Wealthy Affiliate Premium membership worth it? You bet

Before I decided to take the plunge and sign up to the Wealthy Affiliate Premium membership, I spent a long time thinking about it. I'd been a free member for a while and I enjoyed the experience but I was reluctant about spending money on Premium.

Will I ever make any money?
Is Premium membership any good?
Is Wealthy Affiliate just another money-making scam?

When I first tried to get into earning money online several years ago, I had my fingers burnt by several false starts with other sites and products. I don't know how many hundreds of dollars I paid out searching for a real way to make money online. Everywhere seemed so full of claims about easy riches and learning the secrets that nobody else will tell you.

Well, all those other ones I tried turned out to be a waste of time. Sure, I learnt a few useful things here and there but I was still on my own, trying to figure out this big and sometimes confusing business. People on other internet forums and groups weren't interested in helping a newbie like me. There was also always another upsell; another expensive layer of membership to access promising the 'real' secrets and techniques. The owners had no time for you unless you had purchased all the extras.

In the end, after months of trying and barely earning anything at all, I quit. I decided that an ordinary person like me simply can't make money online. It's only an elite few who are lucky or clever enough to be able to do that.

Turns out I was completely wrong!

A short time ago I again became interested in creating a second income for myself and I decided to look again at affiliate marketing. This time I promised myself I wasn't going to throw away huge amounts of money. That's when I discovered Wealthy Affiliate.

I stumbled across a few reviews who promised that I could try it out for free. This was pretty much unheard of in all the other ones that I'd come across so I decided I might as well give it a go. I was really impressed immediately by what I found. The basic training took me through all the fundamentals in a really clear and detailed way. The ability to build my own free website and have 30 searches in Jaaxy was something I really didn't expect. Plus, there was immediate outreach by this awesome community, something I'd never experienced in any of the other places I have tried.
Even so, I was a bit wary about going Premium as I wasn't sure whether it would really be worth the money.

I was really wrong... again!

When I first signed up I have to say I was a complete cynic and thought that Wealthy Affiliate must be some scam and I might be wasting my time. Now, I'm a complete convert! I am really enjoying working on my website and I've met some really awesome people through this community and are looking forward to meeting a lot more!

Let me know if I've missed any key features of Premium off my list that you love.
