Is there a BF deal on a year of premium membership and if so how much does it cost?

As others said, it is P+ yearly only this year.

You are already on the deal from last year, it is $497 for the year, and that includes 8 bonus classes, and doubling the AI credits to 60,000 per month. You are getting these bonuses automatically because you are grandfathered into this rate from last year.

Let us know if you have any further questions Mark. ;)

Dear Kyle, I truly appreciate what you and Carson do for the community in Wealthy Affiliate, but this Black Friday the Premium Members who cannot afford to spend 500 dollars all at once have been left behind. Not fair at all.

thanks Kyle,

I was actually asking because I am promoting WA now and wanted to know what to tell them.

Sure no problem, if you have any further questions, Mark just holler.

Kyle, I sent you a question vis direct message. Take a look when you can. thanks

Romy,

I would upgrade to Premium plus if you can. It is really a great deal and you will be locked in for a year and at that price in case it goes up next year. If you do that then you have an entire year to grow your business with the maximum tools and classes available to you and then you can always re evaluate in a year to determine if you want to continue with another year of P+ or downgrade to P

Think about it

No Black Friday deal for Premium Members this year. Maybe Wealthy Affiliate does not value us as important members of its community.

Hey Romy,

We are valued members of this community. The Black Friday 2024 offer targets Premium Plus Annual. You can either stay at Premium or upgrade to Premium Plus. The choice is yours.

Be safe and healthy out there, my friend.

All the best,
Maxine :)

there is the third choice too: leaving wealthy affiliate which I am strongly considering. Peace.

Your art is beautiful. Romy.

Peace.

Maxine :)

I am really wondering why they would not offer a premium deal like in years past. They are locking out many potential sales by disallowing people who don't want to spend 497 right now but could pay less and subscribe. I don't understand the logic in this.

Hey Mark,

I would love to upgrade to Premium Plus. However, I can't afford $497 all at once. Guess what? I am going to build my online business without Premium Plus.

Maxine :)

Same here Maxine! I love your determination! We will keep building our business with our own determination! Hugs to you!

That's right, Romy. Stay strong and do the best that you can.

Maxine :)

That is great Maxine! You can do that with Premium too. Once you build up your online business than you can switch to premium plus. Wishing you continued success and exponential growth!!

Thank you for the words of encouragement. Only when your back is against the wall do you see who's there for you.

Maxine :)

The WA BF deal is just for the Premium Plus Annual

thanks

I just got approved with Amazon Associates and can now use their PA API. Is this hard to use? Do I need programming skills? What are the benefits of using it? Is there any

Congrats, Mark!

I don’t use the Amazon API. I use images from the manufacturer’s website, make them non-clickable, and put a button below the image that says “Check price on Amazon,” which has my Amazon text affiliate link.

The best method is to use an API plugin.

Are allowed to use images from manufacturer website without getting permission?

Hi Mark

Some manufacturers may require permission, but I've never had a problem. I usually modify the images in Canva so they are a good pictorial representation of the product but are not like the original photo.

When readers click on the button with the affiliate text link, they will see all the original photos from the manufacturer on Amazon.

When I had 25,000 visits/month on GSC, before the Google traffic crash, I was only making about $100/month with Amazon Associates. Amazon has such low commissions that, for me, it's not worth the hassle. I could easily do without Amazon Associates, if they dropped me from their program.

Still, if you want to do it right, use their image API. 😎

Frank 🎸

I don't think Amazon will be big for me either. Commission is 1%!!!!

Yeah, if you sell a $1,000 item, that’s $10 for you. Lol. 😆
You need BIG website traffic to make it worthwhile.

At this point I favor promoting WA - which is a fantastic deal, email marketing, search engine PPC, and promoting website posts and landing pages on social channels.

Sorry for not being clear. I got my 3 sakes and I am fully approved

Hi Mark,

As Michael pointed out, you do need three qualified sales within 180 day.

Here’s a tutorial: Hope this helps.

All the best,
Maxine :)

Sorry for not being clear. I got my 3 sales and I am fully approved

Ok. That's great, Mark. So, are you going to try the basic freemium Lasso plugin?

I've been putting off doing the basic research of getting images and prices legally.

A banner on my swebsite was the go to. But, they aren't allowed anymore.

Congratulations, Mark!

Maxine :)

Not sure yet what I will do. I need to research and learn more about the options

By the way, Congratulations!

Michael

🙏

Here are some Amazon plugins if you are interested in fetching an API (you would need to have attained the three sales in 180 days.)

Lasso Offers a Freemium but it very basic. The cheapest option in the list is probably going to be AffiliNinja

Affilininja
Lasso
Geniuslink
Amalinkspro

You can get Images and Prices using your API without violating the Amazon Terms of Service.

Michael

Thanks Michael! I hit my three sales and fully approved. Must I use a plug in to use amazon’s api?

After they updated the TOS, yes, Before you could use Site Stripe, but they have taken it away. Be sure to stay on top of the terms of service because, with Amazon, they change quickly and often.

I am considering subscribing to an AI
Which one is best? Chat GPT or Claude AI or other? Why?

My personal preference is ChatGPT.

1. ChatGPT: For general AI work
2. Perplexity: For article research
3. Claude: For creative outputs such as improve articles and social media posts.

Thanks Jay,

What do you think of Poe.com? It seems with them you can get access to many of the AI tools for one price without having to subscribe to each one.

Never heard of it so unable to render an opinion.

Claude is my personal favourite at the moment because it's quite creative and really seems to understand my niche.

Personally Mark, I subscribe to Poe.com!!

It contains pretty much all of the mainstream AI models and many, many more!!

It's a great place to experiment and try out which work best for your individual needs!

There is a monthly limit on how much one can use it though...

But... both my wife and I use it to the full on a daily basis and we have never even gotten close to reaching the permitted limit!!

It's about 23 bucks a month I think and you can cancel it at any time....

Worth a go in my opinion my friend!! :-)

Thanks I will look into that. Thanks Jessie!

Do that my friend! I have heard some people don't like it but it works fantastically well for me!!

Everything under one roof and very simple to use!!

👍👍

actually 19 per month and 16 and change if you pay yearly. It seems like on Poe you get access to every major AI tool out their for one price.

Even better then Mark! Give it a try and let me know what you think my friend! :-)

I will probably try the free version

That is what worked for me to begin with Mark!

Then the wife tried it out and it was no more sufficient so I had to upgrade!! :-)

Jessie, with Poe do you need to choose which chat box you want to use with each chat or does it use the most appropriate one automatically?

Ummm?? Yes Mark... you need to choose which individual bot you wish to put your prompt into or to just have a chat with!!

Do this by selecting the "My Bots" tab on the left hand side of your home home page....

Select your chosen bot and away you go!!!

Also... there is an option to compare results with other available bots once you have given your original prompt to your chosen bot!!

Play around with it a bit my friend and please feel free to ask for more info from me when needed!! :-)

I prefer ChatGPT, have used others. Don't love it for imagery, I use other platforms for that.

We leverage OpenAI (GPT) for the tools/platform here, they are by far the most progressive in my mind and from our tests/experience.

Thanks Kyle

It's just a matter of personal preference. I've loved GPT from the beginning. The latest version is spot on, does live searching to answer questions, and it has an amazing Voice chat that is straight up from the future 💯 I use the paid version which is $20/month. Others really enjoy Claude as well. Try them out and see which is a better fit for you.

thanks. I like both on the free version. But I am getting annoyed that after a short conversation with either I need to wait hours to use it again so thinking of subscribing. I guess I can always unsubscribe and switch to the other if I want. I will try one of them. Probably Chat GPT.
