You're not earning money online? Then what are you here for?
Hey guys,
I normally don't Blog about altercations within the community but tonight I need to get this off my brain before I head back into live chat looking to help or get help.
YES!!
Everyone is looking to earn some extra cash here at Wealthy Affiliate! That's why we are here to hopefully one day quit the 9-5, secure a better retirement, or leave behind something for the offspring. Whatever the reason is yes we are driven by the idea of financial freedom.
YES!!
Wealthy Affiliate teaches us how to make money online through affiliate marketing. However, there are many more lessons within the platform than affiliate marketing. I'm learning SEO like I never knew I would be able to. I understand keyword research a lot better now and most importantly I am learning how to be more of a HELPER! And it's all included with my membership so yeah I would say Wealthy affiliate does more than just teach affiliate marketing & yes In turn you can use this SEO & keyword knowledge to earn money outside of affiliate marketing.
NO!!
Everyone is not making money or LARGE sums of money from their sites.
You see some people are not that advanced in learning something new or don't have as much time to put in to their business so it's taking longer to find success. That's totally OK This Does not give anyone the right to point out the fact that someone isn't making money.
Since I have been a member of wealthy affiliate I have been always able to lean on the encouragement of others and it is quite annoying to encounter a shift in that helpful atmosphere.
I'm not here to argue with anyone or make anyone feels less than capable but I can't sit back and witness undercover insults without saying a word. That's just been always my character I grew up where the bullies got bullied. That is my make up and if it cost me certain privileges around here then so be it.
I don't care for the know it all with no intentions on being of proper help.
With that being said I have some research and writing to do for my SAC assignments.
Signing off,
Shannon Kamal

Good afternoon my friend, I agree with you 100%. I didn't know it was such nonsense going on in our community. I never heard of a such a thing and I've been here for over a year. May you have a blessed Sunday.
That’s what really caught me off guard! I’ve been here 2 years and I’ve never encountered such foolishness.
May your Sunday be blessed as well
Agreed. Great post Shannon! We're not here to be degraded, some of us don't know what some others do know, or get it as fast. Some of us haven't been doing this for very long. As my mom used to say, "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all."
Your mom was correct as most moms usually are! And yes we all deserve a peaceful place to learn while we journey to success.
I think there are a few doing the rounds 'insidiously.' As you point out, everyone has a different set of circumstances that equates to how much or little time they can invest.
As Jim Rohn used to say "I'm working full-time on my job and part-time on my fortune"
At some point that gets reversed. Each to their own.
Shannon,
An excellent and forthright post, with which I agree totally, if people are happy to be just a community member that is there right, they pay for that right as we do who are trying to make some money. They should leave well alone.
Stuart
Very true Stuart everyone deserves the right to be here. What really made this more annoying was how this member was so aggressive in telling another that he was getting hustled by kyle.
No knowing that the guy may be having issues earning how to put together a productive site he went straight to offering him another program to join so "he can learn" how to make money online.
That's what really sent me over! Don't come on here planting seeds of discourse into members heads about them being hustled just to make yourself seem better.
Yeah we are all trying to make money but making money makes NO ONE better than the other
Thanks for sharing your thoughts
Well said Shannon. I just think some people deliberately come here to nit pick. Either that, or they blame their own inactivity on WA. Jim
It’s like you said they come here just to cause issues and it’s quite sad actually! A crummy way to live if you ask me

I am here to help those who would like or need help. If I make money along the way then fine, if not I will just have to live on my pension.

And that’s what makes WA special!
