    It's all hype.

    You'll do better on this board, and affiliate boards, like abestweb.com.

    But, try it anyway. Find out for yourself.

    I guarantee everything they tell you is common knowledge...no one sells secrets that are actually making them money ;)

    I disagree. I'm actually a member of that site. It's not just a forum. It's a whole training center. There's lots of keyword tools, research tools, and even a pretty easy to use website builder they just added.

    Support is great too, free hosting, lots of other stuff.

    Unless someone has been inside the site, they have NO IDEA about what goes on inside, but if this tells you anything, I've been a member of that site for about 6 months and haven't ever even considered leaving.

    I agree that the knowledge there can possibly be found elsewhere, but it would take you six months to find it all and you'd be hard pressed to do so. It's awesome to have it all in one place.

    The owners of the site are two genuine guys that like to help people. Sure there's something in it for them, but I can't even begin to count the number of people that rave how much WA has helped them. I'm one of them.

    I'm not trying to spam links all over the place, but since you're asking, you can look at the review page I made. I've got some videos up showing some of the things you will find inside. Definitely not a 'shill.'

    I wish I was. If I was I wouldn't be spending so much time on IM forums.

    Wealthy Affiliate is centered mainly around affiliate marketing, so you won't get into banner ads and all that stuff, but even the stuff that isn't taught you can certainly discuss in the forums.

    Look, don't give me a hard time just because I answered the dude's question. If I was spamming links all over the place and not being helpful, I wouldn't blame you, but I'm certainly not...

    Well,I am getting positive results from it.
    And I also agree that you can learn a lot from these boards. The downside for learning from these boards is that you will be spending a lot of time in trying to sort out the good information from the bad ones.

    I had started making money online after I joined wealthy affiliate.

    If you are a real beginner ,then joining the site would help to shorten your learning curve.
    if you are an intermediate marketer and have read a lot of IM books, then the lessons wont appear very useful but you will still love the forums. The wealthy affiliate forum is full of amazing information which I love.

    So,If you have been thinking of buying an IM book worth $97 ,then I am sure tht joining wealthy affiliate(even for only a month) would be a better bet.

    Hope this helps.

    bye,
    faraz

    Some of the folks in our office have reviewed Wealthy Affiliates and so far I have not heard anything bad. They seem to find useful information that has helped us with our clients.

    Very true. It's good even if you don't want to be an affiliate marketer. Aff marketing revolves around keywords and driving traffic to a certain piece of Internet real estate. Any online business needs this, especially smaller businesses who don't have a lot of money to throw around.

    I've found the methods I've learned there quite helpful to driving traffic to the website we use at work. Got a nice bonus because of it too :)

    Very good point.

    Wealthy Affiliate is definitely worth the price of the membership. Easily.

    I've yet to be a part of forums that are as helpful as WA and you get help from guys like Travis Sago, Kyle and Carson (the owners), etc... I've recommended it to several people and finally joined the Affiliate program after seeing everybody who I referred come back and thank me for it.

    I'd definitely give it a shot, as long as you're going to REALLY try what they teach... It's honestly changed my life quite a bit over the past few months.

    But it won't be for everybody... especially those who don't put forth the effort.

    I know I'm new to this forum and all, but I am a member of Wealthy Affiliate, and I have been one for 7 months. They have really helped me out with my marketing. Before I joined I was struggling online, without any direction, I bought e-book after e-book that really didn't help me at all. I started their 8 week course and after awhile I started to make money after not making any for a very long time. The people in the forums are great and most are ready, willing, and able to help you out with any thing that you're stuck on.

    Funny how all the newish members in DP present in this thread are also participating in this program...


    It is like they all found this program, DP and this thread at the same time.

    The reason I stay with Wealthy Affiliate is the tools like their site builder. The forum is useful as well. The site builder has a lot of nice features to it. I won't be placing an affiliate link in my signature for it either. I don't need to promote it. I believe it is worth the price I pay for it. I have seen some sites that charge a lot more and provide a whole lot less.

    Here's a post from someone who's not going to post their affiliate link :)

    I'm a member although I spend most of my time helping people in there, rather than getting help myself.

    It's a great place if you're a newbie and want to learn the basics about bum marketing/PPC review sites etc.

    I haven't used the tools in a long time, but the forum is pretty handy and for $30 a month, you can't really complain.

    Wealthy Affiliate gives you something else. The majority of the members are there trying to learn internet marketing tips, tricks, techniques, etc. So you basically get an extrememly targeted group of potential customers for only $30 per month. That seems like a pretty good deal to me.

    I'm a former member of Wealthy Affiliate. I stayed with them about 4 or 5 months before I decided to cancel my membership. Like any program, you'll get out of it what you put into it.

    In my opinion, the people who benefit the most from WA are the newer entrepreneurs...and there is a wealth of information for them inside. An eight week step by step action plan to give direction, as mentioned earlier, as well as the tools they make available to their members make it a good investment for those trying to get started.

    My biggest disappointment with WA was with the launch of their new site builder. I think the premise was a good one, I just think they put it out there a bit too early, before all the bugs were worked out.

    And even though I finally decided that my money would be better spent elsewhere, I'm thankful for the time I spent in the forum, learning and sharing with others. It was through the studying I did there that I finally worked up the courage to take a stab at PPC advertising, something I'd been too scared to venture into before.

    The people in the forum, for the most part, are warm, accepting and caring and I met some great folks, a few I still keep in touch with.

    So, bottom line...do I recommend WA? Yes I do. Especially if you've been online for a while now and still aren't making any money. Will you outgrow WA? Possibly. But many people, myself included, have benefited from having been a part of it.

    Honey
