    I am having trouble with getting either of my first attempts to monotize, affiliate etc. My problem began when I decided to try outsourcing for the building of an Amazon affiliate/associate marketing page or website through Fiverr. First I paid for a freelancer promising to build me an autopilot full responsive Amazon affiliate website. Then I soon found out I needed to provide a few things for them to begin the project (domain and hosting platform and information) wrather than providing a full complete from ground up built by them finished product that I would need to maintain and be able to start and improve all aspects as I gain experience and continue to learn. This is when I said ‘okay I will ask another freelancer to setup these requested items. Now all 8s on hold for 2 reasons:
    A) The site builder to be says I can’t use wordpress for amazon affiliate site but there seems to be a lot of advertisements on the internet showing wordpress+amazon=$ or similar messages?
    B) The second freelancer I purchased a domain and hosting from sent the receipt and copy of the payment made and domain purchase statement but the user name and password does not allow me access to either of the 2 different sites I am to have accounts with. I’m assuming the’ cpanel ‘ account and the ‘ something cloud ‘ or ‘ cloud something ‘ accounts are the hosting and the domain providers? So, I cannot provide the information still to the person waiting to start the building of my amazon affiliate site that I already purchased.

    Meanwhile I have been exploring wordpress.org and .com for the intention of learning to blog a internet gambling review and monetization and this has a feel of something I can self learn possibly.

    Hi there!

    You can use Amazon Affiliate links on a WordPress.com site, here you can read more details:

    https://wordpress.com/support/adding-amazon-com-affiliate-links-to-your-wordpress-com-site/

    Also, to clear up any possible confusion, allow me to briefly explain the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org.

    We, WordPress.com are a cloud-based platform where we manage WordPress sites, whereas WordPress.org is a stand-alone software that you can download and self-host with any other hosting.

    You can find more details about WordPress.com and WordPress.org on this support page:

    https://wordpress.com/support/com-vs-org/

    I hope that helps :)

    Let me know if you have any more questions regarding that.
