What I Have Gained in the 4 Years Here at Wealthy Affiliate

It is August 2017, four years later after joining and I am still very happy to be a member of Wealthy Affiliate, also known as WA. As I have stated before, I came to WA to learn how to build my own website so that I could start an ecommerce business and break away from eBay.

What I learned from the training here changed my financial future for the better in a way I never imagined. I learned about a new way to make money online called affiliate marketing, a type of marketing that does not require you to buy or sell any products.

THANK YOU KYLE & CARSON


Before I continue I want to say a BIG THANK YOU to both Kyle and Carson for creating Wealthy Affiliate. This is the first website community I have ever been a part of that truly cares more about the success of its members than making money off of them.

When we look around at all of the other make money at home online opportunities, the majority of them have so many expensive upsells for additional training and resources. However here at WA that does not happen. In fact it is the opposite.

The majority of new members, with the exception of those from a few high risk countries, get to start their first 10 lessons and get 2 WordPress websites to develop for FREE. When I say free, I do not mean pay a small price with a money back guarantee. I mean FREE – you pay NO money to begin.


Then to continue the training you only have to pay $19.00 for the first month and then $49.00 for every other month going forward. There are NO more needed upsells. In fact, WA offers a yearly membership that will actually save you a lot of money rather than paying monthly. More on this in just a bit.

Yes, you are recommended to sign up for a monthly Jaaxy keyword research account, but you do not need to. As a premium member you get unlimited keyword research using the WA Keyword Tool. I have used this exclusively for 4 years with great results. The same is true for buying a domain name from WA.

The $49.00 monthly fee includes ALL levels of training both current and future as well as the resources, website hosting, and support needed for growing an online business. Then Kyle and Carson go even further to help us save money by offering a yearly cost of $359.00 which comes out to $29.92 per month.

SUCCESS AND FAILURE ARE TOTALLY UP TO YOU

Everything that a member of WA needs for success is all contained within this great training platform. However the one thing that can bring about failure resides in each one of us. If you act on the training for at least a couple of hours every single day and you do not quit, you will eventually succeed.


But the problem with many new members is that they expect success will come quickly and without putting in at least a year of solid learning and building. There has never been a business both online and off that has become successful without lots of hard work and time.

If you want to be your own boss, work from the comfort of your home, and on your own time, you must put in the time and action to get all of that going. Success only comes after you learn the proper steps, which the WA training provides, and then you consistently apply those steps.

Everyone, no matter what kind of niche they select, will experience success at different times. Do not pay attention to how quick someone else started making money because it will not be the same for you. The reason for this is simple. Others who learn and work more consistently than you will succeed quicker.

So when you join Wealthy Affiliate and decide to become a premium member, make sure you have enough money, about $558.00, to pay for at least 12 months without earning any money in return. You could start earning within 6 months like I did, but it was not a lot of consistent money, that came around the 1 year mark.


WHAT I DID TO START MY SUCCESS WITH WA

This is exactly the approach I took when I joined WA because I knew that the learning curve of a new process for earning money online would take time. However after three months of being a premium member I was fully convinced that Wealthy Affiliate was the best opportunity for success.

It was at this time that Kyle sent out a blog post stating that WA was going to offer a $60.00 discount on the yearly membership cost during the Black Friday weekend in November. Though I had plans to one day become a $359.00 yearly member, I signed up for the special price of $299.00 per year.

By taking this yearly special price I was saving $289.00 per year, because 12 months of $49.00 each month would equal $588.00 per year. It was a no-brainer for me, but I also knew that I couldn’t sit back and coast. I had to keep working hard and driving towards my goals.


WHAT I GAINED AS A WA PREMIUM MEMBER

I have come a long way in my four years here at Wealthy Affiliate. Here are some of the notable achievements I am proud about.

  • I have created 8 websites with 2 others in the early development stages
  • I know how to do niche and keyword research plus SEO, Search Engine Optimization
  • I can now write better quality content than before
  • I have obtained Google page 1 rankings more than 20 times
  • I became a WA Ambassador within my first 6 months of membership
  • I currently have 14,866 followers on WA which follow because I help others
  • Every month I make far more than my $299.00 yearly membership fee from the WA program
  • Because of the WA training I also make money every month from 4 other affiliate programs
  • I currently have 353 Google indexed WA blog posts as well as 61 training tutorials
  • My most popular training tutorials are below

NOW IT IS YOUR TURN

If you are a new member to Wealthy Affiliate or you are thinking of joining, let me impress upon you this fact. THE WA TRAINING WORKS! But the training only works if you take action with it and you do not rush through it.

If you truly want a legitimate way to make money at home online and become your own boss, do not procrastinate in becoming a premium member of Wealthy Affiliate. You will not find a better opportunity anywhere online or off.

You will get so much for such a low price. No other training program can compare to WA and I would like to thank Kyle and Carson once again for creating this amazing training and online business building community, and thank you to all of my followers. I will be a member here for a very long time.

You are welcome Suzanne and thank you.

4 years for you, 4 months for me. Thank you for your wisdom. You posted at a good time for me.

You are welcome. Just keep going because 4 months is still in the baby steps portion of your website development.

Very well written. Thanks for sharing and congrats on another anniversary.
The early months can be hard after the initial excitement wears off because we never know when or own sites will succeed, but so many people have shown that with enough time and work, it will happen eventually.

You are welcome Craig. We all must give ourselves at least a years amount of time when first starting out to experience some level of success. As long as we learn and work hard towards that goal.

You've gained a lot Robert. It really does pay!

Yes, it truly does pay Michael.

I'll open the door to opportunity.

I hope all will open the door to opportunity here WA.

Nicely put together!

Thank you Sherri.
