Hello guys and girls!
I'm Louie from Lisbon, Portugal, a beautiful sunny country with AWESOME food you're invited and would be most welcome to come and visit.
MY BACKGROUNG
----------------------------
I've been in love with the Internet since I got online for the first time back in 1998! I've also been creating sites (I'm a web developer, cartoonist and a marketer) and earning money with them since the very beginning.
My First Earnings
----------------------------
I don't mean to brag but back in 2000-2001 I made over $10,000 as an online casino affiliate. (Trust me, it was easier back then. Now it's much tougher and harder.)
I liked building websites and having tons of visitors (and earning some revenue from them) so much I decided to follow this path since then.
My Education
----------------------------
I later graduated in Marketing and became a web developer and a computer programmer learning by myself and taking some certifications.
My Recent Online Work
-----------------------------------
For the past years, I've been working in the viral news website online business model and I learned a lot from it. My viral news sites were being monetized with Google AdSense and in my best day I made €75 from it.
WHY AM I HERE
----------------------------
Internet Marketing is like a game for me. I just love it. But I need to learn more (people are always envolving in their knowledge and the world is constantly changing) so here I am.
MORE ABOUT ME
----------------------------
You can learn more about me, on the... 'About Me' page I wrote for the site I created for WA's Affiliate Bootcamp: http://www.buzznitrous.com/about-me/
MY WEBSITES
----------------------------
During the WA training I already launched:
- IncomeProdigy.com - Online Business
- Buzznitrous.com - Digital Marketing
Before WA I already had other sites up and running):
- Redhotmustang.com - my cartoons and webcomics
- Redcodestudio.com (Portuguese website launched in 2005) about Web Development and Internet Marketing
and 3 or 4 more websites.

Hi Louie
You must be beyond busy during the weekend.
With regards to the reordering of WP posts, I would appreciate if you would let me know whether this would affect rankings.
I had asked you earlier whether I can place the most important post at the top by changing the time and date stamp.
Thanks in advance.

I did reply to your earlier question (check the comments below).
But there is also another option (instead of reordering the posts to keep them on the first page): you can add links to your sidebar like I did on my website (check the attached screenshot).
This way all these posts will always have a link from the frontpage/root domain (and from all the other pages and posts that use the same sidebar).

LL

Hi Louie
I created a blog on WA when I signed up as a Premium member in which I talked about the beginning of an exciting journey at WA..
But on completion of the Level 2 training we were asked to create another blog to share our progress and goals.
I did this but I am wondering if I can use the first blog I created for this purpose.
Please advise me on this and thanks in advance

Hey Abdullah!
You can opt for either one of those two choices. I believe that the purpose of that assignment is to get you used to writing and publishing content online as to prepare you for your future daily tasks that you will need to take care of on your niche website.
Personally, when I was on that lesson I created a new separate post specifically for that assignment.

Hi Phil!
The "About Me" page is where you talk about yourself, tell your life story, your experience, why you built your website, the reason that makes you love your niche and that sort of things.
Check my about page, as an example. https://buzznitrous.com/about-me/
Tip: Don't overthink it, just start writing, you can always change it later, as many times as you feel like it. Just give it a try!

Hi Ronald!
You're more than welcome to move to Portugal. It has nice weather, beautiful places to visit and nice houses and appartments to live in.
We also have good music, entertaining and sports (you must become a SL Benfica fan, because that's the best football club in Portugal and in Europe too. Victor Lindelöf plays for Benfica.)
The people are nice and welcoming and the food... well, the food is amazing. :) You'll love it.
I also like Sweden, love its national football team and Ibrahimovic.

Hi Louie... I am just about to begin Lesson 2 and thought I would cruise around the site to familiarise myself with all the links.
Anyway, would you have any specific advice for a newbie like myself to concentrate on. I am VERY committed to making this as successful as possible so would appreciate any advice you could pass on for me to follow.
Also, I understand this is a gradual process but is there any projection on revenue one could earn? As I said, I have ZERO experience so please excuse f these questions seem very naive.
Thank you in advance.

Hey Ross!
My best advices are: focus on your day-to-day tasks instead of spending too much time thinking about your overall outcome (i.e., don't think about money), progress through the training lessons at your own rhythm (there's nothing wrong with going slowly but surely, quite the contrary) and take action on what you learn.
This is not a system or some kind of predefined structure where you can predict that you're going to earn from X to Y amount. Think of affiliate marketing as any other kind of (offline or online) business where people can make a living out of it, a few extra bucks or even nothing at all.
I see it much like growing a plantation: you plant the seeds now to harvest the crops later while continously taking care of your plantation fields and keep planting more and more seeds -- you need to do things right, follow a set plan and wait.
Best of luck,
Louie

Hey, Louie, I came across your Wealthy Affiliate review on Buzz Nitrous. Absolutely awesome and I love the way it is so easy to read and table of contents are amazing. I need your help with something if possible and maybe would be a good post to write about on your website.
I am finding it very difficult to find any information regarding schema and having stars for your reviews come up in google,
Could you tell me how you learned to get these up?
Many Thanks,
Naeem

Hi there Naeem!
Thanks for your compliments.
The thing is I originally am a web developer, that's why I know about and how to use Schema.
Both the table of contents and the start rating system (which uses Schema tags) were developed ("adapted" is a better term, since they aren't really a plugin) by me.
If you want to add a similar star rating system, install and activate this WordPress plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/yet-another-stars-rating/ & for creating tables of content check this out https://wordpress.org/plugins/table-of-contents-plus/
You can learn more about Schema on its official website here: http://schema.org/
If you wanna know where you can find more resources like these, just le me know.

Louie

Hey Louie, good day to you.
I am just reading your WA review, it's awsome.
I think it is the most detailed review on WA.
I like your idea of giving TABLE OF CONTENT in the begining.
But can you pl tell me how to link the the content on the same page?
I don't know if you are getting my question or not, but say I want to read WA pros, I click on it, and it directly goes to the same subtitle.
How to do that?
Thanks

Hi Shudhangi,
Thanks for your compliments.
Those links to specific parts of the same page are called bookmarks. Here's a great explanation about them: http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_links.asp (read the "HTML Links - Create a Bookmark" section).
Now, of course this is HTML so you need to learn how to write this kind of code.
If you don't know how, there's another solution, install a plugin appropriately called "Table of Contents Plus" https://wordpress.org/plugins/table-of-contents-plus/

Thanks, Louie,
I don't know how to write HTML, will definitely try to learn a bit about it. For now, will try for the plugin.
The best part about Table of content is it gives an overview of your article, and the reader can choose what he wants to read or at least have a quick review.
Again Thanks a lot !

Hi Mike!
Affiliate marketing is the less risky online business model there is and is totally worth it.
For brand new websites it will take you about 3-6 months to start seeing some kind of results. So don't expect much before that time frame.
Plus it will really require you true commitment, hard work, effort, time (again) and taking action consistently.

See that little airplane icon on the top right corner of the page? Click on it and then choose "Links & Tracking". Then, on the new page, there's a "Create a Custom Link" button that let's you choose "Custom Homepage Signup" where you can personalize your message like I did.

Hey Louie, I've got a question that I need help with. I am currently at lesson 6 of the Affiliate Bootcamp training and it's about creating content for my website, I wanna ask about whether or not I should turn on the XML sitemap, robots.txt, and etc. I see all these in the All in One SEO pack plug-in and they are not activated yet. And Kyle has not mentioned this yet in his trainings but shouldn't it be turned on by now? So that Google can actually index and find my website? Can you advise on this?
Thanks
Andrew

Hi Andrew.
Yes, turn on that stuff. It's important so that Google can crawl your site better/faster. Also, try to make it easy for Google follow the links to important pages right from your site's homepage (i.e. includes those links on the main page).

Louie

Hello Louie, I am need of your advice, my niche is going to be adult coloring books for stress relief. Should my domain be something like; "How to deal with stress today. siterubix.com." And then name my website, "Adult coloring books." Or should it be "Adult coloring books: An easy way to deal with stress."
Is the domain suppose to be named one thing and the name of the website something else? Or should they be the same?

Site title and domain names should always be the same to make it easier for people to associate one to the other and better memorize your URL.
You should also consider making your site title / domain name something broader in case you find yourself wanting to expand its topic in the future and it won't sound weird for someone visiting.
For example: imagine your niche is "best golf clubs" it would be logical to own the "bestgolfclubs .com" domain. But what if you wanted to start talking about golf gloves, golf shoes, etc in the future? The best idea would be to buy the "bestgolfgear" domain. Or taking it even further... "bestsportsgear". :)

Hi there Bill!
It's ME who has to say THANK YOU for your truly kind words.
Really nice way to start the day. :))
I did my best to not just tell but show everything I know about Wealthy Affiliate. I'm glad my review did its job and helped you.
I'm also here to help you in anything you need during your stay here at WA. Just call me, I'll be there.
Finally, my advice to you is: follow the training here and, most importantly, take action on what you learn. I want you to say this was the best decision you took concerning your online goals. :))
Best of luck,
Louie

I meet a lot of people in my line of work so I am thinking of having a wealthy affiliate business card with my website and email address that I can give them to create traffic on my website. I want to stay true to the wealthy affiliate brand so please help me design a business card. How do I get an email address under wealthy affiliate or can I just use my yahoo email address?
LouieLuc

You can't have an email address like pamela@wealthyaffiliate.com like I told you before. You could have an email address like pamela@pamelagondwe.com if you bought the pamelagondwe.com domain though.
I don't think business cards like that would do that much good to bring traffic to your website. People visit websites looking for content they're interested in, those are the ones who stay and buy stuff. The rest of the people are just looking or browsing.

Hi Louie. I want to move or transfer my siterubix website to my own domain. How do I do that? What exactly is my own domain? I am not sure about this?
LouieLuc
Premium
A domain is a customized web address you purchase at domain name registrar (certified companies that sell them).
WealthyAffiliate.com is a domain name.
SiteRubix.com is a domain name.
You get the idea.
On the other hand:
pamela.siterubix.com is not really your own domain, the "pamela" part is just a subdomain (nothing more than a folder) under the main domain that is SiteRubix.com
The .COM (or whatever extension) is a Top Level Domain (TLD).
If you need to buy a domain the cheapest place to buy them is at NameCheap. Use my link here www.buzznitrous.com/namecheap, I'm their affiliate. :)
Here's a few resources that can help you out: Purchasing a Domain Pointing Your Domain to Your WA Hosting Web Space

Hi Louie. What is a tag name? I was about to publish my first blog when I was asked to add 2 tag names. Explain please? lol
LouieLuc
Premium
WordPress has two kinds of categorizing options: "categories" and "tags".
Think of "categories" as broader kinds of folders (like in your computer) and "tags" as... tags to categorize even better what a post talks about.
E.g., Category "Kitchen Appliances"; Tag "Coffee Makers".

Hi Louie.I seem to have hit a brick wall! Maybe I pressed a rogue button. You remember I mentioned that I can't edit the contents that I published. Well because they only appear in text editor and not in visual editor which is so much easier to use. My contents are not there in visual. I got help from Bert, Loes and Leo. My contents appeared for like a second and then bang! gone again! I don't know what do now. I will appreciate your help.

Your content is still there.
Here's what you should do:
1. Just switch over to the "Text" mode on the WordPress post editor, select and copy everything.
2. Switch back to "View" mode and paste what you've just copied.
3. Edit stuff there -- delete what you don't want -- and don't go the "Text" view (especially without saving your post first) if you're not sure / don't know how to use it.
Hope this helps. :)

Hi Louie. Thanks for the suggestion but I tried copy an paste. It did not work. I tried to deactivate the plugins and activated them again. It did not work. I cleared the cache on firefox. I even logged using a different browser. It did not work. I am thinking of deleting the website and creating another one.

You don't need to delete the website. There must something that you're not doing right.

I'm suspicious to talk about it... but Lisbon is quite pleasant, Sintra (it's beautiful) and Cascais too.
You should also explore the northern part of Portugal like Coimbra (not really really on the north but close), Oporto (our second largest city -- a bit different from Lisbon), the Douro region (where Port wine is produced), the Peneda-Gerês National Park and some other places up north -- just be adventurous.
Finally, I'm sure you'll fall in love with the Azores (I love it) and Madeira islands.
Algarve is nice but I bet you'll enjoy what I'm suggesting too, maybe even more.

What affiliate links are you talking about?

Links don't have to be attached to images or banners in order to convert. Far from that actually.

I probably didn't explain that problem very well. When I brig the code over from the affiliate and paste it in I didn't get the media or picture. I have that pretty good now, but now I can't get rid of the text on my cover page and I can't get any cover page information on it. I'm at another dilemma. If you take a quick peek at my site eventsgalor.com I think you'll see what I'm trying to say.
I have a doctor appointment this am, but should be back by noon Chicago time. If you can offer any help or suggestions I would really appreciate it.

Well Tom, now I get it. :))
This is Javascript code you're talking about. It has to go with the rest of the HTML code which is what really makes a webpage (it's all code on the behind, but you get to see it rendered as web page).
All you have to do is, on your WordPress Post Editor, momentary choose the "Text" mode (top right below your post's title field) and paste the code directly there (on a blank line, of course).
Hit 'Publish' and it should display just fine. :)
Then you can go back to the "View" mode on your post's editor and take from there.
:))
Whenever you need to add any kind of code, you need to do this.
All the best,
Louie
P.S.: I always use the "Text" mode since I'm originally a web developer and I like to code.

You have to edit the page or post that's on your home page (what you call cover page). As I said it's on the post/page editor where you make the changes.

Aloha Louie!
Your information on "What is a Niche Website" was very informative... and simply worded so that even I can understand -- I am "old school", technologically uninclined, and as a result... aging out of the traditional workforce.
I happened upon Wealthy Affiliate quite by accident... wasn't even looking for an online opportunity; I was looking up the name/location of a restaurant I saw on a Food Network TV show called "Mystery Diners" -- something about the show being a Scam popped up; one thing led to another, including "Is Wealthy Affiliate a Scam", I clicked on a comment made by Nathaniell, and next thing you know, I'm hooked... reading all I could find out about Wealthy Affiliate.
I've actually checked out MANY work-at-home opportunities in the past 5 years; one recent business venture I found 2 months ago (Oct. '15) is called MLMBP (Mulit-Level Marketing Blue Print) - founded by Greg Gomes III. He's a good talker; I was convinced and bought the $39 pkg... but like many online businesses, he plays the "Upsell" game, selling videos of himself "training"... I wanted to learn about generating Leads, and bought into the $97 pkg... but still had to pay more $ if I wanted to learn more about generating Leads... including a Workshop in Arizona (Nov. '15) for $5,000! I've been in Sales & Mktg. for many years in the tourist industry (in Hawaii and a few years in San Diego) -- I was onto him, and stopped buying into the Upsells.
The reason I mention this to you, is because GG III makes a big deal about the "Funnel" effect... yet I didn't understand his version of it as much as I understood yours -- and you offered the information for FREE !! But more importantly, you didn't keep talking about yourself and how much you're worth... that made a good impression on me.
Simply put... MAHALO (Thank You) for your insight; I look forward to a bright future with WA.
p.s. - I am 50% Portuguese; immigrants from the Azores and Madeira Islands made their way to Hawaii in the late 1800s - early 1900s... my Great Grandparents were of the generation that immigrated here as young children (Travasso family name). We might be related -- lol !!

Olá Holly!
First off, mahalo for your warm comment on my WA profile, much appreciated. :)))
Secondly, thanks again for your compliments on my training.
That was precisely my goal there: to offer a simple yet detailed resource explaining what a niche website is. I'll be creating more trainings in the future.
(I don't have that much now time since I'm totally focused on my WA Affiliate Bootcamp website www.buzznitrous.com where I post even longer trainings and tips. Actually, that training here is a shorter version of the one I posted on my website.)
Thirdly, multi-level marketing is nothing more nothing less than the pyramid scheme in disguise. Even the Wikipedia says it's unstainable: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramid_scheme
But sales funnels work, are legit and a common practice in online marketing. As long as the seller is a trustworthy person.
Last and not least, every time I find a person from beautiful Hawai'i I tell him/her all about how the Portuguese people have influenced their language, culture and even their famous musical instrument, the ukulele. :)) Portuguese have travelled and been everywhere, really. :))
i love Azores and Madeira and I could only wish I'm lucky enough to visit Hawai'i some day soon.
All the best and much success,
Louie

You're absolutely right about the Portuguese influence; Hawaiians are always claiming Portuguese 'stuff' as their own -- like the chili peppers that were brought in... called "Hawaiian" chili peppers now; and the Sweet Bread? aka "Pao Duce" -- sold all over America as "King's Hawaiian Sweet Bread" (shaking my head)... sheesh!!

Longer content means more keywords being targeted, better content (Google wants quality), more time on site, lower bounce rates, better SEO. Simple enough.

Hey Louie!
I published my first post today on my site http://marriedbuthappy.com around 8 hours back. It is on the front page of my site, however, I wanted this to be posted under the "communication" section and also show on the front page.
1) Is it too late to do this? Will moving it to the other section now affect my SEO? I know my domain name is already indexed but I could not find this particular article URL yet. So I just put it back to "draft" and unpublished it until I can fix the matter. Will this be a problem for SEO?
2) How do I go about fixing this matter?
3) The first post shows as an 'excerpt' on the front page of my site which is just a few lines. I would like the article to show up at least 8-10 lines or how much ever is possible. How can I get this done?

Hi shazman!
1) & 2) I can see your post is already listed under the "Communication" item on your site's menu. Moving between categories or menu items has nothing to do with SEO. It's just how you organize your site.
Unpublished posts (drafts) can't be indexed or ranked. If Google can't find them... it's impossible to SEO them.
3) Excerpts are created automatically (and how they show up on yor front page depends on your theme). To customize them you need to fill out the "Excerpt" field when editing you post.
Or you could have the entire post shown on your front page (just one page though) if you choose to present a page (not a post) on your WordPress settings.
P.S.: A suggestion about your post. Paragraphs should not be longer than 2-3 sentences online, it makes it harder to read when there's a lot of text all at once.

Thanks mate! I've just tweaked a few things around - could you have another look please? Currently I have 'blog' as a page and I've created two sub-pages called Communication & Romance. I plan to add more sub-pages later. The problem I have now is this - I want this article http://marriedbuthappy.com/improve-communication-in-marriage under the Communication sub-page (like a sub-sub-page). How do I do this and how can I update the URL accordingly so it becomes http://marriedbuthappy.com/blog/communication/improve-communication-in-marriage ? I want to do this quickly before the article gets indexed by Google!
Another thing I want your personal advice on - if you were me, would you have categories on the top menu or pages? I checked your buzznitrous site and it seems you have put all pages on the top without using any categories? Is that a good way to go?

Please, you need to call things by their names. :))
"Page" and "Sub-Pages" as you call them have nothing to do with "pages", which are articles such as "posts".
"Pages" just have a different name than "posts" because they are not part of the blogroll (which is the roll of blog posts you can see in your blog's index).
What you mean is "Menu Item" and "Sub Menu Item". Once you learn to call things by their names it'll be easier for you to find where you change things on your WordPress dashboard.
You need to go to Appearance >> Menus to edit your "Primary Menu" (it's a location, not the name, of the menu -- it shows on the top of your blog) and add "menu items" and "sub menu items".
I'm not sure, but I think you already did what you asked me. It's a matter of exploring things around. Learning by yourself is much more valuable, you'll remember how to do things forever.
Don't worry about having to change your posts' urls in a hurry because of Google. Your site is still too young to worry about that. It usually takes 3 months to get a site indexed and about 6 months to get ranked.
You alter your post or page url, by editing them. Below the title, there's a field where you can change your url.
There's no problem in using categories as menu items. I just think it makes more sense to present some kind of content introducing whatever it is the menu item refers to, instead of a blogroll of posts belonging to a category.
I just don't understand why you have a menu item named "blog". Your site is already a blog... it does not make sense to me. Just my personal opinion. It would only make sense if all the rest of the menu items pointed to something different that a blogroll and even if the index page (home) wouldn't show your blogroll.
:)
Hope it helps!
"Page" and "Sub-Pages" as you call them have nothing to do with "pages", which are articles such as "posts".

Hi Louie!
Good meeting you here...I was just having a look see at the video training from Kyle and saw your comment, so swinging by here...It sounds like you have a well-established presence online and are quite comfortable with it...
I am starting (about 6 months total) but have been using the internet only for websites and social platforms with offline businesses over the years prior (many years lol)...
There is a huge market potential still I believe using online marketing and the internet for products, services and tools, in my mind ones that you own and can sell, through funnels, videos, affiliates, and PPC, in addition to organic traffic...
The organic traffic takes the most time to establish from my brief time focusing on online sales. Especially with content marketing...Hence my gradual move towards videos...Easier to rank, easier to get to page one on Google, etc.
Anyway, have a great day and look forward to learning from you! I am looking at some property in Portugal BTW, some really cool wineries that are relatively inexpensive through some friends in Berlin...Be a great place to spend part of the year!
Cheers,
Dave

Hello David!
You're still relatively new with online businesses but I think -- from what I'm reading -- that you're definitely on the right track. :))
You're totally right! On the spot. YouTube videos usually rank easier and faster (Google loves to promote its own sites, like YouTube) and people consume videos way better than other types of content.
I would also bet on YouTube Ads which are still cheap and have great potential. :))
BUT don't forget or give less importance to organic traffic. Once you post your content (and spend 4x more time promoting it) it will pay off in the future, for years to come.
Thanks so much for stopping by. :)) Nice to meet you too.
About Portugal -- I would love to have a property with a vineyard along with its winery, of course -- I'm falling more and more in love with that kind of landscape.
Actually, one of our TV channels is airing a soap opera that shows how beautiful the Douro region is. It's simply breathtaking and very nice to spend some months per year. So check that region when you go looking for something to purchase or visit.
All the best,
Louie

Louie it just ROCKS that you've been hooked up on the net since it was born, practically! I got dragged into it reluctantly and didn't really "get it" until I was forced to stop using direct mail for business and tried Adwords and POW! OMG I turned into a fiend... to the tune of about $15k a month and I loved how I could click that sucker off and stop the phone calls, or vice versa. I never even bothered with SEO cause I got ripped off a few times by web guys and no way did I have time to learn it myself. I was lucky to have a web designer partner but he knew crap about SEO. He didn't even think Adwords would work... UNTIL IT DID HAHAHAHA
I'm really looking forward to following your stuff! Very nice to meet you. -Alexx

Thanks so much for your words and for letting me know about your experience online. I think the Internet commercially started in 1994 or 1995 but it was so slow and expensive.
When I got it for the first time on December 31st, 1998 -- although I had already seen what it was on a friend's computer -- it was still slow and expensive, at least here in Portugal. We had to pay for phone bills + Internet package (I burned a lot of money then, lol), but then the Internet package became free. And some time later broadband net came along. :))
Yeap, AdWords can really work. As can Facebook ads and YouTube Ads too. You got to try that!

At least here in Portugal, they started selling these bundles with everything together: cable TV, Internet, landline phone (unlimited national calls) and mobile phones (unlimited calls + unlimited sms nationally) all for from like €45 up (or something around that amount, I can't recall) for the basic bundle.
The battle now is to lower the price of mobile net packages (and to improve the service and speed which is AWFUL).
Internet connections should be FREE, ultra fast and available everywhere.

Also, if you don't mind me asking, what program do you make your graphics, or do you use multiple programs? Such as the "FOCUS" profile image.

Hi Scott, thanks! I'm only focusing on http://Buzznitrous.com at the moment, my other sites are somewhat abandoned right now.
Are you referring to my profile pics?
The "FOCUS" pic is not mine, I found it somewhere online.

Louie, I see you are making some good progress through the Affiliate Bootcamp. Just wanted to pop by and see if you need a hand with anything?
I also wanted to mention the success rates of Bootcamp. Absolutely everyone that has taken action on all of the phases of Bootcamp has a business that is generating consistent income online. MANY of these folks are going to be at our super affiliate conference next year.
I want this to be you and I want you to succeed with your promotions. So, please promise me that if you ever need a hand or feel stuck as you move forward, that you will get in touch with me!
Trust me, I know things can be a little overwhelming sometimes and I don't want you feeling like that.
Anyways, just checking in. Get back at me if you need anything Louie.

I'm okay Kyle, thanks so much for stopping by! :)
That was so cool of you.
I just took a moment to get a cool domain name and spend some time choosing the right niche (or my niche approach / angle to be more precise).
I like to think things over so I don't miss a thing and review the lessons. (Or else I'll kick myself in the future for going to fast and making silly mistakes. I know myself.)
I also took this time to make my site ready to boost the biggest number of referrals that I can bring to WA.

Hello!
Congratulations on a wise decision to become a premium member. The benefits are endless.
I've been with WA for about 8 weeks, and without any prior website training, I've been able to create 2 fully functional websites (ProSportsGamblers.com and IncomeCashCredit.com) and I'm currently working on my 3rd site.
Please take advantage of this awesome training and if there is anything I can do to help, please contact me. All the best to you!

It's still a work in progress. I started March 12th as premium member. The sites are paying for my membership fee. I don't any real money until I start ppc advertising. You just have to keep posting good content. As with any business startup, you usually don't see a profit for one to two years.

Hi there Kyle! I've spend this entire week on WA, literally. I have finished the 'Getting Started Course 1' (Is there a way of going back to read those lessons again? Because the 'Get Started Here' green button is stuck at Course 2, Lesson 1 and there is no back button.)
I've started the Affiliate Bootcamp but I'm still not sure if I pick that niche or another to take action on what I'm learning. (Before WA I already had the idea of entering the 'make money' niche to talk about passive income ideas, online business models) and even starting a podcast about it (with interviews and stuff like that). That would be super cool and powerful to promote WA as an affiliate and get some extra new members.
The other nice ideas I got, they seem like there so few searches that I'm note sure if they would work. :S

Hey Kyle, just a question about my MMO niche approach. I'm thinking in writing about the ad creation / ad placement (where ads on your site perform better) / ad performance boost / Facebook Ads, etc; i.e. the advertising side of promoting a site / blog / business of the greater MMO niche. (And as a kind of 101 to online businesses I'l suggest WA). What do you think about my MMO niche idea? I'll head through the affiliate bootcamp right away. :)
