Greeting to all W/A members / kia ora (greetings & good health) - i am a New Zealander, living on a wee farm in the South Island - my Profile gives more information, so i'll concentrate here on what led me to W/A (so wonderful to be here):
1) made redundant from teaching job of nearly 40 years (so what?? i'm a grandi-mum);
2) have a newly built cottage but hanging round its neck is a mortgage;
3) saw adverts on facebook & elsewhere & answered, hoping to make some money;
4) set up a website which linked me to AMAZON & the chance to promote their products;
5) Amazon great but the company with the back office, took a great deal of my money & I had phone calls to get even more - promises of one-on-one help & loads of training & an incredible man who kept calling me "sweet-heart" & promised me ....."i don't really know what" - he was pushy & a bit of a bully - after he got 1/2 the money he wanted I was caste aside (boy!!! did i learn a lesson) - when i read comments by others i was loathe to accept that the company concerned was fraudulent & out to rip me off - the training was basic (though to me an introduction to on-line marketing) - eventually i ran out of money & my credit card refused to allow any more money to go to them (or anyone) - BANG no access for me to my website!!! (I can't believe now i went through all this - hopeful & keen to learn & grasping at straws - (enough for today - i'll get back to my story soon)
BACK AGAIN - greetings to all and may Americans enjoy their 4th July holiday/celebrations/

NOW I went from bad to worse - determined to do well, make money & shake off the many supportive but not-quite-believing responses from friends & family, I went for anything & everything - fell for all those awful videos - joined up with so many schemes, that I lost track of them - tried here, there & everywhere - sold items off my farm - where did all the money go? - into yet another "you'll make money" scheme - led to poverty yet again but stopped short of trying to sell my farm - depressed but what could I do??? THEN when going through the many e-mails I get every day, one from Steve turned up out-of-the-blue!! Steve has the site "ivetriedthat" & his message was a life-saver - he wasn't selling me anything - he offered several days of training (yep - been there - e-mails dried up after a day or so) - and the training came, with messages of support & showing me there was another way - to join a community of supportive people, with relevant training and daily communication - SO HERE I AM - AT W/A - LEARNING & LOVING IT - ka kite ano
