Last year I earned over $100,000 in affiliate commissions from a single affiliate program called Wealthy Affiliate (WA) which is an online business training program that teaches people to make money online.
20% of that ($20,000) came from high ticket commissions from the same program ($230-$320 per sale). You can see the stats of that report to the right and I’ll show you the specific high ticket sales I’ve made from the WA program shortly.
I’ll get into the details of WA’s affiliate program shortly but here’s why I consider it #1 in my book:
- It sells itself because it’s such a high quality offer
- It offers recurring commissions (not just one time)
- It has excellent reviews (4.9 out of 5 stars on Trustpilot)
- There are countless success stories (info below)
- It provides people with training to promote itself as well as many other affiliate offers (low-high ticket)
If you’ve been struggling with affiliate marketing and/or are looking for good high ticket offers to promote, I’m going to show you in this post why I’m such a big fan of the WA program to help you do just that:
To start I want to cover what the Wealthy Affiliate program is:
It’s a program that teaches people to make money online, but more specifically how to create online businesses on their passions and gives them tools, training and help to accomplish that.
While you can build an online business on any topic you want (I’ve made them on topics like outdoors, drones and other topics), you can also promote the WA program itself which I’ll cover in a moment.
There’s over 2.6 million members are tons of success stories of those who have followed the program’s training to build side-full time businesses online (promoting WA and/or making affiliate businesses promoting other offers).
When it comes to starting the program, there’s 3 memberships:
- Starter ($0)
- Premium ($49/month or $497 annually)
- Premium Plus ($99/month or $697 annually)
The WA affiliate program breakdown:
Here’s a summary of this:
- For each Starter referral (free member): $1 for each member who joins/completes their account set up.
- For each Premium upgrade: $20 the first month, then $23.50 for each month after ($235 if they go yearly)
- For each Premium Plus upgrade: $40 the first month, then $46.50 for each month after ($320 every year)
Note: You need to be a Premium/Premium Plus member in order to earn the full commissions listed above.
Note 2: The high ticket sales come from yearly upgrades but making monthly sales can also lead to a great recurring income as most members who upgrade stick around for 6 months or longer. Here are some of my recent results with high ticket sales from promoting WA:
How much can you earn promoting Wealthy Affiliate?
- 10 Premium sales (monthly): $200 first month, then $223.50/recurring
- 10 Premium Plus sales (monthly): $400 first month, then $465/recurring
If you can make 10 sales, you can go further. Let’s go with 100:
- 100 Premium sales: $2,000 first month and $2,350 every month after
- 100 Premium Plus sales: $4,000 first month and $4650 every month after
Don’t forget that people can also go yearly (annual) in WA and that’s when the big ticket commissions roll in:
- 100 Premium (yearly upgrades): $23,000/recurring
- 100 Premium Plus (yearly upgrades): $46,500/recurring
The following are general numbers but they all based on real experiences. I’ve referred 10,000s of people into the WA program and made 1,000s of sales of the years. Many of these members became Premium/Premium Plus member and stuck around anywhere from 1 month to years and to this day earn me commissions. You can get started as a WA affiliate and get free training here when you join (It’s free to start).
Other benefits about the WA affiliate program:
- Sales are recurring (every month/year, not just one time)
- WA’s funnel system does most of the selling for you (that’s how I got most of my yearly sales)
- The program is free to join which helps people get comfortable with the program
- The training inside WA can be used to promote any affiliate product you want (you don’t just have to promote WA if you don’t want). Get started here with WA.
The WA Vegas incentive:
If you can get 150 Premium/Premium Plus sales in a calendar year, WA’s owners Kyle and Carson will provide you with an expense paid trip to see them there. It’s a 4 day conference where you get to have private meetings with the owners and make some new friends with other super affiliates. I’ve been to that conference 9 times and here’s one of the pictures from them:
Kyle runs the main training classes inside the WA program and Carson runs most of the technical/support stuff. They are both amazing guys and people I have honored to know and call good friends! The others in this picture are also awesome people I have met and still communicate with from all over the world.
More success stories from others promoting WA and other affiliate offers:
These are just a small sample of the success stories there and they come from 2 categories of people:
- Those who promote WA
- Those who use the WA training to build other types of online businesses and promote other stuff
How to get started:
- Start here (it’s free to join)
- Go through the business set up process (5 steps)
- Start the training (8 lessons)
This will introduce you to the program, help you build your first site and start promoting the WA program (or building an affiliate site on whatever other interest you have in life).
You can try ALL of this for free and decide if you wish to stick around and upgrade later or not. Upgrading does provide even more tools, training and benefits obviously but you can decide if you want to do that or not after completing the Starter training.
