Time To Think Outside The Box
As a Wealthy Affiliate member, we have an awesome opportunity to learn not only how to build that solid foundation for our website but also how we can help others.
One major benefit and there are many is with our fellow members here in WA.
The majority of you know and newbies will soon learn that just the help and support we give each other is far beyond what one could have imagined when we first started out.
Since 2005 Wealthy Affiliate has constantly improved their website not just for themselves as business owners but has improved and enhanced the opportunity we as members of the wonderful place to learn to go forward the right way in many ways and not just as an affiliate.
We have learned much about how to build a website, how to select the niche we are seeking along with what is required to help our readers find what they are looking for when visiting our site.
The added tools and resources we get without the added cost to our membership are nothing short of amazing.
These tools and resources alone have given us the ability to progress further with minimal struggle compared to others, not in Wealthy Affiliate, many of who are still struggling to learn what is truly required to be successful online as an affiliate marketer.
It is not about the money
Affiliate marketing has always been about the readers coming to our website it is not about the money.
It should never be about The Money.
Yes I know we all came to learn how to earn online we all want to make money for whatever personal reason we have.
However, when you truly learn the right way (which you will at Wealthy Affiliate) you will find out it is and has always been focused on the reader (visitor to your site).
The money you earn is a benefit for the action you take at the start and that action is to write quality and useful content for the benefit of your readers.
How can you write for your readers?
In simple and direct terms:
The answer to this is when writing content, answer the questions to the problems or solutions they are seeking and do this by helping them and not selling them.
You are already taught how by using keyword research along with using Jaaxy.
You are taught how to do SEO among many other areas within the Core training.
Did you Know?
Did you also know there are others (fellow members) who have more options for you to think about?
You have many training lessons and blogs created by other fellow members on various topics.
To find them or an answer you seek use the magnifying glass at the top and place your keyword question where you will find many other options to learn more.
Important Blogs and Training
You already have training on keyword research along with using Jaaxy.
However, there are times when you need to delve deeper with not only the keyword you wish to use but also keywords that will help you rank (or at least) higher with the search engines such as Google in particular.
Also note:
Great keywords are important to know and may get you a higher ranking but not necessarily will not give you total success if you’re content sucks.
What and how you write in your content will make a bigger difference.
Remember the saying Content Is King?
So you need to think outside the box to gain an advantage over others relating to your niche and also get that higher sport on page 1 on Google.
You see if visitors read your content and all they see are sales pitches for products or hogwash with what you write will leave your site quick and smart.
If you don't answer what they are seeking again they will leave and look elsewhere for someone who has their answer to what they need.
Time to Think Outside the Box
One of the secrets to success in gaining visitors to your site is to create content that is beneficial for your reader intent, one that will answer their questions they are seeking online.
You see there is Keyword Research but there is also The Keyword Research that can take you further to where you want to be.
This is the way to think outside the box and not be like everyone else.
What is the Answer to this
Now knowing about keyword research is important hence the training given to you.
Taking the next step in learning how to use keywords in a different light (outside the box) along with what is the best way to get yourself ranking up high in the search engines for people to find you content for your keyword topic.
Helping Members for Your Benefit
There are many members here who can help you out but there is one I need to mention.
(Have to swallow my pride in mentioning his name LOL) seriously he gets a big head as a result but with a smile.
But all jokes aside (No seriously again this is hard to say but admit totally worth mentioning) this person has been helping many members more than you may realize who have found added success with ideas that are or perhaps to some considered outside the box.
Then again if you really give it some thought to be successful in anything you do and not be the average Jane or Joe you need to think outside the box.
I am talking about P, PA, PAR, PAR,T PARTH, Oh hec Partha the one who has created a new era version of the Encyclopedia Britannica for affiliate marketers.
The name will be changed one day and may be called the Encyclopedia Partha Potions and lotions to your success online.
Well maybe not lotions (that is his personal business) but at least potions regarding keyword research and how to rank better with Google
Sounds more like Partha Potions Master at Hogwarts
I won’t go on and harp on what he has to share you can do that yourself treat it as personal research to your success online. You're welcome.
So here are a few examples of where to start going forward they can be done separately but one has two parts so best to keep those in the order given.
The last one will give you a great way to think further outside the box from what he has to share.
For this one don’t get stuck inside Paratha’s mind if you do you will be lost forever LOL

https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/parthab/blog/allow-me-to-blow-your-niche-choosing-and-research-mind
Now, of course, there are many more blogs that will benefit you from Partha but I have probably given you at least a couple of days’ worth of reading, re-reading, and then some more plus you will need to go shopping first and get a couple of jars of coffee before you start.
Added side note for newbies or recent newbies starting out thinks about this.
Many at the start of their journey think about making money quickly and start to promote what or where they can.
If you have no visitors to your website how do you expect to sell products or services?
Of course, you can spend a fortune each month paying for ads or find a fake would-be guru and pay them for their so-called done for you, or just need to push a button with three clicks and you can earn a thousand very quickly.
In the meantime not only are you paying them for their course but you will be paying more in advertising cost, most times they will get you to pay for traffic (never a good thing to do at any time more so if you are starting.
Or you can go through the training given to you then when you understand more come back to this post and look outside the box to enhance your opportunities to succeed.
Just do go looking for the shine money syndrome or try to take shortcuts as you will do more

Hi Andre-san 👋!
Ummm, I think I was on another planet. I was very focused and determined to complete another revamping. Yeaa, done and onto another. Crawling onto my next old post (can't see the turtle)...
Thank you for this awesome topic. It's the perfect timing. Just to give me a brain break on old posts, last night I decided to also focus on a new topic. I knew what it was... started my research but discovered there are already lots of competitors.
Scrolling down to the bottom of Google's page, I discovered other things people were looking for that related to my topic. Now I can make it different and of course knowing these are popular questions people ask, I know I can help them.
Plus... ya, I really do know my niche and so I've been there and done that too. I experienced them all. Well, except for cave diving which I hopefully will do this winter, I will have taken courses on it and really experience that too. Oh, and yes, there's a dry suit thing... I don't like diving in cold water but I can learn that too. I might love it.
I agree with you that it's not about raking in the money. It's important to build trust and it's by writing quality content to help people solve what it is they're looking for.
I'm glad you mentioned Partha... I would to find some new ideas on keywords so I can outdo my competitors. I'll click on the links you provided. Lol.. they are rather long and so I'll open a bottle of red wine. 🍷
Sorry for being so wordy, but now that I'm back on earth...
Thank you for writing this, Andre-san! Have an awesome day!
Monica
Oh Monica you will always be welcome and don't apologize for being wordy you have nothing to be sorry about, so take that type of thinking out of the equation.
Glad you like his posts they are very useful and worthy of reading even with a bottle of red hehe.
Now you have some more ideas of your topics and with the cave diving that should open more plus the dry suit is more ideas you can dive into (pardon the pun).
For the money part, we all know that is want we came here for but learning the right way is what will work to get that as an end result and that is being honest, and giving value to our readers,
Enjoy the rest of your day and continue to strive forward and get those new ideas flowing for your readers and ultimately for yourself.
Blessings my friend.
Andre -San

Partha's thinking is awesome and his advice gold. Personally, I enjoy his writing style too. He is one of the major assets on this platform.
That said, you deserve some credit too, Andre. I often see the sensible, practical advice you give to questions in Live Chat. You always actually address the question being asked and give a focused answer and that's so important.
Thanks Phil appreciated it, yes as much as I like to rattle and have fun with him I do agree with you his writing and thinking are really wonderful and refreshing.
Compared to some others I have seen regardless of their status.
As for chat thanks again there are times when you can give a link but to answer their question is not much different from answering questions on our own blogs.
They are still people searching for answers and giving them the honest truth is important rather than going around the bush.
I have also noticed you do the same Phil with helping fellow members both in Chat and questions asked to the community in answering and addressing their questions.
So thank you for that as well.
Wishing you a great day
Andre
