One of the Ambassadors said something about a Diamond Traffic bonus if I sign up for premium. I see nothing explaining what this is. There are links to it if you search for it, but it just redirects to the premium sign-up page. Doesn't give me the warm and comfy feeling :-( LOL

Go to the top center of this page--where you ask your questions --and type in "Diamond traffic Bonus". This a wealth of info on multiple and you will want to really plow into it.

Hi Charlie. Go to your mailbox (4 to the right of your affiliate sales tracker- blk box w/ airplane). You received an email from Kyle entitled "You Rock! Congrats (your name here)!" In that email is a link to the diamond traffic bonus. Hope this helps! :)

Also eager to have a look at this

Thanks everyone. I appreciate the help.

Hi Charlie. Do you see that white box at the top of your page with the star on the right hand end. Just type in diamond traffic program and enter. All the info you need comes up. Hope this helps. kind regards.

Hi Charlie,
I went premium 6 weeks ago now and got that link from Kyle straight away....maybe a little glitch in the system but alleo's got it for you now.

I think this it The Diamond Traffic Program

I'd sya hit the "Get started here" training. I haven;t done Affiliate Boot camp yet, can;t speak for that.

As a relatively new member I can say that over the past almost month the best sell that stands out is the package, meaning the overall value found here...

This value applies to and across a broad spectrum of the population... The people who have spent many thousands of dollars on traditional education and can't find a job or that retiree from the military or government... The impoverished who otherwise may never have the chance to improve their position in life... Especially it applies to the thousands who have wasted their time and money on other dubious if not outright fraudulent competing platforms...

You get the point... For these categories and many others, this program offers a means to eventual freedoms. Real value...

Freedom from the shackles of a regular 9 to 5 job, freedom from having 3 jobs to survive, freedom to have more time with loved ones, the freedom that comes with having your destiny in your own hands... All these are available if the principles and practices are followed as presented here.

The many instances of this value can be expanded on in describing this site to these many potential referrals, but for me this is the main thing that stands out and should be expressed to those contemplating joining Wealthy Affiliates.

As far as the thoughts of others here, they are all good points. People are all different however, and some will follow the suggested path lock step, while others will not...Certainly these are irritants but these things will happen...

In that regard, the good thing about having access to the entire syllabus and individual classes within each course is that when someone does jump ahead, they can go back if needed... Some will and some won't...

Personally I think this entire program should be evaluated and accredited by a traditional formal education panel or similar, at some level, whether it be in the state the program is based or perhaps by some authority at the National level such as a well known University or College..

Getting evaluated and accredited would offer a massive opportunity to get recognition on so many levels beyond the Internet world...I am sure a media blitz would follow...Wealthy Affiliate would be a name recognized like McDonald's...Other competitive programs that really aren't would come under additional scrutiny, and be exposed...

This really could happen...

The result would be a massive influx of new referrals, and the reach of this site could positively affect many more people. With accreditation, monies from tuition assistance programs at different levels could be used for some of these referrals to subsidize their education/participation in this program.

Sorry, a bit long winded here, Maybe dreaming a bit as well lol...but in a nutshell, and to reiterate, OVERALL VALUE is the ONE best selling point of Wealthy Affiliate, from my perspective!

I have to agree with Chris. I'll just add, your rank isn't going to bring the $$$ in so you can work from home. Spend most of your time going over the lessons, step by step, & incorporating them into your website. Don't spend most of your time writing, reading & commenting on blogs. Spend the majority of your time working on your website. The more you put into your website, the closer you become to being financially free.

Stop worrying about your rank here. It means nothing as far as your success is concerned. Also don't put too much time into posting blogs here. At least not at the expense of adding content to your own site.

Take Getting Started Course 1 and get you website up. Then go premium and continue your education. Learn by doing. Iʻve gotta take my own advice.

JeanL hit it on the head for me. Don't rush through the lessons and/or get ahead of yourself. And help and upport1
Bill

I think the community support is tremendous

Help n support

I see a lot of new people trying to jump ahead in lessons and then getting totally confused. My advice would be to follow the lessons in order and check off the action steps at the end of each lesson.

The community support, always someone there to help. I've made some wonderful friends here too. :)

This is something I need to learn about also. I have a Google plus but have never used it and I have a Facebook act. That's it for me. Looking for to the answers here

Great question Charlie,
I don't really know how to use them at all for businesses like ours so I'm looking forward to some great answers.... there's already been a few so should be very educational.
Thanks for posting.

I do! I have been using them successfully for almost 2 years with about 2,000 organic followers on each. They are not hard to learn and once you start using them for about 5-10 minutes each, every day or so, they become quite simple.

I am creating training on them right now. Loes has already listed the link to my training called "How to Use Twitter for Social Media Marketing"

I have another one I did for Pinterest, see below link, and I will be doing one for Google+ and Facebook in the near future. How to Use Pinterest to Promote Your Business -More Website Traffic

Can you be more specific?

Kyle also talks a lot about these mediums in the Get Started Here courses.

I do! You can learn from videos on Youtube or have one to one training which will cost of course.

Understand # &@ #dogs would search for anything with a #dogs tag. @name tells people who you are referring to in your post. I still forget to hashtag my posts and it is important because it lets people who are interested in you subject find your post.

In addition to Joseph How to Use Twitter for Social Media Marketing How to Use Pinterest to Interest Your Audience! RSS to Google+ Business Page with Hootsuite Backlinking with Digg and Reddit Success:)

John here gave you a great answer, I would also suggest you check out Robert's (Boomergp08 ) training and posts related to this subject ;))
Have a great day Charles

What would you like help with exactly?

Google+ is basically Google's version of Facebook.. However it's a bit more advanced and a bit different. Instead of grouping all your "friends" together. You can create circles and add friends into each, which keeps it much more organized. Google+ also just launched their "Community Pages" a while back, which is comparable to Facebook Fan Pages. But with the Community Pages, they are based on normally 1 topic or niche, and then have many users on the page. Feel other pro's and con's but I mean, I could write a book about Google+ or any of the other social media outlets. So if you have a specific question, ask about it :)

Twitter is a whole different ballgame. You can write a "Tweet" that can only be 140 characters long. You can follow people and have people follow you. The people you follow, their tweets will show up in your news feed. Etc. There's also a direct message system. Pretty basic stuff over all. I could write for days on it. # is used for HashTags..

Pinterest is more along the lines of one big database of pictures / memes / do it yourself stuff / recipes / anything you could want.

Over all, if you just type in any term in the search bar on top the page. There are countless articles, videos, webinars, on all 3 of those platforms.

I just gave you a simple run down.. As I mentioned. I could write a book on each. So many aspects
