How to Promote WA Effectively Before You've Made a Single Penny
Often times new members come in thinking they can't take part in WA's affiliate program because they're not yet an "expert" yet or because they have yet to earn money with their affiliate marketing business.
This is a point I covered in class 1 "How to Promote WA Effectively" as part of the current expert class series "Become a Super Affiliate '24/'25". For those of you who are Premium Plus+ and missed it, go watch the replay! And for those who aren't Premium Plus+ let me share an important point from that class with you here.
There's a simple mindset shift that you can make that can help you EXPLODE your conversions and help you deliver the right message to your potential referrals here as you take part in WA's lucrative affiliate program: Wealthy Affiliate, at its core, is a TRAINING platform. And how do you grade training? On how easy it is to follow, apply, and LEARN from.
It's not about being an "expert", it's about communicating to your audience (who's just like you, by the way) how they can follow your footsteps and start LEARNING from a platform that actually cares about their success.
Double down on the training, the affordability, the thoroughness, the lack of the expensive "pay as you go" training modules that are so prevalent in other training platforms and you'll be able to highlight how WA stands apart from the competition.
Then, once you do start earning commissions, feel free to highlight your success and use that to build on your authority. But don't feel you have to wait till then to share why WA is a great training platform for even newbies to learn from!
This is how I found my success just starting out. I realized there were so many people out there just like me tired of seeing those ridiculous "guru" platforms with unrealistic promises of revenue and upsell ladders and I realized how Wealthy Affiliate would be a breath of fresh air to that same audience.
Focus on learning as your own goal and it'll be easy to sell that learning experience to your potential referrals :)

Thank you for your advice, Eric, it's appreciated.
As always, honesty pays off; it's good to be real as, over time, people will see that we are the real thing and not fake.
I always like to promote products that I know are genuine. We can do this in an honest and genuine way with Wealthy Affiliate; even if we are just beginners, we can document the process to others.
A very happy Monday to you.
