Have you been trying to make money online, possibly for years, with little to no success? Have you joined programs which you are super excited about only to see that fade to regret because you began to feel like you were scammed? Do you find the BIG, Bold promises* they lay out never pan out for you?

Would you like to know what I did to escape from this pattern of hope and regret to get to a place where I have consistently earned money for the past five years? If so, keep reading…

There are many reasons that lead people to look into making money online. They might feel unfulfilled and underappreciated at their job. Some are searching for a way to get more out of life. Others unfortunately find themselves up against the wall due to unforeseen circumstances such as a job loss or medical emergency. Whatever that reason may be, they often find themselves mesmerized by those shiny promises* that offer THE solution to ALL of their current problems. They watch the video which helps them imagine a problem-free life, yet at the same time they are overcome with a sense of panic that they might miss the opportunity of a lifetime because the timer on the sales page is running out.

Ultimately, they make the rash decision to buy and with nervous anticipation they begin to go through the training (if there even is any) videos and documents. Already, doubt is beginning to creep up behind the hope that brought them here as they begin to implement the GUARANTEED NOT TO FAIL STRATEGIES* only to quickly find out it’s not as easy, quick, or enjoyable to do. The choice to abandon this program eventually comes to pass, but decide to remain on the email list, you know, just in case. The emails are all new sales pitches for bigger and better ventures which begin to feed another emotion…anger. That eventually fades to desperation again because the problems aren’t going away and are probably getting worse. Thus, the cycle starts all over again searching for the best way to make money online.

You aren’t alone in this struggle. I also found myself wanting more out of life, trying to get out of the rat race, and looking for solutions to my financial, relationship, and health problems that these programs promised to fix. I spent more time than I would like to admit chasing these too-good-to-be-true schemes all over the internet. I’d find a program then half-heartedly work to follow the ambiguous guidance offered in the dashboard, few of which had a live support person to respond to questions - just a boilerplate FAQ section to get frustrated with, then give up and feel miserable about another of my brilliant decisions.

I talked to other people trying out these systems, but they were also brand new to the program and filled with hope and visions of grandeur. It wasn’t until I began asking about other programs that they have tried when I realized that everyone seemed to be having the exact same results I was getting. This raised my awareness to this pattern and I decided to look into it further because I was sick and tired of failing at every business I tried. There were truths from many of these programs that I took away about what it takes to be successful at running a business online. The most important one that stood out to me was that the successful online business people all had their very own business. They didn’t rely on a system with a flashy referral link to bring them success. They sold themselves first and then offered products and services which sometimes were their own and many times were various affiliate programs.

This realization led me to make the decision to create my own business that would stand on its own. Because the universe is amazing, the platform that would enable me to do just that showed up shortly after I made that choice. The perfect medium to start my own business came to me and it didn’t present itself on a flashy sales page with glossy pictures and videos of mansions, fast cars, and beautiful people. There was no intimidating, end-of-the-world countdown clock glaring at me to act before it’s too late. On the contrary, it was a simple review of a web-hosting platform which includes training on what to do to set up an effective website to sell affiliate or your own products and services. The main point is to keep your business as the main business and this resonated with me.

That program is Wealthy Affiliate. It offers web-hosting, domain registration, site-email, top notch training, and a supportive community all cheering each other on and assisting anyone asking for help whenever they are able. You can host up to 50 sites and use either your own domain which is purchased directly through the system or utilize a subdomain provided for you. The sites are built on WordPress which I have found intuitive and easy to get a professional looking site up and running within a short amount of time. Web design skills are not a prerequisite as basic computer skills, a willingness to learn through the well-executed training, and the follow through to apply it is all that is necessary. It’s free to check out, so there is nothing to lose. Sign up now if you are ready to get out of the hope/give up merry-go-round and onto the road to slow and steady but assured success!


Joining Wealthy Affiliate has been the best business decision I have ever made and it has afforded me the ability to be my own boss for the past 5 years. Now, especially with the state of the world being what it is, I can’t imagine being tied to a job that offers little to no security. If you are ready to create your own online business, is the foundation of success that I highly recommend. The owners, Kyle and Carson, are still very much active in the community and have a sincere desire to see everyone succeed. This passion has guided every decision they’ve made in it’s over 15 year history and I am grateful for the wonderful community here at Wealthy Affiliate.

To Your Success,

Ryan
