Blog6 - Wealthy Affiliates

In my 4th blog, I mentioned that I had signed up with the Wealthy Affiliate program. This is a progress note and more...

Wealthy Affiliates starts you off on a 8-week training program that has 50 outcomes of knowledge that you are expected to have learned by the end of the program. These cover every aspect of internet sales from setting up websites, marketing your products, getting paid for clicks on your website, communication, setting up business campaigns, etc. By the end-of-week1 you should know the following:

What is Internet marketing and how does Wealthy Affiliate fit into the mix?
How WA can help
How to earn money with the WA Affiliate Program – Refer a friend only
Using your time wisely, understanding why WE (Kyle & Carson) create resources
Benefits of WA Spaces, Jobs, and taking full advantage of the Forum
How to get help (using help, site map, and contacting us…rules)

They really push communication and in the 1st week, you supposed to sign up for their forum and make at least 3 posts, one being an introduction of yourself. The rest of the week you are expected get your personal information entered and become familiar with their website and how to use it. I have most of my assignments done for week 1. Setups are done and I have made 2 posts and plan a 3rd one today. I have already discovered that as a newby, you aren't really sure of what you should post about so my first two posts were about myself. I expect today I will post about how I got to Wealthy Affiliates.

My initial impressions with the Wealthy Affiliates is positive especially the price. I am in group of 4 who started off using another organization, Thrive Learning, and we signed up for $4000. After our introductory sessions, etc., they wanted $10,000 to teach us everything that I see Wealthy Affiliates teaches. Do not get me wrong about Thrive Learning. I learned a lot from them in a very short and wouldn't be were I am today if it was not for them. One of the big things was how to buy and sell on eBay. Prior to Thrive Learning, I did not know how to buy or sell on eBay and how PayPal worked etc. I now have my own websites ainsworthetc.com and chuckytrader.com and an eBay account that uses PayPal for payments.
