Hi, I’m Shafna
I started with online surveys, hoping they were an easy way to earn money.
After spending countless hours for just a few dollars, I realised I was building nothing for my future. Frustrated, I began searching for a smarter way to earn online. That’s when I discovered Wealthy Affiliate, although I was highly sceptical at first. Joining changed my perspective and showed me that building a real passive online income was actually possible. Now I run Pickyaura.com which is based on Family & Parenting Lifestyle.

What Other Wealthy Affiliate Members Have Achieved!
Wealthy Affiliate has helped thousands of people build online businesses, and the success stories shared within the community are proof of that. I’ve included a few examples below, but they represent only a fraction of the achievements members celebrate every day. Once you become a member, you’ll gain access to a thriving community where people regularly share their wins, lessons learned, and business growth, providing both inspiration and proof that the system works when applied consistently.
It came from three simple strategies that I have followed for years. These strategies work across niches, business models, and skill levels because they focus on fundamentals that do not change.
Wealthy Affiliate has all the tools needed to build out this foundation. A strong brand creates trust and trust creates revenue.
I came here to Wealthy Affiliate as a total newbie with no experience. But thanks to Wealthy Affiliate training and community. I bought 4 Properties in Morocco (All giving me recurring passive income) Bought my dream car Traveled & lived in so many countries, (the country where I lived the longest is Hungary (Budapest specifically) for 5 years!)
I was doubting whether I could make 1k USD a month, but I had one day when I made 60k USD (in one day).
WOW WA!!! The new platform looks GREAT! Yeah, I know most of you are used to it already but this is my first day/night on the new platform. I’ve been busy growing and earning more money in my niche and thus it has made me lazy in getting back into the community.
I was making $3,000.00 per month in my niche two years ago and now I am making close to $4K per month. Earning passive income is FUN!.
After 11 years inside the platform, I can confidently say Wealthy Affiliate is legitimate, but it rewards patience and skill-building, not shortcuts. I recommend it because it holds up under pressure.
- I joined without a laptop.
- I struggled with payments.
- I left and came back.
- I made my first money late.
- I dealt with bans, lawsuits, and Google updates.
In the over 6 years that I have been a member of our Wealthy Affiliate (WA) Community, I have grown so much that I find it very hard to visualize the old me anymore. That October night in 2019 when I literally stumbled upon WA’s website changed me in priceless ways.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is affiliate marketing a legitimate way to earn income online?
Yes. Affiliate marketing is a legitimate business model used by companies around the world. When you recommend products or services and someone makes a purchase through your referral link, you may earn a commission. The key is creating helpful content and building trust with your audience rather than chasing quick wins.
Can a complete beginner start an online business?
Absolutely. Most successful website owners started with little or no experience. The important thing is having access to the right training, support, and a step-by-step roadmap. Many of the concepts may seem overwhelming at first, but they become much easier when broken down into manageable steps.
Is Wealthy Affiliate worth it for beginners?
In my experience, Wealthy Affiliate is one of the most beginner-friendly platforms available because it combines training, website-building tools, hosting, and community support in one place. Rather than trying to piece together information from multiple sources, beginners can follow a structured learning path and get help when they need it.
Can you really make money with Wealthy Affiliate?
Yes, many members have built successful websites and online businesses using the training and tools provided by Wealthy Affiliate. However, success is not guaranteed and results vary from person to person. Like any business, it requires learning new skills, creating valuable content, and staying consistent over time.
