I want to know the meaning of blogging on WA website . This is because in my own opinion I thought blogging was to teach the community something. Is it that any person can jus
Hey Chris, its a good way to build your business and bring it to the world. by building a blog you are writing about what you love to do, and also promoting your business to every one that reads your post.. the idea behind it is to build trust, people will not buy from you unless they know who they are buying from, and that includes your services.. you say in your profile you have a love for computers and phones, then build your blog around that.. if you need any help, go to my profile and click my website you will find lots of help tips about blogging..
I would say that the purpose of blogging here at WA is to help, motivate, support and be social with the community. If you read the rules at the bottom of the blog it says:
"Your blog here at Wealthy Affiliate is a great spot to communicate with others in the community and let people know about your progress, your successes, and ultimately your experience as you move through the crazy and exhilarating world of online business.
On top of that it is super powerful for building relationships with others and building your network here within the community by documenting your exciting journey!"
I guess you could blog about going to the toilet, but I don't think that would be very beneficial to anyone ;-)
You are right, blogging is writing about any subject you are interstellar in. Blogging comes in many forms but the most common is to build a presence to promote a business and attract customers.
Google "what is a blog?" And you will find plentry of definitions. Cheers Kev.
What is blogging, and how does wealthy affiliate considers ?

Ideally, posting here should be about your journey here at WA, and if that covers someone who is struggling or has had a bereavement, (for example,) and needs some support, then that's fine.

I am here on WA for about 5 months or more. I became premium all this while because I loved Affiliate Marketing. I started a website computer and smartphones best options. But
Hi Fon,
My first website was pretty ordinary, I chose the niche naively, I approached it all wrong, in the end I realised that I needed to start afresh.
There is some excellent advice here, and apart from your friend no-one is having a go at you here - only trying to help.
When people don't understand something the natural reaction is to call it rubbish, so your friends comment came from an uneducated base.
BUT you do need to go back to the start and do the lessons, do your keyword research etc and write content, lots of it, but quality content.
You have had direct offers of help here, I am also offering help, so are the others.
Perhaps you could read a few members blogs here in WA and see how they write, perhaps you could model yourself on someone's style, but it still needs to be your words etc
So don't be afraid to ask me or anyone else, we are all here!
Steve
Thank you very much Sir. Please let me start by asking you. " How quality, is a quality content?
Fon, this is covered in Lesson 9 (edited this, got the wrong lesson). We will help you, but you need to help yourself too. Go to lesson 9 and read it. BUT I would start at lesson 1
This is part of that lesson:
Being original, candid, and building your personal brand is the best way to succeed within any niche, so please make sure you do put some effort into creating your own content - By Kyle
So do the lesson, take your time, read it as many times as you need, understand it. Perhaps you could read other peoples blogs on their websites like I suggested earlier.
Steve
Thank you on it . I did not actually understand that because I thought I was doing right then only to be seen wrong. All through life I have never been seen as null. Anywhere this is a challenge I am writing a post starting now on what is quality content.
Send me a Private Message (PM) when you have done so, I can respond to it. As it is now 2 am here I am going to have a sleep. Good luck.
Look at it this way, you didn't fail at anything, you just found one of the ways that it doesn't work.
Go back to the training and follow through with the step by step instructions to building your website.
Financial freedom is within your grasp, go after it :)
Hi Christopher,
First, your website domain could be a bit more pointier like "Create a Scam Free business", just a thought on my part.
To be more engaging with your website also have a picture (go to gravatar.com) so there is a real person when you are commenting on someone else's comment.
But what have stroked me most, being here for 5 months and you only have written one post????
You need to make a bigger effort and show your target audience what they can have, achieve with an online business.
Just creating a website and than lean back, doesn't do it.
Posting on social media regularly, without becoming a spammer, though, is also very of the essence.
Don't give up, do the bootcamp training one lesson at the time, don't skip any, a mistake many newbies will do in the beginning.
Don't give up, yet. Good luck.

Yes Sylvia, I had been working full time from 7am till 9 pm. Japanese working style . I had really no time to write . But you got me wrong on some points. I had been working on another site www.comsmartrefair.com . That is where I discovered the niche was actually broad. I started with boot camp this August. So I am learning and moving. You don't know how frustrating after some struggles a friend calls your work bullshit . The point is no person actually responded on my postings of FB . I even went an extra mile to send personal messages. I feel very much disturbed because I stopped my work , took vacation for 2 months to see what I can do. I will soon make one month at home doing nothing . Do you know the time in Japan now? Getting to midnight . Yet you put three ?.?? On writing one post as if I am doing nothing . I need encouragement not laughter. Thank you.
I can feel your frustration Fon, and I can tell that you are doing all you can, but people are just trying to help, not have a go.
Just keep at it! :-)
John thank you . I understand you , and I actually thank the community members who have given a positive outlook to my situation . You can see my point of stopping everything to give time for this. Really you get my situation of an anti climax . That is why I ask for some words. But when someone on advising step in with critics it is like rubbing a salty palm on a fresh wound. It destroys. Once again thank you.
Hey Chris, this business needs lots of patience and dedication, do the training diligently, be very focused, I wrote a post recently with resources and tips, which may help and motivate you : WA Affiliate Program: Are You Bored Or Tired Of Promoting WA?
I feel your pain Fon.
It can be terribly frustrating when you are not seeing results.
My BEST advice is to keep following the training, keep taking action on your website as you go, celebrate your progress... AND give yourself TIME to succeed!
I know it is very hard at the beginning... That is why WA has always been portrayed as a LONG TERM business opportunity! It is NOT "get rich quick" or any one of those push button automated scams.
You will only reap what you sow, and making money online is a back-end deal... the more work you put in now, you will gain down the track... when that is I can't say... But NEVER GIVE UP... AND It WILL Happen!! :-)
My pleasure Fon!
Don't give up my friend, you have only just started... Give yourself the TIME to succeed! :-)
Hey Chris, for a start, your site name is too long, secondly get yourself a paper and pencil and start writing down all the things you like doing, what are your interest, what are you passionate about, when you have at least 10 on your list go through them and starting cutting down till you get to the one, then think if I have chosen this one, can I keep writing about it... Can I talk about this subject all day long,, lol, then once you do that, I would go back to lesson one, and don't move forward till you find what it asked you to do, when you get to the keywords, pm and I'll help you out... Also get your self a domain name after you find out what you chosen.. It's about 5/8 $ from namecheap... Don't be discouraged, we have all gone through what you are going through , that is why we are here, in this community.. Your not alone.. A lot of people will especially friends who don't understand what you are trying to achieve, so keep it secret, till they start seeing the change in you.. If you want critique ask in wa... So keep going like they say, people normally give up , not realizing success is just around that bend... If you need help just ask, Bea
This is a learning process, that's the main reason I joined WA, It will take time and dedication, BTW. do not take advice seriously, especially from just one person, especially someone that gives you that kind of an answer, share it with other people, don't mind constructive criticism, but stay away from destructive ones. Believe and trust that you can do it, and you're half way there.
I have 3 suggestions for you:
Go back through the lessons, taking your time to get everything right.
Run your content through something like Grammarly to pick up on your spelling and grammar issues.
Write more content.
Just push through it! Broaden your horizons a bit and maybe choose a different niche? Or scale down your existing?
The niche you are currently in is extremely competitive. Study your main competitors and see what they are doing that you aren't. If you are learning, which I know you are, then your not wasting time. You got this!

I want to place computers with their characteristics (small images) and many on a page as it is done on selling sites like bestbuy.com
I would start by creating reviews on each of your products and linking to where someone can buy them.
As long as you have an affiliate link so you get credit for the sale.
This process is explained more fully throughout the training.
My point is making it as a shop. A computer with its characteristics is placed on the site then when you click on it it takes you to where to buy you can even add a cart.
You have to search for affiliate programs who offer an app for a shop too, they work almost always with an api-code. Look if they have that in their program
Waoh Thank you very much Loes. You teach me everything and you are so fast . Please I am sorry to disturb you. How can I get and know affiliate program with api-code relative to my nitche- computers and smartphones best option? Thank you in advance
use affilaites type in "product" + affiliate in to google and all associated affiliates will come up
