The first point I need to make here, is that an online business is not only achievable, but becoming more and more common. Numerous people these days are becoming disenchanted with working for an employer, and therefore want to start their own online business. Live online business training video’s can boost your knowledge in this regard, and in quick time.
Another major reason for the growth in personal online businesses, is time. Or should I say, lack of it. In the current era people apparently lack the spare time needed to create an online business. This also coupled with the rate of inflation has made it necessary for dual incomes.
I’m sure we all know of families where both parents are working full time hours, resulting in having to put their children in before and/or after school care. Maybe this is you!
This lack of interaction with family is not what we were expecting when we made the decision to bring kids into the world, so what are the options.
Not everyone puts up with this. There is another option for those with a bit of motivation to escape the current grind.
The Business
I won’t go into too much detail about the actual business process here, as I have other articles outlining how this can be done. Such as to say that if you create a website that is engaging, full of valuable content and helps people solve issues, you will be on your way to a successful online career.

Here’s the Live training Bit!
As I’ve stated before, Wealthy Affiliate is how I began my online business, and I want to share with you 2 of the benefits of their program.
Live Online Business Training
Each Friday afternoon (U.S./Canada time), one of the guru’s within the Wealthy Affiliate family, conducts a live online business training session. It’s based on a different topic each week and runs for approximately 1+1/2 hours.
Luckily for me in Australia, as we’re so far ahead of U.S. time, I can tune in at midday on Saturday!
The fellow taking the training, Jay, is one of the ambassadors at WA, and if full of knowledge in everything to do with running an online business.
If you are living elsewhere in the world, or you’re unable to to attend the the live training, that’s no problem at all, as each training session is recorded and uploaded to the Wealthy Affiliate website so you can watch it in your own time.
Here’s a snapshot of how the recorded sessions are laid out within WA.
You are able to search through hundreds of theses live online business training recordings to find exactly what you are looking for.
I must encourage you to watch the training live though, as this will give you the opportunity to ask any questions you may have relating to that particular session. Jay sometimes takes questions during the training session, other times there is a Q & A discussion at the completion of the training.
Live Chat
The ‘Live Chat’ within WA has been recently upgraded to be more dynamic. If you are ever in need of a question being answered immediately, there are always members willing to help you out.
The image on the right shows the ‘Live Chat’ bar in the menu. If a green dot is displayed, this means a question has just been asked in the live chat room.
This is where you can hop on to Wealthy Affiliate, type in your question. Any other members that are online at the same time will see this green dot appear. They can then open up the chat, see the question and help you out if they know the solution.
The Live Chat was upgraded in April 2015 to accommodate this feature, which has made it become a very popular feature within WA.
Thoughts and Conclusion
I must admit, I wasn’t really convinced about the Live Chat, until this new feature became available. I use it quite regularly now and together with the Live Video Classes, it’s an absolutely huge bonus that is incorporated into Wealthy Affiliate.
The ability to have a question answered immediately is extremely beneficial. But to also have live training sessions where you can ask an expert on the spot, is a precious advantage. You will not find many programs that offer this type of coaching, unless you pay well over the odds for a mentor.

I have been following Jay’s webinars for almost a year now and it has helped me improved my business blogging skills in many ways. He offers practical tips and advice for beginners and if you diligently apply them on your online business, you will see results. Not to mentioned, he’s also very fun to listen to 🙂
Thanks to some of his techniques, I have seen a marked increased in my web traffic lately.
That’s awesome Cathy. You’re correct, he does have a style of presenting that is great for beginners, he’s not rushed so keeping up with his training is easy. Although I must admit, there has been times when I wish he’s hurry it a bit. This is why it’s great that the webinars are recorded, and you can watch them in your own time. Thanks for dropping by Cathy.
The modern day of working from home has begun to change the way people live. Working from home for parents has made raising their children more accommodating. It can also be used as a way to teach children things like language, business, finance, and even advertising. The use of the WA platform really changes the way we do things online.
Spot on Ken. You point out some of the extra benefits of this new age of working from your own environment. My world has changed and even though I want a great education for my kids, I’ll also encourage them to learn the online training at WA. Great skills for life.
