They say you are supposed to write about what you know about, so I guess sharing my own story would be a good place to start as a review.  Ok, here goes.  I actually started Internet Marketing as a side “hobby” while I was in college.  I was taking a pretty tough curriculum, so I didn’t have much spare time.  Money was pretty low since I needed to pay for gas, textbooks, tuition, and other things.  Also, other than dates with my girlfriend, I didn’t spend much money just for fun.  I needed some extra money, but didn’t have time for a job.

Eventually I decided to look online for some jobs.  There are countless sites that say you can earn a decent income in your spare time, and I decided to try some of these out.  My first experience was with a “secret shopping” service.  I actually found the site on a popular job searching engine, so I thought it was legitimate.  I found I had to pay $30 to join and they would start giving me job offers to go shopping places.  I could keep what I bought for free, and they would pay me to go places.  I decided to give it a try.  Oops!  After paying the money to join, they sent me one or two offers, but they were not anything like what they advertised.  I ended up not getting ANY real opportunities, and actually LOST money with that site.  What a scam!

Next I decided to try online surveys.  There are many free survey sites available, so I decided to try those since I didn’t want to get scammed again.  I actually joined about a dozen different survey sites so I could really crank out some money.  The problem was that I didn’t qualify for most of the surveys, and the ones I did take didn’t pay that well.  Most surveys average about $1 or less.  After about 2 months of taking surveys I earned about $50 combined with these sites.  They were legitimate, but I decided that the amount of time I spent doing surveys was just not worth the amount of money I was getting for them.  Also, signing up for these sites will get your email accounts working pretty hard.  I started getting HUNDREDS of spam emails everyday.  Surveys just weren’t for me.

After deciding that wasn’t for me, I spent time researching different things.  Eventually I accidentally stumbled across a site called Wealthy Affiliate, and didn’t know what to think.  The site looked really professional, so I liked that.  I decided to do some research.  I went to forums and asked questions and was shocked to find that there are absolutely NO bad reviews of it.  Even YouTube only had positive videos about it.  I decided to join the next day.  I’m glad I did.  I was wary at first, since it costs $40 to join.  I didn’t want to get scammed again.  But after joiningWA, I saw that it was not a scam, and was actually a really great site, especially for beginners like me.

I found that it was not a “get rich overnight” scheme, and actually did require hard work.  I decided to try to manage some time for doing affiliate marketing.  It was really confusing at first, but after time it all gets easier.  The first couple weeks I didn’t make any money, but a little after a month I had already made about $200.  That was more than enough to cover the costs of joining.  Long story short (well, ok, I know this hasn’t really been short), I decided that I loved the site, and I plan on staying for a very long time.  If you decide to join, feel free to contact me in the WA forum.  I will also try my best to help you succeed and offer help whenever I can.

Wealthy Affiliate Success Forum

The following picture is a screenshot of the General Success section of the WA forum.  It is a great place for inspiration, because everyday people post their success stories there.  There are countless newbies that post the typical “Yay, my first sale!”  But there are also professionals that keep updating their own stories.  Travis Sago, Thadroe, Kent Verge, and many other members are making over $1,000 every day!  I still haven’t had that level of success, but I’m working hard so I think I’m on the right track.

Also, there is one recent topic from the forum that I wanted to share.  There is a member named Brennen N. that recently posted his story, and I love it so much that I feel obligated to share.  Anyway, he joined WA without any experience and at the end of the first month he was already making $100 a day consistently!  After about two and a half months he was making $300 a day consistently.  I LOVE that story!  If you join WA, I would definitely go read his topic, as it is great inspiration.  I personally only want to make a little extra money for fun and to pay for school, and don’t desire to be what most would consider “rich,” but I can’t say I wouldn’t mind getting his amount of money!
