After spending a considerable amount of time trying to find a way to make money online I finally found Wealthy Affiliate in 2014.
https://takingaction.online
I spent a lot of time and money messing about with services that promised it would be easy and profitable. They all let me down in the end, or I just fizzled out because my real life job was taking over everything.
Any spare time I did have I spent online but it was never enough and whatever I tried it always came to nothing. Sometimes it was my fault, sometimes the product I was using was bogus.
Now, I am finally making money online! Finally! All thanks to Wealthy Affiliate.
If you want to connect then send me a PM. We can work together or exchange ideas. I am always available to help!
No selling or affiliate links. Just advice and a helping hand.
Cheers
Philip

Watched one of your videos, about traffic and how long it takes to develop. Great insight, gives me a better idea how long it takes. I recently was wondering when I should apply for affiliates, now I have a better idea. I need to focus on the lessons and writing content.
Go WA, or stay on the treadmill,

Hi Philip
In promoting an Amazon product is it essential that I write a review for that product, can I not just add affiliate link to web page?
And what if someone does not buy the product through that link but then purchases something else in that same session should I still be expecting to get the commission for that purchase??

Amazon has a 24 hour cookie. Anything purchased after they click your link is your commission. You do not need to write a review for every product. Just make sure that any product you place on your site is on a relevant page.

Can you look at my post http://furniture-to-enjoy.com/should-you-buy-cheap-furniture-online. You will see that all images are aligned to the left of page. That is not the intention. I position cursor in appropriate places and the images still end up there when I press preview button in Wordpress. Can you help please?

Hey! You will need to play around with the alignment inside WP. If you click on the image there will be a "Left, right and center" alignment option,.

Hello, dear mentor
Coming up with a niche seems harder and harder the more I think about it!
Do I have enough knowledge for this niche...
Does this really interest me, does even it have to interest me...
Is this niche too broad...
Is there too much competition in this nice...
Anyway, I came up with the idea to make an website about student budgeting. Basically it would have categories like food, workstation, decor, etc. So, basically a site about budgeting and getting products with best bang for the buck.
Of course somewhere on the side would be a big link saying "Tired of living on a budget?" that would take customers to WA ;D
Do you think this is doable and could work?

Hey! Not quite sure because it would still be quite broad as you would be reviewing so many different types of products.
Have you watched the videos in the training about this and Jay's webinar about choosing niches?

Yea I've watched them, but picking a niche seems to be a personally difficult task for me :D
But I think since I'm about to learn a lot about online business, then why not share that on my site.
So I'm just going to start in the online money making niche.
I want to market WA, but other products as well.
Should I go through the normal training or switch to the bootcamp?

The boot camp is for make money online niche and WA but I still recommend you do both so you understand the process.
The MMO niche is a hard one to break into. I would urge you to stick to one of the niches inside the personal developments niches. They will be easier, in my opinion, meditation, diets, mindfulness, etc.
Give me some ideas which you are struggling with and I can give you some idea on how to explore the niche.

Ah dang it, this is so hard :D
Ok, so, my own knowledge about personal development is pretty spread out. I feel like if I try to write about something specific only, I would run out of things to write in no time. The only thing I'm really naturally good at is personal development in its entirety.
That's why I find it really hard to narrow down.
I feel like if i write only about meditation then I would write a few articles instead of dozens.
What do you think about this article: https://obstacle.co/blog-niches/
He seems to think that you don't need to narrow it down, as long as you provide a solution to a specific problem in your articles?

You never run out of things to write about. At the beginning it does seem like that but trust me, the more you write the more you research, learn and delve into the niche. As your knowledge grows you will find the exact oppose, you are going to have too many article ideas.
If you don't narrow down the niche then you end up having to write twice as much content to make the same SEO impact.

Ok, am I even in the right direction:
-attitude
-creativity
-mindfulness
-happiness
-motivation
Even narrower?
-Wealth Thinking Techniques
-Stress Relieve/Stress Managements
-Time Management/Energy Management
Never thought niche hunting would prove to be this challenging, but I guess it can be, when you do it for the first time.

Hey, a new question!
Regarding niches, is personal developement really a "trap niche"? I personally don't see it as one.
My passion, besides money making, is personal developement. The term itself might sound a bit broad, but of course there's much under it to specialize in, for example meditation, diets, mindfulness, etc.
At this point this seems to me like the only subject that I can even imagine writing about. I actually write about this already to my personal notes.
I think it could work, but as always, your opinion is highly appreciated :)

100% narrow it down and focus on a narrow niche. You see results quicker that way.

Hey,
I was wondering..
when I build a website with WA, is the site always going to be behind WA subscription or can I manage it through other means? Noob question, I know.
Basically what my concern is, that if someday I don't want to continue my WA subscription, is my entire business going to end there? Bascially, when I build things inside WA, I'm completely locking myself inside it and there's no way out anymore since all my work is now under this platform?
For example in the coming months if I don't have enough money to pay that 49$ per month.. then my business building will just stop?

You can transfer your hosting elsewhere at any time. WA does not hold your content hostage.
But yes, if you stop paying the membership then you will lose your website - however this is the case for ANY hosting provider. If you don't pay then you lose your hosting.
The hosting at WA is the best around. The support is SUPERB and they usually respond and solve any issues within 30 minutes.
Should you ever wish to move your hosting or domains you can do so very easily.

You can back up your content at anytime. If you want to find out exactly what WA does with your content then email support. They will tell your their protocol.
But don't worry. Your content and hard work is safe with WA.

Hi Philip,
Thank you, thank you, thank you for your blog about how long it takes to get ranked on Google and actually see progress.
I'm not there yet (I still have to finish the training), but it gave me a renewed sense of urgency and desire to stay focused, be consistent, and stay the course so that I can see the results.
Can't say thank you enough!

Hey Phillip. I am almost at my 3 month mark. What I am having a hard time with is most of my posts are ranking very well. However, I am not getting very much traffic. I am following Bo training with the go getters and working on the social media aspect. However I know this is not working either right now I understand this part will take a little longer as well. Do you have any suggestions for this.

Hi Melissa,
Thanks for reaching out. I will give you some pointers. Your nice is awesome and your website is great! Good work!
Remove some affiliate links, there are way too many 'sharasale' links on the articles I looked at. You do not need to worry about those until traffic comes.
THat huge image you have with the frog, remove that because it takes up way too much space and was very slow to load for me.
If you check out some of my training. I have a few videos which may be of use to you. I ma making a few more today about this kinda thing.
Hope that helps.
Cheers

Hi skandy85,
Glad to hear that you have found success at making money through WA! How do you balance your time between working at your real job and creating content on your blog? I ask this because I still have challenges setting enough time to work WA into my schedule. Once again, I'm glad that you are making money--proves that WA is worth the time and hard work.

I think the easiest way is to do small amounts, but consistently.
So instead of stressing about writing x-amount of articles per week I just make sure I do 'a little something' everyday. That way at the end of the week I have achieved quite a lot.

I found if I set myself a target of " I am gonna write one full article today", if it didn't happen, I would get a bit frustrated and then suddenly 3 days had passes and I still had not finished the article.
By doing a little bit per day my output becomes much more consistant and I have plenty of time to research and do other thins which are also very important.
My "little something" per day just get more and more as I am able to organise myself much better...
Also helps to stay away from Facebook and YouTube! hahah! They are my achilles heels! So distracting!
