Thanks for downloading my free guide, The Beginner's Blueprint for Making Money Online

What you’re about to learn are the strategies of real internet entrepreneurs who earn full-time incomes online.  

These are the exact strategies taught to me, and the ones I use to earn a recurring income stream online. I hope you get from them what I have... and take action to begin your new journey online.

Let’s dive in…

I also thought it was too late. That I had missed out on the internet rush.

In late 2014, the economy for my industry started to slow down.  With more down-time between projects, I did something I had wanted to do since my very first time online… in 1996.

I built my first website. Unfortunately, I had no idea what I was doing, or how to make money with it.

It wasn’t until a year later when a friend and co-worker was doing a house renovation on Vancouver Island. He noticed the owner was always home, so asked him, “what do you do?”

Online marketing was his reply. When my friend told me this story a week later, it was all I needed.

To make a long story short, that was the moment that led me here. What I learned (and what I do) is what I’m going to show you today in this guide.

Even before I built my first website, I wanted to help others who were struggling like I was. I knew there had to be others going through what I was, and wishing they could "find a way out". 

​

In my case...

• I knew the economic “good times” wouldn’t last forever. And I also knew that my run of “knowing the right people and being in the right place at the right time” would eventually come to an end.
• I hated being dependent on a company I had zero control over, and even worse… the ever-changing management who picked favorites.
• I wanted to be home. I was spending 70%, and sometimes 80%, of my life in a camp up north and NOT with my family. It was the little things I felt were important, like driving my daughters to school everyday.
• I NEEDED to live life on my own terms.

So, even before my first website, I decided, if I ever figured out how to build an online business, I’d share it with others… because I sure wish someone had shared it with me.

This is not just a make-money guide. For those who take action, it will be a life-changing journey that goes far beyond a few extra dollars in your pocket.

For me, being at home with my family is not just a benefit to me. It changes all of our lives in a very profound way.

That’s why I created this guide. I want to share what I’ve learned so you can change your life (and maybe your family's too), and avoid a lot of the frustration (and wasted money) I went through.

There’s more to this journey I discovered along the way. I also found a huge community of support that really makes the difference. Online experts in different fields that I can reach out to for help whenever I need them.

​

Since you're reading this, which means we now have a connection, you also have access to this community.

What I used to believe was a “secret circle”... is really a massive community of people like you (and me) who are all learning from one another and making our dreams a reality.

If you’ve been frustrated like I was, you can stop. With what I’m going to show you, no longer will you have to worry about being scammed, or paying big money on products that promise a lot and deliver little.

This guide is about building a long-term and sustainable business that is completely independent of any single product, system, or company.

You will build a diversified business that is completely your own, in any area of interest you choose… and it will eventually generate a passive income for many years to come.  

​

A Real Online Business Takes Real Time and Effort To Build (Just like Any Business).

From pyramid schemes of the past, to the scams online today… we’ve been conditioned to think that making big money must come easy.

Even the online guru’s who tell you it takes hard work, will in the same breath tell you how they made millions with a single email.

I promise you there is no such thing.

When someone shows you “income proof” of the 100K they made online… what they’re not showing you is the 100K they also spent on advertising. The years of trial and error. 

And that’s if they’re not using photoshop to fake it.

In fact, any of those businesses that make promises like 60 days to 10K, or 7 steps to 100K, etc. are not telling you one critical piece of the puzzle until the last minute (after you’ve already paid for your membership).

They all depend on paid traffic that will cost you thousands.

Building an online business follows the same proven principles used by successful business owners throughout the ages. You reap what you sow.

In other words… there is no opportunity where you can put zero in and get something out.

Understanding Your Financial Goals

I want to be clear. You CAN make millions of dollars with the principles you’ll learn in this guide… as your foundation.

What you can’t do is take this guide, push a few buttons, and get rich.

To use an example, I can show you how to play a guitar… “hold it like this, put your left hand here, and your right hand there… etc.”

But with that knowledge you still won’t be able to play the guitar. You must pick it up and learn.

Building an online business is no different. You are learning a new skill. This guide will not make you a millionaire, it’s the skills you develop as result of following this guide that can one day make you rich.

In fact, if you only focus on making money, you will probably fail. If you’re only here to make money, you will probably fail.

IF HOWEVER, you are here to learn and develop the skills to build an online business that makes millions of dollars… you will succeed.

So… the mansions, the yachts and my favorite… fast cars, are nice to dream about. But getting into this with the goal of becoming a millionaire (especially in a short period of time) is a bad way to start.

• You are setting yourself up for disappointment.
• It won’t come fast enough, and you’ll get shiny object syndrome… wasting your money on every tool and program that comes your way.
• You will overlook and minimize your smaller successes.
• And… the truth is, you don’t need a million dollars to completely change your life.

Treat Your Business Like A Real Business, and It Will Be A Real Business.

There are a lot of similarities between a bricks and mortar business, and one that is online…

But one area where they are not the same, is the start up cost.

What I’m going to be showing you here is a way for you to start absolutely FREE… but here’s the problem. People don’t take FREE seriously… and as a result, their online business never becomes a serious business.

My suggestion is to take what you learn in this guide (as well as the free tools I’ll introduce you to) and build your business as if you just paid $100,000 to start it. If you had six-figures on the line, would you take your business seriously? 

If you treat your business like a real business, it will be a real business…

Let’s get started…

A Bird’s Eye View of The Process 

​

It’s strange to imagine that not long ago, I was trying to figure out how to make money online.

Today, I can a name dozens of ways… from ecommerce or freelancing, to ranking websites in Google and renting them out. There are many ways.

But I’m going to show you the best way. (I’ve tried several others and have concrete reasons to say this is the best… one of those reasons being cost).   

The best way is to start by building a website (Don’t worry… it’s point and click, and takes a matter of minutes to build). 

But not just any website. A "niche" website about something you are passionate about and/or have an interest in learning.

I’ll use cats in this example (have two of them and one of them is trying to get up my lap as I’m writing now).

​

So, for this example we’ll say you’re a cat lover, and you’d like to have a website that talks about cats.

In fact, we’ll narrow it down even further. One of my cats is diabetic… which makes our topic of cats narrow, but also unique. This is called a micro-niche.

So you’ve got your website about diabetic cats, and one things thing about cats with diabetes is they are constantly thirsty.

(The minute I walk towards the kitchen (or washroom) she flies past me, a black & white streak of lightning, and leaps up onto the sink. Why her water bowl isn’t good enough… I have no idea.) :-D 

Anyway…  here you are with your website and you know you’re not the only person with a diabetic cat. You also know people are searching on Google everyday for ideas, solutions, and sometimes just a voice who can share a similar situation.

There are hundreds (if not thousands) of cat related products, books, videos, services such as grooming and so on…

But let’s go back to your cat who is always thirsty.

​To explain affiliate marketing, I’ll share a quick “offline” example.

A couple years ago I bought a new vehicle and the service was outstanding, so I went online and gave them a glowing review and a recommendation.

Not long after I received a $50 Visa gift card in the mail with a note, from the dealer, thanking me for the positive review.

I gave them a positive review because they deserved it. They were happy because it could potentially bring new business (and make their job easier).

I was happy… who doesn’t want an extra $50!

And… maybe someone out there read my review and received the same great service I did. A win-win-win.

If you can imagine a way of turning that “offline” situation into an online business… the result is affiliate marketing.

And the way it’s works is by getting what’s called an “affiliate link” when you sign up for affiliate programs such as Amazons in our previous example.

I don't like to sell either (although I did it for more than 10 years... which is why I can tell you how much I don't like it).

So... let me put your mind at ease…

You do NOT have to sell anything.

In fact, affiliate marketing works best when you’re not selling.

You may not realize it… but chances are, you’re an expert at something. Maybe you have a passion for guitars, board games, or herbal tea… (I could use any example... they all apply).

Whatever your interest is, there are people out there who do not know as much about it as you do… and they want to learn.

Through product reviews, tutorials, recommendations… you are simply helping people.

Think about it. If guitars were your thing and I asked you where I should buy one, you’d not only tell me about your favorite place… but you’d probably ask me questions about what I was looking for.

I’d ask you about different types of guitars, and what brand you would recommend…

That’s what affiliate marketing is.  

You can almost say it’s the glue that holds the web together.

One of the reasons the internet is so rich and full of great content and information is because companies like Amazon (Apple, Etsy, the NFL and literally thousands of others) have provided us with a monetary incentive to create it.

There are people earning 6-figures and more from simply talking about things and helping people in areas they’re already passionate about.

There are a couple reasons it works so well.

The first is that you’re using leverage and you’re also multiplying your time.

Leverage

If you owned a “traditional” business such as a restaurant or a store, you would have to deal with every product you sold.

From purchasing to receiving to invoicing… and in the case of a restaurant… creating.  You are processing and touching that product every step of the way. And every time someone orders it.

With affiliate marketing, once set up properly, you can sell thousands of products over and over again, without ever lifting a finger.

You’re effectively leveraging the tools of automation (in this case a website and search engines) along with existing retailers who want more business.

Multiplying Your Time

Let’s return to our guitar example. If you owned or worked at a music store, every time someone came in they’d likely ask the same questions, and you’d give the same answers.

Most people spend years repeating themselves in a job!

Online however, the entire game changes. All of those questions that people ask, day after day after day, are available on your website. 

​

That's what a search engine and a website are. A question (search engine), and an answer (website). 

So you are anticipating the question, and providing the answer (your website) in the form of a tutorial, review, or any type of article. And you only need to create it ONCE… and it’s there day and night for everyone who needs it. 

​

You are helping people and answering their questions, even while you sleep!

There are currently 3.8 billion people online… so your single piece of content that you created ONCE, can be viewed by tens of thousands of people…

That’s several years of you NOT having to repeat yourself, or deal with a product, in the way you would in your job, or even in a traditional brick and mortar business.

And this multiplying effect goes even further…

Over time you will have hundreds of tutorials, articles, reviews and even multiple websites with the potential of recommending many different products.

You will have an online business that’s diverse, automated, and 100% yours.

I hope you’re starting to see the potential of affiliate marketing.

You’re right!  It’s not easy…

But it is simple!

Everything can be learned. None of us knew what we were doing when we started. And none of us learned it overnight.

Gone are the days when building an online business was only for “tech geeks” who knew how to code and build networks.

You don’t need to know any of that.

If you can point & click, copy & paste… you have all you need.

The important thing is that you understand the process, and how money is made online.

Your next critical step is owning your own website. This is YOUR asset. Your very own piece of online real estate. This brings people to you!

You don’t want to be chasing them… hoping and wondering when (and if) someone will click on your links. Where your next dollar will come from.

Your website(s) will serve you for many years to come… While those who spam links, or buy their traffic, see it all come to a screeching halt the moment they stop.

And I’ll show you where you can get your website for FREE.

​

STEP 1: CHOOSE AN INTEREST

This is where it gets fun! And… it’s also where this method separates itself from the scams and so-called “systems” out there.

Most of those are self-promoting systems where all you end up doing is promoting the same system to others. And you’re doing it along side everyone else who’s promoting the same system.

That’s NOT an online business!

An online business is something you own, and it’s completely independent of any one system or program.  

And the key is to choose an interest (a niche) that you are interested in. This make all the difference. If it’s something you’re passionate about, a hobby, or even something you’ve always wanted to learn… you will look forward to it and enjoy it.

However, I can tell you from experience. If you choose something that does not interest you because you think there’s money in it… it will become tedious and difficult (if not impossible) to sustain.

​STEP 2: BUILD A WEBSITE

As I mentioned earlier, you do not need to worry about this step.

When I built my first website it took me a month...

Now… with the FREE tools and training I’m going to show you, absolutely no technical knowledge is required… and with a few clicks, you’ll have your website built and online in under 10 minutes.

You will be amazed at how simple it is, and wonder why it’s not something you did sooner.

​

​

STEP 3: ATTRACT VISITORS

Remember… You want people coming to you.

What’s even better... with this method they WANT to come to you.

Your visitors are looking for help, for solutions, for advice… and you are there to help them. I can’t overstate how important this is. You are building a helping relationship on mutual ground.  

This is unlimited FREE traffic, coming to you…

People will find you when they search on places like Google and Bing, and when done right, this traffic will keep coming for years.

​

STEP 4: MAKE MONEY!

It's hard not to argue that this is the best step. 

As your website grows and the traffic builds, you will “monetize” your website.

Not with cheesy and irrelevant ads.

The reason this works is because the products you recommend mean something to the people who visit your website.

And… this might surprise you…

…but it’s harder to find a company that does not offer affiliate commissions than one that does.

From Amazon, Home Depot, and Walmart to Best Buy, Nike and Lego… they all have affiliate programs that you can join.

What’s even better… is that online shopping, as big as it is, has yet to explode as it will over the next few years.

I’ll share another secret with you (well it’s not exactly a secret)…

When someone goes online to a place like Amazon using your link, you earn commissions on everything they buy during that session. Not just the product you recommended.

They may click on your link to buy a coffeemaker for example, and end up buying 4 or 5 other products to go with it. You earn a commission on all of them.

Absolutely Yes! You can do this.

If you’ve followed along with this guide and understand the process, the tools I’m going to show you will introduce you to the mechanics of how it works.

With step-by-step, over the shoulder guidance, you will learn exactly how to build your online business.

You will also be provided with the tools to start making money online.

There are people of all ages, from different backgrounds, all over the world with their own goals and dreams who are building businesses this way.

Most of them had no knowledge of where (or how) to start either.

So yes… you absolutely can do this!

That’s the same question I had, and as I mentioned above. I searched for a long time and wasted a lot of money.

​

When my friend told me his story (mentioned earlier) about doing that renovation for an online marketer on Vancouver Island, It just happened that I was also in a really low point in my life.

The project we were both working on was coming to an end. We didn’t have any project lined after… and to be honest, I was tired of doing what I was doing anyway.

I was prepared to do anything to make my dream of building an online business a reality… and not long before that I had 10K I was willing to part with to make it happen.

In fact… I had decided on a program that would have cost me thousands (far more than 10K actually, which I learned later).

My details were entered into the sign-up form, including my credit card number… but I just couldn't complete that final "click".

Which, looking back now, would have been a big mistake as I’ve learned from others familiar with that program.

Anyway… jump forward a little and that conversation with my friend gave me a few leads that lead me to exactly what I had been looking for.

Oct 3, 2016

That was the day I found Wealthy Affiliate.

I know it sounds crazy (yes, it even sounds crazy to me)… but that day was one (of only a handful) of "pivotal" moments in my life.

From the moment I joined, I knew everything was about to change. I wasn’t sure how, and I certainly had my doubts… but having searched and tried for years, I knew this was different.

First… it was FREE to join, and second… there were no “upsells”. Nothing at all like that.

But most importantly, as I’ve explained the process to you in this guide… it just made sense.

There was no trickery, no secrets… and no sleazy get-rich sales pitch.

I will be honest though… everything I’m saying happened AFTER I joined.

Before that… Wealthy Affiliate was just another in a long line of empty promises I had seen before… and I almost hit the back button.

It bothers me to think of where my life would be now if I had. Fortunately, that’s not what happened, and now I’m here today explaining the exact process I use to make money online…to you.

I’m going to be going over some more details about Wealthy Affiliate below, so this would be a great time to jump over and grab your FREE account so you can follow along.

​

​

Well, as I mentioned above… the first two things I noticed (and you will too) is that it’s free to join, and there are no “upsells”.

But there are other significant differences... 

Traffic

You are building a business in a niche that YOU choose, and… you are building an asset that brings traffic to you.

All the scams (and legit, but expensive programs) have you chasing after traffic.

What that means is you’re either spending a lot of money on advertising, or you’re “spamming” links and bugging your friends and family.

Training

The training at Wealthy Affiliate is far more comprehensive (because you’re learning the fundamentals of a diverse and independent online business… not just a strategy to promote a single program).

Tools

The tools you need are built right into the platform.

You’ll notice that those other programs rely on 3rd-party tools like email autoresponders and landing page builders which are expensive and billed every month.

Remember earlier when I mentioned your online business MUST be sustainable...

People who are paying for expensive tools and buying their traffic almost always run out of budget… long before they’re successful.

Those tools and paid advertising platforms (such as Facebook and Youtube) are designed for enterprise purposes… people with existing businesses and marketing professionals.

Not for individuals with limited resources.

Advertising can literally eat through thousands of dollars a week (I know, because I tried)

That game of throwing money out the window is not something you do at Wealthy Affiliate.

Community

Not only does Wealthy Affiliate have the biggest and most active community of online entrepreneurs on the web, there is another specific reason the community is different than most.

Everyone is building a business in their OWN niche.

What that means is people are very open and willing to share their knowledge and experience with each other, because they’re not competing with one another.

The Wealthy Affiliate community also has the advantage of real-time communication and their own social platform.

This is NOT a forum or a Facebook Group.

Along with the training and tools (such as domain and web hosting services), Wealth Affiliate has a 24/7 live members chat that’s a fully functioning social platform built right in.

You can follow members, like their comments, search their post... and they like and follow yours as well.  

Again… as I go into further detail below, the best thing to do is follow along so you can check out each feature as go over it.

​

I won't be able to "unpack" it all. There's simply too much (but you do have free access to check everything out for yourself). 

I’ve bought and gone through online marketing courses in a weekend.

Wealthy Affiliate is not that type of course.

It would take years to get through all their training… like taking every course a University had to offer. It wouldn’t make sense.

But don’t let that scare you off…

Getting started is simple, and you can learn at your own pace.

The advanced training is for later and goes beyond the fundamentals.  

Some members have gone on to add ecommerce into their business, others have built web design and SEO (search engine optimization) agencies… and others have created their own digital products and online services.

All these types of online businesses are built on the same foundation. And that’s what Wealthy Affiliate teaches.

I don’t want to overwhelm you, but here's a quick summary of Wealthy Affiliate’s features.

​

You’ll notice from that list, I mentioned they have a Premium Membership.

I’ll explain more about that in moment. But first I want to talk about the FREE starter membership, because it is absolutely free, and it's all you need to get started.

It’s important to note that there is no time limit on the free membership. It's NOT a "trial". NO credit card is needed to sign up, and your FREE membership and websites are there for as long as you want them.

​Yes... I said, free websites.

​

This is what you get with the FREE membership,

​

• 2 Free Websites
• Point and Click Website Builder
• A "NO Credit Card Required" Sign Up
• Free Membership for as Long as You Want
  
• Secure Web Hosting
• 10 Lessons of the Online Entrepreneur Certification Course
• 10 Lessons of the Affiliate Bootcamp Course
• Keyword Research Tool – 30 Searches Per Month
• Test Drive Premium Features During Your First 7 Days
  

The Starter Membership is literally jam-packed with goodies, and you won’t find any other free training platform that offers that much.

In fact, most don’t even offer free training… other than a webinar which is really just a thinly disguised sales pitch (with a limited time offer at the end)

So grab your FREE account and sign up now HERE.

​I became a Premium member right away. Remember… I was willing to part with $10,000…

And a Premium Membership at Wealthy Affiliate is NOT even close to that kind of money.

It’s not even in the same Universe…

I’ll explain the pricing in a moment, but I promise you’ll be shocked. At the discounted price that I took advantage of… my 10K would pay for more than 30 years of my membership.

Of course, I didn’t spend that much. I paid for my first month and then jumped on a Black Friday deal in November of 2016.

Another huge positive here… Wealthy Affiliate has had several significant upgrades since I joined, and the price has never changed.

So… what do you get with the Premium Membership?

• 25 Free Websites
• Hosting for 25 Custom Domain Sites
• Powerful (and Simple) Website Builder
• Domain Registration & Secure Website Hosting
• Daily Back-Ups
• Free SSL (Secure Sockets Layer Encryption)
• Content Creation & Link Tracking Tools
  
• Full Technical Support
• Thousands of Training Modules and Q&A
• Full Access to Online Entrepreneur Certification Courses
• Full Access to Affiliate Bootcamp courses
• Exclusive Access to Jaaxy, a Powerful Keyword Tool.
• 24/7 Live Members and Support Chat
• Weekly Live Training Webinars (and full back-catalogue access)
• Private Messaging
• Affiliate Program
• Access to Founders and Owners
  
• Additional Ways to Earn Such as Domain Credits, and more…

I must point out that Premium members have access to ALL the above features.

There are NO “tiered” memberships. NO additional upsells or courses to pay for. There are NO 3^rd party tools you need to make the system work.

And… Wealthy Affiliate’s core training is developing FREE traffic, so NO marketing budget is required.

Wealthy Affiliate has been in business since 2005, and in those years a lot of work has been done to make sure you have everything you need to build your business.

Premium members have all the tools, training, support, resources and community in one place. You can focus 100% on building your business. NO messing around with multiple 3^rd party accounts, or additional add-ons.

The Premium membership is for people who are serious about building an online business and are looking for a one-stop-shop.

You have full access with the Premium membership, so there are no limitations. Everything you need to build the business of your dreams and start making money is literally at your fingertips.

By using the leverage, multiplying your time, and having direct access to experts as if they’re in the room… you can truly build something incredible.

​

​

The monthly cost is $49, but with the buttons on his page you will get a 59% discount for your first month. You can experience everything Premium has to offer for only $19.

There are even more savings when you sign up for an annual membership, which is $359.

That’s only $29.92 per month for everything you need to build your business.

Most other programs require 3^rd party tools that add up to two and even three times that amount. And that doesn’t include the cost of training or traffic.

The only other expense, and it’s a small one ($10 - $15 per year), is your custom domain (for example: yourname.com) 

Wealthy Affiliate handles domain registrations, but the authority who manages the architecture of internet domain names and assignments is ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers).

Having said that… you don’t have to worry about Premium now. In fact, I recommend you don’t.

Your free membership is all you need to get started, and all your settings, followers and website(s) roll into your Premium membership if you decide to upgrade, without you having to do anything. So, there’s plenty of time to think about it.

Your focus should be on your first steps… which the free account more than takes care of.

You can get your free account here or by clicking the button below. Details of your 59% discount will also be sent to you, which you can give some thought to later. 

​

No Credit Card Required to Join

Since I had looked at and tried other programs that were a big let down… my expectations when I found Wealthy Affiliate were not high, but joining was no different than signing up for a free Facebook account, so I had nothing to lose.

It was a no-brainer since the other programs I was considering all had a fee to get started

Free Websites

It’s true, I already had a website when I joined Wealthy Affiliate… but none of my technical knowledge was required to build a new one at Wealthy Affiliate.

I’m still glad I spent that time years ago to learn how to build one on my own… but with their easy website builder you don’t need any special technical ability… and with the free membership, you have access to two websites that will cost you $0.00.

Massive Community and Support

The support I received from the community, and the one-on-one help I got from Kyle (one of Wealthy Affiliate’s co-founders) in the beginning was a game changer for me.

I had some blogging experience, but I also had some pre-conceived ideas (and habits) that were holding me back. I was finally meeting people who were doing what I had spent years trying to do on my own.

It Works For An Introvert

This isn’t exactly a feature of Wealthy Affiliate… but it is a reason many like this method of online marketing.

One problem I've noticed with some other programs is that those who succeed have an “uncommon charisma”. They’re comfortable with public speaking, with being on video and podcasts, and doing outreach to others.

I'm not saying that Wealthy Affiliate is "only" good for introverts... but it's methods don't rely on making sales videos, or doing webinars, or aggressively going after relationships with high level marketers.

All-In-One Platform

Everything you need, from web-hosting and training, to marketing research tools and one-on-one help is all under one roof.

It’s Simple

Notice I didn’t say it was “easy”. There is work involved here, but from a simple one-click website installation to over the shoulder type training… everything is made simple and it’s organized.

From knowing absolutely nothing about digital marketing, to starting an online business, and then taking it to advanced stages… Wealthy Affiliate provides you with step-by-step training all the way.

It’s an Educational Product

I had been sold on hype before and get-rich-quick promises. Most of the Make-Money-Online programs out there offer a very narrow “system”.

What I mean by narrow, is that they are focused on only one area of online marketing.

Usually, they only provide sales funnel training, which is a “one-trick-pony”. 

​

The truth is that most of what other programs teach is just a small slice of what running an online business is. Having tried and tested dozens of programs, Wealthy Affiliate is by far the most comprehensive online marketing education I’ve found (and I’ve searched).

No Hype, No Promises, No Ridiculous Claims

The reason most people fail at making money online is because the system they’ve bought into doesn’t properly explain that making money online takes time, and it requires work.

They may say it takes time and requires work, and at the same time tell you that success only requires you to plug into their “proven” system.

I met one new online marketer who told me he fully understood that it would take time to be successful, and that he was prepared to work hard. When we spoke about his goals, he was aiming to make $1,000,000 per month within a year.

​

A million dollars a month!?

Ridiculous expectations like that only come from “gurus” who make ridiculous claims. You wouldn’t open up a coffee shop, a restaurant, or a hair studio… and expect to be making $1,000,000 per month your first year (or ever for that matter).

​

Maybe as a CEO who owns a hundred coffee shops.

Another person who had only been a member (of a different program) for maybe an hour asked me how he could make ten thousand dollars by the end of the month because he had debts to pay.

​

I explained to him that to make $10,000 in under a month, he'd need at least that much to buy advertising and pay for traffic... in which case, he should just use his money to pay his debts. 

​

But he didn't have any money... and you can't make $10,000 appear from nothing. If it's not money you're going to throw at it... it's your time and effort (which as you may remember from above... that's one of the first things I mentioned).

​

The skills that you learn and develop, along with your online asset (your website) are what earn you money.

​Give a person a guitar and they have no idea how to make money with it (except sell it). But give that person some time and training to learn how to play it... and they can earn money with it night and day.

​

Wealthy Affiliate does not sell hype, promises or ridiculous claims.

An online business has many advantages over a traditional offline business… but getting rich overnight is not one of them!

It’s these preconceived expectations given by the so-called gurus that cause people to hit a wall and quit… or waste money on the next new shiny toy.

No Upsells

There’s nothing wrong with upsells… it’s just marketing (like putting chocolate bars in the checkout aisle).

Wealthy Affiliate, however, has made the choice to be different and not do this.

For free member’s, as I mentioned… with the links here in this guide you can get a 59% discount if you choose to upgrade to the premium membership.

That’s your only upsell (if you can even call it an upsell).

Premium members have access to everything already. There is nothing more to upsell.

NO additional “VIP Packages”, “Black or Gold Membership Options”, “Topper-Uppers”, or “One-time Offers” to buy.

Spam Free Environment

Members who try to promote their own products are quickly warned, it’s not allowed. If they keep doing it, they will be banned.

Wealthy Affiliate is a place where entrepreneurs come to learn, to communicate with other online marketers, and to teach other members as well.

It’s not a "marketplace", and you won’t be sold to,

A lot of effort goes into making it a safe and comfortable environment for people to hang out and learn.

They’ve Been In Business Since 2005

Wealthy Affiliate’s owners are honest entrepreneurs who are interested in seeing you succeed.

That’s their main goal, and it’s Wealthy Affiliate’s core philosophy… which is why they are in their 13^th year and stronger today than ever.

I’ve seen a lot of “systems” come and go, re-emerge with a new name, or as something entirely different. Part of that is because online marketing changes quickly.

Many of the “tactics” taught by others are just that… tactics. They might work today but they quickly become obsolete.

Taking the time to build a solid foundation and focusing on developing the skills that have been the bedrock of the internet for 20+ years is what has kept Wealthy Affiliate growing and relevant since 2005… and will also “future-proof” your business against the changes that are certain to come.

Constantly Improving (without increasing the price)

There have been consistent and significant upgrades to the platform, including entirely new features.

But the price has remained the same.

I can’t say for certain that the price will never change… but it has remained the same for years, and Wealthy Affiliate’s owners Kyle and Carson would be reluctant to do it.

They did increase the price for one of their other products which was justified as it was completely overhauled… almost to a different product.

However… existing members were grandfathered in at the original price, and they offer a 50% discount (along with a free version) to Wealthy Affiliate members.

Price increases are not something they take lightly.

Focuses on Free Traffic Training

As I mentioned a few times. The key to success is that your online business is sustainable. If you’re paying for traffic, as an individual with limited resources… you will almost certainly run out of budget before seeing a return big enough to keep going.  

Wealthy Affiliate's training is focused on getting a steady stream of free, targeted visitors whose interests align with what you have to offer.

My Personal Help and Guidance

Right now, you can also work with me directly when you join. I try to be on Wealthy Affiliate a few times a day to help and answer questions.

If you find yourself stuck, have any questions… or even just want to chat about online marketing in general, I’m available.  

I’m also happy to help out with things like niche research if you’re not sure what you want your website to be about.

Quite often people have a general idea, but it’s always good to bounce ideas off of someone else as you try to narrow your focus and finalize your decisions.

All you need to do is send me a message (see below).

Let’s start making money together :-D 

I look forward to working with you if you have any questions you can contact me HERE.

Kindest Regards,

Jay
