Impressions after the first three days of training

Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

I have been working my way through the training for three days now and already feel so much more confident that this could really work. Before coming to WA I had considered various ways of running a business/franchise, working from home as a remote employee, direct sales of skin care products...but there was nothing that I truly felt was me, nothing that I could see myself doing with passion. I was also really paranoid of scams, me investing my time and money in something that would leave me worse off in the end than before. I discovered WA while checking out reviews on another business opportunity, checked up on it and tentatively signed up with a free account - as there really was nothing to lose in trying - but I was still sceptical. And now after three days I understand already so much more how affiliate marketing actually works! I had no idea how many affiliate programs there are, how many companies offer this opportunity! I was mildly aware of Amazon and Google Ad, thinking only YouTubers with a million subscribers could make any profit on that, but I did not know how much more there is.

It seems very plausible now and I see that it is genuine honest work, not a promise to get rich over night by barely putting in a few minutes a day. I can see that I can make this work, it might take me some time -my kids have decided to sleep even less since I'm doing this :-) but I am determined, I believe in it and I am really enjoying it. I feel surrounded by friendly, helpful people and I can't wait to be more knowledgable to be able to pass on this knowledge and excitement to other people.
