     Hi Jim,

     I’ve found over the years of working online that there’s a mentality that one needs to develop in order to be successful.

     And this is really for anything in life, online business included.

     It’s that mentality of being proactive to figure things out, and to stop the mentality of constantly needing someone to HOLD YOUR HAND.

     I still have problems with it myself from time to time and want to bounce ideas off people and so forth. In the end, it’s up to me to find the information I need to make an educated decision on whatever delima I’m facing when it comes to working with my online business.

     The reason I mention this is because I really think that Wealthy Affiliate is about as Hand Holding as it gets when it comes to needing help to make a successful online business.

     There can be a ton of questions about a number of subjects and that’s why I love Wealthy Affiliate so much.

     For example, you can ask direct question in their search bar and get tutorials on the subject or you can directly ask your question to the community.

     Many times when I first started with Wealthy Affiliate and I had a question at hand that was troubling me, I would ask my question and get an answer from the Community only to find 10 tutorials that could have helped me out more quickly.

     The reality is that Wealthy Affiliate is laid out with step by step instructions and tasks to complete. You have to take action. And when you get stopped by not knowing what’s the next step is to take, you can ask the community and even the owners.

     I’ve found out that throughout the years of working online that if you are not someone that can break free of the ‘Hand Holding Mentality’ than you should not start an online business.

     It’s that serious!

     It just won’t be worth your time. I’m not saying that’s what happened to you Jim, but this has been my experience seeing 1,000’s of new students enter WA.

     Those that find success online are the ones that are proactive about taking action on problems and tasks.

     Wealthy Affiliate gives you a simple, step by step courses to take you from newbie to successful online business owner.

     But it’s up to you to make it happen.

     Best,
     Todd

   Hi Todd,

   I must confess that I was amazed by your reviews especially on Wealthy Affiliate. I am from Nigeria (you know what it is, Nigeria ranking top when it comes to scam and spam). I’ve been trying to show that I’m different from others by learning a lot of skills as much as I can.

   I’m good at producing good musical beats (I’m a pianist), designing graphics and designing website using Content Management Systems.

   I was so convinced about WA and clicked the sign-up button but I got the bomb:

   “We’re sorry but we are not able to create your account at this time because your country is not supported”.

   I really have a lot of ideas that I can put together to form a couple of niches and get some cool bucks in my pocket monthly or so, but I don’t know how to overcome this barrier. What are your words of advice for me?

   Thank you.

     Hi Stephen,

     Thanks for your feedback. As for the blocked countries, I believe it’s just from the Starter Membership.

     From the last discussion on this topic, anyone from one of these countries can get a Premium Membership, but not Starter.

     And it is because of the overwhelming amount of spam and WA is a non spam environment.

     Maybe I’m wrong, but you’re welcome to check out the thread right here.
     Based on your comment, I think you’d be great at putting together niche websites, sounds like you’ve got tons of talent.

     I’d highly encourage you to start with WA if you can.

     Let me know if I’ve got my info wrong if you would be so kind.

       Hi Todd,
       I could not give a reply yesterday because I was catching some real fun with something. Guess? It was with Jaaxy!

       I don’t think there is any tool out there that is as useful. I’m glad to inform you that I used this tool and I discovered a couple of niche I feel I should fit in.

       Now, I have some questions (warning: this could be exhaustive [just kidding—smiles]).

       I read many of your posts on this site [just like you might have guessed] and I want to keep the questions all in one piece. Alright, like I mentioned previously, I read that it is possible to use a proxy (VPN) to register for the starter package of WA.

       That will reflect another country entirely. Now, this is the point: I want to be original! Does that mean I will be filling the registration form as the chosen VPN country or will there be any harm or consequence stating that I’m from Nigeria and registering for the package since it’s not allowed? I guess that will look phishy, right?! Please, what’s your take on this?

       Again, $49 dollars sounds like a lot on here (But still, I’m going for it! Believe me, no Medical Doctor [after 7 years of education and training] earn as much as $1,500 a monthly in Nigeria).

       If I can register for a starter package and take the classes, can I go for a web hosting cheaper outside WA just for a while and when I have the fee, come back to upgrade to premium?

       Finally, I thought holding all of your ideas (niche) on a single website is a great idea but I’ve read that it might not be pretty cool as it might not attract targeted traffic especially when you have a product to market. Do you think that’s the right message I should hold on to or do you think I might be feeling delusional from excitement and didn’t catch the big picture about this?

       Ok, I think that will be enough for now [sorry for making it lengthy]. I must admit that you’re doing great! Keep this up bro.
       Be cool!
       Stephen.

         Hi Stephen,

         Good to hear back from you. I used VPN in Colombia at times for some sites like Pandora when I couldn’t access my account.

         I don’t have any advice as to base this concept with your online business.

         My first question in your situation is who may be one of your primary affiliates. I’d want to make sure that the affiliate doesn’t have a problem with your location and there is a way to get your funds once you start producing affiliate commissions.

         If that’s Amazon Associates, get on their site, ask the questions, etc.

         If you can’t get paid as an affiliate, then you need to sell advertising. That’s again another question to find out payment. Does Google Adwords accept your country and can provide payment. Can you get a PayPal account.

         If so, you good to go forward.

         Once you know this info, then keep things simple. You want your niche site to be about one niche. I used to want to do this too, and I have with 2 posts that were slightly off topic, but in general, you are creating posts (really funnels) that lead to other helpful posts that then lead to a buying decision.

         So it’s all got to be targeted and on topic. The more specific the niche, the quicker to rank traffic and convert sales.

         You could do a site just with your name and make the theme about your reviews, product recommends, but I think you’ll find you need to follow a niche theme or idea for the site.

         As a starter member, you can have 2 free SiteRubix websites with free hosting. As a premium member, you can host up to 25 sites for free, get SSL certifications for free, and cloud hosting for free.

         I don’t think Starter Membership is available for you in your country. Maybe the VPN thing will work, but if you’re going to take all the classes, you might as well go Premium.

         It took me 9 months to get through WA’s coursework, so if this is seriously for you, WA is a pretty inexpensive education that can do great things for your future.

         Hope this helps,
         Todd

     Dear Todd,

     I was checking out on Amazon Selling Machines when I landed on your reviews. Needless to say, it was your extensive review that has helped put things into better perspective and helped me make the decision I needed to make.

     Thank you so much.

     You will Joe. If you want to use WA’s cloud hosting you just need to point your DNS setting towards WA’s. There’s simple tutorials to do this and I’d encourage this.

     WA sites have a SSL certification (http to https) that offers several advantages to your site and it typically costs an extra $30 – $50 per month but is free at Wealthy Affiliate.

     I’ve switched all my sites and now I’ve switched my domain name registrars to WA from GoDaddy and Namecheap.

     It’s just a better experience and much more economical with more value at Wealthy Affiliate.

   Curious if money can be made if you have no business plan in mind and no product to sell? Will this course show me how to do that. I’m looking for a way to stay home and make money. I’m not afraid of hard work! Thanks for your time.

     Hi Stephanie,

     Great question. If you’re not afraid of hard work and have the time to work on an internet based business, that’s part of the battle.

     The business plan is provided at Wealthy Affiliate. It took me a bit of time to find my own, but it’s laid out for you and pretty easy to follow.

     If you’ve got the work ethic, that’s a big part of it. Many people give up too soon and let their goals fade.

     You can absolutely make money without a product, you can make it from the advertisement. But for the most part, it all comes down to traffic.

     And that’s why I recommend people to focus on a niche they like (Read this post to learn more about niches). It basically can be a passion, subject, hobby, special knowledge set or interest. The number is limitless.

     It can even be simple about a favorite product you like. But again, the key is traffic. Connecting with a niche audience through Google/YouTube/etc. and then either making money by selling products, recommending products that lead to sales (affiliate marketing), or through traffic.

     Think of online business in terms of traffic. You can always check them out for free and take the first 10 free classes to see if it’s for you are not.

     Those who don’t try never have a chance at success. I’m certainly happy with the results of WA’s training.

     Hope this helps,
     Todd

       I do work full time! Are a few hours in the evening going to produce results? Does this program help you with the writing of the websites? I’m not a great writer!

         You bet Steph, happy to help and I get this question frequently, so I created a post for it.

         Although, Wealthy Affiliate just created a great 4 week Webinar Training on building smaller more product based niches that are easier to rank and profit from, but aren’t authoritative sites.

         This might be a great way for you to go, you’ll still have a month or two of learning SEO and how to build the site, but they walk you through it in a really cool way.

         They’re on week 3/4 but you can watch it whenever you like.

   This is the best review I’ve read about Wealthy Affiliate.

   WA is a really solid program based on everything I’ve read. It seems to be what you make of it.

   Those that are serious become successful, the rest quit. Is that about right?

     You’ve got it nailed down Neil. That’s exactly how it works. Wealthy Affiliate even states this on their education page.

     They’ve never seen anyone fail who didn’t quit.

     Go for it if you think you’ve got what it takes to make an online business a reality.

     If you can do it, it’s an amazing thing!

   Hello, Allie here!
   I was wondering if there is an age requirement with the WA programs?
   I am currently 17 (18 in upcoming August). I am willing to put forth work, time, effort, and passion, but will my age be an issue?

     Hi Allie,

     There’s no age limit at Wealthy Affiliate, although there are age limits for certain affiliate programs etc. I know one student who actually started here at WA when he was just 13.

     I must say, starting out like you are thinking is going to be a huge advantage. Especially if you take the next year like you’re going to college. Just take classes and work at building your site.

     Got to love it. If I was in your position, after being an Occupational Therapist and going to college for 7 years, I’d do the same thing. Good for it Allie. Let me know if you ever need any help along the way. We’re all here to help you succeed.

   Hi Todd,

   I’ve just arrived on this page 2 times today, from 2 different internet sources. I can say that I felt the power of quality market when I arrived second time. It’s impressive.

   Good for me that I found myself in a time when I enjoy a lot writing, changing ideas, reading stories and making some research before taking a decision that can change my life for good.
   In my opinion there are 3 kind of sellers:

   Number 1. Those who have very good products but no time, experience and/or money for creating a good market strategy around that products.

   Number 2. Those who have bad products but a killer design, professional content and nice ways to make the customers feel safe.(Like that chinese website with never ending refunding disputes).
   Good(rich) seller, bad products.

   Number 3. Those who have good intentions(like offering support, not just before, after purchase too), good(honest) content, user friendly platforms and good products.

   About me.. I had to start thinking about my future. I came in London 1 year ago because I wanted, in first place to learn the language, to take a breath alone and to find myself. Not being distracted I found more than 1 thing that I love to do but a very important one is the writing. I have never thought that I will love so much to write for people. I can do it for hours.

   Returning to my subject regarding sellers I remembered something that Albert Einstein said: “The only really valuable thing is intuition”. Now.. I don’t know about you guys but for me that intuition will be helpful. I want to start from the ground, to become a “Number 3” seller, to use the intuition for avoiding “Number 2” type of seller and to help “Number 1”.
   I know exactly how I want to be treated and I like to treat people in that way. I like to think that I’m the most non hypocrite person alive 🙂

   As you can see I just wrote down what I feel without selling anything. I just want to help people helping themselves by helping myself first 🙂 I don’t know how much sense have this to you but for me sounds like a lot.

   I wish you guys all the best and Todd, please continue this great job.
   Cheers!

     Right on Marius. I think with this kind of spirit and attitude you have, you’ll do great. I think the key to online success is taking a chance and taking action.

     You appear to be one who can do both of these things. It takes an adventurous soul to go to another country to learn another language and improve their lives.

     The success I have received online is simply from following the Wealthy Affiliate training, taking the courses, asking questions when I was stuck, and not accepting failure as an option.

     Every day I took a class, took action and worked at it. You can do the same my friend.

     I’m sure you know the link, but for those that don’t, get started with WA’s Free Starter Membership, check them out and see if you’ve got what it takes.

     I think you do and then some.

     Thanks,

     Hi Troy,

     Thanks for your feedback. If you are referring to being able to work from a mobile phone, I don’t know. I can’t do it, nor do I like my iPad. I pretty much have to have a mouse and a lap top to function in my online world.

     I’m sure it’s up to the person, that’s just me.

     The Weekly Webinars might be an issue if you attend the live steaming courses, if you watch the replay, you’d have no problem using a mobile device. You also should have any issues with the daily classes.

     But when it comes to working with WordPress, Auto-Responders, etc., I can’t function with mobile.

     But don’t let my limitations stop you, I think there are WA students who’ve done it. If you’re serious about making an online career, you’ll eventually have to invest in your tools and training, and a computer would fall into that category.

     Best,

    How much can i earn on average basis in my first month, supposed i if had learnt and followed first month lessons properly and applied..?
    you must be wondering how cheap is this question.. but i know i would be out of money after applying WA.. not because WA is costly, but i am a financially low man. and thats the main reason i am planning to join here.
    but i am confident with myself that if WA is great i can be great too!

    Hello..
    i was initially impressed with what (LEARN TO GROW WEALTH ONLINE) has said about WEALTHY AFFILIATE.
    but when i actually tried to enroll for free starter scheme, it says its not available in my country (India).. and join for dollar 40*…
    which does not make sense of what has mentioned, like try one week free and carry on as you like!
    Now its my almost complete one month searching for this kinda online marketing system or money making infact.
    My question is – if the free lesson scheme not working, How come it may work with payment method?
    Sorry i am not going rude but bit headache after going through so much scam money system.

    i expect your fair support and response asap..

      Hey Migy,

      If you read through the comments, you’ll see this isn’t the first time this has happened.

      Here’s the deal. Wealthy Affiliate has a free starter membership but it’s not allowed in 11 or 12 banned countries.

      The reason these countries have been banned is that when originally allowed in the program, they would spam users.

      Wealthy Affiliate is SPAM FREE. Here’s the blog at WA that discusses this in more detail.
      The last thing you want when you enter into an educational program like Wealthy Affiliate is to be bombarded by sales pitches. The focus is on following the training and taking actions to build you online business.

      So that’s why certain countries are only allowed to use Premium. This way it shows who’s serious about learning at WA and those that are there to spam.

      Hope that makes sense. Todd

      Cool Larry, thanks for your feedback. You will find so many awesome helpers at Wealthy Affiliate. I do what I can to help my referrals and other members simply because there is a PAY IT FORWARD concept in the Wealthy Affiliate Community.

      To this day I still throw up questions to the community and get great advice. I know some countries are limited to only the Premium Membership, but I think if you’re serious about making money online and creating long term success, you should go for it.

      Give yourself 6 months to go to school, so to speak, and you’ll be amazed at what you can create. Here’s a post I think you should read to see if internet marketing is right for you or not.

      Hi Sonal,

      If you read a bit further down in the comments, you’ll see the reasoning behind certain countries not allowed in the Free Membership. Or you can check out the discussion here..

      The long story short: WA is a nonspamming environment, people are there to learn and not be influenced by spam and unfortunately, India has been a repeat offender with spam so the Free Membership has been cut off for people from India (along with 12 other countries that I know of).

      But for $19 the first month, this is nothing compared to the education you get, go for it. Even the $49/mo after the first month is nothing compared to any high level educational program. I’m a lifetime member for so many reasons. I run this site for $2.13/day with Wealthy Affiliate and I make full-time income from the work I did yesterday. Read how long it takes to make money online for a better perspective.

      Cheers,

    I would like to know if Todd is compensated by WA for his review of their site? Also, what if I wanted to start an online business selling a product, but didn’t want to build the website myself. It seems that WA is mostly teaching you how to build a website. I am interested to know where to obtain product at wholesale cost. I found a site that called themselves a “wholesale” site and ordered some purses. The purses were of such inferior quality that I wouldn’t even attempt to sell them at a higher price.

      Hi Marorie,

      The two most common ways to sell products online is by selling physical products (what you’re looking at doing and what I first did online making $1,500/week) and affiliate marketing (what I currently do to make a lot more money).

      If you don’t know the difference between the two, check out this post. OR this post on How To Sell Stuff Online.

      If you buy wholesale products and then sell them to sites that already get tons of traffic like Amazon or eBay, then I’d recommend you read our review of Skip McGrath’s training course. It’s the best value to learn to drop-ship and sell on Amazon/eBay. Especially when you look at other systems that cost 5,000 dollars versus Skips $150 Complete Amazon Seller Manual.

      There’s a lot of counterfeit products on sites like Aliepress and 1Sale – click to read our reviews.

      If you want to get real products to import, go with Skips training program and Alibaba.com. Alibaba is one of the best and largest Chinese wholesale suppliers. You still need to do your due diligence in selecting a reliable supplier.

      I got tired of dealing with bad orders from China, handling the customer service side, and the high risks of importation, so now I prefer to make money online with less hassle and risk via affiliate marketing.

      As to your question as to me making money off of my review of Wealthy Affiliate – I should sure hope so. 🙂 Kidding. I’m actually an affiliate with only helpful products that I know, use, or have tried and recommend because they benefit people who are trying to Learn To Grow Wealthy Online 😉

      So I make affiliate commissions every time someone buys any of the services I recommend and Wealthy Affiliate is my top recommendation. Not just because I make affiliate commissions by promoting their service, but because I’ve learned from them over the last 2 years how to create online businesses.

      There is no training program that can compete with them at this time. And this is not my only online source of income. I have a therapy site that makes a little (but hasn’t been developed like it needs to). I have a guest home business and my site brings me, new guests, every day. I have a real estate website that I bring in leads and sell them off to agents for 25% real estate commissions.

      All of this I have learned at Wealthy Affiliate. The focus is first on your website because 98% of the online business models need to have a website. It’s the home or physical location of the business. They next teach you how to bring in free traffic by ranking content. Then email marketing, pay per click marketing, and of course selling your own physical products or services online.

      So you can see that it’s the most complete training program available. If you set up an eCommerce site but have no traffic, you’ll never sell a thing. If you go with Amazon/eBay, they provide the traffic, charge fees for this and then you get your cut after you import products via Amazon Fulfillment Center or through your own logistical company.

      There you have it, all the sources to get building your online business. Let me know if you have any other questions.

      Thanks,
      Todd

    Hi Todd…..
    Your review was marvelous and really beneficial for newbies like me, a month ago something inspired me to search google for ‘online marketing’ and coincidentally i found my self in project breakthrough, I’m sure you know about it, it’s 14 days free video and i watched 3 of them, in fact i have learned many new things about digital marketing, keyword phrases, etc.. On day 3, video it required to be a elite member with $259 per year! i think as i heard in other videos you would be asked to buy up sells ! so i STOPPED ! after searching many reviews on PB i heard WA wealthy affiliate,so i went to WA website but i said to myself don’t do it like before,review it review it…so i am here in your website ,your perspective for online marketing especially for WA is really comprehensive,you taught me so much info on affiliate marketing and the many pros and cons (which is i think causes one to be overwhelmed). It makes my heart flutter with anticipation…but i would be grateful if you compare PB and WA in some aspect, skip the price cause i know it’s expensive.
    1-does PB is a scam or it is just too expensive?
    2-is the new project breakthrough you don’t think every new ideas at first would have unaccepted feedback?
    3-you recommend me to forget it and start a new page with WA?
    4-the funnel vick and jason talk about sitesuit has something more advanced over other program which makes it expensive or no it is just like that !
    so much regards :)…miran

      Hi Miran, thanks for your feedback on my site and this WA review. Have a look at our review of Project Breakthrough to get my take on it as well as for a comparison between PB and WA.

      WA is the clear winner because of the amount of value you get as well as the cost of the two programs.

      If you have any other questions after reading the PB review, just leave me a comment on the review and I will get right back to you. Wealthy Affiliate is my number one recommendation because their training is simple, and it works great.

      You have to be willing to go into any program ready to learn and take action. The clear winner to learn online marketing or create an online business is with Wealthy Affiliate, hands down.

      Best,
      Todd

          Hi Miran,

          What a tough dilema and I feel for you, I know how frustrating this can be after living in Colombia for 6 years and having to deal with similar situations.

          I know this can even be an issue with Amazon’s affiliate program with people in certain states. I personally lost many orders when I sold on Amazon because I couldn’t deliver to certain states. As well, I know that some affiliates restrict their programs with certain countries because the countries don’t have the infrastructure or the ability to work with international banking systems.

          I have no solution for you except if you know someone in another country that would allow you to use their address. There also is several programs that allow you to disguise your IP Address, just Google how to change ip address with whatever system and software that you are using.

          I’ve gotten around certain things like this in Colombia by using my US address, unfortunately that’s about all you can do unless you actually move to a country that does support international banking systems. Maybe you could even just set up an account with an international bank. I don’t specialize in this info so you’ll have to research this on your own.

          Thanks,
          Todd

            i googled the issue and read many reviews,finally i got this:
            as you told me in the previous comment i should use some one else’s bank account and address some one trusted because it is money issue you know,ok i can do this i know trusted dude in many allowed country but here is a thing,if iam working here from iraq,paypal knows my IP ?! or even i dont need to enter my paypal account my friend do that for me and send me the money i have gotten by cash ! by his method i can work i think !! or most of the affiliate networks doesnt agree to work with me because im in a restricted country ? but i have a aconfirmed legal paypal account i just give them the paypal email that is all ! the main question is that:
            the affiliate networks like click promise or google bank,amazon ,ebay …..etc ask my IP? or they just want me to give them a confirmed email address and sell things for them?
            thank you todd ,,sorry for asking you many explanation you see your review is very informative for us that is why we ask you big things …

            Hi Miran,

            Thanks for reaching out to me. I honestly don’t know the right answer to your questions. I would think that most companies (besides Amazon) wouldn’t care about your IP Address. They just need a valid account to make payments. I’m sorry I don’t have a more certain answer for you, but like you’re thinking, I wouldn’t think most would care about your physical location, just a valid banking system.

            Amazon can be a pain in the rear because I have had issues with IP Addresses with them before. I think if you trust your friend with the funds, you should give it a try. Nothing ventured nothing gained.

            Best of luck,
            Todd

    Thank you so much for all your information and I really appreciate what you promote. There is so many scams and poor training products for those that want to create a real online business, finally I found Wealthy Affiliate thanks to you.

    Thank you for this write-up. I found this by first doing research on ClickBank’s university program as use them as an affiliate and also have a digital product I’d like to launch soon.

    My question is do you recommend this program (WA) for folks who already have a trusted site and decent amount of traffic? It seems most of the program is for beginners. I currently get up to 1,000 hits per day on my main site and although I have a few affiliate products I promote, I feel like the site should be producing far more revenue than what it currently does. I feel I could be on that edge of something great happening, but apparently I’m missing something or not doing something right. Thank you, Jason

      Hi Jason,

      Thanks for the question. I checked out your site and you’ve done a good job. The site is clean, pretty easy to navigate, email opt in’s, etc..

      1,000 hits per day should be giving you an incredible online income. WA applies to newbies and advanced marketers. For you I’d recommend going through the Entrepreneurial Program and walking through the whole thing. Even if you know the task unless it’s something WordPress related and super easy. But I’d still look at each task and complete them as a newbie. You’ll get more content up, but I think you’ll benefit from the keyword research training.

      The biggest thing a guy like yourself will benefit from is the weekly Webinars (there’s 100’s to go through that I’m sure relate to your business). Even if it’s on email marketing, I’d still go through them. These guys (WA) always add some secret that I didn’t know that makes my online business more effective.

      You’d also benefit from the Community Support and the website building platform that gives you an inside look as to how your site is performing and where it needs to be improved. Oh, and the commenting platform to help boost rankings.

      How well do you know keywords Jason? I took one post you named.. Reasons to Drink Lemon Water Daily and looked it up using Jaaxy keyword tool.
      In Google, this keyword phrase gets searched <10 times per month. This is not the keyword phrase I would have targeted.

      If you were using Jaaxy, you’d have seen this phrase.. Benefits to Drinking Lemon Water

      The metrics for this phrase are… 3,375 monthly searches, if you rank page one you’d get an estimated 635 visitors/mo., and there’s 99 competing websites ranking for this phrase.

      Phrases under 200 are usually pretty easy to rank if you know SEO, keyword use, and how to write quality content to help your niche audience.

      Jason, I think you would really benefit from WA’s services. There’s a ton of training, more than I still have been able to go through and I’m a lifetime member. With the half a dozen sites I got, it pays for itself. I pay 29/month and that includes cloud hosting to my sites. So, where am I going to find that. Then I take webinars as I can, and really utilize the community support and a few other features.

      Hope this helps,
      Todd

I know Spanish students that are bilingual who have taken the program in English, but went on to make Spanish websites. But unfortunately at this time, WA is run totally in English.

      Hi Rajesh,

      I believe I’ve put very detailed steps on how to begin an online business using Wealthy Affiliate’s training, but let me try it again.

      We’ll also use India as our reference as you requested.

      There is of course the free Starter Membership that allows you to come in and have Premium like service for a week. It’s completely free to try. After the week is up, you’ll still have your free starter membership, but you can’t go further than the first 10 classes. You can still have two free websites and free hosting for those sites.

      The free membership doesn’t apply to 7 countries that I know of, and India is one of them. The reason being is that WA is a spam free environment, and the countries that are band have had an extensive history of coming into the WA platform and spamming other members.

      WA has created a platform where you don’t have to worry about being harassed.

      So this is how it would break down for someone from India or any of the other banned countries.

      NOTE: You don’t have to have any prior technological skills in order to learn how to put up a successful online business using WA’s educational program. I didn’t and it’s worked great for me personally.

      Step By Step Costs for India:
      – One month membership to Wealthy Affiliate: $47/mo or buy a yearly membership for $359/year (less than $1/day)
      – Buy a domain name if you want a professional business. Anyone who’s serious about having an online business should buy their own domain names. There less than $15/year.
      – Not Required, But Highly Recommended: A good keyword research tool. WA provides a tool, but if you want to streamline your online business, then a keyword tool like Jaaxy is perfect (also created by the owners of WA). Cost $19/mo or $14/mo if you buy a yearly membership.

      That’s it Rajesh. WA includes free hosting for up to 25 sites. There is no extra costs for other phases. With WA monthly membership, you get access to all training’s, webinars, and two distinct courses that are constantly being added to and improved upon.

      The only phases you’ll go through is the courses. Each course you’ll learn something new that’s positively affecting your online business. It’s up to you to learn and take action on what you learn to improve your online business. You can choose any niche in the world, and WA can teach you how to put up a successful online business.

      Wealthy Affiliate makes a bold statement behind their training program, and it is… You Won’t Fail. We Promise. It’s based on the fact that they’ve never seen one of their students fail who didn’t quit.

      There is no Up-Sells as well. It’s all laid out plain for you to see.

      I hope this helps. If you have any other questions, let me know. If you want to know what you do on a daily basis, let me know and I’ll give you an example.

      Thanks,
      Todd

    Hi Todd,

    I understand that WA will give me complete training to create a website to make money online.

    I am from India, hence free starter pack is not available for me. My question is apart from monthly fee of $ 47, do I need to invest any other amount (like bringing in traffic to my website or website maintenance) ?

    • Todd says

      January 13, 2016 at 8:08 pm

      Great question Gururaj. You will need to buy a domain name if you don’t want to use a free domain name, which runs about $15 dollars.

      I also highly recommend the keyword tool called Jaaxy. I use it every day to streamline my business, meaning when I write targeted posts to bring in free traffic, find domain names (as investments), search rankings, niches, etc. But WA also provides a free keyword tool that you can use).

      But the gold of Wealthy Affiliate is that they will first teach you to bring traffic to your site for FREE by learning how to produce content that ranks in search engines like Google, YouTube, Yahoo, and Bing. But most of the focus starts with Google.

      There are specific webinars that teach driving YouTube traffic that you will learn after you understand keyword research. This is where you can spend a bit more money with Jaaxy, but it’s not much.

      The owners of WA, Kyle and Carson, pride themselves on creating top notch internet marketing products. WA is their baby. The other great product they have is Jaaxy.

      And it’s a keyword tool I use every day (I pay $14 a month on the yearly plan, otherwise $19/month). You can try if for free, it comes with 30 free searches.

      And that is it my friend. As your site is developed and brings in organic traffic, you may want to learn pay per click, and WA has 2 entire sections devoted to Google Adwords and Bing Ads.

      Hope to see you inside Wealthy Affiliate.

      Best,
      Todd

          We have an attitude of pay it forward at Wealthy Affiliate. People helped me out and I try to do the same. When I get stuck, I use the search bar that is accessible from any page. Most of the time there’s a training already created about your question. If not, I throw my question to the community.

          It’s only the real specific questions when I ask the owners, I figure their busy enough and I can usually find the answer within the community.

          But it’s great that one has so many options for getting help.

            Wealthy Affiliate is a membership site, so you have to be a free member to leave profile messages and premium member to leave private messages.

            You should join the Free Starter Membership and check it out with almost all of the perks of a premium member to get a feel is this would be something that’s right for you. You can take 10 classes, set up 2 free websites, and see if it’s up your alley.

      Hi Eduards,

      Great question and thanks for taking to the time to ask. This is possibly the most beautiful aspect about creating an online business, it’s online, you can do it from anywhere.

      You’re going to primarily earn money online through affiliate marketing, advertising, and selling physical products. The first two are the easiest and least risky methods. But advertising comes when your getting a good amount of traffic.

      All these methods and relationships are built online, most all (close to 99%) of them require a website in order to get approval for those relationships.

      The only thing you’d have to check into before going forward is to know if the niche products that you want to sell will be supported in your country. Not all affiliate programs permit affiliates in all countries. I would first investigate the niche product in these steps.

      1.) Put into Google, or whatever search engine you use, your niche or a keyword phrase based on your niche.

      2.) Then add a + sign and affiliate program.

      3.) Hit enter and see what comes up.

      Many times you can find several different affiliate programs and/or the exact affiliate program for the brand name product you want to promote.

      If they exist, talk to them beforehand to see if you can get approved to be their affiliate based on your local residence.

      Once you know this, you just need to have the foundation set up to your website and have developed out a few posts to get approved for these relationships.

      Using white hat (good SEO) techniques that Wealthy Affiliate teaches, you can put up an a online business from anywhere in the world. It’s what I sought out as a traveler and what I eventually found. I only wish I found Wealthy Affiliate when I moved down to S. America in 2009. But it all worked out fine.

      The point is, if you want to put up a profitable niche website from anywhere in the world, you can do it. Follow these steps and once resolved, get started if you feel that it’s the right calling for you.

      Thanks,
      Todd

      Hi Alex,

      Your very welcome and I appreciate your feedback on my site, content and honesty.

      I’d love to tell you that for 2-3 hours/day that you could be producing 5K/mo in 4-5 months, but I don’t think that’s feasible. I think you could have a cool site up in a month, have some traffic coming to it, start making some sales, and you would have learned some valuable skills that you could even use to market your new found SEO skills to offline businesses. There are tons of businesses that don’t have a clue as to how to do SEO.

      It takes time for Google to recognize you as an authority in your niche and it takes content (that people are searching within your specific niche) to build traffic and then sales.

      My first months (2-3 months), I had 200-500 people to my site/mo. and as I continued to produce quality content on a regular basis my site went to 3,000 visitors/mo, then to 10,000 visitors/mo, and 15,000 and so on.

      It’s close to impossible to answer your question because it depends on your niche, how you use and rank keywords, and what products you sell or affiliate with.

      For example if you are selling high end medical supplies that cost $500 to $2,000 and you receive a 10% commission, you would receive $50 to $200 dollars/sale. But after that sale you wouldn’t receive anything more.

      Now if you had 10,000 visitors to your site per month that are searching a specific medical product (let’s say a lift chair or wheelchair) then you would have a ton of sales a day and you could make much more than 5K/mo. 10K x 10% conversion x $80/sale = 80,000/mo

      At the same time, say you were selling dating websites and they cost $30 dollars/mo for a membership and you get a 75% commission, now you’re at 22.50 per month with reoccurring sales each month (depending on how long the person who bought the membership stayed a member). So again, if you had a good amount of traffic you could see some good sales numbers that build on a reoccurring basis.

      Personally, I don’t think 2-3 hours is much to get something started, I think you can do it, but at this rate it could take you much more time to get to 5K/mo., but then again it depends on what you’re selling and how good of content (video and written) you can produce that resonates with your niche audience.

      I think of this adventure of making profitable niche websites like going to a university. How long would it take you to get a degree spending 2-3 hours a day, maybe 8 years for a bachelor’s degree.

      But the major difference with this and going to college is that you can work on your online business as you want to or can, you continually build out your site and as you do this you start to see increased traffic and sales and you don’t have to pay a fraction of what college costs.

      You also start to make more and more money each month as you continue to build your online business.

      And what’s better is that after a year, you could have a nice monthly income, even one that you pay a content writer and you just edit and do the SEO and you’re essentially making passive income. OK, maybe your spending 4 hours a week to make 3K/mo. If you stay dedicated to it after two years you could be making 5-10K/mo and after 4 years 10-20K/mo.

      I hope you can see the benefit and that I haven’t painted this picture too daunting, but for anything worthwhile, especially an online income that makes passive income, you’re going to have to work at it in the beginning. It’s real and Wealthy Affiliate is real, they can get you off to the right start, but it ultimately lies on you to take action and build something that you are passionate about.

      Those who can’t handle this fact should go back to their day jobs or go to formal college and rack up 100K for a four year degree that may or may not get you a job. For those that can invest the time into the WA education and their online business, the rewards are immense and awesome.

      That’s as honest as I can be Alex. 2-3 hours would work, but I would think it would take you much more time. Either way, think of it as investing in your future.

      I worked at it for a year full-time, I had to forget the money and focus on helping people and that made all the difference in my online businesses. Now I make full time income and what’s cool is my income grows drastically each month and I work about an hour/day at it. So you can see there’s this snowball effect with online businesses. It takes some time, but then it snowballs downhill and the money is awesome.

      I hope this helps you make the best decision for yourself. I’ve said this before, but if you never try anything new, never take a chance, you’ll never get anywhere in life. But if you take a chance, bet on yourself, get an honest and awesome education (a.k.a. Wealthy Affiliate), you’ll be amazed at what you can create. To apply, you need to be willing to learn, take action, and help people.

      Thanks,
      Todd

        Todd, I have come to know that free 7 days trial is not an option for four countries including India. Is it true? I am from India. If you could please let me know why the free trial is not allowed in India I will very much appreciate it. I am sure there must be a good reason why WA has only premium membership in India, just curious about the reason.

        Tons of thanks again!

          Hi Abi,

          It’s actually more countries than four right now. The reason Wealthy Affiliate banned these countries to join as free members is due to continuous hacking and cheating problem from those countries.

          So this discourages that issue.

          Now members from seven countries (India, Nigeria, Philippines, Pakistan, Vietnam, Bangladesh and Egypt) can’t join as free members in WA. However, they can still join as a premium level membership in WA.

          Please see this thread to read all about it.

          I’m sorry this is the case. For me personally, I watched a couple of training videos and really liked the style of the classes, so I knew right away that this was the right training program for me.

          I actually never used my Free Membership because I was traveling right after I signed up. And I immediately felt confident in the training that I had seen. Boy was I surprised how much more there was once I got inside the Wealthy Affiliate’s Premium Members area.

          My thought is that if you are serious about making whatever online goals or dreams come true in your life, then you need to be smart and get a solid education that also offers incredible support (even from the owners themselves). At this is what WA provides.

          You won’t be disappointed in the plethora of information and guidance for one months membership at $47 dollars. Hit it hard for one month and see what you can build.

          You will most likely not make any money right away, but if you work at it, I guarantee that you’ll have the foundation to your website set up, search engine optimized, you’ll learn how to rank your site to get traffic, and you have a strong direction established for your online business.

          This I can promise you because I know from experience. Hope this helps put things into perspective.

          Let me know if you have any other questions,
          Todd

    I just joined High Traffic Academy and paid $97/month then $197/month – the second was an up sell.

    I then saw your review of High Traffic Academy then your link to Wealthy Affiliate.

    You state that you have a free starter membership.

    Could you please tell me what the up sell items are and costs after the free starter membership expires?

    Thanks

      Hi Trevor,

      Happy to explain. You can also read my full review of Wealthy Affiliate which explains the process well. But the Free Starter Membership to Wealthy Affiliate allows you to come in and create 2 free websites and have free hosting for those sites. Plus you can take the first course to guide you in setting up your sites. The Free Starter Membership lasts for 7 days where you have access to WA like a Premium Member.

      At the end of 7 days, you don’t have to upgrade, you can keep your sites and keep building them, but to upgrade to the Premium just makes sense if you want to learn how to put up a successful online business. The first month of Premium is $19 dollars, and thereafter $47 dollars/mo or you can join for the Yearly Premium for $359/year or less than $1 dollar/day.

      THERE ARE NO UP-SELLS AT WEALTHY AFFILIATE! They do have a premium keyword tool called Jaaxy that helps find low competition keyword fast to help you get traffic quickly to your site as you build your site, but they also have a free keyword tool that you can use and even teach you how to find keyword competition for FREE using Google.

      But Jaaxy is just too easy and inexpensive to use if you’re serious about creating a successful online business, I use it everyday with my online businesses.

      So that’s it, no up-sells, just a massive amount of knowledge, support, and guidance to help you put up your online business and website.

      WA is pretty awesome for all these reasons. Also, with Premium, you can host up to 25 websites using their cloud hosting service at no extra charge. For 30 dollars/mo (paying yearly) you get access to successful marketers, a supportive 200K+ community, structured courses, free keyword tool, other writing tools, and all the training you need to be successful online.

      Hope that helps Trevor, let me know if you have any other questions about WA.

      Thanks,
      Todd

    Are you personally affiliated in anyway by recommending Wealthy Affiliate? What do you get if I join/sign up? And how to they provide free domains and hosting? Sounds to good to be true!?

      August 22, 2015 at 10:18 am

      Hi Mikayla,

      I am an affiliate marketer and affiliate myself with companies I know, use, and believe in. On this site, I strongly recommend a handful of resources that help people who want to make money online or create online businesses.

      So not only do I provide lots of resources on how to do this, I do also recommend and affiliate myself with the companies I recommend and of course Wealthy Affiliate is one of them.

      There actually one of the better affiliate programs out there because they are an amazing educational course for those new to building websites that make money and internet marketing.

      To answer your other questions. Wealthy Affiliate owns a couple other awesome resources, one being SiteRubix WordPress website builder. They have bought network cloud hosting to support all the domains they have. I personally have 5 sites that are all hosted on Wealthy Affiliate. Their free domains are those (like any other website builder company including WordPress, Wix, Blogspot, etc) that have the suffix name as the companies name.

      So for a site called YogaWorld.com, with a free domain it would be YogaWorld.siterubix.com

      Domains cost $15 dollars per year, so I buy my own, it looks more professional. And for the domain hosting, I save hundreds of dollars being a member of WA. I can also take classes or get help with my online businesses whenever I want.

      So you have got it right Mikayla, Wealthy Affiliate does sound to good to be true. Especially when you’re used to inferior resources or poor educational programs/scams. But WA is pretty simple, an all inclusive educational center and support network that teaches internet marketing and site development.

      Hope this helps and let me know if you have any other questions,
      Todd

      That’s awesome to hear. I think honesty pays off and I always try to show this trait on my site, so that’s really cool to hear your feedback.

      Glad you made it to WA. You’ll have questions and that’s fine, shoot them my way and don’t be afraid to ask others by using the search bar function.

      Sometimes you can find pre made tutorials about your specific question, other times, for fast results, put it out to the community. But absolutely, if you need my help, send me a message. I think you’ll do best by sticking to the Get Started Here classes and follow along.

      Complete each task even if it takes you a few days, but do it and do it well. Talk soon and have a nice evening.

      Hi Tom,

      Lots of good questions. You want to start your first site with a tight niche, and health problems are perfect. I wrote a post and need to do a part 2 to the post, but you can check it out and this will help with some of your questions. It’s called HOW TO CREATE A FREE BUSINESS WEBSITE – PART ONE

      I discuss two health problems of tennis elbow and plantar fisciiatis.

      I’m not sure if you’re a member of WA yet, but there’s an awesome 1 hour long training called: 6 Week Schedule to Profits where the trainer Jay discusses exactly how to do this.

      Writing content or doing YouTube videos is how you get traffic to your site which then can lead to affiliate commissions or sales of specific products. I use two techniques to see if there is enough content ideas for a specific niche and your can read about them here on this post: HOW TO FIND THE BEST KEYWORDS FOR MY WEBSITE – ALPHABET SOUP & JAAXY

      My best recommendation is for you to get started with the training at Wealthy Affiliate and take it one step at a time. The lessons don’t take that much time, but it takes learning and then taking action on what you learn. Online businesses take time and work, not always the most popular topic, but that’s the reality. So if your serious about making money online, no time like the present. Click this link to sign up for the free classes and see if you like it or not. I’ll send you a message on how to get started once your in WA.

      Cheers,
      Todd

    I have a few questions:

    1.I still don’t know what niche I should use. Do you think health website could be good? Or site about making money online – online programs reviews??
    2.Also I know we have to work hard to be successful, but I don’t understand which part takes most of the time? Writing articles? Improving webs?
    3.How many articles we should write per week?

      Hi Tom,

      Choosing a niche can be a bit tricky, you don’t want to choose something so broad like health or making money online because those niches are super competitive. But choosing something like Plantar Fasciitis or Tennis Elbow would be within health and much more specific. Doing reviews is a great way to break into any industry and making affiliate sales. But doing reviews about your niche is the way to go.

      Here’s two posts to help you look at niche ideas.

      HOW TO FIND A NICHE MARKET FOR YOUR WEBSITE & MAKE MONEY

      FIND YOUR NICHE

      To answer question #2: It takes time to learn how to build your site, writing posts, developing your social profiles like Facebook, G Plus, etc. Now some don’t do social networking and focus solely on content and then build relationships with people within their niche that comment on their posts, etc. But learning these skills takes time just like any other profession. You wouldn’t expect to become an accountant or doctor overnight, and this is no different. But if you have a good work ethic, learn what an educational system like Wealthy Affiliate offers, you can make it happen.

      Also, on the niche subject, choose something that you’re interested in. I know people who have successful sites based on: fishing, bow hunting, biking, motorcycles, art, etc. But go with something you love or are at the least interested in learning more about.

      To answer question #3: The amount that you write directly effects the amount of traffic you’ll bring to your site. I used to write 3-4 posts a week, but when doing reviews, sometimes to do a really good and honest review, it would take me 3-5 days. The key for rankings is consistency, so now I just write one post a week since I’m starting another site. We only have so much time in the day and so you’ve got to have balance to your life.

      When I first started this site, I’d work all day and night at it, and that’s great, because now I just work a few hours per day at it and so it’s now working for me. Or better stated, the work I did in the past is paying big dividends now.

      Hope that helps Tom, let me know if you need more info.

    Hi ´ya Todd,

    I am very glad for stumbling over your site… =).

    Been searching different internet marketing options for while and very often very

    shrinked back .. scam .. and very often labeled as scam in various reviews.

    Thanks for your reviews… and last one of Kevin Thompson.
    And also thank you for all the value you deliver on your page… =).

    A bit hard to imagine, what the WA training will be like, but that´s an absolut

    fab option they have, to be able to take a free beginning training..
    And then afterward the cool price-performance ratio.. at least as it seems..

    Have two questions.
    As a single, home-educating !! mum of 2, I have very limited time, but am very,

    very willing to take some time every day and take action and put in the effort.

    But can you say (very roughly) how many hours will have to be put in, before

    seeing any first earnings… ?? 🙂

    And are there any further investments necessary to the monthly fee, e.g. paid

    traffic or so, or do they work on getting and using free traffic.

    Thank you very much Todd,

    Jay =)

      Hi Jay,

      I just finished answering your question on how long it can take to see regular earnings. For your situation, it’s free to try, you can put up a free site that can rank and you can sell affiliate products from, so the risk is minimal.

      If you have the dedication to put in an hour or two per day (and depending on your niche as discussed above) you can create a niche site that starts making money on the side.

      The amount of hours is impossible for me to say. But like mentioned above, I’d think of it like going back to college, your going to be taking some time to get your education and then apply that education to your business.

      So if you only have a few hours a day, that’s fine. Just ease in to it, take a class, apply what you learn and go at your own speed.

      There’s a new student who has a cool site he start about 3 weeks ago based on his love for yoga/nutrition/meditation and he had his first couple of sales last week. So for him, it’s been a quicker process. But affiliate marketing takes time (I’d give it 6 months) to really generate a full time income.

      As for traffic, that’s the coolest thing that WA teaches, they teach you how to naturally get traffic through good SEO techniques and quality content.

      Paid traffic is discussed in the end of the courses and it can be used in combination to natural/organic traffic.

      No bad SEO techniques taught at WA, that’s why Wealthy Affiliate is known for helping people make authoritative niche websites that create long term online businesses.

      Thanks,
      Todd

      Hi Jay,

      Thanks for your kind feedback on my reviews, I appreciate that. And I’m happy to answer your questions about Wealthy Affiliate.

      To answer your two questions, here we go…

      As for any other investments or UPSELLS with WA: WA doesn’t have any Upsells to their program. They have a free keyword tool within the WA site, and they do offer and recommend Jaaxy for you to use as a keyword research tool. If you don’t know about Jaaxy, read my review here, it’s much more than a keyword research tool for an internet marketer.

      I am a dedicated user and believer in Jaaxy and it costs an extra $19/mo – there is a discount for yearly plans as well. This is the only other product that WA will recommend to you that they created and they recommend it for good reason. I use it on every post I write because it helps me find the right keywords in order to rank high and rank quickly. Jaaxy also has multiple functions you can use to pick out niches, check site rank, find domain names, etc.

      Since I started using it, pretty much ever page I write ranks, and many in the first page and first position of Google.

      Other than that, there is nothing more that you will need to buy to start out. I also use Aweber’s mail service for my opt-in page, but you can use Mail Chimp for free.

      As for your question as to the time frame before you start earning regular money: You need to look at this through a different perspective, WA is not like all the online money making scams that promise you quick money, it’s an education to building a long term online business.

      And as you know with most online money making scams, it never works out that way, you loose money not make money.

      It takes time to develop your online business just like anything else. It’s an education that you are getting and a business that your are creating at the same time.

      Remember, you have to learn how to walk before you can run. In other words, you have to learn to build the foundation to your online business first.

      Before you can expect to be living the millionaire lifestyle, you need to lay down the groundwork.

      Makes Sense?

      Start out with a Free Membership and try to spend a couple hours working the classes per day.

      Just ease into this. Otherwise you find it overwhelming. Keep a focus as to why you want to make money online.

      Maybe it’s the dream of living a better life, whatever, hold that passion in your heart and ease into online marketing.

      One of the biggest factors as to how long it will take before you see regular income completely depends on your niche, your work ethic, and your passion for your business.

      If your niche is highly competitive like the “make money online” niche or the “fitness and nutrition” niche, it will take much more time to see regular income. For highly competitive niches, you’ll start to see regular income in 6 months to a year. But the potential is much larger to make really big money as you develop your niche site.

      If your niche is smaller, you’ll start to make money around 2 – 3 months, and more full time income around 6 months. Smaller niches are the way to go when you first start out.

      In my Jaaxy review I was looking at Women’s Yoga Pants as a niche example. If I just did women’s yoga pants as my niche, it would take forever to make any money. But if I look at Hot Women’s Yoga Pants or Sexy Women’s Yoga Pants, then I can break into this niche very easily.

      Unfortunately, I don’t wear women’s yoga pants, so this wouldn’t be the best niche for me. 🙂

      If you know something specific, or have a specific hobby, this is the way to go. How to tie your own fly lures for fly fishing. I’d have to investigate this niche, buy I think it would be a solid one.

      I also have an Uncle who is an avid hunter, he’s developing protective glasses for hunters – This is an awesome niche idea.

      I have another friend who has a brand of bow ties, they’re making a come back in the fashion world and he’s doing great.

      Hope this helps Jay. If you can take the time to learn this profession, it’s incredible rewarding.

      But if you want that quick fix instant income, you’ll never find it, it doesn’t exist in real online businesses. It can work in scams, but eventually those fissile out and you’re back to the drawing board.

      If you have any other questions about Wealthy Affiliate, just let me know.

      Cheers,
      Todd

      getting and I would say you need to work at it at a somewhat full time basis for anywhere from 3 months to 6 months.

      Simply put, Wealthy Affiliate provides the best online training for anyone who wants to learn internet marketing, how to put up authoritative websites, blogs, niche sites, or have an online business.

      Hey Gregory,

      You are absolutely correct. An educational system built by successful online marketers that has evolved over 10 years from being a “Keyword” training course to a full on internet marketing/online business training platform.

      And the fact that they let you try it out for free is awesome. You get to come in and see what it’s like from the inside and sit in on classes and start building your website and online business. At the same time, for an online education that beats college and university level courses, paying $47/mo. is an amazing price for this level of education.

      I wish I had this educational system offered to me 20+ years ago, I would be making much better money than my chosen profession as an Occupational Therapist and I wouldn’t have spent 50K dollars on my education that took 7 years.

      Gregory, you’re making a smart choice using Wealthy Affiliate to start your online business. You’ll get all the guidance, support, training, and education you need.

      All’s you have to do is TAKE ACTION

      Thanks for your kind feedback on my Wealthy Affiliate Review and see you inside WA.

      Salud,
      Todd

      Hi Lamar,

      I’ll send you a personal email as well as answer your question here. Here we go..

      Private messaging – Refers to private messaging between other WA members as well as communication between the owners and support staff.

      Website security package – This service maintains 24/7 security monitoring over your free “Cloud” website hosting that comes with any membership.

      Website backup – Wealthy Affiliate backs up each and ever website. So if you mess with the code somehow on accident, WA will be able to restore your site. But I don’t recommend doing this 🙂

      Affiliate boot camp training phase 1 and all phases: This refers to the second training program I describe above. The Affiliate Boot Camp Training includes: defining your niche, develop quality content related to your niche, understanding and applying SEO techniques so your site will get ranked on the top pages of Google, building traffic through Pay Per Click campaigns, and finally monetizing your site so that you can make money.

      LIVE video classes: WA provides daily video classes in each class. Plus the weekly live Webinars are in a video class format.

      Keyword research tool: Keyword research is a big part of getting your website ranked, this tool provides you with insight into keywords that are vital to get your content seen. This is one of the ways WA helps you develop traffic to your website. Which is critical to make sales.

      Training class rooms: WA offers specific training class rooms that cover all topics related to internet marketing, you can find out how to do most anything related to website development and internet marketing.

      1 on 1 coaching: WA’s owners, Kyle and Carson, will actually coach you through issues that you are having. As well many other members. I personally just got off a Skype call with a fellow WA member to educate him on SEO Keyword Research and a specific SEO plugin. There’s a real, Pay It Forward, concept at Wealthy Affiliate.

      Mind you, I didn’t have any training in this profession less than 7 months ago. I didn’t understand this lingo nor understand how to do any of these tasks. I learned from this professional education and it was easy. It’s a incredible educational system. You just need to approach it like a professional university and you’ll find success.

      Thanks for your excellent questions Lamar, let me know if you need any more help. Hope to see you inside WA.

      Cheers,
      Todd

      Hi Jim,
      Thanks for stopping by my Wealthy Affiliate review. And thanks for the feedback. You’ve got it right, WA is an awesome online university and a bargain compared to any traditional affiliate marketing/entrepreneur programs that many universities are currently offering. Plus with WA, you’ve got successful online entrepreneurs to learn from directly. It’s the most comprehensive up to date program I’ve every known.

      Thanks again Jim and take care,
      Todd

    Within 3 days of being a Starter member, I could navigate around Wealthy Affiliate easily and even interacted with some of the top ambassadors in the program. After I launched my first website (and being a non-techie as I am), I could see myself needing a lot more training to achieve my goal as an online entrepreneur and WA feels like the right place to do that. Hence, I proceed with my paid membership.

    For the value of the money, you get access to website’s tools, training resources and community support. It’s a no nonsense program and that’s what I like about it. Currently, I have a full day job so it’s important that I use my time wisely on a reliable and trustworthy programs like the ones in WA, to give me a strong foundation on internet business.

    That’s one of the most comprehensive reviews on ‘any’ product or training course I have seen in a long time.
    A terrific idea of ‘sitting-in’ on a class plus a real bounty of fact filled information.

    Well done, I’ll be back

      I really appreciate your feedback on my Wealthy Affiliate Review. I just wanted to show what a professional educational experience Wealthy Affiliate is, and I feel it helps tremendously to see exactly what the program offers it’s clients. And from my point of view, it’s an incredible educational experience to teach anyone how to tap into the amazing potential that the online world offers. Creating an online business while learning is a gift to me. When you think of the costs of starting a brick and mortar business compared to starting an online business, the risks are minimized and the potential is immense.

      Thanks Jason, that’s really kind of you to say and much appreciated. I suppose it’s easy to write about topics that inspire you. Wealthy Affiliate has been an inspiration for me, so it’s easy to convey. Where else can you go in the wild west of the online world to get an honest education to teach you how to make a real business online that makes good money? It takes a little time and effort, but it’s worth the rewards.
      Thanks for your comments as always and have a great day.

      Dear todd…. I am currently living in Jamaica and has scoured the internet for LEGIT online income generating programmes , but all i find are scams and misleading get rich schemes that tell you one thing but end up robbing you. i am here reviewing this current website that you have recommended.
      How do i know that am not being scammed or that this is a LEGIT sight and not a ponzi scheme.

        Hi Hopeton,

        I hear your friend and can completely sympathize with your situation. As a matter of fact, I was in your position a few years ago. There are sooooo many freaking scams out there it’s a joke.

        Here’s what I do when looking at various online programs. I go to Google and use their Google instant feature and I research the program name with additional search terms like is PRODUCT X a scam, or PRODUCT X reviews.

        With Wealthy Affiliate, I can tell you they are not a scam, they don’t promise you will get rich, but they do promise you an excellent education in internet marketing and website development and they teach you how to make money online by creating your own online business.

        And that’s what they offer. They also offer a free, NO OBLIGATION, trial membership so you can openly check them out, sit in on classes and find out what they’re all about.

        This is a characteristic of real authentic online services. Look at Aweber for example, they allow you a free 30 day trial on their email marketing services. It’s a legit company that provides real services. Just like Wealthy Affiliate and Jaaxy Keyword Research Tool.

        I’d invite you to try WA’s Free Trial Membership and check them out for free and see what you think. They taught me how to put up several websites for online and offline businesses, they have tons of training to go through that is constantly being updated, they have new training added weekly with their Webinars, and they provide me free hosting for all my websites.

        I now make a real online income honestly and I had to work hard for it, but it’s real, honest and works. If you have any other questions just let me know.

        Wealthy Affiliate is not a scam but an educational platform to make your online dreams come true, the only trick is that you have to be willing to learn new information, apply that information, and work at building your online business. This is something that scams won’t tell you. They sugar coat everything as if it’s easy to automatically generate income online – there’s your tall tale sign you’re dealing with an online/offline scam.

        Cheers,
        Todd

      Hi Kay,
      Thanks for your message and great question. You still maintain your free account and have access to your 2 free websites and the basic training but you will not be unable to progress with your training with Wealthy Affiliate or communicate with the professors or community. But you can still develop your website on your own time and when you are ready for more advanced training, you can switch to a Premium Membership.
      Thanks,
      Todd

        I’ve used Wealthy Affiliate’s training program and couldn’t be happier with the results. I’ve got a site now that ranks content quickly and brings in traffic to buy my affiliate products and products I sell on Amazon. Wealthy Affiliate is a winning education for those that want to put up real online businesses.

        Great review Todd, your site is loaded with helpful content, nice work.
