hi madison, you should be able to access your site until the end date.
your site will have 30 days after that until your site is hidden, to allow you time to move it to a new host.
good luck with whatever you choose to do

You should be able to access your WA account as usual until the membership expires. You will have 30 days to move your website to another hosting provider as WA only hosts websites for premium members.
I provide a professional site migration service should you need assistance.

I am sure this is a question that a lot of new members ask around here. I definitely ask myself that question today after I do some quick ca
I am answering this from an accountant/book keepers point of view, not as someone that has affiliate income coming in right now.
I think you have done an excellent analysis. However, you have not built in time to get the necessary traffic to the website in order for the sales to be occurring. Also, with fashion - styles are changing so you can not expect each item offered to continue to sell over the five years for example.
Based on your analysis , with your chosen niche....the income goals may need to be adjusted some . You may need to increase the time you work on the niche also. Is it possible to maybe sell some of your own dresses rather than just relying on affiliate income. That would increase the profit per item.
Are there any other things that you could market that are related to your niche that might have a higher commission? Try thing outside the box.
Thank you Sondra for your input. Yes, all of those numbers are for the future, assuming that I have spent some time building the expertise and traffic. I want to do the calculation now so that before I spend too much time on it, I know whether I can be successful or not.
As you said, based on my calculations, being an affiliate alone may not allow me to reach my target income goals. I have thought about dropshipping and selling my own products, but I just want to get other people's opinion to confirm my analysis.
You are welcome. Getting the traffic at the beginning is probably the most challenging part. Once you have the traffic, selling your own products would be most profitable since they don't eat or have high ongoing maintenance costs (like mine does.)
Best wishes. Again, I thought your analysis was amazing. I need to do something similar asap.
That's exactly what I plan to do. I'm here to learn about starting an online business, and the cheapest way to do it with doing affiliate marketing. Once I know how to do it and can get good traffic, I plan to start doing drop shipping or sell my own products to increase the income.
Thanks. I hope it can help other members too. Good luck with your business too (and I think your business is fun and interesting)!

Hello,
I am trying to set up a page that shows all products under the "dresses" category to show up there. However, I want it to look like a shop page, with only 12 produ
Hi,
it might be different depending on the theme, but what I did on my site was this:
Get rid of the "per_page" command.
Then go to "settings" -> "reading" and set the number of posts you want to show on your blog roll to 12.
Like I said, this might not work with your theme.
But it did in mine.
It appears that the number of products shown is the same as the number of blog posts.
I hope it works the same with your theme.
Let me know if it does.
If not, I will try and dig deeper.

Hi Moritz,
Thank you for your quick response! I tried what you suggested and it still doesn't work. That "Category" page does not show the next page still. I've tried googling with no luck. Let me know if you have any other suggestions.
Madison
I have been experimenting a bit.
With categories and subcategories.
The only thing I don't like is the link to the subcategory, but couldn't change it so far.

How did you create the page for "dresses"?
Just with the shortcode?
If yes, try to make it as a subcategory from your shop main page.
Moritz
Yes, I just used the shortcode to display all products under the category="dresses" to show up on that page.
Wow! You seemed to spend a lot of time on this! I really appreciate it! Your sub-category page is exactly what I want. How did you create the sub-category page? I wonder why the same can't be done with the category page.
Madison
I just realized my mistake now after I saw what you did with the sub-category. Instead of using shortcode, I should've just added the Product Category to the menu! I didn't realize that option was available. It's working properly now!
Thank you very much for your help Moritz!!!
Awesome.
Looking great.
May I ask: are you using any plugins or is that just the basic Storefront theme?
I bought the storefront child theme Galleria for my site, and use several plugins and custom CSS to customize it (e.g. Remove the add to cart buttons, etc). So far I like it but sometimes the change that I made to the full website does not get applied to the mobile site.
Thanks.
Will definitely have a look at StoreFront child themes.
Planning to start an e-commerce website.
Cheers
Moritz
You're welcome. They're quite easy to set up. Good luck and all the best!
Thanks again for helping me!

Hi everyone,
So I have decided to create a Shop page for my website, showing all the items that I have mentioned on my blog posts. For each of those items I created a pag
This would depend on the plugin you are using for the shop.
Your best bet would be to contact the shop plugin or theme plugin and see what sort of information they have.
In most cases, there would be some sort of plugin or extension available.

Jay
Thanks Jay! You're right. I found Search & Filter and Woof, and am now learning how to use Woof (Search & Filter seems to be not as flexible as Woof). Thanks a lot for pointing me to the right direction!
You usually have to have some sort of shopping cart installed in your WordPress in order to filter like that. But for what you're doing, it'll cost too much to add it.
I'm not sure if there's another plugin to do filtering.
The other option I'm thinking is this:
- If each product has it's own page, you can filter my adding a "category" or a "tag" for each page.
- So if you have baseball products, you can have categories or tags that are "gloves", "bats", "helmets", etc.
- Then on your summary page, you can have an image for each category and link each image to that category.
- when someone clicks on an image, all the pages related to that category will show.
Let me know if this will work for you. :)
Thank you Littlemama. As Jay suggested, I looked for plugins. Search & Filter and Woof plugins seem to be the right ones!
