IS AFFILIATE MARKETING WORTH IT?

Is affiliate marketing worth it? Before we start, please check out some of the success stories here. It will surely give you a hint if affiliate marketing is worth it.

Those successes are not done overnight. Those successes are done through hard work, and those successful individuals committed time and effort to make their online business successful. If you have checked out those stories, you will notice that some are doing their business in faraway places.

They are having vacations all year round without a need of a nine to five job. Some of them are considered digital nomads. They just go where the sun is. Well for sure it is in one of those white sand beaches in a tropical country. Everything is done in automation so you can be anywhere as long as there is an internet connection to be able to have updates.

You will be your boss, and you work when you like. No one will give you orders what to do anymore. Some of those who are successful in online business never have the experience to work as an employee. Some are doing full time online before they even graduated college.

If you ask me if I am successful myself, I am still new to this, but I already see results. Check out my blog in Wealthy Affiliate.  My Best Pay In Wealthy Affiliate so Far.

So is it worth It?

In my honest opinion, it is very much worth it. This business is the type of activity that will allow you to have all the time to enjoy your passions in life. You can be together with your loved ones all the time and at the same time have financial freedom.

You can even turn that passion into an online business. In my previous post,  I have explained how to turn your passion into an online business by being an affiliate.

This business is the type of activity that requires only time and effort and a minuscule amount of money. You do not need to invest thousands of dollar like in a brick and mortar business.

All you have to invest initially is $150. Why $150 $? It would be $19 for the first monthly subscription, $49 for the second-month subscription and $49 for the third monthly subscription. Then you have to add for the two domain names you have to purchase which is about $15 each more or less. You do not pay this in one shot, though. It is monthly and the first month is a discounted $19.

Let me explain,

A free starter membership is offered, though I don’t recommend going for the free account and try to achieve the same results as the ones who succeeded in affiliate marketing.

A free starter member will give you two free websites and level one training. For a free membership, you will never get the same offer anywhere like Wealthy Affiliate. It is one of a kind.You will learn a lot being a free member and actually can start to be an affiliate with that training alone.

It will be harder to achieve success though so I don’t recommend it. For me,  a free starter account is for those who want to try it first before they go into the real affiliate marketing.

Let’s go back to the $150.

You have to buy your domains. Remember a domain is like a real estate on the internet. It is yours, and nobody can take it away from you. There is a huge disparity between using a shared domain and your own domain.  As you have already noticed, no company is running on a shared domain.

Why two domains? One for your niche and one for promoting Wealthy Affiliate. in this way, you will harness the potential of your membership.

I mentioned three months subscription. It is actually after three months that you will start to feel the results of your hard work, but this will vary depending on how much work you did on your website. By this time

• You are done with the training
• Your two websites are running
• Your two websites are ranking in Google, Yahoo and Bing search engines
• You are getting some traffic
• Some commissions start coming in depending on the amount of time you spend on your website.

So the thing is, are you willing to invest $150 and some of your time to have a real affiliate marketing business?  If it is a  yes, then you are ready to join a community of online entrepreneurs willing to help each other. Join Wealthy Affiliate, and you will never regret it. It could change your life.

Now, this is what you will have in exchange for your small investment.
