How to Work from Home and Make Money Online

How to Work from Home and Make Money Online

Are you done with the 9 to 5? Itching to fire your boss? Tired of the long commute to work?

Or are you a stay-at-home Mom looking for ways to become a work-from-home Mom? Because that's why I started googling topics like...

How to Work from Home and Make Money Online

My hubby thinks it a bit weird that I pump up the volume whenever Dolly Parton's 9 to 5 comes on the radio. Because I don't work 9 to 5 (anymore).

But I love hearing the song for exactly that reason (it reminds me how lucky I am) and because it has one of my favourite lines ever in a song: "Pour myself a cup of ambition".

So pour yourself a cup of ambition and read on...

I discovered there are many ways to make money online but only one that really made sense to me - Create a Website of my own and Turn it into a Money Making Machine.

That's why I chose Wealthy Affiliate University.

Wealthy Affiliate (WA) is NOT a get-rich-scheme, a scam or some kind of shiny object on the net (avoid those if you can).

It's a genuine path to real wealth because it teaches fundamental principles like these:

  • build a website with helpful, rich content to serve your audience
  • use keyword research and SEO to attract organic traffic
  • master affiliate marketing to maximise your income

I've been with Wealthy Affiliate for just over 2 years and I've created 3 websites so far. They are all making money.

Wealthy Affiliate Success Stories

I've also had time to get to know some of the big Success Stories at Wealthy Affiliate.

Here are just 6 of the BIG NAMES online who made their start right here at Wealthy Affiliate and now are making fortunes. (Not all of them like to reveal actual numbers, each has their own definition of success).

If you were even in doubt as to whether WA is the right place to learn how to make money online, you won't be after this post.

Steve of IveTriedThat

I'll start with Steve's post because it's thanks to Steve that I joined Wealthy Affiliate.

Steve's definition of Success is closer to "Work from Anywhere" than "Work from Home". He loves taking his family to beautiful places and setting up his laptop where he has a great view. He writes a post a day 5 days a week. #laptoplifestyle

Steve's Review Site, IveTriedThat, currently has a Domain Authority of 46.

10.5 Million Visitors Have Visited My Site

Lynne Huysamen of Kaboutjie

Lynne has 6 or 7 sites (I'm losing count). I'm adding her next because she is the person who has mentored me here at Wealthy Affiliate.

Almost every cent I've made online so far has been due to a tip-off from Lynne.

Kaboutjie currently has a Domain Authority of 36.

Does Fiverr Work? YES I've made over $5000!

Dominic Wells of HumanProofDesigns

Dom Wells used the knowledge he learned at Wealthy Affiliate to create an incredible, hugely successful business selling done-for-you aged affiliate marketing websites.

He recently launched a whole new program as well.

Dom's site currently has a Domain Authority of 39.
