Thanks for stopping by and leaving your comment, Matt! Indeed, $1000 is just too much to pay for an online course. There is no guarantee the owner will not close his business once he will receive your money. Also. because of the fact, that there is really too little info about him. But this program is much cheaper (only $49 a month) and delivers much beyond what is expected from an online training platform. Live 24/7 community, step-by-step training, and great support are just a few of the reasons anyone searching for a program that will help to create an online income. Cheers

Hey Lisa, thanks a lot for your comment. I am happy you are back on track with Affiliate Marketing-;) Indeed, there are some temptations to go for the short way along the way. Either paid ads, purchasing of backlinks or paying for increasing of domain authority. I think that at some point this can be your challenge. When you have the budget and when you are sure that by doing this you will not hurt your rankings( going against Google guideline) it is not so bad to use those “booster” time-to-time. The issue is when you will rely completely on PAID TRAFFIC. Therefore programs like AMBSDR are not worth it. They promote this as only one way. This can be dangerous spiral. At any case, What is important tough, you should still understand how writing for SEO works. As this is ultimate way for sustainable online success.

Having been lightly singed by “high ticket” training before (not that the ones I purchased were bad, just that they were not necessarily suitable for the business that I was building). I find the entry price point to be an immediate red flag set to be expensive enough to make people comfortable that they are getting good “value”. When really, compared to many other ways of learning affiliate marketing – it is expensive. Like all high ticket items – they are trying to sell you a short cut for things you could learn yourself if you wanted to curate a selection of the right articles, tools etc – essentially the price is for cutting through the “noise” around the make money at home market.

I completely agree with you on affiliate marketing being a great model – that’s why I’m back to it as a side line to my full time job, now that I’ve paused working on a business consultancy. I’m glad I came across this review, because I’m just at the point where my new blog is starting to gain traction – but I have to keep powering through to get the free, organic traffic numbers up. This is the point in my journey where I’m most vulnerable to someone suggesting that I spend some money to accelerate the process – and I do love a good cheatsheet!

My biggest redflag though – is that the payback for signing someone up is the same as the cost of the program (excluding the VAT) – this just screams pyramid scheme to me….

Cheers, Lisa

Thank you for your comment guys. Wealthy Affiliate does offer live classes and also ambassador program. Ambassador program is more sort of intern reward program and there is not financial benefits from it. However, the live classes, community and value/price relation are unbeatable. Cheers

Hey there! Thanks a lot for sharing your experience. It is indeed, great that if Affiliate Marketing you can work with how many platforms you want. That makes the whole model more interesting. Wealthy Affiliate and Affiliate Lab are in my opinion, two best platforms for affiliate marketers.

Cheers,
