Hey there,

My name is Ben Swogger and this is a little bit about me!

I am a certified group fitness instructor so I love to work out and spend time in the gym. However, when I’m not in in the gym I’m in front of my computer because I love internet marketing. Not only does it provide a nice financial stream but it’s also very exciting. I love to match a person to a product that solves their problems because it’s a win-win for both of us. They find what they’re looking for and I get paid for it! How can it get any better than that?

It wasn’t always this way though. Teaching fitness classes used to be my only source of income because I wasn’t having success online. I thought I was doing everything right…I was making a blog and writing articles that linked to that blog and so when I didn’t experience success I really was confused. How can you do everything right but not be rewarded for it?

One day while watching some TV (I was fed up with failure and taking a break from marketing) I saw a commercial for one of the classic ‘get rich quick’ schemes. And exactly as it is designed to do…it pulled me right in. I went online and was this close to purchasing it when my brain finally took over and snapped me back to reality. So I decided right then and there that I would not let marketing get the best of me and that I would be successful.

I started researching internet marketing success stories to build my confidence up and came across a story about a guy who was a member of a university called Wealthy Affiliate. Now at first I thought it was a real university…with a campus and classes, etc. But I soon found out that it is an online community. It sounded really neat and with the success that this guy had, I was willing to check it out.

When I first saw the Wealthy Affiliate sales page I was blown away by the professionalism and elegance of the whole thing (a far cry from the sleazy set up of the get rich quick sites). I saw pictures and read the stories of Kyle and Carson, the administrators, and read through the rest of the page. Immediately I knew it was the place for me because not only was there all the tools I would ever need, there was also an interactive forum to ask questions yourself or learn from the questions of others.

Through the training and support at Wealthy Affiliate I found out that I had the right concept with my blog and articles, I just was just going through the process all wrong. So I changed my process, took advantage of the tools available at Wealthy Affiliate and just like that…internet marketing success!

Now I’m not going to go on and on about Wealthy Affiliate because I did just that in my Wealthy Affiliate review page and even in my latest blog post (I know, I love Wealthy Affiliate so much I had to write about it twice!)

So I’ll leave you with that! That is my story about how I found success online and I know without a doubt that if you give Wealthy Affiliate a try, you will too!
