Wealthy Affiliate Will Never Earn You Money

Did that title get your attention? Good. Now let me start by saying that Wealthy Affiliate is a brilliant resource, even if you're only able to have a starter account. The free training is amazing, the community is great, and the two free websites are better than anything else you'll get for free (try going back to an average free wordpress blog). Now that being said, I noticed that I tend to see a fair amount of people asking (in chat and on their profiles), "Does this work?" "Can I really make money from this?" and similar questions, and I just want to say.

No, Wealthy Affiliate alone will not earn you a single cent.

Wealthy Affiliate University is not a machine that, once you pay your premium fees, will start earning you money. It is exactly what it says on the tin, a university. If you go to a university for a mechanical engineering degree, you will not immediately start earning money once you have that degree. You have to find a job that wants that degree, and start WORKING! You'll use the knowledge you learned in college and make money like that. The degree does not immediately earn you money, rather, it gives you the knowledge and the resources you require to make money. It is entirely up to you to take action.

And that is what I think it comes down to, action.

Wealthy Affiliate University offers you training, a community to help, and even free sites to help launch your business. This is more than any other community or forum I've ever seen online offer. But you have to remember that without using this knowledge, without taking action, you will not earn a single dime. Even when you pay for a premium account, you still require action in order to truly capitalize on your investment. So, if your question is

"Does this work?"

It depends on what you mean by 'this'. If by 'this', you mean "Will this community truly help me reach my goals of launching a successful online business? Can the training show me how to set up a website and earn revenue?" Then the answer is a resounding yes!

But if your definition of 'this' is, "If I buy a premium account, will I immediately start earning money?" or the just as bad, "Will the training tell me what niche I should do, and then tell me exactly what type of content I should post?" Then the answer is no, Wealthy Affiliate gives you the tools you need, and even shows you how to use those tools. But, it is up to you to decide when to use them, and even what to use them on. The community is happy to help as much as we can.

For example, if you like fitness, the community is more than happy to explain that, fitness alone is a tad bit broad, so maybe focus on a specific diet? Or workout regime? We will help explain our experiences so that you can be successful, but we won't say, "You NEED to do this part of a fitness niche, and then set up a website using this exact theme, and then write this content, and then this one, and so on." We can give you all the suggestions and points in the right direction you require, but in the end, it is up to you take action.

So, a quick recap, if you're looking for training, classes, and resources to help you learn how to make money online, then Wealthy Affiliate is THE perfect choice. But, if you're looking for an effortless way to make money, which requires little to no work on your part, I'd suggest that you keep looking (and let me know when you find it. I'd love an effortless way to make money!).

Also, let me know when you find the effortless way to make money...it does not exist. That is called the lottery and it is luck, not skill that leads to that.

Fortunately for everyone here that "gets it", success can and will be created. Sure it does take hard work, but working hard towards something can be fun and will not feel like work if you enjoy what you are doing.

There are too many people that would rather buy into "quick" fixes just to feed their "shiny object syndrome". These folks will never achieve success because they are looking for something that doesn't exist...instant and easy success.

One thing I can tell you though, is that success is possible and it is created on the Internet much easier and more efficiently than any other type of business.

Excellent post!

Agreed, and playing the lottery nearly always makes you the loser. I actually think I prefer creating my own success, even if it takes longer and is more difficult, it stills gives you a great feeling that it was YOUR work that gave you success, not a fluke or a bit of luck.

And the best part, is that when you understand how to create success...you never have to worry about it again. Yes, you may fail at some point, but you will always know how to recreate that success. :)

Great post, superb message, and very true. Well done,

Thanks Hudson. I think it was just something that needed to be said.
