Hi Kathy, thanks for your comment. Indeed, the costs are high, I agree. With Wealthy Affiliate, there is a chance to “quit” anytime (although it is not advisable, but everyone can do it). With Affiliate Lab, it is also possible, only the $1000 will be not returned. (Not only) That’s why it is more convenient, especially for beginners, to pay $49/month and to have an option to stop anytime one decides.

Thanks for stopping by and your comment. Indeed, Matt Diggity is real deal in affiliate marketing. On the other hand, I know that not everyone has $1000 to spend at once. So, therefore, I think that this alternative (premium for $49/month) is more suited. Especially for people just starting out.

Hey Matt. Thanks for stopping by and leaving your comment. Also with sharing your review with our readers, knowing your work, I am sure they will leverage from it. Indeed, free trial would be awesome.

Hi David. Thanks for sharing your opinion and your experience about Authority Hacker. Indeed $2.4k is not what everyone can afford to spend on an affiliate course. Even though, the guys behind it are very qualified. It is great to hear that they also as Matt Diggity have their YouTube channel where they provide valuable information. I agree with you that the core training at Wealthy Affiliate is more general (they even created it with beginners in mind), but on the other hand there are weekly live classes available for premium members, and those are suited for those who search for expert classes. they do dive into the detail a lot.

Thank you for stopping by and sharing your experience Jean. Knowing that Matt Diggity provides value on his YouTube channel and to people who aren’t members of his program, is great news. It shows that he really cares about people. Let’s hope more and more program owners like him are out there. Cheers

Thanks a lot for showing us what Affiliate Lab looks like from the inside. I am sure people interested in this training will get everything they want by reading it to the end. I am interested in backlinks since Matt mentioned that it’s quicker to rank on the #1 position of Google if we can get 35k backlinks, which is a whole new world to me. It’s pitiful that Matt doesn’t provide a free trial so that I can leverage it to know more.

Cheers,
Matt

Speaking of which, I did notice you mentioned the Authority Hacker guys as an alternative. That’s a course that I want to take someday, but like you, I am currently an Affiliate Marketer and I also have the same opinion that $2400 something dollars is a bit too much for a course. I am willing to bet that it’s worth it, however. I listen to their podcast episodes and YouTube videos often and they are very informative. I do believe the Authority Hacker folks are very intelligent and I am willing to bet their course would give me an entire library of new ideas and ways to get traffic.

I do pay for and use Wealthy Affiliate and I love the platform. My personal opinion is that the training is okay. It does its job but I wish that the core training went more in-depth with more expert levels of training. It puts the pillars down to hold up the house, but it doesn’t exactly go into detail with building the roof, know what I mean? I feel that they excel in their WordPress hosting and Keyword Research software, however.

Technically I can’t complain too much about the training because even if Wealthy Affiliate was sold as a website builder and keyword research software alone, that’s enough to get me to buy. I have hosted websites with Site ground before and..terrible experience, couldn’t even access my blog half the time because they would shut my site down to maintenance. Never have problems whatsoever with WA’s hosting.

I am a massive fan of Matt Diggity, am on his email list, and watch lots of his YouTube videos. He is the real deal. I love that the splits tests everything and is so generous in sharing what he knows, even to people who are not part of his course.

If I wasn’t a W.A. member I may well have signed up for his course (or The Authority System by the Authority Hacker guys).

Best,

Jean
