With or Without WA
I used to hear about online business and that people get financially stable with online businesses but really I didn't try to research or look into the actual meaning of Online business since I was under the impression that it is websites launched by store owners to increase the online sales.
My mindset changed when I came across e-commerce videos on Instagram and I decided to research a bit more and stumbled on Wealthy affiliates link and decide to make a free account (of course not too long ago ). I decided to become premium after looking a bit into WA.
So in couple of weeks I have been spending way more time online then I ever had in my entire life as I am taking training WA courses at the moment.
During my break from the training, I actually end up browsing internet a bit more since I have never been a Tech Savvy and I am trying to understand what is it that I am actually doing here. May sound Dumb but I promise I am trying my best to understand every aspect of it :(
Since last week I have been seeing websites offering cheaper Free domains and website building tutorials etc.
As much as I am enjoying WA and connecting with Amazing people on here and getting help, we have to keep in mind that there is a cost associated with it. And I totally understand that nothing is Free in this world and the also the concept of you get what you pay for.
I still need to understand EXACTLY why I should stay on WA (pay membership) than going on my own with a different route, without paying anything and build my own website.
Not that I want to leave WA as I am aware of the fact that online is Full of scammers, spammers, hackers etc. but still need to understand.
Please help me understand this, my Dear WA family. I definitely need help and I don't want to fail in my online venture.

For me, everything is all in ONE place and the Site Support and hosting are superb! One gets what one pays for! Best of luck on your decision!

Hi B ...
This is an extract from my profile that gives you my reasons for being here rather than elsewhere:
"I first joined WA in 2014 but family challenges at the time led to me leaving after just 1 month. I came back August 2020.
Between 2014 and 2020 I put some time into developing a little knowledge of Wordpress and learning what I could about aspects of marketing online, although I still had no operational online marketing experience. I 'investigated' a few online business/marketing training organisations that provide support for new and experienced entrepreneurs. Having been here for about 6 months now I can honestly say I had previously found nothing to compare with the WA experience.
I believe the following premium level combination of attributes are probably unique:
- 120 high quality, well organised, progressive lessons from beginner to eventual expert;
- countless additional and regularly augmented modules on an enormous range of related subjects;
- Access to one of the best keyword research tools available(Jaaxy);
- provision of fast, reliable web hosting and dedicated technical support;
- excellent turnaround of answers to questions when asked;
- with a large actively supportive community of like-minded people... all of whom are or want to be, earning money online, and most genuinely want to help each other."
All of these WA benefits are available in one form or another elsewhere... nowhere that I found had more than one or two of them. I followed a couple of free introductions ... both of which built up to selling a much more expensive service than is available at WA. None that I found provided the level of technical support found here. So I opted for the best value for money combined with the most comprehensive approach.
The best way for you to be sure of course, is to do your own research...

Thank you so much for explaining this so well Richard. I do appreciate your time.
Yes I am hoping to get better on internet soon so I can have my own online business plus independence.
Thank you again . :)
You are very welcome. Just keep training, taking action and asking questions. That’ll keep you moving in the right digestion.

Hello BC2006! With or Without WA.
Actually, no other person can decide it, only you.
I can tell you only why I liked to stay here in WA.
My seasons are:
The WA platform and the quality of the training is the one I like and the best.
If I have a problem with my site, I have 24 hours Site support to assist anytime. WA is already a trusted platform and has more than 2 million members and maybe more this time....
And I'm sure it's not a scam place, plus they're a lot of training to offer and to learn which is add on and to be used to my affiliate marketing work.
And lastly, I have full support from the WA community 24 hours. Also, I understand that there are no free services anywhere on the internet online business world. Why going to other places? I'd been there already.
The important is I feeling safe and secured here in WA. I hope this helps.
Thanks,
Joyce
I truly love your response. Yes I am someone really scared of online scams and fraud and for that reason decided to be with WA after realizing that this is legit.
So far I still need to understand how and who to contact incase it is related to error in my payment.
I mean I purchased a domain and I noticed today that it is charged TWICE :(. No idea who to contact. I mean I know kyle and Carson, but I also know they must be too busy to even look at my message .
You can go message straight to Sir Kyle, don't be ashamed, and he is the right person to address that matter.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
Joyce
Only you can decide what and where you want to be. You see all that is to offer so no one can tell you to stay or go. You need to do that for yourself.
Very True! But really I am trying to understand the difference of being with WA or without WA. :(
Like a story I read, if you step OFF WA, suddenly you wake up. You look West--nothing. You look East--nothing. You look North--nothing. South--nothing. Then you look Down. That is when you see all the dark shadows circling your little boat , and you are all alone. A really good place to look, then, is UP!
That is when you remember the safe Harbor you left, and hopefully remember how to return.

I understand and agree with your concerns. I wrote an article about this concern that many have with online businesses in this new digital world we're in and how sometimes it's difficult to differentiate which ones you can fully trust. Is Wealthy Affiliate A Scam? Guess What. You're Not Alone! I know it will help in your decisions and may give some insight as to where you position with WA stands among other platforms.
Have a great rest of your week and stay strong in focus. No matter what platform or community, you choose... we'll be hear waiting to give a helping hand.
