Hi, it's great to meet you, my name is Marion and I live in Adelaide Australia.
marionblackonline.com
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. So if I'm not around Wealthy Affiliate as much as I used to be it's because I'm working on my side 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 start ups 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 any more.
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.

Thanks for the follow. I've reciprocated and hope to share some success soon. I remember the old dial-up connections too and at the time I was in the video business too - albeit making pharmaceutical marketing videos. It's a very different world now, but oh so exciting. All the best for today.

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.

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.
Thank you again for your invaluable help,

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,
Katherine

Thank you. I remember Commodore 64. My first was Tandy TRS-80 microprocessor from Radio Shack in 1977. It only provided a simple game interface. I loved IBM MS-DOS and creating databases three years later. Of course, there were those moment when I forgot to backup and lost everything. Great memories.

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.

Hi Marion, thanks for that. I'm a bit confused. I thought we could share anything with other WA members? I've seen lots of links to Google accounts, FB, Twitter and Instagram in various comments by WA members. I hadn't seen the article about spam. I didn't think my website, created here in WA, would be regarded as spam. Am a bit confused.

You'll be OK Suzy.
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.

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.

Hi Marion, Loved your post on flouting the rules! Having only just joined I was under the impression the more people you followed the higher your ranking. However that tends to leave you with a ton of emails to get through, some of which are not worth it. So what is a `rule` to follow?....Follow the top 100?

Marion, your profile alone is enough to motivate someone, not to mention all the blog posts and training. You and I must be kindred spirits of sorts, also started my first business in my teens, and have never looked back, always have worked for myself in one form or another. Is there any other way to live a happy and fulfilled life?

Hello Marion,
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Hi Marion,
Many thanks for this tutorial and many others that I haven't yet been able to see.
You certainly are inspiring for me...wow, what an experience. I am a newbie on this "business" and I guess it might take a long time for me to get used to all this.
I have been following the very descriptive steps you tell us to insert a WA banner in sidebar widget and I could do with your help. I am stuck at some of the steps, as my computer doesn't always show the same options than the ones explained by you:
- To start with, I have no option to use the "incognito window" when clicking on the banner, thus unable to verify effectiveness
- Also, when pressing the "text" box when editing the post, to copy the text that should appear, no text comes up.
Grateful if you could help me to resolve the above.
Cheers,

Hi Marion,
Boy, do I wish you lived in my neck of the woods and I could visit you and have some coffee. I'm Susan, I live in San Diego and I am very new at Web Pages. I was even looking for a book that would explain (Show me a picture) all the parts of a web page to me. Anyway, I just watched your training on tried adding WordPresses Panoramic Premium theme. The problem is that I can't find it now and when I go to my themes folder it not there. My page looks just like it did before I put the premium in. What I mean is that when I try to customize there's nothing new there. It looks the same as the free one did.
Boy, I hope I'm making myself clear I'm too old to get this flustered. HA! HA! HA!
I think I really messed up and went way beyond my skills. Is there any way to fix this.
Thank You,

I was even looking for a book that would explain (Show me a picture) all the parts of a web page to me. Anyway, I just watched your training on tried adding WordPresses Panoramic Premium theme. The problem is that I can't find it now and when I go to my themes folder it not there. My page looks just like it did before I put the premium in. What I mean is that when I try to customize there's nothing new there. It looks the same as the free one did.
Boy, I hope I'm making myself clear I'm too old to get this flustered. HA! HA! HA!
I think I really messed up and went way beyond my skills. Is there any way to fix this.
Thank You,
Susan

Wealthy Affiliate doesn't actually sell themes. If you got it through your website which is hosted at WA then it's not a premium theme. Premium themes can be purchased from the theme's developers. Free themes come from wordpress.org and are installed through your WordPress dashboard.

Hey Marion, thanks for the reply but I bought one of my domains through bluehost and the other through shopify. I had both of the transfer numbers and on WA when I try verify transfer it emails the authorization code but it never shows up in my inbox. I've checked both the email that my WA profile is linked to as well as shopfiy and bluehost emails and I haven't gotten any email

The email will go to the email address which is registered at whois. Are your contact details up to date on the domain name registration? Do you have privacy activated? You have to turn off privacy so they can find the correct email address in whois.

Dear Marion,
I thank you very much for the follow and your video tutorials and your enthusiasm to help others.
Much appreciate that.
I love a magical little place in SA called Penong and the surrounding areas Cactus - Point Sinclair.
It seems like I have come to another magical little place WA.
Best wishes and thank you once again.

Hi, Marion, I have an online store hosted with GoDaddy and the domain is registered with GoDaddy also. It doesn't get much traffic at all, but I do have some customers that I want to keep.
I want to keep the domain name because it is part of the brand, should I just move the domain to WA. and build a new site, or leave it alone and build a site to send customers to the online store at Godaddy.
If I transfer the domain to WA, how long would it take before I could start building the new website? Your expert help and opinions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Clay.

If it's a WordPress site then you can back it up and move it to WA. Contact Site Support to help you with this. Submit a Support Ticket to SiteRubix Hosting Technical Support If it's built on a different content management system then create a new Site Rubix subdomain and built it out from scratch. Once you've got everything set up on the subdomain you can change your domain's nameservers to WA and move the contents of the subdomain to your domain name. Transfer a Domain Name, Move a Website

Hi Marion... you seem to know what you are doing here... I want to pick your brain fro a sec, if I please can.
I watched your video on how to set up a aStore and I did everything exactly as you pointed out. But when I come to integrating aStore with my website by pasting the Embedded link on the text side of my page, nothing happens. I get a blank page.
I am hosting through WA siterubix. is there a trick I'm missing?

Yes, I had to add an update to the training due to the SSL certificates. Please watch SSL and Amazon aStores

Hi Marion,
It looks like you've been at this for quite awhile. I will be following you and delving into your expertise as I go along I'm sure. I started learning on a KayPro back in the 80's. In spite of that, I still don't feel like I know much. I have never progressed to programming and never will. I will check out your trainings as time permits. Cheers, Joy

I've been a yearly premium member since July 2014. So yes, you can purchase your premium membership for a year and it's much cheaper than the monthly cost. Go to your Account Settings and under Subscription you'll find Membership. Click on Manage to change to yearly.

Me again. I hope you are sleeping like a baby.
The last thing you said in your training was to go to Google Console and make sure to register both http and https. The https was already there. When I tried to verify the http, I couldn't find 'upload file to http://tracyfryer.com'. Can you explain?

Hi Marion
I'm quite amazed by your accomplishments in the computer world. I myself is not a computer savvy but would want to. I've been with WA for nearly three months but haven't done much on my website. I got stuck somewhere on website creation and cant go on. I didnt have the motivation to do anything yet. I'm quite busy on other things but I want to prioritize my training on WA... I will have to look at your training modules and may have to apply it to my website.
Thanks for following me..
Regards
Mila

Oh dear, Marion. I only come and bother you when I have tried and tried to figure out my problem myself.
A site (Semrush) did an assessment on my website and the most (215 errors) were about turning http into https. I know I cannot do that myself. It involves getting a SSL certificate. Doing all this will help my ranking, or so they say. Could I please have your considered opinion on this matter?

Hi Tracy,
Your site is hosted at WA so you have immediate access to an SSL certificate. Free SSL for Everyone - Encrypting Your Sites Has Never Been Easier After you get your SSL certificate you'll want to check this out SSL: Activation, No Padlock, Mixed Content and Google Search Console Yes, having an SSL certificate is important and it will soon become a major ranking (and user experience) factor.
