If you’re wondering whether or not Wealthy Affiliate is a scam, so am I.

I’m always very leary of these types of paid membership sites and actually looked over Wealthy Affiliate last year before deciding to pass on it at that time.

This weekend, the topic of Wealthy Affiliate came up while I was chatting with an old forum friend.  He signed up for their course 3 weeks ago and liked what he saw so far, so I decided I would give it a test run myself to determine if it is worth it for me.

Wealthy Affiliate Will Not Make You Rich We will Teach you how to Make Yourself Rich.

Why did I have a change of heart?

To be completely honest, I fully believe that everything we all need to succeed is freely available on the net via newsletters, discussion forums, etc.  My decision to give Wealthy Affiliate a test run was not purely for the educational value, although they do provide significant value in the member area of the site.

If I like it and find enough value, I’ll be happy to promote it wholeheartedly.  Due to the way it is set up, I’ll ultimately have to ask myself the same question MLMers need to ask about their programs, “If there wasn’t a compensation plan attached, would I still be willing to pay for what I’m promoting?”

My main motivation for giving it a shot was to see if it truly helps me have a more structured approach to my marketing.

You see, I have plenty of knowledge rattling around in my brain.  But like most, I have rarely applied it consistently to my marketing.  So my results have been inconsistent.

Technically, I would still be considered more successful than most marketers because I have actually made money online when most never make a dime.  Nothing that I can retire on mind you, but I pull in a few bucks each month.

What I will be doing is going through their 8 Week Action plan step by step and taking advantage of the multitude of resources offered as well as the knowledge shared in the Wealthy Affiliate forums to see how it all plays out.

I’ll be posting my progress or lack thereof on my Work At Home Network site under the Affiliate Programs and Products Testing section.  I’ll be posting once or twice a week with my thoughts.

If you want to try Affiliate Wealth University along with me, feel free.  If you have some thoughts, good or bad, share them with a comment.

BTW, even if it is everything it says it is, there is never a guarantee of success for any of us.  We all have to apply ourselves and put our knowledge to work for the best chance to succeed.  This program is just a tool to help that along, not a magic pill.

Best wishes for your success.
