What Success At Wealthy Affiliate Really Means

This has been on my mind for a while. Now that I'm "working" again, I just wanted to reflect a bit.

Whenever I see a success post on Wealthy Affiliate, the first thing I check for is how long they've been with Wealthy Affiliate. The thing I commonly see is that many of them have been with Wealthy Affiliate for over a year, usually more than two years. Do you know what this means? Affiliate Marketing is not an overnight success. That's most important to note to new comers. If you're looking for a quick payout, you'd be disappointed.

I think success at Wealthy Affiliate really means sticking with it. If you look at my start date, I actually joined in 2016, but I didn't really start working until a year later in 2017. And that doesn't include the two months I took off just now. Now that I'm getting back to work, I really feel like I can work with a clearer head.

Sometimes that means working at a job you don't like too much until you achieve your own idea of success.
