Profit Lance Vs Wealthy Affiliate - a clear winner!
Posted by Gale10 in Uncategorized on February 11th, 2009
Hi there,
In my last post I was extolling the virtues of Profit Lance. But I have come across some drawbacks, sadly.
I think probably the biggest problem with Profit Lance is the fact that every person gets the same sites to practise on. Although it’s explained that the site are mainly to practise on, in the blurb they say it’s all you need to make money online. I don’t think that is strictly true.
First of all, if you want one of the 150 sites to use adsense on, you need hosting and a domain - which isn’t free. Also the templates do look rather dated. If 1,000 people all have access to the same sites, Google is never going to rank them because of the duplicate content. The few sites that a set up as clickbank affiliate sites are identical and you cannot add any more information to them, to make them different. Again, that’s an SEO nightmare.
I think for information, Profit Lance is good. Michael Andrews has the right idea, to teach information and back it up with projects. But although I thought at first he was over delivering, now I don’t necessarily agree.
I can tell you something else as well, which is a little bit creepy. Apparently Michael Andrews was previously a member of Wealthy Affiliate. The set out of WA is almost identical to Profit Lance, and Wealthy Affiliate have instruction and then tasks. They have a keyword tool, and Profit Lance has a keyword tool. WA has a forum - which is part of the reason it is so brilliant - and Profit Lance doesn’t.
I think really that Profit Lance is a poor man’s version, and inferior one at that, to Wealthy Affiliate.
The reason Wealthy Affiliate is so good is often touted as the forum. But how come a forum is so good, so helpful? Lots of people of course are genuinely altruistic and that’s fantastic, but at Wealthy Affiliate there is another reason.
A genius came up with the idea of WA gold. When a person starts at Wealthy Affiliate they get five pieces of virtual gold, and they can give it out to people who help them. No-one has to pay for the gold, and I am guessing you get more gold every month. But if you are helpful and you do get gold - you can change it for real money. So being helpful has a non-altruistic benefit also.
I think this is part of the reason the forum is so positive and helpful; not the only reason certainly, but part of the reason because it encourages an ethos of cameraderie and friendship which has positive vibes of it’s own.
I told you in my last post that Profit Lance is rumoured to be changing to a monthly task. Well, that is the only “draw-back” to Wealthy Affiliate. I say draw-back in “” because I do believe that it is worth the money. For instance, one man earned over $500 in his first three weeks. I do not know how much he knew before he signed up, but seems like a good result to me. Maybe he got lucky - it’s more likely he applied what he had learned on the 3 weeks of the 8 week course. And this is not an isolated case by any means.
I would urge anyone to have a look at Wealthy Affiliate. You can click on my link and take a tour which costs nothing, and I think most people would be amazed at the resources that are put in. Not only is the training superb, (thats why they call it Wealthy Affiliate University) but also there is free hosting, a website builder so you do not need to know HTML, and NicheQ which is an amazing resource in itself. It contains all the information you need for a particular niche and you get to pick a new niche each month.
I think the amount of money you can save by getting the free hosting, the site builder, and the information on new niches is worth the cost alone. When you then throw into the mix the forum of skilled marketers ready to help, then the value of the product shoots sky high.
Wealthy Affiliate. Click the link, have a look for yourself.
Best wishes,
Ruth

Hello!
For anyone interested in Internet Marketing there is a product that I hugely recommend. When I say product - please be assured this is not a single item at all, more like a complete groundwork covering all the basics of internet marketing.
It covers Affiliate Marketing, Google Adense, Information Products, Getting Traffic, Writing Sales Copy, and SEO Tactics. Each subject is clearly explained, and there are also explainatary videos that go along with it.
More importantly, each section has a number of projects which you go over, and you also have 15 websites that are pre-built for you personally, which you can use to make money (which is yours) plus use to do the projects on.
The person that wrote this, Michael Andrews, is available to email at any time. I personally have not emailed him,but having done some research on this, the reply time varies from 15 mins to a few hours.
The information on the course is constantly updated, and the projects are organised so as you work through the projects you get a few more, so you work a your own pace until you have completely covered the basics.
The cost of the course covers you for a lifetime of updates, once you are a member that’s it, you are always welcome back to catch up with any new information that comes out.
If you are thinking, wow this has to be a four figure price tag, you are going to be very pleased and surprised. The price is very reasonable for the amount of product that you get - over deliver is the term here!
Be warned! I have heard that soon this plan is going to be switched from lifetime membership to monthly membership which I am sure still would be totally worth it - but if you want to get it at a once only price then CLICK HERE!
To your success!
Best wishes,
Ruth

Things are chugging along ok. I have found a great ebook about the psychology of customers which was expensive at $107, but nevertheless very interesting.

Today I want to talk about one of the tools that I have used to get my traffic so far. Over the last couple of weeks I have been driving lots of traffic to this blog, but I haven’t had the sign-ups that I have wanted.![Reblog this post [with Zemanta]](http://img.zemanta.com/reblog_e.png?x-id=d6e66c0a-564f-4493-9e8c-dbbe842983c0)
