If someone asked you, what exactly is Wealthy Affiliate about for a beginner, what would you say? My answer to this question is below and it is one that I have used repeatedly when asked.

Before I give you my answer, I think it is important to mention another answer that I am sure many of you have used, which I feel is a bit misleading. Do you think WA is a money making opportunity?

INTERPRETATIONS CAN BE MISLEADING

I can understand why some may answer that question and say that Wealthy Affiliate is a money making opportunity. However that is not totally correct. Sure you can make some money, but not what people expect.

When the majority of people hear that WA is a money making opportunity, they could think that there is a cookie-cutter formula, that when followed will generate an income and thus you get paid.

You need to keep in mind that there are a ton of online scams that promote their money making opportunities, yet falls far short of delivering. That being the case, you do not want others to think that WA is yet another.

The question I asked at the beginning remains. What exactly is Wealthy Affiliate about? It is an Online Education Platform, an internet university where members can learn everything about starting an affiliate marketing business.

Did you know that WA is also known as Wealthy Affiliate University? That's what certain people were calling it when I joined back in August of 2013, and that is a fitting name for a platform based mainly on education.

IS WEALTHY AFFILIATE UNIVERSITY LEGIT?

Without a doubt...YES! Wealthy Affiliate is not a money making opportunity in the sense that most people would think it is. Wealthy Affiliate is an online education platform that teaches you how to make money online.

The training here is relatively easy because it is a Step-By-Step approach that allows its members to move forward at their own pace. There are no deadlines or courses that need to be completed within a specific time frame.

If you take a course lesson and do not quite grasp it, you can keep taking it again until it makes sense, and then you move on to what comes next. Unlike many other universities, there is NO penalty for falling behind.

The only real downside is your ability to get started in making money. However it is better to know what you need and arrive late, than move forward not knowing the ins and outs of having a successful online business.

To successfully make money online in a real legit way, will always take some time and effort. There is no lasting quick way of doing it, which is why the training at WA works. As proof, I will show you my results in my next blog.

WE ARE ALL BEGINNERS WHEN WE START

If you are a new member here at WA or you have not yet joined and are looking for a legit way to start an online affiliate marketing business, the training here at Wealthy Affiliate will give you everything needed for success.

There is SO MUCH KNOWLEDGE here, more than you will need. As of this writing, I have been a happy and successful member for NINE Years, yet I still haven't completed the Affiliate Bootcamp lessons.

This is proof that anyone who has a desire to make money online, whether it is promoting WA, another affiliate program or both, can make it work with just the Online Entrepreneur Certification course.

Now I realize not everyone is like me, and many will require further training to feel more comfortable in moving forward. However, if you are not afraid of failing, can be creative and dedicated to succeed, you can make it work.

One of the main reasons why I didn't hesitate to join nine years ago, is that the cost of membership is SUPER LOW. In fact you can take the first five lessons and build your first website ABSOLUTELY FREE, NO MONEY REQUIRED.

Hi Robert, nice to see your blog post. Maybe this will be the last one for a while until 2023- eh? You come and go....Thanks for sharing.

Hi Brenda. I probably will post one more blog before the end of the year, now that I have some free time coming up.

I can always use some refresher training to further my knowledge and creativity in affiliate marketing earnings.

I hope to see you around on this platform. Dont be a stranger, got it?

I will do my best Brenda.

Absolutely spot on Rob, I can't disagree with anything you have said here my friend!

Thank you Nick. I am pleased that you agree. Have a great week.

You're most welcome my friend and you too!

That's what I always say about WA too, Rob!

Jeff

I have that same banner in a few of my WA yearly reviews.

Awesome, Rob!

Jeff

It's an online university. We don't need to fall for that "a moneymaking opportunity" crap. Good to see you back in teaching mode :-)

Thank you. Happy to spread some knowledge and opinions. I always cringe when I see people, especially new members, claim that WA is a money making opportunity.

This is a misleading promotion of the platform that can have people joining for the wrong reason, then quitting when they learn that WA is mainly about training in how to make money.

Rob is back! :-)

Mel

LOL, I have never left, just lurking in the background.

WA really needs a Lurker's Lounge. ;-)

Thanks Rob!

Mel

Good Idea Mel. LOL

hahaha a picture truly is worth a thousand words and a good laugh, Rob. :-)

Mel

I may have to, at some point, write a humorous WA blog about those of us that "lurk" in the background. LOL

I appreciate the heads up, Rob. I will find a better place to hide/lurk now. ;-)
