Time to leave WA
I am basically paying monthly for a site I hardly use anymore or need to, but I will say this, and especially for newbies who have just joined, Wealthy Affiliate is an amazing place with a fantastic helpful community and if you are new, stick it out, WA will help you be successful.I joined up here 3 years ago so I could build an extra bit of income so I can concentrate on my writing.
Over the 3 years, WA along with other outside marketers has helped me build a few sites that bring me in enough money monthly along with some part-time work, that allows me to write more, concentrate on working for magazines and getting my first poetry collection together.
IM is not my passion, money has no meaning to me in a way as a need to buy materialistic goods etc. As long as bills are paid, passions followed (writing, cooking and personal training) then true happiness has engulfed me.
I have an IM site that promotes WA that I do not know what I will do with it hehe. I am sad to leave, but there is no point really in staying, paying money for nothing. I wish everyone here success; work hard, stick to niches you know or have passion for, and enjoy, do not worry or panic about the money part, that will come.

Wish I knew about you sooner! I'm in Co. Wexford! Would have been nice to swap stories! I wish great success in all your future endeavors! Good Luck!
You'll be missed Stephen. I understand so well that writing and poetry are your real passions. Painting is my real passion. It is a fantastic thing to be given the opportunity to learn all that WA provides. IM opens the world to you. It's a very useful skill set.
I wish you great happiness. Maybe our paths will cross again.
Thanks Joan, I will be writing on my fun site for now while I build my portfolio site here at http://therantingbeast.com/ if you would like to keep in contact, all the best and takecare.
The very best of luck with your writing.and getting your first poetry collection together. Such sound advice for newbies (which I'm not) to follow the dream -not the money - just as you have done.
Hi Sherbert Penny,
All the best to you. It's good to see that you have gained enough from WA to do what you really want to do. Plus your encouraging words to new members are invaluable. When you publish your poetry, please let me know, I'd like to take a look at it.
Follow your passion man and it has been awesome having you part of the community here at WA for the last 3 years. I hope you have a very successful journey ahead of you and you are able to fulfil all of your dreams and aspirations.
You know where to find us if you ever need us Stephen, take care man and hope to cross paths again in the future. :)
Cheers Kyle, you are both great lads, maybe if you visit Ireland one day we'll chat sports over a pint. Sure, I'll see you on FB, though I do remember a day, maybe a year ago when you made a decision to 'leave' FB haha, hard isn't it, reminds me of an episode of south park about FB.
Yeah, that is a temporary "leave of absence" although I have phased out a lot of the social banter and invested most of my activities into the community here at WA. It is much more rewarding here! :)
Take it easy man and I will definitely hit you up if I ever make it over in your area!
i like what you said "money has no meaning to me...As long as bills are paid, passions followed...then true happiness has engulfed me." Congratulations on making a positive decision for yourself. Robbie :)
You are so right about following your passion. That is where some people fail a lot at. I wish you the best with your journey.
