How to Join Wealthy Affiliate & Start Making Money Online Today.
The Wealthy Affiliate Free Starter Membership:
Wealthy Affiliate is a service that provides world class online business training for hungry internet entrepreneurs, bloggers, and current business owners. There is no experience necessary because all of the training is provided through their classrooms, video lessons, tutorials, and forums.
|Join 190,000+ Members Who Are Turning Their Ideas & Passions Into Profits|
There are Only 2 Membership Levels Offered at Wealthy Affiliate: Starter (Free) & Premium ($49/mth or $359/yr).
The WA Starter Membership is 100% free to join and only requires 5 basic pieces of information:
1) First Name, 2) Last Name, 3) Email, 4) Username, and 5) Password
It’s as simple as that – no credit card necessary.
Just a couple of years ago, I had no experience in online business until I found WA’s Free Starter Membership, and tens of thousands of dollars in income later, I only wish I had started earlier.
Adding a Personal Profile Image & Description:
Once you’ve completed the initial step outlined above, it is important that you add a Personal Profile “About Me” Description, as well as a Profile Image. This adds some personality to your profile and allows for easier networking. Your fellow WA members will be more likely to assist you, provide feedback, and answer your questions if they know a little bit about you and can “put a face to the name”.
After you’ve completed this step, Get Started! Within seconds you can begin training courses and start building your websites. It’s possible you may even “earn as you learn” through your affiliate links.
The Wealthy Affiliate Premium Membership:
I always recommend the Starter Membership first because you have absolutely nothing to lose. There is no time limit on how long you can be a Starter Member, so simply go at your own pace while deciding if this service can help you achieve your online business goals.
Starter (Free) vs. Premium ($359/yr)
Monthly or Yearly?
When you decide you want to take the next step and get serious about your training, you will have the option between a monthly or a yearly subscription. Yearly members are historically the most successful as their year-long commitment proves their dedication to the process of building an authoritative, income-generating online business:
Monthly: $49/month
Yearly: $359/year (Equivalent to about $30/month – a 39% discount)
To activate your Premium Membership, you simply choose your preferred duration (Monthly or Yearly) and then add a credit card. There’s absolutely no pressure through – Free Starter Members can keep their membership as long as they want.

Thank you WA members and truly inspired. Have ready all your comment and it is positive. Would love to join am in Kenya
I love your review about Wealthy Affiliate because it makes me feel that this is a legitimate opportunity for me to earn some money online. As I had gone through your post, I saw a link towards your success story and that’s what made me think about starting an online business for my self. Thank you for this wonderfully made blog. I know more people will be inspired to start their online business and I’m one of them. Will be going back to your website and leave a comment about how your blog inspired me to achieve success as well.
Would like to join the program and am in Kenya, very interest in online business
Needed to read this before I joined but better late then never. It’s great to see how everybody started and now promoting that same company that helped them with their first steps. Love the program still work in progress for me. Went premium a month ago and still working on my first website. Hoping to start making money soon!
I took your advice and signed up for the starter membership. It really is as easy as you describe. This platform is great! I learned so much about affiliate marketing inside Wealthy Affiliate.
I came back to your post because I wanted to ask you what do you think about going to premium. I know that it can offer so much more and I plan to go for it but I am currently in dilema regarding monthly vs. yearly membership. I know that yearly has some serious discount but right now I have a passion of a starter and I fear it will go away in a few months. I tend to leave things that I lost interest in and I don’t want to be stuck with a yearly membership. As a premium member, what is your honest opinion?
Hi Jacob – that’s a great question. Ultimately, it’s up to you. But here’s how I look at it. Going for the yearly subscription is certainly cheaper in the long-run and also provides you with a good amount of time to see results. For me personally, it took 6 months to make my first substantial sale online. If I would’ve given up after month 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5, I would’ve left Wealthy Affiliate with virtually $0 in profits thinking it was all a sham.
But since I stuck with it long enough and stayed committed to the process, I now have tens of thousands of dollars in profits to show for it. The point I’m making here is that yearly membership almost forces you to stay committed for a long period of time, and it’s a statistical fact that WA yearly members experience more success than all others. All that being said, there’s nothing wrong with sticking with the monthly membership for one or two months at first if you’re not sure about it all. You certainly don’t want to pay for a yearly membership that you only end up using for a couple months. The few extra dollars you spend per month will be worth it until you make a firm decision.
In the end, it’s kind of funny to think back on it because back when I first started I thought $49/mth or $359/yr was expensive, but after experiencing all that WA has to offer (and all of the features they keep adding at no additional cost), it’s nothing short of a steal. They could easily charge double the price (at least) for the platform, training, tools, and everything else they provide. When you think about it, it’s only costing you $1 per day to run an online business centered around your greatest passions and interests. You can’t beat it.
Very informative and to the point. You very rightly say that the starter membership should be the way to go as there is no risk associated with it. Anyone should first try and if they find it useful which I am sure they will, only then should they upgrade. That is one feature that makes Wealthy Affiliate so genuine.
Great article. Concise and informative. Very nice to read an article that gets right to the point.
WA is a great opportunity for anyone looking to build an online business, and your post does a great job at conveying just that!
WA makes it very easy to get started, and best of all, for Free! You really have nothing to lose.
Thanks for sharing this amazing post on WA. It’s a great site and I use myself. You learn so much through their helpful and knowledgeable videos. I definitely recommend WA to anyone has tremendous experience or just beginner. It’s a great community with great people.
Thank you for sharing this amazing post about WA. I’m definitely going to recommend this to my friends,
I have difficulty in signing up. They keep on saying they already have my account but I can’t log in. I’m interested but I just can’t sign up for Free Starter Membership. From Philippines.
Hello. I just looked into this for you, and this is news to me as well, but there are a handful of countries where the free membership option is not available: Bangladesh, Egypt, India, Kenya, Nigeria, Pakistan, Vietnam, Philippines, etc. Apparently, there are a lot of fraudulent accounts that originate from these countries, which is too much to manage – so only paid membership options are available. I apologize for the inconvenience.
In any case, I’d recommend giving their Contact Page a try and explaining your specific situation to Kyle & Carson (WA founders) directly. They’ll provide you with your best possible options and get back to you quickly. Take care!
Great description for the WA sign up process. The free Wealthy Affiliate starter membership is truly a risk free membership. It important for people to understand that no credit card or any other payment method is required to get a sneak peak inside Wealthy Affiliate. What other program does that. I’ve been with WA for over 3 years and highly recommend it.
Awesome work Matthew, this is an excellent breakdown of WA for new people – I have only been involved for a short while since around September 2016, but already i have learnt a lot of information that has been invaluable for me in building my brand online.
The community is really helpful, and for the minimal monthly payment, your getting access to a huge amount of training materials and tools. It is a must for anyone new to online marketing so thanks for making that clear in this post!
Hey Matthew,
Nice job on the site. I’ve taken the plunge and joined WA. I’m still pretty new so I haven’t made any money yet but I can say that the training is ultra basic. The creators are genuine and give truly step by step guidance. I know business and I know computers but I don’t know marketing or online marketing. And they still walked me through it. How long have you found success with this and how long did it take you to start making money?
Hi Trent – great questions. I’ve been at it for a little over two and a half years now. I didn’t know anything about online business, or more specifically – affiliate marketing, before that. I made a few small sales within my first six months, but it wasn’t until after that where I found consistent success. My affiliate marketing income more than doubled from 2015 to 2016 and I expect a similar trend to continue as time goes on. Cheers!
Greetings Mathew,
Being a Wealthy Affiliate member, I can confirm your statements. It’s incredible! I came into this platform without any knowledge of affiliate marketing, I never even heard of the concept! They really do give step-by-step training, and if there’s something that’s not sinking in, I can ask for help within the community.
I pretty much jumped right in, once I was exposed to Wealthy Affiliate, but your site really does give a thorough review of what someone can expect.
All the best moving forward Mathew!
Thank you, Veronica! Just like you, I started at Wealthy Affiliate without any online business experience. I didn’t even know what affiliate marketing was until researching the platform right before joining. Now I have WA to thanks for thousands of dollars in online revenue. It’s a great feeling to be able to pursue topics I’m passionate about and make money doing it. Overall, that’s what Wealthy Affiliate is all about – lifestyle flexibility and financial freedom. Cheers!
Hi Matt,
It really looks like a legitimate program. But I have some problems because I do not know anything about online marketing. Is this program suitable for me? I also do not know much about computing, I just know how to use the computer in the eyes of the average user. Is this enough to be able to sign up for this program and succeed?
Thank you so much,
Alex
Hi Alex – there’s no internet marketing or technical coding experience necessary. I personally didn’t have any experience in either area before starting my online business. Basic computer skills will certainly help, but as far as coding goes, that won’t be necessary in order to build your WordPress website through the Wealthy Affiliate platform.
Every critical task that might need be done for your site will be covered in a step-by-step video tutorial or training module of some form. That’s what makes the service so great – it doesn’t take an experienced internet marketer or computer genius in order to achieve success, anybody can do it with a little hard work and dedication.
Hello Matthew,
Thanks so much for sharing Wealthy Affiliate and explaining what it can do. As a member now, I feel there is no program out there that compares. Before finding Wealthy Affiliate online, I kept losing money to scammers who could not even explain simple steps to building a website.
With Wealthy Affiliate, I`m able to build a money making website and can now smell scams from miles. Did I mention the upgrade membership price is a steal? with all the tools available at WA, the training and support from successful members, this program in my opinion, is worth much more.
Thanks for sharing.
Hello there,
Great post about Wealthy Affiliate, I really love this platform & it’s support, training lessons Etc.. Just have a question: I a member since 1 year & half, is it possible that I can postpone my renewal to Nov to catch the black Friday discount? If yes what will happen to my hosting website in this period? hope to hear from you & wish you all the best with your online business.
Cheers,
Ehab
Hi Ehab – great question. You can certainly postpone your renewal to November for the annual Black Friday discount, however, that would probably involve losing hosting services from Wealthy Affiliate during that time – probably not worth the hassle of finding a new hosting provider during that short timeframe.
What I actually did this past year was purchase an additional year of membership on Black Friday, which added a full year of service on top of my existing membership. In other words, my normal renewal period is in May, so I paid the standard annual subscription cost of $359 in May 2016. Then I also took advantage of the Black Friday deal of $299/yr in November 2016 – essentially paying for 2 years of membership in 2016. So in the end, I won’t have another subscription payment due until May 2018. And on top of that, I’ll recur at the discounted price for life.
I’d suggest the route I took, but it couldn’t hurt to reach out to Wealthy Affiliate’s support team or Kyle directly if you wanted to try another method. They’ll definitely help you clearly understand your options and make the best possible decision for your particular situation. Take care!
Thanks for the info about wealthy affiliate. earning an income online has always been something i wanted to accomplish. Im tired of working for others and making them rich.
Do you think someone who has a full time job would be able to find the time to be successful on wealthy affiliate?
Hi Derek. It’s certainly possible for someone with a full-time job to achieve success with Wealthy Affiliate. In fact, all of my online business success has been achieved while working full time. I started just over a couple years ago and was able to double my affiliate earnings in 2016 from 2015 (even with a month and a half still left to go in the year). The profit-potential is simply extraordinary and I’d recommend it to anyone. I find time to work on my websites on nights and weekends. Take care!
Matt,
I’m already a premium member at Wealthy Affiliate, but your post made me want to sign-up all over again!
Nice work!
Eddie

I appreciate the feedback, Neil. Great to hear you’ve had success with Wealthy Affiliate and know how important a supportive community is when it comes to reaching your goals.
