Who Is Affiliate Marketing For?

owl-The Wealthy Affiliate Scam

The great thing about affiliate marketing is anyone can do it regardless of location, education, or formal or past knowledge of affiliate marketing. You can put in as much time as you want and work from anywhere you want. You can do this part-time or create a full-time income for yourself.

It doesn’t matter if you’re a stay-at-home mom, a college/high school student, retired, unemployed, an actor, musician, or doctor, already have a full-time job or in between jobs. You can even make affiliate marketing your full-time gig.

The-Wealthy-Affiliate-Scam-Review-Who-is-it-for

The only thing you need to start aside from a computer and internet access is an understanding of how affiliate marking works, products or services to promote, a platform (website and web hosting) to promote those products or services and the willing to learn and apply what you learn.

That Wealthy Affiliate program sounds like a good one. I have tried a few other things before like paid surveys and drop shipping. But I have come to the conclusion that affiliate marketing is the easy business model for me. But it’s how to do it so it gives results that is the drag.

Looks like this program can really help. Look quite simple to to follow. Maybe I will take a look.

Collins · April 6, 2017 at 5:38 pm

This is another powerful affiliate program. i heard it before but this is the time i have got much insight.

i really like the helping aspect since you will not get stuck. that is the most stressful part.

thanks for your in-depth review, i will give a try since there is no obligation to become a premium.

I wanted to make money online however, I never understood other programs and how they exactly made money. Most of the online money making programs look like a scam since I end up making nothing and only losing money to their membership fees.
Did you understand the training at WA or was it difficult to understand in the beginning and later you got the hang of it?

    Greg · April 4, 2017 at 1:45 pm

    Thanks for the comment and question Shrey.

    I got the hang of it pretty quickly, but I’ve been using WordPress and most of the other things they go over for a long time. I learned a lot and the training is on going with weekly live videos. I can see if someone is new to most of this stuff it’ can be a little overwhelming. They break it down into small chunks with the lessons and once you get over the learning curve, you’ll be on your way.

    I would recommend signing up for the free starter membership and test it out.

Paulina · April 4, 2017 at 8:30 am

Great article! Usually the first thing I do when I want to check if something is a scam I go to reviews like yours and see if my feeling are right. It’s scary sometimes to ‘jump in the cold water’ without any knowledge about the program, but your review really gives a overall view of what WA is, and as you said the community at WA is amazing and very supportive, which is very helpful for new beginners that want to start an online business.

Sharon Whyte · April 4, 2017 at 6:56 am

Hi Greg,
Wow what a thorough review you have here and it really is everything you say in the video and what is here on your post. Wealthy Affiliate really over deliver in tools and training and the community and support is like nothing I have seen. The fact you can check it out for free speaks volumes. Great article Greg!
Cheers, Sharon

    Greg · April 4, 2017 at 7:15 am

Sharon Whyte · April 4, 2017 at 6:55 am

I just signed up.

    Cool, I’ll contact and meet you inside. Talk to you soon.

Jake · April 4, 2017 at 5:19 am

It really can’t hurt to give it a try. If you start with a free account, you can get an idea of what it has to offer and if it’s something you really want to do. I went for the premium pretty soon after joining, as I found the free content useful, but wanted a little bit more.

    Greg · April 4, 2017 at 5:27 am

    Yes, there’s nothing to lose. I joined as a premium member shortly after as well.

    Thanks for the comment Jake.
