This ex-empower network user just became a yearly premium member
It was the day after Easter, April 21st 2014 when I stumbled upon a video posted by a guy on YouTube claiming he made $357 a day using a free system. That moment completely changed my life, as it was as if the idea that had been swimming through my mind the past few months "how can I make money passively?" was about to come true through this simple 3 step system.
As you may have guessed, I got suckered into that well known pyramid scheme known as the Empower Network, along with the other notorious scheme Pure Leverage. I ended up spending literally hundreds of dollars on advertising through Google, Facebook, everything, all without having a single website set up. This system promised me it would do the work for me if I just paid for advertising...and I literally made NOTHING. I was out of that thing within 2 months, and became very discouraged. Having lost nearly $1,000, it was the most disappointing things that has ever happened to me.
However, I did not quit.
I learned from my mistakes, and I began to realize that had I not gone through what I went through for those couple of months, I wouldn't be where I am right now today. Trial and error is the best teacher.
Eventually I stumbled upon a guy named Jay Wessman, creator of LazyAssStoner.com, on YouTube and learned a TON from him on Affiliate Marketing. I even bought his Screw95 course that taught me LOADS about the Affiliate Marketing world. That training truly helped deepen my understanding of Affiliate Marketing and made me realize that this thing is actually possible. Through this training, I made my first few websites and actually made a couple bucks from them. It was truly an exciting experience.
In between these two experiences, I also made an account here at WA just because I saw it was free to sign up for. The site originally looked really cluttered to me, and I was initially turned off by it because I was still hoping my tenure in Empower Network would pay off. However, after I officially quit EN, I decided to look more into WA and see if this was something that I could really pursue and go hard after. After watching a few of the Affiliate Bootcamp videos and reading some of the testimonies about WA, it started to become more and more clear that WA was something I wanted to be apart of.
And so, here I am, a yearly subscriber. I'm excited, and I plan on making this investment the best, most beneficial investment of my life. I believe that one year from now, I will be making sustainable passive income online.
Thanks everyone for reading my story!

Hi. We have the same story which includes continuing our search for online legitimacy...And here we are at WA and EN is a distant memory. All the best to you.
Tommy, I was also an EN affiliate and I spend 6,000 on it. I went all the way in, plus pay in solo ads more than 500.00 plus monthly fees, as you may know. What I dislike the most is that I do not get answer to my emails leaving me behind everybody else, because if you have a question you are stuck. If you do not have a coach that follow your questions you are left behind and you can not choose another sponsor. I really love the spirit and the power messages of David Wood. I stay 2 years really believing I can make it. But if you don't get responses you go no where unless you are an expert in marketing. I am amaze by WA, am planning to go step by step and I am delighted of all the people ready to assist you. Welcome here. I have only 2 days.
Hey Andrew I get emails from that ILN website, pain in the butt. I believe the owner of ILN use to be one of the top earners in the Empower network and he's affiliated with another guy called Paul Darby, watch out for this guy. I researched this guy and the reviews, lets say he doesn't have a good rep.
I can relate to your story, because I have been through similar stuff. I was hoping from MLM to MLM with the promise of having the work practically done for me. I never fell for the empower network, but I have fallen victim to a scheme that's almost as bad: neucopia. People still to this day try to sell me on crap products such as wake up now or internet lifestyle network. Thankfully I have evolved and it is hard to get me sucked into a scheme nowadays. I think that I am finally in relatively good hands with wealthy affiliate.
Good move Tommy quitting the Empower Network, can't believe that program is still aloud to run online. You made a very wise decision joining WA, after all where could you find this amount of training on the Internet for a measly $47.00 per month. Congratulations Craig
Certainty would of thought so, now these people have shifted to another program to scam people. I heard the Empower Network has been banned from just about every social media network.
People have to disguise themselves in a different program to make themselves seem legitimate.
