Which is the other question I need to answer:
"What is the Training offered by Wealthy Affiliate?"
One of the greatest aspects of WA is the training they offer members. Instead of only providing you with domains and website hosting, Kyle and Carson took the time to explain what you need to do to make money with your website(s).
There are many different types of training at WA (I will explain all), but the ones Kyle and Carson wrote are the Certification Course and the Affiliate Bootcamp training.
I will explain each in detail.
The Certification Course:
The Certification Course is 5 different courses with 10 individual lessons in each course that takes you in as a beginner and teaches you every single thing you need to know to start a niche website and make money.
There are 4 simple steps to make money online with a blog website:
- Choose your interest (Niche)
- Start your Blog website and Create Content
- Get Visitors to your website (traffic)
- Earn Money
Wealthy Affiliate breaks each step down, simplifies it and shows you exactly what to do and how to do it.
You will learn more about the 4 steps when you start the Certification Course.
You start out learning the basics on how people just like me and you are actually making money online, and you get right into choosing your niche and building your website.
Starting a website is most likely everyone's weakness, but Wealthy Affiliate provides EVERYTHING you need and EVERYTHING you need to know and do. so you can start your website and they make it as easy and simple as possible, anyone can do it.
Then you get right into learning how to create content and understanding Keywords.
During this time, you will have the opportunity to complete the 'daily checklist' at the bottom of each course. This helps you stay focused and explains what you need to be doing to get the most out of the specific lesson.
I have only explained the first 10 lessons for the 1st course. There are 4 other Certification Courses that range from creating the best content possible, getting traffic, making money and being social. Every course and lesson has valuable information in it that you will benefit from.
The Certification Course is best for people that didn't choose Wealthy Affiliate or making money online as their niche. That's what the Affiliate Bootcamp is for.
The Affiliate Bootcamp Course:
The Affiliate Bootcamp consists of 7 phases with 10 lessons in each phase. The Affiliate Bootcamp course is where you learn exactly what you need to do to be successful at promoting Wealthy Affiliate on your website.
(You can also take the same principles learned and promote other make money online programs).
WA has one of the best affiliate programs on the planet and you can earn recurring commissions when you invite people to WA through your referral link.
How much can you earn?
That's only when you refer 1 person to WA. Imaging if you refer 5, 10, 100 Premium members to WA. You could be earning a fair amount of money.
The Affiliate Bootcamp training helps you decide the right direction for your website. You learn what you need to do and how to do it. You learn how to create great content that will get ranked in search engines. You learn how to find keywords for posts, build a brand, and you even learn how to make the most out of Pay Per Click (PPC) marketing.
There is a lot to learn in the 70 different lessons
Wealthy Affiliate will show you everything you need to do when you go through the training.

Wealthy Affiliate is a community that cares for each other. We help each other and we hope everyone has success.
Considering that, WA allows Premium members to create their own Training that can be a tutorial, video lesson or even a course. This is training that anyone can go through and learn from.

I have the two websites I want to grow as my first 2 niches with Siteground until 2020. I did the 3 year GrowBig deal.
Its A$7.45/month but was around A$180 for 3 years
https://www.siteground.com/shared/step1.htm
QUESTIONS PLEASE:
1. Should I leave them at Siteground forever?
They are top ranked/best affordable hosting per this site: https://mangomattermedia.com/australian-web-hosting/ (very fast servers, officially recommended by WordPress)
2. Should I transfer them to WA only at the end of the deal that I prepaid for (3 years) to around August 2020?
3. OR Should I terminate that and transfer them to WA early (if so how do I get money back from Siteground?)
4. I note that I'd get Privacy Protection and Sitespeed if hosted at WA, are there any other benefits over the hosting at Siteground?
Note I already have OptimizePress 2.0 so don't need to page builder/theme aspects at WA as OP has this covered.
The catch seems to be that, that would lock me into WA US$359 for many years, life? as the administrative effort to go back and lose features at #4 would be a disincentive to ever move right?
