Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

For WA friends who are doing boot camp training,

If you have visitors to your site seeking your help because they are not able to join as FREE Starter Member like myself a few days ago, please note the following complete list of excluded countries below.

As of Apr 2019 (verified by Loes with Kyle),

  1. Nigeria

According to Kyle, there are a lot of fraud and spam from these countries. To protect the community in WA, the above countries are excluded currently.

However, people from these countries are able to join WA as premium members directly (no discount on the first month) if they are really serious about learning from WA.
