Ok WA family, I need some fresh ideas. I have done all the suggestions that I have received from asking the WA community. I have verified my website with Google, copied and pas

It looks to me like you gave Google too long a URL. It should be just https://retirefinanciallysecure.org, instead without the wp_admin, etc.

Thanks for the reply. That is the weird thing, I did not give them that URL. I copied and pasted their code into my HTML and that is the URL they keep coming back with.

Go figure. Perhaps support can help you out.

I am no admirer of Adsense, so I cannot help you on that...other than to say, "Get out of it!"

So this may or may not be something... But when I click on that it takes me to a log in. Should it not just be https://retirefinanciallysecure.org/ and none of the added admin stuff? I'm just learning so my thought could be all wrong, lol.

I thought that was strange also, I will look into it when I get home tonight. Thanks for your reply.

Bruce

I can only tell you I am not a fan of Google or their AdSense. Nothing but trouble and very difficult to work with. Sorry I can't help. I have gone to Bing and Facebook and use my own products, ClickBank products or other affiliate products.

Ed

Thanks for the reply, I may just do the same thing.

WA Affiliate Program

Hello WA family. Just wondering if anyone had any suggestions on setting up the automatic referral messages when a new referral signs up.
Thank you in advance for any help</

Hey Bruce, Loes great training will help : If you have autoresponder, you can set email follow-up messages:

Do you have an email account set up with a autoresponder if not get an email with an auto responder or you can write the response to each one or you can do what I do, I use Google for everything you can bulk send emails with them so if they are subscribed to your email you can send them email that way or use mailchimp as well

Thank you for replying to my question. Yes, I have set up an email with WA, I take it that it connects with the auto responder automatically or do I need to connect manually to my WA email address.

Thank you so much for your help.

Bruce

Hey there Bruce and Brenda, I've set up my auto messages already... and this is the idea I had for what the content would be...

Take a look at the messages that you received from Kyle and Carson when you signed up. You would have received messages from them or from your 'upline' in the first day or so...

I took those messages and created my own version of those messages around what I wanted to say ...

They make so much sense and you can really put your point across about who you are and that you are their personal coach when they need help.

I hope that helps guys,

Cheers,

Jacqueline

Hope you got that rest you needed

Hi BManor, first, I also tried several sociable plugin, but only made my site clutter and made me confuse.
I took Kyle suggestion and add sociable plugin ( tweet, like, google +) is work best for me.

Hope this help.
Wish you all the best!

So I guess you are saying to add them separately if I am understanding correctly?

Thank you for your response

I'm at a loss, also...but perhaps after a good night's sleep your mind will stop spinning and you'll find it!...

Press On!

What was it about WA that made you realize this was where you needed to be?

What intrigues you the most about WA?

I am looking for feed back that made you realize

WA is for everybody who wants to create a website, who want to earn some money with affiliate marketing and who want a community which gives them the help they need and want.

WA was the end of a very long search through all of the so-called "work-at-home-and-make- $1000-a-day" schemes...they were ALL scams...I did not find this in WA...the training and insistence on "community" within the members is very comforting and supportive...ultimately, it will become whatever a member chooses to make of it...that's all there is to it...

Press On!

Arthur

Thank you for your reply. I have also been through many disappointments. With WA I am getting the support and training needed to ensure my success..

Great question Bruce,

I realized it was for me on the 1st day of trying the free trial.

2 days after I joined Premium WHY?

Working online part time and being misled, misguided and outright scammed over a 5 year period, could have been enough to make me quit the whole idea.

Fortunately for me, the entrepreneurial spirit inside me would not let me quit and kept me searching.

Of all the time online (all be it only part time) I never achieved what I have from WA

- I have 2 websites ranking in Search Engines with a trickle of traffic but the sites are less than 2 months old.

- I have received so much, help, support, and guidance from the WA Fam

- I have managed to help other members with the knowledge I gained from WA Training

- I have received website design advice, from company owners (THAT NEVER USUALLY HAPPENS)

THATS WHY WA = AWESOME

Thank you for your reply. You caught on to a good thing quicker than I did. I have also been scammed or left in the dark many time. I was very skeptical when I found WA, I thought I had good reason to. I signed up in 2015 and just recently upgraded to premium, my only regret is that I waited so long.

Yeah the Premium benefits unlocks so much more greatness within WA - Well done on upgrading and now that you have WA, like me you dont have to be scammed or left in the dark anymore.

We only need WA to succeed no need to buy anything else now

I joined and stayed with Wealthy Affiliate because,
1. WA offers the best training for beginners
and seasoned marketers alike.
I came here in 2014 with quite a bit on knowledge
I have since learned a lot that I thought I already knew.

2. This community, there is not a better community online.
I have seen many and this is the most helpful by far.

There are many benefits that I will not go into here.
Ken Pringle

Thank you for you reply. I agree 110% on all points you stated out. There is nothing out there that compares to WA.

Just some facts, :-)

I came to love Wealthy Affiliate because of the high level of interactions between members. I've been through various training programs before and some even had forums or online communities. But Wealthy Affiliate is unique in how it incentivizes interaction and adding value to the conversation. So help is always one question away.

Thank you for your reply. So true in everything you say. The community is just one of the best aspects of WA. I can wake up at 2:00 knowing I will get help in a timely manner. There is nothing out there that can compare to WA.

What is the benefit or purpose of having social media icons on your site if there is one?

Great question Bruce

What I have found in my experience online is, when I have seen something I like, or other see something they like, an urge takes over us to share with others.

Having a social share button means most people can just share with a couple of clicks

The easier you make things to share the more likely they will be.

Think about the last time you saw a youtube video you really enjoyed did you share it?

I think they can play a big part and should be implemented on your sites.

At first, you may not see much, but once your traffic reach grows and more people are visiting, more people will wanna share your stuff and making this easy for them to do with a few clicks will be very beneficial

Thank you so much for the reply and clearing up this question, It makes complete sense now.

No problemo

Hey Bruce,

Doing a quick Google search for "benefits of social icons on website" (without the quotation marks, of course), I found this helpful post: http://coremediadesign.co.uk/blog/id/icons-web-design among several others to choose from

Thank you very much for the reply, I will do the search.

I feel social media icons for sharing are important on a website. When I see content on a site I want to share I like when there's a social share button, cause it makes it easier. If a site doesn't have these then I usually don't share from that site. So from my point of view, you could be missing out on traffic from social sharing.

Additionally, I like when sites have social media icons connecting to their own social accounts, cause then I can follow them and keep up to date on sites like twitter, facebook etc.

As you can see, social media icons could make a difference to how users interact with your site.

Hope that helps,
Steph

Thank you so much for the reply and the clear explanation. Makes complete sense.

No worries, glad I could help!

Hi BManor, social icons make your posts easy to share, create more reach, engagement and better ranking in Google.

Hope this help.
Wish you all the best!

Thank you so much for your reply. Did not realize it would help with ranking also. Guess I will be adding the.
