A huge part of online success is building a name for yourself.
Remember this: people buy from people the trust. You need to gain trust within your niche and your community.
You need to get your name out there in every way you can. Make sure Wealthy Affiliate members know who you are.
If you post a blog does it get sucked into the void of nothingness or do you immediately have action on your profile?
If you post training do you immediately get likes, comments and feedback?
And yes training is a huge part of building authority for yourself. You might think you know nothing and that you have nothing to give... well come on of course you do. There is something you know that others don't.
If you have been with WA for 3 months you are able to add training. Think about this, have you at any stage searched for something within WA and not found training on it? Yes of course you have and that is why you posted a question to other members right?
Well take that question you had when you were a newbie and turn that into training for others.
The reason WA is such an incredible community is because we can all add to what is here. We can as a whole make this the most comprehensive online training platform in the world. Ok I suspect it already is, but the point is that there is always a chance to improve something. It is never complete, so keep adding to it.
Are you promoting WA? Well yes a lot of us are right?
If you have training with your name stamped on it and you are referring people here imagine their respect and trust going up 10 notches when they see you have training to your name and respect within this community?
Imagine them seeing all the training here, that everyone is adding.
Yes we all pay $47 a month to be here, if course but we can all make sure that we can so much more value for that $47!
I think there is nothing really wrong with it as long as the ranking chaser is genuine to help other members too. What goes around comes around :)
Wish you success again Lynne.
I know you've been through a lot in your life and I applaud you for getting out there and being fearless. All the best to you.
