An Online Financial Success Story?
An Online Financial Success Story?
There are not too many days that go by when I don’t log into Wealthy Affiliate to work. I have been doing so for the last three years. I do not have an online financial success story that I had hoped for by now, but that hasn’t stopped me from looking forward to doing my work each day.
Something happened! Did I click my heel three times?
I use the word “work,” but I don’t consider it work at all. I enjoy working on my website, and I am in awe of what I have learned thus far. What is so wonderful is that the learning doesn’t stop!
There is, of course, all the excellent training that Kyle has created that has surely brought me a long way in my efforts here. However, in addition to that, I learn something every day from the community members.
The community encourages me when I feel frustrated. The community clarifies and answers my questions. Members give me tips on how to earn another stream of income, and much, much more.
I feel that I have developed friendships within the community that I will hold dear for many years to come.
I enjoy a loving heart that allows me to be a natural caregiver. Wealthy Affiliate gives me the opportunity to give a helping hand to other members whenever I can. When I do, I feel a sense of satisfaction.
So, I continue to forge ahead doing all the hard work (wishing I had an assistant to help), believing in myself and in the steadfast commitment from Wealthy Affiliate that I will meet with financial success at the time God has appointed it for me.
I have met with some successes here at WA. I realize that no matter how large or small the success is, it is a success nonetheless! Take a look!
- Joined Wealthy Affiliate
- Went Premium
- Built my first website
- Wrote my first article

Top 50! How in the world did I ever make it here? It was not a conscious effort. I was only doing what I do when I work at Wealthy Affiliate; an online success maker. I try not to pay much attention to the ranking system at WA because it would be up one day then down the next. I had too much work to pay attention to that.
I don’t recall exactly how it happened, but I think something came up on my screen while I was working, I don’t know if I did something for it to go away or not. I knew it had something to do with my badges, so I went to my profile to see what it was. I was that I had hit my three-year mark with WA.
I saw something else. It showed I was in the top 50. Oh, my goodness, I thought! My WA rank was 51 then it went to 47. Who would have thought! I was so tickled!
That was when I realized that even if I don’t have an online financial success story to tell with my website, I certainly have had many successful milestones during my journey through Wealthy Affiliate. I am proud of me!
I am not making any promises about making it to Ambassador status, because like I said, I don’t pay much attention to the ranking. By chance, if someday I do make it to Ambassador status I want to be able to maintain it. At this time, I don’t know if I’m ready for that.
Well, I didn’t click my heels three times, but I did work hard. I will continue to do my work because I believe in what I am doing. I may work slower than others, but I will get there, and that’s what is important; not how fast I get there.
Today, I stand with pride for reaching yet another milestone success at WA. I thank all of you for helping me to get there.
Hope you enjoyed the article. Please hit the “Like” button to let me know.

Wonderful, Verna. The article is very good, but your true successes are what is the real point. Again I say, Wonderful! Congratulations!

Yes, I know that is the point, but until I get there I want to acknowledge that there are some small successes that I have made along the way before I reach that pot of gold. knowing that I have made some small strides is motivation for me to keep going.
Congratulations on your 3rd anniversary that is a milestone and just keep on working as you have and things will fall into place. Just keep on looking to the future and focus on that. You will have the success that you deserve. Best wishes on your endeavors and journey with WA.
Thank you. That is exactly what I intend to do. I've never been a quitter and I don't intend to start now!
Congrats and thanks a lot for the encouragement my friend, all the best and never stop moving.
Thank you. I just wanted folks to know that we should celebrate the small successes that we make on our journey. Yes, our main goal is to make a substantial income with our sites. But, until we do, we can find the things that we have accomplished no matter how small.
Completely agree, consistency is what makes the all difference, lets celebrate the small achievements and big ones will come naturally surely, cheers.
Congratulations on Top 50 rank! Here's to your success and remember....you are not alone!
Cora
Thank you, Cora. I know that from day to day the ranking will change, but at least I can say that I got there.
All will happened when it is supposed to. You are not on this journey alone. We are all here with you.
I definitely agree with you there. I surely am not on the journey by myself. I feel in my heart that when it's my time things will turn around for the better.
Thank you for those kind words.
Hello Verna. To be able to learn something new every day is a blessing itself. Knowing that we make progress every day no matter how small it is, is very satisfying. Don't you think so?
I have been here for almost 2 years now and still, no success story to share but it is alright. Am happy and proud of what I have achieved so far.
Not giving up and believe that I will get there. You and I will get there. Let's continue our learning and online journey together.
Wishing you much success.
Sharon
Those are my same sentiments exactly! I always say that it's not about how long it takes you to get there, but it matters that you get there.
Maybe you and I will get there together when it's out time!
Thanks for the encouragement.

Small successes pave the way to big successes. It's a process that you seem to be enjoying and that's the most important thing. Congratulations on all of your successes here. :-)
Thanks, Wendy.
I appreciate the encouragement.
I must admit, it's not so easy staying in that Top 50 category. If you miss one day it is quick to get dropped back down to Top 100.
It's a little hard for me now. Right after I wrote that article I had to put my elderly Aunt in home hospice. So, I'm back to caregiving once again. But, she is important to me so I will be there for her.
Sending prayers for you and her. Caregiving takes a toll. I hope you have time to do things you enjoy to recharge.
Thanks, Wendy. I definitely have to constantly remind myself to take a rest when I can.
