(Editor’s Note):

The following is an open letter from a Senior Wealthy Affiliate member by the name of Marcus:

Hey,

Hope you’re having a great weekend!

… I feel it’s important that I keep you up to date with any major changes at Wealthy Affiliate, and today I would like to give you a tip that will help you avoid paying more than necessary if you are thinking of joining WA before the price increase.

If for some reason you haven’t yet heard about the price increase coming this Monday the 7th June (2010), you can find all the details on the following page:

==>WA price increase details

This increase to $97 per month has prompted many people to act smart and sign up for the yearly option before the price increase on Monday (at noon EDT). Why? Because right now it’s a one-off payment of $359.88, and that works out at the equivalent of $29.99 per month (12 x 29.99 = 359.88)

BUT WAIT…

Are those people really being smart?

Yes that’s one heck of a saving when you consider it will cost $797
on Monday, but how many people can realistically afford to pull $359 out of the air before that time?

Believe or not, a lot of people.

I say they can afford it, but 99% of them CAN’T afford it…they just think it’s the right thing to do.

But the truth is…they really don’t need to!

Here’s why.

If someone joins WA via the monthly option before this coming Monday (June 7, 2010) at noon EDT, it will only cost $39. Not only that but they will NEVER be subject to any future price increase because they will have joined before the deadline. This also means that IF they like what they see and want to upgrade to the yearly option at some point in the future, it will only cost…$359!

To clarify, you DO NOT have to sign up to WA via the yearly option to get the much cheaper yearly deal before Monday. If funds are tight, take the monthly option for now ($39), and you can upgrade to the cheaper yearly option at ANY point in the future when your finances allow it.

You can lock in at WA for the current price right now on the following page:
 

Now I appreciate that you’ve probably been bombarded with emails
about the WA price increase this coming Monday (June 7th, 2010), but I’ve had a number of questions about this yearly option in particular, and I want to make sure that my subscribers fully understand that they DO NOT need to take that option yet if they don’t want to.

This will be your last ever chance to join Wealthy Affiliate at $39 per month, so if it’s something that you’ve been putting off for a
while, now is the time to take action:

Enjoy the remainder of your weekend, and I hope to see you inside
WA!

Marcus

================================================
Question: What are the benefits of Internet marketing at WA?
================================================

When we began Internet marketing, we were going into the business blind. No support, no foundation, no knowledge of the business. What we did know is that Internet marketing is one of the best ways to earn large amounts of money as spending continues to shift from offline to online. It is growing exponentially every year as people are now spending billions of dollars online.

**Recessions do not affect Internet marketers. People look for deals when recessions hit, and they move more spending online!**

Working as an Internet marketer allows you to work from the comfort of your own home (who doesn’t this appeal to?). No “road rage” waiting in traffic every day on your way to work. No customer service, product delivery, responsibilities, or payment processing. No working for a company that pays you little yet benefits greatly from your hard work!

There are 10,000′s of companies lining up wanting nothing more than to have you as their affiliate…and the best part about this is that they will pay you large sums of money to promote them.

With Wealthy Affiliate we will help you grow your business to a point where you can have some financial success. You will have the freedom to get up whenever you want, and if you like, work from home in your comfy clothes (we get away with this on occasion!)

We will help you learn all of the in’s and out’s of business and show you the path to build an extraordinary business online.

Our resources, tools, and coaching will give you all the answers you need, and our exclusive forum has become such a valuable communication tool, that some of our members feel that the cost of the membership is worth just the access to the forum, never mind the abundance of in-house and member shared resources.

On another note, we hate to be the messenger of BAD news, but we may be increasing the price of Wealthy Affiliate sometime in the near future. WA is still undervalued greatly at $39/month and we are completely aware of this.

There are programs that do not even offer a fraction of what you get at Wealthy Affiliate for over $897/month!!

We have been told that we are “crazy”, “out o f our minds”, “leaving money on the table” and many other names by our competition because we have kept things so affordable that their services seem too expensive!

So if you have ever wanted to become a wealthy and successful Internet entrepreneur, the time is now. We are giving you the right to sign-up this minute and lock into WA forever at the current price!

Even 5 years down the road when the member fees are several $100/month to new members (which we can guarantee they will be), you will still be locked in at this price of $39/month.!

We have already decided on what the price is going to go up to with our next price increase. It will be $99 per month…as we believe WA will still be a steal at this price.

If you are interested in becoming a Wealthy Affiliate, we suggest that you make the investment in yourself and your future today. You are not required to lock in for any period of time and can cancel at any time in the future if your financial situations change.

Imagine the life of a successful marketer…we know this can be YOU! .

(Editor’s Note: Here’s another open letter from the founders of Wealthy Affiliate – Kyle & Carson)

================================================
Question: I have been ripped off several times by money-making schemes! Is this just another get-rich-quick scam?
================================================

We know exactly where you are coming from! We are aware that there are many similar programs out there and 99% of them are a complete rip-off. These companies make sales because of their smooth promotion tactics and sly marketing, yet their products, service and customer support are very poor!

When most people first login to WA they send us a note thanking us for what we have created…usually out of complete shock that we actually live up to all of our claims. If you decide to join you will also be relieved when you find out that we are the furthest thing from a scam that exists on the Internet.

Plain and simple, Wealthy Affiliate is NOT a scam. Wealthy Affiliate is also NOT a one-time download, take-your-money-and-run product. In fact, the members at Wealthy Affiliate are making millions every year using the skills they learned from WA!

Imagine being part of a community that CARES and wants YOU to become a huge success…

We are an interactive, innovative Internet marketing community, and if you are ever unhappy with your own campaigns, we can help steer you in the right direction and show you where you might be failing. Our success is based on your success, so each and every member carries the same importance to us.

We’re not saying you will be rich overnight or even a few weeks. There will have to be some dedication and hard work on your part, but if you are willing to do this, then the opportunities are endless.

Hard work does pay off! We know what it takes to succeed online and it is much less work than any day job out there, yet the rewards are much greater.

Wealthy Affiliate is a community that truly cares about your success!

Feeling dizzy? Sorry for the overload of details, but we wanted to try to include most of what we offered at WA. If sold separately, we would not even try to put a price tag on it, but it would definitely go for $1000′s per month and chances are you have already spent thousands (and received much less).

Our goal has always been to over-deliver at Wealthy Affiliate. Although we offer a great service now, we strive to get better with every day that passes.

Our purpose is to create a massive group of “successful” marketers. Unike most marketers and “guru’s” you are probably used to, we actually do care about you and we have grown to the size we are at today because we actually live up to our claims.

We understand that it can be difficult to get started as an Internet marketer, and not many people can afford $100′s every month. This is why we continue to keep the membership costs low, while the resources and tools keep growing. We are truly here to help you and there is nothing more gratifying than hearing another success story from a member or seeing an improvement in their overall skill-set.

Wealthy Affiliate offers members more services than any other Internet marketing community, ANYWHERE. The resources and the success rate only continues to climb as we develop new resources and functionality that take our members to the next level.

With unlimited access to our resources and 1-on-1 coaching, there is no reason that you should not become an Internet success! We have MANY members who have also taken part in the WA Affiliate Program, and now earn their monthly membership free just by referring 2 friends to our program. They get to work with their friends and it covers their membership costs…how easy is that!

Wealthy Affiliate will continue to exceed everyone’s expectations! Get access to everything now!

(Editor’s Note: Here’s another open letter from the founders of Wealthy Affiliate – Kyle & Carson)

================================================
Question: I am a complete beginner to Internet marketing, and don’t have any experience – can I still succeed with your program?
================================================

We are here to help you! We have been at this since 2002 and have definitely learned what to do and what not to do along the way. We can also totally relate to you since we were once beginner internet marketers…no marketing experience at all.

We have created a large number of resources and tools within Wealthy Affiliate that cater to complete beginners. This includes our initial Internet Marketing action plan that will literally walk you through the entire process, from beginner to much more advanced techniques. No matter which level you are on right now (junior, intermediate, or senior) we can help you build and expand Internet marketing goals.

Also, we have 8 different Internet marketing categories. This includes every facet of Internet marketing, including PPC, Article Marketing, SEO, Research, Website Development, Email Marketing, etc. Each of these categories also have a Getting Started guide that will walk you through the fundamentals, to more advanced techniques.

Heck, if we had access to Wealthy Affiliate when starting out, trust us, we would have achieved the profits that we earn today much quicker. We created most of our success from our mistakes and knowing what not to do.

We also have a “famous” forum that is known for it’s legendary posts that not only give away the secrets, but are very supportive and inspiring! Fellow members share their advice, suggestions, and questions.

And remember, we are always there to help you with any questions that you may have. Yes, personal access to Kyle & Carson.

So to answer your questions, you don’t need an “ounce” of experience. We are the world’s best hand-holders and we can walk you through the trenches that we had to battle through, leading you to much quicker success!

(Editor’s Note: Here’s another open letter from the founders of Wealthy Affiliate – Kyle & Carson)

Kyle and Carson here again. We are always getting an influx of prospect customers asking us questions about Wealthy Affiliate. There a couple reasons for the “uncomfortable” feeling people have when buying within this industry.

One, a lot of people have been scammed, maybe even you have been in the past. We are going to set the record straight as to why we are 100% legit and why we truly do care about helping people out. Wealthy Affiliate is not a scam!

And secondly, people think that success is not possible for them. If this was the case, neither of us (Kyle & Carson), would have been successful. We really are no different than you other than we have figured out how to create a profitable business online (for ourselves) rather than making a corporation rich as employees.

We are here to set you down the same path that we have laid for ourselves.

Ready?

Obviously some of your questions have been unanswered about Wealthy Affiliate. For this reason we are going to get straight into the “nitty gritty” details of Internet marketing and tell you exactly what the Wealthy Affiliate community is all about and ultimately how it can benefit you.

Hey,

Just wanted to drop you a quick note and let you know about a free guide that Kyle and Carson created in late 2008 for the launch of NicheQ, a revolutionary “niche” marketing system that is part of WA!

You are not required to buy anything, do any work for anyone, or fill out any forms. This is a gift to you! This book is 30 pages in length, loaded with JUICY content, and will help anyone find a profitable niche online!

Here is a list of the sections within Niche Feast:

(1) Introduction to “niches”
(2) Where you can find 590,000 Niches
(3) The One Minute Niche Test
(4) How to Rip-Off Niches From Your Competition
(5) Why You Shouldn’t Hate Microsoft (for niches)
(6) How to Follow Daily and Yearly Trends
(7) Snap, Crackle, Pop…Magically Nichelicious!
(8) Using a Shopping Mall to Find Niches?
(9) The World’s Most Amazing Keyword Tool

You have probably never seen most of these niche “hunting” strategies because they are not your typical methods of finding niches, but they are amazingly powerful. No need to thank anyone for this either, please just take this as a gift and use these methods in your niche research.

Have a wonderful day and I hope this info really helps you out!

Cheers,

Fred.

If you think about it, you have relationships all around you.

I mean, every contact you have during the day is a potential relationship…not necessarily a Valentine’s Day love, but someone you can respect.  The key to success in life and online is taking hold of all the relationship opportunities and making the most of them.

If this is not making sense, then let me tell you a little story about how Kyle and Carson market online.

Have you ever heard of the term “building a list”?  If you haven’t, this is essentially building a list of prospective clients (like the email lists you are probably on right now).  This is one of the most powerful forms of marketing online and it all comes down to building relationships.

You see, if I don’t make a blog post to you every week and offer you some form of value…or as we like to call it, relationship building material, you are going to dump me as a friend.  That would hurt.  That is why I want to continue giving to you.  Giving you information about how you can start or improve your business online.

You follow?

Great!  The better you become at creating these relationships, naturally the more money you will make.  OR in other words, the more value you offer your friends the more they respect you in return.

In order to build a relationship with someone online you need to GIVE first, GIVE second, and maybe GIVE a third fourth and fifth time in order to ever see anything in return.  It is hard for people to trust someone that they do not know.

The same as meeting someone at the bus stop…if they ask for a quarter you are likely to say no.  If they help you read your map, recommend a few restaurants, and pick up your wallet for you that you dropped, you would be more than happy to flip this person a quarter.

That is because they have unassumingly built a relationship with you.  Not quite slight of hand, but in order to move a complete stranger to this TRUST zone you need to give…and likely more than once.

That is the first phase.  A little bit of trust will get a little…a quarter in this case.

Now what if this same person asked you for 5 bucks?

You would tell them to fly a kite!  A quarter was a small price to pay for the small relationship you had built.

In order for someone to get that five bucks off of you, they would need to give a bit more than directions and a restaurant recommendation…but what exactly would it take?

Think about this for a second…

This person would likely have to be a friend.  Maybe someone you had gone out to coffee (and maybe they even bought).  You would need to trust someone enough with your FIVE bucks to know that it would come around.

Now what if they asked to borrow your car?

You see, in order to receive big and better things in an environment (online or offline), you need to GIVE more and more.  The more you give, the more you can expect to receive.

This is truly a lesson in online marketing.  The more you GIVE, the greater the success.  Going against what many people believe (and in many cases, they have reason to), Internet marketing is not about scamming people.  It is not about lying to people to get their money.  It is not about expecting something for nothing.

It is all about building relationships.

The more credible, giving, and valuable you make your online experience the better the relationship becomes.

If I sent you $1,000 right now you would think I am pretty cool.  I would go as far as saying that you would consider me your good bud!

However, instead of money today I am giving you a lesson that will make you a lot more than $1,000.  By understanding that marketing is not about selling as much as it is about building a relationship, you are well on your way to a successful future at this.

I don’t want anything from you, I just want you to take this knowledge and apply it.

As we say at Wealthy Affiliate, your success is our success.

Oh ya, before I leave you today…I want to take you on a bigger journey through “list building” or the newly derived word we came up with today for this, “relationship building”. 

A couple years back Carson and Kyle wrote a 100 page e-book on this topic, breaking it down into just about every way they could.  They tell people exactly how they succeed with this technique, and now they want to give it to you for nothing, (there is an itsy bitsy catch).

Get “Inside the List”, (the book), now for nothing when you sign up and join Wealthy Affiliate today!

Cheers,

Fred

(Editor’s Note: The following is an open letter from Kyle, one of the owners of The Wealthy Affiliate University).

Hey,

I have some bad news, and some good news for you!

First, I am going to start with the bad news…get it out of the way.

The PPC game has changed.  If you have been using Google Adwords over the past years or even months, you may have been hit by what we like to call the Google SLAP.  It is very tough to get websites with a high Quality Score into Google…especially if you are a “newer” marketer without account history.

You see, what Google is trying to do is improve the relevancy of paid search results, and in the process wiping out many marketers within their system.

I know I am probably speaking on behalf of many of you when I say this can be frustrating.  What is also happening is “quality” sites and historically great campaigns are getting hit.  New accounts are becoming tougher to even get your ads running! 

Adwords advertisers are sending “hate” mail to the Google support at a faster pace than ever!

I bet I know what you are thinking…

Where the heck is the good news Kyle?

Despite what I have said, there is some really GREAT news that comes from this.  If Google is dropping advertisers like flies from their system, it means that competition is also dropping like flies.

Many of the advertisers getting hit are what we refer to as “expensive competition”.  These are people that don’t know what they are doing and are willing to spend more money than they should on keywords.  These people lose money again and again as they don’t realize or understand the correct PPC practices (which we teach in great depth at Wealthy Affiliate).

Guess what less competition means?

Lower bid prices and less ad competition under ALL keywords. 

If you can follow Google’s Quality Score conventions to a “tee” (ads, ad groups, landing pages, website set-up, account, and more), then you can advertise under the Adwords network with the least competition I have ever seen.

Quote my words “I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS LITTLE COMPETITION IN GOOGLE ADWORDS”.

If you can apply yourself and do whatever it takes to get your campaigns running in Google, you are going to be presented with massive opportunity.  Now is the time if any to get started. 

Google tends to mix things up almost on a weekly basis, changing their algorithms to increase their search relevance, dropping off even more advertisers.  Either you can keep up, or lose out.

Why The Wealthy Affiliate University is the PLACE to be?

Wealthy Affiliate has advanced training in Google Adwords and we have an entire training category dedicated to Pay-Per-Click marketing…along with 7 other Internet Marketing categories.

If you have ever wanted to succeed online, we can help.  If you have ever had trouble with Google Adwords, we can help.  With over 400 training tutorials, videos & guides…and many added each week to stay current with Internet marketing trends, you will be able to leverage the training at WA to become a PPC expert.

Like I said, the competition has never been so sparse within Google.  Now is the time if any to get started…whether you are brand new or have been struggling within the Internet marketing world for years.

Get started at Wealthy Affiliate today!
