Wealthy Affiliate Review 2017 – Are The Complaints Warranted?

 

 Intro to Wealthy Affiliate

---

It’s a tall task to write a Wealthy Affiliate review because it’s such a vast website with so much going on.

Almost every time I’m on the website I learn something new, which is awesome.

Wealthy Affiliate is owned by two highly successful entrepreneurs named Kyle & Carson and they’ve used their combined experience to create an online training community that is unparalleled. Here’s their picture below.

 

 

Simply put, they’ve created a training system that teaches you how to set up and run a website that makes money from affiliate marketing.

That’s where it starts but that’s only the beginning. It provides you with courses and lessons that will teach you how to start a successful online business.

As you work through the courses you will be building your own website step by step with the guidance of the courses and as you finish each lesson you’ll be given a task to complete.

The courses are in both written and video form.

I love the videos because they are so easy to follow. I’d even say they’re fool proof.

They show you exactly how to do every single step as Kyle(the instructor) is building a website throughout the training right along with you and showing you every step.

Aside from the fantastic training, Wealthy Affiliate is also a huge community of online entrepreneurs.

When you sign in to your account you can chat with other members publicly or privately, much like Facebook actually.

This can be a great way to solve problems if you find yourself stuck on something. You’ll be pleasantly surprised how easy it is to get help from the community.

 

Who Is It For?

---

If your interested in this review even in the slightest, chances are that your considering getting into affiliate marketing.

If that’s something your interested in, then Wealthy Affiliate is a great option for you. In fact probably the best.

Its unique in the sense that it works great for first timers who have zero internet marketing/website building experience and it also works great for people who have lots of experience.

I think to simplify this question I would say that it is ideal for anyone and everyone who is interested in making money online and is willing to work for it.

The more important question is “Who should not join Wealthy Affiliate”?

• You should not join Wealthy Affiliate if you’re not willing to work for your money.
• You should not join if you’re looking for a “Get rich quick scheme”
• You should not join if you aren’t able to commit and stick to something

 

Training & Tools

---

The training for one I believe is the best out there. It is so comprehensive that no details are left our.

You will be walked through step by step written as well as video instructions on how to start, build and design an online business.

The courses that you take here are so well thought out that you just go through one step at a time so that you don’t get overwhelmed.

As you move through the training you get closer and closer to having a complete website set up.

There is absolutely nothing left out so as long as you do exactly what the training tells you to do, you’ll have the perfect foundation for making money by the end of the courses.

Aside from the training the community that comes along with it is absolutely amazing.

I’ve probably learned just as much from the community as I have the training and I’ve learned a lot from the training.

Sometimes I’ll miss something in the training video because I tend to have a short attention span, then I find myself stuck.

When this happens I usually post my question in the public questions section which is an invaluable tool.

Usually within minutes there are multiple people with answers for me. These people are usually available 24/7 and always keen to help.

I also love reading about other members journeys in the affiliate marketing world.

You can go through peoples profiles and read their blogs. Its just really nice to be in contact with like minded people.

A lot of people post their progress on their blogs or profiles so you can follow them and probably even learn from them.

Another reason I think Wealthy Affiliate is different from the others is because it’s free to try. You just go to the website and sign up for free.

Don’t get me wrong, you would benefit from paying for the premium membership, but the fact that you get to try it out first is awesome.

The free trial is no joke either. You have access to a huge amount of training, all of the community and you even get to start your website.

Yes that’s right, you get to build your website without paying a dime.

Trust me, I know this is hard to believe but they have developed a system where you can go through all the website building steps without paying.

If you decide you like the experience and community and you want to take it to the next level, that’s when you can go premium and get even more access to training.

 

Pros & Cons

---

Pros

•  comprehensive training
•  ongoing support
•  free to try
•  task based courses
•  easy to use
•  huge money making potential
•  zero risk
•  private 1-0n-1 chat.
•  no experience necessary
•  new ongoing training every week

 

Cons

•  can look overwhelming if you don’t watch the starter tutorials right upon arrival
•  with the huge community at WA it can be easy to get caught up socializing instead of working
•  the live chat room can get quite busy so your questions can get lost at the bottom
•  there really aren’t many con’s but you might find the odd wealthy affiliate complaints online

Since WA is such a popular program and there are so many members past and present there are bound to be some people saying negative things about it.

It’s important to look at all Wealthy Affiliate complaints as objectively as possible. From what I’ve seen, the majority of the complaints are people saying that they took the training and didn’t make any money.

This is not a surprise because there are a lot of people who join with unrealistic expectations. They think they’ll start making big money right away and that’s simply not the case.

This is a way to build out a real business and no business on earth profits right away. Like any other business, this takes time to build out and you have to start with the foundation and work through the training slowly.

Profits will come to anyone who sticks with it and doesn’t give up. I’ve never heard one person say that they worked at it for a year and didn’t make money.

Giving up is actually the only guaranteed way to not make money from this.

 

What Sort Of Work Will You Be Doing?

---

So before you get too excited about how great Wealthy Affiliate sounds, you should give a lot of thought to whether or not you would enjoy the work and lifestyle it can provide you with.

Of course everyone would enjoy setting their own hours, working anywhere with an internet connection, making lots of money, travelling lots, spending time with family and friends and just living “The Affiliate Lifestyle”.

The question is, would you enjoy what it takes to get “The Affiliate Lifestyle”?

Here’s what you would have to do to get it.

First you would need to go through all the training at Wealthy Affiliate. Once that’s done, you would have a website up and running.

For me it took 1 month to complete all the courses and I probably put in about 3 hours a day, 5 days per week. But you can do this at your own pace.

After your website is set up then the routine can really get started. Your goal at this point is to add content.

You will have a website that is about a niche topic. Whatever that Niche topic is, you’ll have to write about it quite a lot.

You don’t have to write like a pro. Not even close. All you need to do is effectively communicate to your readers just the same way you would tell your friends something.

Its best to just write casually so that its easy for the readers to understand. Your not writing a textbook or a novel.

So that’s it. You just write content as much as you can. You should try to add content at least 2 times per week but the more you add the better.

 

Price

---

Support

---

The support at Wealthy Affiliate is as good as it gets. Both owner’s Kyle and Carsen are online every day to help and support you when you need something.

You can message either one of them at any time and they will always help you out.

The community is also great for technical support regarding your website or WordPress issues.

As for billing and payments, the support is almost flawless. I say almost because after scouring the internet I have found a handful of complaints about billing issues.

These are just a few people who were confused about the billing process and so they decided to post about it online. With over 100,000 members I’d say a handful of complaints is pretty impressive.

 

Final Opinion + Special Bonus

---

Let’s not forget about the “Shameless” complaints that I described in the title of this post.

A lot of people out there are trying to promote specific products that they can profit from so they’re willing to say negative things about the legitimate opportunities.

This is just the nature of the internet. There are honest people and there are crooks but as long as you don’t pay for something before you try it you should be safe from scams.

Not only is Wealthy Affiliate honest but the program is also very affordable because you get so much with a membership. Here are my Star ratings.

In My Own Words

---

So its all written out for you above what you get there but I want to tell you in my own words what you really get aside from whats shown above.

There are live weekly training classes that are ongoing. So even when you are through the lessons and courses, you will still receive ongoing training so you can keep on learning.

That way you can keep moving forward with your business and make it better and better. Just imagine how far along you could be years down the road. I know I get excited thinking about my websites progress.

If you keep making progress then there’s no limit to how much money you can make with this.

The courses that I’ve talked about are really interactive. There’s a questions section you can ask away until your hearts content. They are also very interactive and after every lesson they give you a task to complete.

This allows you to get the right tasks done at the right time.

Of course you go through all the courses at your own pace. Everybody learns differently and that’s why this works for everyone.

 

So for my final thoughts I have to admit that I’m a little biased. I’m biased because I’m a Wealthy Affiliate member and I love it.

I started with Wealthy Affiliate with zero experience in internet marketing, website building or writing. After just a few months I started making money with a fitness website.

I still operate my fitness website and I make a really good living from it with very little work.

I did work very hard the first couple months getting it set up and building the foundation but now I just add 1 or 2 articles a week to it and the money keeps rolling in. I know if I put in more work I can make it profit even more. You truly do get out what you put in.

I made my first dollar after 2 months of hard work.

That may seem like a long time but once I made that first dollar I just kept doing exactly what I did to get there and it started to snowball from there.

Most people I’ve spoken to in the Wealthy Affiliate community say that it took them 6 months before making their first sale so I guess I was lucky to get it so soon and I know if I keep at it I’ll continue to make more and more.

I contribute my success to Wealthy Affiliate as well as my own hard work. There are plenty of other reviews and testimonials of Wealthy Affiliate and you can read them all by clicking here.

My Life Now

---

Now I’m at the point where I want to help others do what I’ve done. It can be so tough to make a living in this day and age and I’ve found myself in a position where I can make a difference.

I can help people do what I did and what I’m still doing.
