Whether you have failed once or repeatedly, I am going to show you a safe, legitimate, and genuinely caring platform where you can learn affiliate marketing without worrying about hidden fees, shoddy teaching, sleazy tactics, upselling, or high pressure.
Why am I doing this?
Because I am not a fan of fast-money done-for-you websites that promise the moon and only deliver cheesy results. No, I want to show you a platform where the people are friendly, the founders are engaged with the community, and instruction is comprehensive.
No more, “I tried the done-for-you business deal and spent a lot of money, but I didn’t make any. The training was bad. There was no help, no communication, and it was too confusing. They kept trying to sell me more tools all the time. I couldn’t afford to keep up or keep going, but I spent too much to give up. I feel like they lied to me. They said it was easy and that it was done for me. I spent a lot of time on this and wasted my time and money. I really took a beating!”
Followed by…
“I’m never going to do that again. How will I ever recover my money? Affiliate marketing is a scam!”
But it’s not a scam because people are making tons of money doing affiliate marketing. I will show you where to build your business safely and comfortably. And you will have fun doing it because the community is super cool. I am sure you will make new friends there, too!
Who I Am
Hi! My name is Dave Hornbeck, the man in the picture below (bottom of page). I am an affiliate marketer at Wealthy Affiliate Marketing. I’m here to help you if you want to give affiliate marketing one more try but with a reputable platform this time.
You can trust me because I am too old to play games and not smart enough to be dishonest. I’m making money using affiliate marketing, and you can too.
No more BS. You’ve had enough of that already, and I went through the same thing you did, so believe me when I tell you I GET IT.
I bought into a five-thousand-dollar paid upfront funnel business with money I didn’t have to burn. The business promised great success while continuing to try to upsell me. I was pretty PO’d when it hit me that I was losing my tail.
Anger was one way to put my feelings into perspective. If I could have gotten my hands on the guy… well, you know. It took two years to get out of debt from that one.
Here’s the thing, though. I still believed in the affiliate marketing business model, and as serendipity would have it, I stumbled onto Wealthy Affiliate Marketing. I was truly saved. Wealthy Affiliate rocks from bottom to top.
What’s the difference, you ask?
Transparency.
While others promise wealth without proof and sell you on hype, Wealthy Affiliate lays it out plainly and without hidden fees or upsells. I will lay it out for you right now.
Wealthy Affiliate Pricing
Wealthy Affiliate starts you off for free if you want to. Maybe you want to jump right in. But the free only lasts long enough for you to get a taste of the business (I told you no BS).
After you set up your website, which could be in as little as ten minutes from now with their WordPress configuration, and you get a chance to mingle with the community, you have to decide whether to continue on and go live or bow out.
If you want to go live, there are three pricing levels. I will only tell you about two because the third level is for super affiliates. I’m not there, so I assume you’re not either.
The premium level costs $49 per month if you want to pay monthly or $24.92 per month if you make the $299 annual payment. The beauty of this is you can try it for a month or two without losing your shirt. If you love it, go annual and save some money.
The premium plus+ level costs $99 per month or $41.42 monthly if you make the $497 annual payment. Because of the extra training, this is the most popular level. You won’t need it for a while, but remember, you can always level up.
The main differences are the number of managed sites and free domains: 3 vs. 10 and 1 vs. 2, respectively.
The core niche training is exactly the same! You get the same bang-for-the-buck training with each. Start with premium and level up when you are ready.

Bouncing Back From Affiliate Marketing Oblivion
I know I’m starting to go long here but bear with me for a bit. Here it is for those who don’t know what affiliate marketing is.
Affiliate marketing is a performance-based marketing strategy where an individual (affiliate/you) earns a commission for promoting and driving sales or traffic to a merchant’s website through their unique referral link.
Affiliates use various methods to attract potential customers, such as blogs, YouTube, social media, and email campaigns. The merchant provides the affiliate with tracking links to monitor the sales generated through their efforts. This model benefits both parties: merchants gain more exposure and sales, while affiliates earn a percentage of the revenue from the sales they facilitate.
Wealthy Affiliate teaches you everything you need to know, step by step, to build a successful website at either of the premium levels.
They teach you how to choose a niche, which could be a passion, a hobby, an interest, or even something you want to learn more about.
They teach how to write great copy with or without help from artificial intelligence, copy that is engaging and helpful to your audience.
Then they teach how to monetize the copy to hook up with merchants that provide commissions for your sales.
I’m telling you, it’s an affiliate marketing utopia at Wealthy Affiliate.
