How to Make Money with Wealthy Affiliate without a website
There are two ways to make money here at Wealthy Affiliate: with a website focused on a niche you are passionate about or the Wealthy Affiliate Affiliate Program. Both are easy to do with the training provided here at WA. Provided you take action with the tools given to you, they can also both be very profitable.
This is why I signed up for WA in the first place. The free tools provided in the Starter Membership were making me enough money to pay for the Premium Membership. I knew I could earn more money with the tools included in the Premium plan.
This has proved to be true.
Two months in, I have started three websites: one for my passion, one for a preexisting business, and one to promote WA. The first two have proven to be profitable, while the latter has not. This was okay with me, as I just started Affiliate Bootcamp about three weeks ago, as well as the site using the tools from it. However, I found it odd that no links had been clicked from the site.
What was I doing wrong?
I followed the training exactly. I was writing quality content and posting regularly. I searched for keywords considered "low hanging fruit" to improve my site's chances of being found on Google, Yahoo, and Bing. I posted my new articles on Google+ and other social media.
I was doing the exact same thing with this website, I'd done with the other two, yet I was seeing no results.
Again, I knew it was pretty early to see anything, but still this was odd given my experience with the other sites. Was it my content? Nope. It was something much simpler.
I signed in to WA today to do a bit of training in the Affiliate Bootcamp. I immediately noticed things had been changed and my achievements wiped. So I went through the course quickly to see if anything was new. Bootcamp had been updated to accommodate the new SiteContent tool.
As I read about SiteContent (and realized how much easier it was going to make the already simple posting), I decided to write a post for my newest, and under-performing site. After posting, I realized why the links on the site hadn't been clicked...
I never created them.
I felt so silly I had to laugh at my own self. I went through each page and post, fixing the problem. Less than 30 minutes later, I had raw clicks on the links.
I wonder how many I missed.
What's beautiful here, is that even though I failed to properly create links on my site to help others sign up for their own free Starter Membership here at WA, I still gained two referrals using the information I learned in Bootcamp. Why? Because I'd learned how to make WA relevant to folks in the training. I learned how I could help them create a profitable website here at WA. I showed them this in person and gained not one, but two referrals without even trying.
My conclusion: the training here at WA is beyond just creating an attractive website. It helps you change lives, while earning an income, no matter where you are in the world and whether or not you have the resources you think are necessary.

I'm impressed. I've been here a month now and I don't know if I've had any visitors to my sites yet at all. Time to do some checking myself.
Thanks!
I try not to spend too much time checking, so I only look about once a week. The exception is when someone signs up, because we get the email, so them I'm curious as to what's going on on my page. I've also only looked at my Google stats twice. There's a good reason for this though.
As shared in the training and my personal experience from having sites in the past, getting stuck in the numbers can lead to wasted time. It is good to glance at your stats here and there to make sure things are growing, but spending too much time on it doesn't help things at all.
By all means, since you've been here for a month, you should probably check things out. Never know what you might find :)
