Hello! First of all i want to say that this is excellent information Loes but i have some questions
I am a premium member and i don't have the money to pay for this month ... what i can do to stop my premium and continue as a free member until i have the money to pay for premium
Also, premium is autopay? Because i want to control my payments instead of autopaying.(I'm saying this because sometimes i do some payments online and i don't want to add money on my card and "lose" them from autopay transactions)
Please i really need an answer. All the best,
Ioannis

This is excellent information Loes. But I still need a few clarifications:
1. Does WA provide Website Security Package for her free members? Your blog mentions it does but the WA comparative table says otherwise. It says Website Security Package is not available to Free Members.
2. Does WA offer Personal Affiliate Blogs to her free members? Your blog says it doesn't but the WA comparative table says otherwise.
3. How many themes are available to WA free members? This was not mentioned in your blog.
4. What is the Website Storage Space available for Free members?
Thanks you so much again for this great blog. Hoping to read from you soon.

Great training Loes. I don't often think about what Free members get. They do get a lot, but not some of the items I would consider
vital. Which is how it should be.
Thank you.

Thank you Loes,
Unfortunately I had to go through this training for real and it was a great discomfort, because I was worried people wouldn't understand why I only clicked the like button without writing anything, in a way appearing as quite unpolite.
So this is very useful for all those who could go jointless premium to understand the starters better.
Thank you
Anne

Thanks, Loes! You are providing a real sneak peak of the privileges of a free starter member from your's daughter's free account. Much appreciated, and, much needed too. There were many confusions there and when one is promoting WA, one should be clear of all the advantages and disadvantages of being a free member. What say?

Thanks very much Loes for this information. It is very helpful indeed as I need to update by WA review and wasn't certain of what's available with WA free membership..
Also, a big 'Thank You' to your daughter for allowing members to benefit from her current membership

Thanks for the clarification Loes. The restrictions sound pretty reasonable to me for FREE starter membership. What IS available clearly demonstrates the power and value of being a Premium member.
It's not free by the $ numbers, but it certainly is by the VALUE numbers, because of the long list of internet business services the come with a Premium membership.
I have a question. Should I as a Premium members have the complete new side bar functionality that you show above? I do not. I see it in the gray background when I go to my log in page, but once I complete that process the side bar of my profile page looks the same as it always has ... the old side bar.

Many thanks for this Loes.
Having been a premium member for such a long time, I've wondered what the free starter account looked like now & what new members could see & do. So thanks for this great reminder. Seeing your screenshots was very useful to me.
I too am very happy I'm premium :)
