Let me answer the first important question I would ask myself :

---

What is Wealthy Affiliate?

Wealthy Affiliate is an affiliate marketing academy or university, if you will, that focuses on ranking your content on the first page of the search engines by means of SEO.

Training is added daily and apart from training classes, there are also weekly live training with a live Q&A, live chat, and live expert help.

---

What Makes The Training Different From The Crowd?

Training offered is tasked based and each course will show you your progression by means of a progression bar.

You can choose the classes you wish to do, which makes Wealthy Affiliate suitable for the absolute beginner to the advanced affiliate marketer.

Wealthy Affiliate has a thriving community of over 2.3 million active users from the time of writing.

It is really easy to interact, message, and follow other users. But best of all, there is a live chatbox on your dashboard where you can just start typing in a question and everyone that is online will see your live post.

If that is not enough, you can hit the ‘Help’ button that will list all the ways you can receive support.

On the topic of support:

How is Wealthy Affiliate’s Support?

I am with Wealthy Affiliate now for a few years and the support I have received is honestly some of the best I ever came across.

I will mostly log a technical support ticket for support with a website or hosting. (I will talk about the features of Wealthy Affiliate soon)

From the best of my recollection, every ticket I have submitted so far was replied to within a few minutes. You are not waiting days for an answer.

What Features Do Wealthy Affiliate Offer?

Everything you will need to grow your business is included when signing up with Wealthy Affiliate.

This includes research tools like Jaaxy, amazing web and e-mail hosting, education, and amazing Affiliate Program Search function for products you wish to promote, article writer with template creator, and more.

Wealthy Affiliate itself offers an amazing affiliate program when you decide to promote them.

The affiliate dashboard is extensive, complete with tracking, banners, your referrals, your stats, message campaigns, custom links, etc.

Apart from the excellent commission structure, 300 sign-ups will bag you a trip to Las Vegas with all expenses paid where you can hang out with Kyle and Carson (co-owners of Wealthy Affiliate) at the annual private conference.

I thought that I would skip right ahead with this review but let me quickly show you what the Affiliate Program Search is all about.

Wealthy Affiliate – Affiliate Program Search

They say that a picture can tell a thousand words and hopefully, you can see how amazing it is just from the screenshot above.

Basically, you can search for any niche or keyword and find an affiliate program for the product you would like to promote.

But it is much better than that! You can filter to your heart’s content and save your favorite affiliate offers.

To give you an idea of the filters you can apply, see below:

As you can see, you can even filter according to pay-out options.

Of course, you can simply type into Google: ‘keyword + affiliate program’ but you will only see the pay-out options afterward.

This makes it just so much more convenient and faster to find your perfect offer in your niche.

Wealthy Affiliate Website Hosting

I used a different hosting platform before, but I fell in love with the simplicity and ease of hosting a WordPress blog on Wealthy Affiliate within minutes.

The reasons I find this amazing are:

I will go through the limitations per paid subscription for the number of websites and sub-domains you can have a bit later in this review.

But let me also state some things you cannot do yourself or some limitations that I am aware of or came across:

I mention this because I saw some people complain that they could not transfer their domains after they stopped their subscription with Wealthy Affiliate.

So, yes, you only have 30 days to do so and no more.

If for any of the reasons mentioned above, you would rather feel more comfortable in using your own hosting company, I can recommend A2 Hosting. They offer better value and server performance than BlueHost in my honest opinion.

Let me quickly show you the process of creating a website on Wealthy Affiliate:

---

Building a website with Wealthy Affiliate

The first step is to click on ‘Websites’ and then ‘Build a Website’.

Now you will be presented with the following choices below and I will choose a ‘Free Domain’.

This will create you a subdomain on siterubix.com.

Next, you will choose your domain name, enter a title for your website and choose a theme for your website.

Now you simply click on ‘Build my website’ and you are done. After a minute or less, your site will be live!

ASTRA is my preferred theme as it is super lightweight and very flexible. I also use Beaver Builder alongside ASTRA which is an excellent combination, and you can optimize ASTRA for Beaver Builder.

In fact, this is what I use on this website.

You can find more information regarding ASTRA here: ASTRA WordPress Theme and for Beaver Builder, you can read a bit more here: Beaver Builder.

Are There Any Negative Reviews Of Wealthy Affiliate?

There certainly is, as it is with most products.

I have seen some negative reviews that argued that Wealthy Affiliate members should not be able to promote the business (Wealthy Affiliate) without gaining some street credit first.

This probably means that they should be able to show off their earnings of previous successes before endorsing an academy they just signed up for.

This is the point of Wealthy Affiliate, to teach you how to rank on Google’s first page. If you do a poor job, then you will not be found in Google’s search results and if your poorly written article is not found, then nobody will see it.

The point is this: If you find any Wealthy Affiliate member’s content on the first page of Google for the search terms you used, then that is street cred. enough. How else did they manage to be on Google’s first page?

Content that is found on the first page of the search engines is most likely good quality content and is helpful. If it is not good quality, then it probably won’t stay in the top results for long.

What does Wealthy Affiliate cost?

It is free! Yes. You can join Wealthy Affiliate for free with no credit card needed.

Joining for free makes you a starter member. As a starter member, you get the beginners training, you can build 1 free website with a free SSL certificate, Jaaxy starter with 30 keyword searches, get live help for 7 days, and access to the Affiliate Program Search.

Work To Live Free’s Final Words

Achieving success takes work but we all are just the same.

There is nothing that makes one person more special than the other. Some just decide to take action on achieving their dreams. Many athletes and popular rock, pop, boy – bands, etc. worked at their dream since childhood.

Overnight success is but a pipe dream, but working hard at what you want to achieve and finally seeing results, is the greatest feeling in the world.

Consistency and perseverance are possibly the biggest keys to success.
