The Wealthy Affiliate University was created in 2005 by college friends Kyle and Carson who have become well known Internet marketers between 2003 and 2005. WAU is an Internet marketing training program that believes it has an "easy-to-follow training program to help you succeed online." The only question now is can it...let us take a look at this training program.

The Wealthy Affiliate University is an Internet marketing training program that has been in the business of training individuals to succeed with specifically Internet affiliate marketing since 2005. Internet affiliate marketing is based around creating a relationship with companies and providing advertisement of their products through blogs and websites that you create and from that earn a commission on each sale whether it is an actual product or service. Simple as this may seem, the cold hard fact with any marketing online one needs to know is that 97% of individuals fail and usually due to poor training, poor mentoring and lack of due diligence before joining.

Training with WAU will take the individual through Article marketing, pay per click, e-mail marketing, researching niches', website development and SEO (search engine optimization) tactics. This is however only a small handful of the many ways to market online, but these are proven platforms from which to start. The trainings that are available are updated from time to time which will be a must with the ever changing Internet and the search engines continually changing how they catalog information. The monthly cost of this training program is $39 dollars a month, and although this does sound like a great deal, but remember that the trainings are limited to only a handful of different training platforms.

There is an earn as you learn opportunity to the program based on sharing information with others in the programs forum which teaches how to literally outsource for compensation to other Internet marketers online through such things as writing articles, video marketing and even social bookmarking to name a few. For the most part many of the trainings will be done through written text unlike other major training programs online where training's are not only live, but for the most part done through prerecorded video and audio tutorials. Many programs also offer at least some live support whereas WAU offers no live phone support at all.

In review, those of us who have found not just massive success, but even some success with marketing online, we understand that this was all hinged on a complete and ongoing training program. Wealthy Affiliate University although a good way to begin learning how to market online through affiliate marketing lacks complete training in what is most important...branding the individual through the countless ways in which to market online. It is a true saying that "you get what you pay for" and this is no different online. It is best to do your complete due diligence before joining any Internet marketing training program online.
