Profit Lance vs Wealthy Affiliate

One of my 7 day course subscibers, John wrote to me wanting to know what I thought about Profit Lance in comparison to Wealthy Affiliate. He agreed to let me post his email so I did so below (its unedited).

Hi jay, I am up to page 6 of your program. I have opened a clickbank account and picked some topics. I didn't have a website to post them to. I probably should have waited until I was done with your course. I noticed you have a link to wealthy afflilate you send with the page. I have done some research and wealthy affilate is rated high on some list. How ever my research has uncoverd another program called profit lance. It is rated highly on some list. I am sure you have heard of them. I would be interested in knowing your opinion, if you have one, on profitlance. I know from my research that wealthy affilate and profitlance sound alot alike, yet profitlance is a lot cheaper to join. I would have sent for the profitlance course but I don't have a credit card and will have to send payment thru the mail, which I was going to do until I got your mail and received your program. Please get back with your opinion or knowledge on profitlance or any other advice.

My response:

Hello John,

I'm glad you asked about Profit Lance as I'm in the midst of doing a review and comparison about the two programs.

Profit Lance and Wealthy Affiliate are both highly rated programs but Wealthy Affiliate has everything Profit Lance has and more.

While there are quite a bit of success stories coming out of Profit Lance, they do lack some stuff that Wealthy Affiliate has.

For example, there is no discussion forum on Profit Lance so you'll have this feeling of being by yourself in your learning. Wealthy Affiliate has a discussion forum where you can ask for help when you get stuck or you come across something that you don't understand. This can speed up your progress and help you avoid a lot of costly mistakes.

Another thing Profit Lance lacks is the range of tools Wealthy Affiliate comes with.

Wealthy Affiliate has:
  • A website builder
  • Free website hosting for your website
  • A Clickbank research tool (easy to find which products are hot and which aren't)
  • A Sharing Zone (other members share tuturials, pdfs, videos)
  • WA Gold (Donate and recieve "gold" when you or other members contribute value)
  • Members Only Affiliate Program (sell 2 memberships and your's is "free")
  • A Keyword research tool
  • WA Jobs (Make money by doing simple jobs for other members)
  • Link Cloaker and tracker (Hide Affiliate links and see how many people clicked)
  • More added from time to time.
Profit Lance does have all these things but you can still use their system to make money - Wealthy Affiliate just makes it a lot more easier. In fact some of the members on Wealthy Affiliate have been members of Profit Lance and some of them use both memberships. I do recommend Profit Lance if you want a good foundation with internet marketing but you'll be missing out on all the benefits Wealthy Affiliate offers so I will recommend you sign up
with Wealthy Affiliate
at some point.

Some people are also wary that Profit Lance might be a scam. It most definitely is not. Here's a very good article that reviews and compare both programs.

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to send them to me. Just hit reply in any of my emails and ask away. (You have to be signed up to the course to do this.)
