hey Franky, thanks for checking out my page.
i think i know what your brother is going through - not many countries respect engineers. they think the computers do all of the work...but that's not the case.
by all means get him to get in contact if he wants to try something on the side.. but with his workload i suspect he is just holding his head above water.
I found that i got home and that was enough...so had a decision to make and jumped.
is it worth it.
yes...you can make money online.
am i making a living...nope not yet .. still worknig on it.
my problem is being an engineer, i try to see how things work and understand them...not always possible on the net.
to your success...and your brother getting a less hectic lifestyle.

Sharon, with your background you seem ideally suited to now go it on your own.
as you say it is difficult to know it all, i struggle with the sales side of business, but the tech side... yes please.
So we can all learn here and help each other.
to your success.

sorry - laughing.
i did wonder towards the bottom what i was reading - but trying to be gentle.
just read it agian, that looks a bit better - i would still expand a bit on the upsells.
the email one still has a hanging sentence - ending with a comma.
and the commission one - what does commission mean.
but it reads a lot better, thanks for letting us help you Jo.
ps- i would still style the upsells as shown - use the indent after starting a list and it will jump in.

hahahaha I don't mind being criticized if you help me :)

For the record, that blog was a year old. I have gotten somewhat better. I help a handful in a facebook group. Teaching them teaches me. I have also started a website of My desire so it is so much easier to write about, You Know, Something you know.

Hey Amod - i am sure you ave been directed to this a few times if you have posted this on a few profiles - worth a read to see how to use the platform for all of our good.
to your comment my mind said 'so what' whats in it for me - i wasn't even stirred to click on the links, sorry. Yuo wil lneed ot improve your copy to get more people interested. What Does The Open Education Project Mean to You?

OK and thanks for your advice!

if blogging is not your cup of tea then,as you say, maybe this business model is not for you - it does not suit everybody.
but how will your site stand out - how will you get noticed by the search engines and get ranked highly - you will be relying on paid traffic if you are just a shop - the traffic will be cold rather than warmed up.
you can get your articles created, but it will cost and may not be exactly what you want.
it really is better if you write it yourself, then you get what you want.
high ticket items take a lot to sell.
i am not discouraging you - just telling you the reality.
sorry if you are taking it the wrong way.
good luck

hi Tammy - if i am clicking on a shop menu item and it drops down to show some produts an i cliked on it and it took me directly to amazon then i would be a little annoyed - i would expect to be taken to the product review on the site.
you can do this - you set up a custom link item and put the amazon link into the url and the name you want displayed in the name.
add them to the menu, drag them under the shop and pull them to the right slightly - you will see that a dashed box appears slighty indented. drop and it will be attached to the shop menu item and drop down when activated.
you can use the same technique to take people to either a post or page where you have your reviews on.
If you get stuck please shout again.
i hope it works

Thank you! As I was mulling over this last night, it did occur to me that what you said above was the way I was going to have to do it. Thank you!

no worries - i am glad you have a direction. try it - if you don't like it you can change it.
give me a shout if you need any more help Tammy.

Hey Berta, welcome to WA.
Don't worry about not being computer savvy - it can help you concentrate on your niche content rather than working on your site!
But, yeah everyone here is willing to help.
Give me a shout if you do get stuck.

Angelique it seems that sitecontent is a bit of a pain.
i am not a major user of it at the moment as wa is going through major updates there is always the fear of loss.
can you do it the old way - not hte best way - but can you copy n paste the content in.
I have just tried creating a post adding an image and publishing it to a site and it went through ok.
I am wondering whether sitecontent as been updated and old bits are left iin your computer - have you cleared your browser cache lately.
I have tried saving and then editing, adding an image and publising - all without a problem.
it is frustrating that there is no support for this part of the platform.
as i say the best i can say is to copy and paste to your site - you will need to reformat the headers.
and go through and clear the cache, i am really sorry i cannot gve you an answer that is definitive. clear the cache first and try again before copy and paste.
don't worry if you can see the article it is still there and it can be moved one way or another.
give me a shout if it didn't work and i can try something else.
good luck Angelique.

Hey Will, from your profile it sounds like you are ahesd of the game with your own radio station and site.
Welcome to WA, where you have the training available to be able to make quite a few bucks.
I hope you are able to scale up what you are doing and create the lifestyle you want.

What i am still struggling with is selling, even after almost 3 years of bein here. But i will get there. I have many keywords ranked #1 and a few sales, but these are in tutorials rather than sales pages.

thanks for dropping by and if you need help give me a shout.
Take care Will.
Phli

Thank you feigner, and you're welcome. Yes, I think selling would be the hard part. We'll get it though.

Hey Elliot, Congratulations on beating not one but two dieseases.
and welcome to WA.
I couldn't find much information about repitwa, but i am sure you know a lot.
writing about personal experiences with diseases and passing them onto others wil lrequire that you place a disclaimer on your site to the fact that ' this is my personal experience of xx and yy diseases, if you suffer from them then please read my experience and take heart that they can be cured, but seek proper medical treatment if you think you are suffering from them'
or ' the articles on this site are for informational purposes only and do not constitute a medical cure, please seek proper medical treatment if you think you are suffering from xx or yy'
you can place the disclaimer in the footer or in the sidebar - it maybe worth doing more investigation into what the fda requires, but i came across this site which may help
https://seqlegal.com/free-legal-documents/medical-disclaimer
so what is your other business venture?
good luck with creating your site Elliot.

did i mention in my response to you about "another biz venture"?

no but it is in your profile - to ask you about it!

don't worry - we'e all made a lot of mistakes
alternatively you could go through each setting to find out what it does and what effect it has.
or if it is a siterubix one just delete it and start again - export your work first.
phil

I will do this thank you for the help. I will pay it forward
your friend Sandy

Thank you again it worked!
Your friend Sandy

excellent
onwards and upwards Sandy

No worry, I have a 4 year old website that is one of the first I developed here. It is a mess. Last week Jay finally pounded through my thick head that I need to develop very focused websites. He has a website for football snack helmets and another site for tail gating bundles. They are both football niche but putting them on one football website would be much harder to sell.

My mistake and I am correcting it. I think the income potential in internet marketing is infinite. We just have to follow instructions until we make our website profitable and then do it again with another site in a related niche.

well done for perservering with it.
just tried adding the pic from my fb profile on my computer and it works - are you on a smartphone - there maybe problems there.
what did you do to cure your video problem?

I’m not sure about how I got the videos working but like I said I know nothing about computers so I can’t really remember what I did .and I am using a Ipad

ah! those things are a law unto themselves!!
you say you are entertainers - so it would be worth looking at Jay's local seo marketing.
good luck - if you need a hand please shout

Thank you Mike for the follow.
Welcome to WA, i really hope he training here can help your startup succeed.
Glad you are enjoying the training and learning loads.
If you do get stuck or need to pass an idea past then please feel free to give me a shout, i am around most days at the moment.
keep on training, keep on learning and most importantly keep on doing.
Phil

hey Nick
it's not been too bad - 3d printer site is up and running with about 3k visitors per month.
Started and stalled an ecommerce shop, but will come back to it.
Working on a bootcamp site, but struggling to get into it, so going back to my engineering skills and treating it like a project, Learning a lot more about wordpress and how the concept works and then moving forwards. this will be useful info for the bootcamp site.
How about you? looks like you will be doing local seo - don't forget to check out Jay's live class reruns, he did a few on local seo.
If you need a hand please shout.

happy to help
Good luck with your online journey
Phil
just out of interest - which comments Sheila?

thanks Dalix, i hope you find the journey you want here.
give me a shout if you need a hand.

Thank you for the feedback

Hi kaz- that's no worries - I am just glad that i can help.
So hopefully now you can go forward with setting up your online busines and complete the training.
Keep on working on it
Phil

no worries - welcome on board
I really hope that you enjoy your stay here and it becomes very profitable Valerie.

Hi susan - it's great you are making progress.
Shout if you need a hand, i might be able to help
Phil

Thank you for the follow William.
I am now concentrating mainly on the 3d printing site and a new ecommerce venture.
The system here does work and if you follow the training through to the end you may be surprised.
Good luck with your venture and remember it is not a race, take your time to understand what you are doing.
Have fun
Phil

Thank you Richard.
You maybe a newbie in the online world, but as soon as you master it within this platform you will be off and running again.

Your work life over the past years will stand you in very good stead. Your passion for telling stories, and as you know everybody learns through stories, will hold you in very good stead in the years to come.

Good luck
Phil

Thanks Phillip
All my working life, in that old "conventional offline world" I tried to help those whom worked with and for me by illustrating with real life experiences and stories. So to some degree I am kinda got some degree of "natural talent" in that area. I am always interested in how things happened and then making and communicating the sense we can derive from that!
Kind regards
Richard

hi Pernilla, glad to be onboard - not been into space yet but there is still time
hopefully the manuals here are comprehensive enough to cover most things but we are all here for the little emergencies.
they always happen at the wrong time
so check the dials and set the ion drive to cruise. settle in for the long haul. on the way you can watch a few short movies.
in between times you have the opportunity to expand the horizons so that when you land you are ready with the written speeches for all your visitors.
seriously good luck
and if you get stuck or need an ear to bend shout
there will be highs and lows on the journey - we have all had them , it is how you deal with them.
stick to the core mission and you should arrive safely at the planet freedom.

phil :)

I love your message! Just my style!
I will keep this on my mind during my journey.
Stick to the core mission - thats what I have to do.
Thanks, Phil!
:-)

hi jason - thanks for the follow.welcome to WA
i hope you are able to find the training you need to achieve the goals you want to attain
i hope you dog gets better
phil

My girl had surgery yesterday.is home doing ok.groggee from meds.seams so happy.yea she didnt die
.i think she will be ok.my training cont.my site will be up soon.i have a domain.

glad to hear it, hope she recovers soon

keep on with the training, you will get there

Shes doing great but the donut around her head caused her to run in to stuff.like a roadblock.yes im training.

Hi Ali, all is well in the business world.
i hope things are going well for you too.
it would be interesting to see your site - no link on your profile?
i have just started on twitter - and still don't get it
facebook has just dropped my site due to inactivity - again i don't get it
so i am struggling with organic traffic
but i have had one referral due to this -so....
once i get going with the social side i will definitely join the network
my new site is about 3d printers best3dprinter.stan-tech.com
at present i have one of the prusa i3's and have struggled with setting it up - i am getting the hang of it now. so if i am struggling so are others.
my twitter name is @3deeprinter

i wish you success with your online journey

phil

Thanks Phil, my site isn't ready to go yet and I'll add it in my profile as soon as I'm done.
Wish u great success in ur online business )

Best,
Ali

ali - your site is never finished. does it matter if you only have a few pieces of content?
it might be worth getting your site out there - ticking the do not index until you are ready
then you can have other look over your ite to give you pointers if necessary
don't leave it too long
phil

Thanks Phil for suggestion and you're right. Actually my site is indexed but I'm working on the first page to make it at least some better. Yes there need some more content at least for the first page and that's why I don't like to share something incomplete. I will not wait too long to make it perfect because it needs work and feedback to be perfect but at least I can make the home page some better )

Best,
Ali

ok ali, but don't try for perfection. what you see as perfect others will see modification which seem obvious to you after reading.
you will need to get it good enough, then post it - you can always go back and update in the future.
make sure you check grammar and plaguarism.
in fact if you have to go back in a couple of weeks or months to update it google likes that.
make it believable, readable, entertaining, informative and people will want to read what you produce next - this is where your sign up comes in ' if you want to read the next installment then enter your first name and email into the boxes below'
if you need another pair of eyes then shout - i may be a bit too truthful for some.
phil

Thank you very much for your great info Phil, I really appreciate it and keep it in my mind )

Best,
Ali

Hi Phil,

All the best to your website. It looks real good. You are obviously a technical person. Wow...3D! Very impressive!

Pearly

hi kee, thanks for the follow. the website is in its infancy at the moment. it is a fun 'job' though, playing with 3d printing.
it can be useful repairing all those old gadgets you will get around to fixing. or for you, custom cutters, custom bowls for your dishes being printed in the background while you are cooking!!
good luck with your site - it might be worth checking out heidi56 she has a streaming service, or believeityes (sarah) who has a youtube channel.
i hope you are able to get your site set up - if you need a hand please shout
phil

Hi Phil,

You are so kind. I may need lots of help. Will let you know.

Pearly

hey aj - as long as they are moving in the right direction, there is no rush on the internet.
have fun
phil

thanks paul - keeping on with the training - again!!
will get there
phil

thanks rika
all the best
phil

same to you james

thanks for your kind words chris.
it has been developing over the last 6 months very slowly. i am not overly happy with it.
with your website it will never be 'finished' you can always update an old post or find something else to write about.
i tried to take a slightly different tack than most of the others here without the scam side.
i want to develop a course for personal finance, a series of posts.

when i start to talk about traffic, at present it has cobwebs at the door, but i am no good at social media -so this is a major hurdle for me.
i did take a plunge into the flipboard pool and got over 200 visitors overnight but it was not sustainable, the amount of work needed to keep at the top on flipboard is huge - ref swansgirl posts.
at the moment i am trying to see if i can get to grips with facebook

but definitely follow the training exactly and you will see results within 12 months.

i have just started a site about 3d printers ( best3dprinter.stan-tech.com) more passionate about that.

i take it working in the printer industry you are skilled at copy writing?
phil

Hi Phil, I think right now facebook ads are the way to go for me as I want to niche on lifestyle and health. Been looking at the facebook demographics notes and women aged 25 to 45 suiting the products I want to develop. What's your target person ?
I need to get website up and started before I do anything else. I can hold my own with copywriting and be grammatically correct and punctuated, but I need to develop a fluent and upbeat style.
Did you do your own copywriting or buy in ? Chris

hi chris - for PAW my target was going to be people like me who are looking for something else, coming up to retirement so 50 something - thinking there is more to life than this and looking at the pension pot and thinking *!?* what am i going to do!!
getting the site up on here is easy - if it is a passion the copy should be relativey easy, i would suggest doing it yuorself if poss - you know the quality- others on here have farmed it out and had to redo it - no time saving.
once you know what you want you can show others what they need to produce.
conversational style - talking to a friend seems t obe the way to go - edutainment is one of the latest buzz words
have fun
good luck

thanks andi, i really appreciate it as i am not very good at the social media side - working on it. i need to add a load of content to the site, with the basics along with my experiments and musings.
i know what you mean by getting sidetracked, whenever i do research i seem to go down paths off track!! takes me ages to produce content - must get more disciplined!!
hopefully you go through a site link onto amazon!! affiliating??
thanks again
have fun
phil

Phil Thats exactly me too. Getting sidetracked and then getting lost. I try to make notes now but then I lose those lol

yes I do for what good it does for me. I have to do more work on my keywords on that because the ones I extensively searched for and used do not seem to work?
Andi.

and with yours janice

h paul - don't worry we all have a lot to learn
hopefully we never stop
stick to the training and ask questons
have fun
phil

hi jivitaa339 -
i haven't used this one much http://www.thewriter.com/what-we-think/readability-checker/ for readability
and grammarly or similar for grammar checking
this one looks useful
http://smallseotools.com/grammar-checker/
hope these help
have fun
phil

Hey Phil,
thanks a lot for your suggestions
I found the writer quite good,and some of the features of small Seo tools are very good like plagiarism checker.
I have not tried all of them, but thanks for your efforts for letting me know this useful tools.
Shubhangi.

hey Shubhangi,
glad they were useful
definitely worth getting into a workflow - after writing the post check for grammar - spelling - plagiarism, add pictures
have fun
phil

no worries - thanks for the follow.
like your blogs thanks for posting the information.
will see you around
have fun
phil

bin in the job thirty years -before they moved. had to move on as it was too far to travel. never mind. good training here, will make it work - hopefully soon.
good list of sites you have - may catch you up in the future
have fun
phil

hi allen - tis bit of a change - still struggling with the customer side of it (marketing), i think it is all of the unknowns. did google like your post, will the visitor like your post, does it convert?
with engineering i knew that if i designed a circuit like this, it works..
it is fun, interesting and frustrating at the same time!!
but it is something i can do wherever i want, which is what i am after.
i may branch out into the tech side of the business in the future.
i have one post not ranked after 6 days!! cn't find what is wrong - According to expand seo should score 80%. but still not listed when looking at the site ln google. unlike my other site where pages with nowt in are listed!!
oh well on with the training!!
phil

Engineering is a tough job, sometimes you can be stressed because you have to figure out how to make that damn thing work etc, Hard job, but now you are in a fun and exciting job- Internet Marketing, you can now relax and have fun writing content that you know something about, in your case it probably should not be tech stuff, too serious for you, u need a change.
In marketing no stress, you just think of a nitch you love,the nitch has something to sell so you can make money, know something about and can bull shit about as Content material that Google, Yahoo and Bing will like so that their customers will be able to find on the Internet exactly what they are searching for-Google is happy, customer is happy and you are happy as you have a possible customer who may buy a product from you.

Maybe the nitch isn't right for you, too serious or too popular and hard to compete, can it be monetize or make money for you, do you write content about what people want & want to buy. Sell things people want-
Start over with a fun nitch, what are your fun hobbies r interest (not tech stuff)-start there.

Send me 3 hobbies or interest of yours if you want or are having a hard time picking a new niche, and I'll help you find a nitch.

Enough for now, just some food for thought from an old 82'er IM'er

hi michael - like the 'things' you produce - creations hybrids ideas.

Hi Arthur,

Good luck with your sites

Phil

Hi Phil,
They say Dogs Have Owners, but Cats Have Staff. So true……!
Lifelong Learning, yes that's the direction I'm heading in, have lots of ideas in that regard.
