| Wealthy Affiliate University |
Since my start in 2012, I’ve practiced a lot of trial and error concerning internet marketing. I spent about a year finding information on my own, trying to learn as much as I could without spending money.
I soon found this to be a very frustrating and tedious way to learn the business. My biggest concern was I didn’t know where the info was coming from. On top of that, was I spending my time on suggestions that didn't even work, or worse, hurt my marketing reputation?
That’s about the time I joined Wealthy Affiliate.
But now I’ve been a member of Wealthy Affiliate for almost six months. Why use Wealthy Affiliate if I haven’t seen a return yet?
It really come down to what I’m getting out of it.
I know there’s huge potential for internet marketing. There’s just so many ways to approach this business, I can’t help to see the potential in it. So, I still pay for my subscription because:
Training- I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again, I’ve learned more in a month after joining Wealthy Affiliate than I did on my own the year prior to joining. The website builder alone makes it so easy to build a site, I just follow it step by step and I have site ready for content in minutes.
Tools- I’ve wasted full Sundays doing keyword research for my articles, making it a long, tedious and sometimes a task I used to avoid (unacceptable when it comes to keywords). The keyword tool alone has saved me countless hours of cross-referencing and, to tell the truth, really don’t know what I would do without it
Support- Having a network of successful online entrepreneurs to ask questions and get feedback from is priceless. The community is full of support, not only from members, but the owners, as well. So no more worries about where the information is coming from!
So, yeah, I’m not making any money yet, but that’s not going to deter me from continuing my membership at Wealthy Affiliate. If anything, it will make me work harder, smarter and enjoy the accomplishment more when I do make a sale.
I neglected to mention an inspiration to all this. Dominic Wells recently posted some earnings and I was extremely motivated. I think he joined a few months before I did and is already showing excellent returns. Thanks, Dom!
Are you new to internet marketing? How long would you continue without making a profit?
