I don’t know if you are a completely new to internet business or have at least some experience. I don’t know if you know anything about Wealthy Affiliate.
I want to tell you my story of my Wealthy Affiliate membership and why I think paying for a premium membership is worth your money.
I will explain what you can get from this platform and why it’s important to stay a premium member if you want to be successful in affiliate marketing.
First of all, Wealthy Affiliate is a platform designed for affiliate marketers of all levels.
I have been there since 2014 and know members that are making over $10,000 per month.
If you are completely new to making money online and would like to start your own online business there is no better place than Wealthy Affiliate.
WHY?
1. It’s a scam free zone
2. It’s free from any kind of promotions (downfalls, upsells)
3. It’s an extremely friendly and helpful online business community
4. It has all basic and some advanced tools for a successful online business
My story
I’ve been a member of Wealthy Affiliate since 2014 and know firsthand what WA is about. I know how it can help you. I know how it can’t help you.
The best thing about Wealthy Affiliate is that you can try it free before you decide to become a premium member.
It took me one year to start making money. Some members achieve it in 6 months period. You can see my income proof below.
For more details you can read here.
Why become a premium member?
The idea of being a premium member to Wealthy Affiliate or any other affiliate marketing platform is learning new things, gaining new skills and finally monetizing your membership.
Is this achievable with Wealthy Affiliate? Yes, absolutely! Can anyone achieve it? NO! Then who can achieve it?
Only those that are patient and hard working can achieve their goals in the community. Those who quit after 2,3 months will not achieve anything.
So, if you plan to build an online business and are serious about it then join Wealthy Affiliate.
If you plan to join and quit after 2,3 months then don’t waste your time, don’t join at all. You will wast your time and money in my opinion.
According to statistics only that stay one year at least achieve their goals.
Some of them may be making a few hundred bucks per month, some are making $1,000, some are making WAY more.
The idea is not just paying for your membership. Membership alone can’t make you money.
You need to take action on what you learn and you must take a massive action. It requires 10-20 hours of work per week to be done.
Small action brings to limited results. Massive action brings to significant results. Just keep it mind before you join Wealthy Affiliate.
Is it important to stay a premium member to Wealthy Affiliate?
Now, let’s see why it is important to not only upgrade from starter to a premium membership but also why it is important to stay a premium member.

You no longer need to get domains through other places such as Godaddy, Namecheap, Name.com.

In other places it will cost you extra money, at least $30-$50 of extra payment per year.

What does it mean to you? With Site Comments feature you can get comments on your website even if it’s a brand new website.
This will impact positively your website rankings which means faster and better rankings and more traffic and likely more money.
It’s the only place on the entire web where you can get comments. This feature alone is worth every penny you pay for your wealthy affiliate membership.
Thanks to Site Feedback you can get feedback about your website from real people and improve your website to the point when visitors like and trust your site.
This means more conversions and sales. With Site Content you can easily create your content and use thousands of free images to make your site look more beautiful.
Site Support is simply fantastic. Support responds within minutes if not seconds.
Your website will be up and running almost 99% of the time.
In fact, over the year it’s one of the best support teams I’ve ever come across online.
Get your questions answered
As a premium member of Wealthy Affiliate you get access to Live chat feature, premium message that will allow you to get answers to your questions within minutes or seconds.
Private message gives you access to the founders of Wealthy Affiliate, Kyle and Carson that respond most of the time though they are very busy people.
Isn’t that cool? This is compared to many other platforms where you will never get access to top people.
Plus if you make 300 sales per year you will be invited to Las Vegas business meeting for free (4 days stay at hotel, food, air-tickets) all paid by Wealthy Affiliate.
Access to successful affiliate marketers
As a premium member of Wealthy Affiliate you get access to thousands of other members.
Most of them are people like you that are just starting to build a new business.
But there are many other experienced affiliate marketers from whom you can learn a lot of new valuable things and apply it to your own affiliate business.
You will know exactly what they did and how they made a lot of money. I did so many times and as a result improved my business.
This feature alone is worth thousands of dollars.
Most of them are very friendly people and are always open to help people like you that are new to online business.
Believe me, this feature is invaluable. Unfortunately, this is available to premium members only.
Live weekly events
As a premium member of Wealthy Affiliate you get access to Live Events by Jay (every Friday).
Jay holds weekly live trainings where he talks about latest trends and things that can take your business to the next level.
I always watch and listen to all weekly trainings. They are very valuable.
Each Friday you can ask your questions during live webinar and get answer from Jay himself.
Also, every season you can have your website (business) reviewed by Jay during Hot Seat Webinar and get valuable recommendations on how to improve your website and your business.
Keyword research tool

Motivation
As a premium member of Wealthy Affiliate you get access to a super active community of like minded people ready to help you with your business.
Very often you will hear from other members who share their success stories or achievements in their business.
This feature serves as the best source of motivation for your business. Believe me, it’s very important to keep yourself motivated in your business.
Without this you will most likely quit after 2,3 months. I’ve seen it many times since 2014.
Those who stay as premium members are more likely to achieve success with their affiliate business.
This is what I’ve seen many times since 2014.
Affiliate programs search
As a premium member of Wealthy Affiliate you get access to Affiliate Programs search feature. Finding affiliate programs is a little tricky thing.
With newly introduced Affiliate Programs Search feature you will be able to find affiliate programs for your business in seconds.
Only reputable programs with a good track record are added to WA database.
Earn while you learn
As a premium member of Wealthy Affiliate you can earn while you learn (by creating trainings for other members).
During your learning curve you can create trainings ( text tutorials or videos) to help other members like you.
When anyone watches your training or reads your tutorial you will earn a commission.
Free trainings
As a premium member of Wealthy Affiliate you get access to thousands of free trainings created by other members of Wealthy Affiliate.
This is a great source of information and I’ve personally taken advantage of this feature many times.
Most of the time you can get answers to your questions inside the community without using Google or Youtube.
And the info is most of the time way more valuable than what you can find on those platforms.
Official Wealthy Affiliate Training
And finally, as a premium member of Wealthy Affiliate you get access to Wealthy Affiliate official trainings (Certification Course and Affiliate Bootcamp).
The first one is designed to help you start your business based on your interest and passion and the second one is designed for those wanting to join MMO niche (Make Money) niche.
Both trainings are great and if choose any of these two directions, follow it and take action you will be successful with your online affiliate business.
Final word on Wealthy Affiliate Premium Membership
I think I explained in full transparency what Wealthy Affiliate premium membership is about and how you can benefit from it.
In short, in my opinion staying a premium member is critical for your online success.
This is why I’m still a member of Wa even after 5 years of membership and I have no plans whatsoever to leave the community.
The platform is full of opportunities to build and improve your online affiliate business.
If you still have doubts or questions please leave them in the comments section below and I will be happy to help.
It is great as you say to join as a free member, as I did four years ago, but it just makes a whole lot of sense to upgrade, as the value for money that you get at Wealthy Affiliate is something that you won’t find anywhere else.
To learn how to build an online business at home from scratch is just one benefit, but what about the hosting, domain name, premium hosting and of course the helpful community to keep one motivated and inspired.
I have not regretted upgrading, and will probably stay an upgraded member here for life.
You are right. The value you get is really incredible but results are totally different. The fact is building a business from scratch is not an easiest thing in the world. Some people achieve great results while others decent results. But anyone willing to work hard can achieve their goals. I mean Wealthy Affiliate provides training and tools and no one can guarantee you results. Like you I’ve been a member since 2014 and have no plans to leave WA.
