Can you Make Money by Joining WA or by Doing Affiliate Marketing?
It's been 6 months now that I've joined WA and I haven't made a penny yet.
Anyone who just get in the world of Affiliate Marketing because they know somebody else has made money that way or just by curiosity will certainly ask them self:
Did I made the right decision?
Will it work or I'm just wasting my time?
To be honest with you, I don't have any idea, I don't know who you're, your motivation and most important your expectations.
However, I can give you my opinion and it's FREE, lol.
Few Months Ago
Before I've joined WA, I wanted to sell on Amazon and eBay, I did it, it took me more time as others, I'm not in the US and I wanted to open a US account with my friend's Chinese ID, it was pretty complicate, however I was able to open the shops and made some sales.
Did I made money? NO! I even lose some, not a lot, still I'm losing money.
Six months ago I watched some training about selling on Amazon on YouTube and I saw a video of a guy promoting Affiliate Marketing, the guy was probably a scam, but I end up signing for WA. Yup life is really a box of chocolate, you never know where you will end up.
And here I'm now.
The Present
After 6 months without any results do I still believe I can make money with WA and Affiliate Marketing in general?
My answer is definitely a big YES.
Why Am I So Sure?
Because many peoples has found success in WA and outside WA by doing Affiliate Marketing, no matter is through Amazon, Clickbank, WA Affiliate and many other platforms.
After watching many webinars, most of them will sell you training for at least 1 000$, I'm convinced I can make a living of Affiliate Marketing. However I've never joined these trainings. The last one I saw was about selling ClickBank products and they were asking more 2 500$.
The main reason I've never joined these trainings is I'm convinced I can learn by myself, and I want to learn by myself, I believe it's the best way to learn. Learn to teach, if you learn in order to teach you have to learn Twice.
it's also one of the reason I believe WA will help me make money. What's wonderful with WA it's it shows you the direction, but how you can get there?
It's up to you, you do it at your own rythm and as you want it to be and yes, they're not asking you 1 000$ and more.
The Futur
So can you make money with WA and Affiliate Marketing?
It's all depend on your mindset and your determination.
The worst thing that will keep you form Success is your own brain, if you learn to fight him, if you can convince yourself you will be successful, so YOU WILL BE SUCCESSFUL without any doubt.
Don't let the little problems of your everyday life keep you from achieving your goal
We all have problems at some points and we will have more, it will slow us down, sometime it will make us doubt about our decisions. It's how our brain reacts in order to protect us, however we can learn to fight it.
You only need Determination and Patience and keep learning and believing.
Show your brain who is the Boss.
Conclusion
I'm very grateful to be here within WA and it fabulous community, it's the most amazing thing that happened to me for a long time.
I'm still behind for a lot of things, but I'm making progress and I'm building my projects brick by brick. I've start from zero again many times, even when I've already written more than 20 articles for a website.
The most important is to Take Action, start your business, don't be shy, don't overthink, there are a lot of changes you will need to make on the way.
There are only 2 things you have to keep in mind:
You will be Successful
Take Action
And yes Good Luck to you all.

Hey Calvin,
I really enjoyed reading your article. Definitely, you can make money thru WA Bootcamp and also by pursuing a passionate niche.
I find it's much easier having a passionate niche site because I'm already an authority over it and writing is much easier.
WA Bootcamp is also wonderful because I'm learning all the time which makes me also an authority on my WA site too.
Perseverance and setting goals, following all the lessons are the best way to be successful.
Best,
Monica
Thanks, Monica.
I also intend to do both and also selling my own products on Amazon, eBay, and Shopify.
Thanks for your advice on working in a niche, I'm developing some ideas and has secured few domain names, now I need to create the websites.
I envy your experience, I hope in 6 months I will be able to accomplish more.
It's motivating to see peoples like you within WA who has found success.
I have the desire to do more, a lot more, however, we can't always do as we wish and learning takes time.
PS: I also have a friend who is a diving instructor, he usually works in the Philippine, he likes it very much because he has said goodbye to a very well paid job to pursue his passion.
That's wonderful Calvin, I know you will be successful here. I have much more to do yet ... my sales are not enough to make a living.
Just make sure to work on one site, get lots of content, traffic and sales before you move onto another site.
Great to hear your friend is passionate about diving too. It's better to follow your passion than to do something that is even a high paying job and not be happy doing it. Life is short.
Yes, life is short and time is precious, if we don't use it to follow our passion, our life will be a waste.
Agree one thing at a time, I've chosen one, working on it, I think it will be ready at the end of this month.
It's exciting, I know I will have a lot of things to do and try after the website is created. It will be a good occasion for me to apply what I've learned and continue improving.
I'm sure you will have more and more sales because you have everything set up already.
There's one interesting way of making money for you as you have experience as an instructor, perhaps you should try Udemy.
You can create a free course to start, as Udemy has a lot of visitors it can drive traffic to your sites or affiliate sites.
I want to do so, but as you suggest one thing at a time, lol.
Great idea Calvin, I'll have to take a look at Udemy as soon as I write more content. Thanks for the wonderful suggestion... I hadn't thought of it.
I'm glad you are having lots of fun here... it really is a blast learning and experimenting.
Calvin, this is an excellent post, I said when I joined it would take me at least six months if not twelve to start showing a return, I believe in all that you say so good luck young man.
Thanks, Stuart.
Good Luck to you also.
I believe 12 months is a good indicator, so many things to learn to be able to do it properly.
Looks like you go really fast, only 2 months here and you've accomplished so much.
I should learn from you and start to speed up a little.
I also believe so Elaine.
I just realized you joined the same month and same year as me and you're far ahead already.
102 post, woaaaaa, you have a lot of experience in writing, I envy you for this particular skill.
I'm still looking for the right way to write fast and interesting articles.
I really have to step up my game.
Yes, you can make $$ either through affiliate marketing or by selling WA through premium memberships. These are the most popular ways.
Continue with the training and apply yourself. You will succeed!

Thanks, Howard for the advice.
I will do as much as I can and hope one day I can also find success as you did.

Good post Calvin and you sound like you care. As you say if you keep trying and pay attention then things can turn out positive. Good luck,
tom
Thanks, Tom, it's very encouraging.
One thing that slows me down, it's coding, Lol.
I like coding and I believe coding is the future as so many things rely on technology nowadays. I try to spend a least 2 hours every day learning to code. One thing I regret in fact is to learn Graphic Design instead of Coding at school. Graphic Design is easier to learn, you can learn it by yourself if you really want to.
Tech is the new revolution, it just started, even it's already very mature, a lot of good and bad things are ahead. As Affiliate Marketer is very promising.
Wish you the best.
Glad to hear it Calvin and I hope to hear more from you. Cheers,
tom
