Another thing they tell you in that fine print – you have to return the unused portion of the product before the trial period is up (or within x number of days of cancellation) or they will charge you the full amount for the product. I got burned that way doing PPD. I cancelled via e-mail and they confirmed my cancellation but didn’t mention the product needed to be returned within x days. It was in the T&C fine print but I missed it.

Vivi-

The affiliate program through Wealthy Affiliate is one small aspect of the site and by no means the main feature. They teach affiliate marketing.

Yes, we receive commissions for referring people to Wealthy Affiliate.

Steve,

Thanks for the post on Read The Fine Print. I did just that on before signing up for “Wealthy Affiliate” and this is what I found:

“Upon being provided with a COMPANY Membership YOU will be signed up with the WealthyAffiliate.com Affiliate Program. All Affiliate Commissions accumulated by YOU while promoting the WealthyAffiliate.com Program…”

I see that you them listed as a recommendation at the bottom of the page. Is this how someone makes money using them, by selling their product? Do they teach people how to sell their product or is there something else of substance they teach? Also, do you make a commission every time someone signs up for their service from your site?

Thanks.

Sites like the one mentioned above will always find a few suckers. The weight loss industry is such a huge money making machine. It’s hard not to get sucked in by the websites, and fitness magazines. I have personally been on my own weight loss journey for the past year and a half and there have been times which I have almost been duped by glossy ads “especially the muscle magazines.” I know from all the hours I have spent in the gym and changed eating habits that there isn’t a magic pill that helps you lose weight, yet I am still fascinated by a product that appears to accelerate the weight loss process. I have to admit, I have bought products that were pure crap, nothing on the scale mentioned above, but nonetheless, fools good. As always, a good article for the masses.
