Online Courses For Affiliate Marketing- Why Pay Thousands To Go To School?
You’ve just graduated from high school. Or maybe you decided you want a change in careers. You hear all the time about people making money online. So you decide to ask. How do you do it? What’s your secret to making money on the internet? Their simple reply, “I do affiliate marketing.”
Okay, that’s awesome. Now you know where to start. Of course, you probably have no idea how to get started. Maybe you have never even really used the internet before, other than buying something on Amazon. So you turn to your best friend Google for the answer. You decide you want to find some school to attend. Problem is, it can cost you thousands of dollars to do it. Hence, this is why so many people have student loans that take years to pay off.
So now you are in a dilemma. How can you afford this? The answer is simple. You will look for cheap online courses for affiliate marketing. Usually, it’s cheaper to just do courses online anyways, right? At least compared to a traditional school. Okay, so now you need to figure out what’s affordable, and obviously which one is the best training with the best value. Besides why pay thousands when I can help direct you to the best place in the world? If you are unsure what exactly affiliate marketing is; You can click here to check out my post that explains it a little bit.
Advantages of Affiliate marketing
OK, so if you have made it to this point, hopefully you understand what affiliate marketing is. If you still don’t, in a nutshell, you are basically promoting other people’s products and getting paid a commission for it. Many marketers do this for a full time living, and if some school teacher tells you they know how to do it successfully; then you should be asking them,”So why are you teaching it then? If you know how to do it so well, why are you not doing it yourself?” This is the problem with many traditional schools. They claim they know how to do it and charge thousands for the courses, but they all typically had little success. Anyways, there are tons of advantages to affiliate marketing.
- You get to choose what you want to promote
- You work your own schedule
- You are your own Boss of the business
- You don’t have to create your own product (Many people cringe at making one)
- You don’t have to deal with customer complaints
- You don’t have to handle inventory
- You can make a full time living doing this
- Once established, you can make money while you sleep
- Freedom to vacation when you want to
These are just a few of the advantages, there are so much more to it than that. So, now I’m sure you can see why many people enjoy working from home. It gives them the freedom to spend more time with their families. Working that 9-5 job (just over broke) doesn’t cut it. It only provides the means of surviving but not living a good life. We all want to do better for ourselves, and that is why you are here today.
A Course That Charges A Thousand Dollars For Six Weeks Of Learning Is A Rip Off
Why do I say this? Even if is say… $300 dollars; it would still be a rip off. Like I said. A lot of teachers aren’t teaching affiliate marketing correctly or they would be doing it themselves. They should at least be able to show you some of their work. If you were to spend a thousand dollars for a six week course, I could give you, in comparison
- Almost A Three Year Membership,
- Thousands Of Different Training Modules
- Free Web Hosting
- Free Websites To Build With
- Unlimited Access To Expert Affiliate Marketers That Are Making A Full Time Living With This Program
Some of these affiliate marketers are even making a million. If you want to learn to succeed, you need to learn from the best. So, think about it. You are getting one thousand times more value with what I will offer than some six week course. The six week course doesn’t even really provide much of anything I said I can offer. All of the information charged at an outrageous price will always be found at a lower price, if you do your research. Even if you don’t join the program that I use, you can still learn with similar programs. Though, I will be bias and argue that I don’t know of a better program out there.
Welcome To Wealthy Affiliate University
This is hands down the greatest program I have run into. There are over 100,000 people active in the community that will agree with what I am saying. I started out with no knowledge of what affiliate marketing is, as well as, no knowledge on how to make money online. I researched and researched and ran into a lot of scams that tainted people’s minds with thoughts of making thousands tomorrow with little effort today. They almost consumed me too.
Luckily, I prevailed and found this opportunity. The thing about scams are, they won’t give you any information about the program and what you would learn until after you pay some upfront cost. The only thing they state is the program works and you will make a lot of money off of it. Well, Wealthy Affiliate is different. Not only do they deliver what they promise, they also let you get started for free without the need of a credit card. They give you training for free and teach you how to build two free websites. No, not all the training is free, but you will get twenty free lessons. ten lessons on how to turn your passion into a full time income, and ten lessons on how to promote Wealthy affiliate, if you are unsure what passion you want to make a website for. You’ll learn:
- Search Engine Optimization
- Keyword Research
- Email Marketing,
- Social Media Marketing
- Building A Website Without The Technical Aspects
- And so Much More.
On top of that gaining one-on-one access to experts that have been doing this for years. This is the only place like that, and if you are serious you can start now. It doesn’t matter what your technical background is. I went from being a store manager at a Domino’s Pizza to jumping here. Click here to read my story. I knew nothing about what was taught here. Now, I know how to build a website (It only takes 30 seconds). I also know how to rank on the top pages of Google, without paying for traffic. I’ve obviously learned a lot more than that, but I just wanted to give some examples for you.
Wealthy Affiliate Testimonials
Now, obviously everyone likes to hear what other people think about a program. Why take my word for it? I’m the one promoting it. I understand that. So I took some screenshots from within the WA community of people’s testimonials. Feel free to read all of them here, there’s a lot.
As you can see, between newer members and the ones that have been hear for years; All of the members that have joined, all agreed that this place is the best of its kind. Unmatched by no other. Many have come here and created a tons of success. Anybody can do it. These testimonials are all legitimate and you will find them in the link above.
Cost For The Access To These Online Courses And Community
So you understand it’s free to get started, right? But what about the paid membership? The great thing about this program is there are no up-sells. You either use the free membership, or you use the paid membership. The cost is $49 dollars per month. If you upgraded to yearly, it would only cost $360 dollars per year. That’s 98 cents a day. To put this in perspective of the value. If you supposedly already knew everything and didn’t need training; you would benefit from just having access to expert internet marketers alone that do this for a full time living. Just remember, you need to put in the work to get the results. You can think of the program as a university where you will “Earn while you learn.”
So, Once Again. Why Pay Thousands, To Go To School?
Online courses for affiliate marketing can be and are provided at much more reasonable prices. Though, you will not find a better value for a lower price. You can keep looking if you want. Most online programs will at least constantly up-sell you, if not scam you. Here, you can test it out before you even pay a penny. You don’t even have to surrender your credit card. It’s the same thing when you purchase a car. You test drive it first, before you buy it. Now, I do want you do something first. Check out my full extensive review of Wealthy Affiliate University, before you sign up. I don’t want you to just jump the gun, but I do want you to at least give the program a test drive. You will never know what you missed, unless you try it out yourself.

Dear Brandon,
I am highly impressed with the writing aspect you have taken here on saying how College Education couldn’t even dare come close to how you are given the Training and Support you can only get through Online Education at Wealthy Affiliate University.
I mean, wow! The statistics and common sense on seeing how college education is expensive couldn’t be further from the truth as a whole. But, to make matters worse, high school students are being pushed more than ever to go to college. Almost like it is mandatory or else they won’t be successful in life having no job at all.
I know this may seem off topic, but suppose you wanted to inform others about Wealthy Affiliate in to a group of high school students, would you feel they will be skeptical or will be more likely to see that Wealthy Affiliate will be much more better than having to attend College in general?
I’d like to know your thoughts on this because I feel a bit tempted to have flyers plastered all over my own College about Wealthy Affiliate and all the benefits it has to offer which college education seems to lack greatly nowadays with.
Wishing you all the best with your online success above and beyond the horizon,
~Angel
Hey Angel,
That’s a great question you have. Posting flyers, like you mentioned, is a form of Guerrilla Marketing. It’s a great way to gain a bigger audience at a low cost. Doing it in the right settings can always be a huge advantage for you. When I worked for Domino’s Pizza, sometimes I would send a driver to put coupons on peoples windows. Many would probably throw it on the ground, but there are the few that will look at it and then put it their pocket to look into more later. These could be people that would have never found you otherwise or people that needed a reminder your still around. Maybe the second time around they come through for you. It’s a great way to expand your business and because it’s more unorthodox, less people do it. This could be a way to beat out your competition. I would be careful with high school students because that could always cause issues for the parents, but college would be great.
Best Regards,
Brandon
So, that is what guerilla marketing is. I have heard of guerilla warfare before, but this is something new to me. Yes, the concept of that technique is familiar but never knew what it was known as until now. Thanks for teaching me something new. 🙂
You do bring up a great deal of good points with that and I know even in several supermarkets where we park and get our groceries from, we return to find a flyer there. I usually try to save it and look into it since I am well curious by nature. My parents try to not look that much into it with interest.
True that, high school students, that is tough. It is sad that they are being pushed to think that college is the way to go to be successful in life.
But, take the people who didn’t go to college even but were still successful, right?
They could have a part time job or so, make a bit of income while working with their Website through the education they can get through being a part of Wealthy Affiliate University.
However, the way in which that banner or flyer advertises on WA should be worded well enough to not even anger the profs either because they wouldn’t want to compete with a better alternative to providing students with better education also.
Just a thought, but most are skeptical as is on these things, wouldn’t you agree? For some, they want to see money right away, others think they need a job that will pay them by the hour and such. :/
Hey Angel,
Yes, there is a big difference between guerrilla marketing and warfare haha. It can work very well, but I would never do it until you add value to your site. While this is something that isn’t taught correctly in traditional colleges, you still can’t replace education. I haven’t made it to college yet, but I do plan on going someday soon so I can expand my knowledge.
Of course, Wealthy Affiliate is a great starting point before or while you are in college. The education you can receive in WA teaches you how to create your own business and that’s what a lot of people want. Their own business to create whatever dream they have. But, it doesn’t teach you how to be a doctor if that was your true dream. So, really depends what you are going to college for. If your going for business, then ya it’s a great, cheaper alternative since you will be able to follow your passion.
Unfortunately, because working from home and making money online still seems unorthodox for a lot of people they don’t think it’s not feasible to become really successful. Truth is more and more people are starting to work for themselves everyday and as we progress the amount of people will increase.
It’s quickly becoming more and more common to happen. The best part, half of the people that work full time from home have less than a bachelor’s Degree. Which means a majority of the people working from home are “uneducated” people. Not calling them dumb, as that means I would be too, but a lot of the good paying jobs out there expect you to have bachelor degrees or higher.
When you build your own business online, you don’t have to have any degree or any experience. All you need is the will too start your own business. Everyone that tries to build an online business hasn’t failed. They either succeeded or quit before the finish line. People forget it is a “business” and you can’t expect results overnight. Anyone that promises rags to riches is scamming you.
Those that stick with their hourly job are looking more so for security than freedom. There’s nothing wrong with that, but if you truly want to be successful, and it doesn’t matter what it is, you can’t be afraid to fail. You can’t be afraid to step outside your “comfort zone”. You will never truly be free until you do. Of course, that’s just my opinion.
Best Regards,
Brandon
