In the short time that I've been a part of Wealthy Affiliate, I've come to love and respect the place, there is no way I can deny it. In the last five days I've learned and taken more action in any business endeavor than ever before in my life. Not only making me online-wiser but, the site has manage to instill in me the confidence that I'm not alone and that it can be done.

Although, I've only completed the Online Entrepreneur Certification - Getting Started (Level 1), it is clear that our greatest and perhaps our only asset (for those of us that do not have a product) is our opinion, our recommendations, our unique ways we see the world, and to convey this we are to become writers.

If you are like me, the thought of becoming a writer might set off some very real, quiet alarms, some of you might even say, I don't even read! How am I to become a writer? To you I say: you have to, because you have no other choice. We are going to need help beyond the marketing, we need editors.

Here is another excellent revenue avenue for the Wealthy Affiliate empire, offer an editor service. To clarify, I don't mean offer something like Microsoft Word or Google Docs; I mean there should be a real person reading our articles before we post to our blogs, someone that has sympathetic eyes for our content but that is not too good of a friend, someone metaphorically reading over our shoulders, making sure we don't write anything overly stupid, quietly shouting; Clarity, clarity, clarity!

If I'm standing alone on an island about this, I say "oh well", but as I see the nature of what we are going to do, we can only benefit by having people read our words before publishing them, which could only assure to maximize our return.

Feel free to disagree, craft an argument.
