Preview of Wealthy Affiliate

I have often been one of those pitiful folks always looking out for an opportunity to raise my financial status. One time I even paid thousands of dollars for a class to learn how to invest in the stock market. I ended up attending four classes, took some more classes over the telephone, and then finally quit altogether. The worst part about it... no refund. Argh!! Since then, I have tried to be more careful about what I sign up for (and certainly don't sign up for anything that asks me to pay thousands of dollars again). But I still researching new venues and usually decide after just a little short while that it's not for me.

I came across Wealthy Affiliate quite by accident. I was actually looking up how to find drop shippers (another venue that didn't take off... ha!). But as I was finding those businesses, I learned that affiliate marketing actually has more potential to make money... after all, how many times have you bought something after reading a review or two? Whenever I get on amazon, I am ALWAYS reading the reviews first... when they have them, of course. I like to know that the product isn't made of real stainless steel and will rust after just 3 uses.

And on the other end, being an affiliate marketer is exciting because how many times have you been thrilled with a product and wanted to share to the world how much you loved it? With affiliate marketing, you get paid simply to share your experience with a product! It's kinda just a nice side effect that folks tend to get paid well for being an affiliate marketer.

Perhaps you're already convinced that this is the venue for you... why Wealthy Affiliate? You would be amazed at all the site has to offer. You can start from the very beginning... there are:
