their Authority Site System Course became ineffective after Google's updates and in their own words
"I refuse to sell courses teaching strategies that no longer work reliably for most people."
At least they have some integrity but it leaves me wondering if I should even bother building a content site these days?
@ritap Rita, you've pretty much zoned in on the crux of the matter 🙂
There are still hundreds, if not thousands of digital marketing courses out there still teaching the 'old ways'. WA comes to mind 😝 Many here on the DMC are Wealthy Affiliate refugees ... for some the trauma has been too much to deal with 😆
Lyle and Charson would do well to heed the message in the quote above from Authority Hacker. Bravo!
Funnily enough Rohan I came across Wealthy Affiliate a few months ago and almost got sucked in. I've read some of the posts here in the Cafe about WA and it seems my decision to hightail it out of there was the right one.
Looking back, it definitely felt a bit 'cult-ish', which I think someone else here also mentioned. But it's the integrity thing for me that trumps all. It's not, but if my choice was between Wealthy Affiliate vs Authority Hacker then it's the Hacker every time purely because they have been honest with their users instead of flogging the proverbial 'dead-horse'.
We need more of this honesty in the make money from home space!
