Something to remember

I had to write this because I wanted to share my experience with user testing and some lessons I have learned so far. You can get a free Peek test and find out someone's first impression of your site. I have done this about a handful of times in the past and have been frustrated, pleased, etc. Keep in mind that, many times, it seems like the person reviewing the site does not have an idea of what goes into making a site or they may not take the time to really look at your site. The more I h

Quick question

Am I allowed to post a blog about allowing people to add links from their sites on my site? I have a blog post written but I don't want to put it up if it's not allowed. The thought is to help other WA members by possibly giving them traffic and sending some of my readers their way. Thanks!

Feeling Overwhelmed

Well, it's time for me to whine a little and ask for help from you all. I have changed so much on my site that many of the comments on pages were lost. I would like to ask, if you have time, could you go to http://babieslearnthroughplay.com and look around. If you see something you would like to comment on, please do. Any feedback is appreciated as well. Now, my overwhelmed feelings (and the whining). I start my practicum for my Master's Degree in Social Work on January 2. I am still reco

Wealthy Affiliate - My First Success!

I'm so excited!!!! Just two days after simplifying my site and.....I got approached and paid for my first sponsored review!!!! I've been approached by a second company but haven't responded to them yet because I'm not sure their product fits with my site. Happy dance!!!!

I don't know when I may make more money from my sit

Been gone a while

Hello all! I have not been on here very much for a while. I have been busy with school, work, and creating my site. It's been busy! I have actually been struggling with my site for some time now and I think it may help for me to share so newer members can learn from the frustrations and realizations I have experienced. So, here goes..... 1. I started "monetizing" my blog. Never felt real good about the results but I kept working on it. 2. Quit writing as much content because I was just t

Twitter

I would like to ask you to follow me on Twitter. I currently have 52 followers and need to get at least 100 to participate in some programs for sponsored review opportunities. My link is https://twitter.com/babieslearn I really appreciate your help :) I would also like to ask how you use Twitter to engage with visitors to your site. I am looking for ideas to become more engaged with my readers. I would appreciate any tips.

Another update!

Here is my update so far. My site is growing and I'm pretty pleased with it. I still struggle with monetizing my site and have plans to change things up. Still not making $$ (except that 17 cents ha!) so it's something I need to do. I have had over 3000 visitors to my site this month! Woo hoo! Like I said, it's growing and I'm still within two months of creating it and joining WA. In fact, I will be here two months on the 28th :) I've finally figured out whether to be adding posts or pag

A new member needs help with a question!

Hey guys. I noticed the other day that a new member, Laurie, had a question. I tried to answer it but I'm still learning myself and wasn't able to figure out her problem. Since her question wasn't getting many answers, I thought I would type it on here. Thank you for your help! LKMcCain asked: I linked my WA profile page to my webpage as instructed in Affiliate Bootcamp, phase 1 lesson 9 by copying the address into the link on the webpage. When I shut down WA and brought up my webpage like

A touching gift.

I would like to share this page with everyone. I was given a gift by a member when I first came to WA and started posting about my niche. Out of the blue, Loes gave me a piece of her work. She has touched my heart and I want to share her gift with you. She is a perfect example of the support and caring you get when you join this community. Thank you Loes. I applaud you. http://babieslearnthroughplay.com/feeding-your-baby/breastfeeding-baby

I did it!

I finally submitted my video to the peek site and got a pretty good review. I was a little anxious but it's done. Also, I can't be an Amazon affiliate but I got approved for Walmart so I'm excited that I get to start monetizing my site the way I would like to using product reviews. And...drum roll please....I have one subscriber to my site. Happy Dance! I'm going to celebrate each and every good reward for all of this hard work! Woot!
