Welcome to Wealthy Affiliate, The Open Education Project!Before I get into anything, I want to give you two simple pieces of advice within the Wealthy Affiliate community.(1) Don’t be afraid to ask questions(2) Take action on what you learnRight now you should take a second and introduce yourself within the main chat....this alone is a big hurdle for many (and perhaps you) and this alone will set you off in the right direction.Post a little "hello" in WA Chat!If you can do this, you will

There have been some questions surrounding the "true" value of becoming an ambassador of Wealthy Affiliate outside the obvious incentive of coming to Las Vegas for our next annual conference which is likely to take place in late 2012.I thought that instead of trying to explain where we are headed, it would be easier to create an infographic to represent that "Ambassadorship Opportunity".
