I have been reflecting back on what made me decide to sign up with Wealthy Affiliate and take steps forward into creating my online business?

It started with my version of affiliate marketing many years ago.

I had been looking for a long time for an opportunity on the internet that I could use in my pursuit of a home based business. I had even created my own websites (out of MS Publisher back then) and I dabbled with selling books through Amazon.

But I didn't really understand the concept of niche marketing and affiliate marketing. I really needed to find some training

I have tried other programs and not been satisfied

I didn't enjoy a lot of the aspects of MLM business and I have lost some money on a few suspect programs, but I was really keen to do something online.

One day I read a review on Wealth Affiliate. I was a little skeptical but immediately I was blown away by the fact that I could try this out without having to pay - or even give anyone my credit card details.

Tried and Tested

I mucked around for a while, doing the training and I create several, pretty bad, websites using SIteRubix. It was cool that I could experiment and delete them and start again .. it helped me get confidence in myself.

Once i figured out what I wanted to do - I ungraded to an annual premium account ( just seemed logical if I was going to back myself to make it happen). I bought a domain name and off i went.

Today, I own a bunch of domain names and have a bunch of websites. But the one I work on personally the most is my affiliate "go to" site. This is my online business development site - I am passionate about sharing this business model to who ever i wants to listen.

So, why did YOU choose to start an online business with Wealthy Affiliate ? Feel free to share and then we can all use this post as a testimonial link for your website .

I came here when I found another offer was scammy. Fortunately I didn't invest anything in it.

A friend (who also had no idea how to set up a website) recommended it to me and I am so happy that they did :)

Thanks Jude

I realized a while back that I hated the fact that I HAVE to go work for these companies and do these jobs i don't even have an interest in, and donate years of my hard working style and work ethic to receive maybe a few extra dollars. If I'm going to give years of my efforts towards something I want it to benefit ME not someone else. I had just like many of you been searching for the right thing online, and I always wanted to create a website. I even had ideas already for a site, but had no idea where to begin.
I came across WA, went through the first course offered for free, and joined within my first week. This was 2 months ago and ever since I haven't looked back. I am happy to know that I am now building MY dream and NOT someone else's.
The big thing that grabbed me here at WA was they always tell you that your success is determined by 1 thing. YOU. They don't guarantee you anything you aren't' willing to work towards yourself. And I Love that! I have no problem doing the work and paying my dues when I know it's toward my own success and business. Thank you for sharing and allowing us to share our stories as well :)

I have always wanted to start my own online business and WA appeared to be the best program out there when I did my research 3 months ago.

Wealthy Affiliate has not disappointed and I am so happy I joined this awesome community!! Wish I would have done this 10 years ago.

See James, I'm tired of being sick and tired.

I hear you !

Because I was tired of working 40 hours a week for someone else. Now I'm working towards working for myself full time.

Why did I choose wealthy affiliate? It starts out with an MLM company called world ventures, to me it was something that I felt blown away by, the whole "make a living while living" and travelet theme. But I still felt somewhat uneasy, even after I joined. I however knew one thing, I desperately wanted to change my life which is what I am in the process of doing right now. Anyways, after being signed up for world ventures for 3 days, I decided that this wasn't going to work for me, I realized I didn't want to harass, ask everyone I know to join, and lose friends while making a fool out of myself. I found a very honest review about world ventures. I don't remember the reviewer''s name but it was on a website called Barenakedscam. That's also where I was introduced to wealthy affiliate. I was very skeptical at first, but I could only find positive review after review after review and figured I may as well give this a shot. So here I am, I am on wealthy affiliate because I want to use this platform to help other people, to help myself, and if I ever get good at this, quit my job and live a more healthy and fulfilling life.

Because I couldn't stand being away from home and wasting all my time on making my bosses dream come true while mine went by the wayside.

Recently my job was discontinued (thats a nice way of saying outsourced). I went through the same scams you did and finally stumbled on WA, the rest is history. Good luck.

Hi James, pretty much the same as you. I spent a lot of time and money on supposedly genuine business offers only to find they didn't deliver what they promised.
Wealthy Affiliates delivers everything they didn't. I feel very confident promoting the affiliate program and my niche, Aquaponics, is building very well using the WA training and tools.
Thank for your post, looking forward to reading other answers here
Cheers Kev

Cheers kev
