Who Is Wealthy Affiliate?
When I stumbled across Wealthy Affiliate, I had no idea what it was. But I did like what I read, and I am in love with the business values. Because of this, I am going to tell you about Wealthy Affiliate and why it might be for you.
Wealthy Affiliate is a website building platform designed for newbies (beginners) learning affiliate marketing and online business but also for well-seasoned entrepreneurs.
I am going to go into detail later, but first I want to give you a bit of information. I want you to know how incredible the Wealthy Affiliate platform is before I dive deeper into the other benefits.

How Can An Online Business Benefit You?
- FREEDOM-Do you have a boss who dictates your life. You clock in every day and follow orders. Or maybe you are retired and want to travel or make extra income. Or perhaps you want to stay home with those precious babies and always be available when they need you. An online business can offer you the freedom to take control of your life.
- TIME-As, we all know there is never enough time in life to fulfill our dreams and wants. You have to clock into work and spend long hours away from home. When your online business grows, you will have the time you want. You determine your destiny. You are an entrepreneur and in control of your time.
- MONEY-Do you have the age-old problem of no money? No matter how much you work, there is never enough. You need a way to increase your income or grow a nest egg? I could talk about money all day because everyone needs more. With an online business, you can improve your finances and create a passive income from home.
Wealthy Affiliate What Can You Expect?

Why I Call It, "My Wealthy Affiliate"
I am blessed to have stumbled upon an excellent company like Wealthy Affiliate. I named this post “My Wealthy Affiliate” because they are a significant part of my life.
Let’s move on now. We will unlock some aspects of the platform and information that is indeed not a secret to the world of affiliate marketing. Secrets that Wealthy Affiliate will freely share with you.
A Touch Of History
I want to take this moment to introduce you to the co-founders of my Wealthy Affiliate.
Kyle Loudoun and Carson Lim co-founded WA in 2005. They had a dream to help others learn Affiliate Marketing. With their dream to change the world, Wealthy Affiliate began. They offered step-by-step training for the serious-minded person to create an online business.
For the past 15 years, they have continued to improve on the Wealthy Affiliate platform. Each year there are numerous additions to keep the platform competitive and up to date. The world of internet is changing and Wealthy Affiliate will not be left behind.
Wealthy Affiliate is one of the worlds leading website building platforms unmatched by any other company in the industry.
How My Gift And Passion Led To Success In Business
What Is Affiliate Marketing?
Affiliate marketing is a relatively simple process; you become an affiliate (free partner) with companies who sell the products you promote.
With the Wealthy Affiliate training, you will learn how to choose a niche (a passion) and select from 598,500,000 products to promote on your website.
When someone clicks on a link on your site and buys an item, you make a commission from the affiliate company.
Interesting Fact
Did you know that you can create a website in under 3 minutes? You can also choose any niche you like and promote any products that correlate with your niche.
What Is A Niche?
A niche is a passion that moves you, something that you feel so strongly about that you want to help others and change the world with your product or idea. It is like my poetry is and what I talk about in my video.
Or a niche can be something that you have researched and found it to be a lucrative business, such as oral care or juicers or hair care products. But let’s say you don’t know what your niche will be, no problem.
Wealthy Affiliate has numerous training tutorials and videos on how to choose a niche that will fit you well. One of those tools is Jaaxy. And another tool you will learn to use to find a niche in google search.
JAAXY
Not only that, but, you can look at your competition and choose a niche that is just perfect for you. You can find a niche that very few others are promoting. Wealthy Affiliate offers the beginning tool of Jaxxy for all new members to use for the first 7 days, and when you become a premium member.
You will learn how to leverage google as a free keyword research tool also. Your training is extensive to guide you through each process.
The Treasure You Will Find.
I quickly realized WA talks about free membership, but I view it as a 7-day trial to see if it is what you want to do. A 7-day trial or free membership didn’t bother me because I felt that seven days without giving them a credit card was a good deal.
An option such as this gave me time to make a crucial life-changing decision on how I want to spend my money.
Once inside, I did find that I could create my website on a free siterubix.com host, or I could purchase a domain. A domain price is approximately $13 for a year.
In those beginning lessons, I learned more in 5 days than I could find out in 3 years on my own.
First 6 Out Of 10 Lessons That Sealed It For Me
1. Getting Rolling!
The first lesson is an overview of WA and the platform where you will learn how to navigate the entire site and use all of the tools. You will also receive a quick look at how you will create success.
2. Understanding How to Make Money Online
With the second lesson, your understanding of Affiliate Marketing will expand. You will increase your knowledge of your choice of affiliate partners.
3. Choose a Niche
You will learn how to choose your niche, a passion, or preferred products that you can use to create your online business.
4. Building Your Niche Website
A step-by-step training with video and full written instructions on building your website. You sill create a beautiful responsive website in under 3 minutes.
5. Setting Up Your Website
You will set up and learn to navigate the back office (design side) of your website in 3 easy steps taught by the co-founder of Wealthy Affiliate, Kyle. The back office is where you can further design your website business.
Learn how to get noticed on Google. Set your business up, so Google is proud to show it to the world.
The Turning Point For Me
After listening to the way, Kyle had set up each teaching and what an incredible teacher he is, I didn’t need to hear more to make my decision.
My wealthy affiliate had become a part of my life, and I have never looked back.
Inside Wealthy Affiliate as a premium member, you will have access to 120 lessons as well as live weekly webinars and thousands of training sessions provided by other members.
Your resources for learning will never end.
Comparison Chart Of WA Features
I am sure by now; you are wondering how much this will cost and what you will have access to when you step inside. Please click the Comparison chart link for a comprehensive chart to answer your questions.
This chart is an excellent tool to compare free membership with the premium.
World-Class Time-Tested Platform? What Did I find?
I saw a community built on the “pay-it-forward” principle. I grew to love the kindness and helpfulness of individuals just like myself, who were creating an online business in the internet world.
With my 7-day trial membership, I had access to all of the blogs posted within the community and 90% of the premium platform.
The WA community had some of the most incredible experts I had ever met. I knew if I became a premium member, I would have full access to extensive training, private messaging, and live chat.
When I decided to move up, I acquired unlimited ability to ask a question at any time. Wealthy Affiliate is an international company. Someone is always awake in the world at all times. With my premium subscription, receive answers and technical support within minutes.
I had 24/7/365 day support for my website. Some companies take up to 24 hours to answer a question. When your website is visible to the world, 24 hours feels like a lifetime.
Wealthy Affiliate The Hardcore Truth
Do You Need Money?
Money is for almost everyone. We all want money or need money or like money. But the question here is; Is Wealthy Affiliate the type of place for you. It’s not for everyone. It’s not a get rich quick scheme.
Wealthy Affiliate is a treasure and a blessing for anyone who wants to put forth the effort and time to create an online business.
Do you want to be proud of the work you put in for the gain you receive? Then WA may be for you.
The only way for you to know for sure is to step inside and start your training.
Will you make money in the first month. Probably not.
There is a step-by-step process to grow and become the owner of your business.
Do you want to be an entrepreneur?
Do you want to determine how you spend your time and tell your boss goodbye?
Then Wealthy Affiliate may be what you have been missing.
But if you are looking for a way to make money fast and do little to no work for it, then WA is not for you. If you are looking for someone to do the job for you, then WA is not for you.
But if you want to be proud of the work you put in for the gain you receive? Then WA is for you.
Summary Of Wealthy Affiliate
- Wealthy Affiliate is a company that has tested the hands of time for 14 years and continued to grow.
- The training is unparalleled to none, extensive and thorough.
- The community support is incredible and available 24/7/365.
- You have the opportunity to try it out for seven days before you decide to become premium, or you can log out and walk away.
- It gives you a sense of accomplishment and pride in the work you produce
- And with your effort, you can look forward to resigning from your job to work from home. You can make a lucrative and passive income to build a legacy for generations to come.
The decision is yours. But once you step inside the Wealthy Affiliate platform, please be sure to give us a bit of information about yourself in the bio and post a photo of yourself. Your bio and photo will help all of us connect with you and allow the community to welcome you.
Bonus
I have a bonus for you when you become a premium member within the first seven days. I will give you a 59% discount for the first month. That is an incredible deal for only $19 the first month.
I totally agree with your review. I think WA is great. Of course, nothing is really perfect, so it might have some little faults. But I’ve been around the internet marketing space for a long time and to be honest I rarely have seen a course or program that stands the test of time, and Wealthy Affiliate has done it thus far!
Awesome post.
Regards!
Well said, my friend. Wealthy Affiliate is a time-tested world-class platform with honesty and integrity. I started over a year ago and have never looked back.
Hallo there Laura,
You have a very insightful and pretty detailed review of the wealthy affiliate platform here. I have to say thank you for expounding on the many aspects of it which I really wanted to know about. I also stumbled upon it a few years ago and joined without even knowing what it was about. And I didn’t care much about it. However, a few months ago I gained interest in it and wanted to know what it’s about. Now I think I am ready to work with it for my financial freedom. Thanks for letting me know everything useful about it. I really appreciate.
Dave, I have heard this very same story so many times. Many people do not see the value until later. It is sad and good at the same time. Sad because they have wasted precious time. And good because they found their way back and saw how incredible the platform is.
Hi, Again, Laura. While I was on your site, I checked out some of your other blogs. Your Wealthy Affiliate review is fascinating.
There aren’t too many affiliate marketing platforms on the internet that provide a decent way to build a respectable online income.
You can find different places, but most are a scam, or they don’t provide you with enough training, or you are continually paying for upgrades. The whole experience of looking for the right platform can be a nightmare.
Wealthy Affiliate sounds so trustworthy. I think I will check it out to see what you are saying. Jim
Hi Jim, thanks for taking a look around. I would love to meet you on the inside of the Wealthy Affiliate platform. I know once you start the training you will see what an incredible place it is, and you will love it.
Hello Laura, thanks for putting up this excellent post. There are lots of people out there who have a great passion for making money online but have no idea how to go about it. Wealthy affiliate is one of the best ways to develop an online business in affiliate marketing. They help you build a market that is satisfying for your needs, and you can make money in the process. I love the way the Wealthy Affiliate system operates. It gives you so much opportunity and tools to grow at your own pace.
You are right about the opportunity and growth. Wealthy Affiliate allows a person to set up their business and work on it while they do a full-time job. Then when you have established your business, you can leave your job for a better life with affiliate marketing. It is an incredible opportunity.
This post sums it all up! I’m personally a Wealthy Affiliate member and I love it! Now that I think about it, the first time I was able to create an online business that survived past 3 months was at Wealthy Affiliate. My tip to all beginners is that it’s a lifestyle change. You have to love the marketing process to be successful, otherwise blogging and affiliate marketing will become the same as the full-time job you hate. Has being at WA made you fall in love with the process as well?
Kevin, Oh yes, I am addicted to affiliate marketing because of the incredible training and support I have received here at Wealthy Affiliate. Ther is no other platform that compares.
I, too, have found Wealthy Affiliate to be beneficial and informative. My favorite aspect is the support – it is quick and always helpful, and I know I can count on it to fully answer my questions.
Your article is hugely informative to those who are new to Wealthy Affiliate or perhaps have not visited it at all. I especially enjoyed how you laid out the components and described them. You are so right in all of your assessment of Wealthy Affiliate. I hope so many more see your post because I have found Wealthy Affiliate to be an incredible platform.
Thank you. My Wealthy Affiliate review was so easy to write because I believe every word in this article. I wish so many more would see the value also.
This article is ah-may-zing. It is incredibly thorough. Most sites that try to cover Wealthy Affiliate don’t do the best job, but you managed to go over the essential parts without adding a lot of unnecessary items. I also really admire that you tried this for three years without having the needed resources, but you still didn’t give up.
Thank you for your kind words and admiration. I didn’t want to give up, and when I found Wealthy Affiliate, I felt it was a Godsend. I have learned so much from WA.
Hi, Laura,
As you know I am already a member of Wealthy Affiliate. I am lucky I work alongside you, inside Wealthy Affiliate. You are always there to help me when I need it. Thank you for that. I so appreciate you!
This review you have done is spot on. Wealthy Affiliate is an amazing place to learn from. It just goes to show what we can achieve your website is looking amazing. It is so true inside Wealthy Affiliate we are given so much training.
Even when we cannot code or do HTML or CSS it is proof of what we can achieve just by looking at your website. I would urge anyone to join Wealthy Affiliate it is the best thing I have ever done. We don’t even need marketing experience as we are taught everything we need to grow successful online businesses.
I have been with Wealthy Affiliate since November 2016. I have the pleasure of watching people grow their online businesses. It is amazing to watch any newbie grow there businesses and end up making full-time incomes from it. You are amazing. I am happy to be a part of your network.

My Kindest Regards Debs 🙂
Debs, I know what you are saying. I do get so excited when I talk about Wealthy Affiliate. The platform has everything I need, and the community is incredible. I mean just look at you. You came to my site to read and leave a comment. You rock!!! Wealthy Affiliate offers such extensive training along with a group of like-minded people who want to see others succeed.
And setting up a website is easy with the platform and training. Thanks Debs.
Dear Laura,
Thanks for the informative and details packed post on Wealthy Affiliate.
To share my own experience…
I am a fan of Wealthy Affiliate… And its the genuine and awesome program I came across online. I lost a lot of many trying many programs and when I joined WA on November 2016 I was skeptical and was afraid.
To cut the long story short…
I am still with WA and because of WA I am a full-time blogger working from home (Since December 2017).
I am happy you are guiding people in the right path towards a genuine program which changed many lives.
Wishing you great success!
Paul
Paul, thank you for stopping by and reading my post. You are a great testimony to the incredible platform Wealthy Affiliate has to offer. I am truly blessed to be a member also.
Laura
Great review of Wealthy Affiliate!
I love your transparency and honesty about the program and your experience. I think being transparent is key to helping others make an informed decision.
I’m still new at Wealthy Affiliate but have learned SO much from the training I’ve completed up to this point. The training is so easy to follow even for those who have no idea how to build a website which was me in the beginning. This platform is like no other and I am truly greatful to be apart of it.
Kind regards
Christine
Thank you Christine. I agree I love Wealthy Affiliate. I have learned so very much and progressed rapidly because of the easy to follow training.
Laura
Wow, that was all the inspiration I need for the rest of 2018! Wealthy Affiliate is, hands down, the top of the line when it comes to online passive income. The training is superb, the community is supreme, and Laura, you wrote an absolutely spectacular and honest representation of what Wealthy Affiliate is all about!
I appreciate having read this. Thank you, Laura. You really have inspired me to continue pursuing greatness, as you will many people in the future!
Dom, Thank you so much. You just made my day. so kind of you to stop by and visit. Wealthy Affiliate is the absolute best.
This is such a wonderful site for Wealthy Affiliate! If I wasn’t a premium member already, I would have came in through this invitation for sure!
I had bad experiences, luckily I did not loose any money, but they were just one right after the other, then I came across Wealthy Affiliate. I felt the same as you, right at home.
Thank you for the wonderful read, and I hope you get the message out as to how wonderful WA is and all that you can do for yourself here too!
Oh yes Stacie, There are so many schemes out there. Wealthy Affiliate is the real thing. thanks for your comment.
I have been a member of wealthy affiliate for more than a year now and I am thoroughly enjoying my time within the community.Wealthy affiliate training is quite easy to follow for any age group and background.What I like most about this is you can create a thriving business on any topic.
Thanks for stopping by. You are so right about Wealthy Affiliate. It is for beginners and novice alike. Continue to enjoy your journey.
Laura
I am definitely glad to have joined Wealthy Affiliate a couple years ago. Before, I always thought that I would never be able to build a blog that gets decent traffic to it. I always thought that the more established popular blogs out there would beat me if I ever tried to join their ranks. It didn’t help having people say that someone else is already doing it.
I am glad that the course is helping me get traffic to my website and look forward to many more years doing so.
Did people ever tell you the same thing they told me? “You won’t be able to compete with more established bloggers”.
Jessie
Jessie, I know what you mean. It is scary to think about setting up a website and blogging. But it is soooo easy to do following the teaching of Kyle. And the tools that are available to us to drive free traffic to our sites is incredible. I do love Wealthy Affiliate and what I can accomplish here.
Laura
I have heard a little bit about Wealthy Affiliate and I have been doing some more research to find out if this is a legit way to make money online. My first question for you is about the free account. Can you explain a little more about this? You mentioned a 7 day trial period, is that what this free account is? I am definitely interested in checking out the free membership and take a look around, but if there are upsells after that, I may be out. So many of these platforms bring you in for a low introductory price and then get you with the upsells. Thanks for sharing your honest opinion, I appreciate it. I look forward to hearing back from you.
Steve,
I would love to explain more. You can sign up to Wealthy Affiliate on a free account. You can set up 2 websites under the site rubix platform. You will have access to the first 10 lessons of the niche set up and the affiliate program. That is a total of 20 lessons. Kyle one of the owners does all of the teaching and he is incredible. You can stay with the free site if you like or you can upgrade to premium for $29 the first month and $49 monthly thereafter or yearly which offers a discount.
I used the term 7 day trial because I do not think you would be very successful if you stayed on the free plan. The premium plan offers so much more teaching and support as well as 50 websites and 50 plus training sessions. With premium you get full support and ability to private message other members of the group. You also have access to training produced by experienced WA members. It is an unbeatable deal.
The price is incredible for what is included. If you are interested I will be happy to send you a comparison chart outlining the difference.
I guess you could consider the premium an up-sale. I did not because it is one of the best offers in the industry. After that you can pay for premium plugins and things like that but none of those are crucial to your business and making money. Wealthy Affiliate does not require any of these nor do they make money off of them.
Thank You Steve. If I can help to answer further questions please let me know.
Laura
I have been with Wealthy Affiliate for 3+ years now and love them.
The community is awesome. Everyone helps out and being able to contact Kyle and Carson on the fly is totally worth it. They have both helped me numerous times.
A lot of people don’t realize how essential it is to have good web hosting. One thing that I love is their web hosting. Managed WordPress hosting for $300/year (I purchase on Black Friday).
Sites are super fast with Wealthy Affiliate. They use Amazon Cloud web hosting and you can host 25 websites on their servers.
However, I know your happy with Wealthy Affiliate. Is there anything you would like to see added to their training. Possibly something that would make them even better?
Garen,
That is really good information. Thank You.
I don’t usually think of anything to add to training because I search the training and usually find what I need. If I don’t then I ask a question of the community and it is quickly, professionally and kindly answered.
This is the beauty of Wealthy Affiliate.
Laura
This has to be the best most beautifully written explanation of Wealthy Affiliate that I have come across.
It is genuine and very credible because you have written honestly about your own experience of it.
I hope you do really well with your blog and poetry within WA and soon have more traffic than you could dream of. You might well become a modern Rudyard Kipling. . Yours is a review I would like to share with others thinking about joining WA.
Thank you for sharing
Oh My Judy, Rudyard Kipling, what a compliment. Thank You so much. I love Wealthy Affiliate and I know I will go far with what they have provided for me.
Again, thank you. I so appreciate you comment.
Laura
I love the name of your post “My Wealthy Affiliate”. I don’t think you’ve missed a thing, I have been looking into this program and everyone seems to have such great things to say. I love that people are helping people, you can’t figure something out? Ask and there is always someone there to help out. Great post thanks for all the information.
You are welcome. My pleasure. If you need further assistance deciding on the program please let me know. Here at Wealthy Affiliate we do love helping with the moto Kyle and Carson set down of “pay it forward”
Laura
Wealthy affiliate is certainly the best platform to learn about affiliate marketing and make money online. I have been a member of wealthy affiliate for last one year and enjoying my time within the community and learnt so many stuff that helped me to earn couple f hundrend dollars per month as of now. I would recommend to everyone who wants to start a career in online or want to work from home.
It is work and takes focus and discipline. But it is worth every bit of it. The friends and family I have met here are like no other. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
Laura
