Ways to make money with Wealthy Affiliate that are NOT Affiliate Marketing.
Hey there,
I want to start a discussion here and list a few ways that are not affiliate marketing that you learn skills for at Wealthy Affiliate.
In the first few days of training, you begin to learn to build WordPress websites from start to finish. By the time you are done with the OEC or Affiliate Bootcamp you have a skill you can hone to earn $150 per page or more but let's look at some other things besides opening your own website design business.
,
- Search Engine Optimization
- Local Search Engine Optimization
- Advertising Design and Cost Management
- Freelance writing (Ghostwriter for other publications)
- SEO Content Specialist
- Sale Copywriter
- Write your own books and e-books on your niche.
- Podcasting or turning your post to audio versions.
- YouTuber creating VLOG Content
- Pay Per Call Sites - Creating mini-sites that rank in local search and charging people like contractors and doctors per phone call they receive. This can also be done for other types of businesses collecting lead information.
- Syndication - Every niche we can create and become a go-to expert in has publications like magazines, news sites, and ezine newsletters that need regular input from experts and many will pay per post for your knowledge.
- Branded Merchandising - I have a Spring Store that I am building to sell Entrepreneur sayings on T-shirts and Mugs. Our Coffee Powered Money Machine Products look HOT.
- Consultant or coach. Be it your niche or as an affiliate in general you will graduate here well on the path to being a Digital Marketing expert and an expert in your niche, why not coach others to do what you are doing now?
- Image Designer, you make your own logo early in training and also learn to make marketing graphics, CTA images, and banners so why not do some for others?
- Domain and Website Flipper. If you can register a domain name and put around 30-50 great posts on it in a popular niche you could resell this property for as much as 12 times current annual revenues or $25-$100 per page with no revenue history.
See this is a very short list of just some of the things you can do with what you learn at Wealthy Affiliate. If you can honestly tell me these skills will not more than cover your membership you are likely on stronger medications than me.
I challenge you to find things not on this list you learn here at Wealthy Affiliate that could be a perfect side hustle and help others find their fastest path to profits. Please note I use several of these tasks to make money every year as a WA Member.

Hello Andy,
Thank you for your post. You make some great points here.
The Internet has opened up so many opportunities for many of us. I appreciate that AI has changed quite a few things. However, you can't beat having human input. On one of my websites, I used to sell advertising; I plan to do this again. There are many options available to anyone who works online.
Have a great day.

I was always a people person before my breakdown which handed me the challenge of social anxiety. No I can do all these things from home using email and Zoom.
Good morning Andy,
I'm sorry to hear about your breakdown, Andy; it's amazing what some people go through. I actually just read your profile page, which makes for interesting reading. There really are some interesting people on this platform. I feel like I know quite a few of the members, but there are still lots of members that I don't know.
I do hope that you are getting back on your feet, it sounds like you are. I'm so thankful that you have a supportive family; that's so good to hear.
I think the Internet is such a wonderful invention, with everything it has to offer. It's wonderful that you are taking advantage with all the tools that are available on the Internet.
Wishing you all the best and a great week.
Roy
Thanks, Roy. I decided especially after the RV Fire that my psych diagnosis was not going to be all I am and that has led to nearly 2 straight years of massive personal gains, now for the financial part.
I'm really pleased that things are moving forward, Andy, that's great news!
Keep up the great work and be encouraged!
Enjoy your day.
Roy
Great post and ideas, Andy! One question... what is a "Spring Store" and is it something I could sell my own t-shirt brand on?
Spring is a free store where you can put your logos and sayings, graphics, and more on apparel and dinner wear.
Thank you! With that information I was able to find the site. I'll check it out in greater detail.
SEO content alone can get you 15 cents a word or $150 on a 1,000 word post. Jay teaches us expert level SEO at no additional charge.
Hi Andy - I have been a professional writer for 12 years, and in the past have had no shortage of clients willing to pay between $70 and $100 per 1000 word post.
However, with the introduction of AI, it has become increasingly difficult to get work.
Why pay somebody when you can get content written yourself for a fraction of the price?
I have diversified into writing shorter pieces for clients (to post on Medium, for example) selling AI images and social media management.
As you say, there are always ways to make money online, if you are prepared to put in the work!
AI is both an opportunity and a curse. Embrassed it allows you to be more competitive in price due to lower time cost per post, but it also affords more availability allowing 1 human to scale into a workforce without hiring one. As writers you do need to focus on the things AI will never be that humans are to each other like being relatable with true back stories.

Hi Andy,
This is quite an extensive list of things we can make a niche out of with the training we have access to here on WA. turning our blog posts into podcasts or publications is what I would like to do. I used some of the skills I learned here and my main WA website to publish an ebook Swiss Travel Guide for my lead magnet to obtain leads for my new travel advisor business. Thanks for the info you shared. All the best to you in your endeavors.
Yes I am building my WordPress design and SEO site and hope to have it launchready in April. I also plan a lead magnet to beef up reasons to join my 3X Weekly newsletter and may write something more substatial for sale before the year is out.
