Over the next few months, I will cover the different components of Wealthy Affiliate, affectionately known as WA, but in this post, I want to address the Wealthy Affiliate Community and what it is?
The Wealthy Affiliate (WA) community comprises individuals and experts.
After all, why would you want to join a company where you know nothing about the members? Don’t worry; we will discuss building websites, niches, keywords, affiliate marketing, etc., in the coming weeks, but first, let’s talk about the community here.
Membership of Wealthy Affiliate
Over 2 million people have joined WA. Wow, imagine that many people under one umbrella. WA is the largest affiliate marketing community and platform in the world. Something must be right!
Now we know, as with anything, members come and go, but a vast majority are staying and I will tell you why.
Most of this information is geared towards premium members because you get SO MUCH MORE that it is definitely worth being premium, however, you can start for FREE.
Support and Mentorship of Wealthy Affiliate
As a beginner, WA recognizes that you will have questions in your learning journey and is there to provide the answers. Kyle and Carson, the owners, care about your success, and support people directly every day!
Maybe you are having a bad day and need somewhere to vent and get some encouragement.
A live chat facility is available for immediate support. This support is ongoing, 24/7.
Expert Mentoring and Support
You will access several ways to ask questions within the WA platform. You can get help quickly whether you are looking for answers on marketing, Google, SEO, technical help, or a question in general.
Here you will have the opportunity to ‘rub’ shoulders with some of the most successful marketing entrepreneurs in the world:
-
24/7, no matter what part of the world you are in!
-
You will never feel alone – someone is available to answer your questions.
-
Expert help is always available – combined years of expertise are huge and there for you.
-
You will have access to unlimited communication.
-
Website and hosting support in 5 minutes or less (I can speak directly to this as I often need help from tech support and I am constantly amazed at how quickly they address my issues. You won’t receive an email saying that someone will get back to you within 24 hours. They address your issue immediately!).
As a community, it is a ‘pay it forward’ philosophy and you can connect with tens of thousands of industry experts who hang out in WA daily.
Website/WordPress Support
As you build your first website (and we will discuss that in a later post), you are going to have lots of questions, have moments of frustration, and want to scream. Don’t worry. You have a community of websites and technical support to jump in to help you out.
Education
An investment in knowledge pays the best interest. ~ Benjamin Franklin
The education you will gain from being a member is phenomenal and second to none. You will learn what works. You will have all the tools to make you successful like thousands of others before you.
This is what you can expect on your journey:
Once a week, you will have a live class training session with Jay, our lead trainer. They are every Friday evening (depending on your part of the world). Here you will have an opportunity for one hour to learn something new that will benefit you in your online business. At the end of each session, there is a live Q&A period. Can’t make it? No sweat; training sessions are recorded and available in a very short time.
This includes over 300 hours of education, a gold mine of information you don’t want to miss.
There are thousands of training modules at your fingertips. Many community members provide training blogs covering every topic for an online business. Each can be saved and referenced later –you pick and choose what you want to keep.
You will have access to Classrooms, Evolving Daily (12 Classrooms) covering topics such as Facebook ads, e-commerce, AdSense, marketing, SEO, pay-per-click, email marketing, etc.
Content Writing Platform
Do you love to write? If you are new to online marketing, there is a saying that is especially enforced at WA – “Content is King.” This is what drives your ranking in Google. Here you will have a state-of-the-art platform to build your content, track writing goals, and access over 1,000,000 graphics, grammar and spelling checks, plagiarism checkers, and templates.
Incentives
Create Training and Earn Money
As part of this great community, you can develop your training modules and earn revenue. How cool is that? In addition to the satisfaction of earning revenue, you will be helping your fellow members by giving back.
Blogging on the WA Platform
Each of us has our profile blog where you can share experiences and successes online and get ranked for them! Your posts will show up on Google and other search engines. Oh, and in case you were wondering, yes, you can get revenue because if someone sees your blog on Google and decides to become a member, you will get monetary compensation!
Success Stories
Success stories abound every day:
These are just a few success stories – I could give you many more but I think you need to check for yourself.
Conclusion
Becoming a member of WA is like no other platform out there. I have tried a few and there is no comparison.
All of this information is just icing on the cake. There are so many other features available. Watch for future articles on some, including building your website to start your online business.
I am not going to tell you that you are going to make a ton of money here I won’t tell you it is easy money; I won’t try to convince you to join here! But I can tell you that with hard work, time, and commitment, you CAN accomplish what others have. This is NOT a get-rich-quick scam. These success stories all have one thing in common: YOU HAVE TO PUT IN THE TIME!
Just a quick note – there is nothing wrong with being a Starter. Most of us, myself included started here. In my case, I was in my fourth free lesson when I decided to become a Premium. Some members never go Premium and stay a Starter (as a Starter, you are NEVER asked for your credit card information). It is all about YOU and your DESIRES!!
I look forward to seeing you become part of the Wealthy Affiliate community soon.
