What WA Did For Me
When I found WA, I wasn’t a mess but I felt like one. I had spent money on several other sites that promised me they would teach me to make money as an affiliate. Mostly, these were created by online prodigies who presented themselves as authorities that they weren’t. These platforms were OK. I learned much about online marketing. However, I always felt like I was wandering around in circles. If online success had happened for me, I might have accepted the wandering experience and assumed, that is how the online business works. But sadly, success never happened for me. I knew where I was going, but the path was never clear. I had just retired and I needed extra income, and I had a dream that I wanted to fulfill. So I kept looking. I could not accept the lack of organization and direction I had found in the online, affiliate industry. Then when I clicked the link to WA, my world changed. Within a few minutes, WA showed me a road map to my dreams. I looked at their training program and found organized content that was clearly presented, adequate support as a learner, and an active community where I could discuss my problems. The community was a big factor that told me WA is a serious player. Other platforms have “communities” but these communities are less than active. WA actively engages its students in community participation.
What You Get From WA
Well, what DO you get from WA. CLARITY!! One intangible benefit has been a daily feeling of accomplishment and a clear sense of progress toward my goal. When I said that I felt like a mess when I found WA, this is what I mean. When your goal or dream isn’t in sight, maintains motivation can be a problem. If your dreams are worth having, they are big enough to not always be visible. That is where instructional programs are valuable. WA lessons have explanations and rationales for the procedures they teach. For example, when you learn about keywords and how to research them, you see clearly how this procedure is essential for your success online. One of the problems with the other websites is that my learning, from time to time, hits a road block. I come to a complete stop. When I would go for help at these other sites, help was impossible to find. I would search for days then gradually I found myself withdrawing from the learning experience. The student can only take so much lack of progress. I would end by dropping out of the program and find another one, always hoping for better results. However, the road blocks always appeared, but they always occurred sometime after the site had received all its money. This did not happen at WA. When I encountered learning or technical problems, WA came to my rescue. For the first time, I was able to make continuous and rapid progress in my new, affiliate career. Obviously, this fired my motivation!
Make Sales From the Start
I know, every other affiliate marketing website and their grandmothers offer this. But with the other websites, it never happens– or at least it never happened for me. In the other websites, one is never sure how the content will translate into actual sales. WA makes very clear how their content will translate at every step of the training. You can become an affiliate from almost day one of the program. You can post your affiliate link on your social media and immediately become a player in the game. This is wonderful! In addition to immediately getting an affiliate link, you learn sales strategies that work and why they work. Not all training programs teach why their strategies work, and this is an instructional problem. Knowing how a procedure works facilitates your application of the procedure in novel situations, or situations different from those in which you learned it. But this is where you will be using your new skills. Every step is modeled with explanations of the model. All the heavy work of starting a website is done for you we that you can experience success quickly.
Test Drive First
So, you’re thinking: “What if WA is the best platform in the world for entrepreneurs but not for me. That is a real possibility. That is why WA’s policy of giving you a free test drive is so important. WA want’s to sell subscriptions, but not at all costs. At no cost to you, you can get a taste of what WA does before you purchase their program. If you find it does not meet your needs, no cost to you. WA wants to have successful students. For this reason, there are no manipulative sales gimmicks. On your free test drive, you are provided every opportunity to ask questions. You can get out and kick the tires to see if you think WA will really help you achieve your goals. WA has been around for 20 years helping students achieve their goals. It’s unlikely they won’t be able to help you.
A Solid Community
There is an African proverb that it takes a village to raise a child. Well, it takes a village to do just about anything. Life is scary and difficult at best. Starting something new, like an online business, is scary. It should be, because there are many unpredictable events that can happen. Learning, itself, is scary. Starting an online business will change your life and that if frightening. WA understands your concerns and how they will affect your learning. That is why they have a very responsive support site that promptly responds to your questions and immediately starts work on your issues. Problem resolutions don’t take days at WA. WA also has multiple support staff in addition to its support site. Outside of its own staff, the WA student community has members at all levels of the program that you can chat. Many of these members have been engaged with WA for years and are available to give you feedback.
Well Analyzed Curriculum
Effective learning doesn’t happen willy-nilly. It requires organization of content, effective instructional procedures, effective instructors/videos, and expert modeling. That can be achieved only with a curriculum. At WA, you are given a curriculum, not a syllabus. A syllabus is a listing of the content that will be covered in a meeting. A curriculum is an organization of content in terms how that content can best be learned/taught. When presented with a syllabus, I always wonder if I will be taught all the skills that I need for applying what I am learning. With a syllabus, we don’t know. With a curriculum, we do know. Because WA has so well analyzed what it is teaching, there is an individualization of the curriculum built into its content. The curriculum, itself, can be used by staff to identify the roots of any learning issues you might have. This is one advantage of a curriculum as opposed to a syllabus. Because a curriculum is based upon an analysis of the skills it teaches, WA provides a logical understanding of its content. This is greatly beneficial to you, the student, because it gives you a continuously, clear picture of the road map toward your goal. At WA, you get a picture of the forest, as well as, the trees.
A Good Fit For You
Due to its responsiveness to the students’ learning to experience, WA has an embedded process of individualization of its curriculum. What this means for you is that their program fits you, you don’t have to fit their program. Most of the other platforms look for students that “fit their program.” They will actually tell you that: “Are you a good fit for our program?” Well, good education fits its programs to its students. That is what WA does. As you progress through the curriculum, you will find support built into the lessons that cue and motivate the next step. An integration of the content is maintained at all times so you always know how the skills fit together. This provides a clear path through the tunnel of learning; you will always have a clear view of the light at the end. Click this link and get started on your journey!!
