Whats the best plugin for socail media. I want the users to be able to like and dislike posts,comment, and able to share post. What plugin can do all of these things?

There are several plugins that do that. I use "AddToAny". Pick one that also has a general button that allows a visitor to choose a social media icon that he/she has.

I heard Social Media Feather is a good one check it out: https://wordpress.org/plugins/social-media-feather/
Ultimate Social Media and Share Icons is also another good one:

Hey guys im just wandering to promote products online, do i need to set up taxes for the my websites? What do i need to do so i can run successful fully legal websites?

To be totally legit, where you can claim business expenses from having a home-based business, then yes, you need to go to your city and get a license, usually about $50.00 a year. My previous business was with eBay, buying, selling and shipping from home. I took it one step further and got a wholesaler license so that I could buy at wholesale prices and sell retail.
I no longer operate the eBay business so I am letting my state wholesaler license expire. The added benefits of going legit is that you can claim a percentage of your rent or mortgage interest, utilities,house insurance, repairs, some office expenses like computers, desks, furniture, paintings, paper, postage, and on and on. I hope this helps

Hi - I would recommend getting a local accountant to talk to.

I have one - and she knows about my country (UK) tax and national insurance, and I give her all my figures for the year (income/expenditure etc etc) and she produces my personal tax return, and that of my partnership business, and that of my partner.

If had a question like yours, I know she'd be able to answer it.

Use the experts to help you is my advice.

All the best, Mark

You need to check it out in your own state/country.

I think it is depend on your products you sell on your website. Correct? Anyone please correct me if I was wrong. Thank you. Darren

It really depend on where you live. We are world wide here and there are many different laws between different locations.
Here in the USA we just get a form sent to us from the affiliate managers with the total monies we took in on affiliate sales, and we must report other income totals that we took in also.

I see.

Thank you for your post. Ask your tax man
Ken

Speak to a qualified financial adviser in your own country

You would only need to collect taxes if they are purchasing directly from you. If you're just directing to a vendor's site, THEY collect any taxes due, as taxes are a function of the location where the product is actually sold.

I need help setting my site up, im wanting all users to be able to post a media video clip no more than 5 mins long and then your able to go to your user profile and then your able

If you want a service for uploading videos and you want to be this service, you can expect $1,000+ per month in hosting fees for one that has moderate success.

There are sites like vimeo, youtube, etc that do this service nicely and you might be better off embedding their videos on your site...that way you don't need to invest in a video platform to host all of these videos.

Where are you going to host your videos?

Well if the bandwidth is to much for WA since i am paying for web hosting within my premium membership. But if they cant handle the bandwidth usage i need to find a another hosting site, if so any recommendations?

Yes, of course there is training! Did you go to Affiliate Bootcamp?

I have gone through some of the bootcamp, What lesson in bootcamp tells you how to do whats explained above?

What you describe sounds like drop shipping. You would need to do the research and due diligence to find trusted wholesalers.

The drop shipping industry has a lot of scams, so you must know who you are dealing with, the cost margins, and be willing to deal with complaints, sourcing replacement parts, fulfillment errors, product returns and refunds. Too many headaches, in my opinion, compared to the worry-free Affiliate model. ~Jude

Yeah, I was definitely a victim of one of those drop shipping scams when I became a merchant. Companies like Doba or Simplx definitely overcharge their consumers. And inventorysource doesn't have much of a supply.

Thank you this was very helpful.

Thank you for your input i will definitely do more research on this topic and see if i can find one that will suits me or ill just do the regular way.

No problem.

Yes, purchasing through your own affiliate link is possible with certain affiliate programs whereas many will not allow it. In some cases if you use a different credit card/name than is under your account you will be able to do this, but affiliate programs do try to stop people from doing this naturally.

I know Amazon has several things in place to prevent affiliates from buying through their own affiliate links.

Thank you for your help. I will do more research on the topic and ill start calling different afiliate programs to see if they will allow this. If not ill just do it the regular way. Thank you for your support.

I don't think the Affiliate Programs will go for that you would have to ask them directly. Also if you do that you maybe liable for damaged or returns of product.

So you want to purchase a product from the affiliate that you are associated with? If so, then just go on the affiliates link and buy the product.
