I made the move that I know is going to change my life
A year ago, I never thought I would have my own website online, let alone a website that will make me money. And now I have that.
I was looking online for ways to create a website when I came across an add for Wealthy Affiliate. When I first came to the website and read the first page and watched my first 3 videos I thought this was a hoax and that there was no way this place was going to give me a website for free that would actually be a website. Well even though as a starter member you really are a member of the website with access to website builder and everything you have to have a website that has a sub domain. And while at first that seems like a big deal but really it is still a real and functioning website and I thought that was absolutely amazing.
Now before I made my first website I was plenty skeptical and asked in the forums that were offered "free for the first 7 days" if Wealthy Affiliate was worth the money to pay for premium. And right away I got messages responding to my questions telling me that it absolutely was worth it. On top of that I was welcomed almost immediately by the site owners Kyle and Carson and that right there made a huge impression on me.
So sufficed to say after the first day and going through the first free course they offer here I had my very first website that I created using one of their templates. . . of course. Because programming your own would have just taken some of the fun out of your first ever website.
After having the website up and running and enjoying actually adding affiliate links to my website and writing my first blog post I knew I was hooked and hooked for good. I kept checking back every hour after I had finished just hoping someone would have shown up and made a comment.. maybe. Well unfortunately even though you do get a free site the one most glaring downside is the obvious one: You do not own your domain therefore have to have a sub-domain in your URL which in the long run is going to make it a lot longer to get your website ranked.
So knowing what I know about a community that is very responsive with very good advice and knowledge.
I Know that if I were to ever want to ask or have a question for the owners of Wealthy Affiliate I can message them and they will respond very fast and be extremely polite. " THE OWNERS" respond and respond quickly...... WHAT???
All the website templates you get for free are awesome and very modern and useful so I can only image what options I am going to have to future websites not that I am a Premium Member. I already know I am going to like it here and I think becoming a Premium Member is going to pay for itself many times over in the long run. I can only image what having my very own Domain Name and Website [that belongs to me] is going to do for me.
I want to thank Kyle and Carson for their kind words and the fact they did not cram a bunch of marketing e-mails in my mail box ( which is another reason I knew this was a legit site and they were honest and really want to help me) for an opportunity to join an awesome community with a real chance to make as much money as I want to put work into making.
And I want to think the community members that answered my skeptical questions as well as the members that were so kind to me the minute I became a Starter member.
And I can't wait to start getting lots of traffic and learning as much as I possibly can from Kyle and Carson and the rest of the Wealthy affiliate community.
Let's have fun and make some MONEY at the same time !
This is only my second blog entry including the one I made on my webpage ever.

Yeah! Let's have fun! :) This is definitely an amazing place to be, glad to see that you are really enjoying your experience here at WA. Keep up the fantastic work :D
Yup that is not the main driving force, but the next one in line. The reason I made the final commitment was knowing that having as much fun as I was having with the starter membership, I could have a much better time and a lot more resources at my disposal with a premium membership. Resources being the owners and a an active and friendly community to help me along the way
Kyle and Carson being very active in the chat here is basically what finalized my decision to go premium. That tells me they really DO care for their members here.

smnorris33 , thanks for the follow. Welcome to Wealthy Affiliate. You have just found the right place to learn all there is to know about this online marketing community and how to build a highly successful business.
Just remember, this is a marathon race, not a short sprint.
So just have in mind that this online business success is not only going to take a lot of hard work from you but also dedication and plenty of time as you cannot become successful in a day or two.
Don't be in a hurry for success. Just do things right the first time around and success will meet you the harder you work.
Follow Kyle's videos and instructions and if you get stuck....well.......that is what the community is for! Just ask and you will receive everyone’s help each other out because we all care!
