  2. Thank you Adam for providing such a value. Because of you, I finally decided to setup a site and start rolling, been waiting ages for quality, straight to the point content like yours, The keyword research tool is a bit expensive when just starting out, and I have no cash flow generated yet, do you have any free or cheaper alternative to recommend to start with ? Thanks in advance ๐Ÿ™‚

  3. Iโ€™m confused. Did you say you can add plug-ins on the free site? Itโ€™s late and Iโ€™ve been working for hours, so I may have missed somethingโ€ฆ.but Iโ€™m on the premium plan and it doesnโ€™t allow me to use plug-ins unless I upgrade to the business plan. Am I doing something wrong?

  4. Thanks for this WP Theme tutorial attempt. Unfortunately, this theme took alot of customizing that wasn't intuitive for my blog's branding and content. Spent days just adjusting the colors for links, menus, etc for accessibility requirements, and find plugins for accessibility. Also, took a while to adjust the footer for adding disclaimer text as formatting the footer wasn't intuitive either, esp where to place the widgets to position properly. Had to find alot more plugins and manually set up for auto-insert FTC compliance affiliate and other disclaimers for each blog post, image alt-text, and one for website cookie banner compliance for tracking, etc. Also, required privacy policy, TOS, & disclosure/disclaimer pages to link in footer was not noted in this tutorial, which is crucial considering possible FTC non-compliance, headaches, fines, lawsuits, etc. ADA lawyers for accessibility compliance are also targeting bloggers/website owners for non-compliance lawsuits, so please make note of these additionally required adjustments in building any WP site. It takes ALOT longer than this video length to manually complete all these tasks before launching a blog. A much simpler/minimalist WP theme would have saved me days of manual adjustments against the baked-in styling of this WP theme, replacing all the bloat images/text, replacing the nav menu text and hierarchy, etc.

  5. Hey Adam, this information is invaluable, thank you! Do you have indepth step by step info on all of the WordPress settings/plug ins you use in your BGE course? Thanks again!

  6. I used a theme where it comes with theme page pictures. I deleted the picture that come with the theme and I put my own featured image . But it's not showing!. What can I do to show the featured image? Can you please help me?

  7. Hello Adam, I just decided to reach out, leaving this comment to let you know that I was recently watching the free masterclass that you provided, but a couple minutes into the presentation, it frose up and stopped playing for some reason.

    I don't really know what might have caused the video to stop playing, but I had to let you know. I therefore hope the problem gets fixed.

  8. adam did you not tell us to choose our niche based on US and not based on the market?
    you said in the video that you should search a profitable niche but on the masterclass said that we choose our niche based on US and our passion/expertise.

  9. Appreciate the quality of your work, but I find the speed of your speech and the rate of your delivery sometimes overwhelming, particularly when you are on the technical stuff. Slow down and do less, would be my preference. Then you are a great educator! Hope you don't mind mind the comment.
