How To Leverage Material On Wealthy Affiliate To Build Your Business
In giving several site comments recently I noticed a trend. More members are leveraging material on Wealthy Affiliate to boost their business.
What does that mean? And how can you use it in your affiliate marketing business?
Two Kinds Of Website
There are two major ways to use affiliate marketing,
- Market products and services to meet a need or solve a problem
- Help others to set up their own Make Money Online business
It is no coincidence that Wealthy Affiliate has two training courses, each focused on one of the above.
The Online Entrepreneur Certification course teaches us to do the first. The Affiliate Bootcamp course teaches us the latter.
How To Use Affiliate Links In Wealthy Affiliate
How can one use the material on Wealthy Affiliate to help those who are not members and maybe not even know about Wealthy Affiliate? If your site has an MMO niche, then what follows is more appropriate for you.
For those who have other niches, you can still write blogs to share the benefits of developing affiliate marketing skills. Then and only then, share that the best source to learn these skills is in Wealthy Affiliate.
Let's dive into the steps to develop these skills.
7 Critical Skills
The following is a list of 7 key skills necessary to build an affiliate marketing business.
- How to select a niche
- How to build a website
- How to create content for your niche
- How to pick Keywords to rank high on the search engines
- How to use SEO to drive traffic to your website blog
- How to use Social Media to drive traffic to your website blog
- How to use Email Marketing to generate sales
Note that each of these begin with How To? Wealthy Affiliate has a wealth of training for each of these steps. In my opinion the most effective ones are found in the weekly webinars taught by Jay Neill, our Wealthy Affiliate training coach.
Webinar Affiliate Links
For those who haven't discovered it, every webinar has an affiliate link unique to each member. In fact, virtually everything in Wealthy Affiliate, including blogs written by you and other members have these affiliate links that are unique for you.
When you provide any of these links to non-members, and they click it, they can have access to these materials.
A few of these links, for example, the first 10 lessons on the OEC and Bootcamp do not require a Premium membership. Access to the webinars does require Premium membership. In my opinion that is a good thing for your business.
One Suggestion To Use These Links
Here is one approach to use these Premium only links to introduce the webinars for each of the 7 skills above to non-members.
Seek out the webinars available for any of these skills. Most of the time there are a series of webinars spanning one month that address this training.
Create a blog on your website for that skill and explain how they can help one's business.
In other words, create a teaser blog that provides a little of the webinar information but not all.
Make sure you provide enough information to peek sufficient curiosity for the reader to want to know more.
Then dive into how they can find our more details by clicking your affiliate link that will take them to Wealthy Affiliate. Make sure you tell them the steps they will have to go through in order to access these webinars.
What's In It For You?
Namely, sign up as a starter member first, and then upgrade to Premium. Present the cost as less than a cup of latte a day instead of giving the actual price.
When they sign up as a starter member you can guide them using the Affiliate messaging tools to help them make the decision to upgrade.
After upgrading they will have full access to everything on this platform.
And you will earn a commission. Paid monthly as long as they remain a Premium member.
Does this make sense to you? Are you one of the members here who is already using this approach to leverage Wealthy Affiliate to grow your business? If so, please share your experience. And provide any helpful tips.
Please Share Your Opinion
Regardless, I would love to hear your opinion on this blog.
I have just started to use this approach hence I do not have any data to share yet. When I do, I will write future blogs about those successes.
As always, I wish you much success in your affiliate marketing business.
Cheers!

Thank you! This was very helpful. I just wish I could click on a link in your 7 steps which would take me directly to the specific webinars!
It looks like I need to set up another website to do this as my food blog wouldn't be pertinent.
Is this usually done as a "Make money" blog or as a review site?
Hello Amy,
This is normally done on an MMO site but also through writing blogs on WA too.
I agree it would have been helpful to link so you could obtain the very webinar you seek another way is to copy and paste the title in the query box at the top of the page in WA pages WA in white at the top left hand corner and it will give you suggestions to click on
You can also get all of Jays webinars by clicking on live events on the Dashboard on the left coulmn of your WA page 3rd down below Dashboard..
Have fun!

Hi Amy,
The reason why I didn't add links is there are so many webinars over the years on these topics. As well as members training. If you did the work I feel you will pick materials that resonate with you rather than me.
Al the best.

Exactly Rami. This is not hard to do.

Thanks Edwin your post. It will help me. and also it will help newcomers too learn more what is the way of start and continue their work.
Right on. Great thinking.
Linking to WA page content is a terrific feature.
And your images are so good. (the last one whats in it for you is rather dark. You may want tho use a lighter one to represent action.)
Nice piece of work.
Hello George,
Thanks for your response and good advice. Glad you liked my post. I will find a last brighter picture and change that. All the best to you.
Cheers.

Thanks Edwin. You have just encourage me more. I have thought of it a long time ago.
But, I'm afraid that it may cause me breaking a/some rule/s or something.
I've been commenting on SiteComment but I haven't came across to a site that leveraging WA training (directly).
So, if this "step" is okay with WA rules, then I bet, many of us here will do the same, including me.
I'm with you Mina, I don't want to break any rules but this could be good for business.
WA encourages us to use any affiliate link that is available to attract referrals. Everyone wins in this way.
Cheers.
