Hey Lynne, just read your bio . sorry to hear that you are an alcoholic. I am a distiller ( so I make it ) I actually have writing my first post on if alcohol is good or bad . It is very basic and I am not going into detail. What I want to say is, great to know that you actually could leave the alcohol away. very big achievement.
I just wanted to say hi and wish you all the best
Koen

Hi Lynne

It's a wet Easter Sunday in Pmb and I have just had a look at your blog on email management. It was just what I have been thinking about because I need to add an email address to my Privacy Policy. Watching your video made me feel proud - a veritable tour de force!

Incidentally, I believed that I should know what 'kaboutjie' meant and considering our historical links with New Zealand, you may find this amusing. I keyed 'kaboutjie' into Google translate and nothing came up so I tried 'kabou' and Google replied 'translate from Maori?'

Best wishes for the future.
Regards

Wow Happy Belated Birthday Lynne. I have just recently started learning how to use social media for marketing and chose Twitter to start with. I thought maybe I would write a training about Twitter while I created my account, etc. I did a search and found Twitter loaded down and most of it from you. I think maybe I need to study what you have to say. You have created some awesome content. I've got a lot to learn.

Hi, Lynne, it is nice to meet you and also Happy Birthday too. I just wanted to drop by and say Hi and let you know that I am willing to help you out as much as I can.

I haven't been here that long only a year and I am still learning different things and sometimes it is overwhelming but I am still here plugging away hoping and praying that I will make a difference too,

My goal I haven't met yet and that is to make a full-time income online but I am steady working it though. If you get a chance maybe you can check out my site and give me some pointer if you don't mind.

I am in the middle of correcting some mistakes that I have made. And working on some new ideas and articles too. I just wanted to thank you in advance for your help.

Mary

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LYNNE!
And THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.
May you be as blessed as you bless others.

Hi Lynne, I have to say that I am really impressed with what you've been able to achieve online also your story is truly inspiring. I happened to be lurking on the live chat and saw where you said you've published over 1600 articles! As a newbie and a person that doesn't exactly have huge passion for writing, that number just seams soooo unreachable. Are there any special techniques that you use before you post new article?

I overcame addiction cold turkey ( as we say in the USA ) many years ago, Lynne. It can be done if you have the will power and resolve to be free of both ( if that is one's problem ).

You would be amazed at how much alcohol I consumed on a weekly basis. Congratulations on your ongoing recovery.

Chuck

Hey Lynne! How are things with you, it's been ages since I saw you active here :) Hope things are well with you and your business is growing!

I'd like to ask you a quick question since I know you're a pro when it comes to Pinterest.

Basically, I'd like to open a second Pinterest account but also have the boards/followers from the first account to be shown on the second one. I'm pretty sure you mentioned it in your training videos but now I can't find this info :(

Thank you!!

Hi there Lynn,

I just joined WA and am also a fellow South African. I'm very new to this type of
Online business. I've often felt a disconnection with technology (even though I'm 28 years old),
but I want to learn new skills regarding affiliate marketing and online business in general.

Congrats for how far you come regarding addiction and alcohol. I have so much respect for anyone who overcomes
These challenges.

Anyways, I just wanted to say hi and I will definitely keep in touch.

Good for you girl! I have had life experience with addiction, recovery and misaligned mental health. Well being and support is such a good space to encompass and not without its challenges! You inspire! Thanks for you and the contribution you make! Have a solid 2019 ahead and all the best to you and your famjam!

Hi Lynne,

Congrats on your successes! I just joined WA - I'm a psychotherapist currently working in addictions. I haven't struggled with addictions myself, but have battled through mental health issues myself so I understand how rewarding it can be to help others that way.

If you don't mind me asking, what are your websites about?

K

Hi Lynne

Great to meet you and I just wanted to say hello as I’m now following you. Many congratulations on turning your life around and I admire your progress in now making a full time income from an online business.
I hope I can learn from your many experiences, as my goal is to travel the world in our camper/RV/motorhome with a reasonable flow of passive income coming from my online work.

Kind regards Rob

Hi Lynne, how are you? i've tried to open up that pay oneer site you made the video about though its asking me for a BIC id. Do you know what that is? I can't find anything about it online and thought you may have had the same issue.
love & smiles,

Hi Lynn,
I am inspired by your honesty and transformation and I'm sure you have already been such to many people. I'm glad you've gone full time here in WA, which is a feat in itself. I'm only 1 month and 3 days here and I see how much involved it is to be successful. You are one example that success is possible with WA.

Hi lynne how im at the last 2 days of my trail.

And i am almost done with lesson 1 and need to go to premuim.

I am considering it. But am scared it might not work. It is a quite a bit of money. But if it is worth it its worthit.

Do you think is should go for it or not?

Hi Lynne. I'm so glad to see you at the top of my feed today. What an encouragement you and your success at earning a full time income online.

I hope to get there too. I've finally decided to have a go at the passion surrounding my kids' muscular dystrophy that I went through as a parent and now help those still going through it now.

I'm also sober and going to meetings now for 13 years. I love the new way of life that I have found in the rooms of recovery too.

Have a great day!

Tim

Lynne, here's a Pinterest question. I have a large collection of old cards with pictures that fit my niche. Can I photograph some of these and make Pinterest pins with them, or does that constitute a copyright problem? When you make up your pins, where do you get your images?

Hi Lynne,

Glad to see you doing so well on here.

Can I link to an article on your website please? It's the one about cycling being good for mental health. I've just left a comment too.

I'll PM you my post link to make sure you're happy with the content.

Many thanks

Hi Lynn I have a pretty general question to ask you, due to your expertise and wonderful practical tutorials.

My question is regarding canva:

Is it possible to separate each image box and add affiliate links to each?

Also how do I add a Html embed code to the 3 sided brochure?
Would I need to download and edit or is it possible within canva?
I understand the html code is only paste-able in the TXT editor side and not otherwise.
So im wondering how to embed a html in canva too?

Hello Lynne,

Just ran upon your profile while searching for Pinterest training.
Wow I skimmed through it all, now I'll go back to training implement it on my side. I won't forget to like each one for you. :)

If I have a question or 2 for you may I PM you?

Started to follow you today and looking to hear more from you.
Thanks for all your hard work here at WA.

Markus

Hey hey Lynne, I know you're probably bored at being mentioned and Thanked in my WA posts, but thought you might like to know I just Thanked you publicly (again) in my latest Tutorial. xxx How to Earn Money from Blogs (before you have significant traffic)

Lynne, perhaps you can assist me. I am confused about having links in my blog posts. I keep reading that you need to have content and gain authority on your site and that Amazon doesn't like you having links in your content and then I see and hear from Affiliates who do that all the time.

I do reviews on Christian books and movies etc. I am including an image of the book with a link behind it or a text link and that is about it. I have created a 'Shop' with info about my recommended books or movies with affiliate links there,

If you could take a look at my site and give me your thoughts, I would greatly appreciate it.

The main thing I am confused about is as I said above...having links in the blogs or not? I want to gain high ranking so I don't want google to blow me off...

Also duplicate content...I don't understand that Site Content tool says my blogs on book reviews have duplicate content but the book I blogged about yesterday is mentioned no where else on my site. I quote the author in several places in the blog with quotation marks. Thoughts?

Sorry for so many questions but you seem like a good person to ask. If you don't have the time I understand.

I appreciate your posts and your efforts here on WA. If others wish to help I am including community help request.

See my profile for my site.

Hi Lynne,
I posted my Progress report today in which I referred to you as one of the women I admire on this platform and aspire to be like in the online business world. Forgive me for not obtaining your consent prior to publication.
Here is the post; At Five Months At Wealthy Affiliate Thanks, and stay blessed

Lynne
I have a website issue which don't seem to be able to solve.
I have 3 posts within ( separately written) which were posted to create the main menu. When I go to the website these are all stuck together under one title. I tried every which way to make one of the post as a widget , but just do not understand what happened there. I have been sitting for hours on this issue to no avail. Can you help? The site is called
...be4ealth.com

Hey there Lynne,

Thanks for your honesty and sharing your story. I love how you've incorporated your passions to create online success.

Family is top priority for me as well. Our 2 daughters are a little older now, but your Kaboutjie website would've been a great resource to us in the early days, as it is now for both expectant and new mothers.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge with the WA community.

Have a truly Fantastical Day!
Joe

Hello Lynne. I hope you don't mind me sending you a PM but I know that you are the Pinterest guru and I have a simple question. How do I pin the Pinterest icon to my website? I was on someone else's blog and when I scrolled the Pinterest pin followed me the whole time. I want something like that so it is easy for my content to be shared to Pinterest.

Hi Lynne, I didn't want to PM you (for spammy reasons :). I have two questions on Pinterest if you don't mind. :)

I've been invited by a few people to pin on their group boards, I've accepted, but now I can't find those boards.

Where do I look for those boards and how do I pin to them?

Thank you
Nick

Thanks for sending me the web link of what I spoke to you earlier. One last comment Lynne, for someone who is only 38 years old, I look at your picture, your eyes which are the mirror of the Soul show you possess wisdom, Spirituality way above your physical age, and I am sure you will share this with...with anybody that you meet, anyone who is open to receive your Wisdom.. It is an Honor for me to have come in contact with you. Thank You Lynne.

Hi Lynne, glad to see you were so Honest to admit to those addictions. If you have any information or website to refer me to about alcohol addiction and how to overcome it. please let me know. Glad to see you are making a full time income online, but at 61 with no online experience and not even being able to create a website my journey in the online world has not been easy. Enough of my sob story, I am very happy for you for your passion and success.

Lynne, you are yet one more person that I have so many things in common with (thinking about your particular niches). It is refreshing to read such honest and open words. Your story inspires me, and I look forward to seeing how you have adapted yourself here at WA. Thank you, again!

Hi Lynne, love your bio. It inspired me to tell you a little further about my background that may be of interest to you. I have three daughters...all very different that are in the same age range as yourself. One of my daughters struggled with alcoholism after she got out of the Air Force. She is now recovering from breast cancer. It has been a wake up call for her and is in recovery and fighting this through. She is very creative and into writing, acting and making crafts.

My mother was a recovering alcoholic and changed her life to the point she was the founder of a center called Mariposa for women struggling with alcoholism about 4o years ago. Since then, the center branched off into providing other family services. It is now called Mariposa Women and Family Center. http://mariposacenter.org located in California. My mother's vision has helped thousands of people and families through the years. It was an honor to be one of the speakers at her memorial service in 2010 after I returned from Iraq that the center held for her. I listen to the testimonies of those lives that were helped from the support counseling of the center,

I am so happy I have found this opportunity with WA. I hope to build something out of it to help free me with some of creative endeavors I would like to accomplish.

Best of success as you continue your journey in life with your family.

Hi Lynne, I love your bio, I'm so glad you got to turn things around for yourself and are living the life you love. I wish you continued success and I know I could certainly learn a lot from you, with your great content. Wishing you the very best Ali

Hi i am happy & proud of u for your onlinre amazon success. U go girl rock it bsby? Can you kindly tell me how you adding content that is targeting Amazon products? Do u add content in articles or blog posts and can u kindly tell me what the difference between the 2 are? Oh hi by the way. I am Rob Vela from old New York City. Charmed to meet you.

i just would like to say after reading your bio that you have given me a new found inspiration. I myself am in recovery im still in the early stages however but to see that someone can turn there life around and actually make a living doing something they enjoy is an inspiration to me. my addiction has taken me to many places i wish i hadent gone i have a record now and it makes it verry difficult to find jobs that pay more than minimum wage if i can even find one of those despite all my qualifications. The more i am on here the more this place just feels right like i found the missing piece of my life i have been searching for all along a new found meaning and purpose for my life. Thank you for sharing your story with us and best reguards.

Hi Lynne. I'm still pretty new at this despite having been a member for a while. You are an inspiration - both your bio and your training. May I ask what may be a really silly question. What is the best way to choose a wordpress theme for a website - what should I look for? Is there a theme that is a good "universal" fit? There are so many I'm lost for choice.

Hi Lynne,
I followed your training on "how to add WA banner to sidebar"
all went fine till I got to inputting the code into the content box inside the widget of wordpress,
I coping the code like you said but when it came to pasting it inside that content box the "paste" tab is disabled

Am I doing something wrong?

thanks

oliver

Hi Lynne -- I think we met on the chat area, and I just left you a comment on your latest blog post -- I think it was a March 18th date? It didn't have any comments and it was a great post, and my comments were the truth... So I applaud you for your recovery and know what it took, as my ex-husband went through that as well.
Anyway, it's great to meet you here!
Amy

Honest and open! Great bio. So nice to meet you Lynne. Thank you for all that you do. You have helped me tremendously. Some days the mountain seems really high and steep but your trainings and your time have helped me. I truly do thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Jill

I like your bio. I am one of you also! Took my last drink & drug on 8/2/11 coming up on 7 years! I love working with others as well and being of service to my fellows. We can't keep what we have unless we give it away! I apply that principal to business and life and it works! It's nice to see that even here at WA we are NOT alone!

Chris

Howdy Lynne, hope you are well.

I am having problems placing my affiliate add links in the positions I want them. When I put them in my blog side bar the got to the top left or in the footer and nowhere in between. I have asked numerous questions on the chat room and have only gotten non relevant replies or links to vids that are not relevant. Been working on this for a while, seems like I am missing something big.

Got any ideas?

Hi Lynne,

I was reading your bio with great interest as we have two things in common:

1 - I lived in South Africa, farming in the Free State, for several years.

2 - I am also an alcoholic, been dry since August 2009, apart from a small relapse a few years later, which convinced me that alcohol is definitely the last thing I want to go back to.

I found that the hardest thing to do for someone who wants to quit drinking is to admit that he/she is an alcoholic. I cured my habit by attending several AA meetings (in Bloemfontein in fact). This was my hardest first step to recovery, I registered many times and never went to the meetings, till that very evening of August 2009, when I told myself that enough was enough, there is nothing to be ashamed of to be an alcoholic, it is a sickness like any other, and there is a cure for it. If I had to miss that very meeting, again, I would be dead long before now, considering the amount of alcohol I was consuming daily. I was permanently drunk, day and night.

I hope my message here will help others, and I must congratulate you Lynne for having taken the first step and for having the courage to quit. Not easy!

My apologies for using your space for such a long comment.

Best wishes from the south of France!

P.S. I have posted a comment on your website and shared it socially.

What are your weather conditions in South Africa today? We just narrowly missed a winter storm here, but still got a fair bit of snow, and still coming down. I see my two horses from my office window, and they are feeling a bit spunky. They love this mild snow, close to zero temps. Roads are closed this morning because we got freezing rain last night and then the snow. It was weird, we had thunder, lightening and snow coming down!

Good morning Lynne, I just noticed the subject of muffins came up in live chat. I have a tip for you...Lynne, I tried my favorite pancake recipe yesterday, by baking them in muffin pans instead. Turned out great! Pancakes in muffin shape, store in fridge and just gently warm them up when you want to eat them. I make gluten free muffins but they are more Paleo than anything, high in protein. We had some for breakfast this morning with a little maple syrup drizzled on top.

Hi Everyone, just to let you know that Lynne is in Hospital recovering from an operation and will be back to serve and assist the community as soon as possible.

Hi Lynne,

Congratulations on your success, that's great news.

Hope you don't mind me asking but I've wanted to start using Fiverr for a while but didn't really know how to get started or what to do. Probably me over complicating it. Do you have any thoughts?

Many thanks
Steven

your site is amazing, i would love some tips on how it's layed out my I have a lot of work to do. I just started my site at the risk of being judged lol, would you mind checking it out at this point and giving me few tips. smokingpipesplus.com

THANK YOU, LYNNE... YOU MADE MY YEAR!!!
Your suggestions continue to make me money!!
From Website Testing to Guest Posts on Fiverr to Contributed Posts ... My First 100 Dollar Day! YOU ROCK!!

Hey LynneHuy, I was unsure whether my website would support a mobile phone and you sent me a great link a few moments ago so thankyou!
I will have been sober/clean for 6 months in two days and it's always inspiring to hear stories such as yours. Thankyou and I wish you all the best. Just followed you.

Congrats one day at a time. Nice to hear you are doing so well online. I have been working at the online process, seriously, for over a year now. I have made some progress but have not made any $$, just yet. A lot of training.
Continued success and congrats to you and the family.

Lynne, I am so impressed by the work that you have done on your websites and in your personal life! I joined in January of this year, got my website up and running by April, but had to devote my late spring and summer months finishing up my last year as owner and operator of my Pet Hotel. I finally 'retired' after 23 years of working with dogs, cats and their owners. I now have lots of time to spend here and working on my website. I will use your story as inspiration for myself to keep going!

Hello Lynne!

I'm pleased to meet you. So happy to hear that you've found the path to a healthy and happy life. You are amazingly strong and I admire your determination. I'm following you now!!

Wish you the very best in life. Keep going with your awsome success in private and in business!

:-) Pernilla

hi Lynne, thank you for your honest share. It's lovely meeting you and following your journey here.
I'm living in Aus now, but hail from Africa myself - Rhodies -> SA -> Ireland -> Oz. Where in SA are you?
I wish you every success in everything.
All the best
Gary

Hi Lynne and all who are reading now and into the future...
It is my wish to see and hear that one day, soon enough, most of us who are here at WA are addicted to not only finding Success but living it. :)

It is inspring to see peeps like you who is able to conquer the inner mountain.
Carpe Diem
Steve

Very nice. People like you encourage me to continue and never doubt. I am very touched by your description here and I always want to visit south Africa, maybe one day i'll go visit when I start making money online. Well I wish you the best . Keep up the good work.

Nice!!
I'm a recovering addict of five years, thought I haven't even touched on that subject yet. My first website is all about Crohn's disease and eating healthy. I know the addiction issue will be a part of that at some point.
Anyway, great job staying sober!! You're an inspiration for a lot of people out there!
I also love the fact that you're making a living full-time online, I knew it was possible!!! I'm also an avid reader and enjoy writing.
Best Wishes!!
Sean

Hi Lynne, really enjoyed the youtube video I found as soon as I spelled your name correctly.

I am an overweight Banter and if you get a comment on a pimple, who knows what will come my way, but I am determined to do Youtube. My first video try of a Banting recipe was fantastic, just filmed in portrait not landscape hehehe.

BTW the decaff coffee thing was probably due to the chemicals they use to create normal decaf coffee. you have to look for Swiss water method decaf?? I don't drink coffee or tea.

Very blown away, how on earth do you manage 100 000 subscribers on one website and still have time for everything else.
Good luck skattie

I just looked at your addict website and I left this comment:

WOW!!! WOW!!! WOW!!! I’m actually speechless which is a rare thing for me. I can’t say anymore at this time. I can’t see the screen for the tears. Yes, Men do cry and I’m not ashamed. It’s a way to wash away the sorrow I have for you.You are so,F**kING, brave. I’m so proud of you as my new, best, friend.

Later, LMW

P.S. Had to clean it up. I was rejected earlier.

I'm getting pretty put-out with trying to upgrade my site. I need some help with the home-page with pick, etc.

I changed themes also. I want to replace the pic that came with it.

How simple is it to change. and (I have my menu like I want it but,)
the content is not arranged with the menu. ??

Lynne, Happy to meet you, again. This is my second time around. I came back primarily because of you and the many words I've read from you. I remember you from the first time and I know you are a brilliant lady, so I will be following you and asking questions. If you have time, please respond.

First I would like to applaud you on your 8 years of recovery. I work in the mental health field with veterans and I see addiction on a daily basis.

This is my first go around with WA and I am also trying to make this my full time job, so I cam stay home with my 17 month old little boy.

I am just weary on how the making money part works. Can you give me some insight on this part? Please and thank you.

Hi, Lynne. I just watched your training video on add images in WP and heard from your accent that u are from South Africa and see it is confirmed when I read your bio. It is fantastic that u have been in recovery for so long. I am from Port Elizabeth but am living in the USA for now. All my family is still in South Africa. Anyway just wanted to say thank you and if u don't mind I would like to follow u, being a fellow South African.
I wish u great success in all that u do and good luck. :)

carl

Honest, heartfelt and AWESOME!

One day at a time is the only way to go, adversity sometimes reveals who we really are inside and each of us has the capacity for greatness.

Congratulations on your triumphs and kudos for being honest enough to be a shining beacon of hope to others who may not have found their true path yet.

Have an amazing journey :D

How are you and your family doing? I am also an alcoholic and compulsive gambler. Wonder why I've never been married or had a single girlfriend or dating partner in my whole life. Ah, hell, Lynne, what difference does it make now? My severe kidney disease will insure a very quick and painless death.

Hi Lynne, just loved your profile i thought this is the person to speak hope you wont get tired of my questions :) tell me in South Africa does the WA work?Im new here im still going thru the videos and then upgrade when i have the clue of what im doing:)
