Your elaborations on uncovering an ever present issue and methodically resolving the problem is brilliant. Furthermore you provided other links to expand on the key areas of money making that were wonderfully explained. Cannot deny that this is one of the best lesson I've had the pleasure to learn on WA.

Veronica, Awesome work in a nut shell, and being a newbie it's very intimidating!!!!! Buy I Love CHALLENGES, setting GOALS, and PROBLEM SOLVING, when we do not get the results were looking for! This is all new, and yes its a major challenge, I'm ready for a new way of life, and allowing myself to have a life, but I'm not afraid to put in the work, and getting my hands dirty!!!! Wish us all, NEWBIES the inspiration to face these challenges, and Master them with the tools this company has to offer us all. Good luck everyone, I will help in anyway I can, and everyone please do the same fore me! Best Wishes to All, Al Sanders!!!!!!

Hi Veronica thanks for sharing some great insights....but just need some clarification on the Amazon products. That is, in order to earn commission from Amazon I can either have my visitors buy through my affiliate link or take physical delivery of products I may be interested in correct? If the latter is right then we have to consider (ontop of purchase cost), storage, delivery charges, etc. Have I got that part right?
Cheers Gina

hi just started today and today is my baby girl brithday. I understand this is a great program and i looking forword to working with all of you to get me the help i need 1 step at a time thank you for letting me be apart of the team.i mest up my back really bad and i cant work like i use to and i like what i seen now i have the changes to do something i love to do thanks

Clearly your niche should be something about which you are truly passionate. Then all the research and effort is joyful. Also, providing a service that is truly helpful to people (such as the colic example) can help you really feel good about what you are doing. Those two factors can help you have the energy and commitment you need to maintain a high level of dedication.

Thanks for sharing, Veronica. I've invested in three online businesses in 2007. Every presentation started with the "leader" (usually an actor) cruising down a major avenue in a stunning, hot red, sports car I didn't recognize. All around there was a tropical "look" ...the avenue lined with palm trees & was even running parallel to an ocean. The music is upbeat, but too loud. He whips into the circle drive of what to me was a mansion, & was just as majestic on the inside as the camera followed him into his "home office"...the size of half our entire home.

What I saw when I took my first look at WA was so reassuring. My anxiety level dropped & I actually felt comfortable & convinced I was going to really learn, develop & grow my own business.

So excited...

Thank you, I found your article to be a great help, especially as an introduction to this whole process. This is all very new to me and I am sure I will be reviewing your article often as I continue to learn about this business. I am particularly grateful for the additional training links that you provided at the end of step 6. Right now this all feels a little bit like a foreign language, I look forward to the day it all feels like second nature. Thanks again.

I believe that it would be a good idea to also try building a domain using an easy site like GoDaddy as well. Much success has been had using that for a base site because you can also link to Wordpress from there. The prices are affordable and the navigation is super easy. Using tracking links and hosting sites are helpful as well and can really build a base for your sales funnel. Put all of this together and you can see some pretty good results. Don't forget to test which links work best (through tracking) and go with the best ones. If you are selling to multiple audiences, it just means that you have to put more work in to building each link to take your traffic to where you want them to go. You wouldn't want your weight loss traffic to be sent to the make money link ;)

I think this post is a helpful start. Thanks :)

Veronica,
My first born had colic. I can relate. We were desperate to get help (1993) but the internet was just an infant itself in 1993. Thank you for showing that as long as it is an interest that you have and you are willing to put time and passion into it, you can turn that knowledge into income!

"If you apply for a new Adsense account you will need your own domain. You can not apply for an Adsense account using a subdomain."

Hi regarding this note, I already have a blogger/blogspot account and registered with adsense just recently. It is not gaining anything yet and I honestly don't know how it works yet. My blogspot acct has been there since 2014 as it was just a side hobby before.

my question is, I am planning to move my blogspot acct under WA, can i still use the adsense account?

I need to share this information, because, In the past weeks, I have been on a crusade to learn how to make money on line. April I joined group Work at Home (WAH) cost me money, got all their training, copy, paste, links, campaigns with CPA companies. I have website though wordpress , Fan page on facebook, Iam an affiliate with Adwork media and others as well Amazon affiliate, have not made a dime, I have the website but no information from WAH to give me guidance to set it up correctly. I post on facebook, I blog on my website, still no activity. I used to own a health food store (GNC). I have a wealth of knowledge in vitamins, minerals and supplement, in helping the body to repair and heal itself. I have been launching campaigns using Amazon products that reference a natural and holistic products that they list. Their products are posted on my facebook and at my website I created own my own with no instructions from WAH. I was so disgusted until I have made contact with WA, before that I made the mistake of being taken by EZ-money team another scam. I have really been taken advantage of, just trying to learn to work from home. Thank you for your help. Howard.

Thank you so much for sharing this information. I dream of the day I can work from home to stay with my son and I cannot express how grateful I am for all of the information, tips and advice people like yourself give out to people like me who are desperately looking for alternatives to the 9-5. I feel like I have learned so much just from this article and the intro videos I have been through so far and now just have to start learning how to effectively apply it.

Hello Veronica.
For awhile I was taking tutorials on making money as an Amazon FBA member and I signed up for a "Sellers Account". But later I found out that FBA was not for me. Much rather work Amazon as an affiliate and do the trainning with WA. If I close my Amazon Sellers account, (which is 49 dollars a month, ) will I still be able to open an affiliate account, or will Amazon reject me due to closing the seller acount?

Thank you, Veronica! That was an impressive introduction to making money with a blog. Some I knew, some I didn't know. The "didn't know" is my reason for being on WA. Since I just started here, some of the topics I will follow up on later, but at least I know they exist. ;)

I don't know about you but I am starting to despise clickbank. Most of their offers look like spam with too much babble and caveat emptor. I hope there are other sites that actually promote value added products while getting commissions in excess of 50%. I have no idea if Amazon (while very good) will give me enough revenue if they are only paying out 6-10% commissions. Any places where they are paying out commissions that don't pay a pittance?

Hello!!! I saw your profile and decided to meet you. I have no way now to chat online because I'm at work. if you're just looking for a serious relationship and I liked you. write me your email and I will write to you / or you yourself can write me on my number (832) 804-1150 thanks ...

I would like to offer a suggestion to the people learning this new affiliate information.
We all learn by REPETITION. So it's not just enough to read through this info once. It would be wise to do it over and over a few times until you "GET IT". And then go on to the next section and having the previous section LEARNED in your mind, you will have a better base for the next item to learn.
A STABLE BASE IS HOW HOUSES AND BUILDINGS ARE BUILT. Your stable base here is knowledge and understanding.
We want to absorb this knowledge and by repetition you will develop a DEEPER understanding which will start to make it easier for you to grasp this entire course and become an expert.

At times we are told or made fun of because someone has to "read it over again". Yes some times we have to so we can grasp it and understand it. This is a scientific fact. The problem is that the "system" has brainwashed people to think that is silly to do. And then you go around the world and see very few experts at something earning LOTS of money for what they do. -- interesting isn't it.... ;) I hope this helps newbies here! cheers!

I have heard from several different sources that in order to make money online "the list" is crucial. I don't know how true it actually is but I'm aware it is helpful to have a list of people interested in whatever product or service you are offering. There are programs called Autoresponders that can automatically send e-mail messages and, from what I've been able to understand, are a big part of the list building process.

Some years ago I had adsense but I was removed from the program as they suggested I clicked on my own ads. I certainly never did it intentionally, but it was probably an issue if someone else in the family searched for something on google. I think the family were relieved because they could do normal searches after that.
So be careful and never click on any ads when doing searches on googe.

Hi all. So, without a domain how would we get ranked enough from google to get the traffic exposure we are in need of? I've purchased a domain in the past and I didn't get a lot of Google hits to my website. How will we get any at all with a sub domain, I wonder? The key must be in- how to be high/top ranked in google. That's the tricky, difficult task.

Hello all this is my first time posting so be gentle. I am reading the 6 ways to make money with your word press blog and with the starter account we get 2 websites but I'm wondering are the website we get domains or subdomains as I've just read Google adsense does not allow subdomains or if this is something I should be concerned with right now. Sorry for the long post and thanks for any help I receive.

I've learned more in the 40-minutes since joining and beginning the training. I realize I didn't get off the ground due to a STRONG enough desire and commitment. Lack of Focus deterred me. My focus has obviously changed. My level of commitment is where it's NEVER been before. Good stuff on here. I'm ready!

This is real knowledge delivered in a straight foreward manner. I've been procrastinating because I thought this would be complicated but its not. This will require alot of trial and error but there's great potential for success. There are millions of people to target and They all have different personalities, intrests and needs.Most importantly, everyone I know jumps on google as a starting point when they need information or a product. The road before us is long but the possibilities seem to be endless. Search engines seem to be growing as fast as the world's population and e-commerce is pretty much a standard nowadays.
I am now brainstorming to discover a good concept to begin with (This seems to be the hard part).

May we all have great success on this exciting journey!

Great sharing. Easy to understand and straight to the core points.

The info on Amazon about we are able to earn commissions even when buyers are not buying our reviewed products but as a result of our link is like a light bulb switch just got turn on in my head when I read it.

Thanks for the sharing.

Like what I'm seeing so far. Seems legit. Not like these other places where it says you don't have to do anything just log in and make money. Yeah right. Money is work and work is money. Can't sit and do nothing and make money have put some effort in.

So let’s say I love tea and will try to sell it.
I can’t think of problems people have with tea except maybe not brewing it right. Would that be a problem to solve? In your example people know they have a problem with their baby, not everyone knows they have a 'tea' problem.

This is fantastic instruction for people new to Affiliate marketing , like myself. I loved how well organized and compartmentalized it was. That is what i am appreciating about this site so far. How organized the information is.

I came up with two inquiries while reading this article;

The first is that the author, Veronica, suggests the best way to capture an email from a visitor is by giving them something in return. Her example for one website she built was to create an e-book on the topic niche she choose (her example was colic).
E-book sounds like a whole other realm I would have to learn, and I am not a stranger to hard work but, sounds like quite a venture to write a e-book in the topic. Are many others going this route? What are other good ways to entice a visitor to provide their email address?

My other question has to do with getting a commission from Amazon-com . I am from Canada, so do I need to use Amazon-ca? ( i had to use the hyphen as only premium members can use links in comments and I hadn't signed up yet)

Thanks for the read!

Thanks for this post. I've been using WordPress for a long time, but not consistently, and I've never viewed it as more than a public journal (I'm a writer and post poems and stories I'm not currently submitting to markets). Since I'm comfortable with WordPress, I hope that creating another one, finding a niche, and the using affiliates will start me down a path of making some money online.

Hello, thanks for the tips!. Quick question - what will you advice in an instance where I have already set up a website that offers services to my audience/clients e.g. job coaching.
Will you recommend that I become an affiliate of other well established companies/websites in my niche and promote their services (which are similar to mine) on my own website ?.
Is this appropriate ?.
Thanks in advance for the responses to my question :)

Wow! I have toyed with affiliate marketing for a while without any success. Now I know why - I was just "toying" with it! There is nothing wrong with the product I am an affiliate with, I just haven't been focused and serious enough. Thanks for the lesson, some of it is way over my head as yet but won't be for long.

I've been using my Amazon affliate link on a large writing site for a couple of years. It has been very handy for making a few dollars a month just for referring someone to Amazon. The problem with publishing on someone else's site: If there's a problem with their traffic, or Google changes the game, commissions can vanish overnight, and that's what happened to me.

This made me realize that having my own web sites/blogs is the only way to go. I joined WA so that I could learn how to do my own blogs. This is wonderfully written and very informative. Thank you.

From what I gather you chose the product based on your experience with colic and your young children.

One of the rules of Affiliate Marketing is selecting a niche that you are passionate about using. This colic product was your first niche product, and I guess after your first product it became easier to research other products you may not have had experience through use

Thus keeping your two babies in mind, it must have taken at least fifteen months to do the research on this niche.

one way to make money was to sell the item and have it fulfilled by Amazon. Your Blog had images of happy Mothers, happy infants and happy family gatherings. I bet there were entries from you, I think 2 because you had 2 kids and as a mother of 2 myself, I know that no 2 children are alike when it comes to issues like colic. You also probably used testimonials if you could fit it and perhaps links to social media about how to settle your baby's upset tummy, heal/treat colic, and get your baby the sleep they deserve with photos of babies or babies and mammas or papas all over instagram. Perhaps make a page in FB for the product?

I appreciate the outline about how we can expect to make money with our Wordpress Blog. It helps so much that it is broken down to it's simplest form so that as an audience member, I know what to anticipate, see if I'm already familiar with any of the ways listed and know what to have in the background of my thoughts as I continue the lesson.

Hi, I am new & following through each step & have been directed to this page however, I have a feeling there may be a link missing? Can someone please confirm for me? I only joined a couple hours ago & only signed up to premium half an hour ago. Could thus be why I am seeing less? I tried to screenshot to attach a pic, but it doesn't allow me to attach it.
Basically there is no tutorial for me to "get started" as it suggests... Or am I missing something?
Thanks for your time

Is it better to focus on one affiliate program or several of different types? For example, if the top result is a store for products that help with colic but the next top is for books on the subject, would it be best to include both or just one? And what about mixing amazon affiliate links to specific products with an affiliate program that offers something amazon products cannot?

I guess put simply, is it best to put all my eggs in one basket or diversify?

finally someone makes sense, ONe of my many jobs was in advertising and I know the benefits of it. I also know it can be BIG bucks. What I do not see here is two things I learned while running a retail business. 1 is brand advertising allowance...this is the manufacture pays you to advertise their product, can be low as pennies but pennies if volume is there make dollars. 2. It is the LAW that is you find someone selling for less than you can purchase for resale, you have a bad connection, by law any price offered to one retail outlet MUST be offered to all. this can be adjusted to volume but must be offered. This is the FAIR TRADE ACT.

I am still having a hard time understanding the email list building with a simple website that might be oriented or focused to a narrow type of products. For example: Any new contact needs to be related to the same products. There must be many related products in your niche that you might get each person interested into. Otherwise they might simply un-suscribe to avoid further contacts. Unless the product needs repetitive purchases, like a nutritional supplement. But if you are advertising blenders, once a person bought one, what more interest he might have in your website?
If you are not in a niche, you can email the same guy offering different products, without having either a website. I would call this 'blind email advertising" which is what I have been bombarded with on a daily basis.

This is the most complete information on these internet marketing topic I had seen in my life. Thanks a lot Veronica. I wish I could have learn this before. Six months before. I just read your information about the six ways, very briefly, but I plan to go in depth

Hello everyone. Just joined premium today and I am so excited to learn everything my brain can hold. I wish everyone the best of luck and I am a firm believer that you can get anything you want if you put effort and time. Any help or advise will be highly appreciated.

Hi - this training was really helpful. I have my own range of products as part of my network marketing business and I would welcome some advice as to how I can link my wordpress blog and website to my online shop. I can also see that I could increase my revenue by having affiliate programmes however, I am concerned about maintaining my authenticity and compliance within my existing MLM business. I want to build a brand as a Virtual Personal Trainer so targeting the weight loss and fitness markets as we have amazing products to help solve peoples weight and fitness issues.

My target audience is people aged 18 - 60 who want to lose weight and get fit but don't want to join a club where you have to go to meetings and be weighed in public. People who either can't afford or don't have the time for a Personal Trainer but need the support from someone who is caring, gives recognition, is private and personal and can tailor a plan to fit in with their work, family and lifestyle. Someone who gives encouragement, support praise and recognition.

I will help people feel good about losing weight healthily and for the long term.

Set achievable goals and provide support and encouragement online and through social media.

If anyone has any advice and ideas I would love to hear them.

Thank you

Linda

The note at the end of this article is a little confusing. On the one hand, it states that you can not apply for an Adsense account using a subdomain like siterubix.com. On the other hand, it states that when your account is approved using your own domain, then you can add Adsense to your SITERUBIX.COM SITE IF YOU WOULD LIKE. Are there parts of Siterbuix.com that are free, but if you buy a domain name then you can ad Adsense? Please explain.

Veronica, I love the way everything is presented. The information you give is relevant and rather important to the topics mentioned. I look forward to reading, hearing, or seeing any further content that you produce. I'm almost certain it will assist me, along with every other viewer, in accomplishing what I dream to do one day. Keep it up, girl.

I think with amazon you loose the client ....that means they give you a commission on the first sale , but not on the upsales they do later.....so I think its good in the short run but you are not building your business or brand using them longterm....can someone coroborate this information

Thank you so very much for such an informative video. I feel extremely motivated and I look forward to the whole process of gathering all the information available. I can clearly see the importance of following the program wonderfully set out for us who have become a part of the WA community.

On my journey to success, with hope to one day be able to really help those that may assist in some way not yet known.

Stupid question, should I be taking notes of these certain sites she is mentioning or will they come up again when the time comes. I know it doesn't hurt to write them down, but don't want to do extra work if they are just going to pop up elsewhere when I need them.

The guidance on doing search engine results with + Affiliate Programs is spot on and a good way to get quick and focused results. From my personal experience AdSense is unique among Bing and Google. The key thing to remember is that they will only pop up the top 10 blue links the highest results currently ranked. Also, make sure to look at the ads they are also pushing on the sides as those advertisers make it a point to offer good deals etc.

Seems to be many options to make money, so need to get familiar with Wordpress and blogging. I am still in the middle of the lessons so I'll keep going through the lessons to learn more. I use and promote many products from Amazon, why not make some commission on recommending products ; )

Wow this information is so great that unjust realized that value I have to do once I make my website is add different types of products and advertisers that is what I am getting out of the lesson so am I right about it if not can one explain it to me more

I have a few ideas that intend to use once my website is set up.

Quick question: Does WA, allow us to market our own products on our site. it may be discussed within the next few lessons but I havent gotten that far.
for instance setting up a shopping cart, a place where you can place your products ? or will I have to use and addition service ?

Great tips! I used to use Plimus (now BlueSnap) for my own digital products with lots of success. They used to (probably still do) have a way of generating your own affiliates links by getting potential affiliates to sign up for your affiliate program through your link. Great for recurring-monthly programs too. Another quicker-payout way (pays directly to paypal) for setting up your own affiliate program is e-junkie website.

One pitfall I found early years ago is having too many outgoing affiliate links and not enough content on my sites. This is a red flag to google esp when your site is loaded with blackhat-saturated links from clickbank and probably some others. So while quality backlinks and content are great, your site needs good PR ranking which is hard to achieve when you have a site where 90% of the content is outgoing links.

I liked the plugin tips and the learning modules seem informative. Great advice also about solving problems. Sell the sizzle (benefits) not the steak (product)! PS I'm vegetarian but I was taught that tidbit in the car business :)

Thank you for the K.I.S.S. (KeepIng It Simple with a Smile!)in this training. It makes it feel easier and less of a mountain to climb as long as we remember the longest journey begins with a small step then repeat until you get to the top!

I have read so many things over the years about designing your own sites and was always overwhelmed by the differing opionions out there on the web that I seemed to stagnate after awhile about making a decision on which steps to take. I don't have the money to really get the premium setup yet so I am going to have to continue other avenues of passive income along with more autodidactic methods because I do have access to a computer and the Internet. Thanks for your to-the-point descriptions.

Great. A short, informative list with a few topics that I have heard about years before like Adsense and writing ebooks. I guess I'll have to figure out a niche and having purchased an item from Amazon a few months ago help alleviate a problem I have been having may help me kill two birds with one stone.

Hi Veronica.
I have joined this program a week ago and i will admit that i was lost in the beginning as far as "starting off" was concerned. I know how affiliate marketing and similar things work but I had no idea what to do and how to make money HERE... Partly because I have not had the time to go through the lessons nor have i had the time to read about "how things work" here due to other commitments... namely my businesses.
Your article has helped me "6-fold" and I can not thank you enough for this.
Good luck! :)

God!!! There is plenty of valuable information in here!... That's what I was looking for!!! thanks to all of you.
A question... If i decide to go for the Adsense way, may WA provide me with my own domain? Or there could be a way I can have it without spending lots of money?. Thanks
