Information overload. Holy crap! Ok, Initial thoughts on my first look into Wealthy Affiliate University.
1. Yes! I didn't get scammed! I can tell a LOT of work went into the development of this site. There is a ton of information to ingest! And by a ton I mean this much.
Learning resources, video tutorials, step by step instructions, an 8 week action plan to structure your first campaign, a huge forum with 130,000 + posts and 12,200 + members, and a bunch of crazy tools that help with marketing campaigns are some of the amenities I have with my membership. The tools include clickbank research tools, various keyword tools, a competition spy tool, and a "user-friendly" website builder called Site Rubix that supposedly allows morons like myself, who have no knowledge of html, build a professional looking website.
I finally feel like I know what Internet Marketing entails and unfortunately it is not going to be a quick money fix, but rather a skill to hone that may lead to some future cheese in my pocket. Coming into this experience, I felt like the day I would make money off the internet would be the day pigs fly or elephants play basketball, but everything seems much more attainable right now.
Below is a video tour of the website. The guy taking you on this tour sounds like a robot but it does show you a little about what to expect. In the video, he says that you do not need "any technical skills whatsoever at Wealthy Affiliate University". That is not completely true. You don't need any "out of this world" techy skills but having them would help. A person like me (no tech skills) will have to learn stuff on the fly and it can be time consuming/frustrating. I'm in the process of this right now, but as I'm learning, I'm starting to feel like I'm developing skills that will stay with me for life. At the same time, my cat's cause of death due to strangulation has risen slightly.
There is also this feature called Wealthy Affiliate spaces. It's like myspace but for Wealthy Affiliate members. I'm pretty awful with social networking sites but those that like places like facebook and myspace would probably enjoy this feature. I put a pic up and have gotten some WA friends. I'm going to be a social marketing demon!
2. No! This isn't going to be easy and my dreams of a Ewen Chia Newbie Cash Machine are not going to come true. Honestly, I have never tried Ewen Chia's products and only joke because his face is everywhere around the internet and he just looks so funny. If you try out his product or have tried it before send me a comment and tell me what you think.
One note: I've been cruising the forums trying to read up on as many topics of Internet Marketing as I can, as I am a complete noob, and have been starting to develop a little feel for the community as a whole. I would say that 3 out of 4 people are very helpful and love to assist those around them and look out for new guys like myself. The other 25% are a mix of people that either a) do anything for a sale (i.e use their affiliate links in forum posts or in their sigs to try and lead Wealthy Affiliate newbies to products they are promoting b) read up on the info and keep to themselves/don't contribute. Right now, I'm ready to work and so far Wealthy Affiliate is giving me some solid insight on what needs to be done.
