When Will I Get Paid? Every New Member Asks

We hear this question so often in today's "I WANT IT NOW" society.

We hear it from new members here at Wealthy Affiliate every day.

Since the first of June this year, I have welcomed every single new Premium member.

So hopefully anyone joining since then will see this post and get their answer.

Wealthy Affiliate is not a get rich quick scheme. No such thing exists. Any guru, expert, or fly-by-night millionaire promoting such, is a liar and a con man. Do not fall for such shenanigans!

Such snake oil salespersons only get rich off weak people looking for the easy way to riches.

WA does not give you the keys to the Federal Reserve Bank. You have to earn those keys by following the training, focusing on the SMART acronym for setting goals listed below, hard work, perseverance, and consistency.

Specific Goals

Measurable Goals

Attainable Goals

Realistic Goals

Time-based Goals

I find every single person at Wealthy Affiliate wants to see other members succeed and will bend over backward to help them. We are a team. All after the same championship. We have rookies, we have veterans, and we have you. Be patient and learn from people who have been doing this for 10+ years. Read their success stories, and their tutorials. They have nothing to hide and are willing to share their expertise.

I believe other members here will agree this timeline is very attainable for all who follow the training and put forth the effort.

Here is how your journey could look, a realistic journey.
