Are you getting frustrated because you have not yet earned an affiliate commission? Perhaps you are new here and looking for proof that this whole system works!

Here is a quick exercise that you can do right now that can potentially make you some money today right here at Wealthy Affiliate. You can do this a both a free starter member or a premium member.

This is something that worked for me. Give it a try and see for yourself then please leave your feedback in the comment section. I am also happy to help if you have any questions.

You will be monetizing your content as you continue to develop your website. However, at this point you may not have much traffic as your site is brand new. There is no point in placing any affiliate links in your content until you first have an audience. Here is why....

Google and other search engines will only rank your content once they have had a chance to see what type of content you are producing.

Search engines HATE spam content so if you are stuffing your content full of affiliate links you WILL NOT rank for your keyword, especially when your site is new. Google WILL rank content that is informative and helpful to the public.

Generally, it will take up to a week before your website is even indexed in search engines! After that all your pages and posts will be continuously checked and ranked accordingly.

It is not likely that you will get any high rankings until you have written quite a few posts that search engines find helpful. I highly recommend that you write at least six to ten quality posts before trying to sell anything on your site.

So how can you make a commission now then? I have a little trick up my sleeve that you can try for yourself right now. Continue on to the next page.....

Quick beginner question. If we copy and paste the same WA affiliate link to our social media post, etc. how does WA track that it's from a unique user since it's the same generic link...?

There is "?a_aid=0xxxxxxb" at the end of the WA url. That's your unique referral link.

You can find it at the WA Affiliate Program >> Links & Tracking

If you want to share any blog post in WA, you just have to add the ?a_aid=0xxxxxxb to the end of the blog post url.

Hope this helps.
