Help meee! I'm so new to this! <3
Hey guys,
I have been interested in generating an income online for the last few years. I have tried so many different kinds of jobs but the reality is that no matter what I pursue, it always means I am stuck in one place doing the same thing every day. Unfortuantely for me, that is my version of hell. I thrive on change, adaption, variety etc. My biggest passions in life are health, psychology/sociology and philanthropy. What I truly want more than anything is to be able to travel the world and gain life expereince while giving back to those who are in need. I am naturally skilled at connecting with people and I believe that I can make a positive impact if I am given the freedom to do so.
With that being said, as I've spent more and more time looking into my internet income saviour, I have found myself feeling more and more overwhelmed by everything that is currently out there. I have friends that work in all kinds of different affiliate marketing but the majority are the ones that are constantly spamming their friends and family on facebook and instagram, which I don't find appealing at all.
I would really like to feel comfort and confidence in whatever affiliate venture I decide to commit to. Without the sales pitches and the "THIS WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE" crap. I want the truth, I want to know how much is needed to invest overall, the statistics of failure and success, what ultimately leads to success and how much I have to personally contribute in regards to time and money.
I was introduced to WA while reading about Anik Singals Inbox Blueprint. After watching countless webinars, I found his to have resonated with me the most. Only to find at the end of the end of the webinar it was a $1000 to get started. I have student loan debt, bad credit and no finanical help from family or friends. It would take me atleast 2 months to start with Inbox blueprint. Which led me here. I would love to hear some feedback about the process and the challenges that are presented once you get started so I know what to expect. In turn, feel more confident about devoting time and energy into this.
Thanks for taking the time to read my rant :)

"But remember, you are building a business here. You get OUT of your business what you put into it. Ask any successful person what the fundamental reason why they are successful and others are not and they will usually say one of two things. Hard Work or Focus."
I hope that helps!
Hi Emily, looks like you have been searching online for that life changing opportunity, you have come to the right place to learn the skills to create a successful online presence, there is one up grade and that is to premium membership, it costs $49 per calender month even cheaper if you pay yearly.
And that is that, many of us have done the rounds before getting here, WA us a dynamic platform which also provides us with the resources to create a successful business.
Best thing to do is make the most of your fist 7 days check out, you won't be disappointed
Best wishes.
Hey Emily,
I can see that you've definitely done a lot of research which allows you to have such realistic and great mindset to have.
Here's what to expect...
Wealthy Affiliate never teach you how to do affiliate marketing by spamming people like you mentioned others are doing. We're all aware of that.
Instead, you'll be building your own website here, write content that rank in Google to drive traffic to your website. And then convert that traffic into buyers for whatever niche product you'll be promoting.
Wealthy Affiliate focuses on Free traffic method from organic SEO. (Basically means free traffic from Google). So it takes time for Google to trust your site and rank your content. That's why it can take 2 to 3 months to see some results.
In the first 2 to 3 months is the time when you build your foundation. You'll learn everything about how to choose your niche, build your website, write content, drive traffic, choose affiliate products, convert visitors things like that.
Most people can expect their first sale to come in in 2 to 3 months time provided that you put in consistent work ideally everyday.
6 months is usually the time where you can see some breakthrough in traffic and sales, again if you're consistent in your work.
But once you build up the traction, this is passive income and you don't have to work as hard as in the beginning to make even more money. That's why building website is so good. It can be working for you 24/7.
For me personally, I gained some experience over the past two years. This year 2018, it took me 6 months to reach my 4-Figure passive income month. So, I'll be going full-time on this very soon at just 21 years old. But I've definitely put in lots of time and hard work throughout the past 6 months.
Once my passive income is more stable and it's growing on its own, I can spend more time with my family and enjoy the things I want.
As for Premium Membership, it's essential for you if you want to go full-time at this. You'll need the training, tools, resources and support. It's just $49/month including your website hosting things like that. So, it's unlike Inbox Blueprint where you need to pay thousands of dollars.
There's no upsell for Wealthy Affiliate so don't worry about that. Premium Membership allows you to gain access to the whole community and the entire training.
And the best thing is that you can start your first month at just $19.
I hope this gives you some realistic expectations for this business with Wealthy Affiliate.
Let me know if you need further clarification.
Oh yes, WA also covers Pay Per Click (PPC) as well. That's the only paid traffic covered in the main training.
Of course you can get faster results with paid traffic but that's gonna cost you a lot more. That's why WA focuses on Free traffic method that requires a longer time. I hope this makes sense to you :)
