Well, this will be one of the most on the fly reports/write ups I have ever done. Most articles and reports require research and thought out posts, but here I am going with my gut.. Im gonna go with what I know for sure.

A TRUE REVIEW… THE WA REVIEW

Wealthy Affiliate Review - The main reason I want to talk about the wealthy affiliate tonight, is different probably from what other reviews focus on. I have been a marketer for close to 12 years now, and have had many successful web ventures. The WA came along a few months ago for me, after having seen Carson & Kyle many times on many sites.. I decided what the heck.. They seem genuine, and there is a good base of members, so why not take a chance on a month subscription.. Another reason, was that I like the writings of Travis, the Bum Marketing guru. So back on March 4th I took the plunge, and joined the wealthy affiliate.

WA has a lot of what every internet marketer wants. It sound simple, but it’s true.. I am very serious when I say this. Check out a pic of the backend –

If you click the small image here, you will be taken to the larger screen of the wealthy affiliate backend. If you look close, you will begin to see the many aspects that WA has taken into consideration. Affiliate Marketing involves so many elements, and this can prove to be overwhelming for so many marketers. What this site does, is it breaks down the steps to success and ensures you have every ressource available to capitalize on your marketing efforts.\

1. Learning Center - A very handy set of instructions set out in a very clear manner. Wealthy affiliates, at no matter what experince level, can sign into the learning center and choose from Junior, Intermediate and Expert. Each section details out lesson plans, tells you the estimated time each one will take and gives step by step advice on how to complete the modules. The WA doesn’t hide anything. You have FULL disclosure from successful affiliates *Kyle and Carson*, and they do their best to prep you before you head into the Marketing battle
2. 8 Week Action Plan - This is an extension of the Learning Center.. basically, wealthy affiliate offers an 8 week course, which is broken down in very manageable steps. There is NO reason anyone should be confused with these modules, they are laid out in VERY easy terms, and if there are ever any problems, there is a ton of support on the WA forum, which I will get to shortly .
3. Reasearch Center - This is by far my most use section inside WA - If I were to be doing a WA Review, and I didnt say that this was my favorite area, then I;d be giving a bad review. This is handy for a number of reasons, and mainly I find it useful for PPC and using pay per click strategies. First on the menu is a  Google Match Type tool. You can use this to clean.expand or scrub your Adwords campaign keywords.. For example.. Enter in Wealthy Affiliate Review Sites, (along with a bunch more keywords) and it will give the Broad, Exact and Phrase match punctuation and tihs is a huge timesaver. (” ” [ ] etc)
   Keyword Phrase Builder - Just as the title implies, The WA backend has an option for you to enter as many keywords in 3 boxes as  you like. It will then rearrange and assort them in an organized way to give you all the possible outcomes.. This is nice for adding keywords to your existing ppc campaign, OR to just add to your existing site, in hopes of acquiring more organic search engine traffic.
   The Competition Spy Tool - This is a very useful tool for when you enter into the PPC market. If you have your product or your affiliate product, you are going to want to see who your competition is, and what they are doing. You can see their ads in real time, their landing pages etc. You can also set this up to run at different times of day etc, This gives you an edge above anyone else not researching properly from the outset, as you can see what is more then likely working. Then you can simply expand on it, as ANY wealthy affiliate would do.
   Keyword Research Tool -you will be able to easily create keyword lists and conduct effective keyword research. Finding top searched, relevant keywords highly affects the amount of money that you can squeeze out of a campaign.

   All results within this tool are received from Google. This tool not only searches for keywords that you choose, it searches for keywords that Google considers relevant to your initial search. This can allow you to find niche keywords that you may not have though of.
   Keyword Generator - Use the keyword generator to create a keyword list based on “pre” and “post” words that we have predefined. When starting a new campaign it is always very beneficial to advertise the product keywords. This tool will create adgroups for you based on a product keyword, and words that we know convert into sales.
   Clickbank Research Tool - Another great feature of the WA and to give a full Review of the Wealthy affiliate, we have to say this is a great tool - Finding products on Clickbank is difficult to say the least. The Clickbank marketplace search functionality is very limited and it lacks some very useful information that affiliates should have when making informed decisions about promoting products. There are other programs available online that are similar to this tool, but they cost you money to get the “FULL” package and functionality. We don’t want you to have to pay for something like this, so we developed our own system that offers great functionality and features.

4. Marketing Materiels - This section contains very valuable information on  Pay Per Click networks (the nuances, rules and oddities of each that will certainly save you time and increase your ROI), Affiliate Networks and how to properly research each, so you can find that niche suitable for marketing efforts, and some awesome Website Templates.. Ready to use and ready for download.. The Wealthy affiliate truly wants you to succeed, so they REALLY load this area up nicely.

5. Affiliate Program - This is another great area that has selections on various things such as your affiliate records, (should you want to send your hop links/affiliate codes to their proprietary tracking server), Incentive programs from WA, info on Promoting the Wealthy Affiliate program, the Site Rubix (which Ill cover tomorrow), and basically “how to” promote other popular offerings. The strategies they employ aren’t your average techniques, and should be worth the small monthly in themselves.. heck, refer 2 friends/people to WA, and you get ALL of this and more for free.

In our next update, I will go into further depth with more images on the Wealthy Affiliate backend, as well I will discuss the WA Forums, where you actually will get your chance to interact with some of the most helpfull, friendly and successful internet marketers on the web. The site rubix is their new proprietary software that allows you to build websites by the truckload, with NO programming experience. I will be adding a very quick video clip of that as well so you can really see the advantage to becoming a member of the wealthy affiliate.

I hope you enjoyed my first installement of the truth on the wealthy affiliate membership area, the WA Review.
