Focusing on the right things to maximize your WA experience

So, I have been noticing more and more people that are questioning whether anyone here at Wealthy Affiliate is actually making any money with the methods being taught here. I have even noticed one person asking to see replies to his post with only screenshots of how much other WA members have made from affiliate commissions.

We all realize that there are tons of scams online so I can understand some of the skepticism. Instead of focusing on whether this platform is legit or not, maybe you should focus on the training and apply what you learn.

Just think for one minute about one of the primary concepts that is being taught here: getting ranked in search engines. If you're ranking on the first page for what someone is searching for online, you're essentially putting your business out there for billions of people to see. Then depending on the delivery of your content, potentially turning a percentage of those people into customers.

It's no secret that Google is the preferred method for people when researching something online. Think about how you got here in the first place...you were probably searching for ways to make money online. Then one of the results on the first page was probably someone that was promoting WA...most likely a WA member. Do you see where I'm going with this?

What I'm trying to say is the methods taught here will work but you have to put in the work yourself. It won't happen overnight. If your current mindset is that way, then you need to calibrate your expectations. Clear your mind of the skepticism and really focus on the training and apply what you learn.

I have joined other "make-money" programs and can say with confidence that this is one of, if not THE best opportunity that I've found. The principles that are being taught here are tried and true and it's up to you to follow the blueprint that's been laid out for you.

One last thing...for the newer members that are complaining about not receiving any help. Be sure to post your questions in the right places and trust me, you'll get an answer. First thing I do is post a question that I have to the community. Then I'll go onto Live Chat as the secondary option. All "technical issues" should be directed to SiteSupport.

Anyways, happy learning to all and have a great and productive day.

Best Wishes,

Mike

In my opinion we are hearing about legitimate success (making money) using WA instruction and tools much more often than we used to. So I agree with you ... "the principles that are being taught here are tried and true ..."

Affiliate marketing is simple ... but it's not easy. The training here takes time to learn and implement. But if you are patient and persistent you will be successful.

Listen to what Michael is saying ... "the methods taught here will work but you have to put in the work yourself. It won't happen overnight."

Dennis, that's interesting. I never thought about the fact that we may be hearing about more success stories from WA members than ever before. I haven't been a member long enough to really appreciate that statement.

It does feel like more people are posting about their first commission earned, getting ranked on page 1 for Google searches and so on.

Those that are having success only reaffirms my faith in the system and drives me to work even harder.

Great advice. Thank you!

You're welcome:)

I agree with Loes!

People who want a supposed quick online cash system will only find that they got scammed. But not here at Wealthy Affiliate!

If someone wants a system to develop an online business and is willing to put in the time to work hard to learn how, then WA is the place to be.

Otherwise, I suggest people buy a lottery ticket for the one in 350 million chance of winning. LOL!

No effort required there, right?

I actually still buy lottery tickets every so often. Still haven't won my millions yet LOL.

Great advice.

Thanks Wendi :)

The training works, and works for everyone the same, but not everybody works the same

Wise words, Loes. Thanks

Mike,
What a refreshing post. Whilst I may occasionally feel a little low if things are not quite going right, the one thing that is not depressing me is the failure to make money here at WA, because I think that with hard work and dedication that I will succeed. I have been scammed, conned and wasted my money, but this time I honestly believe that I can make a go of it. In fact have made a dollar for a referral that has actually began to engage.
Best wishes

I am all too familiar with wasting money on scams...for once I feel like I have made the right choice. Congrats on your referral and hopefully there will be many more to come, my friend.

Best Wishes,
Mike

well said.

When I first joined I was of course also skeptical. I decided to really give the training a go, and within a week I could see that no matter what, the training here was amazing and something I could learn a lot from.

Later I then realized how then to use the training to make money:-) I understood new people are skeptical - we have to be with all the online scams out there.

But very good advice to really give the training a go and take action. Then it will be clear what this platform has to offer.

All the best,
Mikael

Thanks Mikael. I was skeptical as well when I first started but then I started seeing a lot of Wealthy Affiliate members web pages popping up everywhere on the first page of Google searches :)
