First off - what ARE the rankings here at Wealthy Affiliate? And does it matter anyway?

Very simply - when you join Wealthy Affiliate, you are assigned a number based on how many people joined before you...at the moment, it's somewhere in the 400,000's

You rank number appears at the top of your Profile Page in a mid-blue square, next to your profile pic. It also appears on top of your Profile Picture.

(This is an update just 3 days after I posted this training - doesn't take long peeps!)

And just a week later...

As you progress through the training and become involved in the community, this rank number will start to drop. I didn't even notice mine for the first few days until suddenly I realized it was coming...down...and down!

23,569...17,286...11,437...8,400...5,442...2,000...1,000...500

...and it dawned on me that it probably wasn't that difficult to become one of those 'top' people. I'd kind of thought you needed to be part of some 'inside' group or something. When I hit the Top 200, I was blown-away! I'm not an expert. My website was a mess. I was sure I didn't really have a clue about anything much. So what was I doing? And why is it important?

Thank you Ellie. It inspired me to work a little harder on my own ranking.

No problems Tom! What is the definition of success...90% inspiration and only 10% perspiration...? We all need a little help along from time to time and it actually helped ME to determine what I was doing that was helpful to my own success...and what wasn't!

Hi Ellie,

Thank you for the topic. It motivated me to keep on Building and staying active in WA.
My personal problem is time. My interests are wide, loving to learn, passing on my knowledge. WA is ideal for it.

Bless you

You're welcome Yonah! And I am so sorry - I never did get back to you with some reviews of your sites! I was so interested in the Shabbat candles one. Are you Jewish? I love the Jewish customs - they are so steeped in millenia of history with God. I have been 'away' from WA for a short break - had a lot happening and had to prioritise somewhat.
Glad you were motivated by my training!
All the best to you
Ellie

Hi Ellie, there's no harm done.
Actually I've started an even more greater passion site for me: torahlovers.siterubix.com ... and no, i'm not Jewish, a Messianic believer from the (other) nations. Follower of Yeshua (Jesus) HaMashiach (the Messiah).

Now I am really interested! What is the difference between a Messianic believer and follower of Yeshua and a Christian? I too, believe in Jesus as the Messiah. Is it just in the names or do you believe differently to a 'mainstream' Christian. I am genuinely interested.

As Messianic believers and "Talmidim" (Listeners of the Word - and following and act ing according to it) we put the words of scriptures (Torah, Psalms, prophets, b'rit Hadasha {NT}) high er than manmade tradition. Since there is no scriptural indication of 'Sunday service' or other so-called christian hollidays, we choose to follow the days and hollidays described in the Holy books (scrolls). We also believe that all man (including woman) are equal. No one is Ranked higher in authority than another.

Hello Yonah - thank you for explaining this. So you do follow the NT teachings as well? You follow 'Yeshua' - Jesus the Messiah. If I understand correctly - you are kind of a 'Gentile Jew' if that makes sense. You know - I don't think there is a great difference after all! We are what would be called 'fundamental' Christians and although we follow the tradition of 'Sunday service' as you call it, we don't subscribe to a belief in other 'traditional' Christian holidays such as Christmas and Easter. We believe in 'meeting' or gathering together (NT - 'forsake not the assembling of yourselves together) each day for prayer, worship and Bible study and we also meet early on Sunday 'Lordsday' for a 'breaking of bread' as mentioned in Acts (and the first day of the week, we being assembled to break bread)
It is interesting however, that the Jewish tradition of 'breaking of bread' was simply a custom that every family followed! I don't honestly believe that the mainstream Christian church 'communion' in any way mirrors the early Christian 'breaking of bread' in remembrance of Jesus' death on the cross.
Thank you for sharing and I look forward to more discussions if you wish.
Regards
Ellie

Interesting learned some new stuff...

So thank you, Ellie!

(But I like my icon too much, I have a picture of myself in my profile...)

That's totally fine!!! But I did find it improved MY rank when I updated from a totally unrelated ladybird, to a proper person. Then I added some extra pics and stuff too. As long as people can feel like they 'know' you, its fine whatever you use. If your icon is 'you' then that's really cool too!
