Show Me The Money

Here is a question that I get asked several times a week. Can you actually make money here on Wealthy Affiliate?

Let me start to answer that my saying that it is said that 95% of the people who are on the Internet trying to build a business do not make money.

It is also said that 90% of the people who buy a product to build a business never use it to its full potential.

Can you make money here at Wealthy Affiliate?

Of course you can!

But!

Yes there had to be a but!

The but is, "It all depends on you."

What you are willing to do.

Are you willing to take the training and apply it without trying to reinvent the wheel.

Are you teachable?

And the big one, the huge one, Are You Willing To Do The Work It Takes?

There are no guarantees you will make money because you are the unknown X factor in the equation.

The training is there but what will you do with it.

So can you make money.

I do!

Look at me

I am not your typical suit and tie business person.

I am old and retired.

Thank goodness I do not have to live off of my retirement or Social Security.

Here is a very good post that OneBlueMoon did back in May.2017.

https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/onebluemoon/blog/7-years-of-...

Go look at it and then ask the question.

"Can You Make Money Here."

It was almost a year ago when that was written and there are more success stories lived since then.

Remember that 95% of the people that try to make money on the Internet do not make money. I was reading something by a competitor of Wealthy Affiliate who I will not mention. He did some pretty intense studies of Wealthy Affiliate and he said that 83% of the people on Wealthy Affiliate do not make money.

When I read that I laughed out loud.

He was trying to bash Wealthy Affiliate but he just said that if you are not a part of Wealth Affiliate there is a 5% chance you will make money. If you are a part of Wealthy Affiliate there is an 17% chance you will make money.

Without Wealthy Affiliate 5% chance you will make money

With Wealthy Affiliate 17% chance you will make money.

Hmm I may not be but a half smart country boy but even I can figure out which one I want to go with.

What make the difference in succeeding or not is not Wealthy Affiliate?

It is You!

Never give up!

Onward and Upward

Thanks for another thought-provoking post, Bo. I hate it when people are handed a 100% works every time system and then they try to pick and choose pieces they are comfortable doing and when they fail it's always the companies fault. If you are to make money online you have to be 100% in and you will work hard to make it happen.

I just want to say my friend you always have good on point comments. I appreciate you commenting on my post. I know you have been around awhile and have experience building a blog. Great comment

Thank you Bo.

Perfectly said Bo. I know this to be true since unless it's a scam, some people are successful using most products and a far greater percentage are not. The reason why has nothing to do with the product and everything to do with the user. I speak from plenty of personal experience. :)

~Mark :)

You and me both have plenty of personal experience

Hi Bo, I think that the people that give up on WA because they did not earn money straight away have unrealistic expectations. As a newbie it's the most important lesson that I have learnt here. It is why I decided to go with the yearly subscription, and my goal is to see "something" within two years. Being a little technically challenged,I know it will take me at least that long and since I've come to that realisation I have been less stressed and very hopeful.

You have to give yourself time just as you said.

Bo, I really think that’s all everyone here needs to know - in a nutshell. Statistically:
1. We are more than 3 times more likely to make money than other marketers
2. We individually have to make it happen by our own efforts.
3. There is no 3.
Simple!

Thanks for yet more inspiration

Terry

Terry, you said exactly what is the reality of Wealthy Affiliate

Hi,
I think I may of come across this guy online too.
I actually did have a read.

I think your percentage rate with him sums it all up in a Breath.


Any ways back to me lol.

I was broke I was fed up and in 2016 I came across Wealthy Affiliate. I have to say I have never looked back.

I did not make money over night it came about 4 months later.
Was it hard work yes. Was it because of me or WA..

My answer to that is.


When you roll into a place like W.A. it's all there in steps and even better when you go premium you get the chances to see some great training.

Like from you, Bo, you yourself. Wow your trainings are awesome and essential.

I have come as far as I have, why because I am surrounded those people that know.

Like yourself Bo and Kyle and Carson and Jay and the countless others who offer help and do extra training for us.

In fact from my earnings to date in a matter of fact W.A. has cost me nothing just earned me money. It's given me knowledge I never knew I could learn.

What more could I want.
Thank you Bo.

Awesome post

Hey and I succeeded because I never gave up.

~Debs ;-)




Hi Deb, Thanks for the pep talk. Plugging along!
Irene

You also succeed because when you came here you were willing to do whatever it takes.

Where can you start a business with virtually no capital investment and have the potential offered at WA. I tell people to watch Shark Tank and see real people investing thousands of dollars and not making money.

Starting a business is hard and takes focus and commitment. It is really all up to me and you on if there is money to be made.

We need to keep the eye on the prize.

I do agree with if you want to make money then you have to EARN it.
Any job you do, any business you run takes work. Like anything in life.
I will make money here and I WILL work for it.
I am teachable, just a little slower than most.
Great post.

I don't know that you are slower than most I think you move at your own pace.

If I didn't believe I can make money doing this at WA, I wouldn't be wasting my time.

Time is money and I believe in time the rewards will come through.

Do the training, follow the steps, and like you said, you don't have to reinvent the wheel. Apply what works.

Exactly right apply what works

That is very enlightening. Like you, I am retired and although I have a nice income, it's not enough. What really irks me is that when I want something now I can't just go buy it and make the money back in a very short time. Now I have to plan for expenses and think about everything ahead of time because I can't just easily cover the occasional splurge. Hence WA. Also, I'm not very good at sitting down and letting life happen to me. I like being involved with others, doing productive things and learning. I'm willing and eager to do the work, so it's off to the races in another exciting field.

Thank you for your input. I'm looking forward to hearing more from you, my friend.

Bill

I do believe it depends on you and what you put into it. I am working hard and believe that I will be able to make money in the future. I am determined and know that you never get anything without working for it. I want to retire early and this is my chance. I will make the best of it and succeed.

And I know you will
