Hi Paul, my first commission within WA, after becoming a paid member, took two months after I recommended the platform. I haven’t received any organic sales from my sites, and it’s been about 18 months.
Thanks Steve for sharing your success story. Keep up with the writing. One day you will smile at the sales.
Paul.
No, you don't, Randy.
Simpley follow through the training, complete all the tasks set within each level of the training, and take immediate actions and be consistant in order to establish a successful online income generating business.
Paul.
means we don't have to upgrade to premium to receive payments, because I don't have enough money to upgrade to premium
Randy, you can remain as free members and still make money, however, you will be alone struggling. Premium membership opens you door to a more complete training, tools, resources, community support that will help you towards establishing a successful online business.
Paul.
That means with a free membership I still get paid and the payment can go into my bank account?
Well, that's good. WA doesn't pay you for JOINNING. It pays commissions for affiliate sales and egagement within the community.
means currently I am only involved in the community? can you explain what affiliate sales are like?
You go to 'WA Affiliate Program' there you will find your main affiliate link. Share the link with your social network or friends. Every one joins through your affiliate link and become a premium member, you earn a commission. If you would like to learn more, follow the training. Welcome to Wealthy Affiliate!
I'm still having a little trouble launching my first business,because I don't really understand yet
You will understand everything well soon.
Take your time and don't rush it.
The important thing here is the training.
Through training you will establish your business well.
Have you started the training yet?
Paul.
Don't give up. You'll understand everything in time. I was like you at first when I get started.
I am sure of that sir, no one is successful without learning,everything must be from the beginning.
For me, it took 3 months to make my first sale. Within 6 months I was making consistent sales, and just after the year mark I was earning a passive 6-figures (and from there it only grew).
Every story is different though. I have seen people earn their first sale within their first few days, and I have seen people take longer than I did. The reality is though, you WILL make your first sale and things will start to click more and more as you gain more experience.

I made my first sale after 5 months of side hustling, but now I'm becoming a full-time solopreneur(after 5 years). Actually, my "official start" is the 25th of August 🙂
My advice ,keep going and not give up, each of us has a different starting point, has unique skills, has a different learning curve to go through. Don't compare yourself to others; look only at what you really want to reach and go for it.
Thanks for sharing your success story. Very insightful and encouraing.
Paul.

Thank you 🙏🏼. I'm glad it inspired you.
I wish you all the best in your training here.
Paul.
