Are You Protective Of WA Like I Have Become Lately?

OK, so as you all know, I am taking part in SAC, and so I am finding myself reading a lot of material about Wealthy Affiliate, so recently I was going through some reviews of Wealthy Affiliate on YouTube, just to get a rough idea as to what to do and how to do a video review when I finally start posting on YouTube.

So anyway, I came across one review that was done by someone who claims that he had joined WA to try it out so he can decide whether to recommend it to his subscribers or not, to cut the long story short, his review was not based on facts and this got me very angry.

I was yelling at my computer, to a point where husband had to come and check if all was alright, the thing is and I mentioned this on my latest article on my website, I don't mind a negative review if it's based on facts, but when someone claims that they have been here in Wealthy Affiliate and then say that, you only get training to promote WA.

And that the community is made up of people who don't know what they are doing and that asking a question to the community is like asking a question in class that has no teacher, ooh that got my blood boiling.

I wouldn't be where I am without the WA community

Feel so bad for someone who is looking for ways to learn Affiliate Marketing like I was for so many years and if they come across such a video, it's misleading and they will miss out on opportunity to start their business online.

So I have taken it upon myself to make a YouTube video and dispute those things that were said in that video. I am scared of camera but the anger I feel about that particular video, will give me the courage to create my video very soon, I have my YouTube channel already I just need to create videos.

I think in order to give a negative review, one has to try the program and really talk about things they don't like based on facts. I would never discredit a program without having firsthand experience with it or at least doing lots of research to give a fair negative review.

When I joined Wealthy Affiliate, I was very skeptical and even as I paid the $19 for the first month, I was still skeptical and I was doing things with one eye half shut, if you know what I mean, because I was thinking any minute now I will find out that all this is not real.

I will click to go to the next lesson and I will be told I have to pay more money, if you have been in those programs that do that, then you know exactly what I am talking about. You pay the initial fee, then you take the first lesson, and then you cannot move to the next one without paying more money.

When I tell you that I went through the entrepreneur certificate very quickly, it's because I kept saying OK lets see if I can move on to the next lesson, then when I finish that I would say OK how about the next one?

We have a wonderful thing here at Wealthy Affiliate

This program is the best thing that has ever happened to me, I finally got to learn how people make money online, the thing is, I kept reading articles on the internet about people working from home and making money on the internet and at some point I thought those stories were fantasies, I thought they were fake stories.

Because everything I tried did not work, and to be honest when I came across that article that led me here, It was a very long article but for some reason, the guy was talking to me as if he knew what I had gone through, all the failures I had faced in my attempts at making money online he listed them one by one.

At some point I thought he had been watching me over the years ( paranoid I know lol) So I was reading the article and I was thinking OK who is this guy, I even posed and went to read his about me page. Anyway, I finished reading the article and there was no way I wasn't gonna click on the link he provided.

I told myself well, here we go again to be honest I was very suspicious, because I was thinking OK there is no way you are gonna let me use everything within the program for 7 days for free, like no way. Then I saw that I could upgrade for $19, I din't even let the 7 days finish I upgraded and waited to see what up sale I will get.

I waited and I got non apart from being reminded that if I go yearly, I will save more money, at this point I bloged right here and asked why I had not found Wealthy Affiliate earlier, I could tell that the community was like yeah yeah, just another newcomer being all excited.

It was the right time for me to go yearly

Bet most thought I will leave soon enough after finding out that I will not make money withing 2 months, then I upgraded my subscription to yearly, best decision I ever made, and I did at the right time too because if I had stayed with the monthly, I probably would have left by now because I have gotten lots of un expected expenses that would've made it difficult for me to make my WA subscription.

Now I know a while back I made a post about the frustrations I was facing with Amazon and how I had not made any sales and some people thought that post was about me being frustrated about not making money, but that was not the case, I just wanted to see some progress so I can be encouraged that I am doing things right.

I know and more so now that I have been here In WA this being my 5th month, I have learned that money will take some time to start piling up but I am willing to put the time and the work because I know when it starts coming although to be honest it has started I just checked my Google adSense and I have made $2 OK it's not something to quit day job over but hey, it's a start.

Conclusion

I want to say special thanks to all the wonderful people who have always been coming to my rescue, to be honest sometimes I tell myself OK Rose now you are being pain in the... by asking all these questions, but then I say well, if I don't ask, how will I know?

So, thank you so much guys I appreciate your help and you taking the time from your work to answer my questions or to comment on my posts, thank you so much. Lets keep working hard on making our dreams come true.

In my language we have a proverb that says if a person is hard-working, they will always acquire what they set out to acquire.

Thank you so much for your time and please leave me a like and a comment.

I think this is my longest post here at WA so far guess I had a lot to say today.

Rose.

Hi Rose, You can be as protective of WA as you want to be because this is a wonderful platform. It was designed to help others so you are not being a pain.

If you don't ask questions you will not be able to learn that is why I can't stress enough to ask questions and take notes on the videos. This will help you out because you will have something to refer back to.

You just keep on doing what you are doing and things will be fine. And you are doing fine, so no worries

Hi Ropa,

Sorry that you had to get upset at that guy. He missed the point. He could have developed skills to do Affiliate Marketing for anything using the OEC training.

If you come across anyone who states that WA teaches members to promote WA, that is what Affiliate Marketing is all about. WA would be amiss if they did not offer an Affiliate Marketing opportunity for their own product.

This is his loss. I hope he is not a member anymore.

Cheers.

Edwin

He wasn’t joining to learn, he is an Affiliate Marketer he was joining to check the program out so he can decide if its worth recommending to his subscribers. Then he said our wonderful WA deserves to be in a trash can and he had a big trash can behind him 😡

Unfortunately there will always be people out there that feel their product is superior to WA and may not do their homework before making their opinions known.
It’s a great reminders for us to make sure we give ‘all the facts’ when we review products especially those we haven’t used ourselves! That way people can make up their own minds!
WA is the best platform for me and I’m grateful for the quality and supports I have received here!

Great post Ropesa. Let me know if you do that video for YOUTUBE. If I can be of any assistance let me know, I don't know anything about YOUTUBE but if I can help in any way......
It was also the best decision I have made in a long time when I went yearly. I wanted to prove to myself that I was in WA for the long run.
Great writing Ropesa.

Hi Rose. I understand what you feel about being protective of WA.
but I also understand that some people will not be satisfied for whatever reason and get their joy from putting down something that they don't like.
That's OK, in my mind if someone wants a quick rich scheme they are not going to be happy here. Success takes work.
Love your proverb too.
Thanks for sharing.

Hi Rose,
Thanks for sharing. I have lived throug your writing and felt very positve about WA, I am sure with your dedication you will attain your objectives. Good luck.

Thank you Ropsa for sharing.
That guy you referred to is just a tipical example of how many people matches on a raw gold that has not been refined and goes away begging still because they did not bend down to carefully inspect to know that it was gold that they had just stepped on.
Cheers.

I have been in WA for quite a while and haven't created a website to promote WA. It's a lie if someone say, this platform is for only for promoting WA. You may not always find what you want on Live Chat but the help center is great.
When I first started, I added WA banner, but now it's not there since it's not relevant.

Thanks for sharing.

I watch things like that all the time, and of course, I get defensive when people make false accusations. I'll do the video with you if you want. Let me know.

Wow! I love that idea.

Let's do it!

Absolutely, I am in

Really nice blog agree 👍 100%
