It really is a great place to be!

I'm so sorry about this. Kyle assured me he was taking care of this. Are you sure your billing was done incorrectly? I wonder if you may have thought you purchased the annual premium membership, but it only processed another month's payment. I'm not sure exactly what your issue was...maybe check your credit card statements to see what was actually paid to WA? I'm sorry I couldn't help more with this. :(

Hi Johnson,
I'm thinking perhaps it didn't process correctly or completely when you did the upgrade to the annual membership. You could click on Help Center on the left of your screen and email support with the question. But first, go to the upgrade page and see if you're shown as a monthly Premium Member or an Annual Premium Member. Here's the page:
https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/upgrade

It should show you on that page what your current status is...monthly or annual. Let me know..I'll try to help further if I can. Debra

Hi Debra,
Thank you for your professional response as always. I have looked on the upgrade link you sent but it does not state what plan I am on. However, it's asking me to pay $343 dollars and I am wondering how this has accrued.
I would be grateful for any assistance which will rectify the situation as I am of the belief that I opened the account paying up front for the yearly plan and benefiting from the discounts.

Thank you for your help in advance.

Regards

Johnson

Please email Support, as I don't know what else to advise. In the meantime, I have sent a Private Message to Kyle asking him to help with this. Don't get discouraged...we'll get this worked out.

Hi Johnson,
Just letting you know I was able to make contact. Carson will be contacting us asap to let us know what's happening. Keep me posted as you hear anything, as will I. Debra

Was this issue resolved?

Hi debra,
Hope you are well.
I have written to Kyle and copied you in but no news from Carson.
Hopefully, it will get resolved soon.
Thanks for your continued support.

Regards

Johnson

Kyle responded to my email and said he'll address this. So hopefully you'll hear something this week. Keep me posted, please.

Hi Debra,
You are staR Debra.
I am wondering whether to just downgrade whilst I am waiting rather than paying the high amount!
Do you think it will affect my site if I did this?
Considering there is no activity on the account and I have not had any success with my affiliate links, I have nothing to loose at this stage.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I don't think you should let the Premium Membership lapse. If I were you, I'd pay the $49 to keep it intact. I believe WA will reimburse it/make it right if you did pay the annual membership already.

Hi Debra,
I will take your advice and continue till they get it sorted out.
Thanks once again.
Whilst I am here, can I ask why I have had no clicks on my affiliate link although it's a couple of months since its been setup?
Any help would be appreciated.

I know how frustrating that is. I emailed everyone who would listen for the first several months I was in WA because I was working so hard and not getting any results. But I'm here to give it to you straight - it can take up to 3 to 6 months for Google to take your website seriously and rank you so people will see your site when they search online. You have to build up a presence online, a social media presence, etc. I know it's frustrating, but sales will come. And they're super exciting when they happen. Just one small sale does wonders to keep you going...just hang tough, Johnson. Your efforts will pay off. :)

Thank you for the encouragement Debra.
My concern is whether I am doing all the things right to get visitor engagement. I feel I may have overlooked on have not understood some key things like google analytics and google search console which I am thinking are key components to drive a website.
I know you have always been there with support and now I will read up on all the communication from you and hopefully find the missing thread.

Regards

Johnson

There are many things you can do to drive traffic to your website, things like google search console, etc. But I have to say the best (best best best) way is to just keep adding quality content to your site. "If you build it, they will come." :)

Hi Johnson, I'm glad you contacted me. Never hesitate to send me a message whenever you have questions or problems.

Would you mind emailing Kyle to let him know that you're having difficulties because his videos are outdated? Lots of people are telling me this so I think Kyle needs to know that this is a problem for a lot of people who are new and going through the training. I think if it comes from a new person like you, maybe he'll pay more attention and get the trainings updated!

I use a free plugin called Simple Social Share to put social media buttons on my websites. It's pretty easy to use - you get to pick where you want the buttons to appear on the page, etc. Try that and let me know how it works out. Another tip - one of the ways to get people to engage is to end your posts with a request for that...you could say something like, "please comment below if you have questions..or please comment and let me know this or that...if you have an idea to share..." Asking people for feedback is a great way to get them to engage.

No, you don't need woocommerce. I just sign up as an affiliate for whatever company or product I want to promote and use the affiliate links they give me in my pages, posts and social media posts.

It's been so long now, so I don't remember the details...but I do remember having a lot of troubles getting approved by Google Adsense. So it's probably not just you! Can you give me more specifics about what's going on with that?

I'm sending this email, then I'm going to go to your profile page to see if you have your website listed there. If you don't, then I need you to give me your website address so I can check it out.

Continue reaching out to me...and don't forget you can also put your questions in the grey "Need help?" box at the top of your dashboard...you can not only my replies to your questions, but replies from others, some of whom have even more experience than me. We all help newbies here...ask away!

Debra

Wow, I have no idea what to do about this. I have to suggest you put this question out to the community and see if others can help you with this. Try not to be discouraged - I had lots of crazy stuff happen in the beginning. Eventually this will run smoothy, I promise. :)

That's both exhilarating and nerve-wracking, right? LOL Do all the training classes, take your time, and always reach out to me and the community if you have questions or need help. :)

I will reach out to you when I need help - but the training is quite thorough. thank you
Paula

Creating websites is really fun...I love it!

I'm sorry, I'm not sure what you mean. Can you be more specific?

Color Me Beautiful is a great name for a website about hair colors. You're going to have so much with with this! Debra

You are wrong. But your attitude says it all.

By the way, people are following you because we are a community who welcomes newcomers. We all support each other here.

Thank you for letting me know about this

I haven't updated my profile. I've been in WA about a year now. But unfortunately I'm not making any money. Made less than $200 so far. :(

Thanks so much Robert.

no probs and remember the time difference if/when you get in touch with me.
Robert

Hi again Debra it’s a good idea (only if you want to) to click the 'Like' icon within a comment if you like it as I have done with yours.
Obviously you don't have to click every single comment or you will be here all day doing nothing but.
But to click the ones you like that are replies to your own comments will be reflected in your WA ranking because it shows you are getting involved with the community.
Enjoy your day.
Robert

Hi Kyle, Haven't been able to get back to the bootcamp training because I'm still trying hard to get my niche site, www.peoplelovinganimals.com to make any money. Started back in August and only one sale - super frustrated. :( Debra

What aspect of your website are you having difficulty with? Where do you feel the most stuck? Are you targeting keywords with every page/post?

Let me know Debra. :)

I'm happy with the website - I have excellent content, pictures, videos. I have many pages and tons of posts. I do use targeted keywords for every post. I also put each post on facebook, pinterest, google plus and twitter. Google analytics shows traffic - 2821 total visits as of yesterday. But only one sale so far. :(

Thank you!

Any time Debra, chat soon!

Thank you so much!
