Hey Natalia
I had the same problem, I tried all the copyright free websites, I found more free pic websites but nothing had what I was searching for.
I then went straight to the actual company. I emailed their head office and told them what I was wanting to do and they directed my email to the office in my country and after a little chat, the head of marketing gave me access to all the materials I had requested.
Remember your helping the company by promoting their products, It's worth trying to email all the big brands. I got better pictures and exactly what I was looking for.
Hope it comes right for you.
I had never considered going directly to any companies as it is not something that I needed as yet. But after seeing your success with it I will definitely keep it in the mind for the future. Thanks for the information!!
Yes, keep it in mind.
I struggled literally 2 full days trying to source the right visual content and I thought, why the hell not. :)
Yup what Kylle said...go straight to the source. You'll be surprised how much support you can actually get from those companies when you want to promote their products ;)
Many sites are available, you can pick up images you like:
WA has own resources (images are optimized), pixabay.com - also.
SiteContent right here at WA has free images you can use. Wealthy Affiliate has grouped in SiteContent 3 platforms that provide free images (Pexels, Unsplash and Pixabay). This might be useful: Using images downloaded with SiteContent outside and inside Wealthy Affiliate
Yes i had a look but they dont have specific pictures i need for my site and instagram etc i might contact the companies directly

It might be worth going back to the early cert training on leveraging images. I think I remember Kyle mentioning going into stores and taking pictures yourself if that is something you are able to do. I am not 100% sure but might be worth looking into.

I am only starting Level 2, I do have the website and i have an idea what i want it to look like, what menus, pages, buttons i want and where BUT i am so limited when it comes
I have zero knowledge when I get started as well, so I decided to just follow the courses. I learned in the process and still have lots to learn. Don't worry about anything and just stick to the course, I choose to believe we're in good hands here in WA, influenced by a lot of successful and knowledgeable people sticking with WA.
Good luck!
All the best,
Jenni
Yes, I agree just continue with the courses... step-by-step you will learn about WP... Additionally, WP is having own help tools - you can use them when needed. And help tools in WA are very useful.
Just continue on the courses and you will learn everything. Sometimes, and maybe no one told you this yet, but up at the top of the page, here it says "Hey, NataliaR, search for help here"
you can do searches to see if there is any other information on the topic you might be looking for. For example, if you want to learn how to make a custom menu, you could search custom menu and several different articles will show up.
Hi Dear NataliaR
Yes You have got enough courses of how to cutsomize a wordpress from the beggining to the end, but trust me within the next few days, when you login tryiing to post pages, write and add pages , posts to your web site, you will know each options, and wordpress is the huge and easy to understand it, i love wordpress,
So within few days i am sure you will be able to know it so then you can change as you wish, In my first weeks it already happened to me too but now i am ok i can customize it, so don't worry what you have to do is just foolow your courses, i recommend you this.
As i have told you already me too I had the same questions at the beggening but when I use it dailly, everything comes by experience.
Now i can customize my wordpress as i wish to be, so don't worry, but incase you can't customize just let me know specifically I love to help you at any time,
N.B Tips for today
if you want to customize, go to your word press dashboard.
Then look where there is Appearance a little bit down...
Then you will see appearance and hover over it...
you will see customize click and see the options listed over there
Try to see them one by one, they are very easy.good luck
if you still need something don't hesitate to ask me, i am here to help you
have a great tiime
thank you, atm i wanted to add the buttong on my front page, on my background image that would direct people to certain page on my website like "pick your brand" button for example (my niche is urban footwear) but i dont even know where to start :)
Hey NataliaR just keep listening the lessons and they will really direct you where to go and what to do.
good luck dear
When I came to WA, I already knew how to build a Wordpress website... but I remember the first time I saw a dashboard and didn't know what to do with it... If you have any questions you can always ask... I will be happy to help.
The design of our site depends a lot on the Wordpress theme that we choose.

Great start, there is another way to get prompt is by earning credits and using the credits to receive comments or feedback; you can buy credits of offer comments or feedback.-2 credits for 1 request.
You have done well but perhaps a little about what you have done- your background for example. Best wishes.
Hi Gigi
You've made a great start to your site. Your writing and structure is excellent. It explains and gives information to the visitor what the site is about. Well done.

Hi, Natalia.
You can create a shop straight away if you have a supplier and then do hard advertising like Facebook adverts and Google Adwords. That is going to cost you money. Then you must also decide whether it will be dropshipped or are you going to keep stock and package it yourself.
If you are going to do blogging you will start to get organic traffic over time and then you can add Amazon affiliate links to your posts for the urban footwear.
It all depends on your budget and your business plan.
Hope this helps
Hennie
Thank you, I dont want to deal with the products and shipping myself etc, i just want to write about footwear etc and affiliate with some companies like amazon or Adidas, nike etc
That is the best way to go. See if you can register as an affiliate with them. Use your affiliate links from the word go. Market your posts to social media. It will take time for organic traffic from the search engines.
So would you say its the best and ok to put affiliate links straight away even though i wont be getting any traffic at the beginning? BTW really appreciate your help!
Yes, Natalia. Especially if you share your posts on social media and you never know who stumbles on your post.
When you get ranked and start to get traffic, it is easy to forget that there are no links in your posts. Links also help with ranking.

Thank you :) I want to test some of them was just wondering if there is a point going straight away to shop style theme when you re just starting out , because at the beginning we just have to drive traffic to our sites with interesting content so was wondering if it’s maybe better to go for magazine style theme :) thank you
Hi. I picked the Ryan theme, as it is simple and fit the look I was going for in my first site.
I really does depend on what your niche is, and whether it looks good when you test it.
