Awesome! thanks for giving me the idea and with the training we receive here I will be trying diversifying my income. We can all use a side hustle right? ;)

You are welcome Bijan. As for the requirement I would either find another opportunity or in most cases I would use my published website as proof of my experience.

It is a process that you have to continue to work through, because even if you do produce a record of your experience is no guarantee of acceptance. What types of opportunities are you trying to get?

It is important to get your website up and running first. When applying for any freelance dealing with website content writing and SEO, you website is proof of experience and a valid published writing sample, which most advertisers request.

I hate to suggest this, but perhaps it is theme related?

Wow! 400 posts/pages? That is a lot.

According to PageSpeed Insights anything over 86 is a good speed.

If your speeds are in the 60s and 70s you will need more speed.

Do you have the SiteSpeed Accelerated activated on your website? Judging by your current speeds I would guess that you don't.

I highly recommend SiteSpeed. What Carson and the tech guys at WA created here is an awesome way to increase our website speed and thus our Google rankings.

\u2b50\ufe0f Actually -- it's quite brilliant! ... it's like a mirror image of the whole internet -- WA platform ... or is it more like a mini operating replica? ... just getting my brain around it ... this Platform is amazing ...

... thanks kindly for all your helpful hints & tips ...

... going to re-visit everything -- conceptually this is brilliant ! ... i think ... \ud83d\ude0a

Great info! Thanks!
Do we need to Google fetch our WA blog post?

Very informative as always ! So I pressed the like button, but other than copy and pasting the affiliate link, how do you go about sharing good tutorials like this one easily ? I don’t see a share button ?

Do you have a Windows computer or an Apple?

Mary, have you read all 4 lessons in this training by Rob (boomergp08)?

One he talks about is Pixabay, which offers many free images for commercial use without attribution.

I use this training a lot - thanks.
It appears that MesoColumn is no longer supported by WordPress.
Do you have a recommendation for one with similar features?

Hi, Robert,
I'm stuck with theme selection. I want it to be calm and simple, as you say. Unfortunately, I cant find MesoColumn in the theme search now. Do you know of anything similar that is available?
I don't like this menu icon on the sites, prefer the regular way of small tabs to clock on.
What do you think of HitMag theme vs Hiero?
Thanks in advance

What is the benefit to a healthcare niche regularly posting original articles on WA instead of posting on the niche site?

Well written Boomer! I am new on WA still figuring out how things work in this world. I would like to know if my content on WA needs to be original or duplicate of my niche site?

I think you misunderstood. I don't want all these image sizes. They appear under 'EWWW'. I think my Theme chooses these sizes. See attached image. There's the option to disable them.
I only want the original size and the thumbnail size. I just want to know which section I'd add the image size in. 'Media settings' or 'EWWW settings'?

Great trainng Robert.

Can you tell me something. I also size my images to 800x500 for feature images before uploading. However, I use Divi theme and the featured images on a blog roll are large by default. I have some code to make these images reduced by 40% on my home page blog roll.
So, I suppose they become thumbnails. I set my 'Media' sizes to 0,0,0 as you suggested. But I want these thumbnails created at the 40% size, which is approximately 320x200. So, do I set this size in the 'Media' setings or 'EWWW Image Optimizer' settings?
I also have all these sizes in my EWWW 'Resize Setting' tab.
et-pb-post-main-image - 400x250
et-pb-post-main-image-fullwidth - 1080x675
et-pb-portfolio-image - 400x284
et-pb-portfolio-module-image - 510x382
et-pb-portfolio-image-single - 1080x9999
et-pb-gallery-module-image-portrait - 400x516
et-pb-post-main-image-fullwidth-large - 2880x1800

I assume I should also tick 'Disable Creation' checkbox for all these.

Any advice would be grateful.

Hi Robert,

I went through this training quite a while ago, perhaps when you first posted it, it did make sense to me and bookmarked it as I knew that one day it would come handy.

At the time, I wanted to remain focused on the Bootcamp training before exploring new techniques.

Since a couple of months, the number of new referrals that I am getting has seriously dropped. Appart from a couple of websites that I have created, I have been promoting affiliate products extensively on social platforms, that includes WA affiliate links.

Till now it worked very well (till about 2 months ago). Then I came across this training of yours, which answered my question: Why has it stopped working?.. I found the answer in your training: the social platforms I am posting on are blocking my posts!

So, I decided to give your idea a try. I am now working on two new small sites. It is indeed very easy to do.

I have a question though:

Following what you are saying that we don't need to worry about SEO, ranking, producing lots of content, etc., I am assuming that we also don't need to worry about duplicate content, right? Not that I intend to copy from other sites anyway, but it is just to know what your think.

I wish you the very best and thanks for producing this useful training which I am sure is very useful for many members at Wealthy Affiliate.

Hi Rob,
thanks a lot for this tutorial. It is very helpful and practical. I would like to implement this approach of building a mini website for this purpose!

The reason for it is the same: I have been blocked several times already from Google+ when posting WA affiliate links! Now I know the reason.

Wealthy affiliate offers so many great tutorials and posts that I want to share on Google+.

I would like to ask you, that when I am ready to start building this small website, and if I would need, can I contact you for possible advice?

That would be great!

Thanks,
Best regards!

Thank you for this, very helpful. I have been struggling with this because I have read and learnt a lot about making money online, but have never actually done it for various reasons. I do enjoy the subject and want to go into personal development, life coaching and internet business, that kind of thing. so I wasn't sure if I should do that and take the bootamp course. After reading this it sounds like I should leave the personal development stuff for now, and come back to it later, is that rite?

Would you know Sir if image links and text links have the same affect on your ranking, I was wondering if one was better than the other to be using?
