June 4th 2015...
Hi, My name is Mark and I live in the sunny, coastal county of Cornwall in England. I'm in my late 50's and this is my first real move into the Internet Marketing sector. I've hung about forums and surfed the net a fair bit over the last few years so not everything will be alien to me but I get the feeling this is going to be a huge learning curve. Looking forward to all the upcoming training, interacting with the community and building a successful online business to take towards retirement (whatever that is)!! I'd welcome comments and messages from anywhere in the world and hope to make many new friends from everywhere.
July 8th 2015......Update:-
Well after signing up as a Free member in early June '15 and upgrading to Premier a little over a month ago now, I have to say I've achieved so much that it's difficult to put into words how I feel I have progressed, but here goes....
....built my first ever website, got it live and online at page 3 in google, learned much more in 4 weeks than in 7 previous years hanging around the net, got involved in this wonderful community and made many new friends throughout the whole world, introduced my first new referral to WA and got my ranking here up/down to number 62.
August 9th 2015.....Update:-
I've just been informed by Kyle that, because of my efforts within the community, I have risen to the rank of Ambassador.
Wow, how brilliant is that and how humbled and proud I feel to be an Ambassador of this fantastic organisation.
Thanks to everybody who has helped me to achieve this, it's very much appreciated!
September 7th 2015....Update:-
I've been here for 3 months now and have risen to 13 in the Wealthy Affiliate Rankings, posted 46 blogs and learned so much it's just not possible to recount it all here. Wealthy Affiliate is without doubt the very best online training, education and support platform there is for anybody who wants to build an online business.
November 25th 2015....Update:-
Here we are then, about 5 and half months in and within a day or two of Kyle's Black Friday special.....$299 for a whole year's membership of Wealthy Affiliate! This is an absolute NO BRAINER of a deal so no matter if you are a Starter Member or a monthly paying Premium member, take out your card, upgrade between the 27th and 30th November, save yourself a bomb and forget ongoing monthly fees.
You know it makes sense!
November 27th 2015.....Update:-
So it would be entirely stupid of me to extoll the virtues of Kyle's Black Friday special and not take advantage myself so I just did it......I just upgraded to Annual Membership and I'm now locked in forever at just $299 a year. Talk about value for money, this cannot be beaten so if you're reading this and Kyle's deal is still available you simply have to grab it.......you won't regret it.
***************************************************************************************************
If you are reading this as a new, Free member here at Wealthy Affiliate, please just consider what has been achieved by a middle aged man with nothing beyond basic computer skills and no marketing experience at all and just upgrade straight away....you will never regret it.
If I can do this, you can definitely do this too!
Thanks

Hi Michael,
Yes I'll update my situation here when I renew my annual membership in late November and bring my profile up to date.
I see you've risen to Ambassador yourself, well done with that but don't let it be the be all and end all, it's lovely to have the status and kudos but I found that it took a lot of time to get and stay there and needed to step back and take a breath.
Hope you enjoy all of your time in WA, it's a fantastic resource and the community is brilliant as you know.
Thanks for dropping by Michael, have a great day!!

Hi Mark thanks for your advice earlier all taken on board. Although I cannot find it now on WA at all. Any ideas ? Seems to have just disappeared. So glad you've become an ambassador. Shows what an helpful person you are. Oh by the way I think you are the first Englishman I have spoken to on WA. So im not the only one haha. Take care and all the best

Hi Les
There are plenty of people in here from the UK so you'll never be lonely!!
I became an Ambassador last September after being with WA for only about 9 weeks but you get to that point by being VERY active within the community and sometimes it can distract you from the realities of being here which is all about building an online business.
As a consequence of less activity I have slid down the rankings but remain a committed WA member and shall do so because everything we need is here.......hosting, training, support, did I mention training???
The landscape is ever changing and Kyle keeps us all up to date with all matters as well so leaving is not even up for consideration.
Did you say my response to your original point has disappeared? If you still can't find it, let me know and I'll have a look.
Good to hear from you Les

Hello Sanford and welcome to Wealthy Affiliate.
Unfortunately I haven't done boot camp in quite a while so I'm not really the right person to ask.
My suggestion would be to create a question regarding your boot camp difficulties, place it in your question box at the top of your profile page and then ask the community for their own thoughts and recommendations on the issue.
You should then have plenty of replies and ideas of how to move forward.
Alternatively, you could step into the live chat forum via the blue button at the top left of your page.......beware though, it's pretty fast moving so you'll have to have your wits about you!!
Either way, you should then be able to sort out whatever difficulties you're facing and carry on with your training.
Good luck
Mark

Hi there Peggy, nice to meet you!
I see you're a retired nurse...my wife's in the health sector so I know how hard you've worked all of your life and now it's time to learn some new stuff for yourself.
You have definitely come to the right place as a new learner because there is everything here that you need to know in order to start making a living online, right from the very first basics.....and once you start doing that, you can continue making money from wherever you can get online (anywhere in the world that is) so you're not tied down to being anywhere you don't want to be.
We have a strong community of helpful, like minded people who will help you out whenever you get stuck (and you will) so start at the green button, take each training module in order without skipping any steps, ask questions when you need to and you'll soon have your very own website online ready to start earning your first dollar/pound/euro etc.
Good luck Peggy

Hi there Drew
You're right about the platform we have here at WA. As you interact with more people you'll get to see the wonderful power of this community, the way that it complements and supplements the corporate training we get from Kyle and Jay and the support you will get from it whenever you're in need of it.
Dive in with your training, ask for help when you get stuck, tough it out when you need to, persevere and never give up.
Good luck Drew, travel and income are yours for the taking.

Hello Ofelia, thank you for your kind comments and welcome to Wealthy Affiliate.
You'll find we're a helpful bunch in here and we'll support you all the way along your training....any time you get stuck, ask for help and somebody will soon get you going again.
I've read that you're used to public speaking.....in that case no excuse for being shy, spread yourself around, become social and it will help your efforts no end.

Good morning Erica, yes you're right....for those of us who weren't brought up and immersed in technology, or for those who also didn't work in IT, it is a huge learning curve but rest assured we are in the right place here at WA with all the brilliant training and support we get.
Glad to be in touch, take care and good luck with your online exploits.

Good day Mark. Your story (stories, rather) have inspired me. However, I am feeling like I'm not sure I can do this, or (for lack of better words) am able to reinvent myself. I know I can write (literally about anything, as it was what I was kind of trained to do being an English major) but I'm leary about all the little nuances that I'm quite sure I am missing with such little training as a starter. Again, I'm new to all of this but would like to give it a go for the year by upgrading at that price rather then paying monthly. I hope you don't mind me following you, just for inspiration and at the same time wish you all the best.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Hello there Jean and no, I don't mind you following me at all.....in fact I'm flattered that you see something in my stories that made you think it was a good idea to do so.
I see you are concerned that maybe you don't have enough training or perhaps knowledge to do this. Let me me stop you right there because that's exactly what Wealthy Affiliate is all about.
This is not a glib statement, WA is for people exactly like you who need taking by the hand and seeing everything, and I mean everything, through step by step. Even then, if you don't quite "get" something, the community (that's the collective for everyone of us here who are members) will help you out....no extra cost, inclusive, because that's all part of being here.
As my bio says, before coming here I had NEVER built a website before. What did I do? I followed Kyle's training on the green button and built one with pages of content within a couple of weeks. It could have been a couple of days but we all have "stuff" to do, right?
Just start at the green button (you may already have), go at your own pace and achieve something new each day if you can. If you get stuck with something, just ask and somebody in the community will jump on and help you out.
We call it Paying Forward, we help you and then you'll find yourself helping others......it comes naturally.
I'm happy to take your pleas for help if and when you get stuck or even for just a bit of encouragement if you ever need it.
All I know is, if you don't give it your best shot here at WA, you'll forever regret it. What would you prefer, a while learning a new skill here to free up the rest of your life or clinging to the 40/50 year cycle you're already on?
Thought so ;-)
Good luck, best wishes and just go for it!!

I think that might be an aberration Gordon, more like #33.
I checked the Ambassador page and it shows everybody around me jumping up 28 places, me included, so I think something is afoot :-)
Thanks for the kind thoughts though Gordon....it'd be nice to be ranked 5 but I think it's a mistake.

Hi Karen, Luton is about 30 miles north of London and about 285 away from me........a fair distance by our standards but a short hop for a lot of others in the world.
Yes, another incident with possible links to Islamic Jihadism although mental health issues for the perpetrator haven't been totally ruled out yet.
I am reluctant to say it, but I think my little corner of the world is probably not on the maniacs' route map of death and destruction... ...fingers crossed anyway.
Thanks for your thoughts Karen, much appreciated.

You're welcome Billy and although the BF deal is fabulous, it's still great to be a monthly member.........you could always put a dollar in a jar every day and next BF you'll have enough to trade up and also have change to go with it!!
Good luck Billy

Hello Bob
Yes, Cornwall is lovely but very chilly around now.....I'm guessing Malaysia is nice and warm whatever time of year.
By the way, I had a look at your site.....I like your url and about me page....a couple of things you could look at if you want me to be more specific but entirely up to you. I'm sure you're still in the development stage anyway.
Cheers Bob

Hi Mark, not sure which site you looked at but both are not really ready for the public. Most of my pages are in draft. I really should use one of those under maintenance plugins.
I really would value your critique of my site but I am a few weeks away. If you don't mind I will call on you again for your comments. Which site was it you looked at?
You are right about the weather here. I usually do my mails on the balcony around 6-7 am. It's usually cool then. But we are used to the heat,not sure we could do without it.

Hi Mark and thanks for the follow. I have returned the compliment. I wish you all the best in achieving your goals here at WA. We always end up in Cornwall when we travel back to the UK. One of my oldest friends (and I mean old!) lives in Newquay. Good luck. Ken.

Hi Ken
You're very welcome, all the best to you too.
Newquay has had a terrible reputation over the years for being the clubbing/party capital of the area but the police are clamping down on drunken behaviour and have even banned a lot of the more outrageous fancy dress items that people wore....think mankini......in an effort to quieten things down a bit. Hopefully it'll help out a bit!
Cheers Ken

That is really encouraging to continually hear stories like this of those who have blazed the trail before me and have done really well. What more does a person need to stay motivated, even if your time is crucially limited? Take one step at a time, be patient, and it will come together. You were definitely right on the money with the Community distraction if you don't watch yourself.

Thanks Laurence, very good of you to say so and I'm glad you liked my page about the 40/50 year grind.
So many people, me included I have to say, either bought into or are still buying into that plan, that they are sleepwalking towards their own financial nightmare.
Good luck with your efforts here at WA, any time you need a lift or any help, let me know and I'll come straight back to you.

Hey Laurence
20/25 years of grind and then virtually nothing to show for it or 1/3 years online whilst building up an ever increasing income for life.........errrr, I think I know the answer to that one!!
Good luck

Thanks very much Michael, I'm very grateful for your kind comments :-)
No matter where people are in the world, WA is a fantastic resource and exceptional value......Black Friday's price makes it even better value! Unbeatable in fact.
Thanks again Michael

Hi Isabella
Really nice of you to say so and if you are indeed inspired then I'm very happy to be of some service to you. I've mostly been off the platform for about 6 weeks doing other things but I'm sort of back now so you'll hear more from me in the future.
Good luck and best wishes

You're right about that, it gives us a sense of the reality that WA is all around the world.
