So you’ve heard about Wealthy Affiliate Bootcamp, but what is Wealthy Affiliate Bootcamp about? First of all, let me say that I am a Premium member of Wealthy Affiliate (WA), and I am about to give you a very detailed look into what WA Bootcamp is all about.
When you sign up as a Premium member in WA, although the entire WA training library is available to you, you basically have one of two training paths you will want to follow. Either Online Entrepreneur Certification (OEC), or WA Bootcamp. OEC is geared toward learning to create a business in ANY niche market and Bootcamp is geared towards Affiliate Marketing and WA itself.
What Is Wealthy Affiliate (WA) Bootcamp
WA Bootcamp is a series of 70 lessons broken out into 7 phases of training that walks you through the process of how to create a business in a niche related to the promotion of Wealthy Affiliate.
Well, that sounds great, but what does it actually cover. You might think that it’s going to walk you through creating a website, which is true, but it’s a whole lot more than just creating a website.
WA Bootcamp starts you off with identifying your niche as it relates to WA. Before you even choose a domain name, the training starts you off with the most basic tasks of building your business foundation. This is key because without knowing the direction you’re going to be heading, it will be very difficult to create a relevant website promoting WA.
There are 7 Phases in total, and I am going to cover each one in detail. So be prepared, this is the real deal!
Phase 1
Phase 1 Tasks
- Choosing your direction: Your Niche
- Creating a Brand: Your business identity. Like Walmart is known for its low prices and a variety of products.

As you can see, WA Bootcamp is the most in-depth training you’ll find anywhere in the world on the topic. It walks you through each step in the process, gives you individual tasks to complete in every phase of the training.
So, what is Wealthy Affiliate Bootcamp about? This is hardcore, action-packed, in your face training designed to take you from concept to build in 0 to 60 fashion.
Who Is WA Bootcamp For?
Wealthy Affiliate Bootcamp is not for the timid. It’s designed for those who are ready to make a commitment to earn some real money online. This is a long term investment in your future. It will require hard work, dedication, consistency, and desire to succeed above all else.
If you are ready to stop dabbling in Affiliate Marketing and start doing it the right way, this is the program for you. However, if you cannot commit to seeing it through to the end, no matter what, then I would advise you to take the OEC training instead.
Your Realistic Journey Ahead
What could your future look like a year, 2, or 5 years down the road? I’m not saying this is what YOU will accomplish because I do not know you, your work ethic, or your personal goals. On the other hand, this is realistic if you put in the work, stay the course, and don’t give up.
This is meant to give you an idea of where you *could* be, not where you will be. Notice the earnings potential varies quite a bit, this is because we all do things differently, and at our own pace. However, the potential is there for you to be wildly successful.

PS. Please leave your comments and questions below and I will be happy to get back with you.
If you are a complete newbie and no next to nothing about affiliate marketing, would you still recommend wa bootcamp or would it be better to start with oec as that seems to be the basic course. How often is WAs Bootcamp course updated? I really like how it is laid out from other courses I have tried, is the cost expensive?
Hi Cathy. The training does get updated. As far as which path to go, I think it really depends on whether you want to focus on promoting WA or choosing other niches to promote. If you have the dedication and persistence you could certainly go the Bootcamp route. It starts you off with the basics. If you get stuck there are many ways to get help. Cheers Michael
Hey there,
As you have stated Wealthy Affiliate Bootcamp is all about the money making niche, and especially promoting the Wealthy Affiliate platform to other internet users. I haven’t followed this course- I picked the other course “Online Entrepreneurship Certification”- because I picked a different niche. From what I can see through your description, this one is much more effective and detailed than the other one, in my opinion.
Even if I might not want to get into the make money/promote WA niche, would you suggest I should go through this program? Will it benefit my site?
Thanks!
Marios
Hi Marios. There are aspects of the Bootcamp course that are totally geared to the make money niche. So, I don’t think I would recommend trying to merge the two. If there is some aspect of the Bootcamp you think could apply to your niche that is not covered in the OEC I would ask first so you don’t end up going down the wrong path. Hope that helps. Cheers, Michael
My past failures in Internet marketing have delivered severe blows on my self-confidence. There was even a time that I no longer want to go online and just settle on doing traditional types of businesses offline. But then, never forgetting how my friends have made money online, I found myself doing online marketing again. But still, I lack the confidence and doubting myself if I can make that amount of money have illustrated in this blog post about Wealthy Affiliate Bootcamp.
What do you suggest for me to do to regain my self-confidence? Once I regain it, I will join Wealthy Affiliate and participate in that Bootcamp.
Hi Gomer. We should always learn from our failures. Anything is possible if we are persistent in our vision. If you have never read Napoleon Hill’s – Think And Grow Rich, I would recommend reading it. Although it was written in the 1930’s the basic principles of success are still the same. Take a look at my article at https://affiliatecash101.com/h… There’s a link at the bottom where you can download the ebook. Thanks for your comments. Michael
Hi
Thank you for such an in-depth tutorial about the wealthy affiliate boot camp. I am just researching about starting to do affiliate marketing so I can earn some money on top of my 9-5 job. I also read another review about the wealthy affiliate platform, and I must admit it sounds like a great platform to start my affiliate marketing.
Can I ask how long have you been with wealthy affiliate and do you make money?
Hi Garry. You’re welcome. I joined WA back in 2008, quit for awhile, then re-joined. It’s, in my opinion, the Go-To place if you are serious about earning money with Affiliate Marketing. The training is there, the support is there, along with all the other great benefits. And yes, I do make money. Thanks
