The History of Wealthy Affiliate

Founded in 2005 by Kyle Loudoun and Carson Lim, Wealthy Affiliate started as a simple keyword list service. Today, itโ€™s a full digital marketing platform with tools, training, and a global community.

From a few hundred users in the beginning to now over 1.5 million entrepreneurs worldwide . Its growth has been incredible.

Inside Wealthy Affiliate โ€“ Key Features

Hereโ€™s what you get inside Wealthy Affiliate:

1. Step-by-Step Training

Whether you're a total beginner or experienced, youโ€™ll find lessons tailored to your level โ€” from choosing a niche to ranking your website on Google.

2. Website Builder & Hosting

You can build your website in minutes using SiteRubix, with secure and fast hosting included. No tech skills needed!

3. Keyword Research Tool

Their built-in tool helps you find powerful keywords to bring traffic to your blog posts and reviews.

4. Community Support

Live chat, helpful 1-on-1 coaching, private messaging โ€” youโ€™re never alone. The WA community is always ready to help.

5. Extra Tools

From content writing and keyword research, these tools help you create, manage, and grow your site โ€” all in one place.


Free vs Premium Membership

Wealthy Affiliate has two main plans:

โœ… Free Starter Membership

You get basic training, a siterubix website, and limited access โ€” great for testing the waters.

๐Ÿš€ Premium Membership

You unlock everything โ€” all training, full hosting, support, keyword tools, and community features.


Think of the free plan as a sneak peek, and Premium as the full experience. Your choice depends on how serious you are about growing your online business.


Pros and Cons โ€“ Is Wealthy Affiliate Worth It?

Hereโ€™s a quick breakdown of whatโ€™s great โ€” and whatโ€™s not so great โ€” about Wealthy Affiliate:

๐Ÿ‘ Pros

  • High-quality, up-to-date training
  • Friendly and helpful community
  • All tools in one place
  • Ideal for beginners
  • Regular updates and live classes


๐Ÿ‘Ž Cons

  • Premium pricing might be high for some
  • Lots of content can feel overwhelming
  • Occasional upgrade suggestions

So, is it worth it? It depends on your goals and budget. But for many, the value is clear โ€” especially if you commit to learning and applying whatโ€™s taught.


Real User Experiences

Many members say Wealthy Affiliate helped them go from confused beginners to confident website owners.

They love the step-by-step approach and strong support system. But some mention feeling overwhelmed at first, or frustrated by the time it takes to see results.

Every journey is different โ€” your success depends on your effort, consistency, and willingness to learn.


How Does WA Compare to Other Platforms?

Compared to platforms like ClickFunnels or Udemy, Wealthy Affiliate stands out for its all-in-one approach and community support.

ClickFunnels focuses on sales funnels. Udemy has many one-off courses, but no long-term community or website support. WA is built specifically for affiliate marketers โ€” from start to finish.


FAQs โ€“ What Beginners Often Ask

Q: Is WA good for beginners?

Yes! Itโ€™s built for people with no experience.

Q: Can I really make money with Wealthy Affiliate?

Yes, but not overnight. It takes time and effort, like any real business.

Q: What if I just want to try it out?

Start with the Free Starter Membership โ€” no credit card needed!

โœ… If youโ€™re looking for clear training, tools, and support in one place...

โœ… If youโ€™re serious about building an online business...

โœ… And if you enjoy learning with others...

Then yes โ€” Wealthy Affiliate might be the right fit for you.

But remember: itโ€™s not a get-rich-quick scheme. Itโ€™s a place to build something real.

Start free, explore the platform, and see if it matches your goals.

Wealthy Affiliate is totally worth it. I upgraded a day or two after my starter membership. That was four years ago. This is better than going to a politically charged university. And less expensive too.

I did the same, Jarielyn. Wealthy Affiliate offers a valuable education and community, presenting a potentially more affordable and less politically divisive alternative to a traditional university.

Wealthy Affiliates IS worth it. MAC.

I absolutely agree with you, Mac. Thanks for sharing.

We are already within the WA community, so you are clearly publishing this to be seen on Google and get more referrals.

As far as I am aware, free members only get one siterubix website, not 'a couple' and we don't have a Forum. These are just two immediate inaccuracies I have notices.

Thanks. Appreciate your comments. I wrote it for new commers here.

They have already joined, so they don't need a 'should you join?'

Free trial member? They might be standing at the crossroad of joining premium membership.

Great post, Paul.

Ah, thanks Paul for the features. I thought the WA has over 3M users by July 2025 because when a new member joins, they rank at either 2.9M or just 3M, before they take actions that push them up the ranking system ladder.

I believe this article will appear on Google search and it can be a goldmine for you, driving traffic to your WA affiliate link.

I believe that's why Paul published it - we here are already members, so he published it so it will show up on Google.

Yeah, sure. Thanks again for the reassurance!

Thanks for the comment.
You and @internetgranny are worrying so much about your goldmine with Google. ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†

You've missed the point.

I think we should, shouldn't we? Isn't the reason why we invest time and money into the WA, to have visitors after creating the content? Help me understand why one shouldn't worry, or at least mind about it, Paul.

John

Keep mining and discovering more gold. The opportunity to mine is endless.

Thanks, Paul.
We have to.

370 new visitors now in the last 28 days, over 700 in the last 90 days, over 50K impressions on Google, I think that's some good data there.

John

You're making great progress, John. Traffic is what we want to see at the end of the day. You must be impressed with the increasing impressions meaning your contents are appearing on search engines.

Keep it up, John.

Paul.

Thanks a lot, Paul.
It's encouraging!
