Poor Students Read This!
Often we have new members on chat who are students and they are looking for money. They don't want to wait forever to get it, either. With the tremendous debt load and the high cost of going to college, who can blame them?
The cost of college to me was always a burden, I always worked as many hours in the week as I could and in the summer, I doubled up like a bear preparing for winter, to get money for the coming school year. I was married with a child and I was paying medical bills as well as education bills. My GI bill ran out for the last year and a half so I was on my own. In the summer I worked 13 hours 7 days a week.
New members here see the tuition, and although it is lower than that for a college course, it is a lot of money to a student. My advice to new members is not to pay it until you are able too. By that, I mean that once you have taken the free training, set up your two free sites, and you are making some income, then join as a Premium member. The exception would be where you can get grandpa to pay for the first year of tuition. I always pay annually because of the great savings.
I pay my annual dues by promoting WA and JAAXY. That seem to always pay it several times over. But commissions can come in from other affiliate programs. See Veronica's 6 Ways to Make Money from Your Blog:

But first, take Kyle's Certification Course (free):

Finding a niche is always a pain, so use ubersugest.org, DMOS, eBay and Amazon and then use JAAXY for your 30 free searches to test out the keywords you have found.
Take your time, but allocate a block of time each day. You will make steady progress. Then you should obtain a degree of success to help you, not only pay your annual tuition at WA, but to help pay your college expenses,
Remember that Kyle and Carson and many others have paid their college expenses working on the Internet.

Thanks for this great advice. Even though I am not a student I really appreciate it. I had to put myself through medical school and now my son is studying. I know all about the struggles. I have been her since July and still need to find a way to make my first money on the internet.Slowly my website is coming together. until very recently, i still thought I would have to ask someone else to do it for me.
great advice(as always) for students. Thank you for all that you share on a daily basis.
Such good advice for students. Not bad for the senior set either. What especially makes this a "go-to" article is the way you made it REAL by telling us about yourself and your hard times. ( Have we been teaching the newbies that people identify with and like you when you have had problems with which they can identify?) This vast experience of yours is most helpful!
My son has five kids and we are still paying off his student loans. All my grandkids have to work while attending college despite help from their parents, etc. It is not easy to get an education and after you get it, it may not end up all it is cracked up to be. Sorry situation. I always told my kids to do something that is hard to do to cut down the competition, to do something that helps others, and to do something they like to do so they don't get bored with it. It has worked out. four are in medicine. The one struggling the most is the attorney trying to pay off his student loans. Thanks, Patty! John
So True Shields! I wanted to cut and paste this on my board, but I save it and can point it out to other to read!
FAB!

Hi, just budding in here again, because I would really like my daughter to start this, and they could reach their age base. My girlfriend came over and she is a teacher, she was full of ideas! She also a lefty, she claims too that helps. So she came up with like 5 sites, already! And that was in 20 minutes of being here. So, I am hoping my one or more daughters or maybe hers will be on the PC to start their future, instead of all those games and sometimes drama...

Thanks for the post and it's definitely true. While i know the course is worth it, to a student like me it's a little tough to pay the tuition even though it's at a great price; it's just tough, great advice.
I was pointing at you, wasn't I. LOL John
You could just take advantage of the free membership in the meantime. That gives you all the tools to build a foundation and after that you can still decide if you want to go premium.no pressure for any tuition fees until you can really afford it. Who knows, maybe you find yourself wanting to promote WA and make money doing that. Time will tell! just start!
