Google announced that all Website must be secured (https), thus you need to active your SSL certificate. It’s included Free in your own domain . Here is a video to it. SSL: Activation, No Padlock, Mixed Content and Google Search Console
It is available with any premium membership. You do have to turn it on on individual websites though. Just go into the Site Manager, click on the details section and you will see where you can turn it on.
It is only available on domains you own not siterubix domains.

Hi, Frank.
Have a look at Marion's answer below.
Search Bar at the top.
"Hey, Frank, search for help here ..."
doesn't get any easier!
Paul
You can also put the general topic in your search bar up top and it will pull up different training ideas for that topic.
Look on the right hand of a persons page underneath their profile and see if the training is there.
Jerry
Click on a persons profile and at the bottom, you can find the training they have done, if they have done any. Also, when you start typing in the search bar on top here, it will list the training that has been done on the subject you are looking for. Wayne

During my searching and training today I came across somewhere that said Amazon could/would take away your affiliate links for not having any sales, does anyone know if this is
Yes it is indeed true. And if afer 6 months you do not have any sales they do terminate you. But here is the thing, you can immediately reapply and be back up. So no worries. The big thing is to give your link to people so that when they buy they are using your link and then you have no worries. You just have to do three sales every 6 months. Good luck.
Yes you have 180 days to make at least 3 sales. I was four months into my six affiliate agreement with Amazon and was panicking. Then I took on another site and between the two I made at least my required 3 sales within that 180 day period. I got my letter a couple of weeks ago from the Amazon Affiliate program saying I was "approved" after meeting all my requirements.
Hope that helps...
OR you could find different sources for the products besides Amazon. I bet you could find every other product available from another source with a higher commission rate, longer cookie periods and no minimum sales requirements. Now doesn't that sound a whole lot better?
Maybe I need to talk to you. I know you are well connected! I am fearful of joining a different network until I have some traffic. Currently, the only traffic I am getting is from comments I request. My site is not quite 3 months old yet.
Also, I feel like people just assume that everything will be sold on Amazon. How do consumers view other vendors besides Amazon?
I find that more people are interested in the product than the source. Last year our merchants sold close to $2 billion, and not one cent of that was spent on Amazon.
What is your niche? I can see what merchants might be available.
Yes, I will need to talk with you too. You helped me with Awin but to me the site is very complicated to learn. I am sure I just need some guidance.
Once you learn a few key things, you'll love it. Search on YouTube - we have a video called "Getting Started with Awin". I'd put in the link, but I'm not supposed to ;)
Yes, you have 180 days to make 3 sales. You can apply again if they reject you, been there, done that.
So when re-applying, do you get the same links or do you have to remove and upload all the products again?
I had to apply for a new ID code. This happened to me with Canada. I had just completed my 3 sales in Canada (I live in the US), and they were auditing my file. I happened to have an old website listed on my Amazon profile, one that I had not updated in 5 months. They rejected me because that site had not been recently updated. Even though the sales occurred on the current website I am actively working on, they kicked me out because my Canada ID was linked to that other site that was not updated. Talk about frustrating. Now I have to reset the clock and get 3 sales in 180 days again.
Yeah I am sorry
I am also so sorry skmorrow said 180 days I am sure that is right. Sorry I told you the wrong amount of days
Actually, I heard 90 for one sale, but either way, I wish I would have known this. I would have done everything else first, then became an Amazon affiliate.
Guess I just have to get moving then.
