There are very few places online where you'll get to run your own business for $47 a month, that's a bargain. I do understand your plight, when I joined here I was pretty much destitute and at last chance hotel, I just stuck at it best I could.

If necessary, just stay free and keep working on a site to learn how it all works until you have generated enough funds to cover yourself for a coupe of months to get yourself going.

Hi jbear you get much more with the premium and honestly I don't have much more than you. But when I saw how people here in WA are so willing to help I didn't need to think twice about the money. I'm not that good with building websites but I don't worry because I know that they're a lot of good people here that will help me if I need it. I've tried to make money on other sites there weren't any how to videos nor where there any one there to help there were other sites that wanted to sell you a pie in the sky but first you have to pay I never got involved with those but the moment I got here I knew this site was different and I knew I wanted to be a part of Wealthy Affiliate right from the start everybody was asking if I needed help so I knew I was in the right place but it's up to me to work hard to put the time and dedication in to make this work they will even help you with your niche and if you can't find a niche there is also Wealthy Affiliate

I believe you can make it work. I am not yet generating any actual revenue but I network for myself with instagram. I spent one day solely on instagram gaining followers and then I let them know about my website. That was a good bump of traffic just as a test run, I got 500+ page views. I am still new to this and have only been a premium member for about 2 weeks, putting in between 2 and 5 hours daily on just building the foundation of the site. All together I have probably spent 5 hours learning the actual courses here and I just got on course 3(affiliate advertising). The rest of my time was spent throwing these (http://RAWsPokemonDepot.com & http://AmberLilesArt.com) together. Now that I can advertise on my sites I should be able to start bringing in commission. Its just about what you promote and what your niche is. Like my Pokemon site, I have ads for amazon to try and sell my visitors some related items, 3DS, Pokemon Games etc. If you put in the work, and ask questions when you have them. You will succeed. I just learned myself, ASK QUESTIONS. lol I was stuck on how to get multiple recent post thumbnails on http://amberlilesart.com 's front page. It was a simple fix that was answered in a matter of minutes in the live chat. Everyone is willing to help.

Wealthy Affiliate has this on lock. Truly a genuine community of people who want to help others succeed.

too much pressure
too short a time period
2-3 hours a day is nothing
you will still be in the same position in 30 days
whether you do or you don't
if you can't commit the money or the time
wait until you do
stay free until you can
