I was speaking with Barry about his online business as an Amazon Affiliate. He is a young man who wants to find a way of earning money online and he wants to focus on a niche that he can relate to.

His dad, who is a serial entrepreneur, set him up with a website and paid for some digital marketing courses to help him add content to his website, insert affiliate links and measure his website traffic.

You can see what he’s done so far if you follow the link further down this page.

Jerry Lame has started multiple businesses and wants his son to have the digital marketing skills to earn an income for himself. Jerry made a mess of his accounts because he changed his business regularly and jumped in and made decisions without having a good grip on his financials.

He’s going to make sure that Barry learns how to use MYOB or Xero to manage his own financials.

Which digital marketing courses to do first

The affiliate marketing course taught Barry how affiliate marketing works so he can earn money by sharing information about products from Amazon but he’s missing a key skill – how to create pages, edit menus and create hyperlinks using WordPress.

Barry’s affiliate website uses WordPress and WooCommerce so he needs to learn how to edit his website by learning these software programs and this is the best course for these skills.

Once he masters his basic WordPress skills, Barry will need to make sure that his website contains all the elements to make it easy for website visitors to use. The most important thing for Barry is to make his website earn him money!

Here are the courses Barry needs to learn how to manage his online business:

• 900 Minimum Viable Website – Digital Business
• 900B Online Tools – Digital Business Course
• 900C Website Landing Pages & CTA

How to make a website earn money

Although its relatively easy to create and edit a WordPress website, earning money from that website is a different thing altogether.

If you’re famous you just just create and promote your products or those you endorse, but when no one knows you, you need to build up trust.

Your website visitors need to know you, like you and trust you and actually want what you offer.

One of the best ways to get people to know you and like you is to enable them to enter their contact details and then share valuable content and information with them.

Most of the time this is done via email and you need to use an Email Marketing system like Mailchimp or Aweber to do this.

Barry’s website is BORING!

We’ve very lucky to see such a boring website because most websites start like this but are hidden from public view!

Barry has decided to publish and be damned so everyone can watch his progress. He has a lot of work to do so subscribe to watch his progress.
