Wealthy Affiliate Is Not a Get-Rich-Slow Scheme

Wealthy Affiliate Is Not a Get-Rich-Slow Scheme

We all know that Wealthy Affiliate isn't a get-rich-quick scheme.

You know the ones I mean.

The ones that promise instant wealth (one of our beta testers made $2,947 on their very first day) by the press of a magic button which utilizes a previously unknown loophole that they are amazingly willing to let you have for only $17. How good is that?

Unless you're new to online business and unfortunately naïve, you'll recognize these as scams. If you click on the link but don't buy the product, you will likely be offered an immediate discount. If you do buy the product (with or without the discount) you'll find yourself in the rabbit warren of an upsell funnel, where you'll be offered one thing after another, all designed to make the original product work better. Some in fact will seem essential to making it work properly. The upsell pages are written using hypnotic marketing. They are designed to appeal to your FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) and to make you feel that you would be a fool not to buy them.

The product will be sufficiently complex to use that you will feel that it's your own technical incompetence that's the problem here.

They are just hoping that you will persevere beyond the refund period so that they keep whatever you've spent.

If you haven't taken the upsells, you will probably get emails saying that they've kept them available just for you.

Wealthy Affiliate Is the Tortoise (that wins the race)

While Wealthy Affiliate isn't a get-rich-quick scheme, it's not a get-rich-slow one either.

What it does recognize is that building a long-term, viable business takes time and effort.

In that sense, an online business is no different from a bricks and mortar business.

You have to put time into both, but the big difference comes in the cost.

A bricks and mortar business is VERY costly to set up. You have to find premises, pay a deposit, commit to a lease, buy equipment, hire staff etc. etc. In contrast, for an online business, you only need a domain name and a web host to get going.

Wealthy Affiliate provides both of those things, and it's not even the main thrust of their model.

Because the other thing and in fact the main thing that you need is training.

To learn how to build your website(s) and then how to monetize them.

Wealthy Affiliate has the best training in the business, 120 lessons, both video and text based.

Along with an incredibly supportive community on the same journey as you and always ready to help out with advice and encouragement.

As a Premium member, you get all the training for just $49 a month, with the first month discounted to $19. And you can host up to 10 websites at no extra cost.

It really is the best value on the Internet for starting your lucrative online business.

And you can start for free, with no commitment! Check out Wealthy Affiliate HERE.

Phil Lancaster


Phil is a septuagenarian who has now funded his retirement through internet marketing.

"It's both enjoyable and lucrative," says Phil. "and can literally be run from anywhere in the world with an Internet connection. Like many others out there, I initially poured money into the bright, shiny pebbles. The one off, brilliant opportunities that promised an overnight income with the push of a button. The only thing they did, besides suck up funds like a vacuum cleaner, money that I couldn't afford, was take up so much time that I ended up depressed as well as poorer. It wasn't until I learned how to build a genuine business (I now have 22 of them) in both affiliate marketing and e-commerce, using the platform and tools that I tell you about on this website, that I turned it all around. I now make a substantial and sustainable retirement income and I want to teach you how to do the same."
