My 2 year Wealthy Affiliate University anniversary.
It’s been two years since I joined Wealthy Affiliate University. What an amazing two years they have been. I was the biggest skeptic there was when it came to making money online – just like the others who got burned again and again by money making programs that just didn’t live up to expectations.
Wealthy Affiliate University was the last ditch attempt to make things happen. I learnt and learnt and took action – not a lot of action – but enough to get me that first sale. That was the turning point for me – a sale of £93.65 changed everything – IT MADE ME BELIEVE.
That sale was followed by another a few days later, then another a month later, then some more over the course of the year until now, where January and February have seen close to £200 in commissions each. If you had asked me this time two years ago whether I thought all this was possible, I would have said no. Now I would gladly tell someone that it IS POSSIBLE to make money online; but it takes work and a lot of patience and determination!
Now, ask me whether I would rather work 10 hours on affiliate marketing or 7 hours in a regular job, I would say hands down the 10 hours. Once you have experienced that first sale your mind starts to change – in the words of Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr your mind can never go back to it’s old dimensions.
When things start happening you know that it is POSSIBLE to go well beyond the limits of a regular job and you are more than happy to plug away at the affiliate marketing machine. Your goals are ever expanding ‘can I make more sales this month than next’?’ In a regular job the effort you put in does not directly correlate with the rewards you get back – the Law of Diminishing Returns. With affiliate marketing, the effort you put in will eventually be returned. There is no limit to what is possible and that is what is exciting.
Is it about the money? No, I love the money, but it’s not all I do affiliate marketing for. Affiliate marketing is a chance for me to build something of worth, something that I can call my own and nobody can take away. The business I have built over the past two years is MY baby and I ACHIEVED those results and IT FEELS GREAT!
So how did Wealthy Affiliate University help me? It bought me down to earth. The first thing that the site and people who are a part of it say is that it is NOT a get rich quick scheme and it DOES take a lot of effort and hard work. If you are prepared to put in the hard work all the tools and resources are there to help you succeed, and is you stick with it you WILL get that first sale.
Who knows what the next year will bring. I can guarantee you I will still be working online, i’m, addicted. I have a number of projects I have in the pipeline, including Project 2011. It is just a question of keeping up the momentum and see where we land.
Happy Times
