Good luck.

Really appreciate what you do!

Best wishes,

You’re welcome! No there are no refunds. But you can cancel at any time. You can try it for a month and cancel at any time if you don’t like it. If you do like it then you can switch over to the yearly payment program to save some money if you want. But if the refund policy is an issue, I totally understand. If you have more administrative questions, just use the faq link above and contact WA directly and they can answer more of that stuff.

At the end of the day, I know you’ve been burned by other companies but don’t let that experience make you assume that everyone is out to get you. Otherwise you go into situations with a jaded eye and looking for problems. Because you’re in that mindset you WILL find these issues which in most circumstances would be considered minor in the grand scheme of things. But because you’re already looking to pounce, it’s magnified to mythical proportions. So this is just something to keep in mind as you look into various opportunities on the web.

I hope this makes sense.

Thanks for the reply!

I was on the point of joining up via your link until I’ve read the T & C’s and see that there is no course for a refund once you’ve paid– I appreciate an annual subscription is quite a bit cheaper but the monthly subscriptions are on a rolling basis unless I cancel through some Checkout process if I pay by VISA? What does that mean?

I was hoping to look at it for a month first and then see where we go from there…

If you prefer to use my website email address you have instead of uploading this on your Blog, feel free to email me Eddy; when I read the T & C’s alarm bells started to ring after nearly being caught out before and after having to get refunds from two other USA based Internet related companies for badly failing to deliver what they promised in their blurb on their sites & blog, and in one of those cases it was bordering on fraud.

Best wishes and Thanks again,

Clive

You’re quite welcome! Glad you found the review to be so useful and honest. That was the goal. lol
I can totally relate to your feelings about the pushy, greasy cars sales man approach that some affiliate marketers take and teach.

Just keep in mind what I said in the review above. “Do you!” Just because a technique may suggest doing something you don’t feel comfortable with, doesn’t mean you need to follow exactly how the other guy is doing it. I learn a lot from various resources and what I always try to do is adapt the things I learn so they fit my style and personality. There is no rule that says you need to be sleazy to be a great affiliate marketer.

Take my review above as an example. Instead of writing the fake reviews that so many affiliate marketers use to promote companies,I took a real approach at the risk of losing sales. Why? Because I don’t like when people sell me pipe dreams! So why should I do it to others? I know this industry is hard and that’s why I try my best to scare the bejesus out of people in my review so it weeds out the folks that aren’t meant for it. To my surprise being honest has actually proven to attract more people to this particular company and industry. Maybe folks are Sado-masochist. lol But I bet it has more to due with the fact that people have a better idea of what to expect and can appreciate that I didn’t make this all sound so sweet like so many of the other reviews and sites they may have read before this one.

So in this situation I took the technique of “writing reviews” mixed with some SEO and my true honesty and it’s lead to a lot of folks wanting to give WA a shot even though I’ve made very clear this is going to be hard. So I’m a perfect example of applying techniques that can be misused but using them for good. Here’s a good analogy that sums this all up. Fertilizer can be used as a bomb by a nut bag to blew up a building. But in the hand of farmers it can be used to grow crops that feed millions. I liken myself to the farmer using this stuff for the good of people. You can too! Hope this makes sense and answers your question.

And by the way, WA doesn’t teach you to be sleazy. They teach you sound internet marketing principles not gimmicks.

I wanted to say a HUGE ‘Thanks!’ for the detailed, down to earth & real honest coverage of the pros & cons of Wealthy Affiliate University both in the content of your main article, and with the Blog responses. I found the Video links really helpful too!

I started running a brand-new website as from mid November 09 which I have put hours & hours of unpaid work into, a real labour of love, and there have been several sales in the UK already which is really pleasing; however I do know I need more info on SEO and Article Writing for my own site which I see that WAU supplies judging by your earlier reply to a poster on 25th Oct 09.

Whilst searching for additional work to do from home in conjunction with my own site I’ve nearly been stung by scams; Google searches have avoided them so far, but I like the look of what I’ve seen so far here very much, and I will seriously think about what to do over the coming next few days.

What has really been a ‘No No’ in the past when I’ve seen stuff on Affiliate Marketing is because I’m British and a bit more ‘reserved’, when I read some of the techniques which some Affiliate websites use, it really ‘turns me off” as being way OTT; is there a way discussed somewhere in the WAU topics, no matter how further down the line it is covered, that can be an alternative to the guy with a six pack with a bikini-clad sexy model draped over a Lamborghini, palm trees swaying in the background style site?? (Not that there’s anything wrong with the bikini clad model!! lol! Unfortunately I don’t have a 6 pack either!) But seriously, it is something I’ve wondered about, as honesty is very important to me and I wouldnt want to get involved with anything that is misrepresenting the truth, which is why I admire & respect the ring of honesty in this Blog…

It also gets me annoyed to have Internet Directories constantly bombarding me sometimes 2 or 3 times a day with spam emails on Affiliates-as an example-: (Clive, Discover the Affiliate Millionaire now!) and other related emails-again I wouldn’t like to do that to other people if I dont like it myself; are there other options taught by WAU which are ‘less invasive’ but nevertheless effective?

Thanks again for all the mega hard work & honest detail you have put into this site, and hope to hear from you whenever you get a rare spare minute!

Best Regards to you, your wife & your little girl,

Clive

Hey Bonnie!
You’re welcome. I’m sure the pages I listed will help you.
In any event, I won’t argue about the age. Being older than dirt is hard to argue against. lol
Take care.

OOPS…Long day and wrong key!!! LOL Just was gonna tell you, thanks for getting back to me so quickly…wow…I’ll be alright I think…NOT SO SURE but I think. Thank you for the referral sites and now that things have slowed down for me at work and I can finally destress I am seriously going to look at the websites you put on your reply to me, but not only mine but to the others also.
One more thing…you are a “spring chicken” compared to this “OLD mother hen”…LOL (remember I’m older than dirt!).
Take care and thanks, I am gonna read some serious stuff now.

Either way good luck on your endeavors.

Thanks for referring your friend to my site and I’m happy she found the information useful.

1. I don’t remember exactly when I saw good results. I just remember the first day I earned a few cents referring someone to get paid to read email program. I was super excited and it confirmed to me that I could really make money with this industry. Then after that I just went on a mission to improve my results and find other programs to promote. I guess for most people they want to know when I was able to do this full time and that was in the last 2-3 years. If I lived outside of NY and moves some place where the cost of living was cheaper, I could have probably been doing this full time 5 years ago. At the end of the day what you considered good results and what I considered good results are subjective. Like I said I got excited seeing a few cents. Most of you would laugh at that. I didn’t and we all know where that ended up. lol

2. At least now you know I’m not bs’ing that this stuff takes work and commitment. Your friend confirmed it for you. It took me nearly 10 years to achieve this level of success. But it was because I was a dumb ass and never really invested in learning in this stuff completely until the last 3 years which incidentally when I was finally able to make the jump of firing the man. If I would have invested in myself from the early 90’s when I started this, I would be a billionaire right now. But better late than never I say. lol

Judging by your line of questioning you’re viewing this sort of like a job. And if you read my review above completely you already know that’s a no no and this probably isn’t the opportunity for you. Some people pick this up very fast and others are like me and it takes them years. It really all depends on the individual, their dedication, mindset, work ethic and how they apply what they’re being taught. There isn’t a cookie cutter answer for when you’ll see success with this. I know folks want that from me, but you ain’t going to get it because I really don’t know. I don’t like pulling stuff out of thin air just to give folks a false sense of security or time frame. If you want to make a certain amount of money with this business, then it’s just a matter of working at it until you do. If you’re concerned with time frames for given amount of hours and effort, then a job is a better bet.

Building a business takes as long as it going to take. Like I said if it were easy everyone would be bosses instead of employees. So just keep this in mind. If you’re just looking for some extra money on the side, you may want to consider a job instead:

or possibly trying something like amazon’s mturk program:

Because it may take a very long while before you see $500 – $1000 doing affiliate marketing or it make take a few short weeks. I just can’t say because I can’t predict what you’ll do with the training. Hope that makes sense.
