Make Money OnlineThe internet if full of ways to make money online. There are loads of programs and systems that promise quick cash, and in unrealistically large sums. There are also loads of training platforms out there that profess to teach you how to make money from the internet (for a price, of course). Some of these are bogus scams peddling outdated information, while others are legitimate training courses that teach you the right way to go about setting up an online business.

I’ve been a member of one of these legit training platforms for quite some time now – Wealthy Affiliate – and throughout the course of my time I realise some people come to WA with some misconceptions and misplaced expectations of what Wealthy Affiliate is all about.

So, how does Wealthy Affiliate really work?

I’m going to clear that up in this post, outlining what Wealthy Affiliate actually does and does not do for its members.

 

Wealthy Affiliate Is Not A Money Making System

WA is not something you join, pay a fee, recruit new members in a down line and haul in bucket loads of cash. It’s not a pyramid scheme or an MLM system. You don’t make money overnight, nor does anyone associated with Wealthy Affiliate promise that you will.

I’ve seen some newbies there making comments within the community that they feel confused and ripped off because they can’t see how WA makes them money. They can’t find what they have to do on there to start the cash rolling in. These are FREE members, by the way. You can join for free and have a good look around. There is never any obligation to upgrade to a Premium Membership. These new members are expecting to put a small amount of cash into a system and see that money expand by the day with virtually no effort on their part. Why people join with this misconception, I don’t know, as most reviews of Wealthy Affiliate clearly state that it’s primarily a training platform and not a money making system.

 

What Does Wealthy Affiliate Do?

Pushed to SuccessWA teaches you the right way to set up an online business. All the knowledge and tools you need are available to get a business started from scratch and eventually earning you an income online. Anyone who is committed to following the training can do this; just like I have and many others before me and since have done. There is no silver bullet or magic system that has never before been revealed. It is common sense training and education in what to do, what works and what doesn’t. It’s not rocket science. In fact, it’s quite simple.

The ages of active members ranges from teenagers to the elderly. There is no age limit on who can make money online, and you don’t have to be in your physical prime to do it. You can still be working a regular fulltime job and still have the time and know how to create an internet business that generates a consistent monthly income. In fact, people who know very little about computers and designing websites have managed to learn these new skills by being a part of the Wealthy Affiliate family.

Even as a free Starter Member you can partake of some of the training, set up 2 websites for free and have them hosted on WA for free as well. And there is no time limit on this! You can stay a free member forever if you like and still keep your 2 free websites.

You can’t get any fairer than that!

 

The Advantages Of Going Premium

Of course you get more for being a paid member, or there would be no need for a paid upgrade. I won’t go into full-on detail here of the advantages of being a Premium Member. I’ll simply list some bullet points so you can readily see what’s on offer

  • Access to all levels of the training (and there is loads of it)
  • Loads of training videos with step-by-step instructions
  • Learn all about affiliate marketing
  • Learn how to set up a profitable niche website
  • Access to member-contributed training
  • Unlimited access to the very active and helpful community
  • Hosting for up to 50 websites
  • Thousands of Word Press themes to choose from
  • Keyword research tools
  • Mentoring
  • 24/7 technical support
  • 24/7 help from the community (many are experts) to help you problem solve and motivate you towards success
  • The possibility of a free trip to Vegas
  • Live chat with members and the owners
  • Free website builder

 

Make Money With Wealthy Affiliate

WA not only teaches you how to make money online by setting up niche websites and teaching you all about successful affiliate marketing. Wealthy Affiliate also has their own very lucrative affiliate program, that rewards its members for referring new members to WA. You don’t have to be a paid member to partake of the affiliate program, either. Free members can also refer new members and get a commission. However, the commission payouts are twice as high for Premium Members, so another good incentive to upgrade. See the image below for a breakdown on this.

  1. Well done, this is a great approach on explaining what Wealthy Affiliate is made for and more importantly not made for.

    I really wonder how people could step into this training community with the expectation of having joined a push button cash system – there is simply zero of that kind of get rich quick communication within the WA promotion.

    Maybe these people are so very used to reveal one pyramid scheme afther another that they think there are no other business models around for membership site.

    Fortunately, WA is a great example for an online training platform where you are not forced to sell on your community members.

    • I’ve seen a few newbies writing posts on WA seemingly looking for the instant money system and they can’t find it there. I really don’t know how they arrive at the site with that kind of misconception. Thanks for reading and commenting Vera. Wealthy Affiliate is a great place to be.
