My Experience With Wealthy Affiliate University

Today is my 2-Month anniversary with Wealthy Affiliate University. I had never heard of WAU until the day I joined. Someone on Yahoo send me an email. It sounded interesting so I looked at sight. After being years on the Internet making too little money, I took the WAU bait which was this:

1. The gurus won't really help you that much.

I knew that already. I have big investment in gurus with nothing to show for it.

2. You can make money with what they call Bum Marketing on the WAU campus. That means you spend no money. You write articles and blogs to sell products.

I have been an article writer for many years. The first thing I learned was that i was not using the resource boxes on my articles correctly to produce sales. I contacted Ezineartiticles.com and they changed my source boxes on 462 articles in one fail swoop.

3. They push PPC teaching you how to beat the system.

I've lost my shirt with PPC over the years. Now I have a half dozen campaigns and I'm getting great help from the search engine's service techs. I'm making money rather than losing it.

4. The best thing of all at WAU is the tutoring.

I was given constant attention for two months. I got an email about every day telling me what is was doing wrong and how to do it right. I'm now being weaned, but every email is answered withing 24 hours.

5. The Forums at WAU are fantastic.

I've learned tons of things from the forums. I love to read the success stories. I feel great when a WAU student says he has had his first $100.00, $500.00 or $1000.00 day.

I take part in the forums and I try to welcome new students and give them a hand.

6. Sharing Space

This is great. There you can read tutorials from the students and staff. I have written a half dozen tutorials myself. I learn, I teach, I profit.

7. Every month WAU spreads the wealth, giving $10,000.00 to the students. These little bonuses are given to each student in 10 gold coins worth a dime. We pass the gold coins around. I have about 40 at this writing having given 13 away. Thursday, I will get 10 more free coins to give away. It's fun to share. When you have an excess of $10.00 you get the money with your monthly affiliate commissions.

You can't imagine how great it is to deal with Carson and Kyle at WAU and the other members. There is so much to learn every day. I find myself spending a lot of time there just learning and chatting with other students.

8. The best of all is the 8-week study course. When I looked at the resources for marketing, etc, and the lesson content, and the tutorials I knew that I would be at WAU for the long haul. I joined for a full year just to make sure I did stay. That was the best thing I ever did, not to save the $10.00 a month from the $39.00 monthly tuition, but to makes sure that this time I would not fail.

I have finished the 8-week Course but I still go back and study the lessons and I repeat many of the tutorials to get my old ways out of my head so that I can make money.

I am at last making some money on the Internet. Carson said that I will be making a full time income next year at this time.

It's not so much that I need money now, but I'm retired on a fixed income. I know what inflation does over the years. I have to look to my future even though I am 76 years old. Right now, I'm hesitant to drive any long distance because of the cost of fuel.

So, I'm saying this: If you want to learn how to make money on the Internet, there is only one place to go. Read my free PDF at my website

Gurus are simply Internet marketers. If you stay away from them, at least at first, you can make money on the Internet without going broke. Once you are a guru yourself, you can hobnob with them and share more wealth.

There are a number of ways to drive traffic to your site at zero cost to you. So, you need to find a niche market with hungry buyers. Then you find a product to put between them.

That's all there is to it.
