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!

​

- 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.

​

- 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!

Turning 40 can be a time for self-discovery, growth, and empowerment, making it an ideal moment to start an online journey. Many find that their priorities shift, focusing more on health, family, and meaningful experiences. Embracing this new chapter with confidence and intention can lead to a richer, more fulfilling existence.

Embrace Self-Discovery and New Opportunities

Your 40s are an excellent time to explore passions, talents, and interests. Whether it's pursuing new career opportunities, starting your own venture, or honing your expertise, this can be a turning point. Keep your curiosity alive by diving into new hobbies, acquiring new skills.

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, 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.

You are most welcome, Merelina.

It is not easy, depending on your level of Tech/internet experience, but it is doable.
