I felt compelled to write this post after reading Loes blog post that you can read on the link below.

It is great that Wealthy Affiliate has a ranking system and I think to some degree it is very encouraging to watch your ranking increase. However, and this includes me, we have to be careful not to focus on our ranking and not neglect our own business.

I have been at Wealthy Affiliate for almost 4 years and I guess I had ambassador status for around three months, however, it does take quite a bit of work to stay there. I lost my ambassador status after having three weeks holiday in Greece in August and then have a lot of catching up to do on my off-line business and online business.

I must admit that it is nice to have ambassador status and this probably helps to give you a bit of punch on the Internet, but it isn't everything!

My ranking at Wealthy Affiliate is down to 57 at the moment, does this matter? No, not at all! I know that I have many jobs to do on my online business and also to keep my off-line business going which is actually working really well. The most important aspects of our business is is to earn money and this should be our main priority.

I believe that there have been many ambassadors here at Wealthy Affiliate who haven't actually made a penny online or very little and have now disappeared completely, sadly. I also believe that there are many people here at Wealthy Affiliate who are not ranking particularly high but are highly successful! And of course we also have some highly successful ambassadors here too, which is fantastic!

I was reading a success post from Ralph the other day, he ranks at 237 presently and has a wonderful success story, which is all because he carried out the Wealthy Affiliate training and took action. Two years ago he did not know a thing about affiliate marketing, a fantastic story, you can read Ralph's success story on the link below.

So to conclude, the ranking system is great at Wealthy Affiliate and we will go up and down the ranking system, but the most important thing is that we take action and start earning money online.

Thank you for reading and be encouraged.

Hi Roy, thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts on Ambassador status. I personally agree with your view of the ranking system and it should be secondary to one's objective and that is to be successful at our online endeavours.

It is however a shame that in light of everything that Loes has meant to the success of others, her commitment to this cause hasn't secured her the recognition as the ambassador that she actually is. I can wander off into what that role is and the definition but I think we all understand what it is so I won't do that now.

I'm not going to even pretend that the post yesterday never came as a shock to me and countless others. The biggest lesson for me was how transient everything in life is. Absolutely nothing in our world is cast in stone. We think we know what's important and focus all our energies on that goal believing that it will last indefinitely. Nothing does and it would be a good idea to adopt an eternal perspective on everything that we put our hand to.

Loes' philosophy is to benefit the community and share her experience, expertise and knowledge. My goodness me has anyone here put together a tutorial of 50 pages EVER? That's just one of her tutorials! That alone speaks volumes of her dedication and it is a shame that there are some people who hold a position in the Top 25 and are seen as ambassadors when in fact they simply are not. They're just very busy doing not too much.

I've said enough. Thanks again for your post.

Nice comments Brian!

It’s a topic that will keep arising I’m sure. I made a small comment on Loes’s Post. Some things just don’t make sense sometimes!

She provides such wonderful things and of course we have to be careful on April 1 when she’s around.

I trust you are very well my friend!

Wayne

Hi Wayne, liked your comment on Loes' post. I also noted that a long overdue PM to you is on the cards for today. Be on the look-out.

Brian

@buffetearns @BrianCh Thank you for your comments Brian and Wayne, I do understand what you're saying and it is hard, incidentally, I noticed that Loes is ranking at number 17 as I write, so she is an ambassador again!

I believe that there are well over a million members here at Wealthy Affiliate, I appreciate that many of these members are not actually active, but quite a few are. I believe as more and more members sign up for Wealthy Affiliate, it will become more challenging to become an ambassador.

Wishing you both an excellent weekend.

Roy

Good valid points again Roy, thank you!

Bless her, next week she’ll be there at number one! Lol

My sense of humour is going to get me banned! Lol

Wayne

Sadly enough, Roy, many seem to forget the main reason for joining this exceptional community...

It's true James, if we are not careful it can become like Facebook!

Enjoy your day and thank you for commenting.

Roy

Most of Facebook is a waste of time. People here should have a constructive attitude towards their site, and learn how to monetise it...

James

Absolutely true dear Roy. When I wrote my blog that I became one of the top 100. Many told me to pay attention to my business. Yes, it is nice to have a high rank but the best thing is to improve one"s business.

This is so true Rania, I would love to have more time to read people's blog posts and comment on them, but we have to prioritise our businesses.

Enjoy your weekend.

Roy

Thank you Roy for this information!

Best wishes
Ulrika

Roy

So True Roy- Do what we can in the community but most important is we build a successful business as that is why we are here at WA
Vicki

Thank you for your comments Vicki, well said?

Enjoy your weekend.

Roy

Well said, I 100% agree.

Thank you for taking the time to comment Phil, I do appreciate it.

Roy

Hey Roy, this is so fantastic... this is what i have been waiting to know.. great post Roy.

Thank you, I appreciate you taking the time to comment.

Enjoy your weekend.

Roy

I totally agree with you ..I put ambassadorship into proper perspective

1. 100% commitment to my online business

2. Concentrate slowly on the training

3. Help new members who are stuck where I can if I can

4. Ambassadorship is a privilege but It’s not my obsession to reach no 1.

5. Earning a lucrative amount of money at Wealthy Affiliate is my top priority and my goal

Very wise words Richard, your words make a great blog post!

I appreciate you taking the time to comment and I wish you every success in what you are doing.

Roy

Well said, to earn and have a stable income online is what we aim for why we joined WA, but to be in rank is nice, too. Whatever may be, we make sure our business prevails.

Thank you for your reply Eli, I agree with you, rank is nice, but we have to put our business first.

Roy

I totally agree you have to put your life into perspective as the most important thing is your business and your well being!


Francesca

Indeed Francesca, I hear you.
