Hi guys, so I'm building my web and I'm browsing through wordpress themes, I was wondering does anyone recommend a certain theme for online marketing? What are your experiences?
No single theme is "best". You can use any theme you like. However, it's usually a good idea to pick something simple, with a white background + black text.
Things like too many colors or moving parts can distract people and hurt sales!
Well this will all depend on what you will be doing mainly and most people will have their theme choice. I went for a theme that was created with affiliate marketing features and it costs $74 but I googled a coupon and got it for $55 ish or something close. All niche's require some sort of marketing you just need to visualize whether you will be doing reviews, purely promoting links or blog and link. I contacted several theme site developers and a lot of them said just about any theme can be turned to affiliate marketing. However, themes such as the one I purchased have features for affiliate marketing such as 3 different affiliate marketing page layouts- Affiliate Mode is what they call it and you can make pages into a store. Go look at mine www.oversizemen.com and the page new arrivals is set up purely using one of the features which is squeeze the other two are Grid and List.
Whichever one that you choose, make sure that is mobile compatible.
More people are accessing info on mobile devices now then ever. I'm using the 2014 theme on one site & 2012 on another, I think I like the 2014 better. Jon

What wordpress theme is best for affiliate marketing?
Hi guys, so I'm building my web and I'm browsing through wordpress themes, I was wondering does anyone recommend a certain theme for online marketing? What are your experiences?
I stayed with Omega, the theme Kyle was using in the lessons and continued to use in Course 2. I just figured it would be easier to follow along. I'm going to change themes, but it's not a priority for me.

I was wondering, once you start making money through IM-do you have to pay tax from the profit you earn? How does that work? And are there any other legal issues we newbies shou
It depends on which country you are from, but you'll have to pay taxes according that country. If you are from the US, it doesn't matter where you are in the world, you owe taxes on your profit.
Most people just use their name as their business name, which means it's a sole proprietorship. Something like Tax Slayer or another tax software has sections where you can add "other income" you earn from hobbies etc
In the beginning, it will be simple, but as your business grows you'll want to write off stuff you buy like computer stuff, office space, or even your internet connection, but then you need to start keeping receipts. I'd worry about that when you start making $$$

Hi, I was just wandering on lesson 5 and 6, can somebody define a template to me-I am confused because I though by choosing a template you automatically define the look of your
Not a silly question - templates are just that a framework of the layout of your site. But not all templates are set in stone.
You can modify (customize) a template to your hearts desire, this is only limited to your imagination and skill level.
That's why a website can look different from the original template.
So for example when you go to the Build Your Site area in the WA all of those samples are wordpress templates.
And all of those templates can be customized to look similar to the original or very different.
Hope this helps
