Fending Off Naysayers
So as you move forward this will probably be one of your biggest challenges in building out your business. You have to completely dive into this to make it work and as you do so, you will have plenty of push back.
I'm writing this blog post because I've seen it happen as the more serious I get at this the more push back I tend to get.
I had someone tell me that I'm a crock of shit because I'm writing reviews on products I haven't used. He then jokingly said I'm running a ponzi scheme lol.
Now, us as affiliate marketers know how silly of a statement this is. We know it is entirely possible to write a high quality, informative, and helpful review even if we haven't actually used that specific product.
We also know how many different real ponzi schemes are out there and how this is about as far from that as you can come.
That isn't the point of this post, though. The point of this post is to point out that you will CONTINUALLY get push back as you do your online adventure. It is just how it is. There is no denying it.
When people see you doing something out of the ordinary, it doesn't make sense to them.
Don't worry, it isn't going to make sense for most people. Most people won't do anything besides follow the crowd their entire life, so you should EXPECT this to happen.
I'm guessing that most people here at WA are currently working other jobs while building theiir business. So you will be flocked with naysayers around you all of the time.
We've all heard the stories before of how if so and so would have listened to their friends and family and what everybody else was saying then they wouldn't be where they are today.
If you want to do great things, and you want to turn this into a real full time business then you can't listen to the naysayers.
So, in closing. Know that this is a normal part of internet marketing and you shouldn't try to avoid it or shy away from it. Embrace it, break through this and you will have nothing holding you back.
Keep working at this "unordinary" thing that could potentially replace your 9-5.

You are onto it Daniel we run our own race. Just let your actions speak for themselves, the naysayers will become followers in due course.
That is great advice Daniel for those who might be doubting themselves in respect to developing a successful online business.

I went through this very thing when I joined WA. I actually lost a few friends over the fact that I was so committed to this. Maybe they never were my friends.
My family still thinks that I am in a scam and will pay a very high price because I won't listen to anyone and their rantings.
If they only knew that I have been scammed in the past, and this is about as far from a scam as you can possibly get.
I have always marched to the beat of my own drum and did things my way. I see no reason to change that now just because there are those that just simply don't understand this.
Just keep on keepin' on!!!

Ha yeah, WA is anything but a scam. People aren't rational though and make assumptions, far too often.
