If You Build It, They Will Come!
Who doesn't remember that old 80's movie, "Field of Dreams"? Maybe the one's who weren't born around that time, but maybe you had parents who watched that movie! If you ever get the chance to watch it, please do! It's an oldie, but a goodie! My all time favorite line in that movie, which I think is everyone's favorite line from that movie! A farmer hears a voice commanding him "If you build it, they will come" He assumes it's a voice commanding him to build a baseball field in his farmer's field, while he listens, builds it, and the Chicago Whitesox who were thrown from the game many years ago, shows up to use his baseball field, and this unknown farmer becomes famous! The tagline from the movie says, "If you believe the impossible, the incredible can come true. " I wanted to use this example to encourage members of Wealthy Affiliate to keep believing in yourself, keep moving in on through the courses, and build those amazing blogs!
Because......
If you build them, they will come! Meaning, the people, the traffic, the visitors...the buyers for your affiliate links...then the money will start coming in! :)
I'm sure Kyle and Carson started out with just a little dream of an online business of helping people, making money, and marketing it! They started to build and probably ran into road blocks (probably many of them)! They kept building, and they listened to that voice in their heads! "If You Build it, They Will Come!" Well, they are still adding to WA, still improving it with amazing features, and what we have now is an amazing program that teaches us, believes in us, helps us along, so we can learn from them, and now that little idea is what we are a part of today! They built it, and we came! People in the thousands came!! Follow those courses, ALL of them, build those Niche blogs, and a master blog to help advertise your WA affiliate site, and they WILL come! Thanks, Kyle and Carson for an amazing program that I am honored and proud to be a part of!
P.S If anyone needs any Niche ideas, you can look through my post about Niches!
Good luck to everyone's success at Wealthy Affiliate!

Thanks for this Terry, love Field of Dreams and I always cry when you see them all coming to play. Xx
Yes Terry, that was actually an awesome movie and this is an awesome post. The reality is that we must first build it before they can come. Keep up the great work, hearing good reports about your progress.
Even though I thought Kevin Cosner was such a cutie pie, I never saw that movie! I'm sure it had to do with my intense dislike for baseball! Years have passed and I still don't like the game!
But since I have a deep love for good movies, especially inspirational ones, I'll definitely have to see if I can find it on Netflix...they have just about every movie ever made!
Great analogy, Terry!
