Email Marketing

I used a spam blocker plug in to prevent people from bombarding my blog with spam in the comments section. It works very well.


Does WA have a similar tool to block

You may try WP Armour – Honeypot Anti Spam

https://wordpress.org/plugins/honeypot/

We do have built in spam blockers for "comments' on your website, and this is done at a server level. So no need for a plugin, but there are still comments that will slip through the cracks and this is done by folks that are submitting comments manually, but doing so with spam.

But automated "bot" spam is taken care of on our end. ;)

Yes, the tools WA provides work well for keeping spam out of the comment's section of my blog. I'm talking about stopping spam on the WA email that I set up through Site Manager. It's getting pretty out of hand.

Getting Started

I started my blog three years ago and added a podcast the following year in 2021. The podcast is embedded on my blog website. And over the last couple years, it has become more

You can upload to SoundCloud and embed share in your blog, making the website load faster.

You can repurpose content however you like as well.

I did a podcast for a while, so I know how much it can be. The trouble with podcasts IMO is that they are not naturally searchable. If you cover a topic on a podcast, your followers get notified, but podcast apps search function sucks, so it's unlikely that your individual episode turns up in any meaningful way. Lost to time.

With Search Engines, however, your podcast topic can be indexed forever.

So basically what I'm saying is that every single podcast topic should be converted into a written post, and published on your blog.

You can do the quick and dirty way an just have it auto-translated. It's messy and not a good user experience, but it'll do the job and get you traffic. You could also have it manually translated, which costs some money, but can be cheap if done with overseas translators.

You could also do everything yourself, or have a good VA transform it into a truly separate blog post with images, video, and of course the podcast embedded. This is the best, but also requires the most time, money, etc to get done.

Hi Karl,

I started a podcast on Spotify but I have only been on a couple of times. I ran All Family Matters for a year from my phone just for fun.

I learned a lot and it was a pretty funky experience.

How many of you have a podcast to go along with your blog?

I am thinking about moving another website over to Wealthy Affiliate. How much would that cost and how long would it take?

It doesn't cost anything to Migrate your website to WA. As a Premium Member, you can host up to 10 Websites here.

You can either migrate your website over yourself, I recommend using the All in One WP Migration Plugin, or you can ask SiteSupport to assist you with this.

As for the Domain Name, you can either point the Nameservers to WA for free, or you can transfer your domain name to WA. ICANN charge 1 Years' Renewal Fee to change the Registrar, but you will get 1 Year added to your current expiry date. Either way, you will want to change your nameservers before you complete the Transfer.

You might find these tips helpful as well

Hi, $14 yearly privacy included. One year gets added to your domain name on a transfer and it has to be a dot com, dot net or dot org.

Other extensions you'd have to point to WA servers.

Or you may keep it where it is and just point it.
