Before I joined wealthy affiliate platform, I tried to build a website and hosted it on hostgator then switch to other hosting due to some issues. My site wasn’t earning money because I didn’t know the process of making money online. It was a like a puzzle and I’ve joined different programs and bought different ebooks from warriorforum and jvzoo. I’ve encountered wealthy affiliate platform before but I didn’t join because I thought at that time that the monthly subscription is too high and so I went and ignored it.
After years of still not making money online, I came across wealthy affiliate again and I tried to signup for free. I really tried to explore the features and I’ve tried to read the blogs of successful members on the platform and so I told myself that if there are so many members getting result on the platform and they are sharing what they are doing to get result then the training there must really work.
So before the 7 days premium trial expired, I decided to go premium so I can continuously use the tools and access the full course. There are tasks after each lessons and I really tried to finish the videos. There are times that some videos makes me really feel sleepy watching but then I always distract myself and always tell myself that I need to finish the lessons. I really tried my best to do the tasks and finish watching the videos. I knew that I was getting better everyday and learning new things. I’ve developed some skills and making money online is not a puzzle to me anymore.
I tried doing the tasks and after finishing the course. I now have a site that’s getting traffic and I’m making commissions. I learned how to attract people to join my business and learned different types of monetization.
I’m still learning everyday from wealthy affiliate platform. They do have a weekly webinars and members always share their success so I’m really learning from them as well. I apply and implement what I learn and that’s why I’m now getting results.
I really think that the full year membership is so worth it. With just one post on my site now, I was able to recoup my full year membership and I’m earning from different affiliate sites as well. I may not earn that much referring people from wealthy affiliate because many are skeptical and they can’t afford the monthly membership but I still take the time to share it because I know that the training platform works. Most members won’t make money on their first 3 months on the platform but after 6 months of going along with the training, they start getting results.
For me, 6 months learning and implementation at wealthy affiliate is so worth it. It’s the best investment that I’ve spent so far.
I suggest that you signup for free first and explore the platform. Observe the other members, follow the top members to get updates on their activities on the platform. There are many successful members and you can learn a lot from them just by following them within the platform. They provide free guide and tips. Everyone starts as a newbie and after the course, we become more skilled and knowledgeable in building sites and driving traffic.
Wealthy affiliate is a training platform for anyone who wants to learn online marketing. They have a free membership and premium membership. It’s free to signup (no credit card needed) and with their free membership you can try the premium features for 7 days. After 7 days, you won’t be able to access the premium features within the platform but you can stay as a free member forever.
It’s a legit platform with 800,000 members worldwide and you’ll meet different type of people once you become a member. You can connect with like minded people after signup. Signup for free so you can explore the site (risk free). Watch the free video lessons. Tip: after signup, upload a picture and a short description and you’ll see that members will begin to interact with you there. You won’t see anyone promoting other products on the platform. Don’t spam and break the rules if you don’t want your account suspended.
If you decide to become a premium member, then you’ll be able to access all the premium tools, training and features with no upsell. You’ll learn a lot from other members there, and you’ll learn how new members progress as they move along the course. There are discussions after each course lesson. The platform is very transparent and you’ll be able to learn a lot just by observing everything that’s taking place within the platform.
This training platform will teach you how to build a website for any type of business and how to get targeted traffic. Almost everything about online marketing are covered. There are also weekly live webinar so you can ask any questions that you want on any topic.
This site is for anyone who wants to learn how to make money online using legit methods and the skills you’ll learn here can be used in whatever business that you have and you can even use the skills you’ll learn on this platform to further your career if you’re still currently employed.
There are many members on the platform who became more successful in their career and in business by just applying all the things they learned at wealthy affiliate university. It’s for people who want to learn new skills (internet, business, affiliate skills, etc)
Signup for free and explore the platform. You can stay as a free member forever. I recommend the free lessons on the full course and also the free lessons under the WA Bootcamp.
Wealthy Affiliate Membership Tools and Training
You don’t need to buy hosting, keyword tools and other training when you decide to become a premium member at wealthy affiliate. You access all the updated training, keyword tools, chat platform, blogging tools within the platform and all the other site tools that you can use to rank your keywords on google. If you want to succeed online, you’ll need to finish the full course. Many members are skipping some of the lessons and tasks after each lesson that’s why they don’t get result after a few months of joining. I’ve seen a lot of members succeed because they implement what they learn on the platform.
If you ever decide to signup and check the platform, I advised you to follow the members who’ve been successful so that you’ll get an idea on the things that they did inorder for them to become successful. They write tips and guide on what they did to earn thousands of dollars a month on the site but only premium members can read those and all the other premium training and resources. I highly recommend that you try the premium membership to see if this is for you.
I’ve learned so many things with the full course and affiliate bootcamp and all I need to do now is continue implementing what I’ve learned and I can see now that it’s working. It may take a 3-6 months to get results but I guarantee that what they teach there is legit and it’s for a long term passive income. I’m now using the skills I’ve learned within the platform to build sites for other people and even for small businesses. I’m doing it so I can get cash flow while building my niche sites for passive income. The training helps a lot, it gives you skills and knowledge that you can use to earn money and passive income later on.

Note: Unfortunately, not everyone can signup for free. There are many spam complaints from the countries listed below. You won’t be able to access the site for free if you live in one of these countries. If you are really serious in getting this training, signup as a premium member. The 1st month promo for premium member is also not available for these countries.
- Bangladesh
- Egypt
- India
- Nigeria
- Pakistan
- Philippines
- Vietnam
If you live in one of the 7 countries, the only way that you can access the training platform and all the tools and premium features is to pay for the premium membership. Since the free membership and the promo is not available for you, you can pay $49 to become a premium member or you can get the one year plan so it will be cheaper. After 3-6 months of exploring the platform and implementing, you’ll learn how to setup your site, how to drive traffic, you’ll learn what other members within the platform are doing to get results. It may take some time for members to get results with their websites but the skills you’ll learn is priceless. You can always use your newly acquired skills to build your business or to level up in your professional career.
If you can’t access the free membership and you can’t afford the premium, please check the other posts on this website. There are cheaper alternatives. You can always setup your website on a cheap webhosting account. But you’ll have to do a lot of research and spend more time learning different things in various website and you don’t get the kind of support and tools that is offered at wealthy affiliate.
If you have questions, feel free to write it on the comment section below.

Paul says
August 31, 2017 at 6:42 amI heard Nigerians are totally banned on WA even as a premium member, is that really true? Can you please confirm that?
Ann says
September 1, 2017 at 2:00 amHi Paul, Nigerians can access the premium membership but not the free membership. There are countries that doesn’t have access to the free membership. I really wish that they could open the free membership to all so that they can see the value of what the platform offers. It’s one of the best training out there but if people can’t access the platform and see what it has to offer, they won’t see the value of the program.
Before I buy something, I want to know what I’m buying first and then decide if I it’s for me or not. People are skeptical when it comes to online programs like this because of the many scams online and I totally understand them.
I just took the risk when I joined and for the $19 promo for the first month, I learned a lot. I was able to access all the lessons and training without upsells. On the second month, you can stay as a premium member or you can cancel. If you can’t afford their monthly fee, just focused on finishing the lessons on each course on your first month and implement. You won’t make money right away but you’ll have the knowledge and idea on how to build a business online. There are members who would quit because of the monthly fee but you’ll see most of them comeback to the platform..it’s a normal occurence at wealthy affiliate. Wealthy affiliates provide the best training.
helen says
November 15, 2017 at 3:05 amhi an, i am helen. i already have my website and it online.. but i cant afford the monthly here
Ann says
December 15, 2017 at 2:43 amThat happened to us before. You can always signup for free and upgrade once you have enough funds.
You can also upgrade then watch all the videos included in the course. If you are unable to renew your monthly subscription, you can always reactivate your membership anytime. That’s what other members do at wealthy affiliate.
With wealthy affiliate, you won’t make money right away but you’ll learn the skills necessary to make money online. You’ll have more advantage over other online marketers if you enroll and finish the course on this platform.
DARLENE QUIJADA says
March 25, 2018 at 12:48 pmHi Joan, thanks! you make really helpful tips for newbies like me… I signed up for free for more than a month and didn’t really have the time to pay attention to it. I went back to my free account after I read your blog then I cannot access anything on it and its telling me they do not have FREE STARTER ACCOUNT in my country. What shall I do? I do not have the money yet to sign up for a premium account and I want to do it once I learned the ropes. What I want is to try and learn different online marketing tools for free and when I started to earn real commissions that is when I will invest on the things that actually works well for me. Do you think its possible to do it this way?
Joann says
March 27, 2018 at 3:49 amHi Darlene, unfortunately if you live in one of the countries listed below you won’t be able to register for the free membership.
Egypt
India
Bangladesh
Pakistan
Vietnam
Philippines
Nigeria
Kenya
Morocco
This is my #1 recommended training. However, not everyone can afford the monthly fee or annual fee. If you decide to enroll in the future, I recommend that you pay for the 1 year membership to get discount. Remember that you’re not only paying for the training, they will also host your websites on the platform. I guarantee that you will get the best training here.
For the meantime, you can check this program here > https://onlineopportunityguide.com/ulearn-review/
I highly recommend the training and the book for Filipinos. They also do have a way for you to earn money online and what I like most about this community is that they teach ethical marketing.. they won’t teach you how to hype or they won’t show you hype video presentations just to lure you to join. You’ll feel good about promoting this program. Get access to the book. It’s a hard bound copy.

December 24, 2017 at 6:20 pmHi Ann,
I’m a newbie to this kind of stuff but I’m very eager to sign up an account (premium membership) since I reside here in the Philippines. I really don’t have any idea on this thing. However, is it really worth it for me to spend my time on this and get the result within 6 months time as what you’ve said? I’m a family man and really looking for a good extra income and willing to take this seriously come January of 2018.
Hope to hear from you soon. Happy Holidays!
Kind Regards,
Vin
Ann says
December 24, 2017 at 11:34 pmHi Melvin, I can confidently say that this program can help you acquire the skills necessary to make a good extra income online. Your result however will depend on how much time and effort you spend in implementing what you learn in the program. Try the premium membership for 1 month first. Explore the platform and finish the course without skipping the tasks..the skills you’ll acquire at wealthy affiliate will give you an advantage over the other internet marketers.

January 15, 2018 at 2:40 pmHello Ann,
great review . I am just starting with Wealthy Affiliate and hope it to be as good as it seems now. Somehow , I believe that vibrant community on WA is one of its great features. There is always someone online ready to help.
Best of luck,
Alex
Joann says
January 15, 2018 at 4:17 pmOne of the things that I love most about wealthy affiliate is the community. Members are very active and they are always there to help newbies and anyone who needs help. The 24/7 live chat feature is very useful when we need instant response.
I’ve a learned so much from other members as well. They really know how to pay it forward by sharing their progress, results and the steps they did to be successful with their niche sites. The course at wealthy affiliate and the weekly live webinars really helps.
Becoming a premium member is one of the best decision I’ve made so far.
Joann says
January 18, 2018 at 4:49 amIf you want to access the premium membership for $19 (first month) and the sytem is not letting you, contact me or drop a comment here. Will send you an email on how to do it

April 20, 2018 at 5:42 pmHi Joan,
I would like to have a blog and become affiliate marketer but I don’t have blogging skills or writing skills.
Can I learn it through WA?
Joann says
April 20, 2018 at 11:43 pmHi Jo, yes you can definitely learn those skills when you start your lessons at WA. Take the course and don’t skip the tasks after each lesson. Invest in an annual membership. It will be the best investment that you’ll ever make.
Joann says
June 6, 2018 at 5:35 amThis is still my #1 recommended training platform. I have tried and reviewed a number of digital training programs and platforms so I’m confident to say that this platform is the best. You will realized that when you’re halfway on your training. Access their full course when you become a premium member. It’s the best investment I’ve made so far. You will develop new skills and you’ll use those skills that you learn at the platform to earn passive income online.
Sid says
June 15, 2018 at 5:47 amHi Joann,
I signed up to WA since 2015 as free member, but every time I login they always say “free starter accounts are not available in our country (Philippines)”. I’ve been waiting it to be available since then.
Just recently I tried again, the message is still the same and asking me to be a premium member instead to access their program.
Is there other way to be a free member even if it’s not available here in the Philippines?
Joann says
June 15, 2018 at 7:14 amHi Sid, I wish they’d make WA free membership available to all. Due to fraud, spam and complaints..there are countries now that are restricted from joining as a free member. I sent you an email BTW.
Brandon Mamungay says
July 4, 2018 at 7:02 amHi JoAnn,
I’ve found your Blog very useful as I’m seeking an Online Job as a Passive Income and Wealthy Affiliate sounds to me very intriguing, I had read blogs, youtube videos and it seems Wealthy Affiliate feedback is definitely for Online Business Seekers, My only question is, what if I sign up for 1month subcription only, and I had apply all the training provided, and after my subcription or 1 month, I don’t renew my monthly subcription, Do my Own Website will be still LIVE or Productive? or WA will deleted or block?
Second question is can I used WA Website That I Created to apply as a Affiliate Marketer like in Amazon Associate or ClickBank to Promote there product to earn commission.
Please enlighten me.
Thanks
Joann says
July 4, 2018 at 4:17 pmHi Brandon, thanks for visiting my site. You can subscribe as a premium member for a month to access all the training and tools. Once you cancel your premium membership, you’ll be given 30 days to transfer your website to a different hosting account. Free websites won’t be deleted.
The new skills you’ll learn on this platform would definitely give you a great advantage when you’re searching for a job online. Most employers prefer freelancers/employees who are familiar with SEO, website setup, content marketing, digital marketing, email marketing etc.
I had a similar plan when I decided to enroll as a premium member at wealthy affiliate but when I became a member, I saw the value of the tools and the training within the platform so I decided to continue my membership and it was the best decision I’ve ever made.
