As I build up my site, it is a lot wordy blog posts in generate press that i think is too much of long articles I have written. I think I should start learning about block post

If you’re looking for quick tutorials on how to use the block editor and spruce up your Wordpress blog posts I’ve been posting one tutorial a day on different aspects that are quick and easy to learn that I think you’ll enjoy 💯.

You can browse through them on my blog or just type in “Wordpress wisdom” in the smart search (magnifying glass) up top😎👍🏼

Thanks, Eric! I have used some for sure, but didn't know there were lots. I had looked for generate press specifically and didn't see much. Thanks!

No prob! Enjoy!

It depends on what version you have.

Their docs here
https://docs.generatepress.com/

You can look up almost anything.

That is handy thanks! IDK what version I have lol.

You could go into Appearance > Customize and check if you need to upgrade the theme. It will say go pro or something.

Ah, looks like not the premium version.
Thanks!

Obviously, you would have limitations with those, but still, you can do plenty. Investment in a GPPremium is awesomely good; you get different templates to use on your site. It is worth considering it :)

I may for second niche, thanks! ! if I add generate block plug in will it convert all my previous posts to blocks and mess everything up? Or I just now will have capability to do so?

You want to look at Jay's live webinar for this. Also, once you are in the block editor, you can choose the classic one from within.

It is always beneficial to learn the block editor However, it says, "Classic Editor is an official WordPress plugin and will be fully supported and maintained until 2024, or as long as necessary."


thanks so much for all the details!

Np :) You are most welcome, Trudy!

I have 22 niche articles posted with 4 on deck. I am getting close to 30 woohoo! There isn't a ton of money making opportunities on them as I know to wait a bit to get indexe

In addition to what Phil mentioned, I would continue adding content and sharing on social media platforms and, of course, following up on the core training.

That's really great effort here, Trudy!

thank you! I appreciate all your help!

You're welcome :)

I'd suggest your next step is to find affiliate vendors with products you'd be happy promoting, get accepted and start to build landing pages for those products.

Thank you and landing pages would be specific for a single product or many on one page?
Thanks,

A landing page should promote one product and should be focused as a pre-sell and contain the affiliate link. Then you can create blog posts that talk about the issues that the product solves and link to the landing page as the solution.

I agree with Phil, build a list

thank you! I appreciate your feedback!

You're welcome, Trudy.

Getting Started

I am trying to add new photos for featured photos (not moving ones I made in hub), but can't scale them right. I read that 1200x900 is good, but when in wordpress, I go to scal

You can also do it with GIMP (free) in addition to Canva.

Thanks! This is video I am working from! Since I am adding new images for feature, I am having trouble with sizing. I can try gimp too, thanks!

In Canva, down at the bottom and right, you have a question mark; you can click that and input any issues you have to get instructions on how to do things. I use it sometimes to get to design banners and ads.

Thanks! I gave up on banner idea and just used pictures lol. It still looks good. I think!?

I am sorry to hear that. What's the URL, please?

galonthetrail.com. I have some up as I just reused what I had, but new ones are square, which still look nice, but I would like them streched across like Kyle's basketball ones.

The photos look great as long as they are relevant to your content and add value, you're good :) Thank you.

Thanks so much!

Np Trudy :) And you're welcome.

Hi - I upload my images to Canva and resize them in there before adding to WordPress.

For GeneratePress, I use 700 x 467.

Thanks! bear with me please!...I don't see those sizes as an option in canva

On the Canva homepage, at the top right of the screen, it says Custom Size.

Click that, then add your required dimensions.

found it, thanks! That makes for a nice photo, but not a banner size for feature. Do have a canva banner size you use to make photo long?

Sending you a PM.

Hello All,
How do I do product reviews without copyrighting pictures? Where do I get the images for specific items? I am building up affiliates and don't have any major on

You need to be affiliated with the program to use their imagery.

However, you would typically need content and traffic before applying to affiliate programs, as they would check your website before approval.

===

It is more challenging with Amazon as you need to obtain the API and cannot apply unless you have attained the three sales in 180 days.

Thanks!
I am Amazon approved, but I thought they away photo use for all? Since being approved can I now apply for API to use images? (not sure what API is).
Thanks,

That's awesomely great that you are :)

API stands for Application Programming Interface.

Here are some Amazon plugins (paid) if you are interested in fetching an API (you would need to have attained the three sales in 180 days.)

Lasso
Geniuslink
Amalinkspro
Amimagemaster
AAWP
WP tasty

Thanks! Guess I better go do some Amazon courses!

You do not need it if you can work out the plugin through their docs or support.

Hi Trudy, I use ShutterStock and I use the feature AI Image Generator, which lets you describe the image you want.

All the best
LD

does the ai image generator create images of branded items? and if so is it legal to use them?

Thanks! i will start there!

I haven't seen ant two alike, that is, since I have been using the AI Generator.

Wondering the same

:)
