WEALTHY AFFILIATE & MY 2 YEARS EXPERIENCE

---

Like I mentioned above, Wealthy Affiliate is a training platform for affiliate marketing and offers you a comprehensive, step-by-step, training course on how to use affiliate marketing to make money with a blog.

It takes the long term approach of building an authority blog where you can produce high quality content to help those within your niche.

The high quality content is what search engines will check out and determine whether the content is valued highly enough to be ranked on their first page of search results.

If you can rank high on search engines, you will get tons of free organic search traffic and thus that is how you will get enough visitors on your blog to make money.

 

 

The course at Wealthy Affiliate teaches you how to build such a website, how to use WordPress, how to build a good foundation for your online business, and then it teaches you how to use keywords, how to write with keywords, and how this will be the key to traffic to your site.

Then you’ll be taught how to use affiliate marketing and how it can monetize your blog website, how to choose affiliate marketing programs and affiliate products, etc.

Throughout your training, you’re supported on many different levels, you have business tools to use like SiteBuilder, SiteComments, SiteFeedback, Jaaxy keyword research tool, Live Chat, and private messaging for 1-on-1 coaching if you need it.

At its core, this is what Wealthy Affiliate is and simply offers two memberships:  Starter $0 and Premium $49/month or $359/year, get your free membership here.

That’s it, no other upsells or anything else except if you want a custom domain, about $14-$16/year which you can buy anywhere, not just on Wealthy Affiliate.

This is what Wealthy Affiliate offers in a nutshell and summarizes what you’re there to do, if you want to see more details of what they offer, go here.

 

My 2 Years Experience

I have seen a lot of people come and go in my time there as a Wealthy Affiliate member.  I have also helped a lot of people on the platform get started with their online business.

The number 1 thing that I love about Wealthy Affiliate is the help and support you could get on there, without it, I really can’t say I would have made any success on there.

It was totally the members on there that helped me through my journey and it was specifically the success posts I kept reading and re-reading that kept me going through months of hard work and not earning that much.

There is no way I could have reached the goals like I did this year without the help of Wealthy Affiliate members.

I and every member have access to literally 6 figure earners and even millionaires on there, millionaires are rare, but I have met them too.

Here are my 2 year results to show you how this business works and why most will quit:

 

 

The red line represents the number of posts I publish on my site here at WorkAnywhereNow.com, and the blue line is my income.

I only started making a 3 digit income in my 12th month and finally at 19 months, I got to 4 digits and have continued to earn 4 digits in the remaining of 2018.

As you can see the red line, I had to put in a lot of work during the first year and even more work because I needed to ramp it up harder since I wasn’t seeing the results I wanted.

But then, just after a year, you can’t see it in the above graph but it correlates with the number of visitors on my site, my income started growing and at 1.5 years my income soared to 4 digits and surpasses my work effort near the end of my 2 years.

This is the result of learning from the training at Wealthy Affiliate and applying it day in, day out.  I had to work a lot to achieve my success because the niche I’m in is very competitive.

Just today, I saw on there that another member (Zarina) is potentially making 4 digits in 13 months time this month, the month is not over yet but she just earned $500+ in 2 days, so her site is really catching that snowball effect that my site also caught on last November.

 

 

Just in Sep/18, she blogged that she made $500+ just last month and already in Oct, she’s making about the same amount in only 2 days.

Don’t think this happens overnight like most people would think, this took months of hard work to get to this point.  She started that site in Oct/17, so a year ago as of this post, and she’s already looking at a big month for Oct/18.

Whether I took 19 months or her taking 13 months, the fact of the matter is, the training at Wealthy Affiliate works if you apply it consistently and our websites are in totally different niches.

That’s the power of the training inside Wealthy Affiliate that you could learn from.  You can learn how to build a real online business that makes money.

You can basically build your online business in any niche you want with their training since their core principles of what they teach applies to any niche.

 

 

WEALTHY AFFILIATE COMPLAINTS

---

I come across people who’s tried Wealthy Affiliate before, didn’t give it a proper try and then they continue to keep searching and searching for other solutions which leads them nowhere since they are still searching for that magic system or solution to make them tons of money in a short about of time.

They land on my site because they are searching for these different programs and systems to make money online with but aren’t sure if they are scams.

I have reviewed hundreds of these products and systems that claim they can make help you make money online but more often than not, they are very low quality products or just outright scams that don’t offer you any techniques or real know how to build your online business with.

Or they tell you to do it without a website which is just not going to work out in the long run.

So these people after reading my reviews and know that the product they are searching is not good and then they see my guide just to find out I’m promoting Wealthy Affiliate.

They tell me that Wealthy Affiliate didn’t work and that they tried it before.

But guess what else doesn’t work?  The continuous search for the magic one click button system that doesn’t exist.

So from the time they had tried Wealthy Affiliate to present, they are nowhere closer to making any money online at all since they are still hopping from one product to another, searching for more products to try.

In that time, who knows where their online business could have been by now if they had only stuck with Wealthy Affiliate or gave it a real try with great effort.

On top of that, God knows how much more money these people have thrown at more programs and systems that seem to promise them the world but leaves them with worse dissatisfaction than anything else they have found.

If you’re looking for a short term solution or a shortcut to make money online, I’m sorry but there’s no such thing.

 

COMPLAINTS PEOPLE HAVE

Look, of course there are flaws with every program or system out there, nothing will be that perfect and you won’t make everyone happy.

I understand that there will always be something you can complain about if you want to with anything in life but I want to give you some perspective from some of the complaints I’ve seen online.

 

Training Doesn’t Work

I think one of the biggest complaints out there is that the training doesn’t work, that Wealthy Affiliate is some kind of a scam, and how their marketing is just too smart for people.

Well, of course it doesn’t work if you don’t give it a chance, it may not be their fault as they probably don’t know what it really takes to make it in affiliate marketing.

I don’t think any true Wealthy Affiliate member will tell you that affiliate marketing is easy or that making money online is easy.

I think the perception is definitely out there that affiliate marketing is easy because the very low quality products and scams out there make you think this way.

With their big headlines of earning hundreds of dollars a day within your first week or month is ludicrous.  Any product that promises easy fast money, you should stay far away from.

Making money online takes much more work effort than most people realize and so they put in a little bit of work and then think it doesn’t work so they quit.

They don’t realize that Google and search engines don’t even give any new site rankings til they are 3 – 4 months old.

They don’t realize that it really does take time for your site to grow, for you to build content, and for you to be well versed in the many things you need to do for your online business.

There is so much to learn in this online business and Wealthy Affiliate created a training platform that allows you to simply follow along to learn it all step-by-step, and tasks at the end of each lesson to help you apply what you learned to your online business.

That alone is way better than anything I’ve ever reviewed and I’m not kidding when I say I’ve reviewed hundreds of systems, see here.

People don’t realize that they are going to earn next to nothing in their first 3 – 4 months because that’s how long it takes just to get Google to notice you.

Google is in the business of providing the best matched websites to the person searching for things so before they show your websites on their first page results, they want to see if the content you’re providing is any good so this takes time for Google to learn your site.

If you don’t diligently work on your website in the early months when not making money but is simmering and getting ready for that search engine traffic you’re looking for, then you’re not going to see it work at 4 – 6 months.

If you don’t continue working on your online business in those first 6 months, then you won’t see much income growing from 6 – 12 months.

You see the pattern?  The work you do today does not result in instant results, you will see results sometime down the road.

That’s why this business creates passive income, you won’t be earning when you’re actually working (well this could happen too), but majority of the money can come in literally any time from day or night, even if you’re eating, working, sleeping or playing.

Understanding how this type of online business works is really half the battle, if you can have faith that the training works which has been proven to work many times over with all the success stories on the platform, then all you have to do is follow the training and apply it as much as you can on your online business to make it a success.

 

Free Trial Not Long Enough

I feel like telling these people to just keep searching for their magic one click button then.

For crying out loud, you can literally have, not one, but two free websites up in minutes with Wealthy Affiliate’s Starter membership that is free.

FREE FOR LIFE, that is.

How is that not long enough?

You also get 10 free lessons and free keyword search tool with limited use (well yes because it’s FREE).

Why people expect Wealthy Affiliate’s training to be completely free really boggles my mind.

Like I have said, you’re learning the real essence of what makes a website succeed or not – you don’t think that’s WORTH any money?

I’ve been earning a 4 figure income since Mar/18, their Premium membership is not worth all the money I’ve made with their training?

I make a 4 digit income and my expenses has been only $200 a month, so most of this is profit for me.

These people complaining about a free membership should really look inside themselves and see what they offer to the world and what they are willing to offer for free.

 

Other Complaints

Seriously, the other complaints I’ve read online are really eye rolling to me because I know the power of their training and what YOU can really learn on there.

All the other things people complain about are really because they never found success themselves so they blame everything else they can.

I think the second biggest complaint is about the product reviews people write on their websites and this is from the product reviews done in the make money online industry.

First of all, what people do on their websites has nothing to do with Wealthy Affiliate.  Their training works, many have proven that including myself.

What someone does after they have gone through the training is really out of the hands of Wealthy Affiliate.

Nowhere in their training do they tell people to write “fake” reviews or reviews that are not honest.  Reviews are to be done with thorough research and with facts.

There is nothing wrong with comparing products as thousands and thousands of websites do this throughout many industries and niches.

We are taught to write reviews and include our findings in our search because this is what works best to capture your customer.

When people are searching for product reviews, they are in the buying stage of their purchasing cycle so it only makes sense to write about product reviews to tell people why this one product or system isn’t superior to Wealthy Affiliate.

If you really know Wealthy Affiliate and understand the underlying principles they are teaching you, there is absolutely no product out there that has proven to be close to what Wealthy Affiliate offers.

I know because I’ve reviewed hundreds of other products.

Just like not every car salesman has bought every car he’s ever sold nor have real estate agents lived in every house they have ever sold, this is no different.

If I review a product I haven’t bought, then the review is based on what other actual users have said or they base it on their sales video, or affiliate page to get the info, or other means to get inside the product.

I haven’t needed to buy every product I review because I’m able to find that info online.

I’m saving people time from this kind of thorough and long research so I can give them a nice summarized report of my findings.

I think people have to realize that is no one’s fault but the website owner themselves if they have written a bad review or a review not up to your standards.

You cannot blame Wealthy Affiliate for this.

 

 

THIS ONLINE BUSINESS IS NOT FOR EVERYONE

---

You have to understand the type of people going to Wealthy Affiliate.

Most people get onto that platform from checking out reviews of other products, so these are people that may or may not know about affiliate marketing or even what a blog is or anything about websites.

These people just want to make money online and they may think they can do it very easily with not much work or not much time.

Once they do find out what it is, I don’t blame them if they want to run the other way because it will require a lot of hard work on your part if you want this kind of laptop lifestyle.

No one has said building an online business is easy but the training there is easy to follow because the training is built with lessons in text, as well as lessons in video, and you have tasks to follow.

As much as I want to think this training is for everyone, it’s really not because not everyone wants to blog.

Not everyone thinks they can write and I didn’t think I can either, I still don’t think I can write and I have this online business.

All the writing you need is just what I’m doing, typing out words that are in my head.  I’m trying to talk to you and telling it like it is.

Also, not everyone has the time to fit this online business in their schedule.  It’s a big commitment if you want to build an online business and such a commitment requires that you work on your online business on a consistent weekly basis.

This is not a hobby you pick up, this is a serious business that could earn you serious money and thus should be treated as such.

All I know is that anyone that wants to learn how to build this affiliate marketing business could do so with Wealthy Affiliate’s training.

You will need to be able to work hard for the long term, be consistent with your work, ask questions when you don’t understand, and keep going even when you think it’s not working.

The important thing is that you learn how to write, how to use keywords, then knowing how to monetize your blog t make money, which you can learn all of it in one place at Wealthy Affiliate.
