Why I Decided To Go With Wealthy Affiliate

Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

It has been...6 days since I joined Wealthy Affiliate. I have little knowledge in Internet Marketing and I am just a beginner.., I found out about WA from a blog post online and since it was free, I signed up.
According to the blog post that I read online about WA, the founders Kyle and Carson are helpful to any newcomers and they communicate with them. They interact with you personally.
I was not sure if it was true...I am just here to learn affiliate marketing. And since it was free, I'll just learn as much as I can... And apparently even with the free account, you can still make money.
So what do I think about WA after 6 days?
Honestly, the first few days when I joined, I was afraid that i'll be scammed.. But since I haven't paid anything, so it is fine..So I started watching lesson 1..It was quite good. There were so many things that didn't know.. The best thing was, Kyle did not pressure me to be a premium member. He still gives you loads of information and helps you step by step.. That was when I started to change, I wanted to learn more and so I started considering if I should upgrade to premium..
On the 4th day, I decided that in order to reach my goal (running a full time Affiliate Marketing Business) within a year, I need to make major decisions which is why I clicked on the 'upgrade to premium' link... and also I got a $28 discount :)
Pros ( my observation after 6 days):
  1. Great step by step guide for beginners with zero internet business knowledge
  2. You can set up your business with ANY niche - baseball, pets,cooking,fishing. WA will teach you how to generate money from them
  3. Any niche will make you money
  4. Useful tools here in WA that I never knew existed
  5. Community helps newbies like me. I never felt intimidated... really.
  6. Kyle and Carson ( founders) replies my questions personally
  7. Loads of information here that I couldn't find outside
Cons ( again, this is based on the 6 days that I am here)
  1. Hard to navigate to Lesson 2, Lesson 3..etc
  2. The free Keyword tool is good. But the advanced keyword tool, Jaaxy requires you to pay. But keyword tool is good enough.
  3. I spend a lot of my time here. Hooked to log in to WA and build my internet business faster.
Exciting days ahead. I am currently at Lesson 3 now and I'm learning so much. I'm glad I chose WA. I'm glad that I am doing a niche that I like.. If you are reading this an unsure of your next step in internet business. I suggest you register and use the free membership, you can start earning money from there... That was what I did also.
