Farewell WA Members! I'll Miss Y'all

Hi, WA Members!I've been very busy lately, and as I'm drawing close to the end of my premium membership, I thought I should say goodbye now before it gets too late. I've still got two websites here that I'll be moving to another platform.I've been a premium member since July 2016. I've made my fair share of mistakes, but I've learned a great deal here. What I've achieved so far:I sold my first website for $3200 after it started making $200 per month.I started working on an abandoned website (I

At risk of losing access to the product advertising API (PAAPI)

Yeah, sometimes business doesn't work so well. That's what happened to me recently. After generating Amazon sales since May 2017, the Google August 2018 update killed my rankings, and I haven't made any EU store sales since Dec 1. (l wasn't doing anything fishy but still lost my rankings). I should add that sales are still coming in via Amazon US.I've now learned that it's not enough to have three qualifying sales on Amazon. More than one year after making sales, I got this message from Amazon

My First Amazon Check - Bummer!

This should have been a success post, but things didn't turn out that way, unfortunately. I just received my first Amazon check, but it turns out I can't cash it. My banking institution refuses to honor my check. It took me close to one hour to explain (in broken Arabic) that the check was from Amazon. "Amazon? We not know Amazon check here. No, no, no. Bank not accept, not accept. Sorry," the assistant tried to explain in English.I can't say they didn't try to help. After a couple of phone cal

Could You Be Losing Out on Commissions with the WordPress 4.7.4 Update?

The latest WordPress (WP) update is killing affiliate links, or so it seems. Wait a minute? Does this mean you could be losing money without knowing it? Possible...if you're setting up your blog posts such that external links open in a new tab, i.e., if those links are affiliate links.The Internet marketing world always trembles when a new update is rolled out. If it's not the great bear Google, it's something else. This time around, there has been a lot of talk going on about the latest WP upd

My Progress So Far

So, it has officially been a month since I joined the premium boat. I initially had a tough time selecting a niche; I chose two. I've dropped one of them and as for the other, I thought it was too broad and selected a subniche. But this was after I had done a lot of work and I'd bought two domains. I regret the long hours I spent building content, staying up all night long into the early morning hours. Yikes! I've just bought my 3rd domain and I'm pretty confident that I've made the right choic

Patience, Patience, You Shall Get There

Hi,This is my very first post after 2 years (originally written on July 6, 2016 and updated as shown above). Yes, 2 years. It took me 2 years to realise that I was missing out on something. I was away pursuing other goals: writing a book that isn't even selling very well, completing a course, taking care of baby number 2, and searching for a new job. So, yes, I was very busy. But one question that I asked myself at the end of these 2 years was "What have I achieved on the long-term?" I have obt
