Wealthy Affiliate Review: The Best Affiliate Marketing Training Course

The Best Affiliate Marketing Training CourseToday, I want to do a review on Wealthy Affiliate. Wealthy Affiliate is an affiliate marketing training course I joined two months ago. It is probably the best affiliate marketing training course for bloggers, digital marketers and especially those who want to make money online.

Just to give you a little background of myself, four years ago I created my first food blog website. I start it from scratch despite I have no knowledge about blogging. Certainly, it was a steep learning curve for me to start a blog website.

Understand what is blogging, how to purchase a domain, how to subscribe a web hosting, WordPress setup and also content writing skill are things you need to learn.

Whew, sounds complicated right? No choice, you just have to learn it.

I found a review on Wealthy Affiliate two months ago while I were searching information about improve blogging skill. At first, Wealthy Affiliate didn’t really attract my attention. I thought it is just another affiliate marketing training I can find online.

After reading the review, my perception changed. I kind of attracted to what Wealthy Affiliate has to offer especially the certification training course. I decided to sign up an account to try it out because it’s free.

After 10 days of my free starter membership, I decided to upgrade to the Premium membership. You might surprise why I make such a quick decision to convert to a Premium membership. This is because there are a lot more you can get as a Premium member.

Again, I want to emphasize that Wealthy Affiliate is (in my opinion) the best affiliate marketing training course for bloggers. There are a lot of good stuffs in Wealthy Affiliate and I will try my best to cover as much as I can.

You Must Set the Right Mindset

Right Mindset

Before I start my review I want to set your expectation and mindset right because I don’t want to waste your time. Wealthy Affiliate is not a get-rich-quick program. If you are looking for a get-rich-quick program then this program is not for you.

Wealthy Affiliate offers you the best training course and tools to help you success but you still must put in the hard work. A good fitness training coach can teach the right way to do push-up but they cannot do it for you. You must put in the hard work to do it yourself. They are the same principles.

Just in case if you ever see a program claim that they can help you to become rich in one week or even a month, my advice to you is to leave it immediately.

So, What is Wealthy Affiliate?

Wealthy Affiliate Membership Must Be Very Costly!?

After seeing so many good things about Wealthy Affiliate, it is import to know about the pricing. Personally, I won’t join an online training course that cost me few thousand of dollars. No matter how good the course is. It is too costly to me and I don’t have that kind of budget.

Wealthy Affiliate offers 2 types of membership:

1) Free Starter Membership

2) Premium Membership

The Free Starter Membership, It’s FREE Not Trial ($0 Cost)

If you are not sure if Wealthy Affiliate is something you are looking for then I would suggest you to get started with the free membership. It costs you $0 and It’s free not trial.

Above all, the 2 training courses should be sufficient to help you get your website up and running. In fact, it covers all you need to understand about building online business.

Moreover, the higher level courses (Level 2 and above) will teach you on how to get traffic and monetize your traffic. However, you will need the premium membership to get access to the higher level courses and other advanced tools.

I would suggest you to get started with the Free Membership first to see it yourself what Wealthy Affiliate is all about.

The Premium Membership

The Premium membership costs you $49. However, you will get a discounted price at $19 for the first month premium if you sign up the premium membership during the first 7 days after joining. It’s 61% saving! The following months you will pay $49 per month.

If you think that $49 is still too much then you have option to upgrade to yearly saving plan which costs you $359. If you calculate it into monthly subscription, you only pay about $29 per month. It’s 41% saving and you are paying less than $1 a day!
