Who is REALLY earning?

Who is REALLY earning?

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to ask a frank and direct question; "Who is actually earning a sustained income from doing what WA suggests?"

I think the WA platform is great, its training is very good, together with the community on here, well clearly you guys rock! Although I have only been on here about 3 weeks, I do not see much in the way of real success stories. Sure I see those who make their first commission or those who made some cash after 2/3 years of trying, but I see little in the way of people saying 'Hey I am making a steady income from 1/2/3 sites that has allowed me to 'x, y,z' ' type thing.

I know all to well build a brand takes time, I am not seeking a get-rich-quick scheme but (and it may just be me) I feel the WA platform for many is a micro community that exists inside the boundaries of the platform and that the successes in terms of rankings are just to keep people subscribing. Again I am not wishing to cause a revolt, I am just not seeing much from individuals in the way of success. It may well be that I am just not seeing the posts and that they do exist, but I ask again,

'Who is actually a sustained income from doing what WA suggests?'

When the training is complete, what then? I am genuinely interested to hear your honest story, I do not want to read comments saying that I am impatient, as I am not. What I am though is inquisitive and I just want to understand whether this REALLY works or whether we have all become muddled up into the hype of the WA program, each month paying our subscription in the hope it gets us rich!

This is all part of my evaluation process for the future, do I remain Premium or do I go elsewhere and get good hosting and SSL from another provider for less of an annual subscription? I know JAAXY is a great tool, but other than that, what REAL benefits do you get from interacting on WA that you wouldn't necessarily get from engaging on one of the many free bloggers support forums out there?

Interested in your views, and please do not think I am going renegade against WA, I am not, I was always taught to be cautious and so I am putting my concerns out there to be proved wrong.

What are your thoughts?

Here is to your success and an awesome day :)
