Partha is Leaving Wealthy Affiliate

REACTIONS

300,000 Members - “Who the hell’s this bloke? Talking about himself in the 3rd person, thinks he’s special and all that, what an arrogant, narcissistic %$$%%£!!!” (yep, that’s about right!!! Hahahaha!!)

100,000 Members - “Good, I never liked him”.

300 Members - “Oh well, enjoyed his stuff, bit of a shame, but such is life”

5 Members - “OMG, Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!”

ONE Platform Owner - “I’m not particularly religious, but PRAISE THE LORD!!! Never has another human being made me feel so uncomfortable, I just never know what’s going to come out of his mouth next.”

ONE OLD FLUFF - *Old Fluff permanently wears black, carries around a wreath, lights candles daily, and CRIES!!!! Hahahahahahhaha!!!

Right, before I go any further, let’s get the INCORRECT assumptions out of the way.

“He’s giving up and he has failed”

REALLY?????? Hahahahahhahahahahaha!!!

Do you even know me?????

I have always diversified my income, ALWAYS (even in my "previous life" as a Corporate Banker).

So, from the money I have made online over the past 16 years I have brought property, UK and abroad, I have shares and investments, and I provide services (can you see how little I “self-promote”, how many of you have ever had SEO or consultation services from me? At a guess, less than 5 members over the years… bet you wish you took advantage now, don’t ya??? LOL)

Additionally, my online income is NOT just website-related.

(and yes, some of you “older members” may remember when I came back in 2020 I “acted” like a newbie just to get an idea of who was who, I managed to get away with it for about 5 months until I was outed, “Ere, aren’t you that bloke from the Warrior Forum, BlackHatWorld, and DigitalPoint who used to write 10,000-word tutorials and blog posts?” some thing’s never change, right!!! LOL)

Partha & Kyle don’t get on!!!

NOPE!!! Incorrect!!

I do really, really, really like him, and one day I will come and surprise him and we’ll have a beer together and a long chat about the industry.

Do I agree with everything Kyle says?

HELL NO!!! Hahahahahaha!!

Does Kyle agree with everything I say?

HELL NO!!!!

BUT

And this is something I want you to take into consideration…

There is NO “one perfect way” to do affiliate marketing.

In fact, even the most SUCCESSFUL SEOs are typically on one side or the other of “the fence”.

SEOs are typically

“Content is King”

OR

“Backlinks are King”

Guess what?

BOTH parties are correct.

So, please understand that there are HUGELY SUCCESSFUL people in this business who do things COMPLETELY DIFFERENTLY from each other.

The reason I want you ALL to really think about this is because most people new to this business approach things in a very technical and methodical way.

How often have you seen the questions…

“How many words should an article be?”

“How often should I use my keyword?”

“When should I publish my articles?”

“How many images should my article have?”

“Should I use more than one keyword per article?”

Remember, the whole point of this business, in fact, the whole point of the internet, is to PROVIDE INFORMATION & CONNECT PEOPLE.

ALWAYS, think in terms of “satisfying a human being” and not in terms of technical methods.

Anyway, back to Kyle and I, yes I LOVE HIM!!!! Hahahahahahahahahahaha!!

Furthermore, something else I want to touch on, Kyle (and Carson) will always be a little “defensive” about the platform.

Think about it, this is their “child” that they have nurtured over the past 19 years.

So, every now and then when I have (or others) moaned about things on the platform, this literally feels like I’m calling Kyle’s “baby” UGLY.

How would you feel if someone called YOUR child ugly?

Partha Doesn’t Agree With Wealthy Affiliate Training & Principles

Sure, perhaps there is “some” truth to this, in fact QSR is one of the major things I have discussed both "on" and "off" platform, i.e. It's NOT for me, BUT I direct back to what I’ve said above… there is NO “one perfect way to do this business”.

So, yes, I often read or watch things and think, “Nope”.

Doesn’t mean that they don’t work, it just means THIS IS NOT THE WAY I DO IT.

But, then again, I’m often really impressed by stuff (btw, the short, informational Vlogs are probably one of the best things I’ve seen here in YEARS… don’t forget, I was originally here in 2008).

Once more, many successful people online do things COMPLETELY DIFFERENTLY from each other.

But, over the years, I have given some insights into how I do things.

I will say that I believe that Wealthy Affiliate and I are moving in slightly different directions.

But, as I say, not all my online work is based on websites, affiliate marketing, etc.

Finally, I have to look at the time and productivity aspects of being here.

Essentially, I have paid my membership to “help people”.

But, as Joey Tribbiani of FRIENDS once very expertly pointed out, "There is no such thing as a selfless good deed!"

We ALL get that glow of inner satisfaction from helping someone (see... "helping" is SELFISH and SELF-FULFILLING!!! Hahahahahahahhahhahahahaha!)

I even remember, about 12-18 months ago, I was actually spending OVER 30 hours a week helping other members (just as an aside, I think after speaking to me many members left the platform, often they simply didn’t realise the effort required, in fact, I am probably single-handedly responsible for the highest number of people LEAVING WA… Sorry Kyle, hahahahaha!!)

Don’t forget, I have NEVER been in the Make Money Online niche, I have NEVER promoted Wealthy Affiliate, so the “help” over the years was simply… because.

But, I had to take a bit of a step back, as 30 hours a week is pretty much a full-time job, which is when my failure to reply to many PMs became more regular.

SORRY!!

I was KNACKERED!! LOL!

(Plus, don’t forget, if you ask me something you’re gonna get a 5,000-word reply, LOL)

However, I feel it is now time to move on and concentrate more on myself and those who “rely” on me (my family and my business family).

Okay, I have around 3 weeks left to go.

BUT

I’m also thinking, I “may” (not definite), stay around for an additional month, as we still have the May 5th Google Updates, and the aftermath of that to come, so I’m guessing there will be members with loads of questions (SEE!!! Still thinking of you lot).

Right, I think I might regret this, LOL, but let me know if you wish to stay in contact with me.

Depending on numbers, and this is something I have been considering for a while anyway, I will probably start a newsletter.

However, I can be completely “myself” in that newsletter and discuss things that I wouldn’t normally discuss on the platform (YES, my background is “Blackhat”)

This also allows people to use my services, plus, I have a huge number of licenses for various WordPress and online tools, so I can obviously provide these at discounts (why pay full price for things like WP Rocket, RankMath Pro, Elementor, etc. and about 1,000 other things when you have a friend who has licenses?)

Anyway, that’s it for now.

As I say, I still have 3 weeks left (I might even stay ONE extra week so Old Fluff has to write me a Birthday message, LOL), so I am still here until then!

But, also let me know if you’d like to stay in contact and I’ll work something out.

Finally, finally, I know for a fact this is going to be difficult from an emotional point of view.

When you speak to people regularly, you form an affection for them, you love their personalities (yes, even you weirdos, I kinda love you too, hahaha), and there is a big family feel to any community.

Trust me, I will miss many, many, many of you (even those who “used” to “like me”, but no longer speak to me or ignore me, yep, I still love you lot too <---- There's a LOT of these... shame...).

I think that’s it, not much more to say, but I will go out in a flurry of “helpful” blog posts too, so there is still more “Partha” to come.

Big Love to You ALL

It’s been emotional…
