Hi Future Online Earner!
If you are here that means that you are tired of scams, MLM’s, and low-quality products and you are looking for a legit way to make money online?!
You are in the right place!
Because this guide will show you how to FINALLY make money online with no experience, degrees, or spending thousands of dollars!
But before I start I want to mention that I'm not a "Guru" who is trying to sell you an overhyped expensive system or a get rich quick scheme or anything like that.
Put your wallet away!
I just want to show you simple to follow steps that thaught thousands of newbies (including myself) how to create a money-generating online business with no experience or degrees!
Before I start, Let me Introduce Myself 🙂
My name is Mariem and I'm a 21yo (ok almost 22) university drop out!
I was looking for a way to make money online for a long time and of course, I fell for scams, and low quality "make money online" programs that only wasted my time and worst... money,
Then, I tried to make money with an MLM company but I found myself only harassing my friends and family trying to sell them expensive products they didn't need.
So I stopped immediately and that was the first and last MLM I ever joined!
I also tried to do blogging on my own with no training or guidance but I only wasted my time.
But one day...
I found what I was looking for!
An amazing "all in one" community called Wealthy Affiliate that thaught me how to build, rank and earn from affiliate website (I will talk more about WA below)
But I Made a Mistake 🙁
I quit!
I had some personal problems going on, felt unmotivated....and I quit!
I was doing pretty well and I even started making money doing this (as you can see below), but stupid me I quit!
So my advice to you is that if you get inside this community and you feel like it's the right place for you!
Then please don't quit because if you do you'll have to start all over again!
More about me...
- I'm originally from a beautiful country called Morocco but I was born and raised in south Italy (Naples)
- I studied languages (English, French, Italian), And I also speak Arabic and a little bit of Spanish.
- I started this website when I was 20yo and my goal was and still to achieve success, financial freedom and help others do the same!
So, What Does Wealthy Affiliate Teach?
Wealthy Affiliate is a training program that will teach you how to build your own online business using the affiliate marketing business model.
But Wait... What is Affiliate Marketing?
Affiliate marketing simply means promoting other people's (or companies') products/services through affiliate links.
Whenever someone clicks on your so-called affiliate link and buys what you are promoting you earn a delicious commission!
Affiliate marketing is a very profitable online business!
And there are a lot of companies that will pay you to promote their affiliate programs including our favorite major ones like Amazon and eBay.

Did I forget to mention something? do you have a question or thoughts regarding Wealthy Affiliate?
Please feel free to drop a comment and I will be more than happy to reply:)
Mariem,
I too have been scammed before with opportunities in the past. One time I almost paid 17k with a real estate training that would have gone down the drain. I know the feeling!
I do like how thorough your website is and how you explain everything in detail with the opportunity you have available. All the pictures helped me a lot understand your opportunity.
I have a question, how much writing do I have to do with this platform? I don’t think of myself as the best writer which is why I am asking.
Thank you and blessings!
Hi Jesse, I’m glad to hear you did not waste 17k on that real estate training, that’s a lot of money! Regarding WA you don’t have to be a writer to succeed, I’m no writer as you can see my writing is not that good but still making regular income from my modest writing, WA is going to teach you how to do it basically. 🙂
I want to tell author – thank you very much for sharing this awesome information! I just finished reading this article and now I think that I want to try to join this WA community! Only yesterday I found another program “how to make money online”, but it costs more that 4000$ and I thought that is actually a lot of money…so I am really happy that I wasn’t in rush and didnt buy that program!!! So I am going to jump in very soon!!!
Hi Kate!
I’m glad to hear that you saved your 4000$ 🙂
WA is probably the only community that allows you to start your business online on a budget and the best part is that it allows you to try things out for free and you can stay as a free member as much as you want.
I hope you enjoy your self at WA and if you need any help please let me Know there 😀
Mariem,
Thanks to your detailed and smooth explanation of WA, I was able to grasp direct information. I myself was a newbie a few years back and didn’t have any clue on where to start. Truly, hard work will speak for itself in the end. Keep up the good work!
Thanks, I will 🙂
You know, I can’t tell you haw many times I have read through ads on the internet just to find out that they are all scams. Affiliate marketing is the way of the future, and after reading your webpage, I can see that I need to take it more seriously. Thank you for the in-depth look into the Wealthy Affiliate… I think I know what my next move will be.
Hi Clay! Wealthy Affiliate really has some decent training there’s a lot to learn there, thanks for stopping by and wish you the best,if you need any help you know where to find me 😉
HI Mary,
This is a great and honest account of Wealthy Affiliate. I like the way you start with your own story. Your story also shows that you will need to work hard to succeed, especially as you are still doing your university studies too.
A lot of people think Affiliate Marketing is a push button system where you can earn money overnight, I am glad you were able to show that it can be done – but also show it takes time and effort to do it!
Well Done
John
Thanks for commenting John 🙂
With an amazing place like WA I can’t imagine why someone would go anywhere else!
There are a tremendous amounts of scams out there and I am glad I have found WA before falling for one. People fail to realize that you don’t have to spend $100’s even $1,00’s to do this!
Thank you for sharing this and giving me better insight into WA!
Thanks,
Timm
I’m glad you found this helpful 🙂
Great post and good info!
Wealthy Affiliate is indeed the best platform you can find when it comes to making money online, and without risk to get scammed, like a lot of other ones do!
They promise a lot, and the only thing they do is taking money from you.
I will share this post, because people have to know this is the only one they should join, they can make real money by it, not so fast, but they can have a decent income by it.
Thanks for the informative post about WA; a platform truly designed for affiliate marketers of all levels! Just like you, I had tried several online programs that claimed to be creating money making opportunities but to no avail. I only discovered that most of them are nothing but scams and this led me being so skeptical even when I first stumbled at WA. So, I tried out WA after I had read series of reviews about it.
I kept seeing the WA community as the final bus-stop for whoever wants to build an online brand and become financially free in a lifetime. The platform is loaded with tools and resources for members to leverage at their disposal towards building authority in the online world. No credit card is required on registration and one can choose to run a blog on the free SiteRubix blogging platform

Hi Mary, I have been looking at affiliate marketing for a while and like you said there are a lot of “get rich quick”scams out there. Thank you for review of Wealthy Affiliate. This is one I have looked into and know is legitimate, but as you say it is not a get rich quick scheme. As with anything worthwhile, working hard and persevering is what brings success.
I wish you every success in your career Mary, all the best,
John.
Thank you for this wonderful post.I have been looking for a good platform to make money online but what i got was to be scammed by many programs pretend to help people make money online but when i tried it i got disappointed.
For my first time i got a real platform to make money online and for sure it is not a scam.That platform is Wealthy Affiliate.
I like your post a lot because anyone who read this post can understand how fantastic is WA.I am new affiliate member at WA but i started earning dollars which didn’t happen before with other programs.
I recommend people to join and make money through their hard work.
I’m glad you are doing well at Wealthy Affiliate 🙂
This is a great post and I totally agree with you. I have been with Wealthy Affiliate since 2015 and I totally love it. I have built two websites so far and am ranking on Google, Bing and Yahoo as a result of their awesome training. You follow the training, you will earn too. Thanks again for this great post.
That’s Awesome!!
When a 20 year old woman tells me she has been searching for years for a legit way to make money online it makes me smile. I’m a 46 year old who began getting scammed in my teens as I responded to newspaper scam ads way before the internet was an integral part of most people’s lives.
No scams systems such as this one have some key factors that are easy to see if you have been scammed for years. No constant up-sells. The fact that I can find your page means you implemented great SEO practices you learned through this platforms keyword research tool!
The biggest, super refreshing, factor is her claim that Wealthy Affiliate is NOT a magic system. You have to study, do your research, put in the hard work every week!
Mary, your soul shines through in your article! I’ve work with many people across several platforms where English is not their first language. They improve their skills everyday by meeting people like you and I that encourage them to keep doing the good work! I’ve also been blessed improving my skills in other languages by working with people all around the world.
Keep up the excellent, inspiring work!
this comment made my day 🙂
Hi! Yeah, being scammed is terrible! But we also have the tendency to overlook legit opportunities like Wealthy Affiliate, because they don’t promise over night riches. I have read a couple of reviews about Wealthy Affiliate, and they all from the very beginning explains that building a successful site requires hard work, and a lot of people are discouraged when they hear those words. That may be the reason scams are so popular in the first place.
It’s so cool that we can still earn revenue online even though English is not our first language. It’s not mine either! Thank you very much for this post!
thanks for commenting Henry!
haha, I hate when that happens!
Thank you for reading and commenting 🙂
