The Wealthy Affiliate Certification Courses

There are so many classrooms and training modules to choose from. But to get started you’d need to begin with the Certification Courses. The certification courses at Wealthy Affiliate consists of 5 levels and each level consists of 10 classes. That makes a total of 50 classes with 172 practical tasks as you progress through the training.  There’s a monitor that tracks your progress. Once completed you get a special permanent sticker / certificate that tells the rest of the community that you have successfully completed the program.  This remains on your profile for the duration of your account. You can complete the certification courses at your own pace. Finish in five days or five weeks or five months. It’s all up to you. What I found useful about the certification courses is that it is very practical. You’re learning and building your business at the same time. They tell you do this or do that and before you know it your online business is up and running in no time. It’s that simple.  I thought building an online business would be challenging. What do I know about website development. But with the training it was so easy that even I was surprised, and that does not happen very often.

The five levels of the certification program cover a number of areas as follows:

Level 1 – Getting Started.

As the name suggests, these ten courses are the basics that any beginner internet marketer needs to know, including understanding the basics of making money online, how to choose a niche based on your interests and hobbies, how to build and set up your website, how to optimize your website for seach engines like Google, how to use keywords to build quality content, just to name a few.  The Getting Started Course (Level 1) is your first step in unleashing your inner entrepreneur and setting you on the right path to becoming a successful online business owner.  This level gives you an introduction and general overview of online marketing and how to set up an online business.  And the super part is that this level is completely free.

Apart from the general introductions and understanding of the basics of online marketing and building an online business, the most important area covered in this level is identifying and selecting a relevant niche for your business. As you know, there are so many opportunities, products, services, and customers to choose from. However, you can’t sell everything to everyone. You need to find your niche and Level 1 will help you with that.

Level 2 – Building Your Own Traffic-Producing Website.

Level 2 of the Certification Courses gives the beginner internet marketer the ins and outs of driving traffic to a website. Let’s face it, the main objective of having an online business or engaging in online marketing is to get people to buy your product or service, in other words, to make money. However, in order to make money you need real people with real buying potential. But building a website won’t automatically bring people (traffic) to your website. Building a website and expecting people to automatically visit your site is like building a shopping mall in the middle of the Sahara Desert and expecting people to visit every day. You need to create the right strategies and techniques, using the right tools to get high volumes of visitors to your website and the Level 2 classes will definitely help. It does not happen overnight. You need time and practice. So patience is key.

Add to the mix, the powerful search engines. These search engines, particularly Google which accounts for two-thirds of online searches, utilize stringent algorithms (special software and programming) to control how people find your business online. Search is built around keywords and content. This online course for beginners will help you navigate the complex rules that are imposed by search engines and will help you figure out how to get ranked on search engines.

I thought I’d never be able to get my website optimized to be easily found on Google. But alas, with the training that Wealthy Affiliate provided, I can say that it was much easier than I expected. Once I did exactly as I was instructed, getting found on Google became a reality. It was a gradual process, not something that happened overnight. But is was a sure process that yielded positive results in the end and still continues to do so today.  Not I’m working on my third online business and it’s really rewarding (and I’m not just talking about money).

The Leve 2 certification classes cover areas such as, developing your domain name or brand, selecting the right theme for your website, setting up your domain-specific email account, understanding website traffic, using visual content to make your website sexy and engaging, using WordPress to effectively and easily build your site, getting powerful low hanging fruit keywords, making your site personal and relatable, amplifying Google, and getting ranked high up in search results. Click here to get started at Wealthy Affiliate and join me and over 800,000 other like-minded entrepreneurs at the most powerful internet marketing training platform in the world.

Level 3 – Making Money.

Let’s be honest. The ultimate reason you want to develop a website or online business is to make money. Sure enough, you want to help others and contribute positively to the betterment of planet earth. But when all is said and done, making money is just as important as making a difference. But in order to make money you need to have traffic and to do this, you need to provide a genuine service or product that helps people. So you see, having philanthropic goals of helping others is not bad after all. If your focus is only about making money and not helping others then you will not reach your full potential as an online entrepreneur.

The Level 3 internet marketing training classes will help you effectively monetize your website. This level covers areas such as, the basics of making money online, the ins and outs of affiliate and network marketing programs and how to effectively use these programs, how to leverage product reviews, how to get paid through placing ads on your site, the difference between earning pennies and earning dollars, tracking your monetization progress and becoming a successful entrepreneur financially.  Click here to get started at Wealthy Affiliate and be one of many (including myself) who are successfully making money online.

Level 4 – Mastering Social Engagement.

No one can deny the importance of social media marketing. As of mid-2017, there were 2 billion Facebook users, 1.5 billion YouTube users, 700 million Instagram users and 328 million users on Twitter.  These staggering numbers cannot be ignored. To get people to know about your product, visit your website and ultimately make a purchase, you need to engage them where they spend most of their time and where the majority of the traffic is located.

As with any business, it’s all about location, location, location. So get with the program and start engaging social networks to grow you business. But there are lessons you need to know before you can just dive in. Level 4 of the Wealthy Affiliate online training program will take you inside the world of social media marketing and cover issues such as, the meaning of social engagement, using social media the right way, Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, Google Plus, developing social campaigns and how to be focused and targeted with social media marketing. It covers just about everything a beginner needs to know about social media marketing. So, join me on the inside and get started now.

Level 5 – Achieving Maximum Success Through Content Creation.

The success of your online business really boils down to one key ingredient – content. Content helps the search engines index you. High quality content helps you rank high in organic search results. Useful content makes your business relevant and attractive as it fills a need and contribute positively to enriching the lives of your visitors. While all of the other four levels are important, I strongly believe that this level which focuses on content is by far, the most important level of all. You cannot underestimate the power of quality content in driving the success of your online business. Level 5 covers a number of important areas that relate to content such as, Google webmaster tools, how to improve indexing times and speed, how to make your content engaging and interesting to your readers, how to plan and schedule your content creation for maximum success, how to write content to convert your reader into a buyer, how to leverage the power of comments, and how to optimize content for all search engines such as Yahoo and Bing. I learned a lot about writing great content and you can too. Just sign up and get started here.

After completing the Wealthy Affiliate Certification Courses, your business will be ready, up and running. Keep on growing with the many other classes, courses and community support. Get started now. The other classes and training programs are explained in the sections that follow.

Weekly Live Video Classes

In addition to the certification courses, there are other classes and learning opportunities for beginners as well as, seasoned online practitioners. All available at Wealthy Affiliate. One such learning opportunity is the weekly Live Video Classes. The videos are aired live each weak, usually on a Friday. So that’s 52 live webinars each year. Members can subscribe to watch and engage in the live videos at no charge. If you miss a Friday you can always watch it later at your convenience as the videos are saved for members to view at their leisure. There are hundreds of videos dating as far back as September 2012 (that’s five years of weekly videos. You do the math). Topics covered range from beginner issues such as starting a blog to advanced issues such as, understanding how to use HTML code. I have to admit, sometimes it feels like information overload but the good part i that I get to choose what I watch, how much I watch and when. So it’s entirely manageable.

Watch this step-by-step video on how to to promote your business with Youtube. Just a sample video for you to get a taste of what the live video classes entail. Click here or the image below.

Training Classrooms – The Open Education Project

At Wealthy Affiliate they encourage members to share their experiences and what they have learned with the rest of the community in the training classrooms. This form of sharing is called the Open Education Project.  Some of the best training is found in these training classrooms. You’d find seasoned veterans of online marketing and some of the top Wealthy Affiliate members and ambassadors creating free-to-view training. I find this to be very useful. First, as a user as I’ve learned so much, I can literally do a search for just about any topic and rest assured, it will be found in the training classrooms. This form of search is much more targeted than a generic Google search. Secondly, I find the open education to be useful as a contributor myself. Whenever I master a particular area I sometimes share it with the rest of the community. You see, at Wealthy Affiliate we help each other. It’s about community, collaboration and cooperation and not just competition. That’s one of the main things I just love about Wealthy Affiliate. What I discovered, is that the process of developing the training actually helps me to solidify and refine my own learning on the topic at hand. The best way to master something is to teach it. So, I encourage you to not only learn from the open education training classrooms at Wealthy Affiliate but to also become a contributor over time.  Only Premium Members can contribute.

Here’s a topic I shared with the community. It deals with how to learn from and monitor your competitors. Click on the image below to find out more about the tools and techniques required for competitor analysis.  This is a two part training series.

Affiliate Bootcamp

There’s a whole other world of training at Wealthy Affiliate called the Affiliate Bootcamp. As the name suggests, the training in this area focuses specifically on how to become a super affiliate marketer.  This area consists of seven (7) phases with a total of seventy (70) lessons and 230 practical tasks to carry out. It is a progressional learning system, where you only move forward after you have successfully completed each task requested in the lessons. Talk about learning and doing and growing and building your business all at once.

The Affiliate Bootcamp at WA has some overlap with the Certification Program but you get a different perspective plus there are additional topics covered here that are not covered in the Certification Program. Some of these courses include how to understand your markets and captivate them, understanding how to carry out Pay-Per-Click (PPC) advertising, leveraging sign-up forms and videos to get more referrals, leveraging landing pages to get more customers and so much more. Too many classes to get into here. But you can find out more about the Affiliate Bootcamp here.
