Is Wealthy Affiliates REALLY FREE?
When Michelle & I started this journey to look for a way to make money online, we wanted as newbies a system/program that would guide us through the process.
When you google make money online for free there are hundreds of options. However, they did not seem to offer a long term solution to income generation. I have been around the block several times and didn't want a stop gap solution.We found several systems that cost a lot of money, at least for us it was a lot of money. One cost $2500, another $1750 and there were many at $499 then $97 a month. We could see that if the system provided some solid ongoing information that would assist us in developing a business, then maybe if we were earning money it would be worth the investment. We did try the $2,500 and the $1,750 programs. BIG MISTAKE.
Why not buy an expensive program ?
We were looking for a suitable program for three years. All of the ones we found, and there were many, did provide good information and knowledge, but there were always areas that were not covered (we found this out later).
Make sure you know what's in your cart before you spend your hard earned money.
When the cart didn't have everything in it, there was always additional money required to fill in the gaps.
Some were just not put together simply enough for us to understand their system. I'm not new to the computer business. I have been a webmaster for several non-profit sites over the last 15 years. I just didn't have the marketing knowledge.
Free To Start
Many were free to start, 30 days maybe 90 days, and when you are still working a job and trying to learning something new that time goes very fast. At the end of the time period you have to front up with the money to continue.
The system I mentioned with a basic cost of $2,500 did give a lot of knowledge and ideas, but the thrust of the program was to invest an additional $7,500 to reach a level then another $25,000 to go further up the ladder, all in the promise of earning higher commissions. OUCH!When you are new at something, at least for me, I take a while to fully understand the concepts. Wealthy Affiliates allows you to work from home, at your own pace and teach/develop the skills you need to make money online. There is no limit to the time you stay as a Free member.

Hi Rob and Michelle. Thanks for your insights. WA definitely has lots of benefits that the others don't. It cost me a lot of money as well. Before I found WA I tried out several others, none were cheap and none had the training levels of WA. Jim
Thanks kindly for sharing your most interesting blog -
- however, given the type of content -- it's material better suited for your website? ... just a thought ...
... all the best for every success, cheerio... 😊 ...
Hi Keisha,
Yes I did eventually put it on my website, but found out that is a no no, I just copied and posted it.
Also all my posts to the WA site had sales links.
So I have removed all these and hopefully I've figured out what is a website and what is a blog,
Thanks for getting me on the right track
Rob
... just a wee lil' nudge as 'promos' are for your website to the audience outside of WA ...
... and yes, careful with 'duplicate' posts -- not allowed as search engines will eventually pick it up and cause a potential 'block' of your site for 'copying' ...
... best to re-tweak any 'similar' text ...
... remember pretty much everything is 'live' on the internet -- especially after the 'publish' button is clicked ... off it goes!
hope it all works out for you ... cheerio... :)
Thank you. I won’t be doing the copy and paste exercise again. I’ll go and change the posts over the next couple of days. Appreciate your advice. I do need lots of it.
Rob
you're most welcome! ... and it's all ok -- we're all learner bee-ees here! ... simply keep moving onward & upward to success -- you're getting there!
cheerio... 😊

Putting money into these online schemes is so risky. It seems like a fishing they make all these promises and the next thing is you get hooked into upsells. I have lost way too much money. With WA, the learning curve is the best I have seen. I wish you all the best. Knowledge is power.
