I really like writing, so I'm not concerned about that. I just saw a Flippa listing where the site owner said she paid $25 per article to help her fill out her website content.
Good question Lizzie. I still feel it could more insightful writing you own articles because you have the first hand imagination and impressing the market with your personal ideas is wow in return.
Experience is exposure, perhaps the first few may be a bit difficult but with time the race becomes nicer as the body warms up.
I have no clue though for the writers, it would be good sharing.
update me incase you succeed getting one. Wishing you all the best
You usually get what you pay for. A 500 word article will cost between $50 and $100 for a native speaker, and varies greatly based on the subject matter.
What is your experience of paying people to write articles?

I purchased Stored theme (http://themeforest.net/item/stored-ecommerce-wordpress-theme-for-cart66/1196832 - so you know what I'm talking about!) because it has an option to run in
I changed my theme to Catch Box, it automatically created and moved my content to a more appropriate position. I like this theme, it is a very likeable theme for what I wish to achieve. Here is what my site with the theme looks like, keep in mind I am not live yet. I have some other training and content to add, as well as adding affiliate link information.

Advice on designing amazon affiliate web store please?

It has a few bad reviews. I LOVE the idea of customers being able to add multiple amazon affiliate products to the cart on my site, then pressing 'proceed to checkout' and purc
I have been using Prosociate for a few months now and I have to say that it is a good plug-in! Unfortunately it's pretty useless on websites hosted here on WA because the hosting will not allow Amazon images to show in posts or in uploaded media in Wordpress if uploaded from Prosociate or similar plug-ins( I have tried a few and none work in WA) You will need a different hosting provider if you wish to use Prosociate. I recommend this plug-in 100% and I'll tell you why:
1. uses a 90 day cookie if a customer adds an item to cart.
2. You can configure a cron job so all your products stay up to date when price changes,out of stock or item deletion occurs on Amazon. (I recommend Cronny Cron job plugin for this because it's easier to set up)
3. It will post up to 100 items complete with description, All images for each product, Add to cart or buy now from amazon and related comments from amazon and/or from your own customers.
I do not recommend this plug-in for single niche product or for blogs! TIP: Instead I would set up a shop website then link to it from such sites like a blog by using a shop link.
You will need Woocommerence for Prosociate to work .
Finally I also recommend that if you use this plug-in be very careful not to batch post the same product category twice because you will end up getting duplicate posts.
Hope this helps

I ended up writing a review of this plugin and do NOT recommend it for WA members: http://onemorecupof-coffee.com/my-problem-with-prosociate-a-surprising-review/
I just read your review great post by the way! I am not recommending this plug-in for WA, But for shop sites on other hosting plans. I kinda of agree with your review, But the plug-in has been updated a few times since (NOT the free one you get on WP plug-in search do not use that one!) and I think I use this plug-in in a different manner.
You can edit product posts and set up seo for each, I have had products set up to either go straight to amazon or to a cart then check out to amazon difference being that each product will show BUY=go straight to amazon or Add to cart=cart page then check out to amazon AND you choose to have credit card payments, paypal features set up or not, But not through Prosociate! Its through Woocommerence and is intended for sellers who have actual products or have Amazon advanced payments setup with SSL.
It still takes work if you want to get products ranked by editing each product. If I didn't have a theme issue and didn't have to start my site all over I would show an example lol. I do recommend this plug-in for shop sites, BUT I also don't recommend this for WA members and should keep going with the training and methods here!,
As for me I started a gifting community website not hosted here and I chose Prosociate after doing research and I did come across your review before, But this plug-in was better then the one I had used before especially for the auto update feature for when items are no longer available or price changes because I have a lot of products from different shops other then amazon.
To be honest I don't think it was appropriate for me to reply about it here in WA, I was just trying to explain how it works. Sorry for the long post 0.o
No worries Darryl! I just wanted to keep Lizzie here on the right track and not get distracted by any shiny objects :)
Personally, I would not deviate from the training at this point. Many folks want to have an ecommerce style site for 'shopping', but I'm not sure that this really works for affiliate marketing.
I guess that's the point of this plugin...to have people add multiple items to the cart then check out at amazon, but as craig mentioned, I'm not sure I'd use this one.
I've found much more luck doing individual product reviews and having someone buy a specific product based on that review, rather than trying to provide a shopping experience similar to an ecommerce site. That's what the WA training teaches.
You can definitely experiment if that's what you want to do though, I don't want to stomp out anyone's business creativity here!
I guess that's kind of contradictory to the advice I left below of "go ahead and try it", but on second thought, and after craigs analysis of the plugin, I figured I'd better give you the low-down.
Yup, and coincidentally I just happen to have created a tutorial for it.

The plugin was last update in February, has only 4 reviews and 2 of these are 1 star. First Red flag.
Of the 5 support requests only one has been resolved. 2nd red flag.
this is just a cursory look at the plugin but it doesn't instill confidence.
Wow...that is a very helpful question. There must be, let's expecte some positive feedback.
I have no idea but would be something I'd be interested in seeing if it's a good idea also. Great question!

Last week I embedded a video using the old embed code, but today I was trying to do it and it wasn't giving me that option. Have they changed the embed options or am I doing som
go to Share > Embed and the code should be the same. The little box is different, but the code inside is the same.
Has youtube changed the old embed code option?

Do not be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment.
