Truely speaking, it's take time, and how fast you are to learn.

Hi - that is impossible to answer as everybody works at their own pace. Some people may understand the training straight away and have unlimited time to spend on it. Others may need to watch a video several times before they get it and only have 1 hour per day.

As regards making money, you are unlikely to see any income for at least 3 months and more realistically it would be 6 months.

It is just the same as any other business, you are building for the future. Just because it is online doesn't make it any quicker.

I suppose it depends on what a person thinks of and wants as support.

Some people might be happy to get some Likes on a blog they post here. This gives a feeling or community and at least they know someone took the time to read what they wrote and even give it "approval".

Others might want answers to their general questions. Maybe they just have doubts about their abilities or just need some clarity or encouragement.

Others may want answers to technical problems or marketing questions or business concerns.

Others may want a higher form of support actually working with other people as they all build their own businesses.

Others might want a personal mentor to work with them and guide them.

And still others might want to team up with other people and build websites together. Truly working together as a team forming a business partnership.

So... it all depends on what you are looking for. I listed these levels of support in the order of what seems strongest to weakest or at least most common to least common here.

You've gotten some varied answers below, Charles! Sometimes you might get a lot of support, and other times, perhaps not so much, it can vary by external factors as well!

Enjoy your weekend!

If ever you have any questions you need support with you can simply post them via your questions page here: https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/cb59/questions

Your whole network will be notified & they'll be published to the whole community so you'll definitely get support :)

What kind of support are you looking for? I know everyone may have a different definition of support, this is why I am asking. I have great support in my network. If I have questions, they are quick to answer. We read each other's posts on WA and learn a lot from those posts. We encourage each other daily. I have never been a part of a network that has supported me so much.

I haven't found that to be the case really. I have gotten incredible support from my WA network. I'm pretty new here but I'll bet you'll get some great ideas for how to find that support.

Best wishes for success!

Hi Charles,

I can't speak for themes because I don't use them, but for plugins here are some things to think about:

As a general principle, I look for paid or premium plugins, or the free versions with an upgrade option. This is because the plugin developer is more likely to support a plugin that is generating revenue and the plugin is more likely to be properly coded from the outset.

With that in mind, here are three principles I follow:

1. The first priority is to check that the plugin is compatible with the latest version of WordPress. If it’s not, choose another!

2. The second priority is to check how many installations there are. I generally will not install a plugin that has less than 20,000 installations.

3. The third priority is to look at the rating profile. You clearly want the number of 5-star ratings to be as high as possible, but beware of any plugin that has only 4 or 5 ratings, all of them 5-star: this could be the result of the plugin author and 4 of their friends providing a bit of marketing activity!

All this information is on the page for each plugin on the WordPress site, which you can see in the screenshot below.

Cheers,

Martin.

The fact that WA is promoting these is enough for me. Of course you need to find out which theme fits your niche best.

No difference from a parent or any theme. You treat them the same.
