Let's talk about money today.
A lot of people are having the same question of wondering if it is really worth it to turn premium in WA.
For me, it is definitely a no brainer because the return of investment(ROI) is simply great.
Let me explain. Below are some ways to help you pay the premium membership even when you are just starting out.
A yearly membership costs $359 which is roughly $1 per day.
1. Site Comment
Once you've turned premium, you will get access to this tool called "Site Comment" which basically let you earn WA credit by leaving comment on other member's blog OR request for comments by using the WA credit. In short, a marketplace for high quality comments.
You will earn $0.50 for every 2 comments after becoming a certified commenter(which is not hard to do).
In short, you only needs to make 4 comments per day to pay for your yearly Premium membership.

2. Tax Write off
For those who don't already know, WA premium membership is a business expense so it can be written off compared to your income.

3. Free Starter Referral
For every new member you bring into WA, if they complete the account setup then you will earn $1.
I believe that everyone should a friend that's really into writing. Even if you don't, you can easily find one on social media like Facebook group or Pinterest.
Help them out by recommending WA to them because they can learn so much about online marketing and more importantly make money while doing their passionate things.
It doesn't cost anything to get started so encourage them to try it out. If they don't like WA, just ignore it. No harm trying out.
If they like it, there's a big potential of creating a full time income here. So it is a win-win situation for everyone.
4. 2 Premium Referrals
You only need 2 premium referrals to pay for your premium membership and you have an ENTIRE year to do it.
Even if you can't complete it in one year, you just need 4 referrals for 2 years.
I can guaranteed you that you can easily surpass that number if you stick to the trainings here in WA.
Lastly, I hope the information above can help clarify things a little bit. Some information might be obvious to many people but it can be helpful to those who are just getting started.
Before you go, just want to give a little motivation to help you keep working hard.

This is one of my websites' income from Google Adsense. You can't really get approved by Adsense as a beginner. That's why I encourage you to go yearly because you need at least 6 months to see results.
I have heard other ad networks like Mediavine and Monumetric pay 2x or 3x of what Adsense pays.
I will definitely look into them when I meet the requirement but before that we just gotta keep the head down and work hard.
Wish everyone good luck in your online venture.
Cheers.
