Affiliate Bootcamp: Let's Learn About Affiliation
So What Is Affiliation?
Let's take an example you know. In days gone by some of us were privileged to work for a company at some time or another. When someone asked you what work you did you could have said, I am affiliated with such and such a company.
Affiliation simple means a part of something, associated with something or someone.
To help you understand better, I looked the word 'Affiliation' up in a Thesaurus for you:
- Association
- Relationship
- Connection
- Attachment
- Membership
- Link
These are the results that came up. Now this should help us understand that we can be a part of any company that allows us to become an Affiliate.
Your first Affiliation that you can work with is right here!
You are a member of Wealthy Affiliate, and there are two affiliate programs available for you to start making an income online. They are:
Wealthy Affiliate URL Link
Promote It! - this can be found under the heading $ WA Affiliate Program left menu
Jaaxy Affiliate URL Link
Promote It! - this can be found under the heading Jaaxy on the bottom left of your screen. Sign up if you haven't already, it's free to join, login and look for the a heading referencing the Jaaxy Referral Link.
These are just two examples of Affiliate Marketing. Since you are member of a company, you are able to receive a commission for being associated with them. Find out whether other companies have an affiliation program you can belong to.
UPDATE:

Although Affiliate Bootcamp is training on Affiliate Marketing, it also encompasses SEO Training to compliment it. Therefore, there is an overlap of the training courses. Having said this, there are definitely TWO different trainings and this tutorial was aimed at bringing BRIEF clarity on both trainings.
There will always be differing of opinions as to what is best to start. If you're still not sure what to start first, feel absolutely free to search for more information on the training you wish to pursue.
Now that we know what Affiliate Marketing is, let's make our educated decision.
You correctly point out in page 4 that premium content is blocked for Free members and if they wish to earn affiliate commission by promoting WA, it makes sense to get started with Bootcamp.
Free members get access to the first ten lessons in each stream:
Get Started Course 1: Consists of ten lessons
Bootcamp Phase 1: Consists of ten lessons
When they try to progress to Course/Phase 2 level in either stream, they will get a message that says:
"We're sorry, you do not have access to this Premium content. Please upgrade your membership to gain exclusive access to this and all other Premium content at Wealthy Affiliate".
I think this is what you are saying - just wanted to clarify it.
Well done! ~Jude

Herewith is confirmation of its usage:
Learned is the more common past tense and past participle of the verb learn. Learnt is a variant especially common outside North America. In British writing, for instance, it appears about once for every three instances of learned.
Thanks for the training. I know I struggled with which course and niche to start with when I signed up to WA, Edu.
