WA Affiliate Program
Updated

Ok, basically when I started here at WA about 2 months ago, I was not sure what niche to pick so I jumped right into the affiliate BootCamp.

Everything had been going g

I would say get one completely set up first then while working the one that is running you can begin to add another to your schedule. You need to have the time to work both and that would be easier if the first one is completely set up first.

Work on one site and learn what to do !!!
I am over a year and still learning!!!

Every authority site that is on the internet today had to begin at some point. If you never start the site it will never grow.

I think it's important to be kind to yourself and give yourself slack in the beginning. You may not be an expert when you first start out, but that doesn't mean you can't become one.

It's not important where you are today. What's important is what you do today to be in a better place tomorrow.

Someone may come to your website because they like your unique perspective and how you explain things to them.

If you build another website that is going to split your efforts between two different websites. You have to take a look at your goals and your personal situation and decide if that's the route you want to take.

With the correct plan and setup everything will work.

I'm right where you are. I struggled for months with finding my niche because I'm passionate about many different things. It actually put me in a state of depression. My first niche isn't lucrative at all and isn't just competitive, it's "ultra-competitive". And I've been denied partnerships with the big competitors.

So, after the advice of many, I started a boot camp site and launched. However, I feel no passion at all towards that niche and all of my writing feels forced, unoriginal, and uninspired. I love WA and everything that it has to offer, and I have no problem sharing it with the world. But to spend all of my available time blogging about it doesn't feel right for me personally.

I also totally get how you feel about not being as experienced as the long time pros.

So, I've actually taken the past 2 weeks off completely to do some serious self-examination on what niche I should go into. My biggest problem is that I was ONLY focused on which one could make the most money, and not how I could truly offer the most value to people. I've heard time and time again, "focus on helping others and the money will follow naturally."

I've been reading lots of material to help me focus on my strengths and passions. I finally have my answer. I sat down this past Friday and drew up a mindmap brainstorm and it was huge. I started writing topic ideas down on a list and I have enough content for at least 2 years without even trying!

Sorry for boring you with my life story lol. Just wanted to let you know, you are not alone in your thoughts and feelings. Follow your passion and you will go far! Plus, you will have be able to speak with more authority on your boot camp site as you build out your niche site. That's my 2 cents anyway.

I did the same thing when I started here. I still work on my Bootcamp site but am enjoying my niche site much more. It is also much easier to write when you know more about the subject. I think you should go for it, keep following the lessons and never stop learning new things to help your site.

What you said has really helped me make my decision, I was curious if others have done the same thing as myself, and maybe rushed into things.

I'll just keep my WA site running, and post to it here and there but open my new niche website this week. Thanks!

Everything Wordpress

Ok, So I create new posts and everything is fine and dandy when writing it. But sometimes in certain areas of my post, when you look at it on my website it loo

Stop justifying the text. Flush left, ragged right is easier to read, it's the default format and you won't get those big gaps between words. Justified text looks even worse on mobile devices.

Thank you so much for this, but how do I stop justifying?

And yes I did notice my website looks horrible on mobile

If you're not doing it yourself then it's got to be your theme.
https://wordpress.org/support/theme/nisarg

If you can't find a way to change it in the theme's settings then you may need to choose a different theme.

Yea, because this is not something I'm doing intentional, and I have been using this theme for about a month and it does it on all my posts and pages.

maybe I'll experiment around and see if Its the theme.

I believe I found a fix to the problem, though, you have to manually Align all the text to the left.

This is because it starts off with no alignment, and it going left to right naturally just happens, but it's not properly aligned

If that makes sense?

Ok, I found a fix to my problem.

I downloaded a font changer plugin for my WordPress website and changed all my font to Arial, and was even able to make it a little bit bigger and more readable.

The Plugin is called TinyMCE Advance... It has over 1 million active downloads.

Hope this helps

Too many revisions. You are reverting. Clear your cache and optimize your database.

Thanks for that advice ADias, I will try that and see if it works.

Hi,
I use to have the same problem. I decided to copy all the text to a word page, delete all the text of the post and re-copy the correct text from the word to the post and it has gone well.

Please send me a link to your site

I am having a similar problem. My text is aligned perfectly in edit, but when I preview it or publish it, the text is all over the place, all out alignment. I have been looking for a way to solve this problem for months, I can not find any lesson to help with this. Can someone help with this?

Hey there,

I get charged about $73 a month but that's in New Zealand dollars, at the moment I pay about half as much again against the US dollar.

Hope you get it sorted...

Hey thanks for your input, I figured it out and its my Canadian Exchange rate vs the USD. Same kind of situation as yourself. Have a wonderful day!

Wow that's amazing that you're exchange rate is similar to ours when you live right next door to each other - oh well such is life.

Glad you got it sorted, cheers,

Authoring & Writing Content
Updated

Ok, so basically I want to create lots of review posts but sound authentic, seeing as I can set affiliate links to generate revenue. But the thing is, how can I give a thorough

Personally that has been a question I have asked. I think looking at reviews are good, if you don't have the money to use it. But don't present it like you have used it. Be honest and relate the fact of what your review of people who have tried the product have said. I know personally I do that before I buy the product and most people are honest.

If you have not tried the product yourself you can still review it, but what you say is important to be ethical. I have seen reviews that basically are bait and switch posts to promote Wealthy Affiliate.

The problem is they do not add an objective analysis of the product being reviewed, letting people know where they got their information from and why they did or did not recommend the product to readers.

I did a post about this awhile back, have a look to get some more insight on what I think is the right way to review products...If nothing else it will get you some new ideas or ways to consider putting together reviews (the comments are also useful)...

Here it is: Cheers!
