KYLE THE MEMBER NOT THE CO-FOUNDER but probably the reason most of us found this site.

You have seven days to try out some of the premium features at Wealthy Affiliate. After the countdown reaches zero then you will not be able to ask and answer questions or post blogs or comments or participate in Live Chat.

You can stay as a free member as long as you like and you can still use your free siterubix websites. You can continue with the free lessons.

When you are ready you can choose to upgrade to premium membership and the higher levels of lessons or not. The choice is yours.

You did just bring up one thing that has been bothering me. I found a review written by a WA member about a similar online affiliate based system that claimed to offer a sure fire way to make a very large amount of money relatively fast even if new members are totally ignorant of technology all together. This site tells potential members to watch a long video to its end and this company promised that once u had seen the vid in its entirety you would be granted access to a totally free system that would make you a millionaire but at the very end of the vid the script flips and asks for an up front payment just so they can weed out non serious responders even though they quite often said through out this vid that everything was free because they want you to join and make money purely because the more you make they more you make them. I AM NOT GOING TO SAY THE NAME OF THIS SIMILAR COMPANY but I will say that if a persons eyes are open and they have any common sense, all of the flags are in plain site. I WOULD BE LYING IF I SAID THE 6 DAY TIMER THAT IS COUNTING DOWN THE TIME BEFORE YOU LOOSE ALL LIVE HELP AS WELL AS ANY ANY COMUNICATION WITH PEOPLE THAT HAVE PAID FOR THIS MEMBERSHIP(anyone that can show that this is a real job that creates income) does not seem like a somewhat strange push to spend money b4 most people can even begin to understand the system and that to me is a flag but I am willing to see how much valuble I obtain in the next 6 days that puts me at peace with spending $49 a month on a system that goes that extra step to prove that the system they are selling works for the majority of its co-workers?, partners?, employees? or clients. I hope you can help take the skeptic in me and sell the system you all support and vouched for. I have almost exactly 6 days get the proper understanding of this system and I hope that is more then enough time to sell me on upgrading so please any and everyone send me any info that u have and you feel would help me to better understand and trust this system b4 I am cut off from asking for assistance. THANK YOU TRUELY

I appreciate your healthy skepticism.

How many scams (and there are many scams around) will offer you a free trial without any upfront payment? WA has no way of charging you unless you upgrade. They don't have your PayPal or credit card details.

I'm not going to try and sell you anything. I'll let the program do it for itself.

ya I am doing some research. so far the 6 day trial is the only thing I do not like if I am being completely honest. Really what do they have to lose if someone does not upgrade their membership but still works on the two sites that WA give you for free. I could be wrong but as an affiliate to WA money in my pocket is money it WA's pocket, right? That timer was the only thing on this page that made me step back and say I really need to put in some research b4 I commit to paying $600 a year. If the average WA affiliate makes little to no money for the first 2 to 5 years then if most serious hard working members have to wait 2 to 5 years, 2 years is going to set you back $1,200, 5 YEARS, THATS $3,000 outa pocket. 2 years is an associates degree and ya an associates will set u back $30,000 or more but after 2 years of paying on my membership I would hope to be making enough to survive. I don't need to be rich but I would hope that after 2 years I be well enough off in this program to pay my membership fee and at least be pulling in $1,500 a month from WA with unlimited growth with time and effort if I fully commit to this as my permanent career.

most of them start by saying its free but some how by the time they have put u through a 40 min speech filled with promises but no answers they keep u long enough to hit every angle of their sales pitch then when they are finally done talking the first thing they do is prove that they started out lying to you. This clock has a different twist but I am fairly certain I found a post underneath one of those adds claiming to be free and it led me here. I HONNESTLY think this site would do better if it extended the clock by at least double and did not imply that it is totally free. If the system works then a better understanding of it would only create more platinum members.
