Starting My Online Journey at 40 with Wealthy Affiliate (You Can Too!)
Hi everyone!
I'm Merelina, and I just turned 40. For a long time, I thought making money online was too complicated or only for young tech whizzes. But guess what? I was wrong!
I recently joined Wealthy Affiliate, and it's been a game-changer for me as a complete beginner.
What is Wealthy Affiliate, simply put?
It's an online platform that teaches you, step-by-step, how to build your own website and earn money from it. Think of it like a school for making an online business, but super friendly and easy to follow.
Why I like it (especially for us beginners):
- Easy Training: They break everything down into simple lessons. No confusing tech talk!
β
- Friendly Help: There's a huge community of people, just like us, who answer questions and cheer you on. It's like having a big support group.
β
- Everything in One Place: You get all the tools you need to build your website and learn, all under one roof.
My Experience So Far:
I'm still very new and I never thought I could do it but I did! It's exciting to learn new things and see how it all comes together.
If I, at 40, with no prior experience, can start learning how to build an online business, then you absolutely can too! It's never too late to try something new and create a new path for yourself.
Come join me on this exciting journey!

Welcome, Merelina, to WA!
You will love it here. Everyone is so helpful in paying it forward to each other :)
I wish I was 40 and starting Wealthy Affiliate! I would have loved this program and community back then, lol. I'm 76, so it was a few years ago and not even public internet 36 years ago. Jump ahead 16 years and WA was born, but I was working in IT at that time on mostly mainframe stuff. I didn't find Wealthy Affiliate until 2023.
So, you have started at a perfect time. Enjoy!
Be sure to stick it out. It will all fall into place if you endure.
I'm wishing you all the best in your endeavors.

Hi Teri, thank you for the wonderful welcome! I really appreciate your perspective, especially knowing your background in IT and your journey to Wealthy Affiliate. It's inspiring to hear that you're embracing new opportunities at any age! I'll definitely keep your advice in mind about sticking it out. Thank you again for the encouragement and best wishes! βΊοΈ
Hi, Melina.
When I found WA I was 58, and any computer/internet knowledge I ha was so outdated it crumbled to dust a long time ago.
So it can be done.

Hi JD, thanks so much for sharing your experience! It's really encouraging to hear that. Gives me hope!
You are most welcome, Merelina.
It is not easy, depending on your level of Tech/internet experience, but it is doable.
