Hosting company lead
GOTTA LOVE THIS STORY
In my favorite spot for morning coffee working on Wealthy Affiliate website, when I encountered a little snag. Pounding the table I exclaimed "stupid "WordPress".
Customer at next table asked what you working on and what's the problem. I explained that I recently took on challenge of affiliate marketing and building a website.
Well, he is a project manager for hosting company in Atlanta and possibly could assist me with website and marketing. I asked for the cost involved:
Plan 1 $1,000.00 which includes building site and teaching me to maintain, hosting for first year and $179.00 yearly going forward.
Plan 2 $2,000 site, plus updating pages, hosting, domain and $100.00 per hour per session to plan SEO and marketing strategies.
I asked & he replied
Do you have Instant support 24/7 with live chat --NO Communicate with owners of company--NO Can you meet like minded entrepreneurs--NO Step by Step training with videos anytime--NO
Before I could continue he asked "what are you paying now" When I explained you could start for free (and set up website), upgrade to premium for $19 first month then $47 per month or save with $359 yearly. At this point he took his coffee and began to walk away---I just couldn't help but ask "AND BY THE WAY DO YOU HAVE AFFILIATE PROGRAM AND OFFER BLACK FRIDAY SPECIALS".
The look on his face was priceless. Then, the lead happens----guy listening to our conversation asked me for information on training program. Thank you Mr. Web Hosting Guy.

LOLLL. You got me from go. Stupid Wordpress. LOLLL. Great story thanks.
Yes there are some skeasy little SEO etc companies out there. Heck yeah we can do better here at WA!!!
Yes, its very expensive to get this training elsewhere. I started out using AWOL academy... After all the set you up orientation type videos and note taking (about 1 week and included 5 or 6 hours of video), they tell you it's going to cost you $19000. But if you act now we'll lower it to $15000!!! LOL. Then on top of that you had to buy the software and several different monthly services!
WA is the best!
Hahahahahahaha OMG!!!!!! It's insanely expensive out there!!!!!!! We are really fortunate to be here. This is just awesome!!!!!
