Is WA right for me?

Hello everyone,

I have been with Wealth affiliate for about 8 months now and have had my ups and downs like most but my question relates to my goals.

I need to have a better income to support my family.

Things that we need to know and understand are sometimes hard to get answers even if you can.

Why don't we have coaches that were successful or people to turn to without having to feel like you are bothering them.

Maybe I am just having a weak moment as times have been tough as of late but I think having the coaching for proper SEO is critical and even if we paid extra for it then it would greatly aid us in our online efforts.

Any thoughts?

WA is among other things a great training ground to develop ideas for more advanced endeavors like white papers and case studies!

I truly hope I never gave you that feeling like you are bothering me.

Hi Shane, I can tell you that this impression is common, though incorrect.

I remember you blogging about your first check from your online efforts and this was great to see. But then I see you posting about other programs and things you're trying, which is not bad, but it gives me the impression that you're not focusing on the one thing that's been shown to work and if it does, the only way to make it rise is to put more attention and effort into it.

We've had many of these discussions before as you obviously know and I've always said to focus on the training and blog away.

And you also that whenever you contact me, I always respond, no matter how many times it is. Rest assured, you are not bothering me, but when i answer your question with the same responses over and over, there's a reason: because what I say works. And it's just hard to see someone distracting themselves from the proven set path here in WA.

This is the secret to success online:

Find your niche.
Follow the training in WA to make your niche a business.
Stick to it.

And the last past is hard because many people just seem to naturally want to gravitate to something that may be easier or perhaps can bring more, but this is shiny object syndrome constantly coming out.

And it will always come out until you see that focusing your attention to the one site (for now) that is showing results is the way to see more from it.

I certainly hope you'll stay and increase your profits.

I haven't been here as long but I am too wondering when i'll see more!

I appreciate how you feel, Shane.

This is one flaw with the way WA operates. All members are encouraged to help each other out. But the problem is, often the most successful members are not the most active here. This means it can often seem like WA is a community of newbies all trying to help each other find the way forward.

I've started to have weekly Skype sessions with Jim-Bo where we help each other out and share ideas. I'll have to ask him, but it might be possible for you to join in?

yeah join in Shane...

We currently meet for an hour every Friday at 1:15pm UK time. Very specific, I know, but it's what fits in with the rest of my timetable for the day.

We try to decide on a list of topics in advance, but if we don't get through them all we just save them for next time.

PM me the skype info, I would love to join. I am in the U.S. eastern standard time. Correct me if I am wrong but that is 8am for me?

Thankfully I have a solid full time job which I really like and supports my family. I do WA part time as a hobby / personal project and by the looks of it after 8 months here that's the way it will stay.

I agree, seems to be a outreach for being a full time job. Don't get me wrong, I make money with what I have learned from WA but I would love to do better.

I know exactly what the senior WA members will say and I am by no means trying to stir anything up....I just merely want more out of life so I push myself.

just hang in there...WA is more a marathon than a 100m dash, thus, it is going to last longer and be more rewarding....

I hear you.

I have had some ups and downs as well, but most of it has been purely my own perception of things.

I have only had one instance of someone seeming annoyed at my questions, but it was enough to make me question everything, even though everyone else had been so great to me.

I would suggest trying to find one or two people who would be willing to work as a mentor to you. There are certain people (I am sure you have noticed many of them by now) who seem to be here ALL the time.I would try asking them politely if they would be willing to give you occasional one-on-one guidance. I would happily help you myself, but I suspect that you have a deeper understanding of things here than I do already.

I know it can be frustrating when you are trying to learn something and you can't get a response right away.I remember asking about SEO, and where I could learn more. The rather unhelpful responses I received were all along the lines of "right here!" and "just follow the lessons!" which did nothing to help, considering that I wanted to be pointed to specific lessons.

Anyhow, just hang in there. I am also here in the hopes of earning money to support my family and all I've done is spend instead, but I know that it is a matter of time before things fall into place.

Thank you for the response, all honestly I do feel that is the most popular reply when people ask about anything.

to me, " just follow the training" means they have no clue themselves.

I have went out of my way to help people, I never used the term "just follow the training" nor will I start.

I have helped people on PMs, so it was a one on one environment but that doesn't help a group.

Could you imagine if we all doubled what we know every week. WA would be unstoppable.

Oh well....I just needed to vent.

Everyone needs to vent on occasion. I am always happy to listen.

I've had fairly extensive interactions with people via PM as well. Ever since breaking the Top 200, people think I am some sort of expert, which I absolutely am not... I do, however, enjoy helping people,so if people ask me something I can help with, I do. And if I don't have the answers they need, I try to find them, which helps both of us.

I wholeheartedly agree, Craig. There have been a few people I've reached out to via PM and they have extended their help without me even asking.

I always which that someone from WA is around to help you face to face instead of by internet.

I can understand what you're going through. I'm only here two months and I've had my ups and downs too. I admit having a coach would be great but there's so many members here who have helped me so far.

Sometimes I have to research and figure things out myself and that's ok because that's how I learn.

I turn to my mentor who I signed up under and he is always there to help and he should be because once I start to sign up other affiliates, then it's my responsibility to help them too.

You shouldn't feel like you're bothering anyone at all. We're all in this together. Keep going. Get involved. Don't give up. God put us on this earth to help one another. Go for it!

I am happy to hear that you have a mentor that will aid you.

Yes it can be frustrating not knowing if what you are doing will pay off in the end or not.

I've heard many people say that after watching Jay's live webinars, it really helped them out both in creating an online business and making more money.

I view him as your own " personal coach". He covers just about any topic you can think of with his hour webinars each week.

As to the original question about SEO here are two links I found that I personally enjoyed and has helped me.

1. 2. He goes into more detail on how he personally ranks his websites and explains why they are ranking. But to be fair, a lot of what he also talks about is in the training -- which is why I think many people's response to questions is follow the training.

Hope this helps :)
