Wealthy Affiliate has been around for more than 10 years. If it didn’t work or was a scam it would’ve been exposed years ago.

Before you start you need to realize that this isn’t a get rich scheme. You’re setting up an actual business which means it’s going to take a lot of work and there’s a learning process that has to occur before you start to make money.

A lot of it depends on creating quality content. Unless you already have experience with making quality content you’ll have to go through the learning process.

No. Wealthy Affiliate just teaches you how to create an affiliate marketing website. They basically give you the tools to promote any company with affiliate products. What you want to do with your website after that is up to you.

Yes. You can make money with the free starters account. You’ll still learn how to create a website and how to monetize from it. 

I honestly haven’t seen a lot of them because most people switch over to premium accounts after a while because you can cut your learning curve with the extra training. 

You can recognize the websites that are making money without a premium account pretty easily. Wealthy Affiliate has its own hosting platform called Siterubix that gives away free websites and hosting so a lot of these websites have a Siterubix subdomain.

How long it takes to make money with affiliate marketing is entirely up to you. The more time you put into, the faster you can make money. 

For most people, there’s a learning process that has to take place before you can start to make money. You have to learn: 

• how to make a good looking website

• How to make quality content 

• How to get quality backlinks

• How to promote your content in an effective way

Don’t expect to be able to this perfectly within 3 months but know the more time you put into this the faster you can start making money.

Not everybody joins wealthy affiliate to become an affiliate marketer. There are thousands of benefits for people that want to do other things online like create an eCommerce store, sell online courses, and more.

No. 

A pyramid scheme doesn’t offer a product. They just try to get as many people to join (Knowing only the top people make money) and promote something that doesn’t exist.

Unlike a pyramid scheme, Wealthy Affiliate offers an actual products that you can use which are the online marketing training, access to the online community, Hosting, and online marketing tools.

Yes. 

Wealthy Affiliate does have an affiliate program. They even have separate training modules aside from the Online Entrepreneurship Certification Course for people who want to make money referring people to Wealthy Affiliate.

Depending on how you make money how you get paid might differ. You’ll often find the payment method in the affiliate section of the websites you’ve partnered up with to promote products.

Examples:

People who promote Wealthy Affiliate get paid through Paypal. They just have to set-up a Paypal account that’s attached to their email and they get paid monthly.

Amazon associates get paid through direct deposit into your bank account, cheque or Paypal.

That depends on your account. 

Free starters account members:
You don’t have to do anything. No credit card info was needed to subscribe so you can just stop using the account and that’s it. 

Premium members:
Go to your subscription info on your Wealthy Affiliate account and cancel your billing information. 

If you’re paying with PayPal you’ll also need to cancel automatic payments so Paypal doesn’t take money from your account by accident.

No.

Wealthy Affiliate has step-by-step training modules that teach you how to create
a professional looking website from scratch.

Yes.

Wealthy Affiliate is partly a hosting platform and just like any other hosting platform you can move your website to it.

Yes.

If you want to keep your website but you don’t want to have it hosted on Wealthy Affiliate you can just move your website to another host.
