. I was getting personal messages from Kyle and other Ambassadors. Most importantly: at no point during any of this did I think "I don't get this." It was like in the Matrix when Neo get's Kung Fu downloaded into his brain. He wakes up, turns to Morpheus and says, "I know Kung Fu." It was like that. Plug it into my brain. Follow the checklist. Check, check and check. It was exhilarating.
And I will be honest - not that I do not believe people who say they are making $20k a month with WA (because I totally do, I have seen the Paypal screenshots) - but I got to this point that I just didn't care anymore. Let's face it: I bet we all blow way more than $47 a month on stupid things. Video games. Trips through the drive-thru. Movies we wish we could get unseen and refunded. That gadget we thought we desperately needed that just ended up in the closet after using it once. I reached the point where I realized that I was having SO MUCH FUN I didn't even care if I made a penny on my websites. I just wanted to make them because it was fun. And suddenly the monthly dues seemed like a bargain compared to the immense pleasure I was experiencing with the program.
I think it is so important to love what you do. Life is so short and making a living can be a complete drag. As Jennifer Aniston's character says in Office Space - most people hate their jobs. How wonderful it would be to make money doing something you love! I enjoy hearing from Kyle and the others how lucrative this business is. It is inspirational as well as comforting. I look forward to blogging about the mad money I'm making. But in the meantime I am just so thrilled to have found a system that is fun and easy to implement.
So why did I go Premium! Because Premium is even more fun!
Thank you Kyle and Carson, all the Ambassadors, and all my new friends at WA!
