Many Income Streams At WA
So Many Opportunities Exist Here
When I started out at Wealthy Affiliate (WA) in October 2019, I did not realise that the environment here would be so diverse and dynamic. As I shared in a previous post, I just wanted to learn how to make money online - just like everyone here. There are so many income streams at WA though that we can take away and turn into a thriving business. And all from the comfort of our home, beachfront, mountain top or wherever you are inspired the most. Here are just a few that make tickle your fancy and move you into a career that you never had in mind.
1. Become a Kick-Arse Writer
While the initial attraction to WA is to earn money online, we soon realise that there is work involved to achieve this. Some would say that we are being taught the old-fashioned method, but even if you feel that way and new models have emerged, what WA teaches us is timeless. One of our Community Members reminded me of this today. Once we follow the lessons and do as the work, so well taught by Kyle, Carson, Nathaniell, Jay and others, we are well on our way to become good Writers. With practice . . . and more practice . . . we can become Kick-Arse Writers! I love that title.
Writing or Blogging, whatever fits best with you, you will become great at it. This is no overnight success career. As we are constantly reminded, it will take time. The training and support you receive here though will push you along the Writer's track faster than you know. I am pleased to say that I got an A in English Language and I write A LOT for work. However, becoming a Digital Writer or Blogger takes different skills and I am happy to be mastering them in our WA Community.
2. Teach A Man To Fish
I am a Certified Trainer and Facilitator. As a Facilitator, II can learn any subject, redesign it for clarity and simplicity and give it back to others in a way that allows them to take ownership of it. It becomes their own. In that way, I have helped them learn a new way of thinking, perspective or skill that now increases their worth and makes them attractive and valuable to others. They, in turn, become Trainers of others.
If you haven't figured this out yet, everything that we are learning here at WA is valuable to others and because of this, we can redesign and train others. We are actually called to design training and again, practice in our WA Community to hone our skills. It does not have to stop there though. What we are learning here can well become another stand-alone income stream.
3. Navigate The Word Wide Web
Then there is this! The Internet! The very world that brought us together and keeps us motivated and pursuing our dreams. This is where we exist and WA does an excellent job of helping us learn how to navigate in this bottomless economic mine, filled with borderless opportunities to earn, learn, grow and achieve. Here we can do and be anything we want to.
As we navigate we learn to research - more about what we already know and even more about our interests and the dreams and wants of others. We learn about Google, Bing and Yahoo and how to use their tools to achieve world recognition and financial success. With these additional enablers, we can move our visitors into our network by helping them to become our clients and customers. As Researchers, we can become educated Buyers and Sellers.
Do Not Limit Yourself
These are just a few money-earning Roles that WA opens up for us. Of course, there is Affiliate Marketing which is our first attraction but I want to encourage you to see many more possibilities for yourself. Explore as many of them as you can. What you learn here can talk you along many career paths, some hat you may never have thought possible.
Take some time out to do some research on yourself.
- What strengths do you see emerging in yourself that you did not see before you joined WA?
- What aspects of WA are you enjoying the most?
- What can you take from your learning here and creatively add value and redesign to support and help others?
Whatever path(s) you take, I wish you much, much success in 2020 and always.

Hello Cassi, I agree with you. WA allows each of us to learn new skills which are transferable into the real world. I like the way your mind thinks and the suggestions that you share on how we can create multiple income streams by using these skills to help others.
Something I have noticed is that we are able to learn how to build a website that ranks well in Google and content that can convert visitors into sales and repeat customers.
I think these marketing skills are very valuable. Because so many people pay lots of money to learn SEO and Keyword research along with conversion techniques and we get to learn all of this each day here on WA.
Thank you for your wonderful article and wishing you continued success online and beyond!
Hi Kay,
Thank you so much for your feedback and kind words.
As someone who is so experienced in the digital world already, I consider your feedback to be very valuable.
Unlike you, I am new - although my professional career started in IT in 1983 as a Programmer/Analyst.
So much has changed now.
I am enjoying being in the field again and also having the opportunity to write.
I have always wanted to write and travel.
WA will help me do much more of both.
I look forward to following your progress and success and staying in touch.

Hi, Cassi, that is amazing you want to travel and write. That is such a great goal and there is much opportunity for you. I started online after working for several years in a customer service call center.
I ended up following a link I found online that was looking for writers, at the time I had no experience but I applied and gave it a try. It turns out that I was good at finding information on the internet and I was able to use that skill for creating articles on a variety of subjects.
At the time I did not know how to use keywords. The site that I was writing for is what is known as a "content farm" writers were paid from the shared revenue that the site gets from ads located near each article.
Since the site had a high pr authority at the time it was easy to earn money because organic visitors would find the pages and click on the ads. The downside is that the site decided to close down due to google changing its algorithm which caused the site to lose traffic.
I have learned from that experience that it is always best to have your own website. Basically if I had kept those articles and put them on a self-hosted website with my own domain name, then I could have kept my potential earnings. This is one of the reasons I am on WA right now to learn about marketing and about building my own websites.
That would be the advice I would give is that you will want to have your own brand as a blogger and write ebooks to sell online, that way you will have more control over your content.
Kay 😊
Kay, thank you!
This is excellent advice and I particularly like the selling of e-books.
I am working on one right now and will reach out for some assistance.
So very good to have you here with us bringing such good experience.
Have an enjoyable weekend.
Cassi
Thank you Cassi that sounds really great.
Have a wonderful day!
