WA Affiliate Program

Starter members are people who are just starting. Once you've become a premium member you're not just "starting" so you can't go back to being a starter member.

Hi - once you have been a premium member, you can't go back to being a free starter again. I am surprised you have been able to ask this question, to be honest, as I understood that anybody cancelling their membership would be locked out of the platform. You won't get commission from your WA affiliate links.

This account is a Free Starter Member created on the 4th November 2018, do you have another account that you then upgraded to Premium Member? Maybe log out of this one and then login with your other account.

Also, Starter Members can only host one website on the SiteRubix subdomain for up to 6 months, after which, it is taken offline and deleted.

Apologies, for some reason it was not showing as a Premium Member, but it is now. However, do you mean that you have stopped your Premium Membership and wish to revert to only being a Starter Member? Unfortunately, you can not do this. Once you have upgraded, you can not downgrade.

I was just curious if most of you use a sidebar for ads, recent blogs, etc, on every page and post, or just certain ones?

Thanks!

I only use one on my home or first page for a bio. Content list and signup.

Lily 😊

Thank you much!

Hey Dave,

Using a sidebar is usually reserved for the blog portion of our websites. Some plugins will even allow you to show a different sidebar for different posts.

Personally, I use the same sidebar on my blog roll and all posts. Some widgets contain videos, some widgets contain images linked to an affiliate link and some have a sign up form.

Hope you find this helpful.

Yes that is what I was looking for.

Thanks!

A sidebar is kind of a misnomer - it does not have to be on the side of your post - although it usually is. It might better be called a "widgetized area."

It can be in the footer, on the bottom of a post, or even in the header (although this would be rare).

When you go into the Dashboard and go to Appearances / Widgets you will see there is a whole bunch of Widgets there which can do many things. There is on for a Calendar, for a listing of posts, one for a text message - most everything.

If there is some functionality you do not see there, chances are you can download one off the Internet.

You can also put ads there, Google Adsense, whatever you want. Usually, they go on posts rather than pages.

Hope this helps!

Dave.

I don't really want to know how to do it, I just was curious if most people use some sort of sidebar or widget. Kinda like if there a reason or not to put them on every page or post?

Well, that is a lot I didn't realize about sidebars. Thanks for the clearer explanation about them. Thanks for sharing.

Usually, we do not put a sidebar on every page, although sometimes they are used in the footer so they might appear in every page and post.

Mostly, it is just for aesthetics. For example, an About Us page would not be an appropriate place to put a sidebar usually because it detracts from the information on the page.

But the nice thing about WordPress is that you can do just about anything - it's just whether you should do something!

Hope this is clear.

Thanks! Dave.

that is a good question

I understand the hosting part, but still need to know about renewing the domain name when it comes time. Can you still renew the domain if you are no longer a premium member?

Thanks again!

Yes. You can keep your domain name registered at Wealthy Affiliate even if it's hosted elsewhere.

I know there probably won't be an exact answer to this, but I have to ask. I personally know a guy who has a drop-shipping website in the automobile niche and the website is n

We'd all like that kind of results.

Agree with Andy. In my experience, generally the only way to grow that big that fast is through paid traffic. He is likely spending lots of money on advertising. You could, too, for your site and grow faster. The Wealthy Affiliate model, however, teaches how you can build a business without spending money by focusing on great content that attracts an audience organically. Either way works, but one is a heck of a lot less expensive than the other. You're choice.

Great answer from Andy below.

For one it's an e-commerce site, the rules are different for them. He is also likely boosting results with paid traffic as traffic is another Google ranking factor, the more traffic you have the more traffic they send you.

Thank you for all of your answers!
