Wealthy Affiliate, The Open Education Project has been a massive update. The education platform has seen the most activity per user login since the inception of Wealthy Affiliate. This tells us a few things, first, WA is getting used like never before. It is far more integrated and members are communicating much more efficiently.

Secondly, people are getting used to change, which is hard sometimes and I thank everyone for grasping onto the idea of an open education network so quickly. Everything has changed and just yesterday you may have noticed that we have moved away from our wealthyaffiliate.com website (read about it here).

This is just a temporary, smaller iteration of something that is much MUCH bigger and that is about ONE short month away.

So, today we want to make another MASSIVE ANNOUNCEMENT!

Next month (early to mid May), Wealthy Affiliate is going to be FREE. Free to try for 10 full days, full access, full everything. No exclusions. No credit card required.

How long is this launch going to last?

Forever. This is not a temporary thing.

In other words, we are taking the SELLING out of Wealthy Affiliate. You can now send WA to your friends, your family, your list, your social networks, your forums, and tell them to join Wealthy Affiliate, the most interactive business community for FREE.

Touch, feel, use...network, communicate, get help, build a website...do whatever, try it out in any way that you like it. If they like it, they can become a member. If they don’t, then don’t join WA.

You need to remember that most people out there have bought at least one product in the past, chances are it was an e-book, a mentoring program, a piece of software, or another product.

The biggest hurdle affiliates have had over the years is letting people know exactly what we offer at WA...it has been tough to explain because of its size and people associate it with an industry that is riddled with scams and products that are subpar.

But now it is free, you can just tell people to sign-up and if they like it, they can join.

How This Will Work?

People are going to have the option to join for FREE for 10 days or to join as a full ride member for $47 Gold Package (only one pricing option to take the decision out of it). If they join for free, they will simply have to login using their Facebook account. This process literally takes a couple of seconds and they will be in, active, and using WA...and they will be YOUR referral.

After the 10 day free test drive is up, people are going to be given the option to either join for $47, or they will not be able to access the system any longer. We believe that this is going to convert very well, and that the initial free conversion is going to convert like crazy!

And WA Will Also Become Exclusive! (Invite Only)

During the first week of the launch Wealthy Affiliate, is going to be wide open. Weeks after, people are going to be required to come through an invite to join Wealthy Affiliate, and guess what, an affiliate link is going to be considered an invite!

This means that without an invite, people will not be able to get free access. This is going to be another very powerful tool for promoting WA. :)

How many referrals do you think you could get giving WA away for FREE?

I am sure many of you can get 10 with no problem, many will be able to get 100+ and I am betting some of you might even be able to top 1,000 within the first week or two alone. People are going to join, get to use our system, and realize there is nothing like WA out there in the Internet business education world.

Think of your iPhone or Smartphone. You don’t typically buy a product like that without going to the store to be able to use it. Why wouldn’t we do the same thing with Wealthy Affiliate. Why wouldn’t we let our member’s promote us in a way that allows their referrals to test the service first without any financial obligation to see if they like it.

We think they should.

When is this going to happen?

WA is approximately a month away from being FREE. You are a month away from the biggest opportunity.

How hard is it to give away access to something as cool as WA for FREE? It is a pretty easy sell, actually, it is not a sell. It is going to be as simple as letting people know about a product.

Exciting times are ahead. Start ramping up your campaigns now, start working on your list, happy times are ahead for members looking to earn through WA. Everyone is going to be able to create a full time business simply giving away something for free.
