Wa referals

I cannot recommend WA to people to have them sign up under me without being honest with them. If I am honest about how hard it is to succeed with affiliate marketing, then they wont sign up.

Today things are different. What I CAN do is recommend the training at WA. it is good. But, if they ask me how much money they can make and how long it will take, I have to be honest with them.

I have to tell them it will be 5 years at least if you are lucky and stick with it that long working for free. Most wont do that because most people want things NOW and want to make money NOW or over night.

Nothing good happens fast. Nothing good happens over night. Those that say they do are scamming you plain and simple.

Should we be honest about the realism with affiliate marketing? Should we only sell WA on its awesome training package? Training is top notch, videos are great. WA does a great job of teaching you eactly how to create a website, and set it up for ads and Amazon links and how to write quality articles. They show you HOW to get traffic to your site.

But, knowing how to do it and actually bringing 20,000 Users to your site every month is a different story.

Building the most awesome website blog and writing the greatest articles and posts in the world do not matter if it does not earn you $1 of revenue. UNless your site if for charity or just making announcements.

If you want this as a career, and to make a full time living from this...its another story. I have tried and not make decent enough money to quit my full time job like I wanted to do after 2.5 years.

I did it all. I trained and went through Wa program more than 3 times. I do everything they say, yet not enough traffic, (UNLESS I spend $10,000 on google search ads, then I can get some traffic for sure), not enough revenue to make it worth my while and time.
