My about 2 years in WA
I remind that I published the post recently about my about 2 years membership in Wealthyaffiliate.com. I wrote that in about 2 years of my affiliate marketing I've not gotten any penny of commissions despite I put on sale thousands of products with my affiliate links, paid to advertising services and even, currently, paying to facebook.com. I asked for help from WA staff, members and got, to my surprise, very few answers (comments), but one distinguished from Kyle. Kyle asked me where am I leaving my affiliate links, web pages on your website are you driving all of your traffic to. He wrote we (it means not just him) will be more than happy to help me out. I sent him my data, more than 2 months I wait for the answer, would like him to get happiness with his answer, but still no answer. There is no doubts that my WA experience isn't good. I may assume that I'm only one unlucky WA affiliate, but I'm pretty sure it's not so.
I may report that one of my control purchases made on Macy's.com with my affiliate link got commission, but by another affiliate. The matter is, I asked my friend to make purchase. Previous my control purchases I made myself. and got commissions on them (t's not counted as my commisions, but as my spenditures). The Rakuten Marketing technical team is researching how come such transfer happened. I let you know about the results of research.
I wish to WA members to become, really, Wealthy Affiliates.

How you've been creating your site is not the way to do affiliate marketing. You need to go through the training again to learn keyword research and build content that actually help people and not just add a bunch of affiliate links on a page.
Are you using keywords? Are you blogging regularly? How many posts have you put on your 2 year website?
I have made over $19K in my second year with WA because I'm using keywords, and I'm writing tons of content.
If Kyle's too busy to help you, I can help you but it sounds like you need to go through the training again.
I second that.
Yan, can you imagine how many members are here at Wealthy Affiliate and how many message Kyle? He's just 1 person after all.
Besides Kyle, there are a lot of experienced members here who are willing to help if you ask them. Blog about it, ask a question, use the search bar...
BUT, as Grace said, you MUST GO through the training: Getting Rolling! There's no way around it. This OEC course is your foundation.
Working on websites is not easy but with proper education, time, patience and hard work, you'll get there. For me it took several months to see the results.
P.S. Read my WA friend's story, it'll give you some perspective: 3 Years At Wealthy Affiliate Grace also has a LOT of success posts and her entire journey to making money with her website(s).
@littlemama Hi, Littlemama. Of course, I understand that Kyle is very busy. But he must keep his word. He was not so busy to answer me and suggest help. He might say, at least, to wait for his help because he's busy. And nothing at all, sorry...
I'm glad to find out about your successful affiliate marketing. I know you're busy too as I'm with writing content and making research. So, it's very nice of you to propose help to me, thanks. I have 3 posts, one of them is more active. Also, I have facebook page. It'd be nice of you to take a look at them. I'd like to take a look at yours and leave comments. Thanks.
Hi, Zarina. Of course, I understand that Kyle is very busy. But he must keep his word. He was not so busy to answer me and suggest help. He might say, at least, to wait for his help because he's busy. And nothing at all, sorry... Thanks for your answer.
If you only have three posts in 2 years, you need to go through the training again.
I have over 500 posts in 2 years, just so you can see how this works.
So there’s really no need to look at what you have since you don’t have much. You need a lot more posts than that to make this work.
Please go through the training again.
Littlemama,what do you mean you have 500 posts? I expain my question: I have 3 sites, each of them have post and pages. So i have 3 posts and about 20 pages. I change content of my posts and pages every day, especially on the beginning of the week when sales prices change. So, did you change 500 times content of your posts or you publish new 500 posts in 2 years?
You really don’t understand how to build this business because of the questions you’re asking, it’s best you go through the training again.
500 new posts on one website.
What I, really, understand is that you get stock on one: "go thru training again". You do not answer my questions at all,. You "generously" propose your help only if I "go thru training again". Is it a show how WA members help each other?
She can't help you because you don't have the foundation (which is the link to the training I told you to go through too).
When you wrote your reply, you got me confused too, what do you mean you change your content/page/post every day?
What @littlemama does is create NEW posts on her website almost on a daily basis.
And because she has so many new articles on her website, she has a LOT of traffic (visitors) to her website and managed to earn close to $5,000/month in just a few months when she started.
She puts in a lot of work and doesn't try to deviate from what has been taught here. Clearly, you are doing something different based on your post and comments...
Please don't get rude and accuse her of not being a help, Yan.
We are all here to help but first...
You DO need to go through the training, because the way you speak about your business shows both me and Grace that you're doing something different from what has been told here.
There's just no way around it.
Go.Through.The.Training.
We can help but we can't do the work for you.
Zarina, what do you mean saying that I'm getting rude? Where do you see my rudeness? Littlemama didn't answer any my single question. She just said I need to go thru training again instead of answering a simple question: Does she makes 500 new posts in 2 years with new keywords on the same site or keep the same keywords? Is it hard to answer such simple question? Do I need to go thru training again to get her answer? Does it mean you do work for me?
I DID answer your question, I said "500 new posts on one website."
You have 3 sites and only 20 posts in two years. So it tells me that you don't understand how to build this online business, that's why you need to go through the training.
Yes, every single post I write has a brand new keyword. You would know this if you went through the training.
You'll never get traffic to your sites with only 20 posts in 2 years.
Good luck to you, if you're not going to listen to our advice, then it's very hard to help you.
Grace
Well, you really do need to go the training that's the point, Yan.
Because from your replies you were doing something that you THINK might work but not what's being taught here. A lot of newbies including myself made the same mistake... Better stick to what's being taught here, and then you'll see results.
Seems like you haven't been following Grace posts, so I will answer it for her: she created NEW posts with new keywords, basically publishing almost every day.
For what it's worth:
Check her profile and her progress since the beginning of 2018. It's all documented.
Hope this answers your questions.
I get more curious. You say, you created 500 new posts in 2 years on the same website. And Zarina answers on your behalf that new posts have different keywords. As I know, website's keyword and meta tag must be synchronized with website posts and pages keywords. Must they? Does your published new 500 posts keywords are synchronized with your website keyword? In case that they're synchronized how is it possible to make 500 new keywords of new posts synchronized with single website keyword? It's the question you didn't answer. Do you? Appreciate in advance your in details answer. Thanks.
I have no idea what you're talking about "synchronized" that word is not even in the training. I really can't spend anymore time explaining the same things to you. I have TONS of members to help. I hope this last explanation will do it:
Before I write any post, I do keyword research.
I find the keyword that has the criteria I want per training.
Then I use that keyword to write about it and each of my posts are between 1200 - 2000 words.
Of course each keyword has something to do with my niche.
There is no "website keyword" not sure why you have that or what that is.
By the end of 2 years, I have 525 posts on my website and I continue to write on it every Monday to Friday.
I have over 45,000 users coming to my site every month.
This is HOW you build a successful website.
Whatever you're asking is not correct, you need to learn about keywords and how to use them again from THE TRAINING.
'Synchronized' means your website title, your 500 posts, pages keywords should "to do something with website niche". But my original post wasn't about keywords. You began saying that I need to go thru training again and that I'd go thru training again without any knowledge about my websites and thar Kyle is very busy and therefore can't help me. It's nice of you to protect Kyle, but I may assume you didn't read my post up to the end. I ask for help about protection of my site from hijacking. There isn't probability that from thousands of products I put on sale with my affiliate links no one get commission. At least one was sold for sure. I may tell you that your answers're foggy. You didn't answer clearly any my question. Anyway, thanks and good luck.
Sorry Yan. Little Mamma is a wonderful person. She has tried real hard here to answer your questions. It's obvious that you don't fully understand the process. Like you have been told, you need to do the training again... real slowly... Jim
It's would be nice of you to tell me in details why I need to go slowly thru training again? In details, please. Might be I, really, need to, but tell me why do you made such conclusion. And I do not see any hard try of littlemama to answer my question except protection of Mr. Kyle that doesn't keep his word and bunch of proposals to go slowly thru training again. By the way, have you taken look at my websites?
