My Christmas Gift Came in Just in Time
Today marks my two month anniversary within this community.
I am well overdue for WA blogs but at least I am keeping pace with my monthly update reports.
I shall then take you through my observations, my performance and my 2 cents going into the New year.
What I am Seeing So Far
Kyle and others have mentioned that this community is made of almost 2 million people ?
Not exactly sure about the accurate number but I only see ranking up to 300;s thousands, so where are the other souls ?
Are they in Ghosts land ?
So let''s assume that the 400K or so are the "active" participants hence they are entitled to a ranking.
Out of all of these, I only see a few hundred in Jay's training (granted, one can replay it later with the flexibility of pausing and following allow with the hands-on ones) but still, it is puzzling to me.
Another Exhibit is the number of Likes/Comments on the internal WA blogs (most of which are just Golden if you ask me - more on this later).
I have counted just a few hundred at most Likes/Comments on articles from the Superstars here like:
- Tiffany
- Nathaniell
- Israel
- Robert a.k.a Boomergp08
- Smartketeer
Just to name a few..
A couple of things before I move further.
If YOU are a superstar here at WA and wondering why your name is not the above List, well, get to me and we shall discuss :-)
No seriously, I just had to pick the first that came to my mind but going forward, I am accepting ALL Lobbying in 2020 to make it in Telex's Top 10 WA Superstars :-) !!
Secondly, for newcomers who are NOT familiar with what makes these folks Superstars, well STOP reading immediately and Click on their profiles...(hint, focus on the top right-hand side) No, please keep reading this article and then Immerse yourself with the Superstars.
Anyways, Where was I ?
Yes, I was scratching my head about the lack of engagement observed here by the majority of the members.
Am I off base or my small 60 days sample observation does not in any way shape or form represent the true nature of what's going on ?
Let me know your thoughts in the comments please.
As for me, when I have not been observing, analyzing the meanders of WA, well I have been writing relevant quality content non-stop.
This has yielded the following results.
Without any further delay, here is my:
2-Month Report
I have published 31 articles making it just sightly over 3 per week.
I have been mindful not to burn out and find a balance to sustain this nice rhythm.
Yesterday, I stumbled upon this.
Yahoo/Bing has ranked not One, not Two, not Three, not Four, but Five different posts/pages on its first page my friends !!
A couple of the ranked articles were published less than 30 days ago.
Furthermore, to my surprise, as shown above, two of the keywords that generated the rankings are not even direct targeted keywords.
Meaning that those top two keywords are just the result of an association made from my content in those two articles.
One of the five Superstars depicted above has actually given his testimony and training about this not a long time ago..I leave it to you to find out which one !!
In his training, we were encouraged not to be afraid to write even if we did not have a keyword and even further, to explore words make sense within our niches but are not present in Jaaxy!!
What ???? That is blasphemy !! Sensei Kyle taught us to target Low QSR keywords.
True, but he also mentioned that our contents natural writing will determine our rankings.
Who better than those who have been thriving at this business for many years to provide nuggets like these ?
So now what ?
Well, I am fully aware that mighty Google 1st page remains elusive BUT if nothing, this is my proof that I am on the right path.The process works.
Hence I shall keep on keeping on. This quote is from another Superstar (not listed above, do you know her :-) ?
Before I go though, allow me to leave some of my fellow members my 2 cents for free.
One For the Comments
Please pretty please, I implore each commenter here to take hold of the fact that comments are an integral part of our contents !!!
How so ? Please read this from...a Superstar of course.

Therefore, this is a tremendous opportunity we have to help each other out.

Interesting article;
I have been at many other places trying to learn about internet marketing and this is the best site I have been in - bar none.
I do not know about the total population of people here - most of them I am sure are inactive. Most came here and signed in for the free sight, took a look around, and left never to be seen again.
The highest numbers are in the 300,000s like you said - I suppose these are those who have taken some activity even though many of these never become premium.
After I joined, I learned I had many holes in my knowledge especially about how to get a good website done, which theme to pick and took some time off to actually take a few courses to better understand that process.
I am now writing 2000 - 2500 page blogs every day, and trying to get content into the site first and then worry about marketing, etc. I am going to get another site up as soon as I can figure out a good site name - LOL - that is sometimes a difficult choice.
I am starting a WordPress tutoring site to help people develop their own site - actually code almost everything with only a few plugins as needed. Many people may not want that but I found the knowledge invaluable.
After about six months of hours a day studying, classes, more classes I can now make duplicate almost any site. My only difficulty is the imagination to make a good site.
There are people here for years who have not made a cent but enjoy making sites which help people rather than raise money.
There are others here who are not always the "superstars" because you do not need to have WA rank to be very successful - although it helps. These others have 4-5 figure incomes a month and are too busy with their sites and making more sites to interact with WA members, answering questions, etc. There's one young man in China / Hong Kong who is really doing well, teaching marketing in Chinese.
Anyway, I have said too much. We each have to forge our own path in this internet world - some for money, some for pleasure, some to help people in their spiritual life with no thought of money, some just to learn something new.
I will occasionally go out and write comments but I find that very tedious - and frankly have to evaluate a long blog in which I have no interest - then think of something nice to say. I usually can spend my time better helping members elsewhere.
Happy Holidays!
Dave.
Okay let me bust the bubble LOL Who cares? Fact of the matter is are you acquiring knowledge and getting what you need from WA? That should be the determinant here right? And sure we are all human and definitely err in many ways all the time - we are not perfect beings by a long shot - so what is the big deal? Am I missing the point in all of this jabber?
... good questions Lita! ... all the best in getting them answered! ... enjoy a brilliant holiday season, cheerio ... :)
Good Morning Telex,

Sounds like you are seeing results and that is the most important thing.
On the numbers I would guess that sure there may well have been 1.8 million people who signed up here at one time or another. As you noted that is very different from the number of active members.
If it really was a total of 2 million people and there really are 300,000 active members that is a very impressive percentage.
Anyway... I think it is completely normal as far as people not being here. If they are going through the training and working on their sites that is completely different than being here posting blogs, commenting and liking other people's posts.
Also people will not know if this is for them unless they try it, right? I am sure many people started and worked for some weeks or months then stopped simply because it just wasn't a good fit for them (no model will be right for every person). So, of course, they will fade away as time passes and go on to try other things.
Thank you for the long comment.
I totally understand your point of view.
Have a great weekend.
