I DO know Wealthy Affiliates first-hand as I WAS a member for 1 year. I used 3 websites through them and I was successful BEHIND the scenes with networking and connecting with people but there I did not get the help I needed or wanted. It wasn’t like I did not reach out to others either but the worst part of being there is right now over a year later.
It CAN be worked with the basics but it will take you a long time to get them working using a host sublinked website and just 2 before you have to pay for your domains which one should want to do even for the 1st two so you do not have the long sublink. I wouldn’t buy from a sublink. I would think it is a trap or a “sneaky” website more so than a “trusted” dot com site. That is why it is ALWAYS worth paying the $11.99 or $12.99 for the domain registration, for the MILLIONS of people like me in the computer security field.
4) For your last question, I’m not sure what’s the “Wealthy Academy” or “WH Academy” you’re talking about. I suppose you’re talking about Wealthy Affiliate? Anyway, I understand that you’re looking for a place to get a basic step-by-step training to help you get started on doing the real thing. So, I do recommend you to sign up with Wealthy Affiliate. It’s a platform which will provide you with step-by-step training from scratch, teaching you how to set up your own website, things like that. It’s Free to get started, so I’ll see you in the community soon!
This is a useful resource for most tools you’ll need to your online business successfully. Some of these are: social media tools, Email Service Provider (ESP) and your website domain. Ordinarily you could just search Google and you’ll arrive at different vendors for these, but the advantage of using the links in the CBU toolkit is you’ll be able to purchase from legit vendors at a friendlier price.
First of all, I’m not saying you MUST host your website at ClickBank. But if you’ve started building website using their Builder tool, it’s hard for you to move it somewhere else, not because they hold “hostage” to your website. It’s because the contents are built in such a way that it can only be shown properly using their Builder. When you move your website to somewhere else, you have to spend a lot of time re-doing all the content to make it look visually appealing. You get my point here? This is just like many other content/page builders. Once you stop using the plugin, your content is no longer readable.
I was also a full-time procrastinator just like you but one day I finally thought that I have to do something now. Starting out something is the worst part. Some days were good, some were bad. But at last, you will learn something. Now I am earning a full-time income just as an affiliate. Things will take time my friend but firstly you have to take action.
In case you’re someone who is absolutely clueless about digital marketing and clickbank marketing, you can always use the 8-week and 12-week training programs to their full potential. The live weekly sessions will clarify your doubts about anything and everything pertaining to marketing. While the first two weeks elucidate on ideas that you can use for creating new products, the following weeks offer you the necessary insight on setting up your very own sales page and landing page. The fourth and fifth weeks are relevant in helping you explain how your visitors can transform to potential buyers, while the sixth week focuses more on helping you build a proper email list. Finally, the 7th week will give you valuable insights on how you can get your product approved in the specific marketplace where you are selling it on the first place and in 8th week you’ll get to know how you can collaborate with other vendors.
You know what is funny? Right now as I go to WA to get the info for my site, some of it has changed. The ENTIRE site has been wiped out and replaced. I guess WA DELETED it or domain shield did. I do not have ANY of my products on it. It was not even a valid link the last time I went to open it. Now it DOES open and shows a damn flower pot. It shows WA servers holding it again at the WA site which I changed several times to the BLUE HOST servers and Enom told them to LEAVE alone and in 10 days they would automatically lock in or something of the sort but of course that did not work either.
As for being OVERLY positive, as you said, I don’t really get that ‘feeling’ when browsing their site. I expected to ‘see’ them ‘shouting from the rooftops’ about how awesome CB University is (based on your comment), but didn’t really get that feeling. It just felt to me like they were trying too hard to come off a real review, despite it clearly not being one.
Another feature that definitely makes the cut is the CBU toolkit. Although you’re required to pay some extra money for it, the tool seems to be worth the value since it lets you access all the necessary resources for fully running a working website. Some of these tools include the email service provider tool, tools for social media marketing and so on.
Summary: ClickBank University 2.0 has a solid course with useful tools to help people create their own digital products, market it on ClickBank and make money. They also have a set of course to guide people in affiliate marketing but the information is limited and outdated. In addition, CBU has a high-ticket upsell which they did not reveal to you upfront. So, take note of that!
