You have found the gem you crave, I can assure you of that. But instead of me doing this, I would rather you immerse yourself here and find out for yourself (and come up with your own conclusion).

Head through the training, take action on the tasks, ask for help when you need it...I know you are going to love it here Phillip. :)

I would suggest you create your website focusing on just ONE language. When you try to translate your content (translators do a horrible job of this as they are far too literal), you take away from the overall site quality.

When you create an "additional" website, you create double the work for yourself without knowing if the campaign is going to be successful or not.

Both of these will lead to much more work and a lot less focus. Focus on one language or the other when starting out Ioannis, once you are successful with one you could diversify down the road and build out a second website and create a translated version of your website for an additional revenue stream.

Thanks Kyle. Will do.

Sounds good!

Excellent to hear, and being your boss is an immediate reality within the online world. You are going to learn how to properly build a business here at WA, everything you need is included. Keep us updated with your progress moving forward. :)

It is only natural to be a little bit skeptical, but now that you have found Wealthy Affiliate you are definitely going to be part of a community that cares, as well as the most comprehensive/advanced platform in the space for building a business online.

I really look forward to working with you. :)

Thanks kyle. Really look foward to working with you as well and the rest of the team

Most definitely!

Have through the training to take action on that, it will walk you through the process and get you taking action (which will lead you to building a business). By lesson 4 alone, you are going to have your very own niche website up and running which is the foundation for your business!

If you need a hand with anything at all as you move forward through the training, please ask. :)

Rhino Bhiray,

I am relatively new here too but want you to know this is clearly a very well developed program where you get all the help you need to find your way.

Please do drop me a note if I can lend a hand to you as you go.

FYI my own website is www.imaginepeaceandplenty.com

Friendly Regards,
Chris

You can simply upload a photo from your computer, that will work just fine. You don't have to upload a photo from Facebook, it will give you the option. ;)

It is so wonderful to have you back here at wealthy affiliate Michael! I am sure a lot has changed, as we continued to evolve with each day that passes and we have some really big updates coming in 2018 (with probably our biggest improvements every coming next month).

If you need anything as you jump back into the training platform here, please let us know. Do You have a community of help here, myself included. :)

There's no need to be nervous at all, you are going to get the hang of things as you move through the training. We all started out as complete newbies within the online world (or anything for that matter), and you have access to the most comprehensive, advanced, supportive, and cost efficient platform in the world for creating and growing a business online.

If you ever need a hand with anything at all, please ask. ;)

Hi Naominegron, I just put my googles on and took the plunge. I will be Lasspongegirl Absorbing as much as I possibly can. I wish you great success. : )

No problem, you can update your description as you like and it will evolve likely with time. I typically update mine every 3-4 months. ;)

No problem, great to have you here. If you had a coach on the way in, they would have reached out. But we are a community of help here, so you have direct access to me or anyone else here if you ever need a hand with anything at all moving forward. ;)

Excellent to hear, so glad you are enjoying your experience here. You have lots of aspiring and very successful entrepreneurs you can communicate with here if you ever need a hand. :)

Well there are lots of CPA offers out there, but the initial focus is going to be the foundation and the framework for your business.

I have spent some time breaking down the process in the most simplistic way possible. Success online is at the core a 4 step process and I have broken them down within this video: How to Create an Online Business - The 4 Steps Broken, down, the process looks like this:

Step 1: Choose your niche
Step 2: Build your website/content
Step 3: Get rankings in search engines (leads to traffic)
Step 4: Monetize your traffic (the make money part, through affiliate programs, CPA, etc!)

This applies in absolutely every niche and as you work through the training here at WA, you are going to be walked through this exact process. This is fundamental for ANY success online.

If you have any further questions let me know Daniel. :)

Thanks mate , Am going through the 4 steps day by day. Will soon get through. Thanks again

Dan

Yeah, we are not going anywhere at all. We have been around for 12 years, are better than ever, and we have some amazing things in store for members in the year ahead! :)

Yes, some of our older WA members blog for a fulltime income. If you search for success stories on the site you'll find some really interesting personal accounts, some from people you might really identify with. Have a dig into the member's posts and see what you find. Some of these people have been at it for up to ten years. So, it's evidently been worth their while!

I'm new here Barry, so I'm probably not who you expect to hear from, but I do have to say that I have been searching online for a long time also, and this is the first site that the focus hasn't been toward the upsell.

There is the Premium account, and yes I upgraded after a week and a half of being here (now just about 2 weeks), but have found a completely different atmosphere here.

The focus has been on building your knowledge base and online business presence, whether or not you continue with WA, or with the free account or premium. I found that refreshing.

The community is way different here also, based on my past experiences, as they are very supportive and engaging with help, advice, support, and encouragement, again whether or not you've joined premium or are using the free account. Believe me, I am not trying to sell you either, I'm just relating my experience here.

I have every confidence that you'll discover this for yourself. Much success and I look forward to seeing you around the WA community if it works out for you!
~ Bob

Thank you for your feedback :)

Thanks Bob. I appreciate your comments. Best of luck.

No worries! Have fun here.

Hey Barry, yes, it is absolutely possible. I make a full-time income with affiliate marketing, and I learned how to do so by following the training within WA. I will say that it takes time though. For me, it took 3 months to make my first $1.17 from Amazon and it wasn't until the 6 month mark I was earning regular commissions. So if you can really commit and take massive action, you can absolutely make a full-time income. It's just time and effort really.

We have MANY members create REAL businesses (ie full time income) here at WA, within pretty m much every niche you can imagine. We don't SELL based on the idea of success as that is a poor way to sell a service that is actually a tangible service like WA.

We sell you on what we are, the most advanced and comprehensive, supportive and cost efficient platform in the the industry for creating, growing and managing your business online.

I know you are going to love your experience here Barry and if you ever have any further questions just let us know!

Thank you for that info. That really helps relieve some anxiety.

Thank tom for your info you shared. I'm just wondering if I dig in and give 10+ hours a day for a few weeks if I will be earning. I haven't upgraded yet I'm on lessons 4 . I just don't want to be wasting time? And more importantly money.

It is possible to earn some money in that time with such a solid commitment, but thinking in terms of 'weeks' in this business is never a good thing. You really want to think longterm, because that's what WA is showing you here. How to set yourself up for longterm success.

I understand what it's like when you're just getting started. You want to make sure it's real before committing longterm. I get it. But the reality is, how quickly you earn is an impossible question to answer. Because there are so many variables at play. I know that in the longterm it will never be a waste of anyone's time if they see it all the way through. I know this first hand. Which is why I recommend taking the longterm approach if and when possible.

To put things in perspective, I like to think of it as if you're doing your degree in affiliate marketing. Except at the end of just one short year, you are very likely going to be earning a nice passive income, the following year you could easily reach a full-time income. As oppose to doing a typical degree for 3+ years, being stuck with debt, and hoping to maybe land a job at the end of it.

I'd love to say you could start making money quickly, but I'd be full of it if I did. All I can say is that if you take massive action on a consistent basis, you can and will reach your goals.

I found this post extremely helpful too when it comes to this topic. You may want to check it out to see if it helps you too: Expectations of Online Revenue. Why Most People Fail. Hope this helps and all the best going forward! :) Cheers

You likely will not be earning in a few weeks, if you are looking for a program like that they do not exist. We teach you how to properly build a business online here at WA, which takes some time (but is much quicker than a conventional offline business).

From my experience, your website and your business will start to see some breakthroughs around month 3. That is what happen for me, and here I am 16 years later (of being full time online).

You are going to do great Debi. Things like building a website that took 30 days when I started out (back in 2002) now take 30 seconds. Technology has advanced, the process has been simplified, and what you have access to here within WA is unmatched within the industry.

I look forward to working with you!

Debi, it's normal to feel kind of skeptical I am the same way but, today I can tell you that I am so glad that I keep moving forward within the training, when you see your site come to life and people start complimenting it will feel so rewarding.. And another thing never hesitant to ask for help when you need it. I or any other member can help you out...Much success to you in 2018 and beyond...

You are in the right place and what that "other" company was offering for $1,000s will pale in comparison to what you get with the premium membership here.

I look forward to working with you Tom!

Yeah, no worries. We are a very helpful community here at WA and if you ever have any questions at all as you do move forward, please ask. :)

You can comment and get help as a Starter member as well. If you need a hand with anything at all as you do move forward, just ask. :)

“By me as I get “ sorry typo there^^^^

Bug us all you want Stephon! You have lots of hear every step of the way and I really do look forward to working with you. I know you're going to love the training in the overall process, we teach what works here!

Hi Stephon, welcome to WA, glad to have you here.
Enjoy the process.
RitaAnn~

I think you have done a good job setting up your profile, and you're ready to move forward to the next . Welcome to the community Jason, and congrats on going premium! I really look forward to working with you.

Yeah rotating images and makes life a lot easier when importing them as I know what you are saying, some images that I add are imported incorrectly as well and sometimes upside down. ;)

Here is the money goals thread: What are your "money" goals? You can find and edit your goals there. Great to have you here at Wealthy Affiliate Maribel!

We teach what works and you are going to learn how to PROPERLY build a business online at WA. There is a reason we have been around for 12 years. What you get here is by far the most comprehensive, cost efficient platform in the industry.

Lots of support every step of the way, so if you ever need a hand with anything at all let us know!

Absolutely, and as you move forward through the training you are going to gain some really advanced knowledge in a short period of time. We teach what works now, and will work for many years to come.

Off to the next step here and I see you are all set up and ready to go!

Hi Steph, glad you finally gave it a try! Well the nice thing about affiliate marketing is you do not have to own your own products - no costs there - you simply get a commission on selling products that you believe in - so you choose an audience/niche that you can communicate with and recommend products to them - and you make that choice based on what you are comfortable, interested or experienced with yourself

so it is a natural flow

yes you need a website and when you follow along the training Kyle will have you building your website very quickly - he will also show you how to write content and get traffic to your website

meanwhile, you have two free websites right now on which to learn and implement the training

Great to have you here at Wealthy Affiliate Steph! I really do look forward to working with you. :)

Thank you! I really appreciate the info!

I'm glad to be here and right back at ya Kyle!

Glad you made the decision to join Wealthy Affiliate. I know you are going to love here, and I really look forward to working with you! :)

Hi Stellian, it took me over two month to become a premium member after I started free member of WA. I was not sure just like you. But I actually regret I waited for that long. Once I became a premium, now I actually learn from the community, and what other people are doing as affiliate marketer. When you are free member, information is so limited. I wished I knew about this community many many years ago..! Thank you Kyle and Carson for creating WA.

Totally disregard and ignore that. You can sign up the premium at any point and I recommend that you acquaint yourself with the community here. Learn how to build a business the proper way, which is going to be covered in the first level of training alone.

Buy lesson 4 alone you are going to have your very own website up and running!

Thanks Kyle: I'm one of those people who have to research everything to death and think about it for awhile. After sleeping on it and considering the pros and cons I signed up for premium this morning. Thanks again for the great support and community.

Well you have definitely found a "home" here in Wealthy Affiliate Marilyn. Absolutely everything you need is here, including support and mentorship every step of the way.

If you ever need a hand, just ask. We are a community of caring folks here at WA!

this seems like a really good place to start, I am hoping to be successful with this and to be able to spend more time with my kids instead of working lots of hours out of the house

Yeah, for sure. Do what you are comfortable with, you can always include your own image down the road. Completely up to you though.

Great to have you here as part of the community!

Excellent Lothar, that will make for a good description on your profile.

What is the focus of your consulting business?

Fawn, the profile and the follow thing are two different concepts:

The 'profile' doesn't have to be 'in depth' it is just a brief introduction so when you ask questions and interact the other members in here simply see who we are talking to, you will also see that people get to know each other a little, it is not impersonal, friendships can be formed in here. Also, for the bootcamp affiliate program a referral does need to sign up fully for someone to get commission on that.

You will get two different answers on the 'follow' aspect though, some will say it is important, I will say it is not. And you are 100% correct in that it will not help your income or website. If you read my blogs you will see I speak out about people getting caught up in all that and gaming the system for 'rank', but that is not why the system was set up and the whole rank thing will change just the way google keeps getting more selective in its algorithms.

The platform is not set up for a 'tight community' in my opinion, we are a mixed bunch, as someone said it is a business community with a social aspect [and some people get that the other way around in here] but it is a friendly place where people help more than you might expect.

The system trains newbies to advanced superaffiliates and you are going to see quite a mix of activity in here, because people have a lot of freedom, but you can just focus on the training and pop in and out to ask questions and interact when and if you like - which is always what I encourage people to do.

You will notice some members produce extra training, when you get to know who is who you might then want to follow them, for example members who produce good training or advice eg Nathaniell and many many others.

I'm kind of wondering the same thing, but I think that much like FB, if you take the time to flesh out a proper network you'll find like minds and perhaps new business partners. Many horses pulling the same cart can get the cart up the hill faster.

You can follow whoever you like, follow people that help you, follow you or that interest you.

It is up to you, those that you do follow you will be notified when they publish blog posts/questions here at WA. It is your way of networking with others and building your circle of friendships here within WA.

The greater the network you have, the quicker the help as well as they will be notified when you post questions, blogs, etc.

Hope this clarifies for both of you!

it's worth getting to know people and interacting, there's a lot to learn, I learn a lot from reading blogs and questions, but a new person isn't obliged to do take on anything, it is a choice

I'm not saying ignore the system, but like you said there's a time factor and you will want to know which horses are pulling your direction when there are very many involved

Sure, no problem at all Marcella! Enjoy your vacation and when you get back, dig into the training here at WA. And of course if you have any questions in the meantime, please do let us know and we will be happy to help you out.

I know you are going to love the supportive and forward thinking community and platform here at WA!

Awesome, you are working ahead already. I can tell you are going to fit right in here and you are going to see your business evolve very quickly as you move forward through the training.

can you explain to me how did you upload image. Thank

Hi! You should be able to just hit upload and pull a file from somewhere (desktop, downloads, documents...wherever you have a pic) on your computer.

One sentence is completely fine, add whatever you like to your description and you can always update this information down the road Tanya.

Yes I agree have some fun. You have a blog if you wish to blog to have fun with.

The image represents that you can be a professional. Your verbal and textural communication will reveal your true character and it should be flexible to match the present situation you are in. You are right... sometimes too professional attitude might viewed as a lawyer like, cunning and deceptive? (not all) Yes, people will relate to the character you portray. In live situations, find out if you can about the person you're about to meet family, hobbies., kids sports etc... and make small talk about that to break the ice.

If you visit someone in their home or office.. look at the pictures on the desk and walls. cetrificates..etc...to start small talk to break the ice.

Did you check the task completed box?

Continue working through the training and taking action on it. You don't have to upgrade at this point, you can do so at any point you like.

Within the first 10 lessons you are going to have the foundational building blocks of your website all set up and ready to go, from there you will be off and running for a much longer and more successful journey online.

Upgrade at your own pace and what makes the most sense to you!

Thank you, and yes, I did, and that was the problem... lol

Thanks Kyle. What I am wondering is when I create my webpage before I go premium, what domain do I use? and then when I upgrade can I then pick a domain? or how does that work.

The first month is 19.00, it took me 2 months of looking at other possibilities and now I am thinking, I will worry about it later. The cost is low considering the other programs I looked into. Some were 100's right away, while others were thousands with the option of monthly payments. Don't believe me, look into it yourself.

BTW, I am doing contracting customer service that only pays when someone takes action. I have been working with no earnings. Lets pray for each other.

Best,

No problem at all Joseph, wonderful to have you here and I really do look forward to working with you. We were all NEW at one point in our journey and that is something that we have never lost sight of here at WA.

I look forward to working with you and if you need anything at all moving forward do let me know. :)

Nice to meet you and I really do look forward to working with you! :)

Well you are definitely in the right place David and I know you are going to love your journey moving forward. You are by no means late to the party, there has never been more opportunity online than there is today!

50 sites is more than enough for anyone to run many multi-million dollar online companies. If you need more than that per account, then cross that bridge when you get there.

The Managed Wordpress hosting you have access to here at WA is matched by very few hosts in the industry in terms of quality, security, speed, and support. It definitely is not a budget host like the other shared hosting companies out there. The hosting you get here at WA is comparable to $250 per MONTH hosting packages.

You can learn more about it here:

http://www.wealthyaffiliate.com/hosting/

You can host up to 25 of your own domains and 25 free .siterubix.com websites on your Premium hosting platform here at WA.

Hi Kyle
What you are saying is that WA is only for hosting commercial sites and that we cant analyze / monitor ordinary sites for the purpose of content / internet / inbound marketing? Please visit our site Chamberlink in south Africa co za go to members and see the sites we are working with. I need to be sure before I commit our chamber to anything long term.

You could host any type of site that you like here, that is up to you. We do specialize in Wordpress sites though and if you are building out Wordpress sites (for any purpose) there is no better place.

Hi Kyle
Please answer the question and I will join immediately. We want to move away from HubSpot and analyze our 230 websites which we host at Hetzner, in WA. All our sites has been developed in WP.
We cant spend the Chambers money without authorization and I need to convince the board to do so.

Instead of dragging and dropping you're probably better off with just using browse. Click on the browse option and it'll take u to where u can just click on the picture u want to use and you're done.

With drag and drop you left click on the picture u want and while holding it you drag it over to where u want to drop it and then u let go off the left click button. You'd need two windows open. Don't worry about it. Just use browse and it's quick and easy :)

Got the image thing figured out.

Would like to change my RLG which was done the day I started the free membership thing some time ago. Would like to put something else in there. How do I do that?

Thanks. I forgot about the holding thing. I did figure out the browse part which is why there is now an image. I would like to change the RLG identifier, which is what I used when I first joined some time ago and put something else there. How do I do that?

At first I was like "what in the world is an RLG identifier?" haha then I saw your username.

To change your username click on your profile icon at the top and click on account settings :)

I see you have set up your profile here at WA, this is just for setting up your profile here, it has nothing to do with your gravatar. I am assuming this is sorted out now.

Please do let me us know if you need a hand with anything else moving forward.

Do what works, I think to a certain degree when starting out we all have to make such sacrifices. I know I surely did.

You are going to do great and it is wonderful to have you as part of the family here at WA!

Hello I am. Alice I am so glad you are here I will follow .Do the same . Stay in touch.

so I don't feel alone! I'm a new baby too, I'll follow you

Thank You so much I will follow you in return and I am glad to have the chance to me you .

That's awesome! You're off to a good start, Ian. Keep moving on with what you have already started and make it to the top! All the best ~Betcha

Love the positive attitude! Keep up the good work!

Awesome, nice work. Off and running here Ian. If you need a hand with anything at all moving forward do let me know and I will be more than happy to help you out. :)

Nicely done Jim. I see your image is up and you are off and running here. :)

I am 66 and had my daughter do the picture. I hope I can get into
lesson 2 I have been getting error messages. Trying to figure out what I am doing wrong

Great to have you here at WAPriscilla and so glad you are enjoying everything thus far! I really do look forward to working with you and I know as you immerse yourself here within the community, things are only going to get better!

Hello,

I too am older and need to add to my income without leaving home. I had a minor stroke and can't stay active with any thinking for more than 2-3 hours at a time.
I am good with computers, but not so good with driving business.

Could be a wifi connection, the most common problem I see with lag on phones. Some of the videos are fairly large (in particular the high def versions)) which can cause some lag at times.

I see you have since sorted this out. Let us know if you have any further issues moving forward, your profile looks great!

From my understanding, you have 7 days. If you look to the upper left of the page, you will see a "countdown" to when your free membership is up

Yes, as a Premium member you can host up to 25 of your own domains and 25 free .siterubix websites (total of 50). The process can be quite manual for transferring over a website, but you can definitely do it Kurt (and it is much easier fi they were created in Wordpress).

Wonderful to have you here at WA and I really do look forward to working with you!

Pretty excited man. I already am fairly successful, but I truly believe this training is going to take my endavours over the top. At least that is th hope.
