For those who consider joining to Wealthy Affiliate

Nail Yener · 10-18-2009, 01:18 AM

Because I am not a member of Wealthy Affiliate anymore and their affiliate program is open to members only, rest assured that this review can not be biased in nature. I will not be promoting them -since I can't-, just reviewing them.

OK, here it comes.

After conducting a lot of research and hearing dozens of great feedback about Wealthy Affiliate, I decided to join them about one year ago. I was just at the beginninng of learning the internet marketing stuff and I was a bit confused. That's why I looked for a step by step action plan that I could follow easily. Fortunately, I found what I was looking for and more than that at the Wealthy Affiliate University. Kyle and Carson, the founders, had explanatory articles, video tutorials, an 8-week action plan, many useful software to help you get started and speed up the process, a forum full with success stories, they even had a hosting plan included. Great start for a beginner.

I stayed three moths as a member at the Wealthy Affiliate University. I had to cancel my membership due to offline reasons that I was not going to be online for a long time.

In that three months time, I learned much about internet marketing, especially affiliate marketing, -those are not the same thing, you know-. Using one strategy discussed on their forum, I made my first sale ever with a Clickbank product and others came after that.

I never managed to complete the first week of the 8-week action plan. I don't know what would have been if I could follow that. I am not good at sticking to plans, you see. But I am sure if I had followed that plan I would have been at a different point today.

I established the core of my internet marketing knowledge in that three months. Nevertheless, as time passed I left Wealthy Affiliate and continued the journey on my own.

The one thing I can say about Wealthy Affiliate is that I feel myself lucky that I met them at that time, when I was desperately looking for a step by step course. To conclude my review, I will talk about who will mostly benefit from the course and it is up to you to decide if it is for you or not.

Wealthy Affiliate is for you, if you are

a complete beginner, e.g. just heard about internet marketing.
a beginner, have some basic knowledge about this stuff but do not know which direction to go.
an intermediate, but in need of a step by step action plan.

Wealthy Affiliate is not for you, if you are*

an advanced internet marketer and know what you are doing.
a pro that can write the book of internet marketing.
looking for a fast action blueprint that will show you some tactics to make money right away.

* Note that I am not saying that you will not benefit from WA, if you fall into this group. I saw some guys who have been there for 2-3 years and they were very comfortable about what they were doing. Besides, I am considering to join them in the near future too, to catch up with the latest news and trends going on there.

That's all about Wealthy Affiliate. Thanks for reading.

I had a very similar experience and I am going to re-join Monday. I have been through a couple of other products and I have not seen anything better, even the price.

I was a member of WA for about 5 months. It is a great community of successful and want to be successful IM'ers. Despite was mentioned in the original post, a lot of very successful people are involved in Wealthy Affiliate. People like Travis Sago, PotPieGirl, Thad & Dave (Affiliate Niche Club) and several more. I ended up cancelling only because I ended up using other products to get started and found other forums (that didn't charge to be a member). The best advice I can give u is try it for 30 days or one of the 7 day trials they do occasionally and see if it's right for you.

I am a member of wealthy affiliate. I like them a great deal, especially for the contacts and the friendly community and the willing transmission of expertise. I can't say that I need the organization as I am not a beginner; however, the contacts I made there and some of the products/aids still have value for me. I think I am also sentimental.

I highly recommend Wealthy Affiliate to any beginner!

I am thinking about re-joining. I know what path Im going to take if I re-join. Currently doing article marketing right now but I feel like im doing it "blindly" I know about keywords and stuff but still thinking about it.

I have also same type of situation . But as a beginner i had benefited from this program , At the time when i joined in this i was only familiar with PTC programs and Hype Programs and adsense , I never know that the internet market is there , which need to be followed professionally . But Wealthy affiliate changed my way of thinking . Now i am no more affiliate to that program . But i cant forget the knowledge i got from that program

Wealthy Affiliate certainly is the best place for beginners...but it is also pretty handy for those are ''experienced'' as you can create great connections with the elite members there...even more so than at a free forum.

I wouldn't join though until you've at least tried out their free stuff (see sig)

If you're not afraid of work give it a go!
