Are you a stay at home mom or dad in search of a way to make money online from the comfort of your home?
If so, then you have come to the right place as I’ll be showing you how you can earn money from a hobby of yours and learn how to turn this hobby into a full time profit generating business from home.
Before you ask, this isn’t some crazy MLM where you’ll need to host parties or buy inventory and recruit as many people as you can just to make money.
I have been apart of way too many of these systems myself and had no luck with them, so trust me when I say this isn’t anything like that.
If I can get a few minutes of your time and undivided attention, I’ll explain exactly what I’m talking about and even show you a way to get Started For Free?
Sound good?
Let’s get started!!
Times Are Rapidly Changing
I can still remember when I was a kid growing up in the 70’s and 80’s that both my parents would be off working 40 to 60 hours a week at a job just to put food on the table and provide me with a decent childhood.
To this day, I am still grateful for everything they have done for me and I’ll never forget it.
However, thanks to technology rapidly evolving you can actually earn a full time living from the comfort of your home by utilizing the power of the internet.
I have personally been earning a full time living from home for close to 5 years now and I absolutely love it!!
I wouldn’t trade what I do for a living for any other job out there.
Gone are the days of going out and getting a traditional job doing something that you absolutely hate and the only reason you’re there is to collect a paycheck.
Not to mention having to pay for daycare and be away from your kids for the majority of the day and only see them for a few hours a day.
Is that any way to live your life?
Seriously?
Introducing Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate marketing involves you becoming the middleman for many online retailers and getting paid to state your opinion about certain products and services.
It’s actually a whole lot more complex than that but if I had to give a basic overview, this is what I would go with.
Getting started with affiliate marketing is one of the most cost-effective ways to build a business and learn while you earn.
Yes, you read that right, learn while you earn!!
If you were to take a college course on business it’s going to take you a minimum of 4 years before you can use the skills that you learn and put them to good use.
Even then, there are no guarantees that you’ll even get a job after you graduate.
The beauty of affiliate marketing is that you don’t need any experience and you don’t need any special skills to get started.
If you can read and write and have basic computer skills (Facebook, email, surfing the web) you can be very successful with affiliate marketing.
How To Get Started With Affiliate Marketing
Getting started isn’t exactly the easiest and there is actually quite a learning curve that comes with this and this is where most people get frustrated and quit after their first month or 2.
There are a plethora of places on the world wide web that claim to show you the proper way to set up shop but most of them are scams that are only interested in taking your money and leaving you with nothing.
However, there are a few places out there that are legit, but they are few and far between.
Wealthy Affiliate is the place that taught me everything I know today and they’re responsible for me being as successful as I have been over the past 5 years.
What I like about WA the most is the fact that they’re genuine and they truly do care about helping you succeed online.
They also provide you with everything you need to get started all in 1 place for one low monthly fee.
How Does It Work?
You’ll be learning how to build a website based on a hobby or interest of yours and learning how to write content that will get ranked in the search engines (Google, Bing, Yahoo)
There are step by step training lessons that take you by the hand and show you how to set everything up along with a place for you to ask questions if you get stuck or need a hand with anything.
Once you finish each lesson you’ll need to take action by doing whatever you were instructed to do in the training lesson.
There are also tasks that you’ll need to complete before moving on to the next lesson.
What All Do You Need To Get Started
Just like any job or project of any kind, you’re going to need the right tools to get started and this especially holds true in the online world as well.
Here is everything you’re going to need to get everything setup and start building your empire below
- Websites
- Domains & Subdomains
- Hosting
- Website Builder
- A Keyword Tool
- The Right Training
- A Writing Platform
- Help & Support
- 1 on 1 Private Coaching
Like I said earlier, all is this is available at Wealthy Affiliate and unlike other companies that make you pay extra to gain access to other parts of their site WA provides you with instant access to everything you need at NO additional charge.
Technically speaking you could purchase a domain name for $10 and be up and running on the internet in no time if you know what you’re doing and are able to figure things out on your own with no help.
However, if you lack technical skills and you don’t do that great with figuring stuff out on your own then WA is the best place for you to get started learning this stuff.
How Much Does It Cost To Get Started?
Just the thought of starting a business sounds expensive, right?
If you were to go out in the outside world and inquire about starting a business how much cash money do you think would be required up front?
Depending on the type of business would determine how much you would need to pay to get started but this number is likely to be in the thousands.
Like I said earlier, affiliate marketing is one of the most cost-effective and lucrative business models out there that lets you get started for pennies on the dollar.
You can actually get started for free and test drive the entire system out before making the decision to invest in the more advanced training courses offered at WA.
Once you’re ready to take your training to the next level they do have a premium membership that costs $49 a month.
This includes everything that I listed above as well as a plethora of other features that are waiting for you once you become a premium member.

Hey Scott,
I’m a stay at home dad who is always looking for additional ways to earn extra money from home to make ends meet and help my wife out in any way I can.
I have heard of affiliate marketing before and have even tried it a few years back but ended up getting scammed and never was able to recover my initial investment.
What makes Wealthy Affiliate so much different from these other companies out there. I must admit that this article has definitely intrigued me to find out more and given me some hope.
If you could reply back and help me understand how this works and give me more details that would be awesome.
I’ll be looking forward to your reply

Hey Sam,
Thanks so much for stopping by man and chiming in on this topic of conversation.
First off, I’m sorry to hear that you were scammed by some other company who claimed to teach you how affiliate marketing works and that you weren’t able to get your money back.
Wealthy Affiliate takes a completely different approach to affiliate marketing than other companies by actually providing you with the tools and training needed to build a business online.
Instead of hyping this up and telling you that you’ll make a predetermined amount of money within a certain time frame (which is impossible to predict anyway)
They provide you with the actual blueprint for success, the only thing you need to do is take action on what you learn and apply it to your website.
Another thing that makes WA so unique is that they don’t ask for your credit card number before you gain access to their site.
You can test drive everything they have to offer you first and then make the decision as too whether this is something you could see yourself doing as a career or full time.
Affiliate marketing at its core consists of 5 key concepts and if you can understand this then you can be successful and make lots of money here.
Pick a hobby or topic that you’re passionate about
Build a website around this topic
Learn how to write content that will get ranked in Google
Generate traffic (An audience of interested people)
Learn how to turn that traffic into sales
If you can understand these 5 simple steps thats all there really is to it.
I really hope this has helped answer your question Sam and please let me know if you have any other questions or need a hand getting started.
Happy Easter
~Scott~
