Six degrees of success at WA

Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

Several years ago there was a book called "Six degrees of Keven Bacon". The premise was that everyone was within six persal contacts of everyone. I am proposing that we carry this premise a completely different way here on WA.

I propose that each of us are six degrees away from a person we can help make successful here at WA and at the same time make ourselves successful. Here is how it works:

Pick a person from your network of friends at random. This person is your 1st degree. Go to their profile and go to their network of friends. Open the full view of friends.

Pick one of their friends that is not a friend of yours. This is your 2nd degree. They are the ones with green "follow" below their names. You may select "follow" of not, but go to their profile by clicking on their name or photo.

In this person's profile go to their network and pick one of their friends that is not in your network. This is Degree 3. "Follow" or not, but go to their profile, thier network, pick a friend (Degree 4).

Continue this 2 more times. When you get to the 6th degree, "follow" them. Go to their profile and leave them a message to the effect that you read this blog "Six degrees of success at WA" and they are your 6th degree and you plan to help them gain success at WA. Be sure to copy their user name somewhere where you can find it so that you can keep that promise.

This is very Important!!!

Then return to this post. Under comments, simply enter their name. DO NOT LEAVE ANY OTHER COMMENT. I'll know you like the post simply because you took part.

Be sure to follow up, probably a personal message would be best, or use their profile page, by sending them encouraging messages. Get to know them, their goals, their posts, their websites. Work with them as well as you can. Keep it up.

Be sure to post their name here under comments so that I can update the progress at some points along the journey.

If this is confusing to you, or if you just want to see how I did it:

My six degrees started with my friend Hudson65. I then picked his friend Phoenixblue. Then I found that Phoenixblue had no friends new to me, so I went back to Hudson 65 and picked Dapto, who had friends that I currently did not follow. I picked Linmy. From Linmy's friends, I picked Dasonm7278. Then finely, from Dasonm7278, I picked my 6th degree friend, Xrizxomiz. I "follow"ed him. I then left a message on his profile page, explaining the post and saying, "You are my 6th degree. I will be in contact with you, get to know you better, and perhaps we will be able to help each other gain the success we are striving to achieve."

Good Luck and post your 6th degrees below.
