I highly recommend Wealthy Affiliate to anyone serious about building a solid, sustainable online business. Ideal for creating your Laptop Lifestyle!

So let’s dig into the Who, What, Why of Wealthy Affiliate…

What is Wealthy Affiliate & Why might I need it?

A huge helpful network of like-minded people, from those just starting out to those running successful online businesses, that you can easily interact with 24/7 including Kyle & Carson the founders of WA via…

• Live Chat

• Plus a dedicated technical support team for our websites

There is no stupid question in the WA community. Everyone understands that everyone has a different level of experience. You are highly encouraged to ask your questions, should you have any, to get them answered so you can move forward & not left hanging in the dark.

Starting a new business online or offline can be a daunting process and feel like a lonely journey but it doesn’t have to be. The WA community is like having your own mastermind group. Not only can you have your questions answered, but you can ask for feedback on your sites / blog / posts / …anything really, brainstorm ideas. You’ll receive tips, guidance and encouragement. This type of support is priceless. You’ll make new friends!

What tools are included?

You’ll have access to everything you need to create your online business within your membership area. So you can put your training into action straight away and watch your business take shape and grow. I love the fact that it’s all under one roof and that I can create many websites at no additional cost.

• Website Builder
• Thousands of themes / templates to choose from
• Thousands of additional ‘features’ available to personalise your website
• Optimised & Secure Cloud Hosting
• Keyword & Competition Research Tool
• Link tracking & cloaking

What levels of membership are there?

There are only 2 – nice and simple!

• Starter Member: $0
• Premium Member: $49 per month or save more with the $495 yearly subscription which works out to only $41.25 per month – $93 off (basically a 2 month discount).  Yearly Premium Members also get a Free .com Domain ($14 value) + 100 Community Credits

What do I get as a Free member?

A Starter Membership really is Free for as long as you want it – you get…

• 1 sub-domain Websites with Hosting

• Access to the Keyword Research Tool for 30 searches

• Access to the Level 1 Online Entrepreneur Certification – Getting Started course.
  By the end of these 10 lessons you will have found your passion/topic, built your website, set the foundations for attracting visitors & earning.

• Access to Phase 1 of the WA Affiliate Bootcamp – Starting Your Foundation.
  10 lessons that complement your learning of the Getting Started course above but with a ‘predefined’ topic that you can build as a business.

Lessons included:

• Access to 2 of the 13 Training Classrooms
  Giving you additional Video & Written tutorials with live and archived Q&A section.

• Plus for your first 7 days you have access to the Premium Live Support & 1-on-1 coaching.

All this for zero $. Why? Simply because with so many undesirable programmes out there, WA want to give you the opportunity to build your online business on the right ethical footing with a strong foundation. I have found this Free Starter Membership alone delivers more than many other programmes out there charging $97 or more.
