So This Is What A Community Should Be

I'm sure most parents have heard the saying, "It takes a village to raise a child". This is the same concept that is used at Wealthy Affiliates. It takes a community to succeed in internet marketing. I now just what a community should be.

As a mom your day is probably scheduled like mine is. I work around when Shelli is napping, eating, and even in bed at night. Because that time is limited, I try to get as much done during those hours. On more then one occasion I have encountered a problem with my website that I just could not fix. I could have spent a lot of precious time searching the internet for a solution that would actually work. Instead I searched WA forums for someone who had came across the same problem.

Since I didn't find a similar post, I posted a request for an answer. I put as much detail as I could. What I changed when the error took place? What the error message was? Within 30 minutes one of the community members knew where I went wrong and exactly what I needed to do to fix it. That's one of the things I truly like most about WA. Instead of everyone looking out for themselves, the community genuinely enjoys seeing other people succeeding in internet marketing as well.

Co-owners, Kyle and Carson, can be found answering questions in the forum themselves. The proof of them not losing sight of why WA was created, is being awarded as the #1 Internet Marketing Training Site

As Kyle recently stated "Believe it or not, many of the decisions along the way have lost us a good deal of revenue in the name of providing more value to the end user. Yes, we do treat WA like a business, but our considerations for improving our service, providing new tools, resources, technologies and training are driven by what will make the community better, not what will make us MORE MONEY."
