How Does the Wealthy Affiliate Really Work? – Get an Inside Look into Wealthy Affiliate…

How does the Wealthy Affiliate really work?  We absolutely love what Wealthy Affiliate has to offer its members.  From the beginner friendly training to the awesome website engagement tools you will find amazing support every step of the way.

Affiliate Marketing is a great way to earn money from home and many people are exploring that option, but they often come across poor imitations of affiliate marketing training when really, they can do no better than what is on offer at Wealthy Affiliate.

Wealthy Affiliate offers the best training that any beginner could want, and the reason you will typically only find positive words said about it is because of the successes that their members achieve.

We have been with Wealthy Affiliate for a couple of years now and are seeing our own successes with our online businesses, and we want to help others who want to get started online too.

If you really want to know what is inside Wealthy Affiliate, what is offers you and ultimately does it really work then read on.

Let’s get into What Wealthy Affiliate has to offer…

The Wealthy Affiliate Platform – What Does it Offer?

Wealthy Affiliate - The Affiliate Marketing Platform

There is actually little that Wealthy Affiliate doesn’t offer its members.  Starting out as a keyword list provider in 2005, Wealthy Affiliate has grown to offer a comprehensive online business training and tools kit for anyone wanting to build or grow an online business.

Kyle & Carson are the owners and are thoroughly involved in the day-to-day and are regularly seen in the live chat areas or answering questions in the Q&A.

They care a lot, and considering that they have grown a massive online platform they have not changed the price since those early days of just providing profitable keyword lists to the point where they are offering their own web hosting, etc and are still are charging the same price even after 13 years of offering Wealthy Affiliate.

They are more interested in helping people out, they have added more and more features over the years and you will see that when we start to explore their training.

But first, let’s go through the Wealthy Affiliate Dashboard and Personal Profile

WA Dashboard & Profile

It can seem a little overwhelming when you first log into Wealthy Affiliate, it can seem a little busy to someone who has not experienced it before.  Let’s break it down:

Wealthy Affiliate Dashboard

First off, when you first get into WA, you will be taken through a system tour.  If you skip through this a little too quick, it can hamper your progress a little.  But if you click where your name is, you will see a little menu that also allows you to go through the system tour again.  Take it again, if you want to know where everything is and how to access certain elements.

WA System Tour

From the left, you have the main menu where you can access everything you need.  If it is to do with training, it is in the training tab.  Websites gives you all of the different elements around websites, Live events is the weekly webinars Jay runs.

The funky logo with a J in the middle, is your Jaaxy keyword research tool

Live Chat & Help Centre are also accessible from here.

Down the middle is a blog that will show you recent posts from Wealthy Affiliate members, in my example you will see new questions people are asking and want help with.

To the right, you have the live chat.  If you decide to join WA, jump in and say hello and feel a warm welcome coming your way.

The icons at the top right, give you access to other elements.  But you can explore those later if you want to try Wealthy Affiliate for free.

Let’s get into some of the key elements that we love about Wealthy Affiliate and what they have to offer someone who wants to get started online.

Wealthy Affiliate Training

After spending 13 years in a learning and development career, I know more than anyone that great training is the difference between understanding the basic concepts of something and truly being able to implement them into your online business.

Often you will find training that misses out key steps or doesn’t make itself clear enough and you have to go away and research some more.

Not with the training available at Wealthy Affiliate.  The training is designed for everyone.  Whether you have never written an article before, no nothing about websites and website design or even anything to do with the search engines.  It doesn’t matter, because the training will ensure you do by the end of it.

The Wealthy Affiliate Platform has a number of different training programs to offer, we will start with the online entrepreneur certification course.  This is where you want to go to get started with affiliate marketing and your own online business.

With an awesome affiliate program, with 50% affiliate commissions for premium members.  Often people first establish a niche website through the OEC course before deciding to promote Wealthy Affiliate.  It is hands-down the best training platform out there and is easily one people feel they can promote.

But the MMO sector is a very competitive one, and this training gives you the edge with regards to nailing it.

Affiliate Bootcamp - WA

I have not gone through the course benefits and learning outcomes, purely because this is not really a course for a beginner, but someone who is ready for the next step.  However, if you want to learn more about the course.  You can access the first 10 lessons with a free starter membership and see it for yourselves in action.

Classrooms

Community Created Training

A number of the training materials has actually been created by members within the community.  Once you have a premium member and have been for 3 months, you can start creating your own training for others to benefit from.

You will receive cash credits, the amount would depend on the quality of the training and how engaging it is.

MarionBlack, for example has created 104 training videos.  These are mainly around certain aspects around WordPress, and I have found them really useful.  If you want to really understand WordPress, watch some of Marion’s training videos and you will truly know it.

These can be found in the different classrooms or via the Live Search feature, which we will get into later.

Weekly Live Webinars

Jay (Magistudios) hosts a weekly webinar for members to join.  He covers different aspects of an online business, below is a recent example of where jay has gone through “Produce, Record & Uploading Your YouTube Videos

Wealthy Affiliate Webinars

Jay has a great way of explaining things that anyone can understand.  It is not overwhelming; he keeps it simple and ensures you know the key elements to take away.

His Q&A sessions at the end of each webinar is now famous and means you get to ask questions and get immediate answers.  At present, Jay has 357 webinars on his profile, which you can go back and watch them whenever you want (as a premium member).

Wealthy Affiliate Training Review

There are true success stories from people following the Wealthy Affiliate Training.  There will always be those that believe that the training doesn’t work, but in my experience that has come from the fact they haven’t followed the training.

People will work hard for two weeks and not see a return and blame Wealthy Affiliate and the training.  But when you actually take a minute and think about it, it is because you are believing this is a quick route to earning money online.

If you follow the training to the letter and truly understand the timescales and effort required to earn money, you will truly benefit from Wealthy Affiliate and their training.

But what makes Wealthy Affiliate different to other training platforms out there is the fact that the training is kept up-to-date.

Things are changing all the time online, but these strategies that Wealthy Affiliate teach in the OEC are evergreen.  Creating high-quality content that converts will always work, as long as you do it correctly as per the way Wealthy Affiliate teaches.

Another thing that makes Wealthy Affiliate different is the other elements they have included over the years, let’s start with website hosting.

Websites & Web Hosting

Granted, you can build a free website anywhere these days.  But with most, what you find is that when you start getting to a point where you are getting decent amount of traffics you then need to start paying over the odds for hosting as your business grows.

You might think that is just natural, but with Wealthy Affiliate you get Premium Web Hosting that could easily cost $250-$300 a month and yet you get it included within a premium membership that costs $49 a month.

That isn’t just the cost of the web hosting, that unlocks all of the features that are included within the Wealthy Affiliate premium membership.

That cost also includes the ability to have 25 full domain websites and 25 subdomain websites.  Elsewhere you could be paying $250 per website and not get the awesome training and websites that Wealthy Affiliate offers.  [Update – This will now be 10 domains for new Premium members].  But this is still a fantastic deal, compared to direct competitors.

Even if you are not ready, you will still benefit from the superior website hosting on Wealthy Affiliate with a free starter membership that gives you 1 free websites.

But know that Wealthy Affiliate will be there ready for when you need to take a further step ahead.

The only additional cost you will have on top of the Premium Membership is the cost of a domain with their own domain registrar.

Site Domains

You can register your own domains through Wealthy Affiliate, at a cost of between $13-$15 per year.  This will be pretty standard across the board.  But now that you will not need to pay any more as your traffic grows, you will not need to pay for an SSL certificate.  You just pay the annual cost of owning the domain.

SitePlus+

Wealthy Affiliate Siteplus+

Premium Members benefit from some awesome features that are not additional costs but are included.  These include Site Speed, Site SSL and Site Protect.

Site Speed – The speed of your website is a major factor in how you are ranked in the search engines and these features ensures your website isn’t slowed down.  Many competitors will factor in these types of features at the website end, which doesn’t always work out for the best.  WA do it at the server end, making a big difference.

Site SSL – Another factor for rankings and user experience.  This can easily be $100 for each website hosted, and yet is included in the price with Wealthy Affiliate.

Site Protect (Spam Blocker) – We all hate spam and WA protects your website from malicious stuff that can cause issues on your website.  Over 2 years with Wealthy Affiliate and never had an issue.

Site Builder

Whether you choose a free website or use a domain you bought through the WA Domain registrar, this is so easy.  4 steps and you will have your own website.

Wealthy Affiliate - Sitebuilder

Site Content with Access to Over 1 Million Images

Wealthy Affiliate Sitecontent platform

Site Content is a great platform within WA to help you create content for your website.  You can write your articles with it, publish it direct to your website without having to log into your website and you can also gain access to a library of over 1 million images without having to worry about copyright issues or having to buy them.

Images are so important to your user engagement and yet, they are surprisingly hard to get hold of unless you pay for them.  But with a premium WA membership you get access to any that you want.

I also like using the Goal setting features to set myself monthly targets to ensure I keep on track with content creation.

Wealthy Affiliate Sitecontent goals

Another cool feature that I like is the fact that Wealthy Affiliate will tell you when you content has been indexed within Google.  Google is the largest search engine online, why would you not want to know when Google has found it.

Website Engagement Tools

Until you start receiving some organic visitors to your website, which will not happen straightaway the pay-it-forward mentality within Wealthy Affiliate helps you out with some website engagement tools, starting with Site Comments.

Site Comments

Ever landed on a website page and seen no comments… It might show a website that doesn’t engage with its users… or is it a brand-new website that is trying to get itself out there and is looking like a website that doesn’t engage with their users.

It is a hard place to be for a new website.

Site Comments is a way of requesting quality comments from other people within Wealthy Affiliate.  You write comments on members website and receive credits towards being able to request comments on your blog.

This is a great move as the comments you will receive from WA members will typically be a better quality and can also encourage other visitors to your blog to also add their own comments.

You can also earn cash credits if you become a certified Commenter.

Site Comments - Get high quality comments on your content

Site Feedback

In the same vein as Site Comments, you can also request feedback on your website.  Get a feel for if you are going in the right direction.  Getting some feedback from experienced members can really help you with how your website interacts.

Give feedback on other people’s websites and then you can request feedback on your website.

Site Support

Occasionally you will have an issue with your website and need to contact Site Support.  I have had a couple of instances of where I have needed to contact them.  My experience has been epic.  They have always come back with a quick response and had it fixed by the time I have returned to my laptop with a cup of tea.

The support within WA is awesome.

Niche & Keyword Research Tools – Jaaxy

Within Wealthy Affiliate is the Jaaxy niche and keyword research tool. Alone, this is a powerful keyword research tool.  But combine it with Wealthy Affiliate and you have everything you need to start an affiliate marketing business, research your niche fully and uncover thousands of opportunities with keywords.

Keyword Research

Fundamentally Jaaxy is a keyword research tool.  If you are not yet sure of what keyword research is and how important it is to your online business, we recommend you read our keyword research guide.

Jaaxy - Keyword Research Tool

Every piece of content you create will begin with a keyword.  Writing random content will not lead to any sort of success, writing highly targeted content is the way forward and Jaaxy will help you do this.

Alphabet Soup Technique

Ever used Google Instant?  You probably have and haven’t realised it.  Whenever you start typing into Google a search it starts to give you predicted results.  These are generated from what others are searching for.

It is a great way of exploring opportunities within a given niche.  The Alphabet soup techniques is exploring a search term + the alphabet.

This way, you get tons of ideas to explore within your keyword research.

Brainstorm HQ

Get ideas that are trending, popular and lucrative within your given niche.

Site Rank

When your website starts getting noticed by the search engines, you will want to know where you are in the rankings.  Using Site Rank, you can track your position, with the aim to ensure you stay higher up the rankings.  We all want to be on page one.

Search Analysis

Keep an eye on your competition and discover SEO trends that help you keep on growing and ultimately earning revenue.

Affiliate Programs

You will be surprised at how many affiliate programs are out there.  By using these tool you will be presented with a vast number of programs that are related to your niche.

You can access Jaaxy either via your Wealthy Affiliate dashboard or via the Jaaxy website.  For quick searches, it is ideal from the WA dashboard.  But for more thorough research you need to use the website.

As a free starter member, you will gain access to 30 free searches via Jaaxy.  If you become a Premium Wealthy Affiliate member, you will gain access to the Jaaxy lite membership and this gives you unlimited searches but some of the operations are manual and not automated.

But from my experience, there is no need to upgrade to the higher memberships until you are ready and earning some decent money online.

All the Support You Could Ever Need

Whilst an online business means a lot for one person to do, it doesn’t mean you have to feel like you are on your own.  You are backed up with an awesome community, a personal premium coach and you will actually have access to the owners Kyle and Carson.

A Community of Like-Minded Entrepreneurs

At present, there is roughly 1.4million active members on Wealthy Affiliate.  Some are starting out with their online business.  Some are making money and scaling their online business and others are absolutely nailing their online business and are earning some serious money.

You will always find help within the community.  Either ask a question from the help centre or jump into live chat, you will get the answer need to progress within your business or you will be pointed to some training that shows you how to achieve it.

Get Help Whenever you need it

Live Chat

The Live chat is always active, and you will always get help.  In the screenshot, you will see Dale123 helping out.  He is what they call a Super Affiliate.  A full-time affiliate marketer who is really active and ready to help out.  Why is he called a Super Affiliate… well, it is also because of WA’s affiliate program where if you get more than 300 premium referrals in a year, Kyle and Carson fly you out to Las Vegas for an Affiliate Conference and Dale is one of those who attends.

Wealthy Affiliate Live Chat

Live Search

The live search feature allows you to quickly get around Wealthy Affiliate.  Just as you would in Google, start typing the subject you want more information on, and relevant training and blogs will appear for you to check out.  Some of it will be in the main courses, but most will be from another member.

Wealthy Affiliate Live Search

This is a great feature, and one that I make regular use of.

Private Message System

This is the feature you use when you want to contact a member directly.  If you wanted some advice and didn’t want to put it out in the open, you could create a private message to another member for more one-to-one type feedback.

Personal Premium Coach – Get Our Help

If you decided that after reading this post that Wealthy Affiliate is actually the training platform for you, you would get ourGet Our Help! personal help and support when you join WA.  Whether you decide to join as a free member or decide to go premium straightaway, we promise to help you out with whatever you need help with.

We are not there just to say WA is great and then leave you to it.  We will be there if you need us.  Here is a link to our WA profile page, drop by and say hello if you have decided to join.  Then as you go through the training, if you ever get stuck come and ask us a question.  We will always respond, and if we can’t get you answer straightaway (because of timezones) I am sure another member from Wealthy Affiliate will get you the answer for us.

But there is another thing that is unique about Wealthy Affiliate, you get access to the owners.

Access to the Owners – Kyle & Carson

Kyle & Carson - WA OwnersThere are a couple of training platforms where they state you get access to the owners, but then you find it is actually just an email address and you are never really convinced it is them who is responding to your emails or not.

Kyle & Carson are different, they have a regular membership like we do.  If you want to PM Kyle, then you can.  You will often find them floating around in the live chat answering questions.

Kyle helped me finalise my first niche.

Want to meet them?  Wait until we get to the bit about the best affiliate program on the market.

Whilst they are extremely busy, and you may wait a while for a response they do not shy away from the members and you can actually feel like they are real.  But just because they do not respond straightaway doesn’t mean they do not exist.

Want More…? How About the Affiliate Program = Las Vegas Affiliate Conference?

To truly and effectively promote something you have to love it.

If you just start promoting something because of the money,WA Super Affiliate Conference it never comes out in the content.

We love Wealthy Affiliate because of all of the features above.  We have seen it work and we know a lot of people where it has worked, and the Affiliate Program is also something else that shows that Kyle and Carson care.

We have already stated the price hasn’t changed in over 13 years, and they also offer an affiliate program offering 50% commissions for their premium membership.

With anyone who introduces 300 premium members in a year getting an all-expenses-paid trip out to Las Vegas to mingle with Kyle, Carson and other successful WA peeps for a 3-day Affiliate Conference that includes 1-2-1 time with Kyle & Carson.  Think about the boost to your online business that would achieve!!

WA Super Affiliate ConferenceThey fly you out, you spend the day talking about business and the evenings seeing what Las Vegas has to offer.

You will notice that it is not a dark auditorium with Kyle and Carson talking down to you, you are at the same table talking as equals.My goal is to someday get there, and you can achieve the same goals with hard work.

But they also realise that there will be people who cannot afford the premium membership yet and free starter members also benefit from the affiliate program.

Whilst the rates are not as high, you can still easily start earning enough from referrals to start paying your premium membership and then doubling your income.  See the referral rates below:

Is All the Positive Vibes around Wealthy Affiliate Legit?

It makes sense they have an affiliate program as they are into affiliate marketing, but this is where people get confused = Why are there so many positive threads around Wealthy Affiliate?

There is a major reason why you will mostly find positive stuff around Wealthy Affiliate… Because People who follow the training find it actually works!!

I know when you are researching in the Make Money Online world, overly positive reviews can sometimes mean the product is just being promoted to make money.

You will always get that, but hand on heart I can say that I have learned so much from Wealthy Affiliate.  Wealthy Affiliate is not all about promoting WA, there will of course people who choose to promote WA.  But there are plenty of others who are seeing success with their own niche website, earning full time income from it and have never got around to promoting Wealthy Affiliate.

Another key reason why people are so positive around it is the people within the community.  Everyone supports each other, those who abuse the system will be asked to leave.  But those cases are very rare.  You ask a question and you will get an informative answer because the person answering you cares.  Rather than just an empty response that means you still have to fish for an answer.

Why Do Some State Wealthy Affiliate Doesn’t Work?

Before I share some proven success stories with you, let’s get to the points around people believing Wealthy Affiliate doesn’t work.

There will always be an element of people believing WA doesn’t work because they made no money.  But when you really delve into why they didn’t make money, it was simple!

They did not follow the training and they also didn’t really understand Affiliate Marketing!

That is as simple as I can put it.  I often see new members come into the live chat asking random questions that show they have not gone through the training and are still asking why am I not making any money!

There are Affiliate Marketers who are making $5k a month easily from affiliate marketing, and nobody starts out like that.

It will take time and effort for you to realise your true earning potential from affiliate marketing.

It will not happen overnight; it will not happen over a couple weeks.  It might not happen for months or years.

That is what they do not understand.  They are desperately looking for a quick earner, of which I am yet to find one that works.

If you are considering whether Wealthy Affiliate is going to work for you, you need to ask yourself the following questions:

Will you follow the step-by-step training and advice laid out by experts?

Will you commit to putting in the time required to learn it and do it?

Will you commit to putting in all effort to making this work?

If the answer is no, you want something that requires less effort.  Then I thank you for your time and will let you continue looking as Wealthy Affiliate is not for you.

If the answer is yes, then Wealthy Affiliate will work out for you.

With the right time, effort and support you could be one of the success stories that fellow members write about.

Is There any Success Stories from Wealthy Affiliate? YES!

Success comes in a variety of different ways and remember that with all that you learn, success can be more than just earning money.

Don’t get me wrong, that is the core reason we get started but if I take my journey.  When I started out with Wealthy Affiliate, I did not know how to build a website.  I didn’t even know what affiliate marketing was…

But when you read some of the success stories within Wealthy Affiliate, it shows that you are not the only one.

Below are 3 examples of people who have acheived financial success that show the training works at Wealthy Affiliate.

My First $3,000 Sale!

Vegas 2020 – Here I Come Again!

Milestone Month: $1,000+ Commissions (Finally)

I have just picked three, these were all recent (at the time of writing this post) and showcase the journey people are taking to achieve success.  A key vibe you will notice is the fact that it is from the training available at Wealthy Affiliate that has allowed them to achieve these successes.

But note, that all three of these guys worked really hard to acheive those success and they will be the first to state that following the WA training is key to finding success.

Your Own Successes

You will have you own successes too.  Starting with having your own website, getting your first post ranked within the search engines, getting your first organic visitor, etc.  There are a lot of successes for you to find, with Wealthy Affiliate.

How Much Does Wealthy Affiliate Cost?

Let’s face it, Wealthy Affiliate is a comprehensive platform offering training, websites, tools, support, etc.  Any and all things you need to get started online.  There will be a cost element, but that in itself shows the true side of Kyle and Carson.

Back when Wealthy Affiliate started out, it was just a service where they generated profitable keyword lists to clients on a monthly basis.  The price back then was $49/month.  That was 2005 and yet the price hasn’t changed.  But it includes everything you need, including the Jaaxy keyword research tool which used to be a separate membership.

There are two memberships within Wealthy Affiliate.

Free Starter Membership

Let’s clear up a common misconception, this is not a trial membership.  It is a membership that gives you certain premium features for 7 days.  If you decide to upgrade within the 7 days, you do get a discount on the first month.

But if you decide not to upgrade, it doesn’t matter as your free starter membership will still be active.  You will not be able to access the full Wealthy Affiliate platform though.

You will be able to go through the first ten lessons of the Online Entrepreneur Certification Course and the first ten lessons of the Affiliate Bootcamp training.  You have access to two of the classrooms and you will also be able to use Jaaxy for 30 free searches.

The way I remember Kyle pitching this membership when I started, was it a great way of getting a proper look at Wealthy Affiliate to help make up my mind on whether it was the right fit for me.

That is how I see it, there are people who have stayed free members and managed to refer people to benefit from the affiliate program and then upgrade.

But, to be honest with the training and support that you get in the premium membership you will need to upgrade to truly benefit from what Wealthy Affiliate has to offer.

Premium Membership $49/month, $234/6-months, $359/year

For less than the cost of a cup of coffee a day, you could have the ultimate platform online for an affiliate marketing online business.

You will gain access to all of the features we have shown you in this guide.  I appreciate it might look like a lot, but then consider this.

If I wanted a website that matched what WA has to offer elsewhere, I would be looking at this kind of price for one website. (I can have up to 50 websites on WA):

  • Web Hosting $250/month
  • SSL Certificate $100/year
  • Domain Registry $15
  • Keyword Research Tool $99/month

Or I could pay $359 a year, and only have to pay my Domain Registry once a year of $15.  That makes it a no-brainer really.

Then you factor in all of the training, engagement tools, support.  Nowhere else could you say you could get the same treatment for the same price.

How Does the Wealthy Affiliate Really Work?

Wealthy Affiliate provides you a solid foundation for an affiliate marketing business.  By the end of the lessons you will have learned the fundamentals needed to build a profitable online business.

It will give you solid support you can rely on at any point throughout your business life.

Yet, people still ask the question “does Wealthy Affiliate really work?”

For that to be answered, you need to understand one thing.  Wealthy Affiliate will not build your business for you, it will not create the content for you.

If you want to be one of those successful people at Wealthy Affiliate, you need to understand you need to work your backside off to earn money online.

They provide you a step-by-step guide that all you need to do is follow and take action based on those guides.

But if you are thinking you can sit back and watch the money roll in, you need to think again.

The honest reason why people walk away from Wealthy Affiliate after a couple of months… is because they underestimated the time and effort required to build a profitable online business and yet they were told it would take time by Kyle in the first lesson.

They don’t necessarily think it is an overnight success business, but they feel after two months they will have something to show for it and that is because they are thinking money.

But here is what you will have under your belt within just two months and following the training at Wealthy Affiliate.

  • How to Build a Website & Be Able to Provide that service to others
  • The correct way of doing search engine optimisation
  • The correct way of doing keyword research
  • How to create content that converts

Success isn’t just about earning money; these are all aspects that you could take away and earn money through freelancer work until your website is earning money.

Many people are taught the wrong way on how to do SEO or Keyword Research and you will be learning from the best and be able to help others.

We all want to be able to earn money, but if you can understand you are building this for the long-term game you will be in the right mindset to keep working until it does start earning you money.

You will never meet such an involved online community that is here to help anyone and everyone who joins.  I have experienced some forums before where you are waiting hours for a response, and yet within WA you get a response within a minute.

Is Wealthy Affiliate for You…? That Depends!

One thing that I know Kyle and Carson are keen to point out from the start is that if you are not willing or able to put in the time and effort to realise the potential from Affiliate Marketing, Wealthy Affiliate isn’t for you.

You will need to spend time on a business that will ultimately earn you money, but realistically will not do so in the first few months.

Some do achieve this earlier; others have to wait a little longer, but this is about building a business and not playing at it.

The more you focus on the money (or lack of it) you more you will fail, because you will not want to keep creating content.

If you stop creating content, all you are telling the search engines is that you website is dead.  So why should they rank it?

But if you are ready to work hard, put in the time and effort and learn all you can from Wealthy Affiliate you could easily be earning a full-time income from Affiliate Marketing.

This is not about ability; the training will ensure you fully grasp all concepts and the members will help you out if you want more detail.  This is about whether you are able to commit to a model that will not earn you money straightaway.

I am not going to lie to you, many people give up because their expectations were not realistic.  We did not earn anything for 6-months.  If we had given up at month 5, we could have been one of those people who says Affiliate Marketing doesn’t work.

It isn’t the model; it was my expectations.

So back to whether Wealthy Affiliate is for you:

Can you honestly commit to the time and effort needed and have realistic timescales?  If you can answer yes, sign up with a free Wealthy Affiliate Starter Membership and fully immerse yourself into the training and community!

Free Starter Membership with Wealthy Affiliate

If you are thinking, I need money more urgently I wish you luck.  But know this, we review many products that claim to earn you money overnight or instantly and they all end up requiring a lot of money and also, quite simply do not work!

If is entirely up to you which direction you take but know that Affiliate Marketing is the best option for a beginner starting out online and you will not find any better training platform than Wealthy Affiliate.

    • Hi Adyns68,

      thanks for checking out our blog and for writing some comments.

      Wealthy Affiliate offers such a comprehensive training platform that for some, it seems like it is too good to be true.  But in actual fact, it is the culmination of what Kyle & Carson have worked so hard to offer – a Simple guide that helps people.

      In every vein of WA, it is about helping people.  Helping people will convert better than selling people.  So the platform is the personification of that premise.

      You will always find people that want quick success and think WA doesn’t help and that is because there is no quick success anymore.  You have to work hard, but with WA you work smart which is awesome.

      thanks again

  5. This is my 10th month in at Wealthy Affiliate as a premium member and I have to say that I do learn a lot from the platform. I find Jay’s weekly live training is very up to date and informative. It is nice to watch him show how to do certain tricks in Ninjay style live, so I can just follow along.

    The site comments is a nice little touch for me as well, as the community members help me out with comments and bring some traffic to my site. 

    The community people are amazing, I have never joined any platform where people are so positive and willing to help you when you have any question. It is just a good environment to be in.

    It is also easy to reach the owners as well. There was once I had a little problem with my payment and they got back to me with in a week which is reasonable because they have so many members.

    I am just happy that I found WA. Thank god I did not join Dan Lok (another pricey platform that which promise you the secret) and found WA instead.

    • Hey Nuttanee,

      thanks for checking out our blog and for writing some comments.  The support is an awesome feature within Wealthy Affiliate.  Whether you are new or experienced, everyone helps each other out and I feel it keeps myself motivated because of that.

      I do love the weekly Webinars, Jay has a way of making sure you understand it.  He could be explaining quite a complex subject and still make sure you understand it is a simple way.

      I have seen Dan Lok’s high ticket offer and whilst it might have some benefit, it will end up costing you your life savings before you actually achieve it.  Wealthy Affiliate wants to help anyone and everyone who wants help, and not just those who have tonnes of cash to spend.

      thanks

  6. Thanks for this comprehensive backend tour on Wealthy Affiliate. I signed up a couple of months ago and didn’t take full advantage of the 1-week trial to check every aspect of the platform. So I am basically stuck as a Starter member, still contemplating whether to upgrade or not. One thing that really intrigues me is the commenting system. I’ve never seen this type of feature in other affiliate forums before. This sounds like good exposure for new sites. 

    Reply
    • Hey Cathy,

      thanks for checking out our blog and for writing some comments.  The decision on whether to upgrade or not really comes down to how serious you want to be with regards to starting an online business.  It unlocks some powerful features such as the comments platform to aid your business.

      Google is looking at a number of things when looking at your website when they are looking at where you are ranking.  One of the key components is user engagement.  Comments benefit you on two counts:

      1. It is showing engagement with your website, and typically the comments you get from WA are much higher quality than those you will gain organically.

      2. It is also adding content to your website. Which is a major plus for Google too as they want comprehensive answers to the questions to show to their users.

      SIte Comments is a great way of new website owners to get these important comments. It is a premium feature but with everything else you get within a premium membership it is well worth it.

      thanks

  7. Excellent outline and it’s something resembling of a Wikipedia page. One reason I was hesitant to join WA was because I found the platform extremely overwhelming, but after a while, I just kind of went by trial and error. However, for those looking into WA but may be going through the same hesitations I went through, your article can give them a literal step-by-step guide, covering literally everything one needs to know to get started at WA.

    • Hey Todd,

      thanks for checking out our blog and for writing some comments.  I think it is like anything new, it can be a little overwhelming.  But my advice to anyone would be to reach out if people ever feel like that.  You will not find any better community to help you when you feel like that.

      Hopefully our readers will understand Wealthy Affiliate a little better before jumping in.

      thanks

  8. Wealthy Affiliate is packed full of features and tools plus training that make it one of the best if not the best platform available on the internet where you can build a sustainable online business without spending a fortune. I have been with the site for 4 years now, and would never consider leaving.

    What is keeping me there is the fact that many of the features you have expanded on did not exist 4 years ago. The owners are constantly adding in more for members, making it truly a one-stop-shop for most of your tools and services that you will need as an online marketer.

    Even though I have expanded my market segments and reach over the past years into other areas, the tools and resources have continued to offer huge value for the money I pay. Things like the keyword research tool Jaaxy, the free hosting of secure, fast, and effective WordPress sites, and the comment tool (where you can get comments for your posts) are useful for any type of online business.

    You have explained all the many features and benefits very well in this post and I can vouch for the veracity of the platform and the premium membership program that they have. This is a platform that you can ethically recommend to any and all prospective affiliate online marketers.

      thanks for checking out our blog and for writing some comments.  Appreciate your sharing your experience and thoughts about Wealthy Affiliate.

      I agree, that the owners are always looking at innovating the tools and services they offer to their members.  It shows they truly believe in the pay-it-forward mentality.

      Something that I feel rubs off on most of the members.

  9. John, you have created one thorough review of Wealthy Affiliate! I want to focus in on one aspect of the training. 

    You indicated you have not gone through the affiliate boot camp course yet. I always recommend people complete the Online Entrepreneur Certification course and get their first website up and profitable before doing the boot camp course. 

    I think most people do not succeed with WA is that they are in a hurry to make money. So they never give their non-make-money-online niche website a chance. 

    Reply
    • Hey Glen,

      thanks for checking out our blog and for writing some comments.  I have gone through both levels of training, but I agree with you it is best to start with a niche website first before tackling the MMO sector.  It is highly competitive and you need to know your stuff to succeed.

      It is like many genuine programs out there, people do not take into account the real time and effort needed to be successful.

      So there will be people who try WA, and find they haven’t made any money within a few weeks and leave blaming Wealthy Affiliate.  When it was actually their expectations.

      I actually had a member complaining their website wasn’t making any money and wanted help, but when you checked out their blog they hadn’t written any content for 6 months.  When I gave them that feedback, they still felt they should be making money.

      Affiliate Marketing is not for everyone, and it is a common hurdle people need to consider – the time and effort needed to be successful.

      thanks

  10. I think that passive income is some of the best income out there and you’ve provided a really solid product here in Wealthy Affiliate. Really who wouldn’t like to make money while shopping, vacationing or even sleeping? 

    Wealthy Affiliate is not only one of the best platforms out there it’s also one of the best communities as well. Someone is always around to answer questions whether it’s tech support or someone in the community, and there is a wealth of knowledge at your fingertips. 

    Wealthy Affiliate definitely is recommended and everyone should follow the links to see what it’s all about!

    • Hey Pentrental,

      thanks for checking out our blog and for writing some comments.  Passive Income is the ideal base for a lot of people looking to make money online, they don’t need a magic software which many “guru’s” profess you need.  All you need is the right training, and we feel Wealthy Affiliate offers the best option to people looking to get started.

      I agree with you, their community is one of the highlights.  I have seen many other platforms where the community is non-existent.  But Wealthy Affiliate’s is alive and eager to help people.

      thanks for sharing your thoughts

  11. Thank you for this very detailed comprehensive look inside the Wealthy Affiliate platform. I am a premium member with WA and I learned some things I was not aware of (and also got some great ideas brewing) thanks to your in depth post.

    I couldn’t agree with you more that WA is a win-win all the way around. I joined Wealthy Affiliate about 2 and a half months ago and I could not be happier with my accomplishments in this short time period due to all I have learned there. I walked in having zero knowledge or experience with web design or affiliate marketing and I can honestly say that I am well on my way to building a successful online business.

    You have created a resource website with a ton of excellent information and tips. I will bookmark your site and return for more great advice. Thanks so much!

      It is amazing how much you can learn in such a short period of time.  Many people feel they cannot do what is needed, and yet after a month of the training at Wealthy Affiliate, they soon realise that with the right training anything is possible.

      The training is definitely comprehensive and gives anyone a solid understanding in affiliate marketing.

      The Site Comments platform is a fantastic tool for new website owners and what is more you can actually earn money from doing it too, which is a nice touch.

      Kyle and Carson, the owners are always there to help and it is nice to be able to learn from them and get in touch, which is not an option in many other training platforms.

      I looked into Dan Lok’s platform and cannot see any justification for the high price.  Wealthy Affiliate will always be our top recommendation and is ideal for beginners just getting started.

      thanks

  13. Hello John,

    I am very excited to read your blog. I am a newbie of WA. I got a few training on it. But I could not understand clearly about the platform. By reading your post I come to know details about WA marketing system. Your included points are amazing. Now I can understand that if I do step by step processes which you had mentioned, I can get successful results from wealthy affiliate marketing business. I think I would use my niche on health tips. Is it suitable niche for me?

    Thanks a lot for your valuable and helpful post.☺️

    • Hey Snigdha,

      thanks for checking out our blog and for writing some comments.  Glad you found it useful, it is sometimes important to know more about what you think you know.

      Personally, I feel health tips is still a little too broad.  I suppose it depends on what the health tips you are going to cover.  Thing to consider when you are choosing a niche is having a target audience in your head.  If the health tips you provide are ideal for that specific target audience, then you have chosen the right niche.

      Hope that helps?

  14. Hello, I was reading the article, and I was thinking: what is the excellent post! Everything is written in a perfect way and detail. I started thinking I need to go over again from the beginning class.

    Thank you for showing classrooms, classes, lessons, courses I even didn’t know they exist. Also, Live chart and Jaaxy ( I need to use it).

    Just I am a little bit short on time. I’m working full time so, sometimes I don’t have any power to check on WA or write content.

    Anyway, I am glad to be a Wealthy Affiliate member, and I am proud of myself for many reasons: I turn my weakness to strength.

    Now, I am struggling with Affiliate Marketing and need some help: should I start with e-mail marketing or pay-per-click, or affiliate marketing, like Amazon, Walmart?

    I am happy to be a member of Wealthy Affiliate. Thank you, Kyle, for support, Jay,  for significant Live Events and Help Center for answering any question I have.

    • Hiya,

      thanks for checking out our blog and for writing some comments.  It can seem that there are not enough hours in the day, I know how you might be feeling.  I had a full time job and trying to get stuff done can be hard.  But one of the most important things I learned from Wealthy Affiliate is how to be efficient and another key factor is to avoid distractions.

      To your questions, email marketing will need traffic.  So I wouldn’t worry about that until you have some traffic otherwise it will not work.  PPC requires a budget and it can be trial and error.  To be totally honest, go back over the training and ensure you are following it to the letter.

      Once you have built up an organic audience, you can then start to utilise email marketing and PPC.

      thanks

  21. Hi, I would say from my experience,without a doubt Wealthy affiliate is the best learning affiliate marketing platform in the world. I don’t think there would be something that you have not illustrated about in your in-depth review post.I some often see that people asking how does the Wealthy Affiliate really work?I am totally agree with all of your answers to this question. You are truly providing right information to your viewers and lead them to the right path.
    I am a part of this fantastic platform for a few years and when I compare Wealthy Affiliate with any other identical platform and see how they are charging people for getting access to initial tools or training, I then came to conclusion that No other platform like WA could give best tools,staff,offers to people just Only charging for this amount $49 a month. Although you talked about it as an example, just think a bit about SSL certificate feature again,SSL which is so critical aspect when it comes to make transaction between client and site owner;It is free!
    Or think about Jaaxy keyword research tool or content creation tool and so on. Over all, I am really satisfied with this remarkable platform.
    Rock on my friend!

  23. What a throughout unbiased review of Wealthy Affiliate. I found out about Wealthy Affiliate last year when I was doing my research on another high ticket training. I have always been that person where I do not mind spending money for knowledge but it has to be worth my money. 

    I love the fact that WA gave a free trial and all they asked from me up front was just my full name and my email, no credit card information! 

    After I tried out the free trial, I was hooked. Kyle said it up front that this is not a get rich quick sway and he explained the SEO and also how you want to treat your readers like your friends (made a lot of sense because it takes time for people to trust a stranger). I was hooked after that and became a premium member. 

    I also enjoy Jay’s weekly live training (Ninjay). He is very knowledgeable and I love that he showed us a little trick and tips on how to thrive in affiliate marketing. 

    I guess you have to try it for yourself, what is there to loose? It’s free 🙂

    My favourite part of the platform is the hosting. It is great to have all your sites so easily accessible on one platform and you don’t even have to remember your passwords for each site as WA does that for you. The secure hosting and certificates make the websites very difficult to hack so I am confident I am in the right place.

  27. Thanks for sharing your personal experience with Wealthy Affiliate with your readers. It’s very helpful to have an inside look at the nuts and bolts of an operation to get a sense of what one is signing up for. It’s super great to be able to enjoy a free trial offer and free training, as those can be important steps on the path to online success. It’s great to know that beginners and experts alike can get site feedback from real people who are genuinely interested in helping others to succeed as well. 

    Thanks so much for this insight and I wish you continued success with the program! Cheers!

    • Hi Aly,

      thanks for checking out our blog, we really appreciate it!  I agree, when you are shown something it makes a massive difference in what you feel about something.  Anyone can tell you anything, but to show you is a much better way of you learning what it is really like inside.

      There are so many aspects about Wealthy Affiliate that makes it an ideal place for new and existing affiliate marketers.  The site feedback function is especially helpful to understand how you can improve the user experience of your website, or whether your content requires a tweak.  It is an often undervalued function, but is so important if you are to build an online business with the user at the heart of what you do.

      The free membership is more than just a free trial, it is a full membership that does not expire.  Not everyone is ready to commit or pay out straightaway, and that is ok.  Kyle, Carson and everyone understands this and that is why the free website and free training gives you a full insight into what Wealthy Affiliate can offer you.  They again show you by giving you these things for free.  

      Many people do decide to go premium and then transform a small website into a profitable online business. But even if you do not, you can still benefit from your website being on their free hosting and can always work your way up to paying for premium.

      Helping people is what works with affiliate marketing and Wealthy Affiliate is a platform where help is at the forefront of everything they do.  The community is there to help, the training is there to help.  All you need to bring to the table is the time, dedication and patience needed to turn it into an online business that makes you money.

      I digress, but for those ready to work for it, Wealthy Affiliate is the ideal partner!!

      All the best Aly,

      John

  28. Thanks for the recommendation and a great review. I just finished taking a look at it and I’m in. What I liked the most is how responsive and helpful is the entire community. I’ve found a lot of people addressing users’ concerns in a timely and direct manner.

    As you mentioned in your post, there is a huge amount of training material available here; all of them identifying related task to accomplish (so you could easily transfer from theory to practice).

    I’ve gotten the trial period and I have a very good impression on it. Thanks a lot for sharing!

    • Hi Juan,

      thanks for checking out our blog, we really appreciate it.  One of the first things you will learn when you start really exploring Wealthy Affiliate is that helping people is one of the major reasons why Wealthy Affiliate is so successful.

      The owners help people, the members help each out, the training helps.  It is a common theme and we love it!

      Helping people is what we enjoy about an online business, and when you first hit the training or the live chat and see that people are treated like equals and share knowledge willingly, it is very motivating and inspiring.

      We are so glad you have decided to give it a try, and we hope you achieve your goals!

      All the best

  29. Wow! This is the most detailed review on Wealthy Affiliate that I ever came across. You’ve really explained things on the inside. I’m a member and just a beginner. There are some things I don’t know you talked at length.

    You’ve really made your point here. Wealthy Affiliate is a great platform especially for beginners. I was very excited when I found that Google have indexed my website. It gave me this impression that I’m progressing. It’s great to see people that have spent years on the platform and still succeeding. I’m currently working hard to reach that level.

      We love Wealthy Affiliate and feel it is the right environment for someone who is just starting out with the online world and looking at making money online.  You are definitely in the right place Leon.
