Thank you Ian for inviting me to WA. So far it looks like a very good learning tool. Like many others I almost invested in bogus programs. I am in Real Estate now, but I want to be able to create multiple long term streams of income for my family and hopefully this will help me.

Hi Ian, hope you are fine, I'm starting to make my firts steps on WA, Counse 1, lesson 4, Create a Website, but I have a doubt, I saw you got your own website platform to do that, what I think if very good, but I already got my own Cpanel on hostgator, and I would like to know which you recommend to me use in order to get the best results with the WA course.

Hi Pribs
I am looking to have a mentor to help me throughout every section of this WA journey and am asking you would be willing to be that for me. At the moment I am doing Course 1 in Lesson 9.
Im a 21 year old South African University student. In the past two years I have managed to save 75$ which in my country is a lot of money. This is all the money I have. Theres very little chance of me getting anymore money. I plan on joining the group as a premium member on my 5th day of my free trial and here is where my problem lies... With the money that I have accumulated I will be able to pay the 47$ fee on the second month since there will be enough left in my card for it. I am desperate to know if you think I will be able to make enough money off the website I am in the process of making to pay that fee because I am very invested in the program emotionally and financially. Is this goal achievable if Im dedicating 3 hours everyday to working on this craft?
My plan is to make enough money to survive every months membership fee at the moment.
Please reply to this message.

Your advice and perspective will be very much appreciated
Thank you

your blog is what convinced me to give join. just read your suggested guidelines to give it a year and a minimum of 10 hours per week. took me a few days to even open the email...such a slacker here :-). thank you for the distraction of something to focus on - keeps me out of depression.

Hi, sorry to being a pain, but I'm having trouble with SEO and title and description, every time I activate it doesn't, it starts to download and stops and each time I go back in I have re type the title and description, it just won't down load I gone over the information again, I'm doing something wrong or I've missed something
Cheers Tracy

Hey Pribs wondering if you could help me with a question,

If you have a site with siterubix and it is ranking well on google and getting decent traffic/sales do you know exactly how switching to a purchased domain (I'm considering ".com") would effect the sites google ranking and traffic? This is all theoretical as I have not yet created a site with siterubix, I ask because I would rather purchase a ".com" domain from the start than have to transfer a siterubix site to a purchased domain in the future if it will cause a big headache. If it wont effect the rank and traffic significantly or the google ranking and traffic would essentially remain the same after being indexed again by google, then I would prefer to start with a siterubix site and switch to a purchased domain later down the road.

Thanks in advance, I appreciate your help!

Hi Pribs! You can call me Jenny. I have been "trying" to make money through the internet for many years. My husband calls it my hobbies that just suck money from my bank account. I will be holding you to your promise of helping me actually make this not a "hobby" anymore!
Looking forward to learning and eventually teaching others to do the same!

Hi Ian:
I have followed your NO MORE BS Reviews and I was very impressed. Delighted to find that we are both WA members. I have just completed reading your posts and I will certainly take advantage of your offer of assistance. Keep up the great work. Your words of encouragement have me believing again.
Thanks
Doug

Hi Ian, thank you for your email. That's when I decided I was with the right team. I am so excited about my future and I will appreciate any help I can get!
When I listened to finding your niche, it was very broad, but I logged on anyway & I instantly thought of PRODUCTS, I'm interested in. Am I on the right track. It's important to get right from the start, ha

Hi Ian,

I must say I thoroughly enjoyed your review video of the members area. It is great that so much help is available.

I have tried network marketing before but it is so dependant on the efforts of others.

I can build a business here with the help of others in a completely different way.

Looking forward to the journey.

Hi Pribs.I have been following the tutorials step by step but still a little confused.I am starting to understand the concept of niches and promoting other peoples products and the various methods.I am not sure how payment works though.Eg Say i promote a product for $50.How do i know or see if the customer has bought it?Eg i put a product on a advertising site 3 days ago and it got 600 views but i dont know how to check if anybody bought it..How do i track if a view became a sale?If and when i get a sale of the $50 who gets what.Me $10 ?WA$30? Seller$20?Frustrating when you get views but no sale

Hi Pribs,
I am looking for like minded people on eBusiness. I am not looking to become an affiliate of yours (WealthyAffiliate) at this point.

How much support and help for other ventures can I expect here? I am doing FBA and other alibaba based businesses, running a shopify store, etc.

Thanks,
Jurg

Hi Ian, quick question

I have bought a domain and decided on my niche, which is chemical engineering resources for college students. The website was going to have lessons on chemical engineering topics and some textbook/online course reviews. But as I look at the keywords for this niche, it seems like there really aren't many people looking for this information at all. The average monthly traffic is 20 or 30 searches per month on these keywords. I'm thinking about switching to another niche. I'm trying to avoid the 'sunk cost fallacy' mentality and jump ship before I spend any more time on it. What would you suggest?

Greetings Ian!

You gave such a warm welcome to someone who just went Premium, so I decided to "follow".

I came to Wealthy Affiliate just 4 months ago, and that was my first introduction to affiliate marketing. I saw the word "overwhelming" used quite often when I first started, and felt it countless times. But the training and connection with the people here, has really maintained my sanity, lol.

Looking forward to becoming part of your network Ian.

Veronica

Good morning Ian, well just to let you know I am starting early on my 2017 goal of starting the online marketing business I am in the middle of making my first website. As we have talked before, I have quit my job and plan on making this my full time job but I have decided to drive for Uber and Lyft to have a little extra spending money. I have been driving for about 3 months and really like it. I have decided to make my first website about driving with them and how to make bonus money with them. Just sending you an update on how thing are going. Tim

Thanks so much for sharing all of your insight into your websites and helping us here at WA. I am thoroughly enjoying the community and learning so much. I appreciate the links you have provided to some of your own websites, as this helps me to see ways I can design my own. i would also love to see my 17 year old son get into this. Thanks again!!

Hey Pribs,

I'm here as another one of your referrals. Just popped by to say hi and introduce myself.

I have some past experience with affiliate/internet marketing, but if anything, I've always been too sceptical of schemes and never really jumped into anything. I'm fortunate not to have been burned, but I've also never really succeeded.Hopefully I can change that now!

I visited your Stopping Scams site which I thought was great and a nice approach, and that finally brought me here. Usually that might have been the end, but with a bit of research and digging I figured WA sounded like a good community and worth a shot, so I'm looking forward to getting going.

Cheers,
Dan

Hello Pribs. I joined WA yesterday after signing up through you link to the Black Friday Offer. Thank you for mailing me about that offer :-) After finishing the sign-up process, I was directed to a welcome page inside WA with a video, a letter to read and some questions to answer about goals (I think?). But that side dissapeared upon reloading, and I can't find it anymore. 1) Can you lead me to that site? 2) Also, I got a message saying, that there was a problem with the registration/paying proces, and that I therefore was not let in to WA. But here I am, so I don't know if there is a problem or not? Can you help me? Thanks. Joergen

Hi Ian

Just joined WA via your link. I am unsure if WA is going to be for me, maybe you can help. Whilst I have not entirely discounted an affiliate website, my thoughts are I want to create my own content and possibly courses. Being new to IM and at risk of sounding a little dim (!), is this really only for affiliate websites, or would it be be a good place to learn generally about content marketing. I seem to be doing nothing but watching various videos on various sites and feel like I am getting nowhere fast. Should I actually be looking at another community which specialises in content marketing?

Cheers

Steve

Thank you for the welcome message! This is my first night setting up and account and I'm coming to you with a hopeful mindset. I'm a single mom with full custody of two wonderful children. I work full-time as a public librarian. I have my hands full, but I have a strong desire to build a wonderful future for me and my children-that includes lots of travel. I am very new to all of this and have zero experience, but willing to learn. Thanks.

Thanks for the follow! Thought I'd just like to mention that I admire you for taking a stand against scams in the industry. I tried to become a successful affiliate marketer in my late teens, but never have I ever found a site as good as Wealthy Affiliate. The others sites I tried provided poor information and in hindsight were trying to make a quick buck. I lost hope for some time, but I gotta say that it's refreshing to see someone with good intentions that actually offers to help those trying to get off their feet. I commend you greatly on doing that. I have a lot of reading to do, but I feel like this is a start of a journey for me that'll lead to something great. I'm excited for what the future holds!

Hi Ian, thank you for dropping a kind message. Loving the training course 1 and i can't wait to be a premium once i settled my payment issue.
I'm actually interested with A.Bootcamp but have decided to put aside first because i believe we need at least have decent internet marketing earning experiences to truly promote with original & unbiased contents. Your blog really highlighted this part very clearly.Thank you!

Hi Pribs, I truly appreciate your useful and honest info from both the welcome message and your website stoppingscams,com. That is the reason why i joined here through your link.

It is too bad i am unable to upgrade to premium within 7 days to receive your special bonus due to payment issue but still glad that i'm learning already.

Anyway thanks for sharing your knowledge and wish you all the best!

Hi Pribs! What if I make affiliate link shorter through Google URL shortener? Will it work? Sometimes this short link has another letters from the same page in WA, but the image of that page appears the same in all cases after the link is placed.
If my referral sets up 100% account but instead of photo he makes image of something, does it has a difference for credit?
I see that I earned 2 credits for completing 100% profile, but in 'Revenue' I see '0'. If I have chosen min. threshold $10, will I see in 'Revenue' $1 in November,1? On my PAYPALL account, as I suppose,the first sum will appear only after I reach $10 and at the first of the month. Am I right?

Hey Pribs,

Just a question for you, if I will to upgrade to a Premium account. For the domain, and hosting wise, will I be able to gain access to unlimited and free domain name, and hosting as long as I am a premium member?

The reason why I asked this is because I wouldn't be just using the domains, and hosting purely for affiliate marketing business. I will need to use those resources on creating my own blog for my own coaching business which is something that I'm putting my 200% into now.

Cheers,

Yi Shen

Hi Pribs, I'm Joseph from the Philippines. I apologize if my English is rough. I'd like you to know that I'm very determined to do everything to reach my financial goal. Well my real goal is to gain "wisdom" and "knowledge" because I believe that having those two is the most important thing to earn enormous amount of money. For me, I can earn money using my wisdom but I can't buy wisdom because I don't have money right now. so "wisdom" is my main thing here. I lost my old man when I was 16 and raised in a very poor community. My Dad died with hundreds of dollars to pay and left nothing to us. But it didn't stop me to pursue my goal. I graduated high school with the help of my relatives even I'm 4 years older to my classmates. After graduation I tried to apply to several call centers here in Manila and unfortunately failed 8 times during "INITIAL" interview. That was because my grammar wasn't good and I don't have experience that time. Now I'm working as a "customer service rep." for almost 4 years now and I highly believe that was because of my "determination" and "burning desire" to achieve my goals in life. 3 years ago, I always say that " I'll become rich someday" but didn't know what to do or how. But because of the thing I call "law of attraction" I believe my subconscious mind wavelength reached the right wavelength of ways to getting rich. I have many plans to execute to become rich and this affiliate marketing or online business is just 1 of my stepping stone. I created and formulate principles of my own to have a "happy life" or "reach your goal" techniques and these are all based from what I learn from the internet, books, seminars and mentors around the World. I called my principles "The 4 pillars". These four pillars are "Spiritual health", "Emotional health", "Mental health" and "Physical health". This is like a training or guide for people who wants to achieve goal or currently experiencing problems in life. I highly believe that before you begin your journey to achieve or start any goal weather big or small, you need to have a strong four pillars for future problems and managing yourself in any circumstances or decision that you will make like for example "quitting and changing your goal". Many people started what they want and when they encounter problems like "serious problems" they quit easily because they have very weak "Spiritual belief" in themselves. Sometimes they are too "Emotional" on the things they wanted to have or needed to have. They are very scared to take risk because they don't know what to do or to invest their money on something and the reason is lack of "Mental knowledge", for me the person is the one who is risky not the investment and that is because once you know and have proper information about on something the risk will get low. And the reason they have weak spiritual and emotional health is because of having a weak "Physical health" or lack of exercise and proper nutrients. Yoga helps our emotions to be positive and also good for our body. Eating healthy food will boost our immunity and provides essential nutrients to our mind. Now that I discover your courses and your website, I'm very happy to learn from you guys. My wavelength matches yours and that is something for me not coincidence or destiny. I created my own World and will continue to have good things inside of it. Guys like you are very blessed with gifts and believe me, you will achieve your goals and YOU WILL HAVE A HAPPY PERFECT LIFE.

-Joseph

I'll go to your NoMoreBSReviews.com sites because I am is interesting.

I have a question, there is any dictionary for marketing in WA? Even when everything is clear in WA, I believe that since I am very, very new to this a dictionary would help me to enrich my learning process.

Hey Ian,
I just found you:)
Actually I get to know about WA from a comment in one of your website that I came to while searching a feedback on One of IM programs.

I have searched and joined here without getting a referral link, but I should give you credit for that.

Keep that awesome work bro.

Hey, Ian! What is the difference between http://siterubix.com and my own paid domain? I see that many names in http://siterubix.com are available which are not available in paid domains. Why is this! If I choose free http://siterubix.com I probably need to use one word name because it will be too long with additional siterubix. Will it affect on ranking in Google if I choose siterubix or my own domain?

Hello Ian,
My name is Lana. I was a marketing manager for many years. But I have absolutely NO knowledge in internet marketing. I trust you and I believe this business is good fit for me. So I'm going to stick to all your advises and we will see. Thank you.

Hi Ian,
I would love to hear more about your progress in this program. I have tried to find legit websites so many times that I look at each one as a scam or too good to be true. I'm always hesitate about spending money to make money, especially when its online because you never know where that information is ACTUALLY going. Please let me know more about your experience with Wealthy Affiliate.

Ok, I need a little more help here Ian. I'm stuck, and I've completed Phase 1, and I'm anxious to move to lesson 2 of Phase 2 training, but I can't get my template to cooperate.... and I think it's the wrong template to begin with as it appears to only have 2 menu items "Primary" and "Social Media".

Will you please help me choose an appropriate WP template that will support page & or blog additions... more menu item potential. I will be adding content almost on a daily basis for the next month. Like I said, I think the template is half the problem, and not sure how to how to change templates efficiently even if I had an appropriate template

Thanks,

Ted

Grateful that you took time and email me about the Consulting Accelerator fiasco, no way a program can be almost 2000$, beginning today on the Get Started, hope i can get my niche right (at first glance that's the thing that i struggle the most).

I almost gave up on IM because all i could see were scam artist, thank you for the opportunity to get educated and a willing community for growth.

Hey Ian,
I was led to your online review of another person's program, and I'm very happy that I read it and that I'm here! I am excited to look at the Get Started info to see if this is a good match for me. I'm really hoping it is! You really seem to be an honest person, and that's the type of person I want to be dealing with.

Thanks!
Cindy

I'm trying to get a response,but nothing yet from Kyle or anybody.... I need to assign my DNS to my domain so I can get going with WP. Not sure the diff between author and domain.... Anyway, my perceived problem is that I've already signed up for multi site hosting at Siteground incl. Hacker protection deal totaling $107, so I would like the straight story on whether there is even any difference between siteGround and WA Hosting. I don't want to be involuntarily connected WA. If not, should I be able to get a refund from SiteGround?... purchased 8-24.

Hello Pribs. Will you answer me please. I think you are my sponsor. If not can you let me know who is because they might want to help me. Thank you. I only have a day to go and I am not sure if anyone would answer me anyway if I became Premium because so far they haven't.Thanks Rhonda

Ian, hi! I want to ask about affiliate program. If I will refer someone to WA, and that person decides to pay $47 each month( not yearly subscription), will I get commission each month? If I am in premium, I will get $1 once after he sets up his account, then $8 (first month), then $22 each month if he continues to pay. Do I
understand it right way?

Hy Ian! I just wanted to come by to say thanks for the welcome message. I really appreciate your honest reviews and the obvious effort you put into it. Iam really new to Im and looking forward to learn a lot and get to know some awesome people.

Best Regards

Stefan

Hi again Ian,

I have a little knowledge of Internet marketing, wouldn't say to a great level mind, more the basics, haha.

Would like to ask a quick question.

What courses would you recommend starting with going back as being a new starter and learning fresh?

Would kindly appreciate your help

Thanks in advance

Andy

Hi Ian.

Many thanks for my referal from one of your YouTube reviews, also thank you for your kind message upon joining.

Hopefully I can learn alot here with time and effort and have some success further down the road.

Fingers crossed that here at Wealthy Affiliates I have finally found a great place to learn and hopefully succeed, but make great friends along the way.

Many thanks again!

Andy
:-)

Because you are an honest person I need the reality of WA program

1.- How long I need after finishing my boot camping course to make money, at least $1,000/month? I know that every person is different but I need an idea based on your experience and the other experiences.This question is important for me because I need recommend WA to the people.

Yes Pribs I need your help.

I created a blog called "Jobs For Unemployed People" and the themes are:

1) Jobs For Disable People
2) Jobs For Retired People
3) Recent Graduate Jobs

But I want to promote the WA program. How can I promote WA talking about jobs for disable people. Please give me some ideas

Hi Ian, I found my way here thanks to your site's quite objective review of Anik Singal's rather pricey training.

I'm happy to be here and am already busy figuring out how to best use the site. Of course, that DOES involve upgrading to Premium right away!! Hey, I can pay for a LOT of months of premium before I will have hit the $1500 that I would have paid Anik up front.

Thanks for the review and the option to try something without whipping out the credit card.

I'm excited to get going!!

Sherry

Hi Pribs, We haven't talked in a while so , I figured I'd say or scream HELP ! I'm stumped !
My home page is going to be a single page with links to my affiliate sites ( 2 to start ) with 1 retail link ( @ shopify) Do I have to build a website for each site including my homepage or can I combine them as one?
I'm going to put my homepage on Facebook with the links to all my money pages as well as WA. I want to make the homepage as easy as possible for visitors to navigate but make them curious to want to visit the links. Any suggestion ?
Thank you in advance Willmar
ps. willmarpromotions.com will be my site soon

Howdy Ian,

I was looking for a review on Traffic Brokers as it was sounding pretty shoddy to me and I stumbled upon your review. That's what brought me here.

I'm an university student who found himself spending too much online without having any income. And so I thought: If I spend it online, why not earn ir online? And this is how my journey into here began.

Now it's time to roll up my sleeves and break some eggs!

Hi Ian,
I'm Victor.
Read one of your review and got led here.
I've tried internet marketing a few years back.
Paid for online courses. Set up website. Set up blog. Paying for some ads. Wrote a few blogs. That's about it.

One of the reasons I stopped is the thought of consistently dumping a sum of money on affiliate memberships and paid ads without knowing when I can actually start seeing results. After just a few months of doubting I pulled back.

I did try to do it the 'free' way, except for the cost of webhosting. I tried writing blogs, but then couldn't do it consistently as doubt sets in, thinking this might take forever if I can't tell whether I'm doing it right or not.

Another reason is I felt overwhelmed, some pricey affiliate membership (at least to me) offer a lot of contents, seeing their community's energy, I felt that their way to success is through massive MASSIVE actions and massive MASSIVE money on driving traffic, buying ads. I backed away. I feel like I'm more comfortable being a quiet stream than the Niagara falls.

Above are some of my stumbling blocks.

I never stopped thinking of internet marketing as my way out to freedom. But I've stopped taking action. Still every night I'm losing sleep surfing the internet for hours aimlessly which I could have put to good use if I have a clear direction.

Ian, could you offer me some insights?

Aside from webhosting cost, If I were to choose a path of internet marketing which requires the least monthly cash investment like paid ads or paid traffic (if that even exists...). How much is the least that one have to invest monthly to start building something that will generate results like say, 6 months - 1 year (as suggested in the Day 1 lesson)? Would you have a figure on that? Which path would that be?
Like a business, I prefer to know the expected 'overhead' before I venture into it.

My experience with some affiliate programs is after joining, I was told to invest into paid ads, invest into driving traffic. I don't mind investing more, but spending more and more and more money without knowing the 'bottom' freaks me out.

If you could help me with the question above.

Thank you Ian.

I am at the crossroads, I have completed the course in 2 days and my site is complete, It is now on to the next step, going premium! I really need to talk to you about a few things that I am having to make a decision on. When you need help you go to those with success. I need to find my wallet now. :)

You're free 'How To Build A 5-Figure Monthly Income Using Local SEO' course was amazing. The icing on the cake was to realise you are part of this community. Local SEO is where I want to go as a career. The more I read about it, the more I love the idea of doing this work for the small businesses in the region I grew up in. Really happy to find you in here! Cheers, DC
