It is all too easy to get taken in by all those newsletters .. unsubscribe to those you do not need, as for SEO I would not bother, you have everything you need to know here and Jay's live video's cover just about every aspect. get focused on here, learning and working on your site

It's a sham. Don't pay for that. Their site isn't even mobile optimized. If they don't follow basic SEO principles then you don't want to pay for it. Plus SEO is based off what search engines i.e. Google, Yahoo, and Bing say. Just follow their blogs and stuff like Moz and Searchengineland for true SEO principles and techniques.

"industry endorsed" ? Hmmm.... I would have to investigate if that truly holds water. Do you know any SEO consultants that hold the very same certification? I have taken a ton of them and know that only the ones truly recognized by people earning money doing it are worth anything. I would certainly first check out all WA has to offer before making a decision on that.

I think this is the way to go. It seems very educational and ther is a lot of support here. Try this first and if it doesn't work then maybe look at other options. You can't lose anything here but time and get experience at the same time. I already had too many things going on before I got here unfortunately for me. loco

See Robert has explained it to you

You will have to buy the month and then buy the yearly. Then WA will subtract the amount remaining from the montly that you had paid from the $299. So if you join yearly half way through your payment month $23.50 will be subtracted from $299.

I asked that question too as I worried about the same thing. The information I got back was to buy into the month and then buy annual Black Friday special ... It makes sense. My monthly is on auto renewal here. After I buy into the month gotta remember to remove the auto renewal I think. Never bought Black Friday special myself.

only if you have the persons consent and its a no on here

Unsolicited promotional PMs fall under WA's rules against spamming fellow members. Affiliate links in PMs are also a violation.

1. No unsolicited messages to be sent through private messaging. This will lead to immediate removal of your ability to post anywhere within WA.

7. No adding affiliate links to any blog, training, discussion or private message Spam is a NO NO!

I'm not sure about this one, but my guess is no. Although maybe it is, we'll have to see what others have to say. You should always send people to links of review pages though instead of sending Affiliate links because I don't think the internet likes that in general.

Probably this is not well known and probably it is not significant..

that is interesting to know had not heard of this before thank you for the insights into google

It's ALL about generating traffic...I've been with wealthy affiliate for 4 months and haven't made a dime. I know that doesn't seem very inspiring but it's honesty.

Very true also about Amazon as well, they pay about 4% commission on whatever a person buys. So if they spend 3k well then you did well, if they spend 13 dollars, well that's not so good. I believe it's definitely possible as I got into this gig because I coached an athlete whose brother does it and he told me after a 2 year learning curve, he started making substantial money and last I heard he was making around 30k a month.

From my experience, it's something you will eventually have to dedicate full-time to make it happen, which in my job allows me too but even with the help and time, i'm still not seeing the results needed to continue with the program. I told myself I would give it 6 months of hard work and see what happens.

Disappointed is a nice way of saying how things are going so far. WA is a great program to get you trained up and started though, so there is still some great worth on this site, kinda like taking a college course in affiliate marketing using wordpress.

I know many people won't speak the truth because many want to stay positive but honesty is always best in my opinion and starting in affiliate marketing and trying to get google to like you is a tough road nonetheless. Everyone has different results though, and your niche may make you a millionaire but at the same time it may not.

Hope this helps & Best of Luck to you!
God Bless

The reason a lot of people don't make it online is down to naive expectations. It takes time, dedication and sheer commitment to make a success of it, but it certainly can be done. just don't expect it to happen overnight.

Even the most successful businesses out there often take years to build, you need to treat this the same way, set yourself a realistic goal. Upon joining my first goal was to generate enough income to pay for Wealthy Affiliate out of profit, I'm pleased to tell you I achieved that a while back. If I can do it, so can you.

Thank you for the Like and Follow. If I can be of any assistance, please let me know. William :)

Hi, good blog and good questions...Im afraid Im not one who has made riches but I am starting to make a little more (although 2 months absence hasnt helped)...however I do know of a few people who have made awesome money and given up the day job via WA....but as you say it isnt instant or even quick...most were month 6-12 before it started generating substantial income..and others never make it at all....its about the traffic and from what I gather also building the list. The mailing list from what I see and hear is one of the most important factors...growing your own subscriber list of people who like your sites, like your approach and want to buy stuff from you because of the relationship and trust that has developed. Hope this provides some semi answers or at least gives you some motivation to hang in their and keep going.
