Please understand before you comment. This question is for those who want a coach/mentor here at WA and for those who are willing to C

Always free to ask somebody to mentor you.

That is right Kit and that is what this question is about.. I hate to see people struggling and any little bit that can direct them helps.. Personally , that is what I did and I am thankful the person I was bold enough to ask said yes..

I think this is a great idea!!!!

Hi, Kristina, I hope that someone will reply to your coaching need. Keep me updated. I am there for you as well, just not as experienced as others..

We learn all from eachother, so ask questions, and the member with the expertise will answer, look through questions, and if you know, be the mentor yourself and give answers.

I'm thinking the same...

I do this.. I am just trying connect people with each other who want more.

The whole WA community, not only but especially the ambassadors, are my coaches and mentors. I suspect other members have the same thought.

Some people may need the individual attention.. This not about money or what WA has. It about those individuals who want a coach and those who are willing to do so.

My first point of contact would be the person who invited you WA, but there are so many here who are willing to help and you can take lots of different and invaluable advice from all of them. Asking questions will open you up to some great people here. I'm always happy to help anyone in need.

Hi, Gary, Thank you for offering your help..

There and so many people here capable of doing that.and I bet a lot of them will step up.

Hi, Vivian, I hope they do..

Hiya Paula
I am certainly willing to be coached and mentored by the good people on here who make a fortune at Online Marketing....oh, wait a minute, I didn't read that right did I? Oops!!

I think the best thing is to connect in the community, ask questions and create rapport. Most of us have our area of expertise, and are also working on our own stuff:)

So to commit as a mentor might be a bit much, however I do get PM'd with questions, I either answer or direct the member to the right person to get the answer .they need

The basic classes are pretty thorough, once you've gone through a few levels, and asked questions, you pretty much have a sense of who to go to, for such and such a subject.

There are many coaches on here, they'll take time to help you out if needed. Just connect with members, and as I said, ask questions on the question forum :)
Hope this helps

I am simply trying to help people that have asked specifically about wanting a coach. I really appreciate your thoughts though..

I am in need of a good English writer who could direct my blogs work. So if anyone interested?

Post this question on the question forum, you'll get more replies Daniel

Send me a PM Daniel. I'm interested.

I knew you'd be up for that Edu, well done!
Mark

I think that everyone is helping everyone everywhere all the time

Paul, it is to help connect those that need a little more.. This question seems to be getting lost in the fray.. Yes, everyone helps everyone.. But, some people , NOT all, need or want a little more.. I just want to bring the two together.

Understand and well said

It is a totally weird place and very cool. as well, but, I cannot find anyone!

WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS MARKETING PLATFORM? ANYONE?

If you have a Tumblr acc

I don't have a tumblr account yet.

I wouldn't rush it, but, It might be good blogging practice...

I don't have one yet, Sorry Pj.

Thanks, Pio! ;)

I do have a tumblr account but I haven't been proactive with it since early 2014. Just checked it out and I think it is too time consuming for me at present.
All the best with your account.

H, Valerie, well, understood.. It looks so fascinating!!

I don't have a tumbler account.

Not a problem, Alma!♥

I have never signed up for it, but will have a look.

Vivian It is like setting up a mini website! LOl! I was quite surprised!! And to stay away from the porn, I hope to follow my friends here.. I was cautioned to be careful... Eeek!

Yikes. We don't want to sully our stellar reps.

I know, right!? I will be a good influence I promise.. It just the others i am worried about..

Once I find out how to set up 2 tumbler account on this iPad I will link up to your tumbler account. As of now I have LinkedIn, Google+, Pinterest ... Spending more time there than on my site recently. With 1 tumblr account that belongs to my daughter that she is not using. If anyone knows how to get rid of it on this iPad would be greAt so that I can set up my tumblr account. Thanks and good luck PJ. Apeng.

You should be able to delete it in your tumblr setting... It is a bit slow for me though... Good luck !

Like this:

Thank you!♥
http://pjonline16.tumblr.com

sorry I am not on tumblr

Drop the link dear!

I use tumbler all the time, once you start posting people will follow you.but be careful it's usually pornography sites or hook up sites that follow you back. Atleast that has been my experience. I have better luck with Stumbleupon. But I still use tumbler as well. Good luck John D.

Oh, this is good to know! Thank you John....

No problem.

I am thinking of selling my Organic Life and Times website. How hard or how possible is this? I do not imagine that I would make much, but, would like to look into the possibi

Hi, you can get a rough evaluation here:

https://empireflippers.com/valuation-tool/

Hi, Ben, thank you. I will just have to see where it goes.

Flippa is to top venue but be aware there are others.

Thank you so much , Mike!

It's actually very simple as I have bought 14 websites in the last 2 years. I make them profitable and fix them up and then flip them. Best site for this is Flippa. It's the eBay for buying and selling not only websites, but apps, and domains. Good Luck & hope this helps ya. :)

No worries! Wishing you Happy Holidays!

Very interesting this website flipping. I had not heard of it before.. Thank you Kevin!

Garen and IMc have some solid answers...I hope to see this going forward, in case I ever want or need to do that. Good luck PJ!
Ed

Hey, Ed. we will see where it leads..

Depending on your Domain registrar, they should have a section for selling your website

Awesome reply Gordon, I'm actually following this roll:)
Thanks

Hi, there Gordon! How are you? and a very Merry Christmas! and a Happy New Year! Thank you for the information.. pJ

You are welcome Paula, you have a lovely Christmas and a very happy and prosperous new year

Add a Great question and awesome responses. Thanks Paula. I'm definitely going to repost your question, I hope you don't mind :)

Good morning! What's mine is yours! Lol!

Keep us up to date please, you've spiked my interest :)

I will do that Joseph. :-)

Also try http://www.sedo.com.

I believe that you meant the sedo.com site. They're more involved in domain name buying/selling than websites though. (I didn't see any categories for websites the last time I was there.)

Oops, my mistake on the typo. But rectified! Thanks for pointing that out!

I see the distinction you're making. I've never heard much of people actually selling websites, but a lot on domains. I guess I mistakenly assumed PjLucas was wanting to sell her domain.

I apologize, I should pay closer attention next time.

Thank you David. will be looking into that.

The usual valuation is around 20 times monthly earnings.

Flippa.com is the most popular marketplace for buying and selling sites. But there are a lot of scammy sellers. So a legitimate site can often fetch a lot more than 20x earnings. 30 or 40 times is possible.

If it's a new site, with good content but no earnings, then you wont get much, maybe $50 - 200 depending on the amount of content, how old the site is, if it's on the way to being ranked.

What's the URL?

Organicelifeandtimes.com

Hi, there Ian! Hmmm, well, I better let it age a bit and add more content , in the meantime I will be looking into all this great info..

You can sell them on Flippa, Digital Point Forums, Website broker. Basically, the end of this article shows where to buy and sell them: http://tbwhs.com/blog/buying-a-domain-name/

Hey, there Garen, I will take a look at that, thank you, sir!

Well you could put it out there that you want to sell it and if someone wants to buy it, you work out a deal hand over the site and credentials to the buyer and you have sold your website.

Thank you for the good info..Spencer! I appreciate the way you lay that there.:-)

For a newer site, over 5 months old, and only just learning about bounce rates, my WA site tonight is 83%. That is awful! Should I be worried? Is this simply a new site issue

Silly question, but how do you find out what your bounce rate is?

HI, I can see my bounce rate when logged into my google analytics account and click on the Audience Overview Report.(Click on Audience - then overview)

Thanks so much!

Mind is fairly high too, but the average number of pages viewed is usually 1.75. Not sure what to make of that.

They look at one and 3/4 quarter pages! You have to wonder about these stats, Peter! They really need some work.. That is like the average family having 1.3 children.. Ugh. we need definition of stats just to read stats..

Haha, yes average is a funny thing. Like the guy standing in a bucket of ice with his hair on fire. On average he feels perfect.

Lol, ha ha! which is called a median I think the average average. LoL!

True, I guess for two conditions the median and the average will always be the same. ;-)

I'm interested in taking a look at your website to see if there is anything obvious that is making people leave.

Sorry, I didn't realise how that came across. I was just trying to help.

Thank you Marcus, I always learn from you and you truly are helpful!... I think I understand you and was being tongue in cheek. I am sorry!♥

PJ~I'm not sure if it will even itself out because I'm not that far along in all of this. Are you using a landing page to collect visitor data? (e-mail addresses and names) I do know they are highly recommended to improve click through rate. Check this company out .....their blog info and newsletter are free....just sign up. You can also read the past blog articles for ideas and learning.
http://unbounce.com/blog/
Best of luck... let me know if it helped.
Wayne

Thank you Wayne. I will do that.... and will let you know..♥

It is down to 66 and my spam is down, as well, so, happy about that!! yay about that... It seems like bounce rate is on very much a variable. depending on daily values....
i am 47 and 57 on my others, so, that is a relief.

PJ, I've been trying to reduce my bounce rate too.

i have so many other things to do and seems like this should not even be an issue... Just odd! Right?

Omg how I hate Bounce rate ! It's been my nightmare too for quite some time now. I am about 79 now but it has been worse before. Sometimes up to 100 % !
Take a look at Jay's WAbinar if you haven't already I managed to get it a bit lower with the advice Jay is giving :) Good luck!
Angélique

Thank you Angelique . I will do that..

It may well be down to the spam traffic referrals look at your analytics .. aquisition- then overview- channels it is really messing my stats up and I am getting high bounce rates to have tried a few things still no joy

I was thinking that but such a pain to deal with..

I noticed that my referral traffic was really high and the rest was not. I went to check out the referral traffic and it was spam. It can throw your bounce rate right out of kilter. The training mentioned below is very useful.

Thank you Erica!

The best bounce rate I had in a 30 days interval was just under 80%.
Then I got a lot of referral spam which brought it up to over 90% again.

I don't think you need to worry too much about that.
If you notice a lot of referral traffic that has a high bounce rate, you should exclude it from your stats.
Here is a nice training about that: Of course there are ways to improve your bounce rate, too: Hope that helps a bit. :)
Moritz

Thank you Moritz, I had asked about spam earlier and I knew it was related but didn't know if I should be concerned about bounce rate as well. Everything is so intertwined...Thank you again very much!

If you compare bounce rate between new visitors and returning visitors you may find, as I have found, my bounce rate is 66%. However, new visitor bounce rate is 88-90% bounce rate. But, it's a whole lotta spam referral traffic.
Ed

Right! I notice that it varies quite a bit on the same page even depending what time you view it.

Yes it does, Pj. How have you been Pj? Good talking to you...

On my sumoMe analytics page I have two very odd sites coming up in my top referrals list
santasgifts.ml
rusexy.xyz
Most of my other pages stay on my website but not t

Spam referral has been a real pain of late wished google would do something about it, I have tried filters, bad bot blocker even though it does not mess with your site, it totally messes your analytics and the bounce rate is silly so I made notes on my analytics and sent information to google as it worries me that it can affect how google views us and lose rankings or worse still sandbox me

Bummer this is ridiculous.. I saw how bad it made my bounce right.. Let me know if figure out something..

I will let you know if I get anywhere with it

I have recently had a problem with referral spam too and I received the same links for answers. It was reassuring to know that they are not dangerous, however much they mess up your analytics!

they are kind of dangerous - they are logged by google - so google sees your high bounce rate - this can lower your rankings (not confirmed - just a speculation) especially if they are 80% of your traffic, and they can easily stack to hundreds of hits/day

Oh, thank you Shoofar... yuck...:) pJ

Oh gosh, just when you think you are okay!

Wasn't familiar with that but glad no real problems.

Me, too. Always a good thing to ask a question here and freak out later , but, only in last resort..LOL!

PJ, I'm learning from the responses here. Thanks for sharing the question.

It can be quite interesting, yes, Alma? ♥

Here's a tip for one of them?

http://www.ohow.co/stop-rusexy-xyz-referral-google-analytics/

Very helpful. thank you so much!♥PJ

these are spam sites and they create spam referral traffic, it causes high bounce rate in analytics.
You can block it and filter them out from google analytics. but it needs some tech skills...
And it is never ending battle
check this info : or or check out botblocker plugin

Thank you! very much. looking now...

Sorry, I have no idea about it, I don't have the sumoMe yet Pj.

Pio, Well, I think Pj Germain says to not really worry about it spam referral stuff but, I did apply a plug in to see if it changes it.. ;)pj

Are You Sexy.xyz

Very personal question I'd say PJ :-)

There's life in all of us PJ, don't go dying just yet!!

Mark, pretty sure am past being asked that I think! Or caring even! LOL!:) pJ

Thank you, my dear Mark! :) I am working on not doing that, but, you never know... God's grace.... ♥! pJ

I am so sorry I can not help you my dear friend! I hope some can help you to fix this challenge!
Sheila :)

I read two tutorials and am happy to say it is not an issue.. before I got too concerned I said I will just wait until the answers came in and went on to something else... Yay!! thank you Sheila, ♥pJ

A wild guess but sounds like somebody has hacked your page by the looks of those names but not sure how to get rid of them.

Tom, it is only referral spam=bot traffic and it will not hurt our pages only our analytics readings... Pj has a great tutorial on it as does Shoofar...

Very helpful. thank you so much!♥PJ

these are spam sites and they create spam referral traffic, it causes high bounce rate in analytics.
You can block it and filter them out from google analytics. but it needs some tech skills...
And it is never ending battle
check this info : or or check out botblocker plugin

Thank you! very much. looking now...

Sorry, I have no idea about it, I don't have the sumoMe yet Pj.

I read two tutorials and am happy to say it is not an issue.. before I got too concerned I said I will just wait until the answers came in and went on to something else... Yay!! thank you Sheila, ♥pJ

A wild guess but sounds like somebody has hacked your page by the looks of those names but not sure how to get rid of them.

Tom, it is only referral spam=bot traffic and it will not hurt our pages only our analytics readings... Pj has a great tutorial on it as does Shoofar...
