That is great Djallel , we can help you take your passion for carpentry and build a successful business online. It has been nice to connect within Wealthy Affiliate so far as well.
Keep us updated with your progress and if you need any help, you have a supportive community and one with a lot of expertise to lean on every step of the way!
Worst service I ever encountered in…
Worst service I ever encountered in years and for which I've spend money and time. Unexperts claiming they're experts, scarcity and ignorance at the highest level, minimum support and mostly just for the surface.
The worst guys to rely on for achieving success in what they pretend they offer.
The real support is just for spending for a subscription and inexistant for to help you.
The trainings are less then a kid using a tech gadget for the first time. You find real experts at no price on YouTube other then arogant kind of losing time guys and want you're money for no value, just nice words, all preplanned in order to make you belive you are in the right place in the online curve:False
The hosting is the lower ever possible out there for the price. For the same price of a month you can have a year with really the best host providers out there.
Stay away from this... don't know even how to called, biggest scam out there, and save money and time. Save six months and money I've lost within without achieving else then this real conclusion and do more without spending 90% of money you would spend with these guys.
The support for migrating my sites after I didn't subscribe longer is none. You get ignored.
I hope this is enough to have maked a real picture. All the reviews here are from the affiliates they won from your subscription plan you came across.
Stay away and hopefully when other people who really wants to help other people to achieve online success under a cost, can arrive to the surface.
All the best,
Leonard

You are correct that we are always updating the platform to keep ahead of the curve, with new technology, new training, and 100's of new discussions taking place weekly within Wealthy Affiliate.

Whether you are a newbie or seasoned, Wealthy Affiliate will school you.

Thanks Kevin, Wealthy Affiliate is truly a pay-it-forward community, and it is great to hear that you are feeling the support (and love) within the platform.
We cater to affiliate marketers and online businesses of all levels within WA, from "never tried" to 6 and 7-figure online business owners.
Really glad you are enjoying yourself!
Why I have been a member since 2007
The moment I signed up to Wealthy Affiliate I immediately felt overwhelmed in the best way. The training resources are vast - video courses, live video training with question time, keyword tools, and step-by-step guidance on everything from choosing your niche to getting traffic from search engines. It's an amazing one-stop shop. Just be aware that as I write this on January 2024 the training has just been updated in the last month. Whether you are a beginner or a more advanced marketer this site has something to offer you.
Beyond the education, though, the Wealthy Affiliate community brings tremendous value. Being able to connect and get advice from fellow members at all levels of success helped me feel like I wasn't alone on this journey. It inspired me to keep pushing through obstacles. In fairness, the community is the best part of this training site. It is awesome.
What I love most is that Wealthy Affiliate encourages members to not just build income for themselves but to make an impact in helping others. That sense of purpose is so empowering, and they call it paying it forward. I have done that am now an ambassador.
I can’t recommend Wealthy Affiliate highly enough to anyone wanting to create freedom through building an online business. It's not a get-rich-quick scheme but provides real skills. If you’re willing to put in consistent effort, it can truly transform your life. I’m so grateful I took that first step. I have been able to spend the last three years traveling around Central and South America.
In the seventeen years I have been with Wealthy Affiliate, I have seen it transform countless families' lives beyond recognition. Not only does it make its affiliates a success, but it rewards the best of them with a free trip to Los Vegas annually. What's not to like!
Another thing is that at least one of the co-owners is available several times a day in the live chat and you can contact them at any time.

Thank you so much for your positive review Catherine and for being a big part of the Wealthy Affiliate community since 2007. We love to hear stories how our platform has positively impacted people's lives!

It's great to hear about your experience with the community as well...we truly are a family. Our goal has always been to create a supportive environment where members can connect, share experiences, and grow together. We are going to continue to build in the pay-it-forward nature of the platform in the year ahead.
Wishing you an amazing 2024 ahead Catherine, and here's to many more years of success through our platform at WA!
A few years ago,I would have given this…
A few years ago,I would have given this company five stars, but decided to wait a bit longer for my review.
As you can see, it is now gone down to 3 stars, reasons why :
- The hosting is terrible. Although affordable, I really had to switch for one of my websites, because at the moment your traffic goes up and especially when you start to make money with ads, the speed goes down immensely. And they "forbid" you to use plugins which you really want to use, BECAUSE of the bad speed.
There was even one teacher claiming to NOT USE tools like google speed insights to check your speed, because , and I quote " what you see with your own eyes is good enough". Seriously?
So I decided to switch one of my websites to another host for 25 bucks a month, and all my Google insights went up straight away, take about user experience of my site going up!
When someone in the community pointed this out (and not just one person), they got slammed for it.
Slamming people who are the most helpful in the WA community and will leave because of this, is not helpful at all , WA!
- site support is horrible, it doesn't matter what Kyle claims, it is what it is. The times that I got a response like: ' I will pass this to others" and then deadly silence happened several times, that's again not very helpfull. On my other hosting platform, I defenitely get helped with any issues a lot quicker and more efficient!
- I am premium plus, so I want to advance with my business, let that be clear or I wouldn't be pp. But when I ask questions in certain classes from a certain teacher ( and I don't mean Vitaly or Roope..), also I can't ever be live, either I don't get a reply, either I was scorned the other day by a reply that basically said "if this is not for you, then move on"!
Seriously? FFS!
I gave ONE point of criticism, that this class WAS ALL OVER THE PLACE and very confusing, yet this teacher gave me the impression that I was stupid or something, WOW!
If that is the way that WA will keep on treating people who WANT TO ADVANCE IN THEIR BUSSINESS, and chasing people away that REALLY ARE HELPING OUT, like Partha and Diane, well sorry but that's not a good way to go, put your pride aside owners and teachers of WA!
Positve notes?
For beginners, WA is a really nice platform, and now that they have updated their starters platform,finally updated the beginner's lessons and have included AI, that makes up for it.
But what eventually MAKES WA is the community and by ranking people high (by promoting them as "ambassadors" which aren't really helpful, that isn't a good way,in my opinion.
All the TOP blog posts are about blablabla things or chat things, how are those helpful for my business and not just a huge waist of time?
If I want to chat about anything,I will go to social media thanks.
Yet, WA chases away people who are REALLY helpful in the community by getting mad at them for having some critical points about their business.
Get your act together WA!
That being said, I will probably stay on WA because of the AI implementation and the Hubs, and SOME of the classes. (why did you chase away Benji's Dad?)
This is just my opinion, no need to answer it Kyle.

Hi Lizzy,
Firstly, I want to thank you for recognizing the strengths of our platform. Your appreciation for our beginner-friendly (to advanced) approach, the AI implementation, and the value you find in certain classes and the community aspect is great. These are areas our our platform and community we've worked hard on, and will continue to evolve.
Now, let me address the concerns you've raised, as your feedback is of course is valuable in guiding our continual and ongoing improvement:
(1) Hosting Quality and Performance.
It's our focus to offer top-tier hosting services, and we currently have a 100/100 Google PageSpeed score out of the box. This of course is one of the fastest in the industry. We do understand that website performance can be influenced by user choices, such as plugins or themes added, which are outside our control. We're committed to providing a platform that balances freedom and performance, but as websites evolve and users want more features through the over 60,000 plugins in wordpress... and incorporate things like videos and media, speeds can slow down.
(2) Community Feedback.
Our recent innovations, including the introduction of business hubs, article designer, and AI authors, along with our revamped core training, were all inspired by feedback just like yours. We see the value in every suggestion and criticism, as it helps us evolve and maintain our leadership in the industry.
(3) Site Support’s Expertise.
We are proud of our SiteSupport team's expertise and their quick overall response time, averaging less than 5 minutes (above industry average). Their role is important in ensuring your website runs smoothly, although there are limitations when it comes to third-party plugins or themes and their capability to fix "slow" themes and plugins. That is typically the role of the designer, though they can diagnose where the problems exist, they don't have the control to speed up a 3rd party plugin, developed by another agency . We strive to offer the best support within these constraints.
(4) Class Experience with Industry Experts.
It’s great to know you've found value in many of our classes. Our instructors are indeed seasoned experts, each with a great deal of expertise in online business (and an average of 20 years experience). We encourage live participation for an interactive experience and also value post-class engagement for those who can't attend live sessions.

Your insights are a crucial part of our growth, and we're dedicated to making our platform the best it can be for every member and improve it based on all feedback. Thank you for your honest and constructive feedback, and for being a part of our community. :)

I've been a Wealthy Affiliate member for 6+ years
I've been a Wealthy Affiliate member since 2017 and I couldn't be happier. I came across Wealthy Affiliate when I was looking for a way to make a little extra income from my computer and over the years it became my full time job. The training at Wealthy Affiliate is great and all the leaders are more than willing to help you along the way. It's not a get-rich-quick scheme - it takes time and a lot of work - but if you're willing to learn and put in that work, Wealthy Affiliate can certainly teach you how to create a profitable website.

Wealthy Affiliate is a simply amazing online platform that offers comprehensive training in affiliate marketing. I have been a member for a couple of years now and I canot speak more highly of the experience.
With what I have learned at Wealthy Affiliate, I have been able to establish my own online business. Currently, I have two affiliate marketing websites and I also manage a non-profit website. None of this would have been possible without the education I have received from Wealthy Affiliate.
Not only is the training complete and effective, but there is also an incredible community of worldwide online entrepreneurs. Everyone in the community has a "pay-it-forward" attitude and provides help and advice to newcomers. I have benefited greatly from this, too.
I can highly recommend Wealthy Affiliate for anyone who wishes to establish an online business and work-from-home (or anywhere with an internet access!)
