Wealthy Affiliate is an affiliate marketing training platform that specializes in helping complete beginners to start an online business and become successful.

However, you will also find experienced marketers joining for guidance to take their own business to the next level.

Coming from many years as a freelance software developer I can see just what has gone into this system.

Something that you rarely see in other systems is the owners are always active in the community and prepared to offer their guidance.

They are very approachable and if you can’t find the answer to your question then they are only too happy to help.

Help, Support and the Community at Wealthy Affiliate  

We mentioned earlier that help and support is probably the key element when evaluating any software and without this then progression is almost impossible.

We see it so often in so-called training platforms, where you have a problem, however trivial it may be, and you have to create a support ticket.

Then it can often take days, even weeks for a response which is simply not acceptable.

At Wealthy Affiliate, there is none of the waiting about and you’ll have your answer pretty much instantaneously which is what you are looking for.

Otherwise, frustration sets in because normally you can’t move forward and you end up leaving.

So let’s take a look at the various ways you can get help and support at Wealthy Affiliate…

   2. Classrooms
   3. Help bar in the centre at the top of the screen
   4. Within the comments area of any training
   5. On anybody’s profile page
   6. Send a private message

This is the quickest way to get an answer to a question providing there is someone on the live chat.

Obviously, it will depend on what time of the day and location you are in but for the most part there is normally someone there.

Anybody can answer questions in live chat and it is encouraged for members to help out.

This is normally where you will find experienced members helping out.

Classrooms

We briefly covered the 13 classrooms that you can benefit from.

A great place to find a specific topic that you are interested in and to discuss your interests amongst the members, but check out the information first because the answer might already be there.

Another great place to expand your knowledge.

Help bar in the centre at the top of the screen

On anybody’s profile page

Just search for the member you want to engage with and by clicking on his/her profile you are able to ask your question either within the profile area where others can see.

Or, you could send them a private message for their eyes only.

Create a ticket for website issues

Any issue you have regarding your website then just create a ticket with a brief description and the technical guys are on it straight away.

Expect a response from them within a few minutes and no matter what the issue is they will get to the bottom of it.

The community

This is what sets Wealthy Affiliate apart from all the other training platforms.

Probably the largest internet marketing community in the world.
