Wealthy Affiliate – Legit or Just Another Online Scam?
Are you wondering if Wealthy Affiliate is legit or an online scam? If so, you are in the right place. Read on as I reveal exactly what this program entails.
Wealthy Affiliate is a program that teaches you how to build niche websites based on your passions/hobbies and make money through recommending related products and making a commission from each sale.
HOWEVER even though it is free to get started with Wealthy affiliate (WA), in order to get access to all the tools and training you need to build a successful business, you must upgrade to Premium membership for $47/month or $359/year.
For instance, after the first 7 days, you lose access to 1-on-1 coaching and the ability to communicate with and get help from 100,000’s of Internet marketers (with all types of expertise) in the WA community unless you upgrade.
In addition, once you upgrade to Premium membership, you can never downgrade to Free membership for good. If you miss your payments, you lose complete access to your WA account and any websites you have created! Many people realize this fact when its too late. These have been the main complaints by Wealthy Affiliate members.

How Does Wealthy Affiliate Work?
You’ve probably heard of various ways to ‘make money online’ before, with the likes of Facebook, eBay, Twitter, Surveys and Forex appearing in most recommendations. But the issue with most of these methods is they only really work for the more advanced customer.
Wealthy Affiliate works in 4 simple steps:
- Choose an interest – this could be a passion or a hobby like mountain climbing, photography etc. This will be the start of your idea for your website. If you are stuck WA has pre-selected topics and ideas on how to narrow down your topic.
- Build your website using the designs and templates provided within Wealthy affiliate.
- Get visitors to your website – without people seeing your website, you have no business. WA teaches you a wide range of traffic techniques to get your website ranking on major search engines like Google, Yahoo and BING.
- Earn revenue – once you have traffic, you can join affiliate programs related to your website topic and promote their products. You make a commission any time someone buys something through your affiliate link.
It takes you on average about 2 -4 hours to create a website, and this includes everything from researching a niche, keyword research to finding a product to promote (if you follow the steps correctly). After this, it really is all systems go…
Each site will differ in the amount of money that you will make. The program will teach you how to tweak your sites so that you can make even more money. Once you find a niche that works, you simply build more niche sites to increase your income on autopilot.

Can You Make Money With Wealthy Affiliate Or Is It A Scam?
If you apply the teachings of the Wealthy Affiliate course consistently, you can earn a good income each month from this system. You may need to read through the course a few times though because it is an extensive guide into niche and keyword research, finding affiliate products to promote and how to set up your own website.
HOWEVER, a lot of people have asked me whether there is another way of making money online WITHOUT having to build websites and rank them on Google, Bing or Yahoo.
One reason is because search engines like Google keeps changing its algorithm for ranking websites therefore you have to watch and wait patiently for Google to get your website to Page 1 before you get a good amount of traffic and start making money (which can take a few weeks to months in many cases). You have to consistently tweak your websites to keep them on the front page of Google too.
Other people simply don’t have the time or patience to build small niche sites and want to make money online Fast.

Why Most People Fail To Make Money Online Successfully
The sad reality is that 97% of those who get started in an online business (including Wealthy Affiliate) are likely to fail.
The fact is that most people fail online for 2 main reasons:
a) Incorrect Mindset – Since the business is operated at home, most people don’t treat it seriously as they would a bricks and mortar business.
b) Improper marketing strategies – many people don’t have a successful traffic and conversion strategy that provides a blueprint for online success.
The simple fact is that you NEED traffic if you want to be successful online because traffic is the lifeblood of your online business. Without traffic you have no leads, and no chance of making a sale and acquiring customers.
The good news is that there are people who are legitimately making great incomes online every single month. Here are a few examples:
The Facebook Testimonials below are from real users.
These people all have one thing in common. They all have 3 pillars aka insider secrets in their online businesses that have contributed to their success…
If you want to be among the 3% who are successful in making money with Wealthy Affiliate or any other online business, you absolutely MUST have these 3 things in place.

How far along should you be in your training before you switch to premium. Can you start making money without going premium? Can anyone give me a breakdown of how they started their business and switched to the premium if they are making money doing this? I’m really anxious to hear from someone who stayed in the free section vs. premium and the money that was made and how long it took them to get up and running? I look forward to working with all of you that have been successful in this business.
Cheryl, please send your question to Wealthy affiliate community or blog (I am not part of WA). Am sure there will be an existing member willing to answer your questions.
I was not over impressed with Wealthy Affiliate. At the time I upgraded, as for support for me it was non excitant. I could not get a reply from Kyle or Carson. I got stuck on stage 5 and having paid for their program and website; it is not helpful to be left on your own with no support.
This program may work for some, and for others it is not worth their valuable time.
don’t have a website thus, i have nothing to sell therefore i need to resign myself from this program i have nothing against it, it just doesn’t work for me, i have no products and i have to get out of it, thanks for understanding if you can assist in that or show me how it would be appreciated

How is it that they say you can go premium then cancel anytime and back as a Free Wealthy Affiliate Member?
I call BS on this one because I did go premium and wanted to go back as a free member and I cannot get back in unless I pay for premium again. They also say that people would be able to contact them if you need answers, again a load of BS because I was trying to get answers before I canceled my premium membership and I also have tried a few more times after that. Nobody gets back to you because they don’t care as long as their making money off of you. I also done their little tasks they say they want you to do and get feedback from the community, again BS because I did that as well and got nothing back.
Yes, I find that quite sneaky too Terence… that once you upgrade to Wealthy Affiliate premium you cannot go back to being a free member for good.
