I checked Google Analytics, and I had 6 unique visits, a bounce rate of 14% and a whole 45 page views! I'm so happy right now! I never knew that WA could produce such incredible

Wow, that's pretty impressive for the first day. I'm not sure if that's typical or not. I do know that that's at least twice the stats of my first live day! Content is definitely king, partner... keep it up JR. Great job, man!!!

Other than the Getting Started course, is there any other training course starter members can take? Thanks!

Yes. Just type a word or two for what you're looking for in the search bar above. If you then click Detailed Result it'll show all the available training on that topic. :) Rich.

Thanks!

Does anybody know how to add tweet buttons, facebook likes & share buttons, Pinterest, Tumblr, G+, etc. on a starter member siterubix

I'm afraid this is a limitation of the Starter Membership. Unfortunately, WordPress is *opensource* so not every plugin or theme is safe. If something goes "wrong" then there's no FTP access to undo it. If you decide WA is for you and upgrade to Premium the restriction is lifted, although it's recommended that you purchase your own domain which will give you FTP access to your site in case of any issues. :) Rich.

Thanks for the info...:(

It's pretty hit and miss with services like Fiverr and iWriter. I've seen some brilliant work from authors working there and also a lot of unusable dross. I think the best low-end content "farm" is probably Textbroker http://www.textbroker.com However, expect to pay $10-15 per 500 words, more if you want a specific author with knowledge or expertise in your niche. :) Rich.

Thanks for the info. Yep, I'll stick to writing my own content for now. Once I have a couple websites or more up and running and I earn more than $700 a month, I'll think about outsourcing.

Sometimes fiverr does not have good writers. I haven't found any there yet. I have bought a few articles there and published them once I proof read them and tweaked it a bit. I suggest outsourcing if you can.

Yeah,.,, Careful with finding good writers... Or you'll spend 3 hours proof-reading/correcting content that you paid someone $5 to write....

On the contrary, I believe there are quite a few good ones available on Fiverr. It just might take a bit of searching. Anyway, I've decided to do my own article writing for now.

Hello,

I personally outsource content because I find my time is better spent on other aspects of my websites... also, I'm not a great writer,,, I would rather pay someone $5/hour to write in 2 hours what would take me 10 hours... However, If your budget is small because that's all the money you have to spend... then obviously write yourself....

I found without monetary investment (just time investment) I would be more likely to drop a project prematurely (no guilt for wasting time on myself) and move on to a new one... However, if I spent a couple hundred on a site, I would be more diligent.... I would be sure it got up and running and made me at least a portion of my investment back...

Just my 2 cents :)

That's a great way to look at it. That's totally true; if we spend more money building up a site, we naturally come back to it to make sure that it pays off its investment and more. Thanks for the response!

By the way... this was a great question!!!

Yup, I agree with Ken. Just find the one niche that really flips your switch and concentrate on that one. Don't let anything distract you from that one campaign. That's not to say that you shouldn't write down all of your ideas. Keep track of all of your ideas because once you have your first website up and functioning properly and do start thinking about your next project or campaign, often you'll have quite a bunch more clarity than when you first came up with some of your ideas.

Yep, I have a folder in my computer dedicated to my niche website. I write down my categories, the products I will promote, stats, ideas, everything. Thanks for the input!

Just my opinion- keep your money unless you're incapable of writing your own content.

WA Affiliate Program
Updated

I know Jaaxy gives thirty free searches, but after that what should I use? I know GAKT, but is there any other FREE keyword tool that I c

I still to this day just use the keyword tool here at WA. I got real hung up on keywords when I first went through Level 1 training. As I did that I quickly used up all of my freebies everywhere and then went to Google's KWT. Fortunately Kyle helped me get past the keyword issues that I was having and got me back to just writing quality content. So, now I use the kw tool here but I don't spend a whole lot of time there.

i would love to know this too, when just starting marketing you really dont want to spend much money until you actually see some tangible benefits. i think i will definitely get Jaaxy paid as soon as i start realizing an online income. the tool is amazing
