Hi team,
Since about August last year, I've been experimenting heavily with content and rankings. Today, the results on my Amazon links alone are around 100 clicks per d
Hey Jesse,
That would be anything above average. See screen print below...
The luxury of Amazon affiliate links is that if you are accepted by ALL Amazon's from all countries (or most), when someone clicks on your link and before the cookie expires, they decide to buy something more expensive... or more than what you directed them to the Amazon site for, then YOU get the credit for the entire sale.
So... like the featured snippet below states... drive more traffic... in this case... to your posts with Amazon links.
Personally... my Amazon links are not doing that great. The Canadian Amazon (my own country) kicked me off within the first 30 days, and France has kicked me off since.
Because my site attracts mostly American (even when my one site was hosted out of Toronto, Ontario, Canada) viewers, I'm more likely to gain an advantage with the dot com version of Amazon.
So far... not so good. :-D
Hope you find this helpful.
Thanks! The various Amazon global sites can be a headache, but I am able to earn from the main Western countries (also primarily US-based).
Also yeah, I'm getting way less than 0.5% conversion rate. Anyone here had success in increasing conversions to 0.5% or above?
Only those who have no time to be on here helping others oh this platform, Jesse, as I do know that many WA members have great success with Amazon... which is why I've left mine in place... for now.
Websites need traffic to succeed, and with Google's last smack... well, my traffic on 3 sites have suffered a LOT.
Some of it I do believe is because I am Canadian, and well... Bill C-11 will explain better than I can... and I believe Google has now marked all Canadian owned blogs in preparation should that bill be passed. I pray that it will not... time will tell.

What's a good affiliate conversion rate?
Hi team,

Great response from Trish here :) Kindly let us know if you require additional assistance.
I definitely do. I'm hoping someone has any insights on increasing conversion rates up to that 0.5% rate
Awesome, Thank you! This is more about increasing CTR though. My traffic on Amazon links are good, I need to get people to buy something while they are there.
Back to Google, I guess!
I would forward Tim or Vitaliy a message asking how they are going with their content posts and what else you have not done to increase conversions.
That's a great idea!
I've found a couple of suggestions on the wider web today which I can also try out. If I get good. results, I'll come back here to share what I find

I needed two new logos, so I headed to Fiverr for the first time in a couple of years, and I've been really disappoin
Hi, upwork and 99 designs
However, you can use an app called canva.com - It's very practical for all your business needs. Give it a try, you might like it.
I've been using canva for about 3 years, more looking for designers than image editing software.
99 designs is beyond the price point I'm willing to meet for these two logos, what kind of prices have you seen on UpWorks?
Upwork is likely to be in between 99 designs and fiverr -- really depends on the complexity of the logo required and how many hours need put to develop it.
You can always post a project on Upwork, and get bids. Then decide from there. On upwork, your money is reserved in a pot until you've received the work and totally satisfied with it.

Ha, just revisited this. Did you know, since asking I now know the founder of 99 designs? Total accident. I ended up getting his help in finding an account manager in my area, without realising I'd blundered my way to the top level of their management.
Hey Jesse,
What I have used recently myself is: https://www.freelogodesign.org/ especially after experiencing the same issue with Fiverr that you have now.
This site provided me with options and I was able to make my own logo that looks pretty decent, if I do say so myself. LOL.
Hope you find this helpful.
Oh my goodness. It actually looks like this might be what some of the "designers" on Fiverr are using!
I use Canva and the other one HD Movie Maker-Pro.
Both actually I am new and still learning. Even in Fiverr. Yes, they are expensive if you don't know how to deal with them. Try their 30 days free trials. Then if you don't like it then get out and find those that are free. Good luck in finding the right one for you. Photo Shop also good.

Hi all,
I'll be travelling to the Philippines to do some staff training, and then heading to a really remote part of Luzon. They have cell phone reception but don't have
You can buy a pocket Wi-Fi, either Globe or Smart, and just load it up with credit each day to access the internet. Load can be bought from most Sari Sari stores.
Whether you'll be able to connect to a network in a remote village is anyone's guess in the Philippines. You might get a signal or you might not.
If the village has phone reception, then you could be in luck.

Just wondering if my editor and future writers can use Site Content for their posts on my WA hosted sites. The duplicate content and a few other features are really valuable!</
Hey Jesse,
Access to SiteContent is through your membership. So, outside of letting your writers use your WA membership login, there is no other means of their reaching YOUR access to SiteContent.
However, they could become Starter members and then be able to use their own access to SiteContent.
Personally, I would be checking any articles for duplication before submitting payment.. or at least confirming my satisfaction.
Hope you find this helpful.
Yes, that's the current workaround I'm toying with, but then I have to check and upload everything myself, which defeats the purpose of hiring someone else to do it (i.e. saving me time so I can work on revenue streams)
Maybe I can try having a non-indexed site with their details, check for duplicates, then ave them post the same content directly into WP. Might need to raise their salary offering...
There are other tools available online that you can use in checking that a post is not duplicated elsewhere... and your paid-for writers SHOULD automatically be checking this as part of their services.
Then all you need to do is provide them with your WordPress login details.
What I would do Jesse, is Google search and not use only one tool so that my testing would be more likely to be a bit more accurate. See first screen print below...
You could outsource this step too. Check out the training and blog tips shared here on outsourcing. See second screen print below...
I'm really interested to see if this is a possibility as well. The access to image libraries as well as the spell/grammar/sentence checker are excellent features that would be helpful for others to have access to.

Hi WA team,
I'm currently sitting on a team of 3 people - myself doing sales and accounts for advertising on my website, my business partner doing the backend web tasks a
Jerry did some training not long ago about hiring writers, I imagine it could be adapted for sales or admin staff etc. Might be worth a look for you: Hiring Writer Like a PRO Even If You've Never Hired Before I'm still a one woman band so it'll just be me doing everything in 2019 LOL.
Thanks Heidi!
Hiring a writer is a little easier for me because (A) it's very easy to just pay on completion, and (B) my company already had a writer when I took over.
The sales staff is much tougher, because B2B sales takes time before results can be seen, and it's hard to know if your salesperson is actually working or not.
Still an excellent resource to be able to pull out!
