I Bit the Bullet and Signed Up For Wealthy Affiliate University

My head almost exploded and I almost strangled my cat after sifting through the google scam infested waters that is internet affiliate marketing. I feel like I just made it through The Used Auto Mall of America unscathed by grease-ball sale vultures trying to swoop on my credit card. I must give it to some of these guys though, they made every e-book sound like a goose farting out golden eggs. After endless hours of research and five recurring nightmares of Ewen Chia's face appearing while I slept, I ponied up the $29 bucks and am going to "school" at Wealthy Affiliate University!




Wow, the name really sounds lame but I'm giving it a go because it was the one place that looked like it had real info to offer. The owners of the Wealthy Affiliate University are marketers and have a brand to sell and there is a ton of stuff around the net advertising the site that rubbed me the wrong way and came across too "salesy", but I also found info that convinced me that there might be some substance to this place. I hope you stick around and follow my experience with Wealthy Affiliate University (if it sucks I'll cancel my membership; if not, I'll write about my experience and tell you the good and the bad so you can figure out if Wealthy Affiliate University is right for you.

Getting First Hand Advice From The Top - Carson


It's my first week at Wealthy Affiliate University and reading through the endless amount of info on the site has already got me scheming on starting my money making program. My mind is racing with ideas as I feel like I got some Tom Edison discovering the light bulb mojo going on right now. As I am new, I needed some extra guidance from a person who has been successful in this industry. Naturally, I went straight to the top and private messaged Carson (the guy on the left of the pic/co-founder of Wealthy Affiliate University) with some questions regarding how to get the ball rolling. (The other co-founder is Kyle; so it's Kyle and Carson ,but they are known around the forums as Kyle and Cartman.






I'm not gonna lie, my private message was not just for advice. I've been looking at these guys' pic atop my WA home page and reading about all their promises for success and such, so I wanted to see if they were actually around or swimming with dolphins and hookers in Maui. From what I've read about Carson, I understand that he operates a ton of products/websites on the internet including Wealthy Affiliate. He is 27 years old and reaping in some filthy cash and definitely has me envious, so I felt pretty silly sending him a private message regarding my newbie marketing questions, but this was also about detective work.

I was stunned when i saw a private message with a thorough response to my inquiries from Carson a day and a half later in my WA mailbox. I thought it was sweet that this guy, with so much stuff going on with his businesses and site operations and dealing with the 12,000+ just on Wealthy Affiliate, took the time to answer a newblar question from a nobody like me. Maybe he had just flown in from Maui and was in a good mood. I'm not sure and will never know, but both he and Kyle have been around since I have joined and have been helping out a bunch of members so I give props where props are due.

His advice to my questions regarding my first campaign were not what I wanted to hear. He showed me some tough love when he pointed out various flaws in my plan that would result in a shaky campaign and pointed me in a different direction. I guess he saved me a lot of time and heart ache so I'm thankful for that, but I wish my Campaign was flawless!! It is definitely pretty cool having a successful marketing giant only a private message away.
