Why the Wealthy Affiliate model?

Again this morning as I wade through my endless sea of email offers

Let me rephrase that, as I clear out my endless sea of email offers, it comes to me

That why would one choose WA? Let’s see here, well for starters we cant escape the fact that When all is stripped away in this IM world it still comes down to a people, relationship business. How many times have you been in a retail store or any place for that matter, and the Sales person ask “how may I help you”? what’s your response? Come on, you know it.

Thanks I’m just looking, why is it any different on line?

When someone arrives at our page they are saying Thanks I’m just looking aren’t they? Maybe something brought them here, but they are still just checking things out. My point? You cannot bombard someone with the cheesy “countdown” meter in your face, or better yet grab this offer, now because I don’t know how long it will up before I’m “forced” to take it down.Only 2 left at this price. It goes On and on……..

I mean really? That’s telling me, this person really thinks I’m an idiot. But hey that’s the marketing that’s being sold today. And you know what? people are paying for this “Coaching”

We’ve all been there myself included, but I wised up to see this is a recurring theme in marketing. Every ones teaching out of the same book.

What made WA different for me is that they focus on building a relationship with people first. There is a gentle approach to selling, here’s my page, here’s what I’m about, here’s what I’m into, I offer items on my page you might be interested in?

OK, that’s a quick analogy but that’s the way I see it. No, nobody wants to be sold anything, but people are willing to buy, on their terms, we just help find what their looking for.

Thoughts?
