Here’s a list of tools that comes with the Wealthy Affiliate membership. There is even more once you sign up, but these should get the juices flowing nicely.

WEALTHY AFFILIATE FORUM

From all the tools and resources that the Wealthy Affiliate University has to offer, this is definitely the crown jewel. Just by itself, the WA Forum is worth your subscription!

You can liken the WA Forum as “the heart and soul” of Wealthy Affiliate.

If you’ve been following some of the internet trends very closely, you will notice that popular word, “Web 2.0″. But you know what’s funny about it? All this time the forums have been the essence of what this new trend refers to.

Web 2.0 refers to sites that can actively share information, enhance creativity, and of course, encourage the collaboration among users.

The WA Forum is all that and much more.

Now you probably know some online forums and are most likely a part of some. I would like to believe that the ones where you are an active member of provide you with good information and have a high member activity day in and day out. The WA Forum possesses those same qualities as well and takes it to the next level.

Do you know of any forum that literally pays you for answering questions or simply asking them? By experience, I don’t know of any, except for the one managed by Wealthy Affiliate.

The reason why I consider the WA Forum as the crown jewel is because of the wealth of highly relevant and up-to-date information that you can have access to anytime you want.

Want to know about the latest additions and updates to the Wealthy Affiliate? It’s right there. Want to read other members’ success stories (from their first $100/day sale to their first $1,000+/day sale) and gain inspiration and useful tips in the process? You can find that in another section. Looking for cool ideas to give away as bonuses? Look no further as the forum is the only place you would ever need to be.

There is a section in WA Forum called “General Marketing” which is the place where you can ask ANY question or concern related to internet marketing. And believe it or not, some of those questions become a real case study within the whole community.

It may be intimidating to ask questions at first (in some forums, they just ignore you – especially if you’re not part of “them”), but at this forum … relax and don’t stress yourself. Whoever posts a question usually gets an answer 99% of the time.

And if you happen to belong to that 1%? You can always send Kyle and Carson a private message and they will be glad to respond to your concern.

Yes, you got that right. The owners of the Wealthy Affiliate University themselves do respond to your individual queries! Talk about 1-on-1 email support from the top!

But by and large, the WA Forum alone is enough to satisfy all your queries.

Let me stress that there is definitely a trade-off between becoming a part of a free community or getting into a paid membership forum. The obvious advantages of the latter is you are able to get all the information (the information you want) in one place, no one will ignore your posts as if you lived in a different planet, and one more thing is you will gain access to what is known as “gem threads” which give more valuable information than a lot of ebooks that you could buy online.
 

SITE RUBIX

If you have done your diligent research, you will know that it is possible to make a living online without having to spend a lot on advertising costs, and even without creating a website with all of that HTML and techie stuff.

In fact, the thought of just building a web site is what keeps most people scared from trying to enter the world of internet marketing.

No need to fear though as you can easily take advantage of many free sites and blogs, which by themselves alone have already a high page rank in the search engine’s eyes.

But now that you know the truth – that you can make money online without putting up your own website, let me take that one step further.

Smart marketers know that if they want to consistently grow their campaigns and take their online business to the next level, then they would definitely need to build their own website – for the important reason of having more control and flexibility.

So is it really hard then to put up one’s own website?

Not with Site Rubix.

Long gone are the days when you would need to go all about the technical information and know-how on building websites. Building one with Site Rubix is as simple as typing a document and adding pictures to it.

In fact, if you know how to use basic Microsoft Word, then you won’t be having a hard time going through Site Rubix. There’s no need to know any of that HTML from A to Z just to be successful in putting up a site.

Features such as WYSIWYG Text Editing (What You See Is What You Get), drag and drop functionality, simple page layout insertion, and the ability to take instant screenshots of any website, and many more are presented in a way that is easy to understand … all it takes is for you to give it a little bit of your time, effort and confidence.

And for those savvy marketers out there, Site Rubix is a tool that you would definitely want to get your hands on, as it relieves you from the pain of coding pages, template creation, changing images, and structuring of the menu. It certainly saves you from a lot of headaches and frustration that other internet marketers get!

All of these translate to less time and effort in putting up your website, which in turn results in more time focusing on other areas to grow your online business.

The opportunity to create professional looking sites is possible with Site Rubix, in fact one can come up with huge sites in just a short amount of time! There is no more need for you to outsource your web development work every time you have a new project or campaign at hand.

If people are making lots of money online from ugly looking websites, think about what you can achieve if you have a professional one. With Site Rubix, you’re one step closer to making a fortune.

RAPID WRITER

If you aren’t aware of it yet, you will find that article writing is one of the heavy tasks of internet marketers. It’s needed in order to get some good content on your website or blogs, build a steady flow of targeted traffic to your site, build quality backlinks and many others.

Article writing simply cannot be ignored, but it doesn’t mean that you have to go back to college to further up your skills and polish up on your english grammar, sentence constructions and so forth. You can actually do that.

Or take advantage of Rapid Writer.

Rapid Writer is one of the “killer tools” in the Wealthy Affiliate University. It comes free along with your monthly membership, and is the perfect arsenal that can give a boost to your article marketing campaigns, among many others.

After all, let’s face it. Writing articles over and over (and over) again can be a long and tedious process. This can easily send shivers to your spine if you think about the amount of work you have to do, especially if you are a novice to internet marketing.

However, with Rapid Writer easily tucked into your sleeve, you can kiss goodbye all the ton of legwork you would have to face, if you were without this tool, available only at Wealthy Affiliate.

Don’t know what to write about? Not to worry as Rapid Writer has a big database of articles ready for you to use and custom fit to meet your needs. There are a lot of categories to choose from as new articles are added every month. And yes, you can always edit them the way you want so it would better suit your needs.

For the savvy internet marketers out there, this tool can also give you up front important article statistics such as the density of your chosen keyword. Want to change certain keywords in your article and replace them with a different one? Rapid Writer makes this rapidly possible. From this feature alone, you can actually get a new article to use for your campaign in a matter of minutes!

And if that isn’t enough, Rapid Writer can even help you decide if you should write an article on a particular topic and the chances of you performing well with the search engines.

So if you’re leaning towards doubling your income with article marketing, desiring maximum profits and having zero expenses, or wanting to know the success probability of your article marketing campaign, Rapid Writer is the fitting solution.

NICHEQ

By definition and in relation to internet marketing, a niche is a targeted area of one market on which a specific product is focusing on. The beauty of having an online business is there are literally thousands of niches (and tens of thousands of sub-niches) that you can capitalize on and earn a sustainable income year after year.

The fact that the niches are there and waiting for you and me cannot be contested. The problem lies in the process of successfully making money from your chosen niche. As Kyle and Carson, co-owners of Wealthy Affiliate said, “it has never been about the niche – it’s how well you understand that niche”.

This is the reason for NicheQ.

Most often, the difference between a successful marketing campaign from one that is not, is calculated research. And I’m not talking about plain research that involves search engines such as google and yahoo. To do in-depth research on a specific niche requires a considerable amount of time.

Do you want a figure? 300+ hours. That is how long it would take for you to make sure all angles are considered on the market you have chosen and whether or not diving in that niche would consistently make you lots of money. If you have that spare time, then by all means maybe you do not need NicheQ.

Then again, maybe you do.

Every month, for as long as you are a member in Wealthy Affiliate, you will be given access to one niche and a comprehensive report that will give you an overview on how to promote products in that specific industry.

Now, this next statement might seem unreal for you at first, but believe me – when you see the potential that each niche has, the opportunity to make $100,000 – $500,000 in one year on that one niche alone is achievable.

Because remember, these niches are the results of in-depth research and expertise.

NicheQ eliminates all the guesswork out of your campaign and gives you a complete GO signal to dive in head first, without a worry or a care!

And you’re well-supported once you start off on that niche. You get 25 PLR articles to fill your website content and start driving traffic to your site. You also gain access to a set of researched keywords you can use and fit into your articles.

Thinking of starting an email marketing campaign but don’t have any idea about the content? NicheQ will provide you with prewritten emails you can use right now and along with that, PLR guides which you can use as an incentive to capture people’s email. You can also give it away as a bonus for people who buy from your link.

Setting up a complete website and a profitable campaign has never been this simple – with NicheQ.

WEALTHY AFFILIATE HOSTING

Where do internet marketers usually go to host their websites for their own campaigns?

If you have some experience on this, you’re most likely to answer me with any one of the top hosting sites you know, and probably are paying for on a monthly basis.

All you need to know is whether you are a complete novice to all of this, an intermediate learner or a seasoned veteran, you can get your own hosting at the Wealthy Affiliate University. It’s free, and all it takes is to be a member and to stay a member.

WA Hosting has web servers that are a good match to many of the leading servers available, and if you are familiar with the award winning plesk interface, you will be able to manage your hosting through it and have complete control on important things such as the amount of web space to use, your domains names, email accounts and many more.

You are allowed to host 3 external domains and 30 subdomains from your WA hosting account. Pretty cool ain’t it? Not only that but to those who are knowledgeable about this stuff, your personal account includes 600 MB (megabytes) of webspace and up to 120,000 MB of bandwidth. You couldn’t get a better deal out of this if you compare it to the cost of your monthly membership.

You’re also given access to 15 email accounts and a corresponding mailbox space of 600 MB.

There are actually other good features than the ones that I have mentioned, but what this basically does for you is it simplifies a majority of your hosting work into an all-in-one place at the Wealthy Affiliate University. You can even build a site (using Site Rubix, another cool tool in WA) and host it in a matter of minutes.

Alright, alright. If you’re new to this, you’re probably suffering from information overload already from the last few paragraphs talking about all that WA hosting can do for you. No worries, as included as well are available tutorials that you can take the time to study and learn. And again, not to worry as they are presented in a way that will guide you step-by-step, depending on your pace.

Need to know how to purchase a domain name or how does it work with the plesk interface? Or do you want to learn how to create a webspace or a database for a subdomain?

There are tutorials and videos in the WA hosting section all waiting for you to sit down, sip a cup of coffee, flex those muscles and go over those materials one by one.

WEALTHY AFFILIATE KEYWORD TOOL

Keyword research is an essential part of internet marketing. In fact, it is so important that without it, you’re better of heading towards the casino and gambling all night long as there would be no difference. You’d just be losing a lot of your money or time (which could have been spent better in making money).

This is where keyword tools come in handy. They go through the major search engines and scout ahead for data from past searches that were performed. You can get a lot of relevant information from a keyword tool and turn that into a successful marketing campaign.

There are a number of merchants who are selling keyword tools anywhere between $30 to $100+ but you can actually get a resource like this for free along with your membership in the Wealthy Affiliate University.

You can immediately use the WA Keyword Tool to research as many keywords and niches as you want, and come up with a list of high converting keywords. Locating these top searched and relevant keywords is important because they will have an impact on the amount of money that you can get from your campaign.

Now, it is interesting to note that the WA Keyword Tool is specific to Google, which is currently the largest and most used search engine in the internet. Kyle and Carson, co-owners of Wealthy Affiliate, made sure that aside from getting you searches for keywords that you choose, this tool will give you keywords that Google determines relevant to your initial search. The advantage of this is you get to find niche keywords that you thought didn’t exist in the first place!

Wanting for more targeted data? The WA Keyword Tool can also tell how popular a certain keyword is from the volume of advertisers (people paying for that keyword) promoting it.

Also, it shows how many web pages are indexed in Google for that specific keyword. This helps you a lot particularly if you are planning to write an article on that keyword, as low results means that your article has a high chance of getting listed on the top position!

Not satisfied with the results you’re getting? From the list you got you can use the “dig” function in order to go deeper and increase the chances of finding your keyword/s that meet your criteria.

The WA Keyword Tool can also determine the number of times your keyword is searched for within the Google network, so you can decide if you want to go ahead and use it or consider other better alternatives.

MY LINKER

Starting out on an internet marketing campaign, or in the middle of one right now? Chances are, you’ve carefully done your due diligence and made sure that you will be profiting well from it.

Or have you?

If you already have a basic knowledge on affiliate marketing, are you consistently aware which keywords are making you money from those that are just wasting your time (and probably adding to your expense)? Obviously, your visitors and even customers won’t tell you this, unless you use a set of tools that can give you this important data at your command.

One such tool that can help you along that line is My-Linker.

My-Linker is one of the things you get along with your membership to the Wealthy Affiliate University. By itself, it is already a powerful tool, but if used alongside WA’s research tools, it enables you to make the most out of each and every campaign in your hands.

My-Linker is your buddy when it comes to building, managing and maximizing the most profits you can get from all your campaigns.

Ever seen an “ugly looking link”?

If you’re familiar with affiliate links (e.g. Clickbank), you might be well aware of this. You can take advantage of the link cloaking capability of My-Linker to give your affiliate link a boost in its professional look. Take for example these two links. If you were a customer, ask yourself: Which link is much pleasing to my own eyes and I am most likely to click through?

http://www.my-linker.com/hop/osp

See the big difference this little tool can make?

But it doesn’t end just there. Because of the link you generated, My-Linker can track down the number of traffic you are sending to your merchant pages, and as a result, determine which links are highly productive (and generate sales), which ones are performing at an average rate, and those that you are better off replacing with better ones or pulling them out altogether.

The My-Linker dashboard is also responsible for keeping you organized in all the campaigns that you are managing. It shows an active display of your top campaigns and the number of corresponding clicks it has received up-to-date. It shows you as well your top performing links (based on clicks) and gives a regularly updated graphic description for each link.

And you can have as many campaigns and as many links as you want to use.

In essence, My-Linker helps you make better and well-informed decisions for all your marketing campaigns.

WEALTHY AFFILIATE SHARE ZONE

Wealthy Affiliate has a lot of training resources alone from its two owners, Kyle and Carson. Just gaining access to all of that material is a goldmine for internet marketers. However, these two guys have decided to take it one step further, and in the process have created what is called the WA Share Zone.

Now the share zone is also composed of tutorial resources.

But the big difference is, instead of getting tutorials from Kyle and Carson, you are able to get tutorials from anyone within the Wealthy Affiliate community. Now from this concept, stop and think for awhile about what you can benefit from this alone.

We’re talking about like-minded people who are either interested in making money online or are passionate and have achieved success in the arena of internet marketing – sharing all that they have learned to you for free! So whatever level you are on, you will most likely get information that is helpful to your current situation.

The tutorials range from guides, to ebooks, to videos and other resources that these people know would greatly benefit the community. If you are a new member, you will be able to know secret techniques that the “outside world” doesn’t know about, which you can immediately use in your campaigns!

It’s also the place where you get to know some of the basics of any aspect of internet marketing. The difference the share zone has from the regular tutorials by Kyle and Carson is that these basics are shared from different angles coming from various internet marketers worldwide. Who knows, you might just get to know and use one that fits you perfectly!

In return, the authors of these resources can either receive money, gain recognition or simply get free advertisement on their skills and expertise in the process! It’s a win-win situation!

And by the way, even if you are new to the Wealthy Affiliate community but you know that you can contribute something for the benefit of all, you are much welcome to do so. In fact, it’s easy to create your own resource, and making it live for everyone to see will only take less than a minute. You get to choose as well if you want your tutorial to be in the standard form, PDF version, or video.

Maybe you’re that seasoned veteran marketer who’s planning to launch an ebook soon. Why not perform a beta test on one chapter and see how your readers respond to it? Or try sharing one powerful technique and see what kind of feedback you get from your co- Wealthy Affiliate members?

WEALTHY AFFILIATE JOBS

One of the biggest concerns about joining the Wealthy Affiliate University is the cost of the monthly membership. While others may seem to laugh at the price, the reality is, not all people are willing to let go of their hard-earned money without the assurance that they can be able to recover it, or better yet profit from it.

Then there also exists the problem of most internet marketers who may have the money to afford their membership, but are just too tied up with lots of legwork such as writing articles, researching good keywords, submitting to article directories and social sites, etc. This often stops them from pursuing better and more profitable things because finding trustworthy and competent individuals online is nowadays hard to find, and would always be risky at the start.

Thankfully, there’s WA Jobs.

WA Jobs is a hidden gem for most Wealthy Affiliates as it serves as the place where you can either look for a job that matches your skills. For other people, they can look for ways to outsource all of that work that is taking too much of their precious time – which could be spent doing something more productive.

If one of your conditions before joining the Wealthy Affiliate University is you need to be sure that you can cover your monthly subscription, then consider this the answer to your prayers!

Now the type of work that can be found in WA Jobs varies as far as Internet Marketing is concerned. So if you’re good at let’s say, writing … you can browse through the job section, look for those projects which you think you are capable of doing and make a bid.

If you win that bid, you get the job! That simple.

And not only that, but if that person who hired you likes your work, you can expect to be hired again and again by that person which will only equate to more income for you in the process!

Aside from browsing through the job section, you can also post your service for other members to see what you are good at, along with the price that you are offering in exchange for your expertise (such as proofreading, editing, advertising, graphics, article submission, video making, etc!)

Imagine the possibilities for both parties. People with the money can get their work done faster and more efficient, while people with the time will not only get to cover their WA subscription, but even have pocket money which they can use to invest in their campaigns, or … even make a living out of it!

I even know of some individuals who resigned from their traditional jobs and got compensated the same amount of money they are earning here at WA Jobs. The big difference is, they get to work from home and at the same time, are learning how to set up their own internet marketing business.

WEALTHY AFFILIATE SPACES

Anybody here heard of Facebook, MySpace and LinkedIn?

I’m assuming that not just everybody who uses a PC with internet marketing access knows any of the sites I just mentioned, but is also an active user. Social networking has become popular and is the craze nowadays, and from the way this medium has been growing, it will only get better and better.

Such is the case of WA Spaces.

In a nutshell, you will find that social sites are way cool because they allow you to connect with other people from virtually anywhere in the world. Whether it be your old friends, classmates from high school, or family and relatives who live in remote places of the globe, these sites focus on bridging the gap by way of being able to share pictures, videos, thoughts and other personal stuff.

There are even social networking sites that are composed of professionals and entrepreneurs who want to exchange their own business ideas and probably in the process, form joint ventures and other things that would enable them to make more money.

WA Spaces operates basically in the same way and is a custom fit for the internet marketer. While its main goal is not to teach you how to make money online like the other Wealthy Affiliate tools, it is still a powerful tool as any tutorial out there – if you know how to use it to your advantage.

I am sure you are familiar of the saying, “success breeds success”. Well, WA Spaces is the best place for you to meet success.

Just like any other social networking site, you have access to your own network of members and get to see what each “buddy” of yours has been doing as of late. Since you got your own space, you’re free to share your own hobbies, passions, past times and pretty much anything that you feel the rest of the community should know about yourself.

Tired and wasted from your day’s efforts? Or jumping for joy on the very first sale that you made? Why not post your internet marketing journey in your personal blog?

There are members who also highlight their own skills. Simply doing this can open doors of opportunity and can result in future business partnerships.

With the possibility of working with other like-minded people and virtually talk, eat, and breathe internet marketing, success has never been this achievable!
