If you were looking for a Wealthy Affiliate review, I hope you’ll be able to take something away that will help you in deciding if this program is a good fit for you.
First of all, thanks for stopping by to read my review. My name is Robert and I’m originally from Hawaii and now live in beautiful Alabama. With the high cost of living in Hawaii, our family would have never been able to move our finances forward.
I had reached a point in my life where I wanted more than just a good paying and stable job. So I dusted off my entrepreneur shoes and got cracking. Over the course of the last 2-3 years, I’ve been on a search for a program that will provide funding for the traveling our family wants to do.
And I stumbled across wealthy affiliate.
How I Found Wealthy Affiliate
I’ll be honest, I was a little bitter at spending $10000 on another program with only a $100 in sales after a year. And on top of that, I was spending $300+ on tools and $200-$400 on traffic every single month. I started looking elsewhere to find something else that could produce results.
I came across a video of a Wealthy Affiliate member sharing her experience with the program and how she built a few niched websites that was making her money while she slept. And when she said the magic words “Free Training”, I started looking for her link.
I don’t think I even finished the video, I went straight to the website, signed up and started the training. I’m currently a Premium Plus member and enjoy the daily LIVE trainings. (See below for the number of classes that is growing daily)
What I Found Out When I Joined Wealthy Affiliate
In my first week, I learned that this was what I have been looking for, for a very long time. This diagram lays it all out.
Training
There is tons of training and although the core is Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and niched websites, there is a lot of content and training that helps you to build out well rounded strategies. In the image below it shows you how much training classes are currently available and live trainings that are scheduled.
You have a slew of training here at Wealthy Affiliate… email marketing, starting an agency to help local businesses, strategies on how to market, case studies, TikTok and YouTube masterclasses and the list goes on and on.
Members also contribute blog posts that educate, share their ideas, successes and much much more.
Support
When you sign up, there are a few steps you have to complete for your profile and then the Live Chat feature will unlock. It’s on 24/7 and members are helping each other. It really is a very involved community. There are no stupid questions.
If you’d rather post a question outside of live chat, you can do that too and sometimes more than one person in the community will respond with an answer. Kyle the Co-founder will also chime in at times as well.
You can always message people, including the owners, directly through their messaging system.
When you use the platform to build your niched website, there is technical support for that as well.
Ranking System
They say that you can’t improve what you don’t measure. There is a ranking system but this isn’t anything bad. It basically shows how much you contribute to the platform and community. You can really tell who are the active members in the community and their ranking reflects that. You can see that I’m pretty active in the community (based on my ranking in the image up top), so if you have any questions, you can reach out to me once you get your free account.
Affiliate Program
If you want to promote Wealthy Affiliate, you will be able to make commissions on paid referrals once you are signed up. They even teach you how to promote it. And if you are great at it, you could win an all expense paid trip to Las Vegas to meet with all the top affiliates and the founders of Wealthy Affiliate.
Why Choose Wealthy Affiliate Over Other Programs
It’s ABSOLUTELY FREE to get started. Keep your hard earned money and earn while you learn for free.
You can upgrade to Premium which is $49/month or billed annually at $499 at $41.58/month. Weekly expert classes are included along with 3 websites, 3 hubs, 1 free domain, Jaxxy Lite (Keyword Tool), 7K AI credits and more. (It’s a great choice)
You can also upgrade to Premium Plus+ which is $99/month or billed annually at $697 at $58.08/month. Daily expert classes are included along with 10 websites, 10 hubs, 2 free domains, Jaxxy Enterprise ($99/month value), 15K AI credits and more. (What I have)
There is a two week trial for Premium Plus+ if that is something you’d like to take for a spin. You can always downgrade.
Another Premium Plus Accelerated plan has just been introduced, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves.
OTHER affiliate marketing programs will tease you with a front end offer that costs between $1 – $197. These offers will show you the basics of affiliate marketing and before you are even settled in, you’ll be drooling to get the results of the top earners. In order to see those results, you’ll have to fork over $2000 to $30000 to get more training and coaching.
It doesn’t stop there, they got more stuff to sell to you. There will be a masterclass for $1997. About 3-6 months later, there will be another master class for $997. Oh and your training is not out of date, so you need to buy the new training. YOU CAN BE SURE THAT THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN HERE AT WEALTHY AFFILIATE.
In Wealthy Affiliate, you’ll get to keep your emergency fund and life savings. You’ll get to keep your home and family and most important, your sanity.
Work at your own pace and it’s no pressure. Take the training you need and implement it as needed and if you have any questions, just ask the community or me.
The results you get from Wealthy Affiliate is like an investment account. The more you put into it, the more the dividends pay out.
Here are some quotes that describe Wealthy Affiliate:
“Slow and steady wins the race.” – Robert Lloyd
“Someone is sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.” – Warren Buffet
Oh… Did I mention Wealthy Affiliate has a great score on Trust Pilot!

Hello!
I just found your review for Wealthy Affiliate and I must say that it is the best platform I have ever used to learn about affiliate marketing, but not just that, there is so much more to learn in its classes! It is not a make-money-fast platform though, you really need to put in the work, but it is totally worth it!
I wish you lots of success with your business
I was talking to someone and they likened this to planting a garden. Becoming a member is kinda like buying the tools, wood, dirt, seeds, etc. And you plant the seed and wait. You water the dirt and wonder why it’s taking to long to sprout and start questioning if you drowned the seeds ?. But then you see one, two, four and many more sprout. The next thing you know, is that you garden is overgrown and out of control. That’s the power of this.
Hey,
This is a great review of Wealthy Affiliate.
I have been part of Wealthy Affiliate for a long time and I believe it to be the best affiliate marketing business on the internet.
How they set up our websites and how easy it is to log in.
The people that sign up and the leader Kyle is so great. His training curriculum is brilliant and I haven’t seen anything better.
Keep up the great work and thank you for sharing such a review.
All the best,
Tom
Agreed! It’s affordable, filled with more training than you could dream of and members that come through to help you individually or as a community.
I couldn’t agree more with this fantastic review of Wealthy Affiliate! As a fellow member, I’ve experienced firsthand the incredible value this platform offers. The community support is unparalleled, and the extensive training resources have been instrumental in helping me grow my online business.
Thank you Med. The platform has transformed into an absolutely great place to for anyone to start their journey. It’s so cool seeing people come in and chatting with them and learning about their journey. I wish people would start here before getting screwed over by other “money grabbing” programs.
I really appreciate your detailed breakdown of Wealthy Affiliate! Your journey from being skeptical to becoming a Premium Plus member resonates with me. It’s great to see someone who’s navigated the ups and downs of affiliate marketing and found a solid platform like Wealthy Affiliate.
I totally agree with you about the value of the free training and the supportive community. The no-pressure approach to learning and the fact that there are no hidden costs or upsells is a big plus. It’s refreshing to see a program that focuses on genuine education rather than just pushing high-ticket offers.
Thanks for sharing your experience so candidly. I’m sure this will help many who are on the fence about joining. I’m excited to dive into the training myself and see where it takes me. Keep up the great work!
Thanks Kavitha for your comment! Continue to dig into the platform, it’s become so streamlined that it’s so fun to create content and when you can partner up with someone and make a friend, it makes the journey so much more enjoyable.
I was really tired of all the upselling in other platforms. They made it seem like you “needed” it.
Here you can focus on getting on a rhythm and just putting in the work that just takes a few minutes.
If I had done this 11 years ago and stuck to it, I’d be in a much more different place.
Thanks again ❤️
I have been a member of Wealthy Affiliate for almost ten years now and I must say it is one program that I will probably keep for life. I have learned so much and I keep learning all the time as new things come about.
For anybody wanting to learn how to create their own income online, this is the perfect answer to get your website going and making a sustainable income for you. It’s like having your own online shop.
Hi Michel, I guess I’ll have to message you inside 😊 Thank you for your comment. I have came across a bunch of lifers and also new folks that are getting started who are really reaching out for help. The price point is a no brainer because you are getting to host your domains with emails. You could also host a businesses website here as well and play the agency model if you wanted to and that alone would pay for a membership. Gotta get a little creative and being a part of the community helps you get those juices flowing. ✌️
Hey Robert,
I loved the breakdown of Wealthy Affiliate and your personal journey with the program. You’ve really pointed out why it stands out from other platforms, especially with the incredible community support and comprehensive training you can get. Your experience along with your insights are super helpful for anyone looking to dive into affiliate marketing and niched websites without feeling overwhelmed. This looks like a program I’ll have to give a gander.
Happy Travels,
Opa
Yessir. It won’t hurt to check it out. It’s better than getting locked into a program for 10K through high pressure sales tactics.
Hi, thank you for this review of Wealthy Affiliate training platform. I have liked your openness about other platforms that have hidden costs, on top of what is advocated on their websites. Those hidden costs are a hindrance to growth as they may drain you and thus eat your time to concentrate on serving your audience. You have also pointed out that you started at Wealthy Affiliate by undertaking a free statrter package. I think this is great for the company to ensure that one decides to join as a paid member when he/she is sure of what they offer. Moreover, they have no hidden costs, which I term as being transparent. Thank you so much for this review, and I think anyone thinking a clear understanding of affiliate marketing should enroll with Wealthy Affiliate.
Thanks for your comment Hawumba! The platform has vastly evolved in the last year. New users are guided in what to do and the results have increased exponentially. I know money is important, but if people can put the thought of money aside and actually focus on doing what’s needed that results in money, then they will likely be more successful. Everyone is so focused on the money. SMH. All they have to do is create an article every few days and the platform makes it so easy. Much blessings to you Hawumba! Robert
