When I started the Affiliate Bootcamp training, I tried to share on FB by following the instructions given. I got a message saying that my computer was infected with malware an

Make sure is is not a Ransom virus, otherwise,, you may have to clean your system, flat to zero, then reinstall everything.

Thanks for this info. I hope it isn't that bad. Yikes!

It sounds like your laptop has a virus that you will need to get rid of before FB will allow you access. I would have someone look into removing it from your laptop ASAP before it does even more damage,

Keyword, Niche and Market Research
Updated

When I was doing a keyword search through the WA keyword tool, I used a set of keywords that yielded 59 results but nothing about what page it would be on. What does this mean?

This is not necessarily good. You could take the closest keyword the keyword tool found to your original keyword and hit the "dig" button which will generate another list of possible keywords. You can do that until you found what you are looking for.
I hope this will help you!

Thanks for the help. It does help me.

You are most welcome. I really don't know that much but you where lucky because I just worked through the same problem myself!

The keyword tool does not tell you what page your keyword/article is going to land on if that is what you mean.

It just tells you the average amount of monthly searches and how many other pages you will be competing with for that particular keyword.

This has helped me . Thank you.

I had asked before if my blog post had to be relevant to my niche or could it be over anything. The answer I received was that my blog post did not have to be niche specific. S

Your blog post could be about you trying to find a niche. Let us know what your interests are. You said you liked writing, do you like poems, short stories? You know, let us know, then people could suggest niches to you.

Thank you for this suggestion.

Finding your niche should be the first thing you do. Then base building your website and blogs based on your niche.

Thank you!

I think the spam thing is about not selling stuff to WA members. You can talk about whatever you want. People might not be interested in reading about stuff totally unrelated to online marketing though.

Thank you, AngryRabbit!

WA Affiliate Program
Updated

I am at a lost here. I am doing the Affiliate Bootcamp because i have not decided on a niche just yet. So I figure I will promote WA. I do not really know how to promote WA, ho

If you are on social media platforms ( Facebook, Twitter, linkedin, etc), then you can write a post and paste your link there in the mean time. However, as you follow the Bootcamp course they will explain and show you how to market effectively to get your business going in the right direction. It just takes patience, motivation, determination and action. I am learning this as well. We will get there soon. :-)

Thank you!

Hi Cloux, go into your SiteRubix Manager enter your website and find the page you want to add your WA Link. There you can highlight the text /picture or one of the banners supplied on your WA site, where you want to add your link. you click on that thing above the txt that looks like a paperclip. This will open a box where you can enter your WA member link. It then will make the highlighted text "live" with your link when someone clicks on it. Make sure not to forget to 'publish" your site after you made the update!

Thank you!

A couple of months ago, my husband and I tried a MLM. And for the life of me, I did not understand what was going on. All I knew was that it cost $10 for the first 10 days and

Lots of us here have been scalded by MLM and similar schemes. You are safe from it here.

The key issue is the meaning of the term "MLM" - Mulit-Level Marketing. Your income depends on your ability to build a "downline" on a number of tiered levels. You earn from your level 1, level 2, level 3 etc - very much like a pyramid.

Here in WA there are no such multi-levels. You can earn a commission from recruiting but that happens at one level only. There is no level 2, no level 3, etc.

Hi, foolishly back in 2005 I joined Liberty League International. They were an MLM! It cost me a bunch of money to join, $900+ to get in at a level akin to "premium" here at WA. For that money I received the company's kit - books, DVD's, CD's as they promoted "motivational wellness". It was all a bunch of crock as you can go online now and find similar material for free coming from reputable individuals/scholars within this field.

As was stated before me, most notably by EKautz, when he described MLM's that are also pyramid schemes, Liberty League was exactly that in a nutshell. A person two levels above me received all of the benefits of my efforts in attracting suckers . . . I mean people into the company. The way it worked out basically only the high ranking members of this company made a lot of the major $$$$ - coming off of the work put in by people below them.

Essentially the company was a deviously set-up pyramid scheme which now are essentially illegal in the U.S. In fact the feds shut down Liberty League back in around 2009/2010 after numerous complaints and threats of civil lawsuits were enacted by members who came out with nothing to show by way of monetary profits for their efforts in their businesses.

WA is nothing like an MLM company. A person two levels above you does not benefit from the effort that YOU put into building your business - even if going through the Affiliate Bootcamp you are targeting people to join WA. The $47/month premium membership, (less per month if you ever decide to go "yearly") simply entitles you to more that is available here at WA - for instance an unlimited number of websites all hosted by WA for your online business. With the "free" membership you're entitled to just two hosted websites.

In affiliate marketing you are not paying to join anything. You are just going to place like JVzoo and Click Bank just to name a couple. Which are platforms where owners of products meet affiliates (people who want to promote their products). They (the owners) tell you (the affiliate) what percentage they are paying for a sale. and you choose if you want to promote the product or not.

In MLM it is a membership that you purchase first. Then you earning are leveraged by group sales. It is a team effort, which can be beneficial if most people work and pull their weight. Simplest way to put it . MLM ( Multi Level Marketing) you work with a team and with Affiliate Marketing you work by yourself. Both have Pros and Cons. You must find your sweet spot. It may be a little of both.

Cheers to your Success

In affiliate marketing, you only are paid when someone buys something that you are promoting. You have a link that is connected to the sellers sales page. This link has information attached to it that lets the seller know it was you, the affiliate, that sent the person to the sales page. If the person buys the product, you receive a commission. The only thing you have to do is promote and drive traffic to the affiliate link you were given.
Let's say you are an affiliate for a company that sells bath soaps. The bath soap company gives you an affiliate link that you can use to direct people to a sales page that the soap company has set up. You like the bath soaps and write an article on you website telling people about the experience you had about using the bath soaps. Then at the end of your article you say"If you'd like to know more about the great bath soaps I've been using click here". There is a way on your website to highlight the "click here" and attach it to your affiliate link. Once someone clicks on it and purchases something from the owners sales page, you are given a percentage of the sale (usually 50 to 75%). That's how you make money with affiliate marketing.

In network marketing, the business is centered around you. You have to do all the promoting and advertising to sell the product that the network marketing business is selling. You become a distributor for that MLM company. Also, if you introduce someone to the company who wants to also be a distributor, you receive a percentage of their sales (usually not very much 3-5%). But if they in turn find someone who wants to be a distributor for the MLM company, you will receive a small portion of their sales also. You didn't directly get this third person involved in the company, you were involved indirectly because you sponsored their immediate sponsor. Depending upon the MLM company, you could get paid a small amount from someone 5 levels below you, even if you've never met that person. That's how MLM works

Thank you, vhfan957. This is very helpful.

MLM = Multi Level Marketing, you slave to make someone higher than you rich while that someone trains you to do the same thing. In essence it's a legal pyramid scam.

Affiliate marketing is a legal and legitimate form of marketing that nearly every company uses to promote their products. We, the marketers, build our sites to market these companies wares.

At WA you are building a real business. There are no up-sells at WA either. You can stay free and try to go without training or you can pay the minimal monthly fee ($47/moth) for full access. The only other thing you may want is your own domain (about 10-12 bucks a year).

If your husband wants to he can read my response and ask questions too.

If you need anything let me know.

ROCK ON!

Thank you, Ekautz. This clears things up quite a bit.

Yeah, don;t believe the hype about MLM's - if your making money someone is slaving for you and if your not, well .... your on the other end and it sucks to be you. I've tried several - all scams

Yeah, and keep in mind too with an MLM there is an initial investment - typically inventory and that you must become a user (brainwashed) by the products.
