A Better Measure of Success than Income Might be This.

We're all here to make money online. There's no doubt about that.

But we also know there are a million sleezy ways to do that. We've seen them all, right?!

I'm so glad that Kyle and Carson teach us the right way to do it --- which is by creating content that actually HELPS people.

So in this post, I want to share my stats that show I'm actually helping people and I hope you leave a comment here that shows the rest of us how you're helping people to!

First is a screen capture of my "thumbs up vs thumbs down" in one of my YouTube videos:

And then here are some comments from this same tutorial video:

So remember that the key to making your online business work is to create content that really helps people.

And maybe you end up getting feedback that isn't so good. What then? Well...listen to the comments and the feedback. If they say that your instructions are not clear, then spend more time making it clear!

One thing I notice is that those 3 dislikes showed up kinda recently. The video is pretty old and I think it needs to be updated.

I just added that to my "content to make" list. :)

OK, show me some "proof" that your content is helping people! We'd love to see it.

To your success!

Ryan

We all have to crawl before we learn to walk and talk. We this day and age are trying to rush an cut corners, falling over and walking away. Slow down learn the ABC before trying to jump to the top of a ladder. One foot at a time is life.

Not really sure how that's relevant to this post Tom. :)

Nothing to show yet Ryan, only just created the site. I’d like to think further down the road, I would be in a position to offer meaningful and sincere directions that people can use practically!

I am just feeding off others at the moment until I gain some confidence and develop new skills.

Never been a person to misguide anyone for my own gains, so good, honest and genuine support! It takes time to build the skill set required to help others competently.

If I’m not achieving that then I’ll know and take some other action?

I built a successful career as a Quantity Surveyor in construction based on hard work an integrity. WA is just me starting from the beginning of a new career with the same ethics!

I will be only to pleased to Bragg some success if it is supportive in WA community.

Members want to see results and what it takes to generate an income that is sustainable.

Have a great day!

Hi Wayne,

I appreciate the honesty.

So you have a Top 50 ranking within WA...but you're just starting out with your website and you're not making money from affiliate marketing yet, is that correct?

You're in learning mode - and there's nothing wrong with that. Being helpful is the name of the game as far as building a real online business. So you're on the right path!

I am still some WA members can show me the proof outside of the WA platform that their content (blog posts, videos, etc) have really helped people - via likes, comments, etc.

Not sure why no one has been able to share that with me. A bit disheartening, to be honest.

Take care and have a wonderful day!

Thanks Ryan

That’s correct my website is only two days old, so no income generated yet.

I hear what you are saying. Can you not select random sites, perhaps from the top 20, identity comments, likes dislikes and draw up some conlusions?

I think you are hoping for detailed analytics from other members ?

If successful websites are doing really well, Would members be reluctant to share tactics in detail?

I hope you receive a few more responses from your post, they often trickle in.

Good idea. I'll probably do more research on the top 50 WA members and see what (if anything) is working for them on this "how are you helping" front that I want to know more about.

Thanks!

Cheers Ryan

Have a great week ahead! Catch up again!

We all want to make money. We should be aiming for the quality of life that money can help us provide for our family.

I hear ya Tom. But the WAY we make money is important. We want to be authentic and helpful to the people that come to our websites. So that's what this blog was about. I want us to share the proof we have that people appreciate the information we are giving them. Do you have anything like that to share? Like comments, or likes on your posts?

1

Hi thank you. Great insights.
Best wishes for 2018
Regards Debs ;-)

Hi Deborah!
Hope you are well!
Have a great day!

Thanks Deb! Would love to know how you’ve helped someone in your niche site. :)

This is great, Ryan!
Great attitude as well.

Thanks David. Do you have any measures of success on being helpful you can share (besides having a Top 50 WA rank - which is remarkable, by the way)?

I'd love to see what your happy customers are saying! :)

Currently, I maintain a personal blog in the self-improvement/ relationship niche. I am in the process of publishing two books. When those are finished, then I will be monetizing my site.
Not much to offer as yet. I can PM you the site.
Good question.

Al the best!

David

Cool! I’d love that. :)

1

Monetizing is just another form of acclaim!

1

Thanks! Do you have any "proof" of happy people you've helped as an affiliate marketer? Would love to see it...

1

My threads are so filled with endorsing comments I don't keep track!

I'd love to see it! PM a popular blog post you have or a screen capture of all those endorsing comments! I'd love to see it. :)

You can pick through my almost 1500 posts and gauge reactions

I wasn’t more thinking on your niche websites. Not within WA.

1

Right now my WA activities are my main endorsement. Visit my clearcopy site on my profile for most developed site

Just curious. WA is the training platform and community. We come here to help others and ask for help. But we can’t make money “in here”. So looking for examples of how members have helped people “out there”. Sorry if I’m not able to communicate this more clearly.

You are doing great work keep it up
