Hi there, I have been working on my website:

Goodnightmybaby.com

since November 2017 when I first started it. Since then I have made about 80 articles and with all

I understand how you feel. You definitely can extend your site from different angles. Add other related articles to it. Sleepless mother is a perfect one. I see that Stella gave you some good ideas.

My site is called "Baking Naturally" and for the longest time I thought I couldn't include anything that wasn't baked. Haha! Oh, that went out the window long ago. I still focus on that, but I have all sorts of other recipes, too. No one will judge you for expanding your focus - it only makes sense. I would NOT start a new site - just add to the one you have and keep on goin'.

Rather than "shift over", why not just let your baby sleep site sit & earn as it is & start a new one alongside it?

That way you're not losing your work, you've still got a little income from it (which may grow) and you've still got the opportunity to go back & add content if anything springs to mind.

You can always change or just add a new one but know that you will be starting from scratch. Well not really because you have learned so much you will move faster this time. I have several niches but I concentrate on my Bootcamp niche and use the others as slow-growing blogs.

Hi - I just bought this site right here

https://greattimedeals.com

You have a fair bit of experience so I won't insult you by saying do the training.

However I would recommend that you rework bootcamp and concentrate on putting each task into this new website, reviewing other ebooks on clickbank and Amazon and build it using SEO as per the training.

Just my thoughts as this is how I would tackle the task. As it only has 4 posts it still needs a lot of posts to make it authoritative.

Sophia,

Since you purchased the site I would say you can change
it to benefit how you would like it to be.
The website URL is a good one I must say for promoting
various things - great time deals - could be from making
money online to travel destinations.
For the posts that are already on there, you did not give
topics so even if they are unrelated you could break
these into different categories for the website.

Just my thoughts,
Susan

What kind of blogs should I do for this site?

Eventually I will stop being a Wealthy Affiliate member, just because I will have finished both trainings and learned all that I can.... I want to say that when I leave here I



Simply asking if I could have my own domain email somewhere else - a free site that offers such maybe? *yoo hoo* does anyone happen to knowwww?

Someone has to know something that makes this easier - rather than having to be obligated to pay membership JUST to to keep my email.

I have been a member here almost two years and my site barely earns $60 a month.

I mean, can someone give me a more serious / thoughtful answer other than this " its Wealthy Affiliate or BUST" mentality.

You cannot spend your entire digital career being hosted here for god sakes so lets keep it real.

but you are going to have to pay for hosting - no one will host the website youare building for free - so think of here bein paying for hosting!
but $60 covers the cost of your hosting - if you go to bluehost then you wil lsave a little but not much.
if your site gets over 500k visitors a month then you wil lneed to move - but it wil probably be to a dedicated server and that will cost, hopefully you wil lbe earning a little more then.
but i now look at this platform as hosting for 299/12 and the rest for free - is this trying to convince - no.
but you will not get hosting for free for a domain and an email thrown in for free.

You can go wherever you want....If you plan to move your site, make sure they offer WordPress. You're not obligated to be here.

My response was to your reference to learning all that you can. If you think you've learned enough, by all means, move on if you find greener hosting fields for less money. I just don't see that being the case. Have you compared hosting services? Did you find one that offers WP based hosting, that's reliable and well reviewed for less money?

Are you monthly now? That is a bit pricey at $49 a month for many...have you considered the 6 month or annual plan? They offer considerable savings over the monthly....

In the end, the choice is yours.

At this point in time - my site is only earning about 40 to 70 per month, this isn’t after being here almost two years.

My traffic is about 5k a month and earning pennies from Adsense. But check this out - the Ezoic publishing’s network wanted to work with me, and put ads on my site for a considerable amount of revenue for my little 5k traffic - HOWEVER after attempting to intergrate it on my site they discovered that the “Ezoic technology is not compatible with Wealthy Affiliates hosting unfortunately ” they attempted several times to work with our host to solve the issue for why they weren’t able to properly display ads on my site but weren’t able to solve it. So they let me go! They apologized for not being able to work things out on the tech side with my WA hosting, and they wished me the very best.

*THAT* was money left on the table because Wealthy Affiliates technology here wasn’t not compatible with the Ezoic ad network*

Until I can get up to 25,000 views a month and qualify for AdThrive ( or was it MediaVine? One of the two?) I’m stuck with Adsense - Ezoic was the only other ad network I had a chance to make money with

Go figure

So, not only am I not making a considerable amount of money each month after being here for a considerable amount of time but the only other ad network that has A higher potential for revenue ultimately is not able to sync with the wealthy affiliate hosting technology whatever that is and I’m losing money now , on top of paying monthly fees I can’t afford to pay a six-month payment unfortunately I’m not in that place in my life as a single mom to do so. I’ve given this my best shot here learning all the material I can but when I have to pay a monthly payment for something I’m really not utilizing other than to ask questions like this ( and given answers like yours ) it’s just not worth it.

Did Ezoic tell you which platforms they work well with? Check them out and see what their hosting prices are. That said, you're not guaranteed any better results with their ad network so it's still a gamble.

In the end, do what you feel is best for your business.

Once your training is "over", you don't have to leave. In fact, training is never really over. New courses are produced all the time. Ways of doing things change and new tools are introduced.

That said, if you do move, you'll need to transfer your site, domain, setup new email accounts and either export/import your messages or download them to your computer, etc. How you do these things depends on who you move to.

in theory you will get hosting which includes all of the benefits of hosting here.
if you are paying the bf deal price - you may need to look hard - unless you have outgrown the limits of your wa membership.
don't forget to include security and spam filtering.
check out the promo page on hosting
https://wealthyaffiliate.com/hosting
and under your sitemanager- click on the details button and scroll down
don't be fooled by the low intro pricing - look at the full renewal pricing.
you maybe suprised.

When I go to Instagram I see alot of these other mommy bloggers but they are more like "Lifestyle" bloggers with no real direct niche, except things like "Travel" "Motherhood"

The key for some of the mommy bloggers is to build a presence on social media, so Thier web presence will be lite.

Lifestyle niche can be a broad one, So to live a lifestyle you need funds and or resources on one end you could promote WA and the other end it could be health and wellness.

And everything in between.

You could basically use the training that we already have in place.

The difference in what others are doing and what we are being taught here on WA ... We are shown how to build good solid content and build a base of traffic that will only increase your revenue.

Building a following on any social media platform is fairly easy but getting targeted traffic to visit your site is more difficult short term you still have to work hard and of course as with Google Plus these sites may just stop and if you have no solid base eg Search engine traffic your business could disappear over night.

Trust this helps explains what WA is doing.

Thats the difference between blog and post. We are trained here to build traffic with niches that help people and not just give info. However, IG is more visual similar to Pinterest and can get you followers easily, I am learning to use IG but I have over 10k followers in Pinterest within just a few weeks pinning my posts...

How do lifestyle blogs work ? how do they monetize ?
