Wealthy Affiliate University For Newbies
What The Celt Learned There Will Shock You!
“WARNING”
When I joined Wealthy Affiliate University a while back at a subscription price of $39 a month and now more, cheaper if you join by the year, I got way more than I bargained for at making money online.
For those of you not joined yet, or thinking of joining, here’s what happens. They put you on an 8 week training program and bamboozle the bejasus out of you, so much so, that your brain is frothing from your left front ventilation shaft system, that it would take you a lifetime to figure it out. Now granted, they do offer a web-site and hosting included for the $39.95 a month and some rubic cube thingie, but if you decide to quit their subscription you lose it all. Do yourself a favor and get the best hosting on the market for $7.95 a month. Its a site called Hostgator
Once you have that set up, you can put as many sites together as you want with Wordpress.org thru one of the little extras that Hostgator provides for “free” called Fantastico. Oh, btw, get their “Baby” package!
WARNING: stay away from 1&1 Hosting, they’re cheap but crap. Guess where I heard about them in the first place? Uh Huh!
Anyway, getting back on track…… Sorry this post is a little long but this needs to be said!
When I checked out these so called success stories in the forum, I found that there were certainly stories alright, but what is a success story? Is it a new Affiliate Marketer having been with Wealthy Affiliate University for 8 Months, yes, I said 8 months, and made 1 sale (a Total of 1 Sale) with a Clinkbank product.
Now, I don’t know bout you, but I don’t consider that very successful and the math just don’t add up and here’s why. 8 by $39 = $312. Whoah?, is that right? Of course its right.
So, lets see, $312 – $27 for a click bank sale = $295 for Wealthy Affiliate University.

Don’t feel so bad newbies, it gets better!
“ I’m being a little facetious here, tee hee”
Don’t Say I didn’t warn you!
This place is a “Breathing Ground for Gurus” and for those of you that don’t know what a “guru” is, I will tell you. A guru is an Affiliate Marketer that has made his/her way up the chain and is now sitting, on the heap pile. King of the Hill, top of the heap!. I could think of few other descriptions but I want to keep this little blog family orientated, but you get the idea.
Ask yourself this? Why are there “gurus” training at Wealthy Affiliate University? I will tell you why! They are simply there, not to learn, but to quietly stalk the newbies and sell them “their products” over a period of time. This is what’s known as a breaking in period for the newbies.
The reason the newbies join Wealthy Affiliate University in the first place, is to gain the knowledge necessary, and to know how to market a product and ultimately make money online., and not to be taken advantage of in this manner. Hey, a lot of this stuff can be learned for free just by doing a google search. And I mean a lot!
Yes, I learned a good lesson and the lesson is~ Watch out for the “ruthless gurus”
They will befriend you and suck you dry for as much as they think you are worth and then pass you on like an old rag doll to their comrades, to get fleeced some more. The cunning part is, you wont even know its happening until its too late and you’ve spent a small fortune!
Yeah, you say, that wont happen to me! And you’re just crying over spilled milk, but you mark my words. Remember its all in “The List” and who do you think is on that list? Yep, the newbies. Freebies for the newbies. Don’t you know by now there is no such thing a freebies and if you don’t you shouldn’t be in this game.
Yes, I was mad when this happened, but I have calmed down since and as someone dear to me pointed out, hey Celt? It could have been a lot worse and you could have been taken for more.. I agree, even though it sticks in my craw to be taken even for a buck. 39 bucks in the craw is hard to swallow. it’s the principal that counts, right? Oh well, life goes on! Oh btw, in case you’re wondering, yes I got my fee back, after being told that WAU dont give refunds.
My Credit Card company was having none of of that crap and a demand notice was sent. Guess what happened? Uh-huh! you betcha. Don’t mess with The Celt.
Hey people, do yourself a favor and stay away from anything to do with “digital products” from any Internet Marketers. The only people making any money out of this game is the Affiliates that have produced their own products and have them sitting there on Clickbank for the newbies to promote. Its a numbers game.
Get yourself a good physical product. Join Amazon, eBay, Linkshare, Commission Junction, or the likes and possibly get 1-2 digital products but not a slew of them and have at it! I am slowly weeding out these “shady gurus” and will be recommending certain products that will help you.
Anyway, nuff said for now. I want to leave you with some positive thoughts. Every dog has their day. What goes around comes around. Remember, it’s all in the “sevens” $17, $27, $37, $47, $97 and so on. Don’t believe me?, check out the Affiliate Products on Clickbank. Hell, even I sell a product for seven bucks. I guess you could say I learned something!
Look, I’m a musician and Internet Marketer and I know that I’ve been spouting off about digital products but sometimes you do have to learn certain things about Affiliate Marketing and I have, and have made money into the bargain. But, I tell it like it is and the only person that I can honestly recommend and trust at the moment, where you can actually learn something, is with a lady called Tiffany Dow.
Follow her and get her book, its a gem. Its called eBook Empire and yes I will make a commission if you order through this link. Building an eBook Empire Anyway, it covers a boat load of stuff that will help you, that is if you decide that internet marketing or affiliate marketing is right for you.
Don’t be taken by the mish-mash crap that’s re-circulating hogwash from Billy to Jack and ends up with scuttle-bug that will have your head floating in the mire.
