Wealthy Affiliate A NEGATIVE Review

Pretty hard to find a sensible negative review of Wealthy Affiliate.

​

The video below questions whether Wealthy Affiliate is a scam, or if not a scam worth your investment.

​

​This is a non affiliated review of WA...

Zerofatz for me does a pretty decent job of reviewing WA on the fly.

​

I like his 4 rules for reviewing online opportunities...

​

1. Is the product understandable & stable?

2. What's the creator intrigity

3. Are there long term prospects with the product?

4. Is there Intrinsic value... what's it worth to you.

​

Pretty sound set of criteria.

​

So how does Wealthy Affiliate score...

​

1. PASS - Free membership, try it out, clear navigation.

2. PASS - Creator Integrity was given a pass because of the free membership, and hype-free website. No claims of earning or other over hyped copy usually associated with this market.

3. 50/50 - Long term prospects. Zerofatz scores WA good for teaching affiliate marketing. In his opinion an evergreen skill that will always be of value.

​

Though Zerofatz was very concerned about being 'tied-in' to Wealthy Affiliate. The having all your eggs in one basket being a risky prospect (it is).

​

4. FAIL - Zerofatz actually passes WA on the FREE membership but doesn't feel the service would be worth $47 per month.

​

So they're you have it a non affiliated, slightly negative review. ​

​

Personally I think it's a good review, I like his criteria... very sound.

​

I also think he has a pretty good understanding of What WA is about.

​

Sure he's misunderstood a few points, but hey I've been a WA member for 3 years, and I'm still learning stuff myself.

​

Only serious misunderstandings are around whether WA is ALL about teaching people how to promote WA itself.

​

Sure the WA Bootcamp training is about that. But that's NOT the recommended approach for newbies (because it's way harder than other markets).

​

Promoting WA is really for people that can't make up their mind about what niche to go into.​

​

Most WA members make their money promoting other affiliate schemes (Amazon is super popular) or by putting Google Adsense on their sites.​

​

Also the hosting doesn't tie you to WA like Zerofatz feared.

​

Your free websites WA give you can be easily moved to your own hosting with your own domain name at no charge.

​

The costing can also be clarified...

​

Option 1 Unlimited duration free membership​

Option 2 Premium Membership first month $19​ (full access to EVERYTHING reduced from $47)

Option 3 Premium Membership after the first month is $47 per month.

Option 4 Annual premium membership which can drop your lower your costs to $299 per year (see details here).

​

The only other thing I'd add is that for most people. Your not going to be promoting WA, so you really don't need to stay a premium member a moment longer than you have to. 

​

Meaning you can join for free, test it out, go premium 'cram' in the premium training​ and then go back to being a free member.

​

Loads of people do this. You can also rejoin the premium scheme again later if you want to... sensible right?

​

So if you had time you could probably cram everything you need into 1 month for $19, but I would suggest you budget for 3 months.
