A House Built On A Rock - Building A Web Based Business With Wealthy Affiliates

13 days ago I was "surfing" on the internet and was led to Wealthy Affiliates. I say I was led because I had already tried, on 3 previous occasions, to build web sites via other "opportunities". I was not certain who to trust anymore. I had spent thousands of dollars (that I didn't really have) on computer training. I even hired a personal computer consultant who performed a "cashectomy" on me and left me with a website that he built but I could not modify or maintain.

I am a retired 59 year old physician who looks great on paper but who, like many of my colleagues, mismanaged his personal life, his finances, and his career. I have little to show for all the work, the over 20 years of 24 hour call, and other sacrifice that goes along with being a "successful" physician.

What was I to do with the rest of my life? This time it will be family first. The internet seems to be the obvious choice but I needed someone to "hold my hand" and guide me through the process of becoming internet literate. I was functional with a computer..but I couldn't understand the internet language to become able to service my own site. And yet, through it all...I remained intrigued and optimistic about this mysterious medium called the internet.

Then, I believe, the Lord led me to Wealthy Affiliates. The up front investment was very reasonable, the lessons were very simple (I needed that), the most important things were clearly explained and had manual tasking, and I could see the results of the training fairly quickly, Oh sure, I still have questions, plenty of them (How will I multi-load my product pages with high quality products?). But, WA will teach me that process when I am ready for it.

WA focuses on CONTENT FIRST...what a concept. In medicine you sure want your Doctor to have "content" (academic credentials) don't you? That made sense to me. The lessons build one upon another. The foundation is GOOD CONTENT. Everyone knows that a house built on sand may stand for a time but will not survive a severe storm (my Bible perspective in everything:).

I am beginning to understand web site development. Kyle is Yoda..."Do or not do...there is no try" (insert Yoda voice here). As we methodically go through and do each lesson we grow ("...not just hearers but doers of the Word"...oops, there I go again with my Bible thoughts). Our content is our "rock" foundation...solid and immovable.

My plan is to be an ambassador for WA, profit as I help others with my content, and develop a substantial web business. Sounds alot like becoming a Doctor...only better.
