I agree with what My Labman said. Many people learn how to do online business by taking time to study and duplicate what this comprehensive courses teach. Once you know what you are doing, you can choose to stay or leave. I have tried other online courses and seminars and they tell you it's done in a breeze but you try to do what they say and you get stuck. I am very grateful for finding WA. Just like taking any classes, you have to work hard, determine to scale through and before you know it, you're there. I am really amazed at having built a website by myself. Many lecturers in class cannot teach you to understand as well as online WA courses does and this makes them stand out. I have not made money because I am juggling a lot of things but I know I will with time. Most importantly, I have learned a whole lot and I am not the same as when I started.

We are a little different. The 3 Owners are all well educated, professional people. David is a US Naval officer, Keith is a Project Director at NASA and I am a Database Administrator Large Scale. We have been successful through our lives. We have 19 employees. We are members of several groups that are constantly teaching us what is happening now. Our primary business is Consulting, So we have a Bigger Market. We make a part of our income (about 20%) with our online ventures.

We have several Niches that we have expertise in and I have started our own training program that is working well. We are selective in the people that we train. Everyone has made the $500 in the first 60 days. We primarily use PAID TRAFFIC.

To be honest, WA is too small for us. BUT I like Site Rubix. Today is my 2-year anniversary here. I had planned for this to be my last day but WA is so cheap I will stay until our VPS is fully functional

I am amazed that I ever made Ambassador because I don't spend great amounts of time in WA. I basically do the same thing every day. I have little interest in the social parts of WA.

I have found that most people do not share the particulars of whether or how much money they make online. I agree with that. It's better to focus on what you are trying to achieve rather than compare to others.
That being said, many folks have indicated that it can take a while to flesh out your website(s), build up your brand and begin seeing the cash rolling in.
My advice is to think about multiple sources of income when trying to monetize your online activities. As you are building out your site, look at other ideas, such as freelance writing and selling stuff on eBay.
If you have books you no longer want, sell them via online bookbuyers: BookScouter: An additional Stream of Income Keep after it; slow and steady wins the race.

I have 10 referrals but no premiums, but only been here a couple months. I take what I learn and study from others as well just to get a wider knowledge base. I have three sites and make money from one of them which I sell physical items not digital. I test a lot to see how ads work and try other templates and someday I am sure I could write a good ebook with the knowledge I gain. I must say if it were not possible to make money online so many would not be doing it. Do not give up learn more read more know it will happen then one day it will all open up to you.

I raise my hand. I have two blogs here, both of them are geared for making "pay per click" money in Google AdSense.

Although my primary goal is to make "pay per sale" type of income ideally with WA and Amazon, but choosing the niche "make money" sometimes require producing results first before others join you.

Listening to Yaro Starak's lecture, his words have pierced me, "Never blog about making money, if you're not yet making money". Ouch!!

My accumulated earnings with AdSense are now near payout ($100). Once I receive my check, I will take a photo of it and say "Look, I have made this amount of money from AdSense with this blog at WA. Want to earn like this? Join me in WA so you'll also have a blog to use for making money with AdSense".

I've made a little here and there, but nothing significant. I also haven't been diligent about working on my blog. I started off strong doing a post every day. I lost the stamina and do about 2 posts a month.

I think my biggest struggle is the niche I chose. For the most part, I think it just wasn't narrow enough. As I went along, I started to think my niche was a bit broad (small business). I struggled to pick any particular direction until recently. I didn't come about that realization from this program. My awareness came about it through a coaching program I'm in.

A lot of the information here I find useful. I certainly don't regret my yearly membership due. I've gained a wealth of information for less than $400, and I still come back for the keyword tool and to get occasional questions answered. However, I doubt I'll reup for a second year.

I think Affiliate Marketing works for a lot of individuals. However, I'm thinking there's more success in offering my own products and services. I'm learning to do that through the coach training I'm taking.

After being here for about 6 months, my best advice is to choose your niche wisely. You want to go narrow enough that there isn't a lot of competition. However, you don't want to go so narrow that you're only targeting left handed people who write with their toes, but only on Friday the 13 if there's a full moon with fireworks.

A niche is about finding a problem and offering the solution to that problem. Once you know what that is, you'll want to identify your ideal customer. Then you can tailor your articles with your ideal customers in mind... speak to them about that particular problem with a solution. People are googling solutions to their problems.

I would repeat what Michael Kerns said - To be honest with you I haven't turned my focus to any degree in that direction yet. Will eventually. I may have a credit here or there. My main thrust is experiencing the interaction, learning and having fun!

IF your ONLY reason for joining Wealth Affiliate is money, and this is your priority then you may be in the wrong place. There are faster ways to make money.

The WA "family" is much much more that just about money. And you have to be here for a while get the full experience.

Wishing you success in whatever you do.

All the best,

Steve

Certainly can - I have made just over 3k but due to personal circumstances I have not made a penny for the past two months because I have been off line and not working on my site hardly at all but now I am back and just done my first blog for over a month so am hoping things will start again
Hope that helps / paul

Many here are doing well. The percentage of success here at WA is higher than most programs. Often the successful members aren't inside WA much though. They are working on their sites or are out enjoying their earnings.

Stick with this program, you will find it is a valid way to your own success.

Ok I had yet to make a sale until about a month ago. I started in Dec. 2015 and have 2 websites. One is a fishing niche blog. The other is a business blog that among other things, always points back to WA.

I finally made my first sale by getting a referral to Wealthy Affiliate who went premium. They only lasted the 1 month.

BUT!!! After 2.5 months in, I realized that the seo and writing skills I had developed were valuable. I signed up at a site called Upwork, completed my profile, and became a freelance writer.

I made almost a grand my first month doing this. I could have made more but I have a real job, family, etc.

Hope this helps.
