Have you ever imagined what life could be like if you didn’t have to work the 9 to 5 shift anymore? I have and I imagine spending more time with the kids, being able to take them to games and getting more quality sleep.
As an expecting mom, my biggest problem has always been the 6 weeks of maternity leave (not enough time). I have always worried about money during this time and then it hit me. With my fourth baby on the way, I began asking my self questions like “How can I earn income working from home?”, “Can I make as much as I currently make or more working from home?”.
To answer those questions, I began researching on the topic of working from home. Finding a legitimate work from home idea online was like looking for a needle in a hay stack. After searching for what seems like an eternity I finally stumble on a page about Wealthy Affiliates. Curious to know more, I visited the site and have not regretted my decision.
Unlike other programs out there, they didn’t pressure me to make fast decisions. The starter membership is free and the community is amazing. In a matter of days, I had learned so much and made so many friends in the community. I had also created a free site in less than a minute and began writing blog post. It was such an amazing experience that I have decided to share it with fellow parents looking for supplemental income.
So what is Wealthy Affiliate (WA) all about? ( Very glad you asked !).

What kind of online marketing method does WA teaches?
WA teaches it’s members a variety of marketing techniques but their focus is on affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing is the kind of marketing where you advertise someone’s product and get paid a certain percentage (commission) of the sale price of that product.
Lets say you advertise this product that is worth $500 and your commission is 5%, then every time some goes through your site and buys the product, you get paid $25. Now imagine that 10 people bought that product through your site then you get $ 250.
WA gives you all the tool necessary to make your business a success. Don’t stress anymore about your work shift or finding time to spend with your kids. Take the first step to financial independence!

Hi Miles,
Thanks for the advice. Good luck
Hi there! I really wanted to know how to earn online. I wanted to do this because of the freedom that you can have when you have built the foundation of your business. And besides, who wouldn’t want to stay at home and do your work at home right? So you have mentioned about wealthy affiliate. Is this program really legit? Can I actually earn in it?
Hi Rico,
Wealthy affiliate is one of a few legitimate programs. The key to success is to go through the lessons and work hard on your site. You also need to be patient because success doesn’t happen overnight.
Really easy to follow review! you’ve outlined the course well and your summary is really good. Maybe embed some links to the photos so we can go through to the course you are promoting. Cool site topic btw – my niece is fitness conscious and is about to have her 2nd baby – will forward the site to her too!
Hi Ilona,
Thanks for the advice. I’ll be working on incorporating those links. Thanks for sharing my site.
