The Super Affiliate Challenge 2019! My Case for Inclusion
Looking forward to this years Super Affiliate Blogging Challenge but still awaiting word as to who has become one of the chosen ones and if I fit the bill for inclusion in these prestige ranks.
Why do I need this so badly to write about it here instead of just letting my mini application speak for itself?
Just 6 years ago I had a nervous breakdown and come out the other end with bipolar depression and social anxiety issues so bad I couldn't leave the house to Dr. Appointments without getting chest pains and panic attacks. Before the Breakdown I had always been a people person. Before the Breakdown I was an affiliate marketer climbing to the point of firing the boss for good.
In the post breakdown era I found Wealthy Affiliate and it has helped me come back to my roots as a blogger but due to my illness I have yet to find a consistent pattern. I have several blogs I write or write for and had a single client who was paying me $400 a month to Ghost Write for them, still I lost out due to my inconsistencies.
So how does this make for a need to be included?
Frankly I need the challenge and the accountability to stick to a group and schedule and have demands put on me that will help me find that consistency. I have an Affiliate blog I have not written to in over a month for example because I have been laser focused on forums and social media instead of writing for me. It is time now to focus on me and my family.
It's not a typo when I tell you I have 7 kids and a very loving and understanding wife. All we make is my online earnings and money from a small Swap Meet Stand we just started a month ago. Beyond that we are stuck on Welfare and I don't want that to be my kids future or all I can provide for my wife. In my illness we lost all our savings, all our income including my ability to work outside the house.
Why do I think I can do this?
I am determined. I am challenge driven and love to work in teams and groups. Even though I am a mentor having helped others reach 6 figure incomes I have had an issue when it comes to doing this for me but feel it is past time to focus on Andy for a change and help myself reach my personal goals. Kyle is a perfect mentor, he has a demeanor about him that oozes success and is exactly the type of mentor I have been seeking since the death of my friend Corey Rudl of Internet Marketing Center fame.
I need this nearly as much as I want this challenge.

Andy; I hope they can pick you instead of me. I hope this works out for you and gives you an incentive to move forward. I will tell you this. I'm praying for you and your beautiful family and I hope every thing works out for you. God bless you.
I would love to see us all make the cut, no instead, but the reality is this takes focus and I know it's something I need in my life right now. Thanks for your support.
I understand your predicament very well. I am bipolar as well. I do not have 7 children, we had 3, all grown now.
I can work outside home, but in very small chunks, 2-3 days and about 5 hours a day.
Doesn't bring much but helps.
I am on social security disability, not enough to live, but enough to probably survive, that is what I say.
I am sure that welfare is similar. I am glad to see you here, doing the right thing, you can succeed here.
Yeah, welfare like social security provides the minimum and you need more than just minimum to enjoy life. I know the need for the programs but they are not designed well to get you back to working and off their dole. Still, the goal is to not need them anymore. Thanks for the response.

Sounds like you are ready to receive your blessings. The teacher is always quiet during a test. Have you heard that before? I have found that if I just keep the faith and push through it always has a blessing or reward at the end. Sounds like that is just what you are doing. And you know...anyway, I believe that we are tested so that we can better serve others. How can one sympathize if they have never experienced it? You go Andy! I see bright things in your future.
Thank you. I have a firm belief this is my year to make it, and I know this challenge can help me reach the consistent behaviors needed to reach my goals. I believe helping people like me is in the mission of Wealthy Affiliate as well and that I will ultimately be selected but no matter what I am determined to see leaps and bounds improvement in my blogging in 2019. It is after all my best therapy.
Andy
Really sorry to hear those sufferings. By GODS grace everything will change and I will remember you in my prayers. Hats off to your wife.
I want to see your success post and I want you to be selected for the SAC 2019.
You can do it and you will do it.
Please do it, achieve it for yourself, your loving wife and for your children.
GOD bless!
Your Friend,
Paul
Thank you for your prayers of support. God has given me so many blessings and I know I ask too much at times but if his will is to place me in this challenge I am ready to do the legwork.
Andy

Andy, Wow, yes I remember that guy, Corey Rudl, the internet marketing pioneer, he started the Internet Marketing business, called the Internet Marketing Center (IMC) like you mentioned-surprised to see his name pop up on here, guess old timers would know who he was. I remember the incident well when he was tragically killed I think summer of 2005? In a car race in a Porsche something going at high speeds and there was a lawsuit about that.
So sorry about your misfortunes that you have had. I hope you will not give up but keep on going and stay focused on the right track. There may be times when wanna give up but dont. Everyday brings new challenges and adversity, we must do our best, thats all we can do.
Do your best, even though suffer from these issues, all you can do is keep on trying and not give up, thats the main thing. I lost my husband, still grieving for him. I am sure he wants me to move on, try as I might its been hard but nonetheless, being here and learning new things has helped me stay on track and keep moving forward.
Thanks for sharing. You got a lot of support on here me included!
I'm glad I am not alone in remembering Corey and am sorry to hear about the loss of your Husband. I am positive he would be very proud of what you are doing now and would want you to move forward. When my dad died he and my mom had been married nearly 40 years so it was a really hard time for all of us but my mom shined through like a champion and in you, I sense a champion. May God's grace see you through to brighter days.
Thank you for sharing your story with us, Andy.
We hope it happens for you so that you can help your family the way you want to.
Wishing you success,
C & P

wow Andy ... i sincerely wish that your life was easier
all i can do is to offer you words of encouragement ... which isn't much
i will pray for you and your situation and your family ... and ... offer a Mass for your intentions
perhaps there is a free or very cost course ? book ? online that might help you recapture your consistency ?
your were once very consistent and productive and doing very well ... keep in mind that ... if you have done something once ... you can do it again !

I must have read a hundred post, and e-books but they all say get an accountability partner. This would create a team of accountability partners working 7 days a week 24 hours a day so inspiration is a question away much like the live chat is now but in a smaller group where a close-knit bond can form.
