Hubs is also a recent addition giving you all the tools in one place to build and develop your websites. This is a very extensive set of tools that I have not seen any where else.

How did it start?

WA was created by Kyle Loudoun and Carson Lim in 2005

Originally it was just a keyword finder.

• 2007 and 2008 they added their hosting infrastructure and built the site Rubix with a website builder.
• 2009 and 2010 they introduced their Wealthy Affiliate blog.
• 2011 they Launched Live Chat.
• 2012 Jaaxy was born creating a very good keyword researching tool. This is how I learned about long tail keywords. Keywords are very important for getting your site ranked in Google and other search engines.
• 2013 Wealthy Affiliate started a classroom teaching how to how to build and promote their sites while at the same time they also developed a private messaging system .
• 2015 Site Comments was implemented so members could exchange comments on their sites. This was a timely addition because tools such as these can be very handy. They are especially useful when you are just beginning as a marketer although organic traffic can be a good source for getting comments also. Comments can be be difficult to get sometimes when you are just starting out.
• 2016 Site Domain was launched. This was a big change as this allowed you to purchase your domain through Wealthy Affiliate.
• 2017 Premium members could get a free SSL certificate. This upgraded feature was extremely awesome because the certificates could be costly.
• 2023 Hubs was introduced, bringing all of the educational resources together in one place.

How to use Wealthy Affiliate

The tools provide provide a very comprehensive way to develop your business from the ground up. I started using Wealthy Affiliate over 10 years ago and was happy to use the site at that time. Now it has grown into a set of resources that I would find hard to do without.

It saves you time and money if you are willing to learn. Hiring professionals to build your site is just one of the expenses you will save on.

The Website builder has hundreds of templates to choose from with superior support available.

The other Resource is under the classes tab, here you will find classes by other members covering a multitude of subjects. A lot of the people in this community are experts in their own right and the classes are phenomenal. Particularly I love the fact you can give feedback and are able to engage in community chats while learning at the same time.

Some of the classes offered are on:

• Artificial intelligence

Every time I have had an issue with my site, Wealthy Affiliate support has been there to help me with the problem. It hasn’t happened often and it is usually something that I did wrong that I need help with.

I love that there is a chat on the side and a place to ask the community questions. I will go here first most of the time if I am having an issue.

The Good and Bad as I see it..

I think all the features I described are fantastic and I have been very happy with what I can do with this site. Especially the control I have over my website.

The Cons I would have to say are the lack of an autoresponder and good tracking but I have an excellent solution for that. I will be writing about that in my next article.

On a scale from 1 to 10 I will give WA a rating of 9 and because it is minimal it is really not that big of an issue.
