The problem is you’re trying to compare the videos and training provided by IRN with Wealthy Affiliate when there is really no comparison to be made. IRN provides bare bones training to teach you how to promote the program to others, but it is very minimal and much of it is even outdated. They also only teach quick lazy methods like using Craigslist to advertise and don’t provide any real training on starting up an actual business, rather everyone is promoting the exact thing with the exact same capture pages, email, and phone follow ups. WA, on the other hand, will teach anyone how to build an online business in whatever area they choose using sustainable methods and building their own unique brand. Your business is not based on CPA sign up referrals, it’s all about helping people in an area you actually care about.

I’ve heard the Facebook comparison before but it really is much more than that. I don’t know what you mean when you say you’re considered an outsider… yes, you lose your ability access the live chat, comment and ask questions after your first 7 days of signing up as a starter member, but you don’t lose your account, your websites or any of the training materials. The fact they even give you the privelage of all that for completely free is pretty generous, but it’s really meant as a preview so you can “try before you buy”. At least you didn’t have to put down any money to decide it wasn’t for you.
