Research into wealthy affiliate

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

This is a blog I wrote for my website and I decided to share it with the community because I feel WA is such a terrific place to be to learn to make money online and a community that is more then friendly and helpful. I was researching WA because I could not actually work on my site on the computer I was on and I found an interesting site with Pros and Cons of making money online.

Pros and they come from people like me who belong to it. The few cons I found were very interesting and most of them dated a few years back and there were only a few of those. It seems, according to this one gentlemen’s rant and I will call it a rant because it was. He was most upset because he knew all this stuff but signed up for the FREE part of WA and then he was mad because he knew the stuff already. He did not want to sign up for the premium because he did not want to spend the money but he wanted the service anyway. He was mad because he did not like the answer to some of his questions and got rude with the people answering and then he got cut off by one of the owners. Now he was really mad. To me, from reading his rant, he was rude and knew it all so why sign up in the first place? He got a FREE website and FREE training (that he said he did not need but it was FREE) and he did not want to pay and he did not have to but he was still mad and wrote a scathing piece on how this is a scam. My question is how can it be a scam, when it is FREE, you don’t ever have to go Premium if you don’t want to and no one makes you—you still get the website and the beginning training, they spell it all out up front. Work hard, build your business from the ground up any way you want, you do not have to promote WA if you do not want, they teach you about Affiliate Marketing for those of us WHO DO NOT KNOW. What more do you want? The cost might be a little more than other sites to host but I know from experience they do not give you the on-going training that you get here or the group of people who are more than willing to answer your questions and give great feedback.
