Wealthy Affiliate Reviews

  • Dec 12, 2018

I signed up for a free account and training for web site design. I upgraded for one month at $19. I cancelled and they charged me $49 for the second month. They do not give you any way to contact them. They take your money and run. Fraud company.

Wealthy Affiliate a Fraud. Premium member who signed on for a year do has to beware if you have decided to terminate your contract after a year. By deactivating your account from automatic renewal, doesn't mean that your contract with them has stop. I did that and yet it got through and was billed by PayPal for that amount. Thinking that PayPal will rectify that...think again! My advise for u is to take a screenshot of that deactivation done by you on their site, should you decide to make a claim against them... By the way if you were to confront WA regarding the renewal payment, they will even block you from accessing from then on... You will then ended up not being able to access your account and having to pay for another year... That was what happened to me..! Former Wealthy Affiliate Member

They ripped me off by promising me it was free to sign up and to try their trial for only $19 premium membership. After that we didn't have to keep our premium membership. My membership was over & they are forcing me to pay $49/month for premium membership. I've paid for a domain for a year & no access to my domain. They are some big time scammers. When things are too good to be true. Rrrrruuuuunnnn! Away. They give you empty promises. No contact number. They didn't solve my problem after I told them I don't need membership for premium. Find these crooks. It was December 2017.

I asked WA not to renew my membership that was coming up on Nov. 29th. Instead they cancelled my membership on Nov.26 not allowing me to transfer my website. When I asked them why they cancelled my membership primaturely they replied that I can renew my subscription to get access. I still had 3 days left before my membership expired. These people are very unethical in the way they run their business. I would stay away from WA.

They have an annual retreat rewarding the member, who as an affiliate, is able to sign up a minimum of 100 mew members on a annual basis. With thousands of members they are only able to fill a large boardroom with qualifying members. Their success record is dismal to say the least.

Their reviews are another unethical practice that WA has become very good at exploiting. They knock SBI,MLM and anyone that will help the affiliatemake a sale. If you are looking to build a business on the internet it will not happen with WA.

After much research and assurances online, I decided to give Wealthy Affiliates a try. I'm disabled as was looking for a way to make money from home on my computer. I was assured all the way through the trial membership that I would have complete back-up when I needed help.

The training started out fine, but when I actually purchased a real website from them, their program just stopped working for me. I tried several times and in various ways to contact Kyle, but received no answer to any of my questions. There were several others who I also tried to ask for help. They only replies I get are pre-set messages to congratulate me for joining.

I also noticed that when I tried to join any conversation for help on any topic, my comments seemed to disappear after I posted them. I thought that was odd, since there were so many people commenting and helping each other. I guess that was all bogus, too.

I went so far through the training and went to move my site to the paid site and nothing happened. It just comes up with a message that it will take a few minutes to move my site and I will get an email when it actually takes place. It's been over 2 weeks and it still hasn't happened.

If Wealthy Affiliates isn't a scam, well it sure seems like it to me. I just want to warn other unsuspecting people to avoid them. There will be no website, you cannot make very much money from being an affiliate of any company. Their claims make no sense at all. If the companies they talk about pay out so much money, then how would the companies, themselves, make any profits. For example, one person claims to be an Amazon affiliate. All a visitor to his website has to do is click on a link he has posted on his site. Even if they don't buy anything, Amazon is now paying him $200 per month. That's insane.

If it's too good to be true, then it is. Beware!

While searching for a way to make money at home, I joined Wealthy Affiliate. FREE to start. Then there is a montly cost. Classes are hard to understand, answers to questions are answered from other members "opinions" No real Answers. I tried So hard to understand, but just went in circles.

When someone joined under me, I can NO Longer get into my site. There is NO Place where I could cancel My membership. I feel the only ones making any money with this are KYLE and JASOn. (If that is their real names.) This is A SCAM.

However, I was able to Block next months payment in pay pal

I read all their information and watched all 10 videos and read aot of reviews and I am looking for what they are selling but I'm totally turned off, not that they make their money by selling memberships but that they and anonymous others mistreat paying and non-paying customers when they don't like their questions. I saw that customers were told to re-watch the videos, even when they don't pertain, were blocked by the employees of Wealthy Affiliates, were shamef on complaont boards bu Wealthy Affiliates and anonymous persons (who curiously said exactly the same things).. like "you're too good to re-watch the lessons" "you already know everything so what's your problem?" You are getting this fre so what do you have to complain about?" And "You are too lazy to put in the time".. All in all, if no one can answer your question, you get abused. Not interested in Thos program even if they paid me.

Well apparently I have fallen for the get two web pages free and then premium membership for the 19.00 ploy. And I know now of two people who have tried canceling thier membership to this so called wealth promoting business.

I spoke with one last night who told me that when he goes to cancel his membership it just keeps sending him back to his home page there. I simply gave him the best advice. Call his financial instituion and have them blocked if they try the auto bill bull crap.

Yeah it looks all nice and cozy with W/A with all these poeple joining all the time. But the key thing to remember is this Folks. KYLE & CARSON are both computer network experts. They can build code that will generate all those nice pictures we see on google. And they can also develop fake user profiles too. THINK about it how many people have you seen in one day alone that join who are from some foriegn country I counted 10 a day folks wherew is this leading?

I will tell you where it is leading for them with me. A report to my financial institution too. Along with a nice fat blog on one of those free pages they offered me. With a link to this site on scams.

I have now been banned from chat for over a month. You have not responded to my e-mails for further details. I will not be renewing my membership and I find it unjust that you charged me full price for this month when I am still banned from chat. I am requesting a full refund and immediate cancellation of my membership. I am taking my clients and referrals with me and will make all of them 6 figures for 2016. I started ThriftyPinky.com yesterday and I already have 13 full-time active franchisees and all of them are doing Pinkilocks Professionals as well.

My current referrals/friends include Christopher Yohn, IveTriedThat, JohnCWS, PJLucas, JohnVB, BobTosh, Zoefke, TomTitty, simon1234bun, Ashiko, Tallton, and my other 250+ followers on your website. I will not refer any future business to you. In my humble opinion, you have treated me extremely unfairly and your business model is reprehensible. You are taking advantage of all your customers with your payment plan. I have found a website hosting company that pays $300 per referral - more than 13 times what you offer. Nearly every hosting company has a better compensation plan including Webs, BlueHost, HostGator, GoDaddy, and many, many more. I think you and your partner are selfish, unkind thieves, and I will tell all of my 4K Twitter followers such.

In addition, I am an online MBA student at St. Thomas University with a B.B.A. from USD and a M.Ed. from National University. I am a licensed CA Real Estate Broker, Real Estate Appraiser, High School English and Business Teacher, MSPA Gold Certified Mystery Shopper (10+ Years), Website and App Designer, Life and Business Coach, and small business owner of PinkilocksProfessionals.com, ThriftyPinky.com, JillianSorenson.com, and LearnMysteryShopping.com.

I would advise you to change your compensation plan to be competitive with that which can be found with a simple web search Otherwise, I predict your business will fold within 12 months or less.

With the hypnotic keywords words "wealthy", "work at home", "anyone willing to learn", and "2 free websites", and "free membership" you have to know people will go nuts to drink this modern naturally flavored and colored KOOL AID and never end up making anything near the money they paid in, if anything at all. The shameful data isn't revealed of course. Think...HORIZONTAL MLMs, social networking and what creates loneliness, and the Occupy the One Percent meme. And Blaming the Poor for Their Own Failure. Learn this essential web-building literacy on your own and make great sites for twenty odd bucks a year! It's really true, I found a plan 2 days ago and the site and support and learning is better than at WA. But I'll tell you:

A solid PERSONAL social support system is what will actually sustain you in these desperate times. Organize babysitting coops and peach canning coops and invite your friends in to rebuild cars...and together make a better world and make some money for your coop andyourself. Circumvent the one-percent mentality by throwing off this crafty VILE brainwashing because you MUST in order to retain any humanity and self respect in these absolutely desperate times. This article will disappear very soon but the guy from Arizona also saw through the WA SCAM and so two of us out in the world know about this.....so far. BEWARE of scams which seem too good to be true because they are.

What we ned to get rid of in this world are predatory corporations which trive on shady bookkeeping, funny money, and guaranteed army of desperate slave labor. WA meets all those criteria.

They claim to help you build and develop your very own online buisness from scratch, however they fail to mention if you don't buy their premium membership they take all work work and destoy it, remove from the servers never to be found again!

I began by looking into Wealthy Affiliate and they say you can remain a free member and host your own website, but being a free non premium member your site will always appear with the siterubix sub-domain. I was completely content with that and was even going to upgrade to the premium upon making some money from the niche website i had created, however this is was the case.

I took their bootcamp and created my website, putting in months worth of hours into cultivating my website. I poured hard work and dedication into creating orginal, helpful content ,starting affiliate partnerships and overall making an amazingly diverse website with truly unlimited potential. I really started to put my life into this and making it work. Also i was truly helping people with my website, which was more rewarding than ever. I fought off plagiarism of my articles i wrote. I was really starting to gain followers and were receiving numerous positive comments and reviews from individuals whom were greatful from the advice i was providing, was finally getting to be placed within the top three hits on numerous search engines and even getting offers from companies that wanted to partner with me for adspace and I thought WOW this is really going to work. Man was i so dead wrong.

Because I didn't go premium Wealthy Affiliate completely eliminated my website from their servers. They gave me no notice, they gave me no warning, not one single chance to save it, cause to be honest this had become my life at this point, to where i was so dedicated to becoming successful through affiliate marketing and was beginning to get my feet cemented and was getting noticed.They severed all my work, all my time, everything i had put into trying to become successful using the program. It was like a punch to the face when i went to log on and it was all gone, everything! I almosted fainted just from the shock of it all going to log into my website and looking back at me was this screen to begin making a website. Talk about disappointment and frustration. But i remained calm i thought this must be a mistake. They will fix it they have to. So I emailed them asking them what happened and to my utter surprise i never received any response. I thought maybe they are just looking into it, becauses there is no way they would do this to me. After about a week of of not hearing anything i wrote another email and again nothing. Another email and again nothing! So another just asking them to contact me in general and still nothing. To say the least i am at a loss of words and just don' know what to do. I finally decided its time to say something and see if anyone else would know what to do or even how to recover what i feel is a stolen website. I can't even begin to describe what this meant to me and how this has affected me just due to the fact of how much time i spent making this something special to me.
