Many years ago I joined a program called Wealthy Affiliate to learn how to make money online and in addition to actually teaching me that, it also became my #1 recommended program for anyone with the same goal. This review will detail how that all works and I will also show my income reports, plus those of many other members too.

- Price: $0 starter program (Click here to join for free). Premium program $49 a month. Also Premium Plus program $99 a month.
- Ideal for: Complete beginners-advanced.
- Does it work? Yes, I will provide you with MY personal income stats (and show you other success stories below).

Why Wealthy Affiliate is my #1 recommendation for making money online:
Call me bias if you want, but after reviewing/trying over 200 different programs over many years that all promise riches online and nearly all of them being scams/garbage, the only program that still continues to deliver REAL results for me is Wealthy Affiliate.
It is my #1 recommendation for helping you TRULY make honest money online, especially if you are a beginner. In fact, here’s a full/updated review I made for 2024 regarding this program and why I love it (in case you don’t want to read the entire article):
Note: If you still want to learn more about the WA program, you’re more than welcome to read the remainder of this review, but there are areas of it that are a bit outdated (the video above is the most updated review of the program). If you have questions you’re more than welcome to reach out to me below!
5 reasons I recommend WA to ANYONE who wants to succeed at making money online:
Reason #1: It’s free to join.
No CC, no personal info, no risk. See for yourself.
Reason #2: The support is amazing.
You get 24-7 help if you need it, including from it’s creators who are millionaire marketers. Through the many programs I’ve tried, lack of support has been a huge deal breaker. Most places rarely answer your questions or give you the right guidance. With WA, the support is second to none.
Having someone to help you is absolutely vital to success online. You can and will have questions and when that happens, you will need someone who will be qualified to answer them. And this is where the amazing support comes into play:
- In WA, you can ask/post any questions which will get answered almost immediately.
- There is also an online chat available 24-7 where there are always members around who are actively helping other members (including myself).
- And in addition to this, you also get my personal help (one of the bonuses of joining), for free.
Join WA for free here and get access to the amazing help & support to succeed online.
Reason #3: It’s really a 1 stop destination for becoming successful online.
Too often I see people searching for the “next best thing” in making money online whether it be expensive training or just hopelessly bouncing from product to product looking at it like a lottery ticket. This is WRONG and only leads to failure.
The secret to making money online is this: Proper guidance. This is exactly what you get in WA and there’s no reason to find something elsewhere, because what you learn within WA is up to date and legitimate. Most importantly, it works.
Reason #4: Legitimacy.
It teaches you honest ways to make money online via helping people while doing what you love. It really comes down to these 4 steps.
Reason #5: I have personally been with WA for over 12 years so I personally vouch for them.
You can consider me one of their many success stories (see real reviews from other members below). It is through their training and guidance that I was able to experience my first success online and now, it is a full time thing for me (income proof is coming up shortly).
Prior to finding them, I went through a very bad cycle of scams/failures online which lasted nearly 3 years. Today I do online marketing full time and earn money from home. I attribute the success to the training I got here. If I can do it, you can too. And with that said…
What is Wealthy Affiliate?
In short, Wealthy Affiliate is a training program that teaches you to build an online business. This could be based on a personal interest/hobby/passion/expertise you have or if it’s none of these, they show you exactly what you need to do in order to make consistent money online.
Now creating an online business isn’t scary at all. In fact, it’s fun and you can do it on your own time. The end result through the training at WA is that by building your online business, you can earn enough money to either:
- Quit your job.
- Supplement your current income.
- Have more free time to yourself.
- Spend more time with your family.
And basically get to do the things you want in your life and not be held down by anyone. In short: Financial freedom. As I said earlier, I do this full time. I’ve experienced 6 figure results implementing what they teach. Though how much you can earn varies, one thing I can promise you is that if you implement what they teach, you will get results.
Am I earning real money through Wealthy Affiliate’s training? I totally am! Here are my income reports:
I work as a middleman (affiliate) for multiple companies and am actively making an income from 2. Altogether, I make over $4,000 a month:
2015 income report:
Update 5/29/16: A 2015-2016 year update. The income has increased.
The original income picture you saw was recorded up until August of 2015. The current one was taken from that period up until May of 2016. As you can see, the income I get from those same affiliate programs has increased:
- The first one is averaging over $5,000 a month when it was originally $4,000.
- The other is actually making twice as much as before. From $200+ to over $400.
And I also have a 2017 report for you guys (I update this page every year):
I wanted to show you these pictures to point out that with an online business that you learn to create from WA, you will be learning how to create a truly stable income that if you keep working on, will increase.
And the updated 2018 & a little bit of 2019 report:

And here are a number of additional reviews I’ve also added as an update:
How Wealthy Affiliate works:
There is a lot of training within WA that teaches you various ways to make money online. All the way from A-Z. But if you’re completely new, the best way to start is through their Getting Started section. This takes you through the meat & potatoes of building an online business from scratch (preview coming up!).
Even if you have NO idea about what you want to build an online business out of, the training will show an optional path you can take in which you learn to make money in a specific market.
Long story short: Begin with the “Training” section. Click it and it will take you to the “Getting Started” training. This will guide you through everything and answer all of your questions. Here is how the training section looks:
And once you click the “View Course” button, here’s a preview of the first 10 lessons (Level 1):
How the training helps you make money online:
The training is broken down into 4 different parts. Each part has step-by-step lessons which you’ll follow. They are all focused on building a profitable online business. Here’s how it works:
1) Choose an interest (niche):
This is the starting point. While it can be anything you want, it is recommended to pick a topic that you personally have interest in (and I will help you with this personally, just join here, go through the tour and I’ll contact you).
When I began doing online marketing with WA, I chose the diet & fitness topic because I have personal experience & interest with.
2) Make a website:
With WA, you don’t need any experience in making websites. They actually give you 2 free websites which are yours to do with as you please. The sites are pre-built and coded so you don’t need to worry about anything. You just select a name for the website & how you want it to look. The process takes less than 30 seconds (I’ve timed it).
Note: The key is to use the training from WA and apply it to the free websites you’re given.
3) Get visitors:
In order to make money online, your website needs to get traffic (visitors). The more you get, the more money you can make. Through WA’s training, you’ll learn how to get visitors to your website interested in the subject you chose.
4) Make money:
You’ll promote products on your site and when visitors come and buy, you earn money.
Example:
- For step 1, I chose teaching dogs tricks as a subject.
- For step 2, I’d make a website focused on that subject.
- For step 3, I’d get visitors to my site interested in this topic.
- For step 4 (the money part), I could promote products from other places like Amazon (books, training DVDs, dog training accessories, etc…) and earn money every time a visitor purchased these things from my site.
There are literally millions of different subjects to choose from to earn money with. Each subject has a large amount of people interested in it who look for information on it on a daily basis.
By having a website with that information on it, you can leverage this and earn money in the process. This is exactly what WA will teach you to do, even if you have no prior experience with this stuff. The amount you can make is really limitless.
My personal results applying the 4 steps on one of my websites:
I’m still growing the same site and it’s traffic. Furthermore, I’ve made other sites using the exact same steps and they are also getting 1,000’s in traffic every single day (and sales). This formula can be replicated in ANY niche topic.
Very important: This is a process and not a get rich quick scheme. But the lessons are very simple to follow. Each lesson is in video/text format and has a “to do” list at the end. As a starter member (which is free), you get access to the first 10 lessons of this training. By the time you finish it, you will have:
- Chosen your topic.
- Created your website.
- Established the foundations necessary to start getting visitors & earn money.
This place is all about TAKING action as you go through each lesson. You’re not going to be reading/watching tutorials and nodding your head. You’re actually going to be putting what is being taught into action.
The training itself will take you across the A-Z of online marketing. By the time you finish it, you will be an advanced internet marketer and in many cases already running a sustainable online business that’s earning you money. It can be supplementary or even primary like in my case.
Niche topics I’ve personally made money with thanks to Wealthy Affiliate:
- Making money online.
- Weight loss.
- Dieting.
- Selling fitness equipment.
- Selling women’s fitness DVDs.
How long does it take to see results?
If you put what is taught into action, you can start seeing results within a few weeks. I’ve tried WA’s approach to online business on various sites. With ones with less competition, a few weeks is usually when you start seeing results. They aren’t big (at first), but it’s a starting point that only grows. With more competitive niches, typically 3-6 months.
Are there faster ways to see results? Yes & no. Most programs which promise fast results use shady methods of marketing which only work in the short run and then your site gets penalized by Google & other search engines. What is taught at WA is completely straight forward and focused on long term results. The BEST thing you can do to see the fastest possible results is work at it everyday.
Do what is taught in the training and apply it on a daily basis. This will bring about results the fastest way possible, but focus less on making money and more so building a business. There’s a BIG difference.
So if you’re here to make make a quick buck, I’m sorry to disappoint you, but that’s not happening. Not with WA & not with any other program out there. And any place which promises you this is a scam. Take it from someone whose stepped on that rake MANY times. There are people making 4, 5, 6 and even 7 figure incomes doing this stuff and they’ve reached this point because they followed through the training.
- WA also features a Premium Membership that’s available for $49 a month.
- Additionally, there is also a Premium Plus membership that’s available for $99 a month.
Free membership (Starter) vs Premium vs Premium Plus:
Starter: Starter members (free) get access to communicate with the community, including Kyle and Carson (both for 7 days), get 1 free website and also access to the Level 1 training.
Premium: I very often get asked about the premium membership and want to explain it here. It’s optional, costs $49/month, but it provides access to everything within WA including:
- 24-7, 365 support. To myself, every member and the founders. You get this as a starter for the first 7 days.
- You can make up to 25 free websites.
- Free hosting for up to 25 of your own websites.
- Weekly webinars covering all aspects of making money online to further help you. There’s over 300.
- 1 on 1 coaching & support from WA’s creators, Kyle & Carson.
- Access to 100’s of training tutorials.
Premium Plus: This is an entirely new layer of Wealthy Affiliate and is without a doubt the membership with the most benefits. Rather than list them all in bullet points, I have a screenshot of everything that you get from ALL 3 of these memberships so you can see it yourself.
Here is a comparison of the benefits of each membership level:
My advice on where to begin:
There’s obviously a lot of benefits with premium and certainly Premium Plus, but my advice is to try the starter membership (which is free) and see if you enjoy what you learn. If you do and want to go further, then I’d recommend the Premium membership.
No one is ever pushed into premium. It’s all a matter of if you feel comfortable. Only try premium if you’re happy with WA. It is optional and you are welcome to stay as a free member as long as you like 🙂

There are NO risks and if you don’t like what you see, you can leave anytime you want, without being obligated. And even then, you’ll still have 1 website to do with as you please. Furthermore:
Just please just do me 1 favor:
If you like it there, I’d really appreciate it if you come back to this page and comment on your experience. People who want to make money online really need to know about this place. In fact, here is a message I got recently from someone who knows about my coaching and their feedback on it:
My final thoughts:
WA is without a doubt my #1 recommendation for many of the reasons I stated above. If you’re looking to make an extra buck online or perhaps go further and do it full time like me, this is by far the best place to show you exactly how to do it. Join it today.
The key to success is utilizing proper guidance (which WA provides & my coaching adds to) and taking action. With these ingredients, I promise that you will see results. If you have ANY questions about WA or if you’re a current member would like to leave your personal review, you can do so below in the comments section.
Hi Ernie, I’ve never said that every program is a scam but WA. There are good programs and I have reviewed and properly rated them as well as recommended them. Unfortunately, there are FAR more bad ones than good which is why most of the time when you read my reviews, most of them will be bad.
I’ve just developed very high standards for internet marketing products after seeing what a great program is with Wealthy Affiliate.
I need to supplement my income due to job loss and taking a big cut in pay. I am not looking to get rich, just help my family. Can this really help me? Also my daughter is interested is there an age requirement?
Hi Jim, yes this can help you, but begin with a regular free membership for now. As for age, anyone can register with WA, but if you’re going to sell anything online via affiliate programs, there are age limits.
How do you get paid for the efforts set forth? Do you need a pay pal account? Or do you get paid by Check or Direct Deposit?
It can be all of these options Dawn. Often times certain affiliate programs which pay you will require you only have one of those things.
My next questions:
1. Do you need any special license or documentation?
2. Are State Taxes taken out of the pay received?
3. Is it pay as you go or someone orders or Weekly pay?
I’m just asking I have been burned in other programs.
I understand Dawn:
1. For joining affiliate programs? Generally no, but some do require that you show them some kind of website and give them stats on it.
2. That you will have to do through an accountant or personally. Different states/countries vary with tax laws but whatever you make will be sent to you as a check which you will then have to report on your own.
3. I don’t understand the first part of your question, but if you’re part of a membership site, then you pay monthly, but if you’re part of an affiliate program, you will generally not have to pay any fees. Weekly pay also depends on the affiliate program. Some pay weekly, some bi-weekly and others every month.
Hey Vitaliy,
I have read your review and read most of the comments as well and I must say that I am very impressed with WA so far. However, I do have a couple of questions:
1) Will this indeed work with any niche? For example I have two major niches that I am passionate about…. #1 is the making money from home niche (the problem with this one is that I haven’t made any money with it yet so ethically I feel as though I cannot promote this until I start making money myself). And #2 is the Spirituality/New Age niche (which I have always heard should be free since that niche should not be exploited ie real spiritual knowledge should be free).
2) I have always heard that the money is in the list: The problem is that building a list can take months even years to build, I don’t have that long. So my question is: Can I buy traffic (Not Leads but genuine traffic to my site) and if so how much time do you think that it would take me to start making a decent amount of money?
The reason why I ask this for is because you said that if I follow the WA program that I could start seeing results in 4-6 months. The problem is that I am currently unemployed, and I am having a hard time finding work and if I don’t start making some money soon, like within 3 weeks I am facing homelessness and starvation. This is unacceptable to me, but I honestly don’t know what else to do. I can buy traffic real cheap on Fiverr. But I have tried that before with other products that I was trying to promote and I haven’t made anything, so I am not sure if this is going to work either. (Traffic don’t pay the bills or put food on the table.)
Thanks for your time,
~David
Hi David:
1) Yes, any niche site can make money including the topics you mentioned.
2) It’s not always necessary to have a list David, but for buying traffic, only PPC works for me.
Now as for the situation you mentioned, until it’s better, I do not recommend you put any money into ads or internet marketing. But you can join WA’s starter option.
I’ve spent about an hour or so going through some of the comments and your replies on this page, and the info is valuable. I have some concerns about building a business with the proper foundations and longevity of it all. I know that results are dependent upon efforts and consistency in making it work, so on this side of it all, I do not know how much time would be required to create the kind of money I need to earn and I am in a bad place financially right now, so immediate earnings are very important.
Just thinking out loud. I love motivation and maintaining the proper mindsets throughout life’s situations and would like to move in that direction and I do have some other ideas too. So, is this a continuous upsale promotion as an affiliate, because I know the importance of auto responders and other marketing programs to make the level of income more feasible.
Having said that, what amount of money should I plan on putting into these kinds of programs, and do you offer those as an affiliate marketer and could I also do the same? Before I move on this, I have to make the commitment to invest my time, which is all that I have at this time, but as time produces income, I would like to know an average of how much money needs to be invested in order to create the complete business system to earn 6 figures and upward. You have provided great responses to all the ones I have read, and if you need to email me on this, please do. You also have permission to edit this, just in case I have been too lengthy, LOL! Thanks!
Hi Lester, I’d like to first address the points you made before you asked the questions and that was about building a good business, but you also said you wanted to do it quickly. In most cases, you cannot start and build a quality business that pays for years and have it all done in days for example.
That level has to be achieved through putting in the work especially when you first start. When your business begins to make money on it’s own which typically takes months, then you can make or add new changes and see more immediate results take place.
For example, when you first build a website, it won’t have traffic until you build out enough content and that’s wheat you’ll be focused on mostly and every step is explained in Wealthy Affiliate with support to help you if you get stuck.
But when the website does reach a point where say you’re getting 200 visitors a day, you can make changes to the website that affect those daily visitors and see almost immediate results. You can change what you promote. You can change banners. You can start list building, ect…, but these tests and their results will come when the website reaches that level. You cannot reach that level right away on a new site unless you pay for traffic.
Now onto the autoresponder question, it won’t be an “essential” component of your business all the time. For example in some promotions, if you funnel visitors to a website and their sign up to the autoresponder there, they will be taken through a sales process without you having to do it and if they buy it, you will be given the commission regardless of when the sale happens. In some promotional funnels, having an autoresponder can be a bit redundant.
You will have to decide on that based on your niche, but the good news is that you DON’T need to worry about it because with Wealthy Affiliate’s training, your online business is built with a sort of “insurance policy” in that you are learning to get a lot of free traffic to your website. Where you decide to funnel that traffic to be it a list, a free ebook you write or straight to a promotion will come later. The focus for anyone who wishes to make a successful online business isn’t the promotion, it’s the actual building of the business which is where the main focus of WA is (promotions too).
And finally for the amount of money to be put in, it depends so I’ll give you the cheapest to the most realistic:
Option 1: Free signup with Wealthy Affiliate and use their free sites. The cost is $0.
Option 2: Sign up for free, and if you’re very serious, go into the premium membership and buy your own website. Cost: $47/month + $13.99/year for the domain and use the keyword tool in WA for free.
Option 3: Exact same option as 2, but there is an outside keyword tool developed by WA which is also free, but eventually costs $19/month.
I’d go with option 2, but don’t decide on that until you start for free and see what time of commitments may be required and if that’s something you’d be very interested in.
Hi Vitaliy, I have a few questions. If I go to a premium membership then I get out how come I have to move my hosting what if I have nowhere to move it to what will happen if I just leave it there. Next question. Can I just promote somebody’s product to make a commission and not have any thing to do with shipping or having any products?
Hi Mike, hosting takes space and servers which is why premium members get the ability to use them for free. If you leave WA, that space has to go to the next member. Starter members also get space but for 2 websites and if they leave, in those cases, they keep the hosting for just those 2 sites. You do have 30 days to move any personal websites you host with WA.
As for earning without owning the product or worrying about shipping, you can totally do that through affiliate marketing 🙂
I want to do pastoral counseling online for a donation fee that would support a non-profit religious missions ministry I’ve incorporated. I also would like to solicit funds from businesses and individuals who are needing a tax write off for donating to a non-profit. Is this something that would work through WA? Or do you have a better suggestions for me to channel this passion?
WA would work with both of these ideas. We do have members who work in niches dealing with religious topics and they too accept donations.
Hi Vitaliy, I have just read your story here. Impressive indeed, you are surely one of Wealthy Affiliate success stories. I know that there are more like you, but my impression is not too many. Of course all what you write here is true and indeed support as you rightly write is amazing.
Your graph with the traffic is impressive. I wonder what the magic limit is when it really becomes a sustainable business.
I myself am struggling with the traffic, it is growing steadily but enormously slowly. Frankly, sometimes I think it will never be good enough. Thank you in any case, you are one of sources of inspiration for many at WA.
Hi Jovo, thank you, I do want to say there is no real limit to how many visitors you need to make the website a sustainable business. The more you get the better, but that magic limit you’re talking about varies. In my case, I would say when I received 200 visits or more a day, it started feeling that way. For other websites, if it’s targeted enough, even having a few visitors with the proper promotion that pays well can equate to a fully sustaining business.
Hi Vitaliy, I sat ana read all your post on this page for about 4 hours, my concern is, that I don’t know much about internet or affiliate marketing, and have just decided to venture into this market. I only know basic computer functions, I am trying to learn a bit more, since I’ve found that I am interested in making money using this platform.
Hi Tammy, most people who join WA also have similar experiences and in many cases, way less, however the training in WA is as I said, geared to help you understand everything 🙂
Vitaliy,
I have been reading the questions and comments above for about a week and appreciate the questions as well as the clarity of the answers..very succinct and informative. I wouldn’t have known to ask most of these questions so thanks to everyone!
An additional question I do have which was raised in reference to the 30 day period in which to move hosting to a new provider, is there a fee to WA to do that and what happens to a site if someone fails to move the hosting in that time period? (I guess that was 2 questions).
Hi, there is NO fee to move your hosting from WA because it is free there. However, other hosting providers outside WA have their own prices. I do believe WA still holds onto the FTP files for a few more months if you don’t move it anywhere in 30 days so it offers you more time to act, but really, with all the things you get in WA, I find a lot of people join it just to get the hosting. They keep it free for premium members.
Vitaliy
Well, I just can’t think of any reason not try this opportunity. It certainly seems to offer a low risk way to create and launch a home business with tremendous support along the way.
I’m ready to take that first step, and am open to the experiences and knowledge I gain along the way…
Thank you for being so generous in all your responses!
No problem!
Thank you Vitaliy for revealing this awesome affiliate network.
Not a problem Ashish! In the online marketing world, where there’s so many bad programs, WA is simply a gem.
Hi, I hope this is still something you are helping with. I need some sort of income to help supplement my household but I only have a few months to try and get it put together. I am willing to put a lot of work and time into this since I’m unable to physically work. I like the sound of this but I’m cautious on if it’s a realistic way to make some money. If possible I’d really appreciate an email. Thank you
Hi Lindsey, a few months is usually the time it takes for most websites with active work to become seen and start monetizing. There are a lot of people I know of who are also in similar situations for whom work online like this fits just right. I will email you as well 🙂
Will this work for a MLM business?
Yes, even though I don’t really like anything that’s MLM, it can be used to promote it. However, I do ask that you really investigate MLM programs before promoting them to other people.
But do we need a good investment to sell our desired products online?
No, not if you’re doing affiliate marketing, then it’s free for most of the products you can promote.
Free for “most” of the products? I’m in the same boat as Lindsey. I have to make money, there is no other option. I understand you can not gaurantee anything. So just hypothetically if you join the program follow their instructions truly invest yourself, what type of monthly income could possibly be made?
Hi Heather, while I get this question a lot, the answer is always different because it depends on the person, how often and how hard they work, but I know you need some specific numbers or a range. I would say it’s COMMON to see several $100’s and even $1,000’s every month for most people who really work hard on their business.
As you may have seen from my screenshots above, this is what you could be making on one or more niche websites. However, I also have case studies where I have made 6 figures doing the exact same things.
But that was in my case. Most people do not succeed at this business because they simply do not want to work for it. Those who do will make 3-6 and possibly even bigger digit incomes. The point is that in this business, it’s all possible. Wealthy Affiliate has the keys to unlock this.
Hello Vitaly,
Forgive my skepticism, but are you being paid for promoting Wealthy Affiliate? How soon does one start making money. I like many others have been burned regarding online businesses. I don’t like deceit or twisted information. So, I am trying to understand everything.
Debra
I do promote WA Debra, but I do it because I have built an entire business upon what I learned from them and I know it can do the same for anyone. But I do also help any member who asks me. For time frames, as I said, up to several months.
I am a designer so much interested in painting and photography, for a long time I have been looking for making money online but in vain. I came across this guy Walter Green but as I was being very continuous on the reviews I found out about you and about WA, it seems legit.
1. When you register and do all the necessary does it mean you can earn cash without going to premium?
2. I am Kenyan based in Tanzania, can I join WA and make money through paintings?
3. If I have a few paintings in stock for myself how I am I gonna get more to my stock and how?
Hi Patrick:
1. Yes.
2. Yes for your location and yes for the painting question.
3. I’m not sure how you get paintings in stock, but if you have a painting niche site and it gets visitors and money, you can use that to buy more painting to sell, as well as your own.
Have been looking for ways to make money on the internet. I am very glad to have found your review and after reading the reviews on this page am so glad to have found this. I am new to this BUT very eager to learn and succeed.
No worries Vickie, I was also new when I joined, as are 99% of all members who come there too. You’re going to be fine and the training is designed for that beginner level, and at the same time, the results are that of an expert!
Hi Vitaliy,
Great review. I have already joined the starter membership but have not acted on it yet. Your review is inspiring me to finally get going. I am really short on cash so my questions below center around trying to do this with minimum investment at first. If my questions are too long you can email me your responses. Thanks in advance!
1. What exactly does the Affiliate Bootcamp entail and how does it compare to having your own niche website?
2. What do you think of the idea of doing a niche review website where all i do is review affiliate products with minimum general articles. Can this make good money? I’m not sure I have enough passion (or any) for any particular niche.
3. In general, what type of sites are most lucrative in the long run?
4. How long can one make it just on starter before going premium? Can i build up business to point where am making enough to invest in premium monthly fee? Do you actually know of anyone who has made good money just with the starter membership?
5. Once I can afford to go Premium, is that all I will need going forward to succeed? Example 1: Is their free website/hosting enough (no limit to scaling up, all required plug ins etc) compared to having own domain?
Example 2: Are there some services I’ll need to purchase outside of Wealthy Affiliate like auto responder services?
6. I have heard that for SEO, content is very important: will I get faster results outsourcing article writing so that i can get to afford premium sooner? (obviously if i get quality article writer for less than $45 a month). My concern is (as indicated earlier) that I just don’t have enough passion for any particular niche to be able to be inspired or have enough knowledge to write lots of content. I’m just a hard worker in general who is keen on achieving financial freedom for my family.
Thanks!
Hi Rita, let me answer all of those questions right here in case others are also interested in similar things:
1. Affiliate bootcamp is all about promoting programs in the make money online niche. As a Wealthy Affiliate member, you can promote the program itself or use the training to promote others like it. Vs other niche topics that you can pick out and follow the Certification Courses with, this one is already chosen for you.
2. I think this is a good idea, but I believe any site which reviews a lot of products needs to have the author whose writing about it have a position people can trust. I often run into people who always promote anything they can and this is wrong. It shows the audience that you don’t care about what’s good for them. That’s why if you decide to do this, be careful and make sure to review even bad products. When people see that you don’t just promote everything and have a reason for recommending things, it creates more trust.
3. Honestly, anything that is a niche. Obviously anything related to money, being healthy and I would say dating or love are massive markets, though competitive. You should enter niches within these topics ONLY if you understand them. I would NEVER tell anyone who has no experience in the make money online niche to start a site on it only because it has “potential”.
4. The answer varies. You are given a lot of benefits for 7 days, but even after, you can still re-take the lessons and visit the site. You can certainly wait on the starter and see where it goes and I have seen people make it with just that. How long also varies a lot on the person and their niche choice.
5. I would say yes it is enough, in terms of education, help and resources that you get. Being able to communicate with a knowledgeable community is so rare these days and luckily WA has that. For the hosting, yeah if you plan on buying a lot of domain names, utilizing that free hosting would be equal savings.
For the outside purchases outside WA, if you’re talking about resources to succeed, I would say no. The only thing they optionally offer is a keyword tool which is awesome, but they also have one built in on their site you can use as a premium member. For autoresponders, the answer is that it’s optional. You are not required to buy any of these things.
6. If you have money to invest in article writers, then I’d say don’t do it yet and go premium instead. Get ALL the knowledge you possibly can from WA and use it for your website. When it begins to make money, then find someone. For $45/month, I don’t think you’ll find any good writers and it’s risky. Go with premium first, become knowledgeable in the field and when the time comes, you’ll be able to make your own decision on whether or not to hire people to write for you.
And another thing is that MANY people feel they don’t know what to write about. But when you do the training, I am sure you’ll have plenty of ideas and flowing!
You mentioned there’s an option for premium program $47/month. Can I sign up for just one month or do I need to commit the whole program?
Yes you can do this Des. Committing to the program depends on what your goals are. There’s people there who do come for a month or even a few, then get what they want and decide to do something else. We also have members who have been there for many years. There’s a lot of benefits and savings (free hosting) of being a premium member. I recommend you begin with the starter though 🙂
I’m a young stay at home mom of two girls. My husband has a great job so I’m looking for a honest, dependable, flexible way to make some extra money from home. I know there are ways to make money online at home, but I just don’t know how to get from here to there. To say I’m nervous and skeptical would be a huge understatement!
Just a few questions…
I really don’t know how to make money online or through a website. It sounds like WA teaches me how to create a website about something I’m interested in (my niche) and then I put links to things people can buy about that niche and then if people buys those things then I get some of the profit? I’m nervous to start something and become a middleman/salesman where the only way I get any money is hoping someone will buy the things I post. Is that what I would be doing? Maybe an email would be better?
I’m also a little confused about the 7 day trial period. So I have 7 days where I can ask people any questions I want and WA teaches me how to create 2 free websites. What happens after those 7 days are up? I need to either decide to become a premium member or what? After I become a premium member I pay $47/month forever or do I ever stop paying that monthly payment?
Thank you for your review and help!
Hi Brittany, I will answer all of those questions, but first I’d like to quickly talk about the nervousness you’re feeling. It’s completely normal, trust me 🙂 anything new we start in life always comes with skepticism, confusion and doubts about where it will lead. Internet marketing and starting a business in this field is no different. I remember how nervous I was when I started getting into this and always wondering if it would ever lead to anything.
Having gone through these experiences, I can tell you that they will pass as you try it more and more and you may find that it becomes very fun and addicting to be involved with this stuff! I think of WA as a parent in this regard because they really did lead me into this comfort level and stability. I feel very comfortable being a part of this place and I’m sure you will too.
Now as for the questions you asked, what you said about the websites, putting up links is right. The part about being nervous as a middleman is also normal to feel. But think of affiliate marketing as a conversation you are having with friends that have similar interests. You often tell them of things you bought, liked, didn’t like and you engage them in a discussion about this. This is basically what you’re also doing on your website.
When you mentioned about emails, I think you meant list building. If that’s the case, then with your site, you are totally free to take it in that direction if you desire. Your site is your business and you are the boss. Some people prefer doing only affiliate marketing, while others prefer to collect lists and email leads. You have a whole bunch of ways you can go and WA will give you the best education and help you decide on that. Also you are always free to test different methods on your site as well. No one says you have to start and stick to any one thing. It can start with one thing, move into a different idea and you can stick to what’s bringing in the best results.
For the 7 day question, the only thing that will be unavailable is the chat, lesson access and website access is still available forever. Premium costs are also charged monthly and you can stop them anytime.
Just a quick question. Do you automatically start earning money when google realizes you are getting a lot of traffic and are posting good quality content? Or do you have to apply for the payment?
Not quite Luke. What Google does do is give your website higher positions which lead to much more traffic. That traffic can be leveraged to make money. The money can be made via different things: Selling programs as an affiliate or as a vendor, running ads on the page (Google also offers a service called Adsense which does this) and things like email building.
I’m from the U.K. and I’m wondering if I have to pay a fee as I’m not in the U.S. I like the idea of WA. I am retired but could do with cash to supplement my pension. I have a couple of ideas running around in my head but being a novice at this I would like to be put on the right track. Can you email me back to discuss them with you please?
Hi Malcolm, I’ve emailed you, but for your main question, there is NO extra fee if you’re not in the U.S. The free and premium membership are all the same.
Can I do link posting with this program?
Yes. Link posting is the same as posting affiliate links Pam. You’ll have to do that on your website if you want it to make money.
Do you think it would be possible to use an iPad for this?
You can definitely navigate the entire website, lessons and participate in chat that way Sabrina, but when you do the actual editing of your website, it’s way easier to do it through a computer.
What if I don’t have any specific interests/hobbies or any experience/training in marketing and business? I am interested in the idea of making money online, but would I be good for WA? I have no skills in this, but can I work for other companies on WA and make money that way? If I did this part time from home, would it even be worth the trouble? Thank you,
Jack
I think you’d be very well suited for WA’s training Jack but you can always see if that’s the case by just trying the lessons within the free membership. Before you reach the end of that training, you’ll know if this is your thing but believe me, very often people do not have a niche they like and in those cases, there’s usually 2 things that happen:
A) They do the training and realize they really do have a niche.
B) If they still don’t have an option, WA gives them plenty of choices to connect with anyway, so in the process of following this, that may become their main business or it can lead into one.
Like many, I have been scammed with make money online sites. I came across yours and it seems legit. But I have a question. I am writing my dissertation for my Naturopathic Doctor degree (holistic health). I see from reading the comments there are links to sell products (vitamins, etc.) but is there any way to also do consultations from these websites and make money doing it before I try this?
Absolutely there is Judy! It’s actually one of the many ways you can monetize your site. There are many who make their site and instead of selling affiliate products, have their own expertise they want to help people with, including holistic health. You can make this happen by offering consultations over the internet with people who visit your page. I actually have a future site I intend to make with this exact idea.
Hi vitality it’s overwhelming trying to keep up with all these questions. So let me ask a few, I’d like to just jump into things but I have no experience with selling at all so tell me can you help me with finding stuff to sell and getting step-by-step instructions with everything? And also if I paid a premium cost and start making a lot of money, can you just cancel it and go on your own?
Hi William for your first question, the answer is a full YES 🙂 As I said in the review, you do get step-by-step directions and you will be shown where to find things to sell on your site and how to sell it properly.
Regarding premium, yes you’re absolutely free to go on your own if your business becomes successful. WA will never bound you to their services. The thing I have found though is that members love this place a lot and they stay even when they become successful.
Plus there’s also very big cost savings involved if you host multiple websites through WA, which is free through premium. Add to that, the fact that you can get professional help on your site from experts 24-7 and the community, I think you’ll really enjoy it there.
Hi Vitaliy
Sorry to bother you, I’m from the UK and just came across your reviews on The Automatic Edge Program. I’ve just signed up to them and paid the joining few, about £70 in UK currency. I’ve only done step 1 and starting on step 2. After reading your review about automatic edge I think I’ve wasted my money.
Regards,
Melvin.
Hi Melvin, believe me, you are not wasting my time. However, I have looked through the reviews I’ve done and it doesn’t look like I’ve reviewed the one you mentioned yet. But either way, it’s good that you landed on this page that reviews Wealthy Affiliate because it is the best.
Do you think I can start using my phone or do you recommend using a computer? I’m so excited to get started! But I do not have a computer.
You can use your phone to view and study the lessons, but for actual work, you will need to use a regular computer.
I am from Peru, thus is there any restriction for me to join WA and all its affiliate program to get commission?
Nope, you’re OK :). See you inside Javier!
Hi! Vitaliy, I read a lot of positive reviews of Wealthy affiliate. I’m very thankful to God because after all those scattered scam schemes, there is still a legit online business. This sounds interesting because I’m so tired of joining those other scammy online business. I’m a current travel agent who has a website under the travel business, and I want to inquire if WA can help me with my online business. Thank you, God bless you!
Hi Marites, yes it can. Head over to the site, read about the training and let me know if you need help. I know of several members who are also into the traveling niche and were or are current travel agents. Just know that you can build your own business outside the travel agency.
Hi Vitaliy
Thank you for sharing. I have been searching on internet marketing for guide/help. As my computer/internet knowledge is very weak. I do not know which website that I can trust.
After reading your blog. I have decided to join WA joined the free membership. Just completed registration. Can I seek your assistance whenever I need help?
Have a question. Who will send us checks? Does payment come from WA or otherwise? Appreciate your reply.
Hi Nance, of course you can get my help. Let me know your question either on my site or through WA, I’ll always help out. As for checks, it depends on which company you register with to make money for. If for example, you register with Clickbank, promote products from that company and make money that way, they would send you out the check.
I have been working on my web site and updating a blog weekly, but just haven’t figured out getting my business to monetize. If I already have my site, hosting, and an autoresponder service can you help me? Thanks – this does sound good!
Hi Eric, yes. There are a lot of people who join WA’s starter membership because they already have a blog or are trying to set up a list that need help with the monetizing part. Check out the lessons in WA first to give you an idea of how a niche business should be set up and then if you have any questions, let us know. I’ll also help 🙂
Hi Vitaliy,
Greetings . Syafiq here,just want to ask you 2 questions.
1) I am interested in joining WA under your guidance so is it true that from what I heard, if I join as starter it will be at $0 cost and if I want to upgrade to premium, it will cost about $47 , but if i decide to go premium within that 7 days, i will get discount, of which I need to pay for only $20 for the 1st month and $47 per month afterwards.Correct?
2) I am from Malaysia, thus is there any restriction for me to join WA and all its affiliate programme to get commission?
Thank you Vitaliy.
Hi Syafiq, that is correct. There is a special going on right now and it’s $19 for month 1 for premium. But again, the starter membership is still free and available to everyone 🙂 Being from Malaysia is fine too.
Hi Vitaliy
Am I understanding this correctly or not. If I join WA and through doing so will I have access to products to sell and the support to drive the business?
With WA, you are given 2 sites and knowledge (support) on how to make it run successfully. For promoting and selling products on it, you will have to reach out to different networks and sign up to promote their products 🙂
Hello Vilaliy, I’m so totally obsessed with your site. Just finished reading almost all the reviews.
I’m not a blogger, but I do enjoy writing — though I currently have no niche (well, maybe up in my brain somewhere there are some ideas). Would WA be able to assist with what topic would draw in more traffic?
Also, for the second website I would like to use it for the following: I (and please do not frown on this) am enrolled with a MLM company (I’m not sure I can name them here) in which I’ve been doing ok. Would I be able to promote their products in my website?
Would you please reexplain what the $19 / $47 payments entail?
Thank you.
Maria
Hi Maria, I’d be happy to answer every question:
1. Yes Wealthy Affiliate will help you in that regard. I’ll also be happy to help you pick out a niche that is both something you like and gets a lot of traffic.
2. Just to be clear, I don’t frown upon MLMs, just the bad kind, but that’s my personal opinion 🙂 but whether it’s for the first or second site, yes you can promote it on that.
3. The starter membership of WA is free. Premium if you decide to upgrade is what the $47/month is for, but the $19 offer is a special thing they have going on where if you go premium, they’ll make the first month only $19.
Thank you by the way for reading my site. I really appreciate it :)!
Hello Vitaliy,
I am very interested in WA and being able to make a significant income from home for my 5 children. I believe one of my sites would be geared for baby products, as I have worked in a natural birthing center for the last ten years. I was thinking that it may be a possibility to have a link on the birth center’s website to mine for baby products, is that something that would be allowed/acceptable. Also my husband is a baseball coach and has many connections, could he do the same for a baseball gear website?
Perhaps you could email me as I have a few other questions that I would rather not have seen publicly.
Thank you so much for your help!
I’d go further into the baby product topic Hanna. Baby products can really be anything: Food, clothing, diapers, health, formulas, ect… Each of those is a specific niche. About having your site linked to by that birth center, yes it is fine as long as they agree to it.
For your husband’s experience in coaching baseball, selling gear would be fine too, but for this topic, I’d also stick to a particular demographic, such as kids baseball gear. It would be a good niche.
I’ll email you as you requested, but the most ideal thing would be to explore all of these ideas within WA. You will have a lot of different things you’ll like to try, but the training there will really help you focus on the one which you’d love most.
Hi Vitaliy
I came across WA awhile ago when I was looking for a legitimate online business. I went through the process and joined as a starter member and was pregnant at the time and never continued. Two days ago I was looking on the internet for an opportunity to be able to make money online and tried another opportunity and while I was reading the reviews for that online business (Academy of online success) I came across your reviews (Thank you very much for that review) I said to myself I need to truly dedicate into doing something that can help me and my family financially. Right now I am not working and have three kids and husband working only part time. I have been working to get started training and I am on lesson 4 on finding a niche.
Can you help me with finding the niche I have a couple of niche in mind but don’t know if they will work.
Thank you,
Catherine
I can help you with that Catherine. Tell me topics you like and are very knowledgeable with and I’ll see what might work. Also since you joined WA, why not ask the community what they think about it? You can get multiple opinions on this.
Thank you for taking the time to reply…I came up with different niches and need to focus and would like to email you my two niches if possible and you can let me know what you think. Thank you.
Catherine
I’ll get in touch Catherine.
I have coached golf in high school for 26 years. I was very successful in teaching my kids how to play. This is a niche I love, however with so many golf publications and free lesson information on Youtube, do you see this as a viable market? There are only so many gimmick products to buy. Golf is also on the decline nationally. Or is there some offshoot of my talent that would be possible?
I did do a blog a few years ago with a friend of mine called A Shot of Golf in which I was the “shot maker” and he was the “shot taker”. He would ask questions and then I would give truthful, yet edgy, humorous commentary in my response. The site never did monetize, though that was never really our intended goal.
Please email me a related niche or two that you feel would be good for me to explore and succeed with based on my interests. Thanks and I look forward to running with this in my retirement beginning 1-1-2017!
Hi Coach, I can answer your questions here. For the 2 niches, golf for kids and basically the topic of learning golf are BOTH topics you can make a blog site on and make it work through Wealthy Affiliate’s help.
As for how, it’s simple, with the 20+ years you have with experience, you’ll be fine with this niche because WA will show you where to find keywords for the topic so that your blog can appear for visitors.
While the topic of gold is pretty competitive, I promise you, that there’s plenty of space there for your business to squeeze in. You can make how to videos on golf and appear on YouTube to also get extra traffic and more sales.
But that’s the basic end goal of what your future blog can look like and I’m sure if you do it the way Wealthy Affiliate shows you how to, that it’ll definitely be a great way to supplement your coming retirement.
You say you get 2 free websites, does this include hosting or is that what the $47 is for? Thanks.
Hi Betty, the 2 free sites in the starter membership include hosting.
Vitaliy,
I make handcrafted jewelry that I currently sell at craft fairs, but I’m considering an on-line business instead. Also, I may want to expand this idea and get other crafters to sell their items on the site (kind of like a mini-Etsy). Can training with WA me meet this goal?
The answer is yes Denise. There are amazing online opportunities available with your niche and it expands beyond just Etsy and selling to others. You can do personal videos and articles on how you make them, teach others to do it and all of these possibilities will be taught within Wealthy Affiliate 🙂
Also you asked an additional question which I will answer here as well regarding your current WP site and domain that you and your husband wish to work on. You can use them in WA.
Hi Vitaliy,
I’m very excited about this program and will be signing up right after I post this comment/question. I have tons of niche ideas but I’m really not that creative when it comes to writing do you have any suggestions and will there be any type of tutorial on the subject in the training? Thank you so much for your dedication to helping others!
A lot of people also have that belief but just like any skill, with time and experience you will get better at it. Also writing is just one way to express your ideas, but there’s also videos, images and other things you can do. Ideally you’d want them all to be put together on your site, but I’m sure that you’ll be able to do that once you become more familiar with it. With regards to how many websites I have, it’s over 5, but I am active on maybe just 3 of them. Thank you and I’ll see you at WA!
I’m very interested in starting an on-line business. I found out about Wealthy Affiliate by searching for a work from home opportunity. I’ve read and the reviews, comments, and your response to the questions and concerns that people had. I appreciate your honesty. As a result, I am willing to try the Membership Starter Program and put the time in to learn. Thank you for all you do.
Thank you Frances!
Hi Vitaliy,
This is the first time I have actually read through all the comments on one page and found them extremely interesting. Can you clarify a few things for me before I join please?
I have no real hobbies at all which I can think of promoting on one website. Therefore what could I actually promote on my free websites. Would I need to apply to affilitate programs in order for me to make money?
My apologies but I am just a grandmother wishing to make an extra income every month.
Many thanks for your comments and responses to the questions which have been put. Your honesty and clarity is fantastic. Please feel free to email me when you have time. I am seriously interested in joining
Regards
Sharon
Hi Sharon, no need to apologize 🙂 there are a lot of people who feel they don’t have a niche or hobby to use with their website, but it’s really not the case. There’s plenty of things you could do such as share your experiences in raising grand kids. If you look, you will definitely find it.
But if there’s still no specific topic you feel comfortable in going forward with, WA has a training program called affiliate bootcamp which might be better suited for you. I promise you that the training you’ll see inside is really going to help you pick a direction you like and I’ll be there to help (you can also ask me anything through my site too :)).
Hi Vitaliy,
I’m from Canada. recently started an ecommerce business that has a lot of competition. Its just that I have so much interest in it that I really want to make it successful. Can WA give results? I just started it recently but i think I need more than wait and see to make it successful. It would be great to have you as a guide!
Hi, WA can definitely help you there (I can too :))! There is no niche that cannot be beaten.
how long i can use the free WA website will they take it after a certain time
Hi Rick, you get to use them for as long as you like. They’re yours 🙂
Hi, is this a better way of selling everything and anything? I sell on Ebay and I wonder if this would be a better way of selling without having to pay tons of fee’s and a middle man but how would I get people to see my site? im a single mom and would love to make enough money to work from home without struggling and what is the best way to make enough money working from home?
Hi Tracy, I think WA is the best way to be honest. I know that it may seem like selling anything can offer more possibilities, but in practice it is more difficult. There’s people who do this through e-bay though using things like drop shipping (might want to look into that), but it’s a very difficult business with a lot of tedious elements.
It’s better to narrow down a specific market and sell to that market (The WA way). You can expand this business by repeating this with multiple markets.
Hi Vitality…
I have been searching the web for something legit to do at home, because I have three kids and no babysitter. It’s so rough to find and keep one that I can trust. So I have decided to stay home with them. This just happened a few months ago, and while I love being home with my munchkins, I feel like I should still be bringing in money for our family. I have no clue what I would market online, but this looks legit, so I’m interested in learning more. What kind of things do you do to run your business online?
Hi Kim, there’s actually not a lot that I have to do to run my business. I keep check on my website all the time and also spend a lot of time within WA helping other people out. This is what takes up my time. I do also spend time writing new content every few days and that’s really about it.
I know it’s hard to get involved when family life takes up such a large time span, and even if you don’t know what to sell, it’s not a problem. You’ll know once you take the courses at WA.
I belong to another country such as Pakistan ,can I also take part in the program
I believe so Ahmad 🙂
Hey man.
Thank you for pointing me to something that looks legit. I really appreciate it. I am getting started today and hopefully I learn enough so that I may go premium.
Thank again,
Abdullahi
Thanks Abdullahi!
Hi Vitaliy,
I keep hearing about WA so maybe there is something to it…..I want to ask you this…I have what I know are two excellent products to promote, one deals with health and the other with home entertainment technology. The second product (home entertainment tech product) is one I will be buying direct from overseas at wholesale cost and reselling to consumers at a very affordable and competitive retail price. I want to create an affiliate component with a built-in residual income mechanism. Does WA teach one how to do that and would I able to have that on my websites?
Yeah you could set that up on your site. If you’re already buying whole sale, you can set up a checkout cart and have people directly buy from you at the prices you establish. WA will show you all of that. The most important aspect of what you’ll have to do is make the affiliate site and that’s what WA will show you (as well as checkout carts, ect…).
Hi, my husband and a couple of friends want to build a online business for selling and repair of vapor related products. Can WA help us turn this into a profitable business? I really want them to succeed and would like to know if WA is appropriate for all businesses or just certain ones. Thanks for any advice you cam give.
Hi Tina, the answer is absolutely YES. You have your niche picked out (vapor related products) and that’s the most important part. Next is the training and in WA it is specifically made to teach you everything you need to do to have that idea become a business.
Vitaliy,
You have no idea (well, you probably do) how much your guidance has helped. I have been searching for something like this for a long time only to have EVERY SINGLE “OPPORTUNITY” turn out to be a TOTAL SCAM!!! So many folks are reluctant to share but THANK YOU, THANK YOU for passing along such great and truthful advice.
You are very welcome! If you have a chance later on after checking out WA, please let me know how you like it there 🙂
Hi Vitaliy, i saw this program and i am very interested in it. i just finished high school this year and ive been looking for a part time job now and ive also been planning to go to college next year. the problem is that ive had so much difficulty finding a job and school is right around the corner and i am tight with money. when i saw this i wanted to make sure that this isnt some sort of scam or anything. so i have some questions to ask you and to start, i want to ask how long does it take for me to receive a paycheck for the work i do on this program? also if i choose to quit this can i do so?
Hi Josh, you can be apart of WA as long as you like and if you choose to leave, you can do that anytime. Making money with this sort of thing takes several months for most cases, but if you find a niche that’s not too competitive, you can do it faster.
You’re starting on this right around the same time I did. I know very well the situation you’re in and the uncertainty of school and work. I never advise that you drop everything and focus on internet marketing (or any new thing). Do this as a side thing while you focus on school and possibly getting a side job while you’re studying. Try WA for a little bit as a starter and see if this is something you’d like to further explore 🙂
First of all thanks a lot for this rather brilliant review on WA. Now I am really looking forward to join this program and learn something entirely new and eventually earn some money (we all want to). But before it even began I encountered a couple of problems and both them as it turns out are quite big.
Firstly, I am NOT able to figure out that how will I get paid (when I eventually start making money with it) I mean through online transfers or something like that and if that is the case will I be required by WA (or any other company for that matter) at any point of time to present them with my bank details online. I was rather hoping thats not the case coz it will be a bit difficult for me.
And secondly, I DON’T live in the US I live in Germany (came here for study) will I be able to operate my website from here I know it’s a rather stupid question to ask I mean the internet does not knows any boundaries but I can’t resist to ask it any how.
If you can help me with these little niggles it would be of great help and eventually motivate me even more to join it as soon as possible.
Looking forward for your reply and subsequently the solutions of my problems.
Thanks in advance.
Hi, I’m happy to answer these questions. For the last one on being in Germany, it’s not going to be a problem. You can join WA through there and get paid through affiliate marketing as well.
For the question on how you get paid, some programs will ask you for personal information. It’s how they know you’re a real person. But if you’re uncomfortable or unable to provide that, some programs do offer paypal as an option where you can have money sent to, from which you can then have them mail you a check.
Hi, thank you so much for your guidance I am really looking forward to it and the idea to get paid through paypal is much better and safer for me.
And once again thanks a ton…..
No problem. I just saw you joined, great to see you there 🙂
