There are three aspects of Wealthy Affiliate content that you can shared.

1. Training

The FIRST PAGE of any given tutorial here at Wealthy Affiliate can be shared. So if you are sharing a video tutorial, the video will be able to be viewed from the outside world with no issues as videos are only one page. If you share a "text" based tutorial, then only the first page of a tutorial will be visible.

This will represent a sense of "I want more" to the people externally that are visiting a training resource. The first page will give them a taste of what they can expect but in order to see the rest they will have to sign-up for free. Sharing training will result in a lot of referrals!

2. Blogs

All blog post content can be shared in their entirety. Upon sharing a blog post, people will be able to read the content and the associated comments. There is a good deal of valuable blog posts within Wealthy Affiliate that can be leveraged. People love reading quality and there is a lot of "share" potential with blog content.

3. Profiles

Profiles are by default shareable to the outside world. This does carry a lot of benefit if you want to prove that you are an actual member of the community (can lead to much higher conversions) and can allow you to invite people to "join you at Wealthy Affiliate". Both are very powerful propositions and profiles should utilized in your marketing activities.

Turning Your Content Sharing On/Off


Some people (or yourself) may want to keep content private within the community. This can be managed within the exact training, blog post, or within your profile. Content by default is set to on, but you can edit your training and blog post share settings within the actual editor.

Here are the examples of turning it on and off.

If you want to turn Sharing OFF....


If you want to turn it ON....

It is that simple.

There may be some instances where you don’t want to share something or you want to keep it exclusive to WA only, which is completely fine. You will lose the reach and the potential of your content, but don't feel obliged to share if it is something that is personal and you want to keep private to your fellow members here at WA. :)

I personally want my content to be shared. It will build my following (as we will describe in a later section), will lead to branding, credibility and far more engagement within my actual content. Also, when I leave my content open to sharing, I can also share it myself (outside of WA) which is the ultimate leverage of being able to generate referrals.

What Happens If Someone Tries to Click on Another Page?

If someone tries to click on any link (other than the share buttons at the top), they are going to be presented with an offer to "join" WA for a free. Here is an example of this:


If someone is engaged enough to try to navigate to other pages on Wealthy Affiliate, chances are they will be very interested in taking advantage of the Starter Membership here which does not cost a dime.

Hi guys, I've had WealthyAffiliate bookmarked in my browser for over a year now, but have failed to sign up due to lack of time! Now that is not an issue, I'm motivated and excited to learn as many concepts and viewpoints on marketing as I can. Thanks for this opportunity, and I look forward to learning!

Awesome stuff! Great to have you here and I definitely look forward to working with you. Glad that you have made the decision to join and do let me know if you need any help along the way. The new "sharing" component is going to be a good way for you to get others interested and benefit financially from as well, so let me know if you have any questions about this as well.

Hey "Chripper":

Welcome! We've all been there where we wanted to gen in but was afraid of investing money before seeing any ROI. What's ironic is that people (myself included) are willing to pay $10,000/yr for traditional education but are gun shy to pay $600/yr to learn how to create an online business that is basically recession proof. In fact, problems are money making opportunities for online marketers.

Lucky you (or any newbie here), there is this SIMPLE "Sharing" business model that anyone can run with. We never had this a few years ago. I hope you don't give up on your dream of making a living online.

Think of it this way. You could go out and invest tens of thousands in a brick and mortar business and deal with all the other obstacles that go along with it. Or, you can work on a business here for $50/mo "rent," with support from tutorials and real people, whenever it its convenient for you. That sounds a lot more doable for the ordinary person, yes? Now go learn and share something:)

@Chripper - Welcome to WA! I look forward to getting to know you helping with your online business. You really do have it ALL at your fingertips. Glad that you've had us in the back of your mind for over a year...time to get down to business :)

@SquidooSlfMstr - Couldn't have said it better myself. People (myself included) line up at Offline Universities with checks in hand ready to pay tens of thousands of dollars for an education. In the online world, WA is as close as it gets to an offline degree, but you're getting much more. Offline universities could NOT teach online business. They cannot stay current enough. WA is the ONLY place you can get a real education in online business, and for a fraction of the cost of offline institutions. Well said.

The reason most members I've talked to over the years take time deciding to join WA is because of all the scams and misleading products out there. With our new sharing capabilities we can now give people a glimpse of the immense value inside the exclusive WA members area. I hope this will help many people find their online business "Home" in WA.

Awesome training Kyle, thank you so much. This is definitely a golden opportunity to be pursued. Thanks K&C to you both. The sample schedule is a very nice bonus, one question, could you elaborate on "Share your email link to this post in at least 5 places"
for some reason I don't quite understand that one, I may be overthinking it though.

I have always been amazed at the volume and quality of information here at WA. Sharing will only enable more to benefit from the knowledge. People are able to create their own opinions from information viewed - true seller. Another very welcomed change.

sounds like a great idea, i know i'm gonna take advantage of the sharing :)

(off topic) been a long time since being logged on here and wondering...what happened to the WA blog theme setup that was available way back? and the report and emails to give away from blog also?

site looks alot nicer now too :)

Blog theme set-up? If you are referring to the website builder, you can find it under Build Websites within WA. We removed the "Blog & Funnel" system because it was highly outdated and was essentially duplicate content which goes against all of Google's ranking algos. Much better off to create your own content, from your own perspective and own voice.

Glad you like the new look and hopefully we will see more of you inside the new WA! :)
