I think you can totally include you amazon stuff on this website. Why start a brand new site when you can just incorporate your product reviews into your current one. As long as the products are somewhat relevant, it's fine. I've thought about doing portable 4G network bank reviews for my MMO site, because when you work online, it helps to have an internet connection even when in remote locations.
Cameras, computers, equipment are definitely relevant to running an online business.
Thx Nathaniel you always respond to my Qs and appreciate it. My only worry about Cameras, computers, equipment etc is it might be over saturated. What do you think?
There will be competition in ANY niche, and that's a good thing. It means people are making money! You'll have to work to establish yourself in the niche, but everyone has to work. I wouldn't worry too much about competition.
Imagine if there was never any room for new businesses. People would have stopped opening coffee shops long ago!
Plus, you have a unique angle (niche). Rather than just "What's the best camera", it's "What's the best camera for bloggers".
I don't think it's a great idea to mix hardware and software. I looked at your site and it seems that it's mostly concerned with paid Genesis Themes. So your theme is about finding the right Wordpress template to build a blog.
If I go to your site looking for information on themes, that's what I want to look at. Finding posts not directly related to themes would be very confusing.
They really are a different niche. Video is huge these days. I'm sure a site devoted to video equipment for bloggers who want to add video and reviews of decent video and audio equipment would do very well. Good luck!
Thx for replying, I think I've got a lot to think about, but I thought it'd save me trying to get another site established when I've already got one doing well. I've seen others do it and done well.
I'd like to see an example if you have one. I am certainly no expert by any means, you can always try it and see what happens. :-)

I've got a problem with my website and I've been told to clear my website cache, does anyone know how to do this?
I know how to clear my browser, so please don't mistake
I found this because I was looking up how to clear server cache. My theme recommended clearing plugin cache, theme cache (which my theme offers), server cache (for places like WA, blue host, etc), as well as browser cache when I update them related plugins. I was able to do everything except server cache. Thanks for posting the question.
Hi I hope I'm hearing you right. you can't get a theme preloaded with cache cleaner, you have to use a plugin. I use Fastest cache plugin, it's very good and its never given me any issues. Get back to me if you need more help ;)
Hi I got it sorted last night, I think I installed fastest cache plugin or something like that. It didn't sort my problem lol.
If you are using a caching plugin then that has an option to clear the cached pages.
If you aren't using a caching plugin and aren't using something like Cloudflare or a CDN, then there won't be a cached version of your site on the server.
Look at this article, maybe it will help! if not contact support to guide you!https://uk.godaddy.com/help/clearing-the-server-cache-using-website-accelerator-8057

My site has been acting weird for about a week or so. I have submitted a support ticket to WA and they say it's okay, but at my end it looks bad. WA have told me to check it on
If you have a look at hte addresses you have given they are for two different domains. Clearly we can see www.bloggersrefuge.com which incidentally looks great. The second URL which is webpressctreations etc is what you can see.
What you need to find out is why you re being redirected to the second address but we are not.
No it's not redirecting, the other site is my dummy site showing you images what I see on my bloggers refuge. It appears it's my wifi provider because people are reporting my site is fine. Why this site though and not my others? I don't get it?

With my affiliated links I've never added the rel="nofollow", but only with non affiliate links.
To me, it makes no sense to add a nofollow on affiliate links such as Weal
Jay does it, Kyle and Carson don't do it. Depends on who you ask.
It's not part of the WA training, so I wouldn't worry about doing it. There are some instances where I do it, when I need to link to a site I don't like or don't want to be associated with (sometimes with these scam reviews), but I don't use it for affiliate links.
Other sources of info will tell you that it's a "must", but it's only an option. I would focus on your users, which can't tell the difference between follow and nofollow!
Thank you, that was helpful....have seen it brought up and have been pondering on it for a while..Lol..no more though.:))
Great question Sharon, I was wondering about this as well. Going to see what other answers are given. :))
Adding a no follow link for affiliate links has never been suggested in the training. The idea of the no follow link is to stop spamming, and some sites add the "no follow" automatically. As an example, if I comment on your site then wordpress "should" automatically make any links I include into "no follow" links.

Hi Sharon. Welcome to WA and this awesome community, great to meet you :)
Personally, I say start out with your travel site. Especially while you learning and figuring out the ropes and your groove :) It's seems to me you have a higher value on travel and that will get you through the more challenging times in the learning phase with more ease.
This is a crazy stat, only 1% of the global population is financially independent... Whaaat? I know right? Not a lot at all, so it really doesn't matter how many people are in a market or niche... Learn what the 1% are doing and then apply it in your own life and business and you will be able to make a profit in any niche :)
There is a saying/joke (depends on how it's said, lol) here in South Africa that goes.
You don't have to out run the Lion... Just make sure you're faster than the last person ;)
Hi, I love Africa, I'm going back there one day. I have only been to the north, but next time it will be the south. I have many friends from South Africa too. Thx for your help.
Hi - it's normally recommended to go through the affiliate bootcamp (black button on the left) course, if you're unsure about your niche choice and/or unsure about how to setup a site and promote it etc. I see you've already used WP from your profile, so I don't think the learning curve will be steep for you.
If you know that your niche is travel, and that's your real passion - I would start with the certification courses (green Get Started Here button on the left).
However, I would try and narrow down your niche a little, as you say yourself, it's quite broad.
Tell me if you already know all this from your previous blogging etc that you've done - but as an example, you could narrow in on "travelling with teenagers" for example, or "travelling with teenagers and pets" (pet travel has a large market). That way, you can really target a smaller group of people - giving you a better chance to edge into the wider travel market.
I'm sure you know what I mean, but if not, please post back.
All the best, Mark
Good info, I've done the 1-5 lessons, I was already familiar with this anyway and Bootcamp looks just as easy. You're right I need to narrow my niche a little.

Two different niches, two different sites. However, don't spread yourself too thin.
