If you are reading this, then I am going to assume that you already know what Wealthy Affiliate is. If you don’t, then the crash course explanation would be “the best resource online for teaching you how to make money on the web”. OK, now that we’ve got that out of the way, let’s move on.
You’re probably not familiar with the concept of “advancing returns”. Well, in order to discuss that, let’s talk about something you most likely are familiar with. That would be the principle of “diminishing returns”. Diminishing returns refers to a scenario where you are consistently investing resources into something that causes it to get better. Continuing to invest in it causes it to continually get better, but the rate of improvement starts to slow down and eventually becomes slow enough to where further investment of resources is no longer worthwhile. We’ve all worked with a situation like that and understand it. You eventually get to a point where whatever project you are working on is as reasonably good as it is going to get and you realize that it is time to stop working on it and call it done.
OK, now let’s contrast that with the principle of advancing returns. The principle of advancing returns is much more exciting because what it refers to is a project where the more time and resources you invest in it, it continually becomes exponentially more effective and improved.
So how does this relate to Wealthy Affiliate? There are a couple of ways that the principle of advancing returns applies to Wealthy Affiliate. The first, and my most favorite, is the affiliate program offered to the members of Wealthy Affiliate. I like the program because it generates residual income. I’ve elaborated on that aspect quite a bit in other posts so I won’t belabor the topic here. The Wealthy Affiliate affiliate program is cool because the longer you work it and the longer you promote it, the greater your income becomes. I also like it because it is one of the easiest things to get started promoting after you join. You can get started right away doing promotions with free marketing methods that you learn at Wealthy Affiliate.
The second way that the principle of advancing returns relates to Wealthy Affiliate is the way that WA equips you to make money online through affiliate marketing in general. Affiliate marketing is a business that, done right, will provide you with advancing returns. That means that the longer you work your affiliate marketing business, the more money you will make. No matter what level you achieve in affiliate marketing, there is always a next level to move on to. And, at Wealthy Affiliate, there is always someone there to help you get to that next level.
It is exciting to realize that the internet offers us this opportunity to make ever increasing amounts of money. With affiliate marketing, it is possible to earn the same amount you are making from your current “day job” and beyond! That my friend illustrates the principle of advancing returns.
Now that brings me to another point. When people begin to consider the Wealthy Affiliate educational opportunity, despite the fact that it is a very affordable $29 a month, people hesitate. Often the hesitation lasts long enough to where they never join! Sometimes they will join with the idea of remaining a member only for one month. That way they can get in, glean all of the material they need, and then cut loose. And all this is because they are somehow squeamish of paying for the membership.
To address this issue, it is important for me to bring up one very important point. In order to succeed in affiliate marketing, you have to make a quality choice to succeed! What does that mean? It means you have to decide to make it work! You have to decide to do whatever work is necessary to make it happen. If you do this, it will pay off in spades. OK, so what does this have to do with being squeamish about the membership fee? Well, it’s this. Particularly for people who won’t join because of the membership fee or for people who want to join just for one month; to have that attitude basically means that person is planning to fail. What? No! That can’t be! Why would anyone plan to fail? Well, no one consciously does, but if you are squeamish about paying for an affiliate marketing education, then it means that you plan to fail.
Let me explain further. If you invest yourself in doing the learning and applying yourself to your internet marketing business, then the principle of advancing returns will kick in for you and you will begin to make money. The longer you work your business the amount of money you make each month will continue to increase. Now, you may not be able to move to Beverly Hills next month, but I’m sure you can agree that consistent growth is a good thing. When the principle of advancing returns starts working for you, the small monthly investment you are making in your affiliate marketing education at Wealthy Affiliate becomes nothing! As a matter of fact, the more you work your business, your educational costs at Wealthy Affiliate become completely irrelevant. You will be making much more money a month than you are spending to be a member at Wealthy Affiliate, that it will be more than worth it.
Do you think I’m kidding? There is a Wealthy Affiliate member who is making $3,000 to $5,000 extra income a month through her affiliate marketing business utilizing only FREE methods of marketing! That’s right! She hasn’t quit her day job because she enjoys it. But could YOU use an extra $3,000 to $5,000 a month? If you had that income coming in would it provide you with the option of quitting your day job? If so, without the distraction of a full time job, you will be able to focus on your affiliate marketing business even more and then, you guessed it, the principle of advancing returns will kick in even more!
I am a member of Wealthy Affiliate, and I am so glad I joined. Like I said in another post, I am a member of Wealthy Affiliate for one reason. Quite simply, it works for me. It is teaching me how to make money online and I am beginning to see returns! The traffic at my websites continues to grow (there’s that principle of advancing returns again) and along with additional traffic comes additional income. I am truly excited about the possibility of one day being able to step out of my day job! If you too have this dream, then I encourage you to give Wealthy Affiliate a look. You will not regret it. Don’t sweat the cost because it’s really not that much money. Eliminate four fast food visits a month, and you’ve got it covered. Heck, after you start learning and earning, the money you will be making will cover it anyway. I covered my membership fee after marketing for only two weeks!
I know that someone in your position has to wonder if this works or not. Is it all just a pipe dream? Is it all just pie in the sky? Is it just someone trying to sell me a line because they want my money? I understand all of those hesitations. The cool thing though is that in the General Success forum at Wealthy Affiliate we have people posting reports of their first sale! It is like a light bulb going off for them!
I remember when I earned my first Wealthy Affiliate referral. I totally freaked out! Then I earned a second and then a third. I thought 10 would be nearly impossible. Now, just a month and a half later, I’ve made 38 sales! And it’s steadily increasing!
Like I said, if you have dreams of making money online or would like to one day step out of your day job, I encourage you to give Wealthy Affiliate a look. It costs less than your cell phone!
