Is Wealthy Affiliate Worth It After 70? My 7-Month Experience
Is Wealthy Affiliate Worth It After 70? My 7-Month Experience
I used to think a lot about my retirement and how I would use my time. But ever since I joined WA in June 2024, I haven’t had time to think about it anymore.
There’s always something new to learn, and with the recent dramatic shifts in search engines—particularly Google—affiliate marketing has become more challenging. We’ve all had to adapt the way we present our sites and content.
Whether these changes are for the better, only time will tell. And no doubt, more changes will come. Sure, I’d love to have some of my past wealth back, but it’s not as important as it once was. As we get older, our needs, visions, and goals evolve. And sometimes, the body doesn’t cooperate if we make plans that are too bold.
WA keeps me busy, and I can choose the areas I want to focus on. I’m happy to say that what I’ve learned here has already led to some reasonable income—enough to cover a few bills. By the end of the year, I expect to have a final count on just how much of an impact it has made.
The key takeaway for me is that even in just months—not years—WA has already proven its worth. I needed to reignite my motivation, and WA has done that. I needed to catch up with technology and modern sales strategies, and WA has done that. Learning to work with social media, making videos, and, most importantly, understanding how to leverage AI—these have been game changers.
Without WA, I doubt I’d be as familiar with AI or be using it as effectively as I am today. There have been bumps in the road—some amusing, at least to my sense of humour—while others have been genuine challenges.
But then there’s the WA community. Some members offer incredible advice, others help keep you focused, and as a whole, the community rallies around to support one another.
To close, Wealthy Affiliate has given me a renewed sense of purpose. What I’ve learned and now apply daily is starting to yield returns. For me, WA is absolutely value for money. And as the old saying goes, “You only get out what you put in.”
Have a great weekend,
Rob

What a great testimonial Rob, full of positivity, a lot of what you say, even though I'm not in your age bracket yet, I agree with and being part of WA is awesome, you have your own business and for the price we pay yearly get access to a heck of a lot of 5 star training, which costs a fortune elsewhere.
Absolutely you get out what you put in.
Have a good weekend.
Thanks for sharing your experience, Rob! It’s inspiring to see how Wealthy Affiliate has brought new motivation and valuable skills, even after 70. Your honesty about the challenges and changes in the industry makes it clear that adaptability is key. It’s great that you’ve found a supportive community and that WA has helped you embrace new tools like AI and social media.
That's so great to hear. I am in the 70+ bracket too. I started back at Wealthy Affiliate three months ago and I am so excited now. Without Wealthy Affiliate I wouldn't have become familiar with AI and I now love learning new things every day and being part of this community.
Look forward to hearing your review at the end of the year. By then, I am planning to be writing a success post myself.

Hi Issabella,
AI puts a new spin on learning, that's for sure. I will write about some of the big mistakes I have come across with AI soon. Especially the ones that were because I wasn't paying attention.

You are right about learning so much here on WA and it all helps us to be able to get the skills to earn money online. I am working on getting enough to add onto my retirement so we can travel. All the best to you with your online endeavors and WA membership.

Hey, Rob, thanks for sharing your experience. In South Sudan, there's no retirement, at least not yet functional. We can serve in the government and military as long as we can.
But retirement is a good time to focus on what truly matters, if one have the ability, time, and resources needed. WA is such a system for such a time, I think. It's worth it 😜
Love your style of storytelling!
