If you are adding an affiliate link into your blog post and you want to make it a pretty link, will it still be tracked as your affiliate link? I want to make sure I get paid a

As Jon and Martin have said below, and I'll confirm it

Yes Todd it works and makes ugly pretty!

Hi Todd, As the others have said yes you can use pretty link with WA links. In fact you can use it with most affiliate links. Pretty link helps tidy up your affiliate links and make them more clickable to the eye.

I have been using Pretty link lite for years now without any issues.

Martin

yes it will still work. I am using pretty link myself and it works fine.

Greetings to you
if you want to get the link
and amazon you are paid by the click that visitors make to your website

Yes Todd.

Basically, you'll make the link prettier and more user friendly, but the plugin uses a redirection, so the reader will access the same link that carries your affiliate ID.

If you use pretty link in wp for affiliate link does it wrk?

Authoring & Writing Content

What schedule, routine, habits etc are you finding helpful to assist you in living a married life with kids and a fulltime job plus trying to set up your business? I often time

I totally get the lack of time, can we add another 24 hours to a day lol.
I am a single mom with three dogs and a full time job.
I work on things as much as possible, I see members that started after me getting further with their sites, and within the community. Sometimes I feel like I am not doing enough when I see these situations, but then I remember, we are all on our own timeliness, with individual goals as well.
Hopefully you were able to pay Premium for the year versus monthly, not only is it a money saver, but it also gives you more room to learn at any pace and make progress.
Thank goodness we are not amongst a judgy group of friends 😆.

No, I have to do month by month pay here in WA. I not only don't any extra time, but I also don't have any extra cash.

I don't have as much going on as you do but I schedule learning & social as its own time block separate from writing. Research is separate too. If I try to lump everything together as WA time or whatever, i spend too mich time consuming content and not enough writing.

Then for writing time on my WA niche site or paid work, I use the Write or Die webapp. First 25 minute pomodoro block, I write intro, conclusion, and an outline in between. I might do a little bit of middle if I have time. Then next time block, I write the rest. I can do 800-1000 words of first draft in an hour that way (though part is my typing speed) and then use one more time block for editing and adding pics. Depending on the writing and deadline, those time blocks may be 10 minutes apart, hours apart, or even days apart. Admittedly, paid work takes priority over my niche site.

I like focus writers better than site content for first draft writing because if I come to WA, I become distracted easily. I then C&P into site content for editing. I like research and socializing but I'm strict that writing time is for writing and I like writing sites (or software) that force me to focus.

Thanks for sharing your schedule and your process.

Different people have different approaches. I have seen some good approaches mentioned here in WA. You might find it helpful to spend some time doing blog title research, maybe an afternoon. This is where you do this research, get maybe between 60 to 200 blog titles based on your keywords, and then start to write content.

Have a look at this short video by another WA member that explains this idea in more detail (and where I "borrowed" it from): And be sure to look at his part 2 video as well. For less than 30 minutes, you learn a great approach that should help.

Now to write a blog based on a title I determined earlier with this approach. :)

Thanks for sharing the link. I can't wait to check it out.

My method is I go to bed around 10 and get up between 4 and 5 am. Then I jump on my content writing right then and there. I find that the morning is the best time to "produce". Then in the evening I sit in the living room with my laptop (I do have an office space because I already work from home) and catch up on my secondary tasks and my WA messages.
It has been a long and hard road to get where I am today but it pays off! Just persist! 🙂

Thanks for the encouraging words. I often times have to remind myself I just need to stick with it and all of this will pay off.

I try to give myself 2 hours a day for WA. Juggling everything can be difficult.

For some reason my blog will no longer load up on mobile devices. It shows and loads up fine on a computer but on mobile it just keeps trying to load.

Any ideas?

Sorry about this, TMcKeever! To get a lasting solution to this problem, just go through the resource and read down the page. Israel Olatunji

I forget where the option is, but it is in you SEO I think, you can make you site mobile friendly or not. Wish my directions were better.
