Hooray! Finally - More Time for WA!

Yes, I have been saying it...wishing for it...needing it! There's always a lot of talk around here about ditching the 9-5 and doing Wealthy Affiliate full-time; should you do it, when to do it, can I do it, etc. Up until now...I have usually been getting in 1 full day a week and then a few half days, here and there, but no more! No, I am not going full-time yet...that will come. But, I need more time...got to have more time to devote to this, so it is time for a big transition step.I will now b

Important HTTPS-SSL Information on Redirects Through Site Domains

Hi, Everybody!Some things just don't amount to enough to be made into training, but they are important nonetheless.This is not related to 301 redirects, so we don't want to get them confused with site redirects, which is what this is about. You may not be aware of this nifty little feature since Site Domains is still a relatively new part of WA, but when you select the Site Domains options under the main SiteRubix page, it takes you to a list of the domains you own (you don't actually own a sit

Financial Freedom at WA!

Now that I have your attention...some of you may recall a previous post of mine:https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/jchrisa/blog/3-key......in which I laid out a 3 step plan for success here at Wealthy Affiliate. We, Carla and I, had already achieved the 1st goal a couple of years back. Our main niche, tiny houses, is dedicated to achieving the 3rd goal even as we learn and earn here at WA.We were already on a path (a plan) to reach the 2nd goal before finding Wealthy Affiliate. And, this month...w

Okay, Time to Take Another Stab at This!

This is a goal post. And for you football fans, sorry I don't mean that kind of goal! lol :) There's always a flurry of New Year oriented posts in the last week of December and the 1st week of January, so I decided wait a bit before throwing my towel into the ring. But, not just for that reason. I have just been really busy. A lot of that activity has to do with WA indirectly in that following my yearly renewal (1st time at the Black Friday Sale price...Yeah!) I have been putting together my pl

Flogging 2 Fowl with 1 Projectile!

Well, it's happened. I guess it just couldn't be avoided.I've reached 1 year with WA and the top 100 at pretty much the same time. I decided to wrap it all up in one post, instead of milking it for 2 (or more...lol), so I will touch briefly on each and then on to the real business at hand.As for 1 year, I think I could be here for 100 and not get everything done I have on my list to do (let alone all the things I probably should also be doing that I don't even know about yet...and what about th

Oh, Those Facebook Ads!

The biggest challenge for any small business, online or otherwise, is when you as the small business owner must deal with extremely large monolithic entities...either on the inputs side or the output side.I am reminded of the farmer...who buys nearly all of his inputs from giant mega chemical and equipment corporations, and sells all his output to giant mega food conglomerates...and that's before considering government involvement at all...not the ideal business model.Fortunately, we do have a

Credit Where Credit is Due.

Shortly after arriving here at WA, it was early December 2015, I was given one of the best pieces of advice I have received since being a member. I got it from Tony Hamilton (thanks again, Tony...btw). It was simply this:Click on that blue rank button and follow the top 200...a hint for everyone else. :)It isn't something you can easily do in one sitting, sending out 200 private messages one right after another, so I made a list of the top 200 and I checked them off as I went to keep things str

WooHoo! Did It Again!

Just had to report this one!Found another big winner domain name in Jaaxy for another member!A 3 word ".com" with AVG that's over 27,000 and an SEO at 98...she should be getting 5,000 hits on that alone with a little time and dedication.Maybe I should have chosen domain flipping as a niche? Hummmmm...Might be a 2nd career here at WA?There's probably more where those came from! Hoorah for Jaaxy! :)Anybody our there having domain name issues? lolUntil next time...remember...I'm following you all

Appreciating the Power of Jaaxy!

As a general rule...I'm cheap...I mean REALLY cheap! :)(Insert favorite "cheap" joke HERE)...U Talkin' 'Bout Me?!?! Yes, of course you are. lolBut, uncharacteristically...I do have Jaaxy and I use it just about every single day.Carla says I just like the pretty red, yellow and green "lights"...it is pretty cool!But, recently, I am reminded of how powerful a tool it can be. Especially for finding high powered domain names. Within the last week, I was able to find a domain for another member whic
