Need help please because the Support Team is not very supportive!!

I submitted this ticket:

Hi, after I move pointed my domain lamjennifer.com DNS to WA (domain r

You have to update your MX records

That is exactly what I have been asking the tech support for the 100th time but they don't seems to get it! I swear I can get a heart attack if I have to tell them the 101th time.

Do you know the MX destination for WA please? I really desperately need to know the MX settings.

I Don't know the WA MX records, they should be able to give them to you,this is why I do not use there hosting

I'm currently hosted at JustHost and thinking if I should move here. Now I'm not a technical person so I need opinions of those who are move tech savvy than me.

What do you think @badboy247 ?

Email accounts have to be set up wherever your website is hosted. As you have changed the hosting for your website you need to create new email addresses here at Wealthy Affiliate.

Go to Site Rubix > Site Manager and click on the Site Email tab at the top right. Create the new email addresses and then the information you need will be under Settings.

I can still get my emails on webmail but not iPhone or Mail app. So if I create another same email address here at WA, then I will have 2 same email address because I can still access the webmail using my old email address.

I'm thinking if it's a mistake to point my website to WA! The tech support is not very techy and that really scares me. JustHost has really good tech support.

What have I done?????

When did you change the DNS? It takes time for DNS changes to propagate throughout the internet so your webmail may still be accessible at JustHost. Once propagation is complete then you will not be able to receive emails until you set them up at your new host (WA). If you hesitate then some of your emails may not be delivered.

Jen, are you talking about your website email or your personal email?

Gordon, my domain name with JustHost has an email that I have been using for ages. When I point the DNS to WA, I cannot get mails on my iPhone and Mail app anymore. So it's a website email that I had before it got pointed to WA.

Marion has answered your question as I was going to hope it solves the problem

Hey, Jen:
Put in a ticket to see if it can get fixed.

Roger, after 4 emails, they still don't understand my problem. I have the feeling whoever reply that email is not a techy person!

Does anyone have a recommendation for pop up opt-in mailing list? I tried installing MadMimi and another one but when I try to edit the setting, the page won't load (blank) - a

Sumome for the free one, and once you want more functionalities, you can try thrive leads or optin monster.
From what I heard, Madmimi has a great customer service, have you tried to ask the support team?

You can try Sumome, but you need to pay for more options

How long does it take for a typical affiliate application to get processed, say for Amazon?

I'm thinking if I should finish creating my contents for ALL pages first?

<

It normally takes a couple of days Jennifer. But having products to promote does no good if you have no one to sell them to. Once you start seeing a bit of traffic hen I would worry about products

Makes a lot of sense Tim! I'm learning...(1) get the contents up (2) drive the traffic (3) do the affiliate application!

Thanks a lot for the "light bulb" Tim! :)

Good advice and I had read that in order for customers to build relationship, websites should avoid product promotion at the begginning. Websites should provide good information at first to have the good impression, it is also like a brick and mortar business.

Most prefer you to have content and traffic first :)

How do you measure / define traffic? Say if I advertise in Facebook and get lots of clicks, would that increase my change of being accepted?

Unless they click through to your website from FB, I can't see that would make a lot of difference to be honest :)

You just have me an idea Jude! Thank you! ;)

Some affiliates want to see results before they will consider your request.Others just accept you straight away. The time factor is irrelevant other than to perhaps delay you.

However, I applied for an affiliate membership and was accepted immediately with one company and another rejected me after a few weeks. Why? because I did not have sufficient rankings etc

There is no realistic way to give an answer because each business operates their own way.

Rejected after a few weeks? That is very long time! How to quantify "sufficient ranking"? Being on first page of Google search - which depends on what keyword you search...

Basically, they did not want anymore affiliate marketers or they wanted a website to promote their products which had a significant amount of traffic and content, I had neither.

I had already decided that they did not want me as an affiliate marketer due to the time lag.

I'd guess they meant that I didn't have enough content on the site to have a ranking in any situation - they would have been right, they could have explained it better but that is their business.

Thanks Steve...now I got my question answered! Work harder to push in all the contents (currently everything in my brain!).

I hope you get to Brussels in 2017, The Grand Place or Grote Markt is amazing!

Planning says I will be there in May 2017, I will look for those places after I see my son. Thanx
