Wealthy Affiliate - My Story
|
I joined
Wealthy Affiliate back in November 2006 following months
of searching the Internet for a program that actually
worked. Like most people, I’d spent $1000’s on
products that claimed to help me quit my day job for an
online life of luxury, but you won’t be
surprised to hear that they all failed.
|
|
With a
wife and two children to support, my factory job barely
covered the household bills and I had no choice but to
find a way to generate my own income online so that I
could provide a better life for my family. It was at
this time that I first discovered Wealthy Affiliate, and
according to the Wealthy Affiliate website I would get
the most advanced set of tools and training resources,
plus 1-1 support from Kyle and Carson themselves. This
was EXACTLY what I had been searching
for...but was it all too good to be true?
My mind
was made up and I wanted to give Wealthy Affiliate a go,
but I still had to convince my wife that this
wasn't just another scam. She knew how much I wanted to
quit my day job and provide a better life for our
children, and so she agreed to let me have just one more
try. There was no turning back…if I was going to do
something with my life I would have to give this my very
best shot. I was fed up with working my fingers to the
bone and having nothing to show for it...I
was ready for the Wealthy Affiliate challenge! |

On
November the 11th 2006, I became a member of the Wealthy
Affiliate University and although I didn't know it at
that time, my decision to join would
eventually change my life. I did have some Internet
marketing experience prior to joining, but what I was
after more than anything was a process that actually
worked, and support from those that were already
successful. I didn't think that was too much to ask
for...and without those 2 things I would almost
certainly fail and return to letting someone else
control my destiny in the 9-5 environment.
|
"I
was in awe of these highly successful people"
| By my own
admission, I was a bit overwhelmed when I first joined
Wealthy Affiliate. Even though the WA community has come
on a long way since I joined back in 2006, it was still
hard to take in the quality and volume of the
training resources made available to members even at
that time. Then there were the expert marketers that
appeared to be on hand whenever I needed them...I was
in awe of these highly successful people, and was amazed
that they even wanted to speak to me! But they did, and
it soon became apparent to me that Wealthy Affiliate was
a community full of helpers. |
By mid-2007 I felt that I was ready to make this work for
me. My progress up to this point had been slower than I
had anticipated due to personal reasons, but the constant
support I received from Kyle & Carson ALWAYS
kept me moving forward. On top of that, Wealthy Affiliate
was constantly being updated with the latest Internet
marketing tools and resources, and this made the whole process
a lot easier.
By the end of the year I
decided to quit my factory job and concentrate totally on
my online career. It was a huge step to take at that time,
but I was 100% confident that it was the
right decision. Wealthy Affiliate had educated me in a way
that I never believed was possible online, and for once in
my life I felt in TOTAL control of my own destiny.
It was also about this
time that I came up with the idea of spreading the word
about Wealthy Affiliate so that other people could see
just how effective the program really is. I
couldn't help but think that there were probably millions
of people just like me out there...all searching for a way
to take control of their lives, rather than accepting the
9-5 lifestyle. I wanted to show them that there is a
genuine opportunity out there for them, but maybe they
just hadn't found it yet.
And so the idea of Wealthy
Affiliate For Free was born!

"Work" is
now wherever I want it to be
|
|
"This
opened up a whole new world for me..."
|
By the end
of 2008 I had made significant progress with my online
career, and this prompted 2 life-changing moments. The
first of these came about In January of 2009 when Kyle
& Carson invited me to work more closely with
members within the WA community by becoming their Super
Affiliate Coach.
|
Needless to say I accepted what was an amazing
offer by 2 of the most successful marketers on the
Internet. Both Kyle & Carson know how devoted
I am to helping change the lives of others through
my Wealthy Affiliate For Free website and within
the Wealthy Affiliate community, so I was
delighted to be given this opportunity!
This
was my chance to give back to the community that
had helped me become successful online, and in
January 2009 the 'WA Super Affiliate' program
was set up to help members fast track their
promotions.
The
program was an instant hit with Wealthy
Affiliate's as it provided them with a series of
tutorials and resources to help them focus on
specific promotional methods.
Within
a matter of weeks it became clear that the
dedicated structure of the Super Affiliate
resources were making a big difference to the
success of members, and that's very
rewarding. I also had the chance to do what I love
the most, and that is help people understand this
whole "make money online" game
and make something of their lives. I had
after all gone through the entire Wealthy
Affiliate training program myself, so I knew EXACTLY
what "newbie's" needed help with the
most.
Then
in February 2009 I had by far my best moment ever
online as an Internet marketer when I was invited
to meet up with Kyle & Carson themselves in
their Skyloft apartment in the MGM Grand
Las Vegas!
This
opened up a whole new world to me that I never
knew existed, and it was certainly a fry cry from
the 9-5 lifestyle that I had left behind some
months earlier. In the blink of an eye I had gone
from being a dejected 9-5 factory worker, to
someone spending 4 days with 2 multi-millionaire
marketers in the lap of Vegas luxury...what an
incredible feeling!
Spending
time with Kyle & Carson was more valuable than
ANYTHING that I have ever done in my life,
and it proved to me how totally dedicated they are
to changing peoples lives at Wealthy Affiliate.
They managed to change mine, and now (with their
help) I'm able to contribute to helping change the
lives of others.

| Many people
assume that there's some big secret when it comes to
generating a full time income online, but in my
experience it comes down to just 3 things - good
training...good support...and EFFORT. My online
career only came to life when I found Wealthy Affiliate
and the support and training that is offered to the
community. That only leaves the "effort" part,
and that is where YOU come in. If you want to change
your life even half as much as I did when I first
joined, there's absolutely no reason why you can't at
least replicate my success at Wealthy Affiliate.
