Wealthy Affiliate Review - Scam or Legit Program?

I bet, this Wealthy Affiliate review will reveal what affiliates do not want you to know.

You can watch this video to have a look inside Wealthy Affiliate.

In this article l will cover;

Wealthy Affiliate Review on BBB.
Wealthy Affiliate Complaints.
Wealthy Affiliate Success Stories.


After moving to Sweden a few years back and realising that it was difficult to get a job without speaking the language. ‘Prata inte Svenska’ l decided to look for opportunities to make money online.

That is when l stumbled upon Wealthy Affiliate University. I was skeptical at first, but since no account details are required to get started. l took a plunge.

My wife later created her own Free Membership account, she still holds to date. I later upgraded to Premium Membership, so l have a unique opportunity to evaluate both levels.

After joining, l wanted to know where the catch was. So l searched for Wealthy Affiliate BBB review.


Wealthy Affiliate BBB Complaints.


It is important to remember that it is NOT compulsory for companies to register with (Better Business Bureau) BBB. You must pay BBB ($400 to $1000) and get accreditation which allows you to defend any complaints.

If you refuse to pay, you cannot answer complaints against your company and you are poorly rated... period.

Well, there were 5 Wealthy Affiliate complaints in total then. Since WA was established in 2003, it had an average of 1 complaint per year.

Only ONE complaint was against WA as a product out of 154 812 active members. All complaints where effectively dealt with and CLOSED.

And yet BBB out of its wisdom.... or lack of it, had awarded WA an F rating which they later revised to B+ out of shame.

But…. can you really trust BBB ratings?

For instance, one of the BBB Wealthy Affiliate complaints was from a former member trying to create multiple free accounts. The system automatically detected the anomaly and rejected the application.

That complaint influenced BBB to award Wealthy Affiliate B plus rating .... DUH?

Take BBB ratings with a pinch of salt and exercise personal due diligence. A case of BBB good intentions gone wrong.

Just saying…..

Wealthy Affiliate Reviews Complaints.

Most complaints against WA are mostly by members who upgrade their membership without reading the terms and conditions. It is clearly stated that you will be automatically billed for subsequent months thereafter. This of course is to avoid disruption of services such as web-hosting.

In my own experience, there are too many members with different opinions. You must exercise due diligence when taking advice from WA forum. Newbies and experts alike, can all offer advice and opinions to you.

The trial period is too short. You can try ALL Premium features only in the first 7 days. Once you blow that chance …. That’s it. A possible reason why people try to recreate accounts or delete Wealthy Affiliate account so that they can start afresh.

Most Wealthy Affiliate reviews will not tell you that, once you upgrade your membership to Premium you can't revert back to Free Membership. This is because of too many changes that occur in the system when you upgrade your membership. Besides, you can remain on Wealthy Affiliate Free Membership forever.



Wealthy Affiliate FAQ.


Is Wealthy Affiliate legit?

The definition of legit;
"Conforming to the rules …not engaging in illegal activity or attempting to deceive; honest".
Wealthy Affiliate conforms to rules as a registered business in America. You pay for real products; training, reliable web-hosting and lots more. I am not aware of any illegal activities that the company is involved in.

When it comes to honesty, l would highly rate WA including its affiliates. Everything is straight forward. It is free to join the WA Community. You can upgrade to Premium Membership if you choose to do so. You pay $19 in the first month and you are automatically billed $47/month there after.

There are NO up-sells or offers EVER!

Unlike other programs, there are no promises of making millions in days. Owning Yachts, Fast Speed Cars and affording travel.

You reap what you sow.

Wealthy affiliate success stories.

There are thousands of success stories inside WA. They range from celebrating the first $, Google first page ranking and others making thousands of dollars per month.

There is no need to take screen shots of such stories. Anyone can read the Wealthy Affiliate success stories once they visit the website.

Does Wealthy Affiliate work?


NO! It does not work for you. You will do most of the work. Wealthy Affiliate only provides you with the training, tools and support.

It is not an auto-cash machine, new formula or a push button system of some sort.

Wealthy Affiliate Premium price?

Free Membership -  free forever.
Premium Membership - $19 in the first month and $47 per month is subsequent months.

If you introduce only 2 members who later upgrade to Premium Membership. You can off-set your monthly subscription.

If you are serious and committed to making money online. WA Yearly Membership – $359 is for you. This is the cost of a single up-sell in most affiliate marketing scams.

Is Wealthy Affiliate worth it?

It depends on how you follow the training, use the tools and most importantly … TAKE ACTION.

Stay as a Free Member until you start earning …. If you are a complete Newbie. My wife gets at least $50 a month even though she puts a little effort and holds a free membership account.

Often, new members do not even complete the registration process and fail to test the Premium Membership in the first 7 days. Others rush to upgrade their membership before they even create free websites, only to regret latter.
