Looking forward to getting to the beach soon

Hi Everyone! I have just been looking through some photos on my computer. Last year, we managed to get to see the sea when the restrictions were lifted for a while in the UK. Fingers crossed we will be able to go to the coast again this summer, the dogs love it and there is nothing like watching a greyhound do zoomies on a beach! I hope all of you manage to take a break this year, even if you have to stay in your own country. Exploring the country where I live is as exciting as going abroad for

Aioseo rating

Today I have been going through my previous blog posts on my websites and putting in internal links to other posts on my website This means visitors can go to my other posts for explanations of phrases or ideas they may not be familiar with. This is recommended by Kyle in the affiliate bootcamp training and to me makes sense. As Kyle says linking to other articles on your own site suggests that you rate these articles and think they will help your readers. If you only have links from your post

Selling a course online

I've just finished an article about selling a course online as part of the affiliate bootcamp course and it has made me reflect on how I think about WA.I have very much focused on the affiliate marketing aspect of my bootcamp site and not really considered what else I could sell on the site. By using keywords, relevant content and the framework for posts that Kyle teaches us we can promote much more than affiliate programs.Our own ebooks, courses and coaching could be sold through our blogs so

Jaaxy's Search Analysis Feature - have you used it?

Jaaxy keeps on giving!Recently, another member recommended the Using Jaaxy Like a Boss (wealthyaffiliate.com) training from Jay (unfortunately, I can't remember who it was so I apologize for not crediting them).As I am just starting again on my bootcamp website I decided to take a look to see how I can improve my keyword research.I was amazed that halfway through the seminar Jay mentioned a feature of Jaaxy that I hadn't even known existed despite the fact that its link is sitting there lookin

Why do you want to be your own boss?

I have just written a post for my blog on the cons of affiliate marketing. It may seem a bit counterintuitive when I am trying to attract new referrals to WA but, of course, WA can help with a lot of those cons!One section was concerning whether you could be your own boss. Many people dream of being self employed rather than having to answer to a boss but is being your own boss as good as it is cracked up to be?Many people who are self employed spend a lot of time working on their own. There is

Can you have too many internal links?

Whilst looking at my website the other day it came to me that all of my posts have internal links. This may not be seen as a bad thing as the training encourages us to have links from one post to another so that visitors are encouraged to look around the site.However, I decided to read the site as if I was a visitor to it. As I followed links from one post to another, I realized that visitors to my website might feel that they were going round in circles. It is a site promoting Wealthy Affiliat

Core Principles of Wealthy Affiliate!

Recently I began the Affiliate Boootcamp again as I had taken a break from Wealthy Affiliate and needed to start again as I felt there was a lot I had forgotten.The first lesson was a wake up call as it reminded me of why I had chosen Wealthy Affiliate originally! Behind this platform are core principles that make it the best place to come to if you want to succeed online with affiliate marketing.First and foremost is helping others. Kyle and Carson set up this wonderful organization to help ot

Finding a Niche - A New Perspective?

Find your nicheMany people find that their first real challenge in affiliate marketing is to choose a niche to create their website in. Traditionally it is suggested that you should choose a niche in a subject that you are passionate about.The theory behind this is that it is easier to keep the momentum going when things get tough if you are writing about a subject that you love.However, what do you do if you are not passionate about anything. This can happen if you are working all hours in a j

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Work

I don't know how many people in the WA community suffer from chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) but I suspect that there are at least a few of us, as affiliate marketing is an ideal way for people with chronic illness to achieve financial success.I am not suggesting that everybody with CFS can do this as obviously some people are too ill to do any work and your health must always be your priority. However, if you have periods of recovery where some work is possible, Wealthy Affiliate is ideal.So wh

Static Home Page or Blog Roll

Has anybody got a static home page rather than the blog roll that seems to be the automatic option for most themes? I have been cogitating about this for at least a month so just thought I would ask for a few opinions on whether people prefer a static home page rather than a blog roll and are there particular advantages to each option? I wondered about having a welcome type page with the aim of the website as a static homepage as although my website is for affiliate marketing for people with di
