Welcome to the WA Affiliate Bootcamp! Are you ready to learn lots, have fun, and earn a bunch of commissions that will pay you over and over again? If so then you are in the right place.

Welcome to the official Wealthy Affiliate, AFFILIATE BOOTCAMP for 2016. This initial phase of the course is 10 lessons in length.

By taking part in this course, you are not just committing to 10 lessons. You should be committing yourself to creating a highly successful, long term business (which you will be learning). This won't happen overnight, but with some hard work and dedication to what you learn here, you can truly create a long term and very successful business.

This is the start of your exciting journey ahead!

If you make a commitment today, a few months from now you are going to be seeing awesome results. A year from now, I am absolutely positive that you can become an authority online and be making commissions EVERY SINGLE DAY...in fact you can have a full time business promoting WA.

Sound cool? It is going to become a reality for you!

Here are a few things you should know.

First thing, it does not cost a dime to take part in this boot camp training. It is 100% free.

Secondly, you don't have to be a Premium member already, although it will be highly beneficial to you if you are. If you are a Premium member of WA then it will lead to a much better understanding of the offer and what you are promoting. You can upgrade here if you have already been considering it (and are not already premium).

Understanding the WA Affiliate Opportunity

Here is the break down of how the affiliate program commission structure works:

Invites: They Join WA for Free

STARTER Member Commissions:

Initial $19 offer, Commission = $4
$49/mth, Commission = $11.25 recurring
$359/year, Commission = $87.50 recurring

If you are a Premium Member here at Wealthy Affiliate, you get 100% higher commissions as an affiliate and you also get to take part in our $1 credit program, which allows you to earn from free members you sign-up that set-up their accounts.

PREMIUM Member Commissions: (100% higher commissions!!!)

Credits: They Set-up their account = $1
Initial $19 offer, Commission = $8
$49/mth, Commission = $23.50 recurring
$359/year, Commission = $175 recurring!

**Note: on average 1:8 - 1:12 upgrade to yearly, depending on the affiliate

When you sign-up someone for free, your goal is to get them to set-up their account. Setting up ones account will lead you to an initial $1 (2 credits x $0.50). These add up when you are a Premium member.

When someone sets up their account, they are granted an initial $19 first month offer. This converts very well and almost everyone decides to stay after the first month because of the value, the quality of the services, the help they get, and the overall positive experience offered here at Wealthy Affiliate.

There is no other program like Wealthy Affiliate in the world....and we fully stand behind that statement.

Yearly commissions happen frequently and they offer a hefty pay day of $175 each. Make a few of these per day and you are looking at over $10,000 per month! Through the Affiliate Bootcamp we are going to get you to the point where you are making these regularly.

Alright perfect, let's get straight into your Day 1 Tasks.


Task 1: Add Your Affiliate Goals in terms of Referrals to the Discussion

We have created a discussion where you can add your affiliate goals, not just for the upcoming bootcamp though. I am a long term guy myself. I know what can be accomplished in a year...a year is a like a blink in time and before you know it next year is going to be here.

What if you could make 100 referrals by next year...what about 200...what about 500....a 1000? Be realistic, but be unrealistic. You never reach goals that you thought were unattainable if you never set them.

Add your goals here within the following thread.

==> ADD YOUR GOALS: What are your WA Promotional Goals?

Also, comment on AT LEAST two other people's goals within the thread. This is a community here at WA and we are all here to help one another succeed.

You can begin your networking now and you are going to build some awesome relationships which will only further your online success. So take a minute and encourage at least two other people with their goals as well.

I want to let you know about something as well. If you can reach 300 unique referrals through the course of this year, we are going to fly you to Vegas for a private conference (fully paid)!

Yes, you read that correctly! This should give you an immediate goal to strive for.

Do you think that there are 300 people in this world you could connect with and show them the benefits of Wealthy Affiliate? I absolutely know that you can!

You will notice the "airplane icon" within the header with a countdown. This will tally all unique sales and as you make them, it will show your countdown to reach Las Vegas! (see below)

If you click the "airplane" icon, it will open up a quick access menu to all your affiliate tools.

Task 2: Check Out the 2017 Las Vegas Blog Post

You want to make it to Las Vegas in 2018? Read about the experience from the most recent years conference. It was the most powerful, amazing conference to date and we would love nothing more than to have you there next year!

DISCUSSION: Vegas 2017, Epic. Vegas 2019 Will Be Next Level.

Task 3: Watch the Affiliate Program Walk through

Here is an introduction video to Wealthy Affiliate. This is going to give you an overview of your stats pages and show you around the set-up of your affiliate account.


DISCUSS VIDEO HERE: The Affiliate Program Walk-through

It is important that you go through this so you fully understand the process.

Task 4: Officially Join the Affiliate Bootcamp

We run promotions throughout the year and update our affiliate program regularly. We want to keep you informed of any timely offers that you can take advantage of. We will also be able to connect with you to offer specialized training, promotional materials, motivation, and new advancements to the Bootcamp course.

You Are Already Officially Part of Affiliate Bootcamp!


This is a necessity if you want to become a top affiliate. I want you to take a second right now and officially join Affiliate Bootcamp by clicking the button above. It is going to help you keep on track, keep you informed, and is going to allow us help you make more money! This is a requirement to continue with this course...and something that is going to help you out as well!

Getting Back to Bootcamp

Before I leave you today, I just wanted to explain how you get back to where you left off within Bootcamp. You simply want to click the BLACK "Affiliate Bootcamp" button within the main menu and this will always take you back to your last completed task. It is a smart button.

This allows you to automatically know exactly where you left off within the training without having to dig around to find. Below the Affiliate Bootcamp text, you will also see your "Progress" showing you exactly what lesson you are on. As you complete the tasks within the training, you will move through the Affiliate Bootcamp Lessons so make sure you check off the tasks as you complete them.

The "about me" page seems to pretty important. I have looked at several sites looking for inspiration but all of the people i checked seem to have been doing this for many years. I'm a complete noob to this. Does anybody have any ideas on what a novice can say on the "about me" page?

Thanks a lot

It's an about you page - but it is about your readers. What is it about you that can help your reader. For example, you sell tshirts for breast cancer. You don't talk about how you were in the army and now you are retired and looking to make money. You talk about your sister who beat breast cancer and who has inspired you to support the cause and raise awareness about breast cancer. I don't kno if I am making sense, but if you have any more questions about it, just shoot me a line. Good luck.

Hey, Worden!

Your review is good, but it lacks a few stuff,
For instance, you should add more images in order to document what you're telling,
Try to be a bit interactive while writing. ask some questions and make the reader wonder about what you have to say next.
Other than that, the site looks simple and good and you're doing well

Tried to leave you a comment, but comments are not activated for your post,

I would be glad if you'd give m article a bit of your time :))

So I know this is going to sound crazy but how do I share my review on social media? I actually have to create some of these account - I am literally an internet new guy. Is it as simple as copy and paste or is there a technique I should use to make it more professional?

U can just copy the URL of the page u want to share and paste it in u social media post box and hit post. Each social media, like FB, Twitter, Google+ etc have a place to share your posts. U usually just write a small blurb about the page and then paste the URL right below it and hit the post button and it shares it. U used youtube to learn how to post in each social media that I created accounts with. Hope this helps u a little.

If you're at the part where Kyle asks you to write a Wealthy Affiliate review then that's exactly what you're going to do, brother :) He talks step by step on how to not only talk about WA but to *show* why it's such a great platform.

All your future posts including your reviews will of course revolve around your niche. Stick with that training and keep it up!

First, if u are doing your own niche then u should be the Certification Course and not Bootcamp. Bootcamp is strictly for promoting WA. That is the niche.
Second, the answer is yes, u will do a review of WA and then u will eventually do 5 more reviews of other programs like WA and how they rate compared to WA.
If u are doing your own niche then u should be doing the course under the green tab.

I have a question at this point: Which marketing would be more powerful to get as many referrals to WA as possible, article marketing, niche marketing or website marketing? I mean, if I have a cooking, gourmet food website, or a tea, nutrition, and health-related website, how can I effectively get as many referrals as possible with these kinds of websites? Is that possible? Or, I better establish a brand new website just for promote WA to get referrals?
Reply
OCantos1 Premium
@DW66
I'm not sure, but I'm trying the angle of inviting people who might want to start their own website to join WA and place your affiliate link. I use a text widget. For example, "If you're interested in creating your own online business like mine, start here." Although, it may take someone away from your niche, but it can take them to your affiliate link. Hope this helped. Good luck.

The best way to get referrals is to do the bootcamp here. It will teach u how to get referrals for WA. Trying to promote WA with Cooking could be a little tricky to do as u are trying to target 2 diff audiences at the same time.
Reply
Moz Premium
@DW66
...if it is 'as many as possible' you are looking for then even though you can slip in an ad on your nutrition website, or a post or an article - it would not be the main drive or the way to 'get the most possible', though it certainly could be a very good way to get some...so I'd include it as an option and have a page for opportunities such as WA on my health niche website

I will also be re-starting my bootcamp site which I'd hope picks up more than at my health site, websites do take work and passion - those are things to consider too when starting up a second site - if you have one site already do you want to bring that up to a strong place in terms of posting 3-5 times a week as well as optimizing your SEO to get properly ranked, it is possible to do both, just know what you are taking on and pace it out timewise

trying to choose my domain name and am having a nightmare.

The problem is that I want to start this thing with a site that i can scale in the future. I am going to be promoting WA but once that's working well, I want to expand into promoting some of the entrepreneurs and businessmen that I follow, giving tips on productivity and increasing income. Generally deciding what you want and going all out to get it! So to me the domain name is important. I've come up with a few...

advanceandconquer.com

get-wealth.com

super-life-now.com

Any thoughts?

Recommendation: Choose a single Niche per website...
You have 50 websites as your finger tips.

If I like to find out the most about a camera I'm interested... I'd go to a camera store where I'm assured that everyone there knows about "cameras".

In a department store.. that may not be true.

I feel it applies to online websites as well.

Also heard others say the same thing.

Just food for thought..

thanks so much for your advice, I'll definitely keep that in mind.

for now I'm going with becometheentrepreneur.com

I like the way it sounds and, in the future, I think I would really enjoy running a site that helped people with a variety of personalities, likes, dislikes etc... As long as somebody is ambitious and positive... they're my kind of people and I'd love to be in a position to help.

I think maybe when I've got the skills honed a little I'll work on building multiple websites for slightly "tighter" niches, as a purely money making thing.

Thanks again

Another trick you can do, if you have a Gmail account is to use a plus sign and a label to create a virtual email address that still sends emails to your existing one...

For example, if your Gmail address was bobbit@gmail.com you could use bobbit+example@gmail.com as your email address when creating the new user.

Any emails sent to bobbit+example@gmail.com would land in your normal inbox (bobbit@gmail.com)

You're welcome - I use this every time I sign up to a new list. That way if I start getting spammed, I'll know where it came from.

The other cool thing is that you can create filters in gmail to automatically filter emails that come in on different virtual addresses - to a folder or to the bin. :)

Malaysia picture (keeper for sure). Of the two Thailand pic's, pick your favorite and maybe replace the second one with a pic of another country you have been to, if you have one. Just an opinion. Good job!!!

I'd really like some good constructive criticism - is it lacking anything? Is the structure ok? What could I improve? Does it sell WA or is it too formal, etc. I have tried to use a template so that it matches my other reviews, but wondering if it's ok.

Until then, tons of details in a big puzzle.

yes it is quite a challenge. But it is a good idea to form a list of things you could write about, before you start writing. I made that mistake of just writing straight away. I ended up being unhappy with the theme and had to scrap it and start over.

Its a good idea to keep in mind/keep track of the following:
- your goal with the website
- your niche within bootcamp
- to write about one subject at a time

Than you can make a plan on which themes you want to write and what you want to explain (subjects).

Than you can start writing articles based upon the list of subjects and categories.

And after that initial writing, you need to keep the site alive with updated info, progress of yourself, reviews of products and services concerning your niche and driving traffic to your WA recruiting pages.

Good luck!

Hello All. I have a couple of questions:
1) If I set up a free website, if I move up to premium can I take that with me and simply just change the domain suffix? I would then own that site?
2) I have a catchy name for an affiliate website for spotting scams etc. (Spotthecrock) This doesn't have a "scam" type keyword in there. How could I ensure that this would get picked up in a search or maybe it simply wouldn't get picked up?

When you do decide to go premium after having a siterubix free domain, you don't change the domain suffix, you have to see if the domain you like is available, and if it is then you make the purchase and with the touch of a button you can move your siterubix domain content over to your paid domain.

Early on your posts will all be getting picked up by their individual titles as opposed to people finding your website itself. So if you really like your site name even though it doesn't have "scam" in it, it's not going to hurt your posts from being found and ranked. Obviously there is an advantage to having a website that itself is a keyword that may be found in a google search, but it doesn't necessarily have to be like that.

Welcome Jhonson. Good questions. ericcantu answered nicely. As a suggestion, read through the lesson in Get Started Here and Affiliate Bootcamp. The first 7 days are completely free and the lessons show you how to do it. I had my first page up and running in 3 day and I'm a slow reader. I wasn't making money, but I had a page on the internet for free and lots of free lessons to show me how to make my site make me money. If you will read the lessons you will see WA is an awesome site and it won't cost you anything. Good luck here at WA.

Great, just go to menu on right you will see your menus from top to bottom. Look on left side and you can Aline your menu by clicking and dragging headings in the order you wish. Top to bottom there and it will look right to left on your home page. Put a name in menus title box. (Example: menus 1) make sense? And click save or refresh.

I would recommend a computer. I real can not do anything on my smart phone. Maybe get message or some little task. The problem I have is the phone is to small to try to pull everything up on. That my concern, if you have no problems, or if your screen is bigger it may help.

What is the proper way to insert WA banners on my pages? I've just copied/paste and they look nice but the link doesn't work to take people to the start page in WA. Then if the link does work and they joined, how would I get credit for it. Thanks. Debbie

The Links are with your id Debbie. You will be notified if you have referrals joining you. Click on the Airplane and it will take you to your links and banners. You should be able to click on the banner you copy and pasted and then click the little edit icon and insert a custom URL.
The best way to do this is putting your banner into a widget and then it is always on your site. There are codes to embed as well. Hope this helps a bit.

Hello, I don't know how to find the previous training page about creating Privacy Policy page to ask the question there, so I will ask it here where I'm now with the training. Does anyone know why my privacy policy page appears twice on my website? What setting in my admin page did I miss for that? I'm asking this here hoping that I'll get an answer faster than maybe half hour of digging through WordPress or Siterubix support pages. Thank you.

It sounds like you have entered the box for the privacy policy on the menu bar twice. If you go to appearance then menu and at the side it will tell you what is all on the menu bar, check if it says privacy policy more than once and then just delete one of them.

Hope this is a help. xx

You may have listed it twice in your menu. Go to appearance then menu to check.

You do not need to do boot camp if you are doing a niche related to clothing. That's a different course!

As for your niche, I left you a comment on your profile about becoming more narrow with your topic.

Keep in mind as you choose your niche, that you'll be writing articles about the topic, not just listing items in an online store. So if you pick something related to clothes or fashion, think about if you have a lot to say on the topic!

You can create a new gmail address and use it. Then have that mail forwarded to your original address if it's Siterubix. If you own the domain, go into siterubix, and at the top, click on Site Email and you can create an email address for yourself there. Then add yourself as Admin.

I have a website where I promote useful books, with links to Amazon. They sent me an email, saying that they closed my account because my website violated copyrights and/or trademarks. They told me I can re-apply when I am compliant. They didn't give me specifics on how I violated their rules and I don't know how to fix it. I am inclined to forget about the books for now, as I would have to sell hundreds of books to make decent commissions.

I feel it will be more worthwhile to concentrate on promoting WA, which pays great commissions and as they are a great company and have many thousands of members, there's a big market out there.

Would you guys agree? What are your thoughts?

Ok, so I am almost finished with Course 1. I have been following along step by step and not cutting any corners.

The good news: I am indexed by Google

The bad news: Not listed within the 1st 10 pages... :(

So my question is this: Thus far through the Bootcamp training, when we have setup our pages and posts, Kyle has yet to talk about SEO. He explained to install All In One SEO but as he walked us through the steps of setting up our pages/posts he didn't show us how to do the SEO for each which I think is highly important. Will there be a big SEO training where we go back and add the SEO to our pages/posts?

If not, I would think this is a big obvious deletion. Maybe Kyle is expecting us to automatically do the SEO for our content but I am a follow by step, color by numbers kind of guy and since he never taught it, I have not done it.

Anyone care to comment and point me in the direction I need to go or am I just being too impatient and this will all be discussed later in the course?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Steve

The SEO builds up over time. Google is not going to trust you enough to put you in the first 10 pages overnight. The more content you build and the more traffic you build, the more trust you will gain and the higher you will rank. Everything is put down in the order that you should be doing it so don't worry. This doesn't happen over a few weeks. Some people it takes over a year depending on how often you post, how much attention you give to social media and how well you follow all of the tasks. If you just finished course 1, you are on the right track. Just keep going and don't skip out on any steps. He explains later that he doesn't want you focusing too hard on SEO and/or keywords because that takes away from the content you publish and makes it difficult to read.

Consider this.. I googled the phrase "I love You' and received 118,000,000 results (anytime) Unfiltered

I changed the time filter to (last 24 hours) and got 69 hits.
I added "Hawaii" making the search term "I love you Hawaii" and got 67 hits.

I you search for the title of your page it will be close to the top of the results list, If you are further down on the list then its because of the other webpages having the same or similar titles.

So it is not an exact science and with no guarantees that you will be at the top of the list. I'm sure there are many factors of considerations taken by Google for ranking. Google will even put you at the top of the results for a little $$$.

The key is to have many pages related to your niche, each page being it's own effort for ranking. Then once the traffic gets to one of your pages, the visitor will have access to all of your pages. The key is keeping them interested enough to convert.

Thanks for the comment krayjag2.

I'm not so much worried about where I rank on google right now. What I AM concerned with is that in the Bootcamp training so far we haven't addressed the on page SEO. So it's no wonder to me that I am not on any search results because I haven't filled out any SEO on my pages. This is because Kyle hasn't told us to do so. With others getting results of being on the 1st page of google or something similar, to me they are adding info to their SEO in their All In One SEO sections. Maybe they aren't and they have REALLY low competition keywords in their titles...

If he touches on SEO in later courses within the Bootcamp I'll hang tight and keep doing what Kyle tells me to. :)

Thanks for the reply billghawaii,

I understand about being more specific in my google search. So for your example about being specific, I did the following serches:

mydomain - not within the top 10 pages
mydomain getting started - HEY! I'm page 1 8th position! :)
mydomain training - not in the top 10 pages
mydomain building websites - not in the top 10 pages
my domain revenue streams - not in the top 10 pages
my domain wealthy affiliate my opinion - HEY! I'm page 1 1st position!! :))

In my experience prior to WA, I have placed SEO on my page when I created the content and usually have 1st-page positions within a couple days. This is what I am used to and when we haven't touched on SEO yet the above results just had me a little worried. I will keep pressing on and see what the future lessons have on SEO. Just surprised me that we haven't filled out any and my page is basically built and all that's left is to continue to add content.

Thanks again for the reply.

If I want to transfer the website, it says “Transfer domains from other registrars to SiteDomains here at WA”. This means that I can set up my website in order to have the name “[urlname]”.com?

Cristian, a domain name is not the same thing as a website.

If you have a domain name at another registrar, you can transfer it into WA, for which you will need a verification code of some description.

Or you can point it to WA servers by modifying the NS (Name Servers) at the current registrar so that the DNS records and info are then handled by WA Site Hosting.

Or you can purchase a domain name here @WA from Site Domains.

Not sure what you mean exactly but know that a website can be hosted anywhere where you like.

If you are the present registra of the domain name you can have it land to a website in WA by simply changing the DNS information for that domain name from where it is now to WA. This is one of the articles I found on that issue. Use your search bar on the top middle of the WA site page and enter "DNS" then see all the knowledge available to you.

You either do not have SSL setup, for example, you cannot have SSL on a SiteRubix site, or you have not turned it on, or you have not updated your content to SSL only URLs, so you will get this padlock with a red line through it.

I get the same message on my WA test site because it is a SR site thus no SSL.

Or you have previously been logging in via SSL and/or your browser is expecting an SSL login, or you have mixed content due which can be for a number or reasons, or the cert is indeed either expired or incorrectly framed.

This is likely just a browser warning regarding a non-SSL connection or there is a cert issue,

Creating a new Mozilla account will not make any difference, the content or the site cert or both is the issue, neither will clicking on the link from within WA.

Check that your SSL is enabled if you are not running a SiteRubix subdomain.

Also, as Carl mentions, contact SiteSupport for more guidance, they will be able to shed some light on it for you.

There's your problem right there.

You cannot have SSL on a Site Rubix. No point contacting support, they will tell the same, take a read of my post above.

The message is a generic browser message and is nothing to do with your site itself, well not directly, it's just a warning that information may be insecure as it can be seen in transit, which is true, but most of your traffic can be sniffed in the exact same way right now.

You can kill the warning of course by having a valid SSL cert, just not on your SR site which is why so many sites are now moving to SSL because they don't want users wondering if the connection is secure and questioning the padlock and red line.

Hi Cristian, it is a PITA you cannot get SSL on your SiteRubix but there are lots of other good reasons to move to your own domain name when you are able, SSL being just one.

I never set up a new site without SSL now it just seems silly not to as people are learning to expect it from the sites they visit.

Though to be fair, in terms of the info being passed, the only real issue is the fact you are putting login details into the back end/WordPress login, so as mentioned here in other comments, login from WA, this way you will never have to put your login details into a web page or the WP login page.
