"I am not good enough for this Make Money Online Thing!"

I love to read emails from my email subscribers. It's interesting to see what people think.

Obviously, I encourage people to join Wealthy Affiliate and make money online following the steps and principles that WA teaches.

One common objections that I hear people saying goes something like this,

"I am not good enough. I don't have any prior skills or experience."

Well, let me tell you a secret,

You are good enough! :)

I didn't have any prior experience of affiliate marketing or Internet marketing when I got started at Wealthy Affiliate. I didn't even know what "affiliate marketing" means.

Even Kyle & Carson (founders of Wealthy Affiliate) have started from nothing a long time ago.

Even the best of the best in this world have one day started from point 0

Every single person on this planet starts from nothing.

The difference is that some people stay at 0 saying, "I'm not good enough." while others go out there, learn the lessons and take action.

How many times an average person tries?

Do you know how many times people try on average before they quit?

Less than once.

Because most people don't try at all! 😆

If you are trying, you can already give yourself a pat on the back. You're doing better than most!

REALITY: Most new WA members start without ANY experience or knowledge

I've been a member here for 4 years and I have first-hand seen 1,000's of people starting out.

Many new members say, "I don't have any experience of this but I am eager to learn."

That's an awesome attitude.

If you are eager to learn, you are in a good place.

"But I don't have this or that..."

People often blame different things why they don't succeed.

Have you heard a classical story of two brothers who were brought up by an alcoholic father?

They both had a similar childhood, similar enviroment, same alcoholic father, etc. etc.

Later on, Brother A becomes an alcoholic and people asked him, "Why did you become an alcoholic?"

He replied, "I became an alcoholic because of my father. It's in my genes."

Brother B didn't become an alcoholic and he actually became extremely successful in life. People went to him and asked, "How come you didn't become an alcoholic like your brother?"

He replied, "I didn't become an alcoholic because of my father. I saw what happened to him and I didn't want to make the same mistakes."

Brother A used the same circumstance as an excuse while Brother B used it as a motivator to do better in life.

Let's take this back to making money online...

If you have ANY laptop or ANY Internet connection, you CAN do this. No excuses.

I was so frugal that I built a full-time income online with the cheapest laptop that I found from the store and I saved money with the Internet connection because didn't want to pay more for a faster one.

(Fortunately, I realized at some point that it's good to buy a better laptop and an Internet connection but I had already achieved some results at that point.)

So, if you are a person starting out remember these words:

YOU ARE GOOD ENOUGH! Get started and you'll learn everything along the way.

There are +1,7 million people here in the community to help you out so you'll never be left alone.

If you are new, I recommend taking a look at the following resource: Ways to Ask Questions at Wealthy Affiliate.

Roope you are good enough man !

Thanks Garry! You are too! High five! ;)

GREAT post! I've only been here for 2 months and it can be a struggle at times because I am dealing with an inadequate computer and internet. Like you, I had no knowledge of how to run an affiliate business ... so much to learn!
There are times I wonder if it is worth it to keep plugging away, and then a post like this comes up. Thank you so much for the encouragement. It is what makes WA so worth it.

Beautiful absolute stats Roope and so true!

Good story, Roope. I'm here for the long haul. I am sure if I stick it out long enough, I'll achieve success. I am old enough that I can say, "I'll either succeed or die trying." That's the longest guarantee I can make.

What a great quote! Awesome to hear that you are in this for a long haul. I'm sure I'll see you achieving your goals!

You don't do - you never get.
Loved your story, Roope!

True words!

I know right - when people say "but I'm not computer literate".... Ummmmm, hang on a minute, is any human born computer literate? No lol - we all learn. What they really are saying "but I'm not computer literate and I can't be bothered to learn".

That's true. Good "translation" :) hehe

I’ve been on here for 6 months. I can tell you, I started with zero skills how to create a website. This platform courses has enabled me to learn how to do it step by step. Now, I am getting better at it and more comfortable with the word press dashboard. Its an awesome journey and looking forward to more. Thanks, Roope. Good post to use this for people resist the idea of joining due to fear that they cant do it or have no skills. This platform teaches you how to gain those skills step by step.

Thanks for sharing your experiences Brenda!

Nice motivational post, what you had said is true most of the people don't take consistent action, I am defeated by lazyness to be honest

What causes the laziness? Maybe you can analyze what causes it in your life and change something? I'm also fighting against it sometimes :D

I don't know what causes laziness

This is truly an eye-opener. I was feeling a bit down lately, because I wasn't being as productive for the past few days as I should have been, but this post just gave me some hope.

Hard work is dreadful to me, and that's the main reason why I joined this community, to force myself to be more productive, and started learning all of the steps required to help me succeed in the online business field.

Thank you so much for this post! I hope you have a wonderful day ahead you Roope!

Best wishes,
Oggy :)

Thank you Oggy. Keep on moving forward and you'll make it ! :)

Roope, yes, you are good enough! Blame only backfires. I had an alcoholic father. I'm not an alcoholic!
Good post.
Joe

Thanks for sharing Joe! All the best to you!
