There are a ton of places out there that claim to help you make money online, and Wealthy Affiliate is one of the most popular and most recommended training courses to learn affiliate marketing. But are people actually making money with the program or are those affiliates just promoting them to make a commission? What’s with all the hype?
I can tell you as a decade-long member of the community that I have made a significant amount of money online thanks to their affiliate training, and I’m not the only one. I’ve collected 46 different examples of Wealthy Affiliate results that should convince you to join right now.

Are You Ready To Work Your Ass Off to Earn Your Lifestyle?
Are you tired of the daily grind? With a laptop and an internet connection I built a small website to generate income, and my life completely changed. Let me show you exactly how I’ve been doing it for more than 13 years.
These examples are just ones that I thought were interesting, and are also from a variety of different people in a wide variety of niches. I don’t know everyone’s niche, and not everyone shares their website, but if you click the links on this page some people do mention what niches they are in.
There are many examples where I saw someone post about their first $100 day or even a $1000 day. Making $10,000 month is a big milestone too.
Don’t forget that making your first organic sale, even if it’s just $5, it a big accomplishment too. For many folks, that happens in the first months of starting their affiliate website, and then the clouds part to reveal a maniacal work ethic and clear vision of a future of working online.
So can you get results with Wealthy Affiliate? Absolutely. There’s nothing special about the people in this list(sorry guys!), and there’s certainly nothing special about myself. We all enrolled in the training, did the lessons, and worked hard on our websites every day. You can create your own account, try the first 10 lessons for free, and see what you think.
1. Officially a Six Figure Business – 2018 Year End Report
From the 25th to the 31st of December he earned an amazing $17,175 and totaled a whopping $110k+ for the year. Wow! The funny part was that he remembered setting his goal as earning just $1,000 per month, so it was pretty exciting for him to blow way past that goal.
2. December 2018 – $1,738 Dollars & Growing!
What’s more, Craig doesn’t rely on any paid advertising. Instead, he focuses on keyword research and driving traffic from Google. He hopes to hit the 5-figure income mark in 2019. This goal is certainly possible if his site continues to grow at its current rate.
3. My 2018 Travel Niche Results and the Year Ahead, Bring on 2019
@Sgregcrx is hoping for considerable growth in 2019, perhaps two to three times his current level, if not more. His success is especially relevant, as he is operating in the travel niche. This niche has considerable growth potential due to consistent demand. His experience also shows that there are many different niches that can offer the potential to make money online.
4. $500+ thanks to Wealthy Affiliate Training
In total, @Enstinemuki earned around $500 through WA training. One of the most powerful parts of his experience is that he used the training for much more than traditional affiliate marketing. This highlights the versatility of WA and the sheer amount of information that is offered.
5. My Blogs Earned Over $100k Part-Time in 2018
While his total income for the new site was relatively low in 2018, the earnings show significant potential. Eddy predicts substantial growth in 2019 and I’m inclined to agree. As he points out, the new site is just a side project. His main site is earning much more income. He made more than $100,000 across the two sites in 2018, with income from sales and from ads.
6. Just launched my 2nd ebook. $7,500 in profit in 2 months for the combo.
She took the powerful approach of seeking affiliates herself, who do the marketing work. Even after paying out commissions to affiliate and all the fees, Debbie earned an additional $7,500 in profit – within two months! Talk about impressive. This is from a girl with a blog on flooring and eBooks on SEO.
7. I Will Hit My First $1,000 month on Amazon
For those curious, Kenny is operating in the health supplement niche. This is an evergreen niche. Everyone wants to boost their health – and there are plenty of interesting supplements out there to choose from.
8. WA Helps Me Make 5 Figure Income in 2019
Yet, she had some amazing news when she quit her job. She was offered contracts in the fields of branding and digital marketing. The associated work is directly related to the skills that she has learned at WA. Florence plans to seek success in both directions – through the new career opportunities and through promoting WA.
Her dedication is amazing, especially her willingness to work her way through difficult circumstances.
9. Bringing the wife home. A real WA success story.
The second part is his current success. He has two sites hosted through WA and other sites hosted elsewhere. He has been able to work full-time from home with his wife. That’s an incredible milestone – and he is still progressing! They are now working on a pet project that his wife has designed. It’s an amazing story. It will be amazing to see where Shawn ends up in a few years.
10. Two years at Wealthy Affiliate!
That’s not all! She is now doing much better financially than before. She is debt-free and has been able to buy her own home.
11. My First $30,000 Month – Well Almost $29,330.68 To Be Exact
His key message is that success takes hard work – and lots of it! He still puts in 8-10 hours daily, for growing his business and learning more. Being creative is important too. Much of @mday849’s income didn’t come from affiliate marketing. He used a variety of other techniques as well.
12. Highest Affiliate Commissions – New Record Today! ($6,582+)
While John never talks about his niche or the products he is selling, high commissions like this certainly aren’t impossible. You often see them from high-ticket items, ones that people are paying thousands of dollars for. His main piece of advice is to never give up. That applies to any niche and is especially important in the beginning.
13. Email Contact Marketing – $714 for 10 min “work”
Email lists like this really are powerful tools. They take time to build, sure, but WA can help you to learn. John’s experience shows that lists do pay off. The approach is also another revenue stream. Having multiple sources of online income is a great way to grow your business and earn in the long-term.
14. Yes I Made it! 6 months in. Hard work Pays off!
This type of success shows that you don’t need to be an expert. You can start at a very basic level and still find success. You might even do so within a year like Rahye has.
15. Month 7 – $4550
His experience shows the importance of persistence – something that he mentions in his post as well. While some people are successful with their first idea, others find that they have to try a few different angles before they find their way.
16. Website Sold: $40,000
For Dylan, the sale also acted as a stepping stone. His post highlighted his plans to use the money to outsource content creation for his future websites. This type of financial outlay can be painful in the short-term, but it is a powerful approach for long-term success. The decision is also a clear indication that Dylan is confident in his approaches.
17. Joined the 10K Per Month Club. January Earnings $13,481.39
Brok’s success didn’t end with $10,000 per month either. He reported earnings of almost $13,500 for January 2018, suggesting that his site was continuing to grow and thrive.
18. 1st $1000 month – Wealthy Affiliate success!
Craig provides more details than most about his niche. He focuses on TV that is delivered over the internet (IPTV), using IPTV subscriptions, VPN subscriptions, and services like Amazon for revenue. The focus on subscriptions has advantages too, as customers will often be members for many months. When this happens, the affiliate marketer can end up with a passive source of income.
19. How Much A Single Review Post Can Make? Five Figure!
Cena’s outcomes show that sometimes success comes in unexpected places. You might find that a few of the posts you make are extremely popular, while ones that you poured your heart into never take up in quite the same way. If nothing else, this pattern is a reason to keep working on your business.
20. Sold my first blog for $28,000 after 13 months
She wasn’t looking to sell the blog, but one of her competitors reached out to her with an offer. Including previous income and the $28,000 sale price, @Sporkypie estimates that she earned close to $600 per article. That’s an astonishing outcome. She now has some money and experience to keep going in the field.
21. Does Wealthy Affiliate Really Work? – $400 From One Post
This isn’t the end of the story either. Bonzo mentions that the post converts well. If he is able to drive more traffic to it, then he should be able to raise his income even higher.
22. I got a $650 Sale with $50 monthly recurring!
Based on her title, @Herinnelson has made one such sale, which is exciting news. She also has five other websites through Wealthy Affiliate. Her style shows that you don’t need to stick to the most common techniques. There are plenty of different ways to earn.
23. How I Earned $9465.05 Thanks To WA Members
Another cool thing is that Eddy relies on multiple income sources. His screenshot shows this well, highlighting different totals from various programs. It’s likely that many (if not all) of those income sources will increase with time.
24. It’s Been 2 Years & 2 Months In WA. Finally Quit My Job. Yayyy!
Arjun is likely to see much more growth as time goes on. He now has more time to dedicate to his website, along with a ‘never give up’ mentality. These advantages should take him far.
25. $223.50 Made While In ICU.
The success came as a surprise. @Lakbar12 even initially thought that one of the emails was an error. That’s often how it happens. Early affiliate sales can seem to appear out of the blue. Some people don’t even notice them initially, as the emails get lost in their inbox.
26. Newbies Pay Attention! $5,195.20 Affiliate Check for June: Thanks WA!
That’s not even the really exciting part. What’s cool is that much of this income is from just two sales – one of which was for an amazing $5,195.20. He also mentions the importance of scaling your business. Doing so is critical for increasing your income in the long-term.
27. 11 sales on amazon today!
This type of success is the beginning of something great. Now that @Dalwhu is starting to see momentum, he can grow on it and make his business even more successful. He even mentions that both sales and traffic are increasing.
28. MY WA Success Story
29. 5 Years Ago Today I Made My First Income Online
As he explains, the income is a fantastic outcome, but that’s not the best part. Instead, he’s thrilled about the ability to be his own boss. That outcome isn’t a pipe dream. It’s one that various WA members do achieve.
30. Amazon: I Am Lovin’ It! (My Biggest Sale So Far)
That’s not all. The sale in question had nothing to do with her niche at all. This pattern often happens with Amazon, as their cookie doesn’t disappear immediately and Amazon is exceptional at selling products. So, even if you don’t convince people to buy the product that you’re promoting – you may end up selling something entirely different.
31. Just sold two sites for $9,000!
For Jeremy, these sales mark the end of his niche site experience, at least for the moment. He has a new job opportunity to work towards and his earnings from the site sales are certain to come in handy. Jeremy states that he may end up owning his own sites again at some point, but he would probably focus on buying existing sites, rather than starting from the beginning.
32. Thanks to WA our companies are taking off!
She posted in February 2018, a time that is normally slow for business. In this case, creating the websites through WA had made all of the difference. She has seen a couple of significant contracts, including one for $9,000. It’s an impressive outcome, especially as she can continue to build and develop the sites, along with her new niche site.
33. 3 Dollars Short of $8K – My First Progress Report
An even more exciting aspect is that most of that success came from May and June. He earned $1,458.99 in May and then $8,940.00. It’s clear that those figures are just a sign of things to come.
34. Finally Earning A Passive Income! WOOT WOOT
By taking this approach, he’s been able to earn £651.45 annually. Other approaches might earn more, but that’s not the point. Marty’s approach is very passive and takes advantage of an audience that he couldn’t sell well to otherwise. Having multiple projects like this would be a good way to generate consistent meaningful income.
35. $17,000 from one blog post over 2 years
The impressive thing is that she’s earned $17,000 from that post in the two years that it has been live. This is why it’s so important to keep writing content (especially reviews), even when it seems like you’re making little traction. You’ll never really know which posts are going to take off and become extremely popular.
36. 4.7K for the month of December and Setting My New Goals for 2019.
Her success really is amazing. She started at WA in 2016, with no previous online marketing experience. She’d never even tried her hand at building a website before. She puts her success down to dedication. She simply refused to give up.
37. First $1,000 Month!
Like many others, he says that the key technique is just ‘keeping at it’. He’s entirely right. Being consistent and working towards goals are key areas that successful affiliate marketers have in common.
38. My first $700 commission, first $2,000 week
It’s clear that Mary knows what she’s talking about – as she’s recently hit his first $700 day, along with a $2,000 week. Both of those financial outcomes are impressive. They suggest that Mary is well on her way, with a business that’s going to grow further over time.
39. Influencer Success – Besting My Best!
How’s that for impressive? Like all WA members, Lynne started small and it took a while to see any success. Now, she keeps hitting success after success. There can be no doubt that her business will continue to grow. No doubt she’ll have even more amazing stories to tell in the future.
40. I Failed at Affiliate Marketing until I Found Wealthy Affiliate
While Phil doesn’t talk much about his success, he does say that he has been seeing affiliate marketing success in just three months. He also mentions an affiliate program that he’s a part of. This program pays him $120 for a $65 sale. That’s beyond impressive.
41. Sold My Movie Blog for $3,000 on Flippa!
Selling the site was part of @Karax’s decision to start making significant money online. The $3,000 will be a significant help in developing his own business. He also had fun with his movie site and learned a lot in the process. From his perspective, the experience was worth it and he came away fully satisfied.
42. What Commission Growth Looks Like
This type of outcome is very common for affiliate marketing. It’s easy to quit when you are hardly getting any commissions but stick with it. As Marlinda’s experience shows, income will often jump unexpectedly.
43. $14,000 in 3 months.
Not only is @Saco seeing considerable success, but there is also plenty of growth on the horizon. His traffic and profits show that he knows what he is doing. He is also starting to look at email marketing. This should offer another income stream in the long-term, which is fantastic news.
44. How to Make Money with Wealthy Affiliate? A $150,000 Way!
This happened through a personal contact, where a company appeared to have been severely hit by a Google update. @OnlineBZDog was able to determine that the SEO firm hired by the company had implemented some shady practices. He was able to use his WA account to show what had happened, then propose a contract to resolve the issues.
45. How An Old Disused Website Can Make Three Figures In A Week!
Roy’s experience shows that it’s worth holding onto well-developed sites, even if you’re no longer working on them. You never know which sites will earn you passive income. You might also find, like Roy has, that it’s worth coming back to the site later on and growing it once more.
46. Passed $1000 in commissions
My Own Results (From A Non-MMO Site)
I’ve been doing affiliate marketing for about a decade now. I started out in the VPN niche with my first successful website earning over $10k/month. I’ve since sold those websites, and started new ones. I don’t like to share the revenue or specifics of One More Cup of Coffee just because haters will scream “It’s only because you are in the Make Money Online niche”, or “the only people who make money are the ones selling the courses”.
I try to practice what I preach, so I do run some websites on the side. Here’s my results from December 2018:

Even More Results: Success Stories By Year
All of the awesome results you saw above are just a few that I’ve chosen to highlight here. There are many more. Back in 2017 I started tracking the stories I saw in my feed, and I’ve created individual “hubs” where you can go an investigate each story.
I hope this long list of results makes it clear what Wealthy Affiliate is offering – a chance to learn a practical, proven method to earn money online. If you haven’t created your account yet, I recommend reading over my review to see exactly what you’re jumping into (awesomeness).
Keep in mind, these are only the stories which are public. Many Wealthy Affiliate members choose not to share their results so they don’t attract copycats. There’s nothing wrong with that. You’ll also notice quite a few members that have snowballed their success. For example, you may see someone in 2017 posting about their first Amazon sale, then in 2018 see their first $1,000 month, and in 2019 quit their job.
Here’s the blog posts by year:
