Welcome to Day 5! You made it!
Today I want to talk about the differences between the free and premium memberships at Wealthy Affiliate.
The starter membership at Wealthy Affiliate is completely free. There are no hidden fees or pressure to buy anything. There are no conditions at all with the free membership, plus there is no time limit to how long you can remain a free member.
As you know by now, the free membership includes 2 free websites. With these 2 free websites you have the ability to make money online with the training that the starter membership offers.
If a FREE membership is so great, why upgrade?
I agree, the free membership is pretty awesome. Which means the premium membership package is even more impressive.
Lets take a closer look at what a premium WA membership offers:
As a starter member you have access to level 1 of the Online Entrepreneur Certification Course. As a premium member you will gain access to levels 2-5. Level 1 covers the basics of establishing your website and how making money online works. Levels 2-5 elaborate on this training by teaching you how to get traffic to your website, and how to leverage social media to gain traffic and increase earnings.
It’s practical, easy to follow step-by-step instructions on how to build a online business with zero prior experience.
Classrooms
A starter member has access to 3 classrooms. As a premium member you will have access to all 13. If you are just starting out, you may not understand exactly what a WA classroom exactly is. Let me explain.
Each of the 13 classrooms have a specific lesson inside each one. So you choose the classroom you want to learn more about, and are able to engage in discussions inside each classroom pertaining to the lesson. This is great if you have a question about something specific. Just head into the classroom closest relating to your question and get the answer your looking for from other members.

Here is a list of the classroom topics:
Training
As a premium member you will have access to more training. Much more training. WA’s training is the best in the world!
Lots of the training is only accessible by premium members. This is going to be very high quality and relevant training. You actually get access to 5x more training as a premium member. There is so much that I have yet to see it all. Not to mention its still growing.

Live Webinar Training
Once a week there is a live webinar class. These classes are hosted by one of the experienced affiliate marketers in the WA community. As a premium member you have free access to these webinars. These classes are extremely informative and easy to follow.
I recently was bored on a Friday night and watched one of the live classes on:
How To Build a Niche Website: Live Case Study
Even though I am familiar with the concepts taught in that webinar, I still found it extremely interesting and enjoyed watching some of the newer members ask questions about what was being taught and getting answers live.
Another great feature about the Live Webinar Training is that you will have access to all the past classes. Thats years worth of video and training!
Keyword Research
As I have mentioned throughout this 5 Day Training Course, you have access to the WA keyword research tool. With this tool you can see how much traffic you can expect with specific keywords. You can also check the competition level for any keyword.
Most keyword tools cost $10-$50 monthly. As a premium member you have access to the WA keyword tool for free!
Website Hosting
Wealthy Affiliate will host all of your websites (if you want). They will keep your websites secure, and check for malware or any other security problems. Since all hosting is done right at WA, any problems are easily and quickly fixed quickly by contacting tech support or the owners.
Personal Support
Wealthy Affiliate understands that there are a lot of members new to internet marketing, thats why as a premium member you have unlimited access to other members to ask questions and get help to your answers. You will also have unlimited access to Live Chat.
Live Chat is a great way to get a quick answer to a question, or just to engage in conversation with the other members of the WA community.
The Cost of a Premium Membership
A premium membership costs $49 per month or if you decide to pay the yearly option it would be discounted to $359 per year ($29 per month)
The fact is $49 is not a lot of money when you consider the earning potential that $49 gets you. When I upgraded to the premium membership, I simply told myself I would skip getting takeout food a few times a month to cover the cost of my WA premium membership. Guess what? I don’t miss that takeout food I skipped one bit. But now I have a full time online business that earns me income everyday.
Wealthy Affiliate is education
I just want to say this. Affiliate marketing works. If you put the time into your business, you WILL succeed. Wealthy Affiliate offers the teaching and tools to absolutely help you achieve your goals with affiliate marketing.
Wealthy Affiliate VS College
Did you know the average US salary for college graduates is $46,000?
Now did you know that many internet marketers make over $60,000 per year, and some make well over $100,000 yearly. This isn’t an anomaly or a skewed statistic. Keep in mind, the harder you work on your websites, the more money you will make. Simple as that.
Would you agree it makes sense to spend $359 a year to make $100,000?
By investing in your internet marketing education now, you can learn the skills you need to be financially free forever.
First month discount
If you upgrade to a premium membership anytime within the first 7 days, your first month of premium will only be $19. Thats a pretty significant discount.
If you don’t upgrade in the first 7 days, you can absolutely continue with your free membership, and upgrade whenever you like.
Remember, success comes those who TAKE ACTION! Don’t just read about others success. Create your own.
