At fifty years old I am obviously past the prime of life... past the point of no return so to speak, yet I keep finding things that keep life interesting. I have done a lot of things the past fifty years and there is even more that I haven't done yet. The older you get the more you realize all the things you haven't had your shot at yet!
Wealthy Affiliate is one of those things in life that come along and make you stand up and take notice... sort of like when Niel Armstrong first stepped on the moon or when the Miracle Mets won the world Series. You some how knew that you just witnessed something never to be repeated and that things were never going to be the same again. Of course extremely negative things can do the same and there seems to be more of them to remember but always being the "glass is half full" kind of guy I prefer to concentrate on the positive.
I have blundered around the Internet a little over a decade or so, selling a few items on eBay and selling birds I raised on free classified sites. I really thought this was cool because to be able to make any money in the ventures I was involved in during the 70s and 80s required about $300 to $400 in long distant phone calls per month. Email actually devastated this experience!
However most of my peers just scoffed, thinking the Internet and especially making any money with it was just a fad combined with wishful thinking. They were contented to do things the same old ways that worked (or didn't) in the past. I however wanted to move on. I knew there was potential in using the Internet as a sales vehicle and being a pure Affiliate Marketer gradually became an obsession, but didn't know how I was going to fit in or even worse yet, were to get started!
My first eye opening discovery was Profit Lance and then the same month I discovered Wealthy Affiliate. I was so engrossed with Profit Lance that I didn't actually join Wealthy Affiliate until a couple of months later. A couple of stumbling blocks for me was the fact that I was already a member of Profit Lance, a sort of "this is the horse I road in on" thing and I was apprehensive about the monthly membership fee of Wealthy Affiliate. I know, I 'm a tard but you just had to be there!
I thought Kyle and Carson (creators of WA) were just a couple of young bucks full off.... well you know... hype? Every were I went (on the web, not actually every where!) it was Wealthy Affiliate this and Wealthy Affiliate that... finally, against my better judgment, I capitulated (nice big word huh) and caved in (should of just said that in the first place)... I joined fully expecting to be demanding my money back and feeling like a total idiot for even falling for such a scam. Guess what... nothing has been the same since.
All I heard at first was these snide little remarks from friends and family like "Sooo hows your little money makers doin?" or "Tard marketen 'gain". They were just ignored as I soaked up the "8 Week Action Plan" (6 week back then) and devoured further material on the Forum.
Just when I thought I had read all the content at Wealthy Affiliate, Kyle and Carson reached some kind of creative critical mass and starting adding all kinds of new material and awesome tools to further the learning experience.
There is no better place to learn the skills of Internet Marketing on the internet than Wealthy Affiliate.
What about Profit Lance? Well with hundreds of marketing schools available on the Internet I would have to say Profit Lance comes in second only to Wealthy Affiliate. It is a great training area and I still use them. One advantage is Profit Lance is a one time membership fee for life. I would recommend them if you were on a real tight budget. After the original $97 membership there is no further cost..
Wealthy Affiliate now cost $39 per month or $29 if you pay for a year in advance. This is the biggest bargain on the planet unless you are not interested in learning and would rather chase scams and get rich quick schemes the rest of your life.
