Hey guys, what's the main difference in purpose between Bootcamp and Certification courses? I have started both and I am on Course #2 on both but doing both of them at once is very time consuming and so far I couldn't realise the difference between the two as far as purposes go.

If you can give me a short - not a whole training or lengthy blog post - answer I'd appreciate it. Time is tight so I want to choose which one to continue.

Thanks!

If you have identified your own niche to build upon, then follow the certification courses.
If you do not know and have no idea what your niche is, WA suggests starting with "making money online" niche. You can follow Bootcamp if you want to go into this niche. Hope it helps.

Keep it going.

They're not really meant to do at the same time. The certification courses are aimed at affiliate marketing in general and building your website from scratch around whatever passion you choose.

The bootcamp courses are similar but instead of building around whatever passion you choose, they are aimed at you jumping in on WA's affiliate program and promoting WA.

Thanks for your response. And that's where it's confusing. Bootcamp Course, Lesson 4 is a good example if you look. It's not at all focusing on the WA affiliate program. That and the rest of the lessons also talking about how to set up a chosen niche. So basically it looks the same to me as the Certificate courses. That made it rather confusing and hence the question.

Well of course there are going to be aspects that are the same. You are still setting up a chose niche, for example, it's just that in the certification courses the niche is of your choosing and in the WA Bootcamp, the niche is helping others build their online business by promoting Wealthy Affiliate.

Don't worry, just keep at it. The only real reason for the confusion is because you were trying to do both at once. Just stick with the Bootcamp and it won't feel redundant at all. :)

Thanks a lot. Yes, that's what I will do. Bootcamp first. Cheers!
