Wealthy Affiliate - Advice for beginners

Do you know what types of traffic you intent on using? Wealthy affiliate is decent for some free methods but I would go a different route for paid traffic.

They do offer some value for beginners.

But they do tend to turn a lot of people off due to their negative marketing tactics.

If you don't enjoy calling everything a scam, they may not be for you.

These guys even called Niel Pattel a scam.

Wealthy affiliate does have over 800,000 members and you can sign up as a free member and have a look around the site.

Have you looked into the blog, advise, books, training from Rosalind Gardner?

She is a super affiliate, has been around for a long time, she "walks the walk" and is legit.

Her book is a classic:

Super Affiliate Handbook: How I Made $436,797 in One Year Selling Other People's Stuff Online

Give it a look.

The best to you,

Steve

I'm not yet hear about that course, I know a lot but sure that i don't know everything.

But if i never heard about that course, you should be careful.

Ultimately, you still need to take action, try something. Don't be afraid to make mistake

The way to do it right? DO IT WRONG FIRST.

I hope best for you.

Oh man. You are in the right place

Where there are a lot of gurus hear and ready to help you.

I don't care what kind of ecourse will you get. But it must follow this structure at least.

1. Choose a niche
2. Choose a product
3. Create a squeeze page (you don't need to have a website, blog, but squeeze page is a must) to build your list and set up Autoresponder
4. Drive traffic into your squeeze page

Then Cha - Ching.

Here's My recommend: Stick with one niche untill you success. One product, one traffic method at a time.

Learn from the right system is very important

It could save us a lot of time. By asking gurus in this forum

You make a right decision.

Wealthy Affiliate has some good training geared towards newbies but I prefer My Lead System Pro.

Just my two cents...

Wealthy Affiliate is a great choice for motivated people who don't know how to get started.
I've been with them for a few months, and I can recommend them.
Affilorama is another great choice.
There tons of free info on the Internet (here on WarriorForum, for example), but ther problem is that it's easy to get an information overload.
So, if you decide to join Wealthy Affiliate, Affilorama, CB Passive Income or another online course, stick to it until you achieve your goals ($1,000 a month, or whatever you're striving for).

Hi Emilio,

I'm going to offer some different advice.

Hold onto your money.

I actually earn some of my own income from selling marketing ebooks, but I believe people should first hold onto their money and use free resources.

Reason being: newcomers to the industry should learn which area of online marketing best suits them.

It could well be affiliate marketing in your case, or it could be a number of other areas: YouTube marketing via AdSense, product creation, and so forth.

A place like Warrior Forum is, in my mind, an ideal educational resource (and a mostly free one, at that) for newcomers to get a feel for where they belong in the industry.

Once you determine where you'd like to work, I'd suggest that is the time to consider laying down a little money for further education.

The alternative, you see, is to potentially encounter a common mistake: to spend your money on product after product, only to find that it's the 7th or 8th product that is truly helpful in your own case.

I hope that helps, mate. Best of luck!

- Tom

Hello Emilio,


Be rest assured that Wealthy Affiliate is a great money making platform and has a big community of over 1.5 million members who are willing to help one another in the course of setting up a brand, marketing a brand, getting rankings and earning revenue.


You have all tools and resources such as the Site Content, Site Comment, Site Feedback, Link Tracking, Keyword and Niche Research tool and lots more. Kudos!

He isn't? Are you sure?

I lurked round Wealthy Affiliate as a free member, and even went pro for a month or so.
I thought that even back then - I think it was 2014 or 2015 their stuff was already outdated.
Anyway, blogging, keyword research and things like that were not to my liking. I quit. I think they do teach some good stuff, but they do not teach niche selection well. God, what awful pages I saw in there!
I don't believe more than 10% of the people in there really make money.
What's more, when you do things the easy way and host your page on their servers, then quitting WA = losing your site (unless you transfer it over to a new server and domain before you quit).
I never used their servers, I like to be independent as much as possible.

What's really a joke is their affiliate bootcamp. It's free and it teaches you to promote Wealthy Affiliate by "reviewing" offers, "unmasking" them as all scams and promoting WA as "The only legitimate" way to make money online.

Just google for any Make Money Online product review and you'll find tons and tons of WA affiliate sites. Sometimes I don't have to read more than the first sentence to know this is another one of these.

But hey, if it works ...
So I guess if you want to go down the road of blogging, SEO, ranking your site, keyword research, finding low competition keywords, buying the WA tools for doing this, ... go for WA.

Take care you find an outside sourche for choosing a profitable niche, because this is not something WA teaches well in my opinion.

But before you go all in, take a look round. Like someone said, there's a lot more ways to do affiliate marketing.
Look up Charles NGO's blog.
He has a free guide to affiliate marketing, and he just buys traffic, sends it to landing pages, and from there to offers.
Quick campaigns, hogh volume of traffic, very quick optimisation, lots of things to learn and screw up. This might be your thing though.

Or you could just get a squeeze page up, build your list and sell to your subs. This is what I do.
Or you could buy email leads (quite legit of course), import them into your autoresponder and sell to your list again. I also do that.
Or you could go for CPA and promote free offers, zip and email submit, sweepstakes etc. using different traffic sources again.

Good luck!

Even although they promote themselves as the good guys and have a wide and
varied selection of tutorials and modules for you to use, WA are really know different
than most other online marketing businesses.

If you look at their approach for both physical and digital products then, you'll get the
gist of what I'm saying.

WA affiliates give mock reviews about digital products they've never bought and usually
slag them off and with poor reviews and wait for it ............ There's a bend and the end and guess what it is? They'll offer the reader and chance to put things right by joining up
via the WA affiliate link and bring more more money in to the WA affiliate and owners pot.

If you go down the route of promoting physical products and not the WA progam then, you'll again do mock reviews about niche related products and put yourself across as an expert on things you've never bought with a selection of product company comparisons.

It's one thing trying to be the hero and offer alternatives, but another to slag off other companies and mislead folk in a discreet manner!

My advice is to stay away from WA. Very unethical training in my opinion. Cross-promoting to the max, destroying other peoples program reputations along the way.

Big thumbs down from me!

It's a good place to learn how to market online. Especially a beginner. There is nothing wrong with giving reviews. Just make sure you give an honest one. They have good hosting and training to get you started. I'm not with them but I have a brother that is picking up internet marketing from there courses. He hasn't written one review. You can market any way you want. I've seen some people bashing their system. It's not the system it's the marketers.

It's a newbie trap.

IMO you will retard your progress by buying into their rhetoric.

The live chat where you are suposed to have access to "experts" is a joke. It's the blind leading the blind, down a dead-end alley.

To become a successful marketer, You have to choose a right niche where you have good knowledge and command. Identify your audience needs and choose a right product according to it. Write a detailed review post and create email lists. This will help you to drive more sales and increase conversions as well.
