Hi Ann, please bear with me... I'm still trying to answer your last question. You've got me going down the Google Analytics rabbit hole at the moment,.. hehe...

Hi Ann, your site is looking great and I love your idea of creating a gallery of pins for books relevant to depression - I would also add links to articles you've written on the subject.

A couple of little things: you're posting your articles as Admin. It always looks better and generates more comments if you post in your own name.

I know you're doing the Super Affiliate Challenge, but I would encourage you to go back and complete the actual Training. I see you're still only at Level 1 of the Online Certification Training which is why you're missing some crucial steps.

I am at fault myself on this one as I haven't completed Affiliate Bootcamp yet - so I also have gaps in my knowledge.

I would add Featured images on all posts.

Don't forget to add your site to your Profile under the section: "Follow Me On" so other WA members can also find it easily.

Thanks Lauren

I do intend to add featured images to all my posts but just havent got round to doing it yet. Not very good at organising myself that way.

I will do as you suggest and go through the Online Certification Training.

Thanks for taking the time to look at my site. Havent done much in the past week as family just take over at times.

Kind Regards
Ann

Totally understand, Ann. All a work in progress.
You are doing fabulously well.
Enjoy your family.

Aw, Thanks Colette and Philip. That's very kind of you.
You're doing great too! Love how active you are at WA.
Wishing you all the very best.

I was so grateful to Lynne Huysamen for teaching me how to make money with my websites while still building up traffic.
Wishing you all the best as you grow your online empire.

I love your wish, Anne! You too write beautifully. Thank you so much for your constant encouragement and support. It means the world to me.

Thanks so much Debs. Deeply grateful to Ariel too for orchestrating this immense outpouring of love from everyone.

Oh nooo, Taetske... what happened to your computer? I've been wondering where you are! Thank you so much for taking the time and trouble to send me this message, sans computer. You are such a special friend. Missed you!

Good Morning Lauren,

Thank you for your nice message.
I will write a little WA post on what happened to my computer. I hope to publish it tomorrow. I am writing on Michael's computer but it feels clumsy and I do not have access to all my things. Hope that I will get a new one this week.

Greetings from the south of Spain, Taetske

Good Morning Taetske, My pleasure. Hope you will too, my friend. Looking forward to reading your post. Much love from Sunny Cape Town.

You can add both your website and Facebook links to your Profile under "Follow Me on" . Adding internal links to WA blogs is fine. Adding links to your website within WA blogs is not.

Hi James, I may not be the best person to ask as I think it took me longer than most members to start making money and I'm only just starting to crack affiliate marketing this year.
I earned my first $50 online in May 2016 from Website Testing. I blogged about this on WA here: Yay! Just Made my First $50 Online! Then there were many months of no income. I really only started earning from my blogs in January 2017 when I started allowing paid guest posting on my blogs on Fiverr. You can read up about that here: Just made Level 1 Seller on Fiverr For a good few months, I earned ad hoc income from Fiverr and also started getting a few email enquiries so I added paid guest posting as a service on my site.
Mid-November last year, my paid guest posting income reached a new level. I had my first $100 day and my first $650 month. My First 100 Dollar Day! My highest earning month was in January 2018 when I earned $724 but in February my income dropped to $379 so I think paid guest posting has pretty much run its course.
I've always felt the real money is in affiliate marketing and creating and selling our own ebooks and courses online.
What I recommend you do is to keep following the training here at Wealthy Affiliate.
If you're not doing the Super Affiliate Challenge officially, follow along and you will see success coming to you faster. Here's a link to the Challenge: Super Affiliate Challenge - 12 Month Intensive Training You can find more detail in my income report posts on my blog about blogging. I will add these links to my profile as we are not allowed to add links to our websites in comments except in specific places like the Site Comments Thread. (Technically your comment would be viewed as spam on WA). If you are looking for website feedback, click here:

Or here: Please Give Me Feedback on My Website One final word: It takes time to build an authority site and start earning income, keep posting and hang in there.

Hi Stella, Thanks for your lovely message. I have 3 blogs, all very different, so just to clarify: Are you meaning my call to Action at the top of Inspiring Mompreneurs? I didn't use a plugin for that. It was a Promotion Headline in the WordPress Theme Adventurous. I don't know CSS either but I always format my widgets in a post first and then copy and paste the code (from text section).
Does that help? Please feel free to send me a PM if I can assist you further.

That's the one - It would justify your high opt-in rate!

I will PM you to find the position between the '><' that I should paste the code.

Thanks for helping me out Lauren..

Pleasure Stella.

Hi Robert, wow - that's a lot of blog posts! Awesome! Will do. Thanks.

Hi again Lauren, 399 blogs now and composing my 400th today.
Pick out the ones you believe will help you now in conjunction with the training and you wont go far wrong.
have a great Monday.
Robert

Thanks for the advice, Robert.

Awesome, Michelle! Lovely to meet you.

Aw, Thanks, Kathleen. Lovely to meet you and delighted to hear you're finding my posts inspiring. WIshing you all the best as you work through those growing pains.

Hi Catherine, Thanks. Lovely to meet you and all the best to you for 2018 too. Let's do this!

Thanks a million Jacqueline. With all your interests and skills, I just know you will do well. Have a fab weekend.

Hi Debra, okey dokes, PM sent. Lovely to meet you too.

Pleasure Phildora! Same to you! Can't wait to see you adding to your list of travel destinations with cash you've made from your website!

Thank you very much, Lauren!

Hi Chandra, lovely to meet you. and thanks for the kind words. I love what you have founded too. You are one special lady, a bringer of peace and love.

Hi James, thanks, for the follow and for the compliment.
I have a lot on the go at the moment, I will get to your website as soon as possible.
In the meantime, do you know about the Feedback thread? Kyle has set this up specifically for Feedback. Please Give Me Feedback on My Website

Hi James, I had a chance to look at your website and it's brilliant. You're doing a great job. Love the colour, the images, the layout. It's really great. Keep doing what you're doing. I left you a comment on your latest post.

Good morning, thank you for positive words, and I appreciate it and replied. Your point will be complementary to what I meant. Please look at my note and comment what may arise from your heart. Together we can make our world better than ever day by day.

In addition, I do not mind any harsh words which will deliver a real punch for improvement. I can not fail in e-marketing endeavor.

Warm regards,


James

Thanks, Sharon. Likewise. Always wonderful to meet a kindred spirit online.

Thanks a million, Gary. All the best on your WA journey.

Hi Stephan, the short answer to your question is Go For It! WA has all the training and tools you need to build your online career. Don't be in a rush to earn, give it time.
My advice to you starting out is:
Build your own free website in your first couple of weeks by following the Online Certification Training.
Then do Bootcamp Phase 1.
Then upgrade to Premium, the first month is only $19.
Continue with your Online Certification Training and Bootcamp Training.
On 24 November WA will most likely run their Black Friday special. If they offer the same special as last year you will be able to buy an entire year at WA for around $299 and be locked into that rock-bottom price forever.
Take advantage of the Black Friday Special. Go Yearly.
That gives you a year to build rich content and start making some affiliate sales. Wishing you all the best.

Thanks, Lauren jean, I do take in that advice and will do as you say. Slow and steady.

Would it be okay if I take your help at times just to run you through my thoughts process and niches etc? If there was someone I would like to be 2 years from now - you would be the perfect role model. Thanks!

Aw, thanks for the compliment. Sure thing. Happy to help.

My pleasure, Gail. I also really enjoyed reading your profile and just left a comment on your 10 tips for newcomers blog - well done you. Lovely to meet you!

Thanks so much for your great comment both here and on my post, Jeff! Appreciate! Glad you enjoyed my post so much. Lets hope outsiders do too.

Hi Tammi, thanks for sharing your lovely story. My son is all but weaned now (he's nearly 4) and I also took some flack for continuing so long but it wasn't about me or them, it was about him. :) I'm so glad I allowed him to wean naturally, gradually.
My blog URL's are to the right below my profile images and WA blogs and trainings. That's the one place we are allowed to advertise our sites on WA. :)
Will be lovely to keep in touch.
Xxx

I think so too.

My best friend breast fed all her kids until they were almost 4, but I thought that was a long time! but 2 is nothing compared to 4 girl! :) It's good bonding time up until 2 :)

Lovely to meet you Terry. 2 is awesome! Good for you. Whatever works for you and your family. It's all good. :)

I know that my son and I have a relationship that is unlike some of the relationships where some mothers did not breast feed at all, or just for a few months. We are so "tuned" into one another...it's great!!!

Thanks, Jacquie! Lovely to meet you! How cool. :) Always fab to find likeminded Moms on WA. Also feel at home here, I know exactly how you feel - I'm not going anywhere.

Thanks Cindy! Oh my goodness... I am shocked at that story!! Its hard for me to understand that kind of mindset - to be against something so natural.

Hi Karen, lovely to meet you!
That's so cool. You're off to a very fast start!
I'm not on facebook but I'm now following you on Twitter and Google :)
https://twitter.com/inspiringmompre
https://plus.google.com/+InspiringMompreneurs
I'll go check out your blog post now. :)

Lauren

I've just followed you on both - have a great week :)

Hi Pernilla, thanks for the compliment! I don't feel very productive right now... am slowing it all down to do the training. Appreciate your positive encouragement. ;)

So true, Carol. Lovely to meet you.

Hi Taetske, thanks so much.
Aah.. mother nature, we have a similar passion for all things natural.
I can't seem to find the world library post on either of your sites or your WA blogs. Whats the title of your post? Xx

Hello Lauren,

It is under my WA posts, The Spanish priest, and the world Library.

Greetings from the south of Spain, Taetske

Thanks so much for following up Taetske. Fascinating story and a wonderful resource. Thanks for sharing. :)

Ha ha Steve. Its been a while since I chose my niches... I'm just starting the Certification Training again, this time watching the videos. Realised I missed important info right at the start.

Thanks Terry, will do.

You're most welcome Lauren, thanks for taking time to visit and read the blog too. Terry

Thanks Steve. Totally agree! Been Premium all year!

Aw, thanks so much for your comments Indahpermai. I just read your profile too, and am really happy to meet you too. Mommies unite across the world. :)

Yeay! I like that - mommies unite across the world. It gives me an idea for a new website. :)

Fab!! Go for it!!
