If you’ve read many of the post on this site, you’ll see that anything I recommend, I do so from experience. I actually use the product or service, that includes actually spending my money.

For affiliate marketing training, I recommended Affiliate Classroom here before. I’m not saying now that I don’t think that AC does have a lot to offer, but I have found something much, much better. However, if you’re a complete beginner, or still fairly new and unexperienced, I’m sure Affiliate Classroom can offer you very much in your affiliate learning. I just know that the Wealthy Affiliate site would be a site that you’d want to stay with as long as you’re an affiliate.

After a couple of months or so with Affiliate Classroom, I personally thought maybe my time and money could be better spent elsewhere. Although I’ve not fell for a lot of the scams, I have spent quite a bit I wish I hadn’t. Affiliate Classroom wasn’t a big regret.

The owner of AC has a couple of other sites, AffSphere.com and PPCclassroom.com, that I’m still a member of. AffSphere.com is an article directory and it’s totally free. It’s a very good site also. PPCclassroom.com is a paid site for PPC training, obviously. I’ve learned a massive amount at PPCclassroom.com, and I’m sure I haven’t touched the surface yet. There’s also a very good user forum.

After becoming a paid member at WealthyAffiliate.com a few short hours ago, and having a look around the site, including the forum, and reading the huge amount of testimonials, I think I can honestly say that WA will be my only paid training/support/mentoring type membership from here on out. That includes PPC (Pay Per Click training and support.

Does that mean that I’ll go to WA and keep a blind eye to everything else ? Of course not. My theory is still that there’s plenty of information available for free on the Internet to get started in Affiliate Marketing, BUT, if you want to cut down on the headaches and get to making money in the shortest time possible, go to where the most knowledge and experience is…in one place.

I’ve known of the Wealthy Affiliate site since probably shortly after they came online. I considered joining several times, but finally took the leap of faith today, and I’m already glad I did. I look at it this way; if you’re serious about making money online, you can get hundreds, if not thousands of dollars per month from WA in the form of training material, videos, tools, recommendations, mentoring, whatever you could possibly want or need. Their SIte Rubix Website building software alone is a huge value, especially if you know nothing about building a Website. Of course you don’t HAVE TO have a website to make money online, but any marketer worth their weight will tell you it’s just about necessary…at least it’s easier and opens up more possibilities.

Sorry for the long post, but I really feel good about WA. I guess I’m really excited because after nearly a year of marketing online, I’ve finally started making some steady money. I’m currently laid off from my regular ‘day job’, and my goal is to not have to go back when I’m called…usually around the first of April. I think with the resources available at the Wealthy Affiliate site I can push forward enough to start making a full-time living from the Internet.

If you want to give WA a try, you can sign up for a month, grap anything and everything you can in the form of information and software tools, and then cancel…no questions asked. I doubt you will though, from all the testimonials, even those from people making hundreds of dollars a day, talk about staying on to be Wealthy Affiliate members for life.

I think that’s the ultimate recommendation.
