Can i turn my site into an ecommerce store following dropshipping model or its solely for affiliate marketing?
You can do whatever you want with your site.
The only restriction that WA imposes on sites hosted here, as far as I know, is on porn or adult content type sites.
My honest suggestion to you is to take things slowly and not get ahead of yourself.
Of course I have no idea what you know about online marketing but all these topics you bring up are covered in the training.
Start there and work your way through the lessons to find the best way to get traffic to your site because, regardless of your niche or your marketing method (affiliate marketing, drops hipping etc), you need traffic for people to see what you have to offer.
I made the mistake of trying to get sales quickly and I fully understand your situation in Zim may create this sense of emergency but in almost every case slowly wins the race online because at the end of the day it is Google that determines our ranking and hence our traffic.
Let me give you something to think about.
There are 547,000 new websites created every day. Websites not web pages. And we are competing with all of the ones that are in our niche.
To get a post of your website ranking on page 1 Google needs to believe that you are a serious business and here to stay. So Google waits and watches what you do. To get them to sit up and look you need to post quality content often for a period of time.
You need for Google to trust you enough to put your site in front of their customers.
Make sense?
After a few months they will start pushing you up the ranking until you pop up on page one and you will stay there if you keep plugging away at additional relevant content.
So many people give up too soon not knowing quite how close they are to success.
It does take work and in most cases a lot of hard work to get the train going but after that it is unstoppable.
Hope that helps.

Thank you so much for the advice, will take to the training first whilst creating content. Nice to have someone in my corner who knows where I'm coming from. I really appreciate this. All the best to you too.
Is this the same question you asked me earlier? I think it is.
Do a search at the top for "ecommerce store" and "drop shipping"
I know there are several people here who do both of those.
Best of luck.

Can we even add external plugins other than those provided here at WA?
Hi, you can also build ecommerce store capability within your WordPress. Or do a corp site if you like or membership sites.
As long as it can run on WA servers, then yes. Before I do anything I always check my concern with site support just to be certain and before I go ahead and purchase additional premium tools, templates, plugins.

Hi .. There are some members that build and manage websites for their own clients so yes not all sites hosted here will be for affiliate marketing.
You are able to add custom or purchased plugins by going to the Plugins tab from your wordpress back office and then clicking Add New. You will then see the option to upload a plugin. This is where you will want to go to add it.
Good luck, Shannon
