I want to put a link in my post to promote wealthy affiliate.

First and foremost, I would add value each time you want to share your unique affiliate link vs. just dropping the link.

You also want to meet folks where they're at. So you're trying to connect vs inject.

If you share it on social media platforms, I would shorten it with pretty links before sharing, as some platforms don't like affiliate links shared raw as is.

However, what would be more feasible is to write a post, include your affiliate links, and share your post on social media platforms.

Alternatively, you could use plugins such as Grow Social (Hubbub Lite) or Social Rocket.

Plugins and add new, input keywords, install, and activate. I hope this helps.

All posts should Identify a problem, describe how you solved the problem, and extoll the virtues of the tools that you used.

So here is a quick example, humbly aided by ChatGPT.

Scenario: Turning a Financial Setback into an Online Opportunity with Wealthy Affiliate

Identify the Problem:
After years as a school crossing guard, budget cuts have left me without a job and unsure about my next steps. My immediate challenge? Finding a reliable income stream to fill the financial gap and ideally, one that can be flexible and done from home.

Solution:
I decided to explore online options and came across Wealthy Affiliate. With no prior experience in online marketing, I was skeptical but decided to give it a try. Wealthy Affiliate provided me with step-by-step training in affiliate marketing. I was able to pick a topic I cared about, set up a website, and start creating helpful content for an audience just like me.

The Virtues of Wealthy Affiliate:

Guided Training: Wealthy Affiliate's beginner-friendly courses made it easy for me to get started, from choosing a niche to understanding SEO basics.
Website Support: I had access to site-building tools and hosting, which meant I could focus on content without worrying about technical details.
Community Support: The Wealthy Affiliate community gave me a boost whenever I had questions, making the learning curve smoother.
Real Earnings: Within months, I started seeing a small income stream, giving me the confidence that this could be more than a stop-gap measure.
Now, I’m building a growing income, connecting with others, and no longer worrying about financial setbacks. Wealthy Affiliate has helped me transform a problem into a pathway toward a more secure future.

I did this to direct you to a post I created "How Do I Know Which Products to Sell?" Keep it authentic, keep it natural, and use WA to solve your problem. That is how you promote Wealthy Affiliate.

BTW - Did You Know that there are 25 Wealthy Affiliate Related Reviews created (and indexed on Google) every 24 hours?


I wrote a book on how to leverage your favorite bot. It is on Kindle.

48 so far. But no reviews yet.

how to setup a digital storefront website?

You have awesome responses here, kindly let us know if you require additional assistance.

As an affiliate marketer you may want to rethink how much of a digital store front website you wish to create.

The best way to get people to your website is to look for questions people have about your niche and create posts to answer them. People want detailed help about how to solve problems and find solutions.

A website with at least 60 % informational; posts grows your site so visitors will trust your content. By building trust in your "help" they will want to buy from you.

Focus on creating informational help for your niche first if you have not already done so.

Product reviews also bring traffic to your site. Reviews are very helpful because visitors like to know the "best" and the "comparisons".

Woo Commerce is a plugin that helps in building a storefront It takes a lot of time.

Are you sure that is what you want to do?

you could use woocommerce plugin and storefront theme...
but remember to ask yourself how you are going to attract visitors...
with jsut a store you will need ot go and get visitors - so maybe paying for traffic...
with a blog you are creating useful content that should rank for free in google and visitors will come for free...
it does take time, but is one of the best ways of growing an online business...

Thankyou

Can anyone tell me why a customer gets listed as a user on my website when they purchase an item for sale through my shop? Also, how to prevent this from happening.

Shir

What WordPress plugin are you using to perform the purchasing cycle? Probably WooCommerce?

Search on Google and ask how a customer gets listed as a user on your website. The plugin your are using should have something in their documentation and a fast way to find it is by doing a search.

Hi you need see where you can adjust in settings.. More like a subscriber vs a user ?
