3rd Anniversary and Signs of Success

It's been 3 years since I joined WA and went Premium. Wow! Time flies when you're having fun (and working hard). My most successful site so far (at least it has inklings of becoming successful) is a year old this month too.I recently had enough Amazon sales and was approved as an Amazon Associate (finally!). As most of you know, when you're new, it's not as easy as some would think to be approved with Amazon. You have to make sure you have the disclaimer showing on your site, "As an Amazon Asso

Site Comments - Tips

I wanted to give a few tips on leaving Comments under Website Comments for other's articles.Leaving a comment is not a book report. Reiterating what was said in the article is not what we're looking for. Actually engage with the author and ask questions, show surprise or gratitude. Preferred: Saying things like: I found it interesting that .... or, That is surprising that .... or I love this idea... is what we're looking for. I've had many comments lately that are not helpful or that even loo

Extended Premium Plus at the Black Friday Price!

Woohoo! I extended my Premium Plus membership for another year. It is added on to my previous membership and I'm locked in at this price. If you are wondering if Premium + is worth it, it is. I have gained some new insights and great tips from the Expert classes so far and I've barely scratched the surface of all the classes available.I hope you are able to take advantage of the Black Friday deal. Best wishes and Happy Holidays! I hope you have a fruitful Black Friday and holiday season.Paula

Signs of Success - Newish Site

I have a newer site I've been working on. It meets the criteria as one of my passions. I've been following the training we all get here and advice of others to post a lot of informational articles, fewer 'money pages' with affiliate links. You know what? It's working. My stats are blowing me away on Google Analytics. My bounce rate on this site is 24.4%! That is amazing to me. Pages per session is 3.32. Those are stats for the last 30 days. Now, I don't have a ton of visitors yet, but it's incr

Upgraded to Yearly Premium +

Well, I decided to go yearly on my Premium Plus membership, to save a little money over paying monthly and get the extra bonus credits. :) It's also a little more of a commitment which will spur me on a bit more to work harder and smarter.My business decision to do this is based on the fact that I could pay this much or more for hosting alone somewhere else with the features we get just on the hosting side of things. But I get so much more with the Expert classes which are proving to be more t

So Pleased - First Sale on Newest Site

I was so pleased to see a sale when I logged into one of my affiliate networks today. This is on my newest site. It sure makes you feel like you're doing something right! It's not a lot of money but the validation is real.I had changed my domain name for the site a little over a month ago. The previous domain wasn't getting any action at all for 3 months. So I made the switch. All the signs say it was a good decision. Search results, clicks, etc.It doesn't even get a lot of traffic yet, just a

My 2nd Training - CJ Affiliate Deep Linking

Hi WA Family,If you're part of the CJ Affiliates network, I have a new training on how to put all their tools to use. They have some great tools available to use you may not know about. Not long ago, I started exploring these tools and love the results. Sample image below:If you'd like more than just a plain boring link, check out the training and at least know all the tools you have available. It shows how to deep link to specific products, not just use their stock banners. CJ Affiliate Deep L

My First Training :)

Hi wonderful WA'ers. Hope you're doing well and staying safe.I created my first training! Yeahh! I've been wanting to do this for quite a while and found something I feel is definitely worth sharing. There are some great tools that some affiliate networks give us. I didn't discover them, really, or their full potential until recently. So I wanted to share one of them. Probably will all of them soon.FlexOffers network has some great tools (and commissions) we can use.Here is a link to the train

Don't Be Afraid

I haven't posted in a while, but I just wanted to say.. Don't Be Afraid. It's okay to try new things. It's okay to experiment. You aren't going to screw it up.There is always the preview button, you don't have to Save or Publish. As Jay recommends in Live Training, just create a free site or a 'play around post' that you don't Publish. Just save it to draft.. over and over. Google doesn't know it exists unless you publish. Neither do your visitors. I play around with my live site. I know there
