My name is Mike Mahaffey. I was a member of WA several years ago, and decided I was smart enough already? After cruising around the web for a few years, I can tell you there's no other place like Wealthy Affiliate.
I spent several years learning a little about a lot of methods to earn money online before seeing the light. The very bright light that finally came on, was this: Nothing is better than what I am presently learning to do.
I learned that the real path to the gold is to stay with something until I have become an expert at it. Attempting to partake in many things, one after the other, I became master of none.
There is a lot to learn in any internet marketing endeavor: too much to learn to jump from one to the other. Digging one hole after the other is not the same as digging a mine.
After leaving the tutelage of Wealthy Affiliate after only a few months and spending years and thousands of dollars on other courses, pdfs, widgets, gadgets, and invitations, I got it! And got it good!
There is simply and absolutely no other place like Wealthy Affiliate to both learn and continue your education to be productive and profitable online. I've looked already!
