Hi,

I tried to pin my wealthy affiliate link that is on my profile page and it is blocked stating that it could be spam. Do you happen to know how I can fix that?

I don't put direct affiliate links to Wealthy Affiliate on Pinterest. All my pins link back to a post on my website.

Give value on your post; if a visitor likes your blog post and they want to follow through on your call to action (CTA), then they will click on your link to WA; this is perfectly OK with Pinterest (and other social media).

Got it, Thank you for your help :)

you never add a link to an offer on any social media site. The training here is massively outdated. What you need to do is Use the link to your wealthy affiliate review. Or send a link to your website

Oh, I see! I was following the video posted by Kyle on creating a pin with the affiliate link we are provided.

Pinterest has changed the rules since then.

It is safer never to use your affiliate link directly. Link back to your website and give value. Social media sites will like you then. 😊

WA Affiliate Program
Updated

Hi friends,
Just curious if anyone has joined the Etsy affiliate program? It's prompting me to pay $5. I know in the training it suggests to stay away from programs that

I have dabbled in affiliate marketing last year, and i got hooked into paying fees to etsy, and a few others.
I have not signed up for any through WA. so I am not sure, but if they do charge I would not do it.

I've just checked right through Etsy's site and also Awin's (they run Etsy's affiliate program) and I couldn't find any reference to a fee.

At what point of time were you asked to pay and what is it supposed to be for?

After filling out your information to join, right at the very end they ask!

That would be sufficiently sneaky to put me off, but you should wait to see if someone with actual Etsy experience gets back to you. Good luck with it.

Thanks for your advice!

I have not but I am anxious to see if anyone else here has!

Yes! Me too :)

Hi all,

I am at level 3 of the training so I may be asking this too soon. However, someone mention I should include an affiliate disclosure on my site.

I notic

Hey all, Do you happen to know what part of the training the affiliate disclosure is covered in?

I haven't gotten to that part, and I have affiliate links within some of my content now. I'm worried I missed something!

hey hi Amber & welcome to Wealthy Affiliate Premium!

It's all good -- all questions are good ones ....

here's a post that will help guide you to adding the disclosure by Loes -- she's an awesome WA member ....

hope you'll find it helpful ... all the best, cheerio ... ⭐️🎈

Thank you so much! I appreciate this :)

Thank you :)

you're most welcome -- glad to be of help -- enjoy the amazing WA journey to success! .... cheerio ... ⭐️🎈

Thank you all for your help. And Thanks so much @phil1944 for the examples :)

Yes you should and it will be covered in the training. I also have a line in every post toward the beginning that says this post may contain affiliate links...

The rules governing this have become much more strict, with everyone weighing in. Not just the official bodies, but also the individual merchants.

The short answer is you need both. A generic page with a menu linking to it and also specifics near the actual affiliate link.

Have a look at one of my sites
Specific: https://agingslowdown.com/the-best-anti-aging-skin-care-products/
Generic: https://agingslowdown.com/affiliate-disclaimer/ (reached from the footer menu.

Yes, you should definitely have one. I like most people create an affiliate disclosure page then link to it in the footer at the bottom of our site. This will be covered in the training as well. Hope this helps!

Authoring & Writing Content
Updated

Hi, When writing our content, is it ok to add links to other websites as an example of what you are talking about? For example, if I write about party games and link to anothe

Absolutely, it is of high importance for SEO purposes, and you should have at least one external link in all your posts.

That's good to know! Thank you :)

I use links to outside sites but I try to keep them towards the end of my post so that they do not leave and not come back

Thank you! That's great advice!

Yes, it is allowed. I would have it open in another tab so that your website is still open.

The one question I have for you is how are you going to get them back to your site?

Dave

That's a good point! I didn't notice the option to open in a new tab, thanks!!

And yes, getting them back is definitely something I need to think more about.

Yes of course.

It's a standard, common practice. Those links are called outbound or outgoing links.

However, you'll want to use them carefully as they will take your readers away from your site ...

Thank you so much! I used a link to Martha Stewarts site and I got a little nervous about the laws of the internet! I didn't want to make the assumption that it's ok for just anyone to do this.

Yes, I will have to be more aware of that fact that this can draw the reader away. I'll try and stick to putting them toward the end moving forward.
