Tried to set up email keeps asking for a domain name to create the email but my site rubix site doesnt appear in the domain name window. Anyone help please?

You can set up a domain-specific email address when you actually own a domain. Methinks it's time to buy a domain name, Robert.

Hi Marion. Thanks for your comments.
I am working within the site rubix platform so I can get my new site content finalised. I have then published it, but I find if I want to edit in site content, it is not updating in the published version.
Am I missing something. Also my new website doesn't appear in any of the drop down boxes associated with the likes of copy images, email address, etc.

Site Content is only for your initial draft, Robert. All edits after publishing have to be done within your website itself. I don't use Site Content at all as I can't see any benefits to using it.

If you're experiencing any technical problems then contact Site Support. They usually respond within minutes.

Thanks Marion. I think I will do the same. The only advantage I could see with Site Content was with the templates, but I guess they are fairly easy to duplicate in the website.

For my domain name

If you've purchased your domain name here at WA, domain privacy is included in the price.

If you've purchased the domain name elsewhere, I'd recommend putting domain privacy in place. The cost ranges from under $3 per year (namecheap) to around $10 per year (bluehost).

It's certainly worth it to me to keep my home address and personal phone number from being exposed to anyone on the planet for whatever purposes they choose to use them.

Thanks for your comments Bob. Yeah for the little cost its probably worth it.

It's not required, but I always recommend it. If you don't get some sort of whois protection your name, address, and phone number will be available in the ICANN whois database. All any one would have to do is lookup your domain in the database and they would have your contact information.

Over the years there have been unscrupulous people/companies that have called people that were promoting Wealthy Affiliate on their websites and pretended to be from Wealthy Affiliate. They then tried to sell people expensive training packages.

I always pay a few dollars each year to avoid all of that nonsense.

Thanks for the comments. You are right, for the small cost it is probably worth it.

You can ask the friendly folks in support.

Recently there have been blogs suggesting we should not advise potential users that is is possible to earn money from within WA without it costing a cent.

I think that you're giving people false expectations. Have you earned money online without costing you a cent?

Thanks for your comments Marion. I havent earned anything on line. Im a total newbie hence the question. I know it is unlikey but is my blog comment incorret? If so I will rephrase it. Robert.

I can't say that it's impossible to make money online without investing money as well as time but it's much too difficult. If you don't have any facts to back up that statement then I would change the wording. All you're doing is encouraging freebie seekers not genuine buyers.

don't quote me as I'm new here but I though I read somewhere you can earn while being free BUT its a lot harder, not impossible, but definitely harder as there is less training and resources to help.

Thanks for your comments Nicky. So its not an untruth but most unlikey. I think I will rephrase the comment in my blog anyway. Robert.
