Before I made the decision to join Wealthy Affiliate, I read quite a few Wealthy Affiliate reviews. After I joined, I was extremely pleased with the program, but I felt that there were a few things that were left out of all the reviews of Wealthy Affiliate that I had found, and I wanted to share them with you.

What’s Missing From The Rest Of The Wealthy Affiliate Reviews

1. What You’ll Be Learning

Not a single one of the reviews on Wealthy Affiliate that I found explained what is taught at Wealthy Affiliate. I guess once you’ve been in internet marketing for a while, you forget that the rest of the world has no clue what you do, and if you talk to them like you would to another IMer, they’ll think you’re speaking Japanese.

Before you join Wealthy Affiliate, it’s probably a good idea for you to know what you’ll be learning to do once you’re there. In fact, I wrote a post explaining how Wealthy Affiliate works after reading a comment that one of my readers left in response to my Wealthy Affiliate testimonial.

2. Wealthy Affiliate Isn’t Perfect

Reality check, people. I know that just about all the Wealthy Affiliate University reviews that you read laud the system to high heaven, you have to go into it knowing that it’s created and run by human beings who aren’t perfect themselves.

Kyle and Carson are really great people and they know their stuff, but sometimes they *gasp* make spelling mistakes. Do you think I’m joking? I know that might seem like its not a big deal to you, but it is to some people. And if those people join Wealthy Affiliate expecting the lessons to sound like they’re written by a professor, then they just might end up devaluing the information.

Which would really be a big shame, because the information that’s there works. Kyle and Carson, like most wildly successful marketers, don’t really care about being perfect all of the time. They’d rather focus on making money.

Which, by the way, is something you should learn from. Trying to get all the details perfect really held me back from making money when I first got started. If you want to be successful at affiliate marketing, you’re better off just getting a lot of stuff out there than making sure everything you do is 100% perfect.

3. The Power Of Community

Most of the Wealthy Affiliate review sites out there will talk about the forum, and what a valuable asset it is, but I didn’t realize just how much there is to gain from the social side of Wealthy Affiliate.

I’m talking about from a marketing perspective. Friendships are great, and there are definitely a lot of those that come out of Wealthy Affiliate, but if you’re interested in paying $30 bucks a month to improve your social life, there are probably some other sites that will better suit your needs.

I cannot even begin to express how great it is to have a group of friends you can talk to on a marketing level. They say that 2 minds are better than 1– well how about 33,130 (the number of WA members at the time that I’m writing this post)?

The help, insights, and ideas that I have gotten from other Wealthy Affiliate members have greatly contributed to the extent of my success.

Wealthy Affiliate is often referred to as the biggest paid Internet Marketing forum. The people who say that are totally overlooking the rest of the tools, resources, and information that Wealthy Affiliate offers, but if that was all that I was getting from being a member, I would still be paying out every month because the benefits I get are more than worth that monthly investment.

Anyway, that’s about it. These are three things that are never mentioned whenever I see Wealthy Affiliate reviewed, so I thought that I out to write this up to fill in the gaps.

Bottom line is, I totally agree with most of the Wealthy Affiliates reviews out there– Wealthy Affiliate has been the key to my success, and if you want to share in that success too, it’s a place where you should make sure to be.

3. Why WealthyAffiliate Rocks My World

If you’re thinking about joining the Wealthy Affiliate University, I’m sure you want to know exactly what you’re going to be getting with your membership. I know that when I was decided whether to join or not, I spent a lot of time not just reading Wealthy Affiliate University reviews, but also on the WA website itself, looking at all the aspects of the program.

Here are some of the many tools and resources that the Wealthy Affiliates University has to offer:

1. One-on-One Coaching With Kyle And Carson

This is absolutely one of the best things about WA. Normally personal coaching with a top internet marketer will cost you around $1,000, but at WA, it’s just one of the many benefits of your membership.

The way it works is simple; you send Kyle or Carson a pm and they’ll get back to you within two days, if not sooner. Their advice is incredibly helpful, whether it’s about tweaking a campaign to convert better, getting into the mind of your market, or just a general direction to take.

I have always found that they think of angles that I never would have without their input, and being able to get this coaching privately without posting on the forums helps you not just get personal attention but keeps your campaigns confidential.

2. The Wealthy Affiliate University Forums

The forums at WA are unlike any other internet marketing forums I have ever seen. There is a HUGE amount of pure gold information flowing through these threads, and it is a place where you can get your questions answered without feeling like an idiot, especially if you’re new and just know that you’re asking a pretty basic question.

The forums are also great if you’re having trouble with a campaign and want the benefits of a lot of minds to help you succeed. I’ve seen tons of threads where people have basically said: This is my landing page, help me convert. And the advice that you get is incredible.

One of my favorite part of the forums is the Success Forum. This is great not just for inspiration, but you also have a lot of people who post not just how much they’ve made, but also how they’ve made it. Having people share the exact steps they’ve taken to make major amounts of money is just truly awesome.

3. The 8 Week Action Plan

This is Wealthy Affiliate’s trademark start-up plan. Every week you can access a new, in depth lesson, which will take you every step of the way so that you can start making money fast.

If you follow the steps in the 8 week action plan, you will be making money, and this is one of the reasons that you are constantly seeing people posting “Made My First Sale!!!” in the Success Forum.

4. The Learning Center

This is where the core tutorials, lessons, and videos at Wealthy Affiliate are located. You have an entire Internet Marketing education here, complete with sections for beginners, intermediate, and advanced members.

All the information is presented in an easy to digest, and thorough manner. In fact, I often find it useful to re-read them down the road. I always find that I get more out of them the second or third time around.

5. The Share Zone

This is another truly awesome resource that the Wealthy Affiliate University offers. Here, members can create their own tutorials, upload pdfs, and share videos that they’ve created with the rest of the members.

One really cool thing is that a lot of the members at WA are major internet marketers who often have products or membership sites of their own, and the ShareZone tutorials that they create are incredible.

Two of my favorite Share Zone tutorials are “The Oprah Method” and “One Simple Trick To 50% Opt-In Rates”. Those are both top-rated by a lot of other people as well, and will really help you get a lot more traffic and make the most out of it.

6. Site Rubix and Free Hosting

Building a website is a step that every marketer needs to take at some point in time. Sure, you can get started without it, but any serious internet marketer knows that having your own website is a must for major income.

But the idea of building a website can be pretty intimidating for a lot of people, myself included (when I got started, at least). Site Rubix is a very powerful website creator that’s also really easy. It’s all drag and drop, and comes with a variety of templates that you can play around with, so you can literally have your website designed in less than 10 minutes.

You also get free hosting with Wealthy Affiliate, which is great, because if you’re going to have a website, you need it, and a good hosting plan costs around 10 bucks a month.

7. Rapid Writer

This is a marketer’s dream. I don’t care if you do article marketing, SEO, or PPC, or whatever, but no matter what you do, you have to write.

Rapid Writer is a tool that organizes all of your articles and campaigns, helps you do keywords research, check competition on both the major search engines and the major article directories, keeps track of your keyword density, and has a built-in article spinner that’s optimized to churn out original articles that actually read like a person wrote them.

Talk about a dream tool! RapidWriter is something that I use just about everyday, and at this point, I could not imagine working without it.
