		<description><![CDATA[Try it for an ENTIRE month. One dollar. No obligation. No gimmicks.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You know that I&#8217;m a big believer in Wealthy Affiliate around here. There&#8217;s a reason for that. I only recommend high-quality programs or products that I believe deliver on what they promise.</p>
<p>Only a handful of products or programs have earned my recommendation, and Wealthy Affiliate is at the top of that list. It promises to teach you all about affiliate marketing from the ground up. No instant cash here, no promise of crazy earnings with little work. Just solid training and good information at a price that is more than fair.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been a member for over two years now. I&#8217;ve actually met both of the owners Kyle &#038; Carson in person. I&#8217;ve checked out the materials in detail and I am still convinced that it is the most thorough, easy-to-understand affiliate marketing training out there. It&#8217;s $47 per month, and for that, you get an education that could very well change your life. </p>
<h2>Get In For $1 Today</h2>
<p>Starting today, you can sign up for Wealthy Affiliate for $1. Try it out for an ENTIRE MONTH. Previous trials lasted a week, but this one will get you in for 30 WHOLE DAYS. If you like what you see and want to keep learning, pay your $47 for as long as you want to be a member. </p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t like it, cancel before the seventh day and pay nothing more. </p>
<h3>Is Wealthy Affiliate for You?</h3>
<ul>
<li>If you want to learn how to make money online but are not sure where to start, spend $1 to find out.</li>
<li>If you want to learn about a business you can do from home with enormous income potential, spend $1 to find out.</li>
<li>If you are curious but know NOTHING about affiliate marketing, spend $1 for a crash course.</li>
<li>If you don&#8217;t believe me that a newbie really can do this, $1 will prove it to you.</li>
</ul>
<p>In fact, I&#8217;m so sure that you will agree it was worth $1 to answer whatever questions you had that I&#8217;ll give you $1 if you disagree. Yep. You sign up for the $1 trial and check it out. If at the end of your trial period you think it wasn&#8217;t worth your money, let me know and I&#8217;ll give you your $1 back.  </p>
<p>There. Now you can see if there&#8217;s money in it for you without even risking a lousy dollar! The $1 trial promotion starts today, Friday November 25th and ends on Cyber Monday, November 28th.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Real stories from real people who really use Wealthy Affiliate. ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wealthy Affiliate is still my number one recommended program. It&#8217;s been there for a few years now. </p>
<p>If you&#8217;re unfamiliar with Wealthy Affiliate, it&#8217;s an Internet Marketing training program and they&#8217;ll show you how you can start making money with your own Internet Marketing business. It&#8217;s one of the few ways to legitimately build a solid income online. With that said, there are no handouts, there&#8217;s a lot you&#8217;ll need to learn, and you can&#8217;t expect to join today and start making thousands of dollars tomorrow. But if you&#8217;re willing to commit some time and a lot of effort, you could build a legitimate online business.</p>
<p>Super quick crash course: with Internet Marketing, you pick a niche/topic, develop a website around it (yes, even a total beginner can create a website with their training), learn how to get people to your site, and ultimately make money when one of your visitors clicks on an ad or makes a purchase through your site. This is a total simplification of the whole process, but read on and I&#8217;ll provide you with a few links at the end of this post to learn a little bit more.</p>
<p>This isn&#8217;t a post about the details of Internet Marketing though. Instead, I wanted to share with you the stories of a few people who have joined Wealthy Affiliate after learning about it through I&#8217;ve Tried That. The following interviews are with REAL people. I&#8217;ve included their Wealthy Affiliate usernames so you can look them up if you&#8217;re already a member or you plan on joining. </p>
<p>This post is designed to share with you REAL stories about Internet Marketing. I wanted to share their stories so you can learn a bit more about the types of people who join Wealthy Affiliate, how they got their start in Internet Marketing, and how they decided on a niche. I also asked for a few extra comments to share.</p>
<p>Related sidenote: <strong>Don&#8217;t join Wealthy Affiliate today.</strong> Wait until Black Friday. I hear there&#8217;s going to be another <a href="http://www.wealthyaffiliate.com/blog/black-friday-is-no-longer-the-darkest-day-for-internet-marketers/?a_aid=VartnwOZ&#038;bonus=ivetriedthat" target="_blank">$1 trial special offer</a> coming up. I also hear that the $1 will get you full access to the site for a month. Yeah, this is huge. I&#8217;ll give you more information on Friday.</p>
<p>To the interviews!</p>
<h2>Marvin</h2>
<p> <img src="http://www.ivetriedthat.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/marvin.jpg" style="float:right;padding:5px;" /></p>
<p><strong>Wealthy Affiliate Username:</strong> Marvin</p>
<p><strong>Websites:</strong> <a href="http://www.TheReasonsToBeAVegan.com" target="_blank">Reasons to be Vegan</a>, <a href="http://www.KindleTouchLightedCover.com" target="_blank">Kindle Touch Lighted Cover</a></p>
<p><strong>How He Picked His Niche:</strong></p>
<p>I decided on a niche (RTBV) by thinking about what I am passionate about, and have some knowledge about. Being a dietary vegan fit the bill. What I didn&#8217;t really consider carefully enough is how to monetize such a site and more importantly, just how difficult it can be to write on the subject of diet and nutrition. This site is a LOT of work and makes very little income. I mean VERY little.</p>
<p>With KTLC it is a different story. I put the site up six weeks before product launch and had great traffic and some nice sales, until I fell off the face of Google. I decided on this niche by seeing the opportunity in an already-proven line of products (Kindle) and moving that forward to a soon-to-be hot product. Gold mine! But it has VERY high competition so when I say &#8216;gold mine&#8217; I mean that I put in hard work, and find a few bits of precious material inside of my efforts.</p>
<p><strong>Experience Before Wealthy Affiliate:</strong></p>
<p>My internet marketing experience before joining WA was limited. I had tried some in 2008 using PPC and article marketing. I had what some would call success, but I saw as a failure. You see, I had been taught that it was possible to earn money but I was not taught how to do it without spending all of my earnings. This is where WA is different. I learned right away how to make money without spending much more than one trip to TGI Friday&#8217;s. I must say, the amount of money I was paying for my other training was less, but the education was limited at best. I didn&#8217;t survive it. Now, being a member of Wealthy Affiliate I learn more and more everyday and every roadblock I come to I find friends ready and waiting to help me build a ramp of knowledge over the top.</p>
<p><strong>Words of Advice:</strong></p>
<p>What I would say to any beginners, and I know it is hammered into everyone&#8217;s heads already, is to TAKE ACTION. Don&#8217;t think and wonder. Don&#8217;t over-analyze and over-plan. Do things. Even if it is a mistake, it probably isn&#8217;t going to end your marketing career. One misstep among dozens, even hundreds, of good steps will be like a drop in the bucket. Always learn. Always actively promote your site/blog/product every day. This is work, not an ATM.</p>
<p>Work hard. Learn daily. Earn satisfaction.</p>
<p>When considering getting into making money on the internet, it is important to remember you are not alone. There are thousands of others doing what you are doing. In order to do it better than they do, you need to have the right tools. In this business your tools are your knowledge. I have looked around for a long time to find real ways to make a living online, and until IveTriedThat.com crossed my path, I never found anything that worked. I learned about Wealthy Affiliate here and signed up. I&#8217;ve never been sorry, and I don&#8217;t know anyone who is. Sure, it isn&#8217;t perfect. I&#8217;d be lying if I said it was. But it is easily the best place to learn and grow. And best of all, there are thousands of professionals that you get to ask questions if you get stuck. That alone is worth the membership fee.</p>
<h2>Cham</h2>
<p><img src="http://www.ivetriedthat.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/cham.jpg" style="float:right;padding:5px;"></p>
<p><strong>Wealthy Affiliate Username:</strong> chamaltatis</p>
<p><strong>Websites:</strong> <a href="http://www.wheretowatchmoviesonline.com/" target="_blank">Where to Watch Movies Online</a>, <a href="http://www.videoproductiontutorial.com/" target="_blank">Video Production Tutorials</a></p>
<p><strong>How He Picked His Niche:</strong> </p>
<p>I decided on video production tutorial because it is what I am knowledgeable of. I also enjoy writing articles about it because it is also my passion.</p>
<p>For where to watch movies online, it is out of passion and also my aim to earn more. I love watching movies and making reviews of them. This is also a bit connected to video production tutorial because in my movie reviews, I&#8217;m also commenting on how the movie is done etc. Of course, I&#8217;m also targeting my visitors to watch or download movies legally and have a better experience in good quality videos of movies through the sites I refer to them.</p>
<p><strong>Experience Before Wealthy Affiliate:</strong></p>
<p>Well, I have zero knowledge about IM before. I just know that my brother and a friend is making a living online so I also got curious about it. </p>
<p><strong>Words of Advice:</strong></p>
<p>Well, IM is the best way to make a living and there are many opportunities out there actually. I tried to find some ways before joining WA but to be honest, I really didn&#8217;t know how to start. That&#8217;s because I know nothing about IM and I&#8217;m not confident to do anything before. By joining WA, I did not only learn many things about IM like affiliate marketing, articles writing online, SEO etc. for my own business but I also had enough education that gave me more confidence in applying for jobs online. </p>

<p><strong>How She Picked Her Niche:</strong></p>
<p>I have a love for cooking and cookware, wanted to share with others what I learned during my 16 year journey to become my husband&#8217;s top chef.</p>
<p><strong>Experience Before Wealthy Affiliate:</strong></p>
<p>I had no experience with internet marketing.  Didn&#8217;t know it existed.</p>
<p><strong>Words of Advice:</strong></p>
<p>Stay focused and find a friend on the forum.  Don&#8217;t be afraid to change directions, try new topics, change things until you are comfortable. I continue to try new concepts.</p>
<p>I started my site Sept. 18, 2011.  It has been painstakingly slow, but I was/am determined to see it through.  I have a lot of work yet but I am becoming more comfortable each day.  I have learned so much here and have had members give me tips and advice that has been helpful.  Don&#8217;t hesitate to ask a question.  Create your site yourself, walk through each step.  you need to know everything there is to know about the behind the scene workings of the site.</p>
<h2>One Last Thing&#8230;</h2>
<p>I&#8217;ve Tried That has always been about providing you with real reviews of programs. That&#8217;s why you&#8217;ll never see me promote a product and guarantee that you&#8217;ll be making thousands of dollars per day after signing up. I want you to have REALISTIC expectations about building an online business.</p>
<p>Internet Marketing is challenging. You are building a business from the ground up and Wealthy Affiliate is the best training program I&#8217;ve found online that helps beginners actually get started.</p>
<p>I told you I&#8217;d give you a few more links to learn about Internet Marketing and Wealthy Affiliate in general.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wealthyaffiliate.com/?a_aid=VartnwOZ&#038;bonus=ivetriedthat" target="_blank">Click here and check out the Wealthy Affiliate homepage</a></p>
<p>The main page will give you a good overview of what&#8217;s involved in starting an Internet Marketing business and how Wealthy Affiliate can help you get started. They&#8217;ll provide the training and the tools, but it&#8217;s up to you to put their training into action. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.wealthyaffiliate.com/support.php?a_aid=VartnwOZ&#038;bonus=ivetriedthat" target="_blank">Click here and check out the support offered</a></p>
<p>Did I mention that you get unlimited free support from both the owners and the community as well? Yeah, definitely read this page. (Look for my picture while you&#8217;re there. I was listed as one of Wealthy Affiliate&#8217;s most helpful members.)</p>

		<description><![CDATA[They've been online for six years now. As a celebration they're offering a deal that can't be beat.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Big news for today.</p>
<p>Wealthy Affiliate is celebrating its 6th birthday today. In a world where new programs come and go every few weeks, SIX YEARS online is quite impressive. You&#8217;d be hard-pressed to find another training program that&#8217;s been around for just as long.</p>
<p>Wealthy Affiliate has changed a lot over these past 6 years. It&#8217;s evolved from a simple keyword list newsletter to an entire community of Internet Marketers.</p>
<p>I joined back in April of 2009 and it&#8217;s consistently been the #1 Most Recommended program here at I&#8217;ve Tried That. That&#8217;s about two and a half years now and I still haven&#8217;t seen anything that even compares. Personally, I&#8217;m never leaving.</p>
<p>Yes, it&#8217;s that good.</p>
<h2>A Wealthy Affiliate Discount</h2>
<p>Well, in celebration of their six years online, the owners (Kyle &#038; Carson) have decided to offer &#8220;throwback pricing&#8221; for one week only. For the next week, you can join Wealthy Affiliate for one year at the price of a membership in 2005. </p>
<p>This works out to just $29/month.</p>
<h3><a href="http://www.wealthyaffiliate.com/throwback.php?a_aid=VartnwOZ" target="_blank">Click here for more information.</a></h3>
<p>This is for <strong>ONE WEEK ONLY.</strong> After September 19th, you will not have the option to join at this price.</p>
<p>Current members can take advantage of this pricing as well. If you&#8217;re already a member and think you&#8217;ll be there for the next few months, I highly recommend upgrading your membership and saving a bit of money.</p>
<h2>Simple Math</h2>
<p>If you&#8217;ve been a fan of this site for a while, you&#8217;ll know that I&#8217;m a big believer in simple math. I usually use math to prove that a system is a scam. Here I&#8217;ll use it to show you just how good of<br />
a deal this is. A quick review, this offer gets you full access to the Platinum level at Wealthy Affiliate. The Platinum level regularly costs $97/month or about $1,164/year. That&#8217;s pretty damn pricey.</p>
<p>With the current promotion, you can join Wealthy Affiliate for only $359.88, which works out to exactly $29.99/month.</p>
<p>Here are some fun calculations for you. In total, you&#8217;d save $804.12 per year or about $67 per month or over $2 per day! You&#8217;re getting Wealthy Affiliate for 70% off. Not bad at all.</p>
<p>This is equivalent to paying for 3.5 months of Wealthy Affiliate, but gaining access to the site for an entire year. You&#8217;d be getting over 8 months of unlimited access completely free.</p>
<p>Unlimited training.</p>
<p>Unlimited support.</p>
<p>Unlimited hosting.</p>
<p>Unlimited live chat and video training.</p>
<p>I could go on for a long time here.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[I joined Chris Farrell Membership and have been browsing his site for a few days now to give you guys a proper unbiased look at his program. Here's what I found...]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve received more review requests for Chris Farrell Membership than any other program. Combined with the ridiculous number of positive reviews out there, I couldn&#8217;t put it off any longer. I paid my $4.95 7-day trial fee, created my account, and this is my review.</p>
<h2>A ChrisFarrellMembership.com Review &#8212; Is it a scam?</h2>
<p>Chris Farrell Membership is an introductory training program for beginners looking to learn Internet Marketing. It was created by none-other than Chris Farrell, a good looking English chap with an accompanying accent. The goal of his site is to provide you with the training, tools, and support to build an Internet Marketing business from home.</p>
<p>You can try the program for 7 days for only $4.95. After the first seven days, you will be billed $37.00 every month that you remain a member. This membership fee includes access to every training program he created, unlimited support from the support staff, and unlimited web hosting (usually costs $20 a month by itself!) You really do get your money&#8217;s worth here.</p>
<p>Almost all of his training is video-based. Personally, I much rather prefer text-based training. I like being able to learn at my own pace. With videos you have to constantly rewind, pause, and rewatch segments to make sure you understand it all. If you&#8217;re a visual learner, this is definitely a course for you.</p>
<p>Chris started his Internet Marketing career late 2007/early 2008 and within less than a year, he was making enough online to comfortably live in Beverly Hills. His training is a collection of tutorials he wrote after finding what works online. It&#8217;s very much a &#8220;follow in my footsteps&#8221; type program. Chris himself is seen around the site frequently answering questions and providing help.</p>
<h3>Yeah, but does it work?</h3>
<p>Chris teaches tried and true methods of Internet Marketing. These are methods that I personally use on a near daily basis so I know that they DO work. But, I have found a few of his methods outdated and there was little mention to recent developments in the Internet Marketing world. Take the recent Google &#8220;Panda&#8221; update for example. This was HUGE news to Internet Marketers worldwide, but I was only able to find one mention of it on his entire site. Someone created a forum post about it and received 3 replies. That was it. </p>
<p>His teaching is also very basic. He starts at an absolute beginners level. I&#8217;m talking &#8220;I-just-know-how-to-browse-the-Internet&#8221; level. His videos are VERY easy to follow and Chris does an exceptional job as a teacher.</p>
<p>Is it possible to make money following ONLY Chris&#8217;s teaching? Absolutely, 100% yes. But, I do believe you&#8217;ll be spending quite a few months trying to do so and will ultimately seek out help from another program. This is where it gets tricky though. Without Chris&#8217;s help, you wouldn&#8217;t have the basic knowledge required to seek out and learn more. So while you&#8217;re not going to get rich from his training, you will need this basic foundation of knowledge to get started. Does that make sense? </p>
<h2>What I Liked</h2>
<h3>Tons of Training</h3>
<p>The amount of information readily available to you is astounding, to say the least. There are over 1,000 different training videos and 20+ different training programs to follow. You are absolutely getting your money&#8217;s worth when it comes to the quantity of content you receive.</p>
<h3>Consistent Updates</h3>
<p>The site is updated often. Chris is constantly working on providing his subscribers with more. There are new additions made almost daily and every new feature is included with your membership. </p>
<h3>Chris &amp; His Likability</h3>
<p>Damn is Chris likable. He has a sincerity about him that is unmatched. It&#8217;s hard to put into words. When he speaks, you can tell he&#8217;s genuinely interested in helping you build an online business. Above all, he is a great teacher.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s quite obvious Chris Farrell isn&#8217;t in the business of ripping people off. Immediately after creating your account, Chris provides you with cancellation instructions should you feel the need to leave the program. It&#8217;s honestly the first piece of instruction he offers. You don&#8217;t have to jump through any hoops, or fight your way out of a contract. Login, cancel your account, and be done with it.</p>
<h3>Timely, Quality Support</h3>
<p>I was most impressed by the support staff. There is a dedicated support team and they offer round-the-clock help. I&#8217;ve been browsing through the forum and nearly every question was answered <em>within a few minutes</em> with a detailed, helpful explanation. </p>
<p>It&#8217;s really hard to find such quality support these days. Most programs will try and sell you some sort of &#8220;support&#8221; add-on package or offer additional coaching at thousands of dollars per month, but not Chris. It&#8217;s all included with your membership and well worth the price of the membership alone.</p>
<h2>What I Didn&#8217;t Like</h2>
<h3>The Navigation</h3>
<p>I really do not like the site&#8217;s navigation. It feels very <em>clumsy.</em> It&#8217;s like<strong> Chris set out to build this grand mansion, but built it one room at a time with little regard to previous rooms he built</strong>. There&#8217;s no real sense of direction either. There are five different introduction pages all explaining different ways of getting started.  The site just doesn&#8217;t <em>flow</em>. </p>
<p>A face-lift would do the site wonders as well. Even though it&#8217;s updated daily, it feels very outdated. I don&#8217;t see this happening any time soon (if ever) since his videos frequently refer to areas around his site. This unfortunately means the site will only continue to fall behind in terms of design. </p>
<p>Chris really just needs to go through and browse the pages of his site. The entire site needs to be proofread. I found plenty of typos, randomly capitalized words, the text &#8216;click here&#8217; with no links, and plenty of other mistakes. Take this for example. This is the text that shows up when you click to Chris&#8217;s blog&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>Hello!</p>
<p>Please note that right now (August 2010) I have had to take my blog offline &#8211; as I have had interest by a publisher to turn it into a book.</p>
<p>This publisher is currently taking a look at this &#8211; but my blog <strong>WILL </strong>be back online here &#8211; by the first week of October.</p>
<p>Thank you &#8211; and please do feel free to check back here then.</p>
<p>My apologies for it being temporarily unavailable.</p>
<p>Kindest</p>
<p>Chris Farrell, August 2010</p></blockquote>
<p>It&#8217;s not a big deal since this doesn&#8217;t impact your training, but these little things start to add up.</p>
<h3>The Discussion Forum</h3>
<p>Man, the forum desperately needs better organization and an updated design as well. It is very text heavy. There are literally hundreds of thousands of posts in the &#8216;Troubleshooting&#8217; sub-forum alone. This could easily be broken up into different categories. I can&#8217;t imagine how hard it would be to find a topic you saw a few days ago and wished to read again. </p>
<p>I took a screenshot of the forum to show you what it looks like.<br />
<center><img src="http://www.ivetriedthat.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/chrisfarrellmembershipforum.jpg" alt="Chris Farrell Membership Forum"></center></p>
<h3>The Positive Reviews</h3>
<p>I was drawn to Chris Farrell Membership mainly due to the overwhelming number of positive reviews about the program. This both intrigued and worried me. While Chris doesn&#8217;t ever say &#8220;Go here and give me a positive review,&#8221; he does ask that you leave a testimonial and review the program. Any one this far into the course will have been with Chris for a while and will likely have nothing but nice things to say about the guy and the sheer amount of positive reviews drowns out any legitimate qualms another user may have with the program. </p>
<h3>Little Focus on WordPress/CMSs</h3>
<p>This is the number one issue I have with training at Chris Farrell Membership. The main focus of his training is teaching beginners how to build static HTML pages pretty much from scratch. In this day and age, that&#8217;s entirely unnecessary. There are tools (mainly WordPress) out there that will build complex, easy to update &#038; manage websites for you within seconds. Why bother spending all that time trying to design, build, and manage a website when you can have WordPress do all of that work for you?</p>
<p>There ARE a few training materials on WordPress, but the videos are from 2009. WordPress is entirely different today. The concept is very much the same, but it functions entirely different today. You won&#8217;t get any of the benefits of WordPress (plugins, proper SEO, the ability to connect with your readers, instant &amp; easy changes to your site) without a ton of work on your part with a static website.</p>
<p>If you follow Chris Farrell&#8217;s program, you will be wasting a lot of time learning basic HTML and trying to build your own website. Hell, the first few days of his 21 Days to Success program are all about learning about different files on your computer and how to resize images. Not exactly groundbreaking stuff here.</p>
<h2>The Bottom Line</h2>
<p>So, do I recommend you join Chris Farrell Membership?</p>
<p>Well, yes and no. I suppose if I had some sort of rating system on this blog, I&#8217;d give Chris Farrell Membership 2.5 thumbsups out of five.</p>
<p>The training isn&#8217;t bad, but it&#8217;s not exactly great either. Chris Farrell is a fantastic teacher and he&#8217;s very knowledgeable on all topics Internet Marketing. With that said, his training is mainly geared toward complete beginners. He teaches older methods of building websites and I just think there are much easier ways of learning Internet Marketing. Experienced Internet Marketers will be bored to tears and likely won&#8217;t stay past the 7-day trial.</p>
<p>His training is good if you want to start venturing out into Internet Marketing, but don&#8217;t want to commit a whole lot of money up-front. You&#8217;ll learn the basics and get a real good grasp on the foundations of Internet Marketing; however, I firmly believe that you will need to move on from Chris&#8217;s training to make a substantial income online.</p>
<p>Chris Farrell Membership is <strong>100% NOT a scam.</strong></p>

		<description><![CDATA[You guys have repeatedly requested it and now I'm honoring your requests. I'll be spending my hard-earned money to join the Chris Farrell Membership program just to give you guys a proper full review and look inside.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been taken a lot of time off recently. But I&#8217;m back and in the process of a full-review of a program that&#8217;s been getting a lot of attention recently.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s called Chris Farrell Membership. </p>
<p>Yeah, that&#8217;s it. Interesting name choice, but you can&#8217;t judge a book by its cover.</p>
<h2>Joining Chris Farrell&#8217;s Membership Program</h2>
<p>I&#8217;ll be joining <a href="http://manthem.farrell10.hop.clickbank.net" target="_blank">Chris Farrell Membership</a> in just a few moments and will be testing out his training over the next week or so. You can join for the first 7 days for only $4.95. Chris offers this trial period to make sure you are sure this is a right fit for you. After that it costs $37/month to be a member. Nothing too expensive. It does come with unlimited webhosting too, so that&#8217;s a huge plus.</p>
<p>Chris Farrell Membership claims to teach Internet Marketing at a beginner&#8217;s level. His course regularly receives praise and is usually rated among the best Internet Marketing training programs.</p>
<p>One of the features that most attracts me to his site is the &#8220;21 Days to Success&#8221; training he offers. It&#8217;s very similar to another program I highly recommend so I&#8217;m interested to see how it stacks up. Chris has created training videos that span 21 days. You login, learn from his video lesson, complete the tasks he hands you, and work towards building a business.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m a HUGE fan of this teaching style. It really helps break down the learning process into &#8220;bite-sized&#8221; pieces. That way you&#8217;ll learn at a reasonable pace and won&#8217;t be overwhelmed by the sheer amount of information being offered. There&#8217;s little more daunting than receiving a 300-page book on how to make money online. This way you can learn at a reasonable pace without the added stress.</p>
<p>In my next update, I&#8217;ll give you guys an inside look at the program. I&#8217;ll show you what you get when you join, and give you my personal opinions about the program (what I like, what I didn&#8217;t like, how it compares to other programs, etc.)</p>
<p>My biggest fear (again, I haven&#8217;t joined yet, this is merely speculation) is that you&#8217;ll be learning how to sell Chris Farrell products. I&#8217;m just getting that vibe from his site for some reason and I sincerely hope I&#8217;m 100% wrong.</p>
<p>Have any of you guys had any experience with his training program? If so, what did you think? Still a member? I&#8217;d love to hear some reader&#8217;s stories as well. </p>
<p>I do enter my <a href="http://manthem.farrell10.hop.clickbank.net" target="_blank">Christ Farrell Membership</a> review with an optimistic outlook (rare here at I&#8217;ve Tried That, but let&#8217;s be honest, there&#8217;s little reason for me to be optimistic these days when it comes to &#8216;make money online&#8217; type products.) And I really look forward to giving this site a proper review.</p>
<p>More next week!</p>
<p>One last sidenote. Don&#8217;t do an image search for Chris Farrell&#8217;s name. He seems to share a name with a popular underwear model. Image results display gratuitous amounts of, hmm, well, yeah. </p>
<p>Just don&#8217;t do it.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Try it for one week. One dollar. No obligation. No gimmicks.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You know that I&#8217;m a big believer in Wealthy Affiliate around here. There&#8217;s a reason for that. I only recommend high-quality programs or products that I believe deliver on what they promise.</p>
<p>Only a handful of products or programs have earned my recommendation, and Wealthy Affiliate is at the top of that list. It promises to teach you all about affiliate marketing from the ground up. No instant cash here, no promise of crazy earnings with little work. Just solid training and good information at a price that is more than fair.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been a member for almost two years now. I&#8217;ve actually met both of the owners Kyle &#038; Carson in person. I&#8217;ve checked out the materials in detail and I am still convinced that it is the most thorough, easy-to-understand affiliate marketing training out there. It&#8217;s $47 per month, and for that, you get an education that could very well change your life. </p>
<h2>Get In For $1 Today</h2>
<p>Starting today, you can sign up for Wealthy Affiliate for $1. Try it out for seven days. If you like what you see and want to keep learning, pay your $47 for as long as you want to be a member. </p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t like it, cancel before the seventh day and pay nothing more. </p>
<h3>Is Wealthy Affiliate for You?</h3>
<ul>
<li>If you want to learn how to make money online but are not sure where to start, spend $1 to find out.</li>
<li>If you want to learn about a business you can do from home with enormous income potential, spend $1 to find out.</li>
<li>If you are curious but know NOTHING about affiliate marketing, spend $1 for a crash course.</li>
<li>If you don&#8217;t believe me that a newbie really can do this, $1 will prove it to you.</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="background:yellow;border:5px dashed black;color:black; padding:10px;">
<strong style="font-size:18px;">Special Note:</strong> <span style="font-size:17px;">This is the longest, most informative post I&#8217;ve ever written. If you&#8217;re at all serious about learning how to make money from home, set aside the 10 or 15 minutes it takes to read this post entirely. Facebook, Twitter, and all of your other favorite distractions will still be there when you&#8217;re done. I promise.
</div>
</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been a member at Wealthy Affiliate for over a year now and wanted to give you guys an updated look at my progress with the program. I&#8217;ll tell you more about Wealthy Affiliate and how it has helped me build a successful online business and how you can follow in my footsteps.</p>
<h2>What is Wealthy Affiliate?</h2>
<p>When I first heard about Wealthy Affiliate, it was pitched to me as a no-nonsense way to learn how to do Internet Marketing. It&#8217;s run by two guys, Kyle &#038; Carson, and their goal is to teach you how to get started with your very own online business. </p>
<p>I&#8217;ve heard this concept a million times before. I expected their website to be filled with the usual suspects. You know, the obnoxious red header, the screenshots of affiliate accounts that make thousands of dollars per day, the flashy cars, the scantily clad women, explosions, pushy sales tactics, you know, the whole nine yards. But when I clicked through I was relieved to see none of that. In fact, the first few paragraphs were real down to earth and I felt like I was being treated like an actual person and not someone standing around with an open wallet.</p>
<p>Let me quote part of the Wealthy Affiliate page for you&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>We have worked tirelessly since 2005 to create the top training facility for “building an online business” and have been in the Internet Marketing business since 2002.  No, Wealthy Affiliate is not a “get rich quick” scheme, and no, we will not guarantee that you will be driving a Ferrari within the next six months.</p></blockquote>
<p>Most other sales pages have the audacity to tell you how <em>easy</em> it is to make hundreds of thousands of dollars online. If you&#8217;ve been a fan of this site for a while or ever tried making money online, you know that&#8217;s simply just not true. It does take work to make money online and anyone saying otherwise is lying to you for a shot at your wallet. I see it happen all the time. Every day my inbox floods with review requests and it&#8217;s always the same thing. Some &#8220;guru&#8221; is claiming he discovered the next secret to making tens of thousands of dollars per month online and now wants to give it away for $27. But act fast, because there are only 2 copies of the DIGITAL eBook left apparently. It was quite a relief to finally come across a program that wants their members to understand this is a life-changing process that involves a bit of elbow grease and a lot of spirit.</p>
<p>So Wealthy Affiliate bills itself as the top online training program for Internet Marketing and claims they will be able to help just about anyone start their very own online business. I want to share with you what I&#8217;ve found out about the program, but first, some background information.</p>
<h2>What exactly is Internet Marketing?</h2>
<p>Basically, you’ll learn how to create websites (don&#8217;t freak out, I&#8217;ll explain in a minute) or write articles and sell other people&#8217;s products for a commission. I know I just said sell, but you won’t be doing sales. Bear with me and let me break Internet Marketing down for you to it’s simplest form.</p>
<p>Let’s say you are going on a trip and you want to buy a new digital camera under $200 to capture the memories. You head on over to Google and type in “best $200 camera for travelling” and start to read through some of the results. You find one page which is a review of a decently priced camera that fits your needs. At the bottom of the review is a link to the camera at Amazon.com. You click the link, buy the camera, and have a wonderful time on your trip.</p>
<p>What you didn’t notice is that when you clicked the link to Amazon.com, you clicked on someone’s affiliate link. Your experience didn’t change and you still got the camera for the same price; however, the person that wrote the review for the camera just received a commission on your purchase. A $200 camera probably just earned them $14 in commissions. Now, that’s just one sale. Think of how many billions of searches that are done at Google or Bing or Yahoo and how many trillions of dollars are spent online and you’ll begin to realize the potential behind Internet Marketing.</p>
<p>This is a really, really basic view of internet marketing. There&#8217;s just so much more you can do with it and even more ways to earn money. <em><strong>My absolute favorite thing</strong></em> about Internet Marketing is that you don&#8217;t have to create a product to sell or take orders or provide customer service. Really, what you&#8217;ll be doing as an Internet Marketer is writing about topics that interest YOU and finding a way to incorporate other people&#8217;s products into your articles to sell. You provide a recommendation and can earn a commission any time someone follows your advice.</p>
<p>Now, I can read your mind, you know. You’re thinking to yourself “I don’t know how to create websites” or “I don’t know what I would write about” or “I’m not that good of a writer” or “This sounds too complicated for me.” But, I want you to stick with this article and read it to the end and you&#8217;ll see that these are just irrational fears that you can conquer.</p>
<h2>The Pros of Wealthy Affiliate</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong><u>It is extremely comprehensive and always up-to-date.</u></strong> The training at Wealthy Affiliate will teach you all aspects of Internet Marketing. The training materials are updated frequently and new tutorials are added daily. Members can even create their own materials, share their own secrets and explain to you what works.</li>
<p></p>
<li><strong><u>You get to use WordPress Express.</u></strong> This is one of the coolest tools I&#8217;ve ever used in my Internet Marketing career. WordPress Express was designed by Kyle &#038; Carson to instantly create entire websites for you within seconds. You fill out the name pick a template, click next, and you&#8217;re pretty much good to go. <a href="http://www.wealthyaffiliate.com/wordpress_express.php?a_aid=VartnwOZ&#038;data1=WExpress" target="_blank">You can click here and see the tool in action.</a> But come back for the rest of the review!</li>
<p></p>
<li><strong><u>Everything is included.</u></strong> There are NO addons, NO upsells, NO extra tools you have to buy, nothing. The point of Wealthy Affiliate is to get you started without having to spend more. Even support and coaching is free. Other training programs only exist to sell you more, but not here. </li>
<p></p>
<li><strong><u>Access to One-on-One coaching</u></strong> The biggest problem with other training programs is the complete lack of support. Or they may offer support, but may charge you a ridiculous hourly rate. At Wealthy Affiliate, you can send messages to the owners Kyle &#038; Carson and you&#8217;ll always get a personal, concise response. I&#8217;ve sent them both messages in the past and have always received a reply. You can even ask the community forums for help and have other Wealthy Affiliate members lend a hand.</li>
<p></p>
<li><strong><u>You&#8217;re joining a community.</u></strong> Wealthy Affiliate isn&#8217;t some eBook you download or some video you watch. It&#8217;s a thriving, bustling community. There are thousands of members all working towards the same goal. You can chat in the forums, make friends, send messages, and just connect with other people. The members at Wealthy Affiliate are some of the most helpful and knowledgeable bunch I&#8217;ve ever come across online.</li>
<p></p>
<li><strong><u>The Success Forum</u></strong> I wanted to give you an inside look at the “Success Forum” within Wealthy Affiliate. <a href="http://www.ivetriedthat.com/wp-content/gallery/images/success.png" title="" class="shutterset_singlepic19" >Click here and to pull up a screenshot now.</a> This is just a small handful of people talking about the success they found after joining Wealthy Affiliate. I just want to point out that this is within the members-only forum. These people are sharing their stories of success with other Wealthy Affiliate members. They often explain step-by-step the exact process they followed to achieve their success. The people in the community forum are really incredible. </li>
</ul>
<h2>And the Cons&#8230;</h2>
<p>Nothing is absolutely perfect, Wealthy Affiliate included. There are <em>some</em> drawbacks to joining the program and I do have some complaints. The first being that there may simply be too much information available. It&#8217;s a weird complaint I know, but if you&#8217;re an absolute beginner, you might feel overwhelmed with the sheer amount of knowledge at your fingertips. There&#8217;s a lot to do and learn within Wealthy Affiliate that you might lose focus. It&#8217;s best to set clear goals as you begin your training.</p>
<h3>Cost to Join Wealthy Affiliate</h3>
<p>Wealthy Affiliate usually costs $97/month to join, but they do offer a more beginner friendly membership discounted at $47/month. The main difference between the two accounts is the number of websites you can host and the number of keyword searches you can run. <strong>If you&#8217;re just starting out, the $47/month membership is absolutely perfect</strong>. You won&#8217;t need to host an unlimited number of websites right from the start. As you learn more and want to grow, then you can upgrade to the regular account.</p>
<p>There are no contracts, commitments, or hidden fees. If you want to leave Wealthy Affiliate, you can login and cancel your account at any time. There are instructions on how to do this right in the member&#8217;s area. You don&#8217;t have to talk to anyone or anything. Just login, cancel, and you&#8217;ll be done.</p>
<p>I know I probably just scared away half of you with a mention of price and you&#8217;re probably thinking one of two things right now. The first is, &#8220;why should I have to pay to start an online business?&#8221; or &#8220;how long will it take for me to make money?&#8221; I can answer both of those for you.</p>
<p><strong style="font-size:1.1em;">Why do you have to pay?</strong></p>
<p>You want to start your own business right? Think of how expensive this would be to do if it wasn&#8217;t an online business. First you&#8217;d pay to go back to school or to learn a new skill or trade. Then you&#8217;d have to pay to open a store or rent office space. You&#8217;d have utility bills, employees to pay, inventory to stock, and so much more. You&#8217;d be spending years of your life and tens of thousands of dollars <em>just to get started.</em> Who knows how long it will take for the business to become profitable? There&#8217;s even a chance you could go under before seeing a dime leaving you hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt.  The great thing about Internet Marketing is that you can get started, right now, without having to commit so much time and money.</p>
<p><strong style="font-size:1.1em;">How long will it take to start making money?</strong></p>
<p>This is the hardest question to answer because there are a ton of factors that come into play. Most Wealthy Affiliate members start making money within their first few weeks. I&#8217;ve seen some posts in the community forum where people are earning just days after starting. It is a good idea to set aside some time to learn though. Remember that you are trying to build an online business. The best part about it all is that you will make money while you&#8217;re learning. </p>
<p>Just know this, when you join Wealthy Affiliate&#8230;</p>
<ul class="checklist">
<li><b><u>You will</u></b> be working to build your own online business. Forget working the 9 to 5 and slaving away under a miserable boss to make someone else rich. Learn how to work for YOU.</li>
<li><b><u>You will</u></b> have your very own website up and running within your first week regardless of your technical experience.</li>
<li><b><u>You will</u></b> have access to unlimited support. The owners of Wealthy Affiliate will personally help you and respond to your questions.</li>
<li><b><u>You will</u></b> be joining a community and collaborating with thousands of other like-minded individuals (including me personally!) all working to achieve success online.</li>
<li><b><u>You will</u></b> have access to all updates and changes at Wealthy Affiliate without ever getting charged more.</li>
</ul>
<h2>How I&#8217;ve been using the program</h2>
<p>Now, my experiences with the program may differ from yours. I knew a little bit about Internet Marketing before joining. I knew the basics and understood the concepts, so I didn&#8217;t really follow the action plan or beginner tutorials. I jumped right into the meat of the program.</p>
<p>I absolutely love the members-only forum. Every day thousands of people fill the forums with new methods to making money online. It&#8217;s really a goldmine of information in the forum alone. I like to be able to login and collaborate with other members. I also like to spend some time answering questions and helping other people if they run into problems. It&#8217;s a great way for me to exercise what I know and spend some time thinking up new ideas to implement.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve viewed a ton of video tutorials as well. I&#8217;m a very visual learner, so being able to physically watch someone else work has been a huge help. Wealthy Affiliate runs live webinars a few times a week as well. Live training feels just like sitting in at an online class. </p>
<p>But the absolute biggest benefit for me was being able to connect with other Internet Marketers. I&#8217;ve met some of my closest Internet Marketing friends through Wealthy Affiliate and regularly talk to them or even get together over dinner to discuss ideas and the future. Some people I talk to regularly are Ryan Moran from eTycoon, Eddy Salomon from WorkAtHomeNoScams, Jennifer (aka PotPieGirl), and Jay the guy behind the Wealthy Affiliate webinars. Without these people, I don&#8217;t know where I&#8217;d be in my life right now. I might have even given up on Internet Marketing. But I was able to meet them and talk to them through Wealthy Affiliate and for that I am eternally thankful. </p>
<h2>My Earnings Since Joining Wealthy Affiliate</h2>
<p>I wanted to share with you an inside look at a few of my personal affiliate accounts and give a little information about each of them to help you better understand how Wealthy Affiliate has helped me make money online.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s start with&#8230;</p>
<p align="center"><img src="http://www.ivetriedthat.com/our-top-recommendation-the-wealthy-affiliate/click.png" style="border: 1px solid #BBB;padding: 2px;"/></p>
<p>I&#8217;ll save you the trouble of adding that up. It comes out to $1,243.60. That&#8217;s over a thousand bucks over a two week period. These earnings all come from ONE SINGLE article I wrote OVER TWO YEARS AGO. Yes, you read that correctly. That one single article has been consistently making this kind of money for over two years now. It took me only a few hours to write.</p>
<p>I used a few article marketing training guides at Wealthy Affiliate to help me write a compelling article and learned how to properly promote it and drive traffic to it. This was one of my first &#8220;big ideas&#8221; and has been a cash cow for me ever since.</p>
<p>Next we have&#8230;</p>
<p align="center"><img src="http://www.ivetriedthat.com/our-top-recommendation-the-wealthy-affiliate/amazonmid.png" style="border: 1px solid #BBB;padding: 2px;"/></p>
<p>This is a screenshot of my Amazon affiliate account for the month of January. All of these earnings come from a deal website that I run. I scour Amazon.com looking for big discounts on items. It takes me about 5 minutes to update each morning and hundreds of people visit it each day looking to save some money. I get paid every time someone clicks on one of the deals I posted then buys ANYTHING at all at Amazon.</p>
<p>The idea for this site came from the Wealthy Affiliate forum. A few members were talking about how to make money with Amazon&#8217;s affiliate program. Since I love online shopping and saving money, I decided to create a website to help other people do the same. It&#8217;s been a huge hit and it&#8217;s one of the easiest ways I&#8217;m making money online.</p>
<p>Finally we have&#8230;</p>
<p align="center"><img src="http://www.ivetriedthat.com/our-top-recommendation-the-wealthy-affiliate/guidemid.png" style="border: 1px solid #BBB;padding: 2px;"/></p>
<p>This last screenshot is just a small snippet of my personal Gmail inbox. I recently wrote and released my own guide to sell and it&#8217;s been moving quite well. I did a search for all of the payment notifications and you can see the search returned thousands of results. </p>
<p>The guide has been my biggest success thus far and I used a combination of a ton of different Wealthy Affiliate guides to help me write it and promote it. I was also able to get in contact with other Wealthy Affiliate members who had experience selling products and was able to pick their brains and ask questions. These were people who make millions of dollars online each year and they were personally helping ME. I never would have been confident enough to write my own guide, nor as successful at selling it, if it wasn&#8217;t for the help at Wealthy Affiliate.</p>
<p>This has just been a small sample of just a few of my earnings. I wanted to give you a personal look into a few things that I&#8217;m doing to make money online and give you some proof that yes this stuff actually does work.</p>
<h2>The Quickest Way to Get Started: Success in 30 Days</h2>
<p><img src="http://www.wealthyaffiliate.com/images/icon_training.png" style="padding-left:10px;padding-bottom:10px;float:right;" />It seems that a lot of people are geniunely interested in learning how to make money online, but don&#8217;t really know how to start or feel their technical abilities will hold them back. Wealthy Affiliate has gone through great lengths to help anyone get started with a new club they created called <strong>Success in 30 Days</strong>.</p>
<p>Each morning, you will receive an email with a list of tasks to accomplish for that day. This will help you setup your very first online campaign and put you on a direct path to making money. Within just a couple of days, you’ll have a niche picked out, a full website up and running, and a handful of articles written. You may even begin to see some visitors and possibly even some money!</p>
<p>I’ve been in contact with quite a few people who have been in the Success in 30 Days Club and they have all spoken very highly of it. The most common comment I receive is that it really helps put things into perspective for absolute beginners. Everyone has also said how EASY it was to get their first website online, even those who describe themselves as “technically challenged.” </p>
<p>The biggest proof that the Success in 30 Days Club works comes from an 80-year old man who wrote an email to me a few days ago. He didn’t know much about computers and mainly used the Internet for email and Scrabble. He wanted to pick up an online hobby and decided to try at Internet Marketing. In less than a week, he had his very first website online and was working on getting visitors. Very encouraging!</p>
<h2>My Personal Tips for Success</h2>
<ol>
<li><strong><u>Find some support first.</u></strong> Before you even join the program, make sure you can find someone to support you. Let them know you&#8217;re trying something new and will be working towards learning how to make money online. If you can&#8217;t find support at home, feel free to send me an email. I&#8217;ll be more than happy to assist you any way I can. </li>
<p></p>
<li><strong><u>Join the Success in 30 Days Club.</u></strong> The owners of the program have developed a guide that is absolutely essential for beginners to learn the basics of Internet Marketing. Sign up for the club the second your membership account is created. Follow the emails each morning to learn the basics and you&#8217;ll be okay!</li>
<p></p>
<li><strong><u>Fill out your profile and introduce yourself.</u></strong> One of the coolest features of Wealthy Affiliate is that it&#8217;s a community. You need to join in if you want to have any chance at succeeding. Fill out your user profile then head to the forum to make an introduction post. Give a few details about who you are and what you wish to accomplish and you&#8217;ll be able to meet a ton of other cool Wealthy Affiliate members. You can even add them as friends. Let me know once you join because I&#8217;d love to hear from you. My username is IveTriedThat. </li>
<p></p>
<li><strong><u>There are no stupid questions.</u></strong> Honest! We all had to start somewhere. If you come across a concept you don&#8217;t understand, ASK someone about it. Ask a community member or send an email to Kyle or Carson. You can even send me a message! I promise you&#8217;ll get an answer. It&#8217;s best to be specific in your questions though.</li>
<p></p>
<li><strong><u>Set goals and celebrate your success.</u></strong> You&#8217;re about to start an online business from the ground up. You need to set achievable goals and work towards them. Start small and don&#8217;t focus on money right from the start. Your goals should largely knowledge based for the first few weeks. Set a goal to learn how to create your first website. Then set a goal on getting a few of your articles to show up on Google. Then set a goal to learn howto connect with advertisers. From there you can move up to monetary goals. Set a goal to make $1.50/per day (the cost of your Wealthy Affiliate membership), then $100/week, then $500/month and so on and so forth. Small and achievable goals are the absolute key to success.</li>
</ol>
