Hi, it's great to meet you, my name is Marion and I live in Adelaide Australia.
You'll find my websites and other links listed at the bottom of the right-hand column under "Follow me on..." but you'll have to be already following me at Wealthy Affiliate to see them.
Everyone should have a "main hustle" and a "side hustle". My main hustle is affiliate marketing. My side hustle is creating video courses. "The Plan" is to make my side hustle my main hustle.
If you don't like your "main hustle" then develop your "side hustle" to the point where it can become your "main hustle" and ditch your job.
I love my main hustle but I love my side hustle more.
I'm an entrepreneur. I launched my first "real" business - with paid advertising in the local newspaper - over 50 years ago when I was a teenager. I've always embodied that entrepreneurial spirit. I've had lots of startups since then. Some successful, some not quite. But I'll never give up. They've all been part of the learning experience.
I've been messing around with computers for more than 30 years. I started programming on a Commodore 64 (hands up if you remember them). Then I switched to PCs.
Using a dial-up internet connection I created my first website using HTML in 2002 to promote my software programs. The website is still in existence but it's not mobile-friendly and I just keep it for nostalgic reasons. I don't write programs/apps anymore.
These days I get a buzz from helping my WA friends. I have created lots of tutorials and videos to answer questions so please check out my training section. Click the blue 'View MarionBlack's Training' button on the bottom-right of this page. Or go to https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/training/training-by-marion-black-sorted for the cataloged version.
If YOU need any extra help just leave a message in the comments section below. I'm always happy to respond. If I don't know the answer to your question then I'll point you in the right direction.

Hi Marion,
Thanks for the follow and your well presented training tutorials.
When it comes to computers, I am as greener than the color green.
And so, it takes some time for me to understand computer stuff.
I will continue to follow you to make progress.
Also, for a new website, why do I have over 200 users including admin with strange emails?

Hi Marion,
You have solved a major major problem for me. I knew something was wrong and I didn't know quite how to fix it.
Thank you so much. All this time I have been saving these strange emails to look at later. What a relief!
This feeling of helplessness with the computer ends today. I am going to do more and more training until I could help others too.
Have a great weekend!

Thanks for the "follow", Marion. You "about" page is very interesting reading. Commodore 64? Yeah, wish I still had mine.
I had a lot of fun with that machine and with dial-up bulletin boards (BBS's). The first time I had a two way message session with a friend on the other coast from me ... without any long distance charges, I thought the modern era of computing had really arrived!
Hope you time on WA is very successful. Be well.

Hello once again, Marion... I have copied the :get link" code in Amazon Associates of the item I want in my website for Lesson 5 with Wealthy Affiliate. Next, the instructions say to paste the code to my website. When I paste, it puts the code in text description instead of pasting it as the Amazon ad, What am I missing?

You have 2 tabs when you're writing a post: Visual and Text. Code goes into the Text tab.
When you upgrade to Gutenberg you'll be able to add Custom HTML blocks instead of going back and forth between the tabs. It's going to be so much easier.
If you haven't tried the new editor (Gutenberg) yet, I encourage you to give it a go on a test website. I'm using it on a live website now.
Check out my training as I've made a lot of videos on Gutenberg. https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/marionblack/training

Hi Marion. I too used to be in IT and remember when the computer filled an entire room and you had to depend on an operator to test your programs then eventually you got your own monitor then finally your desktop.
I am trying my hand at this new venture and judging from your marketing experience I will take you up on your invitation to interact with you from time to time.

Hi Marion! part of your story sounds a bit like mine. I learned to program using HTML at Keiser College back on 1999. Only took one and a half semesters though. However, learned enough to create my first affiliate website. It was up and running for about a year but now it is gone. Since then I abandoned affiliate marketing and programming and focused on working at different banks over the years. I will be refer to your training videos often as they are very well made and informative. My only question at this time is I noticed WordPress does not have a theme for a new website I would like to start. It's a mix of an educational site where I'll be posting information about money and finance in general and affiliate marketing of gold/precious metals companies. It's a niche idea I have to develop but can't see an appropriate WordPress theme to use. Is it possible to import an outside theme to WordPress?

There are thousands of free themes available as well as lots of premium themes. If you buy a premium theme you can add it to your website. Whatever theme you choose it must have been designed for WordPress websites. Choose a New Theme Install Premium Theme

Hi Marion,
Thanks for letting me know.
I had already created the static web pages and opted against using the featured picture. When I used it in the past I ended up with duplicate pictures on the post - the heading and in the article. (I didn't know it was supposed to be that way). I suspected that is where the problem was and it was confirmed by yours and one other response that I need to use the featured image. I just did that and all is well now.
Thanks.

Marion, I have watched your video twice and tried to re-do mine. Made the changes; clicked on the button to activate the changes, but nothing changed. Also, some few days ago I did something wrong and now have my post titles listed at the top of the page, with my header. I do not want them there but do not know how to remove them. Not sure what I am doing wrong, but something is not working. Help!

I am so confused. I accidentally got rid of the posts at the top of the page through "customize." However, I have tried several times to change the order of my posts. They show as changed on the "menus" page, but when I update and look at my site, they have not changed. Now what am I doing wrong?

Howdy-DO, Marion!
It's nice to meet you! I saw you on a page where I was trying to ask a question 'bout a little red star that turned out to be a little red CIRCLE. I have a second window, still open to that page, but I wanted to check out your Profile Page. An' I'm glad I did. You seem like a fun person. 'Specially, when I'm adding "Screen Shotes*. Haha
I think Australia is my little girl's favorite place in the whole wide world. She spent about a year an' a half in Melbourne, several years back.
My hand is raised an' I think I just might be able to do you one better with computers. Not only do I remember working on a Commodore, but I actually did key-punch operating for my dad, in the 1950's, while he worked on a compute that took up an entire BUILDING that was about the size of Walmart. 'Course, that was a day or two ago, but I sure enjoyed being a part of computer history an' watching summa' those first programs being written. The computer world was a whole universe of its OWN, back then. I sure wouldn't wanna' go BACK to those days.
I also worked at a company, a few years later, where five of us would sit INSIDE One section of a computer an' work to get things tied up, nice an' tidy. Yup! That was definitely a Long. Time. Ago.
It's really nice to meet you! I look forward to getting to know you an' seeing you around the WA boards. Good luck in all your endeavors. I don't hafta' wonder if you will succeed; I can a'ready see that THAT was never a question.

Nope! Nope! Nope! Those little red curls might confuse you, but I'm sure you are a lot younger than I am. By the way, I am 7. Yes, you read that correctly. I am 7.
You see... I decided a long time ago that I never wanna' reach the ripe old age of 8 because that is, in MY mind anyway, the age of accountability. An' THAT is when people start EXPECTING things of you. Things like acting responsible. 'Course, when folks begin to think you are a responsible person, they begin to ask you to do things; RESPONSIBLE things. So, I don't even wanna' worry 'bout getting to 8.
Naturally, I had to devise a plan that would help me stay younger than 8 an' this is what I came up with; if you do the math enough different ways, who's to know, right?
So... I add, subtract, multiply an' divide, until I arrive at a number I like. An' THAT's when I decide how old I am. An' it's ALWAYS younger than 8. See? Good plan, eh?
{{{{{Psssttt!!! Now that I told you my REAL age, I'll tell you sump'n ELSE... if you promise to keep it on the 'QT', okay? Okay, here's my other secret: I graduated from high school in 1966, but I also was held back a couple of years, due to... you know... my report card only knew two letters, mostly; the letters 'D' and 'F'. Dumb Report Cards!!!}}}}}
I went to 49 schools an' I ran into the same Dumb. Report. Cards. at Every. Single. School. Dumb! Dumb! Dumb! Report Cards!
But I am a nice person (usually), so I forgave those report cards for being unkind. After all, I began to understand their plight, ya' know? I mean... consider it. Would YOU wanna' live you ENTIRE Existence in SCHOOL?
Yuh! No! Me, neither.
Jus' sayin'...

I turned 7 over a year ago but I've got almost 9 years before I turn 8. If I decide to turn 8 that is.

Oh, Cool. So... we are the same age, pro'lly. But why would you hafta' wait 9 years to change? I change every year. It's just that some years, my age goes up an' some years, it goes down. Like, next year, I have decided to be 5, for instance. It all depends on my mood an' which ice cream happens to be available... or, sump'n like that, anyway. LOL

Copy the link from the browser's address bar after the post has been published. Then check that the link works in an incognito window to make sure it's accessible for people who are not logged in.

I’ve been in the program for 1 month. I’m a premium member about to go into my second month. I’m confused and frustrated.
The confusion, as I see it, stems abound trying to follow the steps outlined in WA and trying to coordinate these steps with WP.
In questioning others most say they do their site construction strictly in WP and not WA.
I get that same indication from your most gratifying help. You’ve been doing this before there was a WA – or so I hear.
Could you, would you or can you in very regimented but simple steps walk me through the process from choosing a theme to completion of a site. I do have a theme and a domain and have completed the first series in boot-camp. All this but I still don’t know what I’m doing and keep repeating the past steps waiting for that Eureka moment where this all makes sense. So far it has not occurred!

Hi Marrion, it is so good to meet you, I will have to look up Adelaide Australia. My son and I both have always wanted to go to Austraila. I have been fumbling around with WordPress all day. I'm feeling a bit frustrated at the moment. I just sent for WordPress for Dummies and will take a fresh start at it in the Morning. What type of videos do you make? I'm going to check out your videos now. English is my third language and writing is starting to reflect it, and not for the good. I will be writing more to you in the morning. I really look forward to getting to know you better.

Hi Marion, I saw a post that if I want to find out how to move my website from WA to another hosting to private msg you so here I am. I need to move my website to Namecheap. I am not active here. Busy taking exams now and I don't want to pay for something I am not planing to use. However I want to keep my website for now. Would you be able to tell me how to move it over to Namecheap.
Thank you, Marion!

Marion, I have recently deleted the amazon ads I had on my website I used AD inserter to install the code initially and it seemed to go well, the amazon ads were installed.I started having a problem and I'm not sure what caused it. The problem was that when I visited my website a couple of my post would only scroll a short ways, it would not scroll down the whole page. Well, I decided to delete the amazon ads and I used Ad inserter to do so. It worked. the amazon ads were gone.I lost some parts of my post after that, so I decided to do a restore using WP Clone. After that I got a error 204 on my website. I found out that it has to do with a link. I'm stuck and not sure what to do. I would appreciate any suggestions you might have.
Sincerely
David Webster

It sounds like there are a few things going on here David.
For troubleshooting, my first step would be to deactivate ALL plugins (even the ones you think you can't live without) and check if that fixes the problem. If it turns out to be a plugin or a combination of plugins you can activate them one at a time, checking as you go, to determine which plugin(s) cause the problems.
If that doesn't work then contact Site Support.

Hello Marion, How are you today? Congratulations to you on your success. I am one of the new guys and I am going through the training and taking a look around. I just wanted to take time to both compliment and thank you for the training. I found it to be wonderful! So much so that after I send this quick message I am going back for more.:) Thanks again and have a great day! - Robert

Dear Marion,
I’ve enjoyed your trainings on other topics, and started following you months ago, but for some reason your training didn’t click when it came to jump links and targets. After many delays and searching other sites to explain this topic, I came back to your instructions (the first I ever read).
I was intimidated by code and even found a plugin that didn’t work very well with my theme, but your encouragement of “It’s just code,” made me persist in trying to understand links and targets. Now I have a list of studies (my links) at http://mytophotherbs.com/many-studies-have-been-done-on-the-health-benefits-of-curcumin-and-turmeric#brain that link to the actual studies (my targets).
Thanks for the encouragement and your easy to follow steps for those who focus and pay attention.
My only question now is the links on my website take the reader a little below the target, not exactly on the subtitle line. Can you help me with this issue? I’ve tried putting a space between the target code and the subtitle, but the links still land the reader a little below the subtitle. StunningBell appears to have had the same difficulty, but figured it out. I can check with him them if you don’t know the answer.
Look forward to your response. I’ll be working on my FAQ page next.
Thanks so much. I liked your training.

I've been searching for training on how to fix my site xml errors. I've got a "site appears to be an HTML page, pls use a sitemap format instead". Of course, I have no clue what it means, so here I am again. I couldn't find your training on it.
I only have one plugin now - with Yoast. I managed to clean up and delete two others - (instructions from Yoast). Now I want to submit my xml sites and am stuck on this very first one. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Marion.

Hi Marion,
I'm following your video "applying for Adense and where to paste the code"
all going ok till I got to "add plugin - insert headers and footers"
the WPbeginner header and footer plugin appeared but the Install button was disabled
I then clicked on "more details" and it said "latest version installed"
I then go back to WP dashboard and click settings and the "insert footers and headers -settings page appears
in the box under "scripts in header" there is another google code in there [think it could be google console]
my question is can I use another headers and footers plugin besides the WPbeginners one?

Use the plugin you've already got. You can just add the new script under the code that's already there.

The color of the padlock depends on which browser you're using. Chrome and Firefox show a green padlock, and Microsoft Edge shows a white padlock with a black outline. It's the padlock symbol that's important, not so much the color.

Hi Marion. I watched your video entitled: Custom CSS: Change Font Size Site-Wide. I followed the steps, and it worked. But the problem I am having now is that that not all the words in the different paragraphs are the same, especially those for the unordered lists. I would like to adjust this quick so my site doesn't look 'untidy', if that is the right word to use.
My website url is: https://myunitedfootball.com/
Here is an example of what Iam talking about:

You must have missed this line at the bottom:
"For unordered lists (bullets) and ordered lists (numbered) you have to add a couple more items, replacing 'p' with 'ul' and 'ol'."
For the bulleted list, you would use
ul {font-size: 18px;}
And for numbered list,
ol {font-size: 18px;}
You can change the px size to whatever you like.

More specifically, my post within the SWAG training is firstly about Domain registration and the video of domain transferability was very applicable.
SO i wanted to ask you first if we can add the video or how do we go about it, so it appears as a video in an article? with the affiliate link also?

Hi Sidney,
When valid CSS doesn't work I add '!important' (exclamation mark important) just before the ';' (semi-colon). The other thing you could try is contacting your theme's support forum through wordpress.org.

My main hustle is my job which I've been trying to leave since I started a year ago and I'm building several side hustles online so I can be free to roam around the country.

Hi Marion ; I have a couple of questions, I hope it is not too much. First I kind of have an answer to my problem page quandry. My about me page has supposedly been fixed by site support. they say I can go ahead and redo my about me page but I am thinking about delete and start over.
While going through your wonderful list of training, I discovered a term I had not seen (heard ) before, Justify. And discovered that my about me page was displaying THAT error. How is this avoided? Also do you still recommend WP CLONE vs CHILD? And that does mean that Clone is to be set off site from WA ? And finally That off site would be a (Free ) website from WORDPRESS that does not need a host?

A child theme is a theme that's based on another theme. It's not a backup of your website. You use a child theme if you want to edit the code so that the edits don't get overwritten next time the theme is updated.
WA makes daily incremental backups of your website which, by their very nature, overwrite the previous backups. If you make a mistake and break your website then you would have to have support fix it before their next backup or they are going to have the backup of your website with the mistake in it.
If you needed to have your website restored to what it was like yesterday or last week then you would need to have your own backup.
WP Clone creates zip files which are backups of your website. You save those backups on your computer in case you need to revert your website to what it looked like yesterday or last week.

I got rid rid of the premium theme and went with the free theme called "little jump." Since I am basically starting over I wanted to get an idea of what to start out with on this episode. Thank you for your input , most helpful. Well, like I said I think , I did not make my about me page look like what you indicated would cause that sentence blanking problem. You know blocked structure.
Of course the paragraph structure lined up to the left, but the right side was ended so that the line would not exceed 90 characters. So, there might be 3 characters before the 90 or there might be 8 characters before the end depending how many characters were in the next word. So , I don't know why I was getting the problems that you displayed from what you called justifying. That is why I asked if you knew how to avoid that situation ? So, do you know? Scott

WordPress took away the option to make text justified (easily) a few updates ago. The only way to get justified text is to install a plugin or a theme that has that option. So I find it difficult to tell you how to avoid a problem that shouldn't have arisen in the first place. I just don't know why your page was justified.
Justified text and serif fonts work for paper and ink publications but they are hard to read on the screen.
To fix the problem you'll want to click on each paragraph (anywhere in the paragraph will do) and then click on the left-alignment icon.

thank you Marion, I trashed that About Scott Page, Do you think I can retrieve it and Use this corrective measure . As a matter of fact T might just do that. But, also I have been seeing this evening Fri-Sat ,12-13, That there are others having issues with site content. I wonder if it the same justifying issue. I find it strange that I incurred this problem even though I didn't justify my content. I will let you know the out come and thank you for pointing me in a direction. stawhu Scott

Hello Marion and Happy belated New year! Marion I surely need your professional assistance. For over a week I haven't received the usual emails from WA...and I certainly received quite a bit every day! I've requested help from support but I've received no response. I don't know what may have caused this halt in email messages being received but I need this problem resolved as soon as possible. Your usual assistance is so very much appreciated.

Hello, Marion, oddly enough only WA's email I'm not receiving as all other senders' emails I receive every day which leads me to believe that the problem is not on my end.
I'm so sorry to bring this up again, but I'm really becoming frustrated as Site Support has not responded after at least two notifications of my problem, which is headed into the third week now. Regrettably, if I can't get some assistance I will have to unsubscribe from WA, because I expected to get more support than what I received. I am receptive to any other suggestions you may have.

Thanks for following me Marion. I loved your bio! It reminds me of a song from the 70's - 80's, "Do The Hustle!" (remember disco?), although you're probably not that old.
It is good to be here at WA and I'm going through the lessons diligently, just optimized my SEO (now that I know what that is). I can't wait to start the next part, adding content! I just know that is where the magic is going to happen. I believe that is what will bring the traffic if it's solid content and presented well (please correct me if I'm wrong, I am a newbie). Look forward to more interaction here at WA. A pleasure to meet you, gooday!

Hi Marion, Thank you for adding me to your network, I'm doing like wise!
Oh yes, dear old Commodore 64's! ;-) A friend of ours were subscribed to some magazine which printed the code for some new games.... and then we would spend the whole afternoon typing in the code... and sometimes the game will work and sometimes there's an error either in the print or in the typing and then it doesn't work...
And dial-up...Wow, how life has advanced...
I'm looking forward to watching more of your training courses Marion. ;-)

Hello Marion: I am having edit problems on my about Scott post for the affiliate bootcamp. My about is ended up not fitting into the template and I did not realize what was happening at the the time. But evidently by typing through the next sections and pushing the forward with the space bar I had done something to cause the final out come that has the content skewed. paragraph not being paragraphs but showing up at the end of the preceeding para graph if there is room. The first paragraphs will not take my indent it keeps reverting to block. some of my edits revise some don't My first draft was two wide for the page , my page is a two column with a side menu in the third . My recent revision I counted characters for two columns line up all the paragraphs for my indent , I used 5 space, changed some words , some took some didn't, hit preview and while the page looked a little better it did not reflect how it was supposed to look according to either live revision or after published revision. Can this be dealt with or should I swap out my current premium theme with another? Then delete that theme then start over anew with my premium theme? I have difficulty with my left arm and therefore cannot type ,but by hunt and peck, so I am trying to find the best way to do this because the just typing the first draft prior to publishing took 4hrs. I don' mind starting over if that's what it will take to get this post to look right. Sorry the question is so long but I want to give you as much info as possible. Thank you Scott

they referred me to the wordpress codex, which is written in chinese. or they will set up the the theme, which I am actually getting done, for $99.00 . my problem as I see it relates to the template and the adjustment made in the horizontal line print , 110 space characters in width of the template to the transfer to the theme space ,two column , 90 characters , and the push forward space bar to allow for more room on the vertical content area of the current title are before it crowds out the next title area. no, its not really chinese it just reads like that to someone who has no experience with any of this . Littlte joke. I guess I' check with Kyle. they designed the template thank you Scott

Hi Marion, Thanks for the follow and will follow back. I'm also from "the land of flooding rains" now living in Townsville. Like you I have been around computers for too long, started programming in FORTRAN at the University of Toronto in the early 70's. Those were the days when you wrote your program and then punched it out on cards which which you then fed into the mainframe computer. I look forward to catching up with you sometime.

I signed up for an organizer, but I'm not all that comfy with it..maybe I'll have another look at it

Hi Marion, just wondered if you might be able to help me with applying an Amazon link to my post. I tried using the same procedure as I do with my other affiliate companies, but it wouldn't paste onto my chosen phrase. I may be doing something wrong or missing a step but I was led to believe it was a simple process! I can't find any training. I can't watch videos at the moment (cleared cache and all that but still not working) so if you have any tips that would be great! Sue

I do remember the commodore 64. In fact I started on the Apple II
and was a successful programmer for over 30 years. That made it extremely frustrating for me to get my head around this internet marketing thing. Thanks to Wealthy Affiliate, You and others I'm gonna make it afterall
It does something to a person who knows that deep inside him or her the ability exists and a little help could make all the difference.
So thanks again and if there is anything that I can do to support your video training efforts, please let me know

Hi Marion, good to meet you. I loved reading your profile and finding out how you are growing yourself!
May I ask you a question? It talks about backing up your WordPress site. When I looked there were many ways to do this but I do not know much about these things. I would like something that is automatic. How do you choose the best way? I would like to have advice on this. I have come along way on this my first day of real work on Wealthy Affiliate, but not as far as I wanted. There is still much I do not understand.
Thank you for any input and everyone else too. I am grateful!

I actually took some computer science classes back 30 some odd years ago. I remember learning about DOS and Lotus 123. (Wow! Now I really feel old) I never lost interest but family comes first, I just didn't have enough time to do both. Now the kids are all on their own, so here I am again, starting from scratch. I believe this is the place to grow. So I'm giving it all I've got to get there by the time I retire. I'll get there.

I always follow people for a while before I actually follow them. This way I can confirm the relationship can be beneficial to both parties. Or if I like a new members profile and can sense they are here for the long haul and I can help them, then I will follow them too. I believe since we have control of the follow button that we should use it as a tool more than a courtesy, just my opinion.
Anyways, I love your answers to members, your videos are great and I could only hope to have the knowledge and strengths you demonstrate within the WA. If there's in anyway I might be of service to you, please hail at any time. I have a background in Social Media Management and being a very established bartender I have learned to analyze personality traits and desires of people in about 60 seconds of interaction. #HA@WA

Thanks for the follow Marion! I like what you said about the hustle. My plan is to have 3, main hustle affiliate marketing, side hustle something related to my passion (still nailing it down to a niche) and finally I want to help small businesses locally with their marketing at a reasonable price they can afford maybe even volunteer some of my time to do it for them.

Thanks Marion, for following and offering your help and advice. Writing this it crosses my mind, that quite a few people have come up with suggestions but it's hard to keep track where the things came from I wanted to follow up..
Is there a way to store things, like your tutorial and video page in a private folder so I can come back to that in my own time?

Hi Marion, thank you for the follow, following you back. I'm taking a leaf from your book: "If you don't like your "main hustle" then develop your "side hustle" to the point where it can become your "main hustle" and ditch your job". I really like that that advice and that's what I'm working towards. It's an honour having an Ambassador in my network :-). I'll definitely be checking out your training section.
Cheers, Ken.

Hi Marion,
Thanks for following me! Nice to meet you here!
I loved your bio-sketch, or profile as we call here in WA. It is light but captivating! I see that you are loaded with tons of experience both in offline business and online.
I was off WA for few months, but recently reactivated my membership. This time I am more focused and have better clarity with regards to what I want and what I can achieve by being an online entrepreneur. Just working on some big plans at the moment. I sure will check out your training and blogs as soon as one of my hands are free!
Maybe one day, I'll interview you! Lol :-)

Hi Marion, seemed to have lost contact after your most welcome assistance.
I went, as you suggested, to technical. They have moved all four of my sites, now safely in WA.
I have also directed the 'nameservers' to WA. so they are now active here.
I am trying to work out the sequence of transferring the domain names.
I know, I can take my time with these, so can you advise the sequence and how and when I pay the one year for the domain/s.
I have watched the video, and it appears that this takes when one presses the new site button.
Does the domain transfer need to be completed before the I complete the above, and pay a year in advance, though all my site are active until next year.
Thank you again for your assistance,
Tom.

Stay away from the "new site" button. You won't want to delete your website by overwriting it with a new WordPress install.
Once your websites are hosted at WA there's no rush to transfer the registration of the domain name. When I was doing that for my sites I waited until about 4-6 weeks before each renewal was due and transferred the domain names then. Make sure you keep the registration details including email addresses up to date and you'll be fine.

Thank you Marion, and thank you, as the allayer of the concern I was having with this button.
You have made it clear that there is no rush to re-register the domains, only to do so near the renewal date.
The sites themselves are fully functional, so I can continue to develop them.
Can I presume, when I transfer, I unlock domain, get code, I then introduce the code to WA., as the correct procedure.

I'm not sure where your domain names are registered but the procedure is similar for all registrars Transfer Domain Name from GoDaddy to Wealthy Affiliate SiteDomains The nameservers will stay exactly the same as they are now, you don't need to change anything there. Changing domain name registrars does not affect the nameservers.

Marion,
I have a web domain that is stagnant and I might want to use it to rebuild. It is hosted. The index page is not relevant to my affiliate marketing idea however I could use a different landing page on the site.
Should my URL (WordPress URI) be only keywords that will generate traffic?
Thank you,

Hi Marion,
I just followed your training on drop-down menus. It worked well until I went in to try to delete my categories down the side of my page. I tried deleting one and it removed the article completely from my website!!! I hadn't saved it anywhere so I have lost it. Obviously I don't want categories to show now as I have all the posts and pages up in my new drop-down menu. Can you tell me how I can get rid of my categories? Also the spot where the particular category was now says "Uncategorised".
Thank you.

Ouch! Don't delete the categories, just delete the category widget. Go to Appearance > Widgets and you'll see the Category widget in the sidebar. Click on the tiny triangle to open it and you'll find Delete at the bottom left.
Check to see if your post is still there. Go to Posts > All Posts and see if you can find it. Check the Trash can too because it may be in there.

Hi Marion, I am back in the WA family after being gone for 5 months. I reached out a couple of times, but got side tracked with another business, which was making my income to pay my bills, in addition I became very ill, which is what made me leave for a while. I would like to reach out to you in the next week or so, and see if we can chat for a bit. I would like to get some advise from you, and see what has been your success to where you are currently. I know everyone is different, but I want to get an idea of what you did when you started out to make it start working.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Marion, your profile is great. The only reason I haven't looked at before is that I'm still trying to work my way around the WA site. I am totally new to the whole concept of websites. It took me ages to be do something as simple as put a link on a FB page...... I get a bit frustrated with myself for not being able to pick up things as quickly as I would like and feel is sort of "2 steps forward, 1 step back" at the moment.
My aim was just to become an affiliate marketer, and I had no idea I would be setting up my niche so quickly so I had to think of something that I love on the hop.
I'm in Adelaide too. What suburb are you in? I'm in Plympton.
I have clicked to follow you and will be looking at your training too, in between completing the WA training. I have not worked in the corporate world for 4 weeks now but I will be starting a new contract next Tuesday 15 Aug which will unfortunately restrict my learning time.
Here is my website (I've just added "Continue Reading" from your video to one of my posts. If you have any suggestions or ideas I would greatly appreciate your feedback.

WA is very much a spam and promotions free zone. You can put links to your social media and websites on your profile page at the bottom right under "Follow Me On". Otherwise only add links to your website when it's unavoidable such as when you're asking or answering a question and linking to the site is the only way to explain things.
Most of the time a screenshot will be better Screenshots on the Fly

Dear Marion,
I have a question that is way out of my depth. You will know the answer. I am still waiting for the magical traffic to pour in but I won't hold my breath.
In June, I had one great gush of subscribers and thought that might be the beginning of something.
How by the next week that had all dried up.
What did I do over those 3-4 days that drove in all this visitors? I tried to look back on those few days and what I had put out the. Is there a way to find out what post made them come to my site. I would do it again.
What do you think, gurulady?

Hello, Marion! Your knowledge of creation of website is definitely needed in my case. I'm not the most computer savvy user around and am having a little difficulty with the word "Domain" for my website which I'm about to create as we speak. What, in fact, is :domain" and how should I apply it to my website?
If In were to use mywealthbuilding.com is this an example of domain usage, would tis be accurate?
Your good advice is much appreciated.

Yes, your example is a domain name. But I recommend that you look for a domain name that hasn't already been registered so you can get it for $13.99 instead of $2,395.00.

Best to do them one at a time. Use the link above to backup your website using WP Clone then contact Site Support and ask them to help you move the website.
After you've got all that sorted then transfer the domain name. Your domain name doesn't need to be transferred until it's getting near renewal time.

Hi Marion, I am not new to computers, but have struggled extensively to learn how to use them. I am much better at written languages. Even with the instructions I've seen on some of the videos, I have racked my brain to try and understand what the instruction is to build and create and blog and post and so on And so on....I learn better by being instructed while I follow along and do the work with someone. Unfortunately, my computer has been Down and the only thing I have is my IPad on which I can only work one screen at a time. So I have to watch, stop the video and then try the action on another screen then come back and replay over and over until I get it.

You Rock! I remember dial up for sure! I was the only one on the block, heck, probably at least a mile or so with a home PC. That was in the late 80's. My Engineer father in law used to give me all his old PC, and since it was a hobby, they were always fairly new. I hear ya!!! Good Luck.

Hello Marion,
Its nice to meet you here in WA. Thank you for following and now am following you back. Congratulations for all your achievements. I could see you are a great helper in this very awesome community. It shows how great a mentor you are as well. I am a newbie here, inexperienced and not so well equipped with the new techs like in the online world. I hope you can give a hand when I would also need one.
Cheers,
FriendFelix (FF) :-)

That sounds like a good idea, I am just starting out and realistically I want go kick my job to the curb so I can do this full time or at least more then I do now, I keep seeing things and how they can go, I am not sure how to get them where I need them to be to make an income from it.

Hi Marion,
Thank You so much for adding me to your “Following”!!!
I also worked on a Commodore 64 as well as the old IBM System 38. For the year 2000 fiasco with old computers I converted a 37 workstation Sys 38 network to Windows NT (got MS Certified to do that though). Great Times Eh???
I have seen a lot of programs over the last 4 years and this looks and feels right!!!
I would greatly appreciate it if you would please let me know if there are any important tips that you think a “Newbie” like I am to WA can benefit from!!!
Best Wishes for Your Continued Success!!!
HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!

Hi Marian. I am sorry I have been bothering you lately, but, I really love your training, somehow your way to teach seems like it gets through my thick head. I have a question. Why do we need a custom link menu? Thank you. I tell you the story about what I was doing and how I end up sending you this note with a question. For start, I am following your training that I have on my Desktop home page. The drag and drop Menu and unclickable head. I think is very easy to follow your tutorials. Thanks again for all the help.

Dear Marion. I recently got to promote, Honey Colony products. My problem is, they have so many products and I don't want to make my website so busy. So I was thinking that maybe I should do the parent page stuff. I am sorry, I am not that technical. Anyway, I did three pages with the main stuff that they have. So, now I was thinking to put 25 different categories on each page on child pages. I am not sure how you call it... I think doing like a link is not going to work because there are too many. These are products that I am talking about. Please help me, I am very confused. Thank you so much, Marion.

Thanks for following me and I like your bio here. I went to a Blogher (blogging and web business for women) conference over 10 years ago, and tried to start a site but could not figure it out - and was easily distracted from the task because of my main hustle. Can't wait to check out your training. Am filled with hope now!

Hi Marion;
I like the way you put it, "you need a main hustle and a side hustle".
My maim hustle is trucking the USA and my side hustle is WA. Since I work 2 weeks and have 2 weeks off every month, I will have time to work on my WA business.
I have seen your training video site and bookmarked it for future visits, to learn more about this business.
Been to Australia in the mid 80's and enjoyed it very much. One of my goals is to return to Australia in the next 2 years for another visit.

Hey Marion--Hello Australia! Thanks for the follow and now I am following you, as well. It will take me time to get to your training videos and things as I am now on my 4th day here @ WA. And only my 2nd as a Premi. Lots to do and see and learn and tons of folks to chat with. I wish you continued success in your mentoring!

Hi Marion, just a quick question you may be able to help me with, do I need a separate Google + account for each website business, as my G+ account is in the name of my offline business which would not relate to a WA review site.
If so can you tell me how I go about this as when I go on google my business there doesn't seem to be anywhere to add another.

Since adding the "s" to my HTTP I didn't realize I needed to add all new verification codes to my SEO. I want to thank you for your very easy to follow instructions, saved me a ton of time! I do have one question, it shows on my search console, the indexing for the smartphone is still not complete. Am I missing something?
Again, thank you for all your great training :)

I don't know what you could be missing Meherbani. Did you submit a sitemap to Google Search Console? Sitemap: Using All in One SEO Plugin
I got rejected once by Amazon affiliate program despite the fact that I made a comission of 4.1 USD from a 82 dollar necklace order. They stated that my website is not really developed and that my content is lacking. I am trying to tap on the power of the social media,youtube, and even my own blog. I am not sure what has gone wrong and don't really understand Amazon's bottom limit. Could you enlighten me on this? Thank you.

Hi Marion.
I was approved by the Adsense team last month. In my Wordpress area, I clicked on Appearance, Widgets then dragged a new text box to the right hand side. Then pasted the Adsense code into the box and saved.
Since then my website has not displayed any ads and I wonder which steps I have left out?
I would appreciate your guidance.
Regards to you.

It takes time for Google to start serving up the ads. It may be an hour or even a day or two. Give me a link to your website so I can take a look at the code.

Hi Marion. I assume that you need my website username and password to login through the Site Manager?

No, I don't need to log in, just the url for your home page. I can check the code in my browser.

That's the code to get page level ads (don't ask, it's complicated). Go to Adsense and create a new ad. Get the code for the new ad and paste it into the text widget instead of the code that's there now. Adsense Without a Plugin Remind me to have a look at your website tomorrow to see if the ad shows up.

Hi Marion
I revisited the email instructions from Adsense and pasted new code into my text widget. Have a look at the result:
panicattackcured.com
A couple of questions...
1.The ad is slightly positioned to the right and consequently, some of the text is missing. I have tried two size ads but this has not changed.
2. When the site is loaded on my desktop, the ad appears on the right-hand side, under all of my posts and archives. Is he best position?
When loaded on my mobile phone, it is the very last item that a user sees (if they bother scrolling this far!)
I would appreciate your comments.
Thanks, Marion.

I suggest you go back to Adsense and create a new ad. This time choose Responsive for the size and they will then only send ads which fit into the available space.
The best place to put Adsense ads is so that at least half of it is above the fold. They count impressions when at least 50% is visible for one continuous second.

Hey Marion, it was lovely reading your profile and learning a little more about you! My family has a long history of entrepreneurs that were just like you, so I feel inclined to follow in their footsteps! Thank you for the follow. I'll be sure to check in with you if I need any questions answered!

Hi Marion. It is very nice to meet you.
I truly commend your ability to learn from your failed start ups in the past and see it as an opportunity for progress rather than a discouraging event. I strongly believe that is one of the marks of a great entrepreneur.
I have started my path to entrepreneurship this year. My main hustle is my chemical engineering degree, which I will hopefully finish up over the next two years. My side hustle is affiliate marketing, which I hope to work on for the next few years so that I can become financially independent and ditch my main hustle.

It looks like you've got a header image and a logo. Both of those can be added or removed by going to Appearance > Customize in your WordPress dashboard.
