It should be clearly visible in the primary menu. Disclosure is typically a page.
You also need a shorter disclosure as close as possible to the first affiliate link in a post, either above or below the link.
For Amazon, it has to say "as an Amazon Associate I may earn from qualified purchases" and this has to be directly above your first Amazon link in post.
Affiliate Disclosures, FTC Guidelines, and Amazon Rules FTC & Affiliate Links/Affiliate Disclosures
Good late morning,
I have watch both videos and nailed it! I also reached out to Mark to see if the placements were good.
About a month or so ago, I seen some questions arise about Amazon and the affiliate links and disclaimer/disclosure and someone posted Marion's video (it may have been you).
So I watched Marion's video and I thought I was okay, until a few days ago. I received an email from Amazon. Scary moment.
As I stated to Mark, "this is a learning curve, even if I failed."
Thanks again,
Homer

When building my first niche, I gather it is to base off my own likes and hobbies. Mine are marital arts, hiking and wood working, etc. So, since I don't have any products of m
The affiliate bootcamp training is for those wanting to promote WA. Your three interests that you listed there are solid. Choose the one you enjoy the most or feel the most connection to and continue progressing through the training.
Choosing your niche doesn't have to be something you knock out of the park on your first attempt. Think of this as a learning project. You'll start building so you can fully understand the process, but if you make your mindset like this is all a rough draft it takes all the pressure off.
You need to aim for ONE focused niche with a specific group of people; I'd go with what best resonates with me.
You do not need to carry a line of products or services as you will promote other merchants' merch unless you are doing e-commerce, like having a shop take a line of inventory or dropshipping.
For the things you have listed in your question, you would follow up on the OEC core training.
The Affiliate Bootcamp is the make money online niche which is totally a different niche. What Training? The Online Entrepreneur Certification or The Affiliate Bootcamp - Choose your path!
I would pick a niche-topic that you like a lot that later you can make some money off of and sell products. Again, must be something that you like a lot. I have my site now 10 months and have written almost 200 articles. I am starting to see my site is improving and enjoy the topic of my site. If you're wanting a certain topic, you can write articles -something connected to your topic and that helps you get traffic to your site. It's a steady process but building the foundation to your site is important. I'd definite watch all the bootcamp videos and there are some small adjustments in a few videos that are simple and important. If I was you, I would get very few new plugins, so your site runs smooth. There's a bit to this but you learn as you go along. I sort of like my site more now than the first couple months and that's good. Gets a little confusing but remember as your site gets older it will then get more trusted by search engines. Isn't an overnight thing does take time to get to the commissions part.
As time goes on, I pick 2 days a week now that I don't look at my site except to be sure my plug-ins are updated. Or spend maybe a couple hours on the site. I usual spend like 5 hours or more on other days. I space things so I don't get burned out. Plan my weeks for what days I'm going to spend on the site and what days to not look at my site that much.
Agree, burning oneself out and never good. I work out and tend to look for changes every day. I see nothing but I switched my mindset and let weeks go by and then I see a different.
Hi - the first thing to remember is that a niche is not a product but a subject you can help a specific audience with.
You will be expected to write a lot of content on your chosen niche, everything original, nothing copied and pasted.
Therefore, it makes sense that it should be a subject you are genuinely interested in and have some knowledge of, or at the very least, would enjoy researching.
You need to write helpful, informative articles, as this is what brings visitors to your site.
Once you have visitors, you can start recommending appropriate products to them.
So, you need to find a subject you can write a lot about.
You don't need to own the products, although if you do, it can help build trust.
