Pay it forward

I wanted to encourage everyone on WealthyAffiliate (premium members) to maintain the mentality of always helping other members. I don't mean socially or answering questions...as this already takes place in a good way.

There are thousands of members on WA whom all have the same goals. We want to earn revenues through the website / blogs that we create. As you all know, this is a very challenging goal to succeed at these days. There are millions of other similar niche sites who are competing against you to get ranked higher and gather the most traffic.

There is no set program here at WA (it would be nice if there was) to help eachother in this way, but when you think of it...locate another members site and click on their ads. Be serious about it. Click their ads and go to the advertisement and seriously consider if its something you wish to purchase. If so, why not make the purchase through your colleague-members site and help them out?

If you are an Amazon Associates member you know that you cannot make commissions off your own site. Therefore, if you ever shop at Amazon (many of us do) instead of going directly to the Amazon site, find a co-member on WA who has Amazon links and go to Amazon this way. Help out your fellow members by allowing them to earn revenues off any purchases in your cart you might make on Amazon. If you do this, go and tell the site owner exactly what you have done and how you wanted to help them. This way the site owner can make note of you and your site and return the favor whenever possible.

They will Pay It Forward, just like you have done. With tens of thousands of premium members here at WA...if this Pay It Forward mentality catches a hold of each of us, then it can really make a difference! "Scratch each others back"...in a way that will ultimately benefit ALL of us. You have to give in order to receive. Just think about how you can help another members site by clicking ads, or making purchases, or using Amazon or any other marketed links or ads. By doing this, you can expect that someone will come back and do the same on your own site.

Again, this is a tough, tough online business that is clustered with so many different sites within the same niches. We have to do whatever it takes to succeed and beat out our competition. Do all your normal trained tasks, but always keep in mind that at WA, we have a mentality of going beyond the typical social fellowship and actually taking action on another members sites to help them. In turn, you will be helped back.

Spread the news and share this with your network. The more members who buy into this idea of helping other members, the more benefits and success this idea can bring to each of us.

Any thoughts? Is this a bad idea? Am I wrong for suggesting we do this? Do you want to be involved and help others?

Thanks - Matt
