Hi there. Where can one find free themes for websites?

All free themes are found in the same place (as highlighted by TheAbiePlus (Abi) however, the "best" depends on what you mean by "best".

So here's an assumption: by "best" perhaps you mean fastest loading, mobile friendly and flexible (i.e., provides a lot of options in a free version).

If you do a google search you'll probably find Astra, Blocksy, Generate Press and Kadence among them.

I use Kadence Theme so I'm probably biased.

Hi. I'm getting information from affiliate programs to fill in some tax form. I've been doing that over and over again but they keep saying "Invalid W8 electronic tax document,

in Part 1, there's the SSN or ITIN. Can you clarify what that is?

Social Security Number (SSN)
U.S. citizens, permanent residents (Green Card holders), and temporary (working) residents are eligible for an SSN.

Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN)
ITINs are issued regardless of immigration status because both resident and nonresident aliens may have a U.S. filing or reporting requirement under the Internal Revenue Code. ITINs are issued to individuals who are required to have a taxpayer identification number but do not have and are not eligible to obtain an SSN.

The key distinction lies in eligibility, where SSNs are primarily for U.S. citizens and certain non-citizens, while ITINs are for those who cannot obtain an SSN but still have tax reporting or filing needs.

Hi - Social Security Number or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number.

Whatever number you find on any correspondence from your particular country's tax office.

I really would advise seeking a professional advisor here, as each person's situation is different.

You have FANTASTIC responses; I hope you get it sorted soon :)

Did u use ur tax number from ur country or did u have to get n ITIN?

Do I need this ITIN? If so, How do I apply?

I have always used my UK social security number, and it has been accepted.

It is not applicable; however, this link may help.

(foreign individuals and businesses)
https://www.investopedia.com/terms/w/w8form.asp

I also advise reaching out to a professional advisor.

Hi - I am in the UK, not South Africa, but do you see an option for a W-8BEN form, instead?

This is for non-US taxpayers.

Yes, there is that option. I do fill it, but it always comes back saying invalid.

You need to complete parts 1 and 3, and then sign it.

Did you complete all the boxes, including name, address, date of birth, and foreign tax identifying number?

It's possible that the affiliate program has geographic restrictions and does not allow your country.

I'm getting notices from Affiliate Networks to fill in W8 or W9 forms. I'm from South Africa so I'm not familiar with these things. Please advise.

I suggest you contact a professional advisor; each person's circumstances differ.

https://www.investopedia.com/terms/w/w8form.asp

The W-8 series forms are used by foreign individuals and entities to certify their foreign status and claim any application treaty benefits, it is also called W-8 BEN.
while W9 form is used by US citizens to provide their taxpayer (TIN) to entities that will pay them income during the tax year.
* Correct me If I am wrong.

As you are not from or in the USA you would instead need to fill out a W-8BEN form. I would advise contacting the networks to see if they can issue them.

Here's a resource explaining it. https://www.deel.com/blog/tax-forms-for-contractors

W8 is a international ID form, and can be a requirement for many networks.

I have printed them out and sent back photos/scanned and sent back.

Easy.:)

how to check where my website is ranking in Google?

You may check out Site Rank in Jaaxy.

You may input your keyword and domain name.

First, your posts get indexed, and often days later, down the line, start getting noticed, provided targeted keywords are searchable, and new websites can rank efficiently.

But typically, "authority" for a website starts to get established over time, usually at the 3-6 month mark.

They fluctuate up and down the scale till Google decides where to place them.

Not all posts will get ranked; thus, the recommendation is to keep updating blogs 2 - 3 posts a week, which is for the foreseeable future.

Social Engagement & Marketing

How can use the current AI infrastructure to create content so viral that it would increase traffic to my website?

You can use ChatGPT for brainstorming and outlining but use it as a tool, not copy and paste.

Also, you must cross-reference your findings for factual content because ChatGPT does get it wrong.


However, to get your content compelling and viral, you'd need to dig in and make it as engaging as possible, answering your visitor's questions and always adding impeccable added value content.


You can research other people's work. However, you write your take original in your own words.

Creating viral content requires a strategic approach beyond AI. Understand your audience, craft engaging headlines, add value, use visuals, and optimize for SEO.

While Google frowns upon low-quality (AI-generated) content, combining AI insights with human creativity can help create valuable and shareable content.

Israel

You can use AI to give you ideas such as titles, sub headers etc but don't use it to create content for you.

Create your own unique content that is aimed to help find a solution to what people are asking for relating to your niche. Help them find an answer and that will bring you the traffic.
