I am struggling with the writing content to be honest and I’m not enjoying it as much as I thought.
What will happen to my website though if I leave? Will it just be

Very good answers here for you, Diane! I hope you stay, but you need to figure out what is best for you! If you do go, we will leave the light on for you!

Jeff

Good Day, Diane.

The answer is NO! - at least not until you are absolutely positive that this is not for you.

From your statement, you do not appear to have any financial issues, so if everything is paid up for a month or two, go on a holiday.

It may be that you are in the wrong niche, no worries, the world will not end. Take a week off and open your mind to other things.
You are putting too much pressure on yourself to pump out content at crazy rates that you are not quite ready for.

Writing 2000-word blogs every day is the equivalent of being an Olympic athlete. You cannot simply get up one day and win an Olympic medal. It takes time to reach the levels of performance that you are demanding of yourself.

Many times, a week in the sun, or a week away from it all, is just what a good doctor would recommend.

Reward yourself. Go away for a week! No peeking! Clear your mind and you may find the new niche that you are seeking.

The world will not end, and you will return, relaxed and happy that you did not quit.

Quitting is never good for anyone, whether it is from here or from somewhere else. I have been here at Wealthy Affiliate for many years, and the struggle is so much smaller than all the benefits that I receive from being a member of this fantastic platform.

For the price of a cup of coffee a day, I have learned TONS, and I continue to learn, enjoy, and appreciate this excellent community.

You are my latest followee, do not leave me yet. Get back to me in a week, and we'll see how things are going then.

Thanks for this opportunity to get me off my b--, and write me some content.

You are stronger and tougher than you realize.

I am Paul.

Thank you for your reply! Very wise words! I can’t physically go away on holiday as we are still in lockdown but I will think about what you said and take a break.

Hi - you can transfer it to another hosting provider. It will then remain live on the internet and you will still be able to access it.

If you leave it here, it will go offline, you won't be able to access it and it will be deleted 60 days after your membership ends.

Could it be that you are not passionate about your niche and that is why you are struggling?

Yes maybe, I chose a niche that does interest me but I don’t know what else to write about so I’m not writing anything?

I have written a few blog posts on how to come up with content ideas, if you would like to take a look.

Thank you I’ll take a look x

Hi, you need arrange alternative hosting of your sites before your subscription runs out as you will locked out the platform. Site support back ups only are available for 60 days.

You can never revert back to being a free starter.

I also advice you back up sites, you can use the AIO WP Migration and Updraft plugins. UpdraftPlus is a premium and highly recommended.

As for writing I would suggest seeking out Grammarly dot com, premium version of which would help you out with writing and learning, an avenue for you to explore.

To move my website to another host, do I need an authorisation code or something?

Core “Business Start Up” Training

So when I was a starter member, I made a website with my niche on the starter training. Now I’ve gone premium, I want to know can I also build another website as I am als

Putting your time into building one website initially is a good idea.
Once it is up and running and you have ironed out all of the issues, the second and third sites will be easier by comparison because you will have already learned so much about website building and affiliate marketing.
I wish you all the best :-)

Hi - yes, as a premium member, you can host up to 10 websites here. You can use 10 free SiteRubix or 10 purchased .com domains or a mix of the two types.

However, it's not advisable to work on more than one website as a beginner. It can be challenging to follow the training to build up your site and maintain it by adding 2 or 3 posts every week. It is better to put all your time and energy into one site.

With affiliate marketing, you don't need your own products, you simply refer potential customers to the likes of Amazon, and earn a commission when they buy something.

Which website should I go with?

My question is as I am a new starter, I am limited to training etc, do I have to become a premium member to go any further as I'm not sure what I'm doing?

Hi Diane,
If u can go Premium, u should. To progress, u will need it.
There's so much to learn here, that if one knew what is ahead, one wouldn't even give it a second thought.
It does seem a lot of money, especially when u are paying for the annual premium membership in one go. But that's how u will get a good deal. And if u want, u can earn that money back monthly, through comments etc.
I would say, just cast aside all doubt and take the plunge.
Love,
Aparna

Hi Diane,

That's a question only you could answer but if you would like to access more training you would have to become a Premium member. The great thing is the first month will be discounted at $19 instead of $49.

It's a good way to test the water and see if the content and training is worth continuing. Also, if you're not grasping the concept I would suggest going over the training again.

I always find that I pick up something new the second time around. I hope that helps and you'll always have the community here to help if you need it.

Good luck and I wish you all the best!

Cheers!

Other members have already replied to your question, but while you are at the fence, you can still post content to your free site, and add value from what you already know. Once you become Premium you will have to decide for a domain name (that is between 13 and 19 dollars a year and belongs to you) and you will be able to transfer what you have done already on your site to your own domain.
Obviously, the earlier you can continue your training and become premium, the better, but is just an idea, while you are deciding.

Pablo

To continue with the training etc, you will need to become a premium member. That you will need to decide for yourself. If it's something you want to continue to pursue or not.

I don't want to influence you either way, but if it does seem like something you want to do, I would recommend you take advantage of the first month discount ($19) that Kyle offers you.

Then you will have full access to the entire platform for 4 weeks to continue your training and ask questions and network with other members. By the end of that month you will have a good idea if it's something for you or not.

If it is, great. If not, you still got a great deal on very valuable online business training for less than $20. And you can cancel at the end ot the month.

Just my opinion, hope it helps.

Rex

Yes, to go further into the training you will need to be a premium member. As a starter member, you have access to the first level of each of the core trainings and 2 classrooms. You also have access to a lot of member created training.

You can find the classrooms under the Training tab on the left sidebar but here is a direct link:https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/training/classrooms

Member created training you can find by using the grey search bar at the top of the page to search any topic of interest or you can go to the training headquarters and browse through the various ones available to you. https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/training

As others have mentioned, after 7 days you will lose the ability to communicate with other members and ask questions but you can stay a free member for as long as you like and continue to build on your free website for up to 6 months.

Best, Shannon
