When Linda Elze joined Worldprofit in 2008, she did not consider herself technically skilled and had no previous online marketing experience.

A grandmother living in California, Linda was searching for a legitimate way to build an online business. She had already encountered companies that failed to deliver what they promised, leaving her understandably skeptical.

Her budget was tight, her confidence had been shaken and the online marketing world felt overwhelming.

Her story did not begin with technical expertise or immediate sales. It began with a willingness to learn, ask for help and consistently follow a system.

Starting With No Experience

When Linda first entered the Worldprofit member area, she was surprised by the number of services, advertising resources and marketing tools available.

Like many new members, she was unsure where to begin.

Instead of trying to learn and use everything at once, Linda started with the first step in Worldprofit’s online training. She worked through the lessons at her own pace and began following the affiliate marketing system taught by Worldprofit Co-Founder and CEO George Kosch.

She watched the recorded Bootcamp training and attended George’s weekly live training sessions. Most importantly, she was not afraid to ask questions.

Worldprofit’s technical support was available seven days a week, and Linda used it whenever she needed guidance.

“When I started, I felt overwhelmed by the number of products and services and didn’t know where to begin. I started with Step One, followed George’s training and asked for help whenever I needed it.”

Her First Sale Took Time

Linda did not make her first sale immediately.

It took several months of learning, promoting and following up before she began to see results. Instead of assuming the system did not work, she stayed with the process.

She focused on one of the most important lessons in affiliate marketing: consistent promotion.

Linda used Worldprofit’s recommended advertising resources to introduce new prospects to her business. She continued learning how to present her offer and followed up with the people who showed interest.

Her patience eventually produced her first sale. Then, as she continued applying the training, more sales followed.

The System Linda Uses Today

Linda’s success is not based on one advertising campaign, one software tool or one lucky sale. It comes from consistently using several parts of the Worldprofit system together.

She uses Worldprofit’s Prospect Manager to organize and follow up with potential customers. She also uses the newsletter and social media tools to stay visible, communicate with prospects and share useful information.

Worldprofit’s recommended advertising resources help her continue attracting new referrals.

Technology supports Linda’s business, but personal communication remains an important part of her approach. She follows up through email, telephone conversations, Facebook and FaceTime.

She also makes herself available to the people she refers. That personal connection helps new members feel supported and gives them someone to turn to when they have questions.

Linda does not rely on people simply discovering everything on their own. She combines Worldprofit’s tools and automation with genuine personal contact. This balance has helped her turn individual referrals into lasting relationships.

From Beginner to Consistent Top Seller

Linda started with no online marketing experience and did not consider herself technically inclined.

She learned by taking one step at a time.

As her understanding grew, so did her results. She continued promoting, following up and helping her referrals until she rose to the position of Worldprofit Top Seller.

In 2025, Linda received special recognition for achieving that distinction for ten consecutive years.

Her accomplishment is especially meaningful because she did not begin with a large marketing budget, technical expertise or previous online success. She began with a system—and made the decision to follow it consistently.

Linda’s Advice to Other Affiliate Marketers

Linda’s advice is straightforward:

“Stick to the system. It works. If it didn’t, I wouldn’t still be here. Everything you need is at Worldprofit in one place.”

For someone just getting started, she recommends beginning with the first training step and moving forward at a comfortable pace.

“Start with Step One and go at your own pace. Focus on promotion and follow the online sales system George Kosch teaches. Use the training, ask for help and stay consistent.”

Linda’s story demonstrates that success does not require knowing everything before you begin. What matters is being willing to learn, use the available support and continue taking purposeful action.
