Hi!
My name is Chris, and I have a son named Benjamin (or Benji). Hence my site, Benjisdad dot com.
Benji was born on January 11, 2016 at 6lb 5oz.
Words could not describe the feelings my wife and I felt once this little bundle of joy entered our world. He is a cute kid that loves to talk your head off, yet he is chill enough only to cry when he wants something. Otherwise, he is a happy and content young man.
Dilemma...
As the father of this new family, I was immediately met with pressure to care for the emotional, physical, and spiritual needs of my wife and new son.
This new pressure was compounded when my wife and I decided that she would quit her job of 8+ years to become the prototypical stay at home mom and care for our son.
All of a sudden we had to get used to being a family with one income and fast!
My day job paid decently well, but I needed a way to replace the income that my wife had brought in for all this time. Also, I wanted to diversify.
Believe me, I tried everything. Youtube channel, moonlighting as a DJ on the weekends, doing other odds and end work, just trying to generate some funds. These things were nice, and I made a little money with it but there were a few problems…
It was not bringing in enough income.
It took too much time away from the family on top of my regular 9-5 job.
It took too much time to cultivate with no ending in sight.
I needed a way to generate a “Passive Income”. Income that I did not have to do much work to cultivate.
Solution???
Through my endless searching, I stumbled upon a little thing called Affiliate Marketing. Now, do not get it twisted, Affiliate Marketing takes time to cultivate, but once cultivated, it can and will make you money without having to do much upkeep at all.
Then I heard the words that would change my life forever… “You can make a full-time income on only one site!”
I did not believe it; I could not believe it… But then I started to learn about Affiliate Marketing and all of a sudden it clicked. Affiliate Marketing is something that virtually has no ceiling. You make as much money as you want, You just have to put in the work.
At that point, I was hooked and began learning everything I possibly could to get this online business off the ground.
It was at that point that I realized that the world of making money online is real, I just have to learn the business and put in the work then I would be able to watch the passive income arrive ….well… you know… passively.
That is where we are now. I have an incredibly addictive personality when I latch onto something I have to know and love it inside and out and succeed with it before I even dream of letting it go.
Affiliate Marketing is a whole world with limitless potential.
Conclusion!
So join me on my journey as I learn Affiliate Marketing and pass on my troubles and mistakes onto you so that hopefully you can learn from them and avoid the usual pitfalls that are typical to first-time Affiliate Marketers.
I will also drop updates of the goings on of the family, especially baby Benji, as he grows up. Hopefully, he will appreciate all the work I am putting in for him!
The journey will be long and arduous, but I have insane motivation to succeed. I have to, for my family.
Believe me, Affiliate Marketing works… It really does.

Hi Chris. Just been watching your video on how you tube are making changes. I watch your videos because i am learning and the information i get from you is valuable.
For some reason i don't understand You Tube has shut me down and i cant access my account. I have many videos i use for learning and it seems they are all gone. The thing that makes me mad is that they offer no explanation as to why they have done it. Do you understand anything about this. Are you tube doing this globally? Or is it just me?.......

I will see Chris. I do a little Art and my niche has to do with art materials. I had art tutorials as well as WA stuff on there. The timing is bad that’s all. I just don’t know why it happened. I don’t know if it will happen again. So I guess I will see if I can find another platform. I heard Vimeo is good too.

Ok Chris. My complaining must have worked because it's all been reinstated. I knew I had done nothing wrong. I will continue to move forward and get my head around everything. When you said this wasn't going to happen overnight, you were right. But having seen it so far I recognise it will pay off in the end. I can understand where my income will come from, so I will stick with it.
It's like pushing that car you spoke about but I think I am in a good place.

I went to the help section which wasn’t helpful at all but it did allow me to express my anger at the disposable way I had been treated. I left it at that. An hour later it was back as normal. I suppose they took notice.
At least I can continue learning now.

Thanks Chris, I appreciate your support.
As I live on my own I have to reason things out myself. When I get advice from people who care then it makes all the difference. I embrace the advice and try to implement it.
Thanks again

hey Chris, this is my second day over here and i'm excited about this! I have one concern though as I'm starting, is the account problems because I started my paypal account but I'm worried about connecting it to a bank. is it possible for me to open a bank account in the state while I'm from Libya? I will be asking a lot of questions like these so I apologize in advance.

@faith54 I think the thing that gets a lot of people stuck is thinking they have to "come up with" a niche. Just ask yourself:
What do I like to do?
What am I good at?
What can I get better at?
Most of us have something that drives us, something we love to do. If you like gardening, gig that. If you love music, gig that.
With the global reach of online life, you can be paid for literally anything.
I mean.. there are people that make a living laying on a table while diners eat a buffet off of them. Really.
So what do you like/love/dream of do(ing)?
Gig that.

I'm going with affiliate marketing. I finished the first module in the basic course and started the bootcamp. At the moment I'm stuck because they want me to write a review of WA and honestly I don't want to because I don't feel I have enough information to do so. It's been 2 days. There is too much here to cover in 2 days.

i would write a bare bones review of your experience so far. it doesnt have to be super indepth because yuo can always add to it or change your page.
the training covers everything yuo would need to build an effective website about affiliate marketing. Let me ask yuo this, what product have you used that teaches affiliate marketing well enough to write a good review?
the key is, you need a product to promote so yuo can start making money.

Well, I wanted to finish that post so I just linked your video that led me to WA. But I would like to interview you maybe over Skype for the next article. It is going to be about different skills one can sharpen or put to work online and where you can find work outside the normal customer service, etc.

Hello Chris and fellow WA members,
I decided to give the premium a shot. Now that I have signed up I am wondering what happens if I decide to not continue with my membership down the road.
The main concern I have is about my website and access. Are there are actual website management features that I lose or will I still have access to maintain my site if I decide not to stay premium?
The concern is putting the work into a site and then not being able to access it again without paying my membership dues.
Thanks for the support and for the help!

Hi Hasan.
Great choice in going premium. You won't regret it.
The membership fees covers everything you need to be successful with building a blog including hosting your site. Hosting mean your website needs somewhere to "live" so it can be accessed from the internet.
So if for some reason you decide to quit, you will need somewhere new to host your site. So WA Gives you 30 days to find new hosting for your site to transfer your site out of Wa.

Sorry for bothering but I just want to ask something very important, I'm done with the 10 training lesson and I have learnt some things, I believe the further lessons are for the premium users but I don't have money for a premium badge yet, the lesson ended in me finding a suitable and accurate keyword for my niche and I did that but now there are no video tutorials left for me to continue. It's like I was being carried and dropped in the middle of nowhere to find my way back home, please help

Hello Chris,
Just thought I would sent you some traffic to let you know that my set back is about to become a comeback with paypalbacks.
I went back over some of the older videos you put out about side hustlers. I have also been looking at some of the other videos from other affiliates. My company has a bad habit of paying us when they feel it is right. I always tell my co-workers if you want a pay raise, you have to give yourself one. So I realized that some of the material you put out before gave me options to make extra money when I first got in. You areabsolutly right. Learning the material is fine. Putting the knowledge to action is a lot better
1. You get rid of the glitters.
2. The more action you take, the more confidence you build up within.
3. Then your resistance becomes a hobbit.
On my way. You will see some results before the end of the month.
Also my new email address is r.w.dwell642@gmail.com... talk to you later.

Hi Chris,
I was wondering if you can check my site again and tell me how I'm doing with my posts im posting. I reached out to you a couple months back for my website techymancave.com and you responded quickly and I appreciated that. Just wanted to see if you could check me again.
The reason why I'm reaching out again is because this is my 6th month, I didn't make any sales yet, I'm working with 5 affiliate marketplaces, I have a tumblr, facebook and a pinterest page, I boosted with facebook a few times, and still no luck with sales.
Could you give me a brief check list on what I'm suppose to do before I publish a post like keywords? content?, etc.. It's exhausting on my part and the mind is boggling a little if I should continue on this niche or not. But I'm not giving up, just venting.
Please let me know what you think. Thank you for listening!! ALOHA!

hi aaron! You have been working HARD!!! GREAT JOB the site looks amazing! You are doing really well!
However... check your SEO, remember that one of the things that yuo are supposed to do for SEO is to use yuor targeted keyword in the first 100 words of the article and then naturally throughout the rest of the article.
I checked a couple of your article and the keywrod is in the title which is great, but also be sure to include it in the first 100 words.
you are well on yuor way! your mind is supposed to boggle a little, lol... that typically means you are doing somerthing right, lol.
Befre posting... i woudl do these steps....
Inclue keyword in title and first 100 words of the article
include one outbound link to a website supporting your argument
include at leat 1 internal link to another article on your site.
include a picture
include a video (embeded)
make sure to hit at least 1000 words.
be thorough and on topic and truly help your readers.
that is basically it.. .yuo do that and rinse and repeat for each article, and yhou will kill it... just kep going... you normally start seeing sales and traffic around the 3-4 month mark... things really start to ramp up around month 8... by a year, yuo will probably be making a few thousand a month.
just make the site your baby and post consistently abour 2-3 times a week (or more if yuo can) the more you write the more money you will make in the long run.

Hi Chris,
I miss my first chance to review a website when I went back to check how many words/characters need to review it, and the second time I had to get up from the computer and then it needed to be restarted.
Now after 12 hours and repeated attempts I am not able to get a website to review. Is that the normal waiting time?

yeah, people jump on them quick since it's recently been monetized. i wouldnt worry so much with it. move on from that in the training.
I’ve recently finished the first 10 free courses. My website follows every instruction given, but now I feel an empty *well what’s next?*. I’m serious about keeping my experience free, but without premium, continuing feels impossible.
I’m wondering what I should be working on next, and what is needed to start getting affiliated and earn income from my website.

Hello Chris what's the difference in having a niche and having a keyword to generate traffic are they one in the same or can you make money with both? Also being a Premium affiliate how many different websites can one have. I'm confused I thought that you can only stick with one niche but I thought I also heard that you can have various websites up and running?

Hi Craig, the niche thing is a bit confusing, i know. it took me a while to figure it out... but check out this video... https://youtu.be/RaUCbF5l-N8
That may help you figure out a niche.
a keyword is simply an aspect of a niche.

Hey Chris. Hope you’re having a good Tuesday. Quick question. My niche for my initial site that I’m starting with is going to be based on diy instructions/video linked to sale of products used in them. Thankfully most or all of these are available on Amazon. Question is, as I go through the WA training, will I be building my credentials to be approved as an affiliate by Amazon, or do I need to take additional steps? Thanks for your input.

I understand what you are saying Roque... but up and cancelling just because it is not working out the way you expected is not the way to make money. That is why i say you are overreacting wanting to cancel. But i promised to be your coach and mentor, so just offering some advice.
But regardless, i did give you the intstructions to cancel. Just follow those and you should be ok. I do not want to force you to do anything

So now I am on week 1 of my paid subscription with WA. I must say that I have been having a bit of anxiety hoping that all goes well. I like the training yet when it tells me to blog I get anxiety again. Overall, I am still going head in. I think of this day and night I spend free time and borrowed time just to shoot my shot. Check out the progress thus far and tell me what are your thoughts? http://nowgetwisdom.com/ I am interested in hearing your thoughts

Hey Chris, I just had a quick question. I'm not a business expert by any means, but I do understand that to a certain extent, when it comes to any business, you get out what you put in. I hear all of these different success stories from different people about how they're making obscene amounts of money, but how much do they really keep? I'm by no means trying to ask you about your personal business affairs, because I realize that is none of my business. So, I suppose my real question is, is it possible to make enough profit doing these type of businesses to still live comfortably? Because, as previously stated, these people claim to make these vast amounts of money, but I can't help but think a large portion of these earnings are used to pay off different expenses to the point where people don't necessarily get to put a decent amount of their earnings in their pockets. Does that make sense? Anyways, I really appreciate you taking the time to read this!

Hey Jonathan, that is a very good question.
To be honest, in most cases, when you hear people saying they are making hundreds of thousands of dollars per month, most of them do not tell you that it took them 100k of spending to get to that point. Online, we can create systems that allow us to deposit 1 dollar and get 2 dollars back. If you could do that over and over again, what is to stop you from doing it over and over again with bigger numbners each time?
Very keen eye on your part.
Howver... that being said... it is very possible to make those 'obscene' amounts of money AS PROFIT you are speaking of. It just takes work to build.
Imagine buying a McDonalds franchise. It costs about $750,000 in liquid assets just for McDonalds to listen to your proposal. But their stores earn on average of over $1 million. Just who has an extra $750k just sitting around?
Even with juust starting a restaurant, you have to buy the building, the permits, the food, hire staff, hire cooks, advertise, etc... that is a lot of upfront costs. I belive the average restaurant costs about 30 to 40k to get started. So they are not profitable for 4 to 5 years down the line. that is a TYPICAL business model.
online business is a LOT different. Just thikn of the costs you may have done already... Premium Membership $19 (then $49/month afterwards), domain $15, premium theme $60.... and thats about it if you alrady have a laptop.
So you can start a business ONLINE for less than $100. Much better than $40,000, right?
Because of that, you can become profitable within a few months. If you build something using proven training, you can cut that time substantially.
So if in the first year, my blog made only $20 a month, i am break even after 5 months and profitable in month 6. But typically with website, they scale quickly once they catch on with google.. so that 8 to 12 month range and beyond, your site can literally earn you 5k to 100k a month... and it only costs $100 to get started.
So i hope that start making sense to you.
It is possible to make the obscene numbers people talk about because the overhead to start an online business is obscenely low.
Regardless, you still ahve to pay your taxes and such. so be sure not to neglect that. That part people forget sometimes because wiht a bnusiness, yuo can operate at a loss for years before the governemnt starts to question. Since a business can become so profitable so quickly online, people forget yuo still need to pay taxes. so be sure to keep track of yuro write offs.
To be honest, in most cases, when you hear people saying they are making hundreds of thousands of dollars per month, most of them do not tell you that it took them 100k of spending to get to that point. Online, we can create systems that allow us to deposit 1 dollar and get 2 dollars back. If you could do that over and over again, what is to stop you from doing it over and over again with bigger numbners each time?
Very keen eye on your part.
Howver... that being said... it is very possible to make those 'obscene' amounts of money AS PROFIT you are speaking of. It just takes work to build.
Imagine buying a McDonalds franchise. It costs about $750,000 in liquid assets just for McDonalds to listen to your proposal. But their stores earn on average of over $1 million. Just who has an extra $750k just sitting around?

Hi Chris, I have just finished my review post. Could you have a look at it for me and tell me what you think. If you could rate it from 1-10, 1 being awful and 10 being brilliant. If it's not a 10 can you let me know what to do to make it a 10. Only thing, I don't know how to send you the link. Might as well learn something else in the process. THANK YOU!!!!! :)

Looks good so far.
I am not familiar with carers, so would blogging be something that they are interested in?
the article is written well and looks good. as you progress in the trianing, you will learn about adding images and other cool stuff.
now you just need to create other content around it and point to that article.
ONly thing i would say to do is to break up your paragraphs a little more. you do not want big blocks of text.
it's a style and you are new, so dont expect to be perfect from the start. you will get better the more you do it.
but overall a solid 7. but only because you could add images and breakup the paragraphs a little more. All stuff you will eventually get to in the training.

hey umm, I'm having trouble with my PayPal at the moment, and I was wondering if you could extend the 1st month discount time. I can't afford the $49 monthly price, cause I'm unemployed and it's hard to find work where I am from. For some odd reason PayPal won't accept my bank account, well my bank is quite aways from me.

Hello Chris...
Thanks for the contact.. Yes ..your training on Benjisdad.com is great. I am trying to put everything together to begin narrowing down a niche. I want the health area...in particularly the area of sleeping. I'd like to create something to help people with snoring or sleep apnea. I need some help with this.

that is a great niche. i think you will do well wtih that.. the snoring niche is huge and has the potential to make a lot of money
Hi Chris, I love the story of you and your family, sounds like your a winner. I've just joined last night and are overwhelmed with the hands-on training and support.
I just want to know which one of the 2 courses I should do. I'm staying in a room, just got out of the hospital about a month ago, I am booked off sick for 6 months due to a blood clot, therefore I lost my job, not allowed to drive trucks for 6 months. I decided to look on the net. I don't have an income, but my family supports me by paying for my place and food. Therefore I can put all my effort into this.
I know it depends on a lot of things but, estimated, how long do you think it would take before I get my first money? I want to buy the premium membership, but I don't have anything.

Time for honest truth! lol. But I'd rather you know the truth rather than be fed some fake story other places may want you to believe.
Wealthy Affiliate is not a get rich quick scheme, Andries. It is a legit business opportunity that will take time and effort. So it is unlikely that you will make the money up that quickly. In my personal experience, I took about 3 months before I made enough for the monthly membership.
About 6-8 months to afford yearly which was $29.
About a year to earn $1,000 consistently each month.
After about 2 years I'd make $15k in a month's time.
My results are not typical, but you can see the potential.
My original plan was to work 40 years and retire hoping to have enough money and health to enjoy it, lol. I built up that money and make WAY more in less than 2 years.
So strongly consider finding the money and going premium.
I started off flat broke, so I understand the struggle... but my family and I have a different life now thanks to a silly little old website
Andries, it sounds cliche, but it's the truth and want to make sure you are going into this with the right mindset. It won't be easy and it will take work on your part, but it is totally worth it to pay off your debt and fire your boss.
Hope this helps and reach out anytime. You have a great community around you and my help as well. I'll check in on you from time to time if you stick around to make sure you are on the right track.
Have a wonderful day, Andries!

Hi Chris,
I am a big fan of your work and very appreciative of how you've explained and laid down how to become successful on making money online but especially on this platform :).
I've newly subscribed to your YouTube channel and to your Bendjisad.com website as well. Watching your videos go me back on track!
I've signed up to WA a year ago. but got sidetracked by my e-waste recycling project and failed.I didn't continue to venture myself into the WA program since.
Hard work, dedication and consistency are key to reach real success. Hopefully with your guidance and experience i will reach results i've never had in my life.
Best wishes and blessings,

Hello Sir,
so I have a few question for you.
1. How do I start with being an affiliate and how much money upfront do I need?
2. Does this only work with amazon and if not what other sites do you recommend?
3. I want to start my own clothing brand how do I start that with the same system?

1. just $19 to get started and possible $13 to buy a domain, but it is not necessary.
2. nearly every program on the internet has an affiliaet program. so it largely depends on the niche you decide to go with as to who you would use as an affiliate. Amazon works well because the sell so much stuff, but is by no means required for yuor first site.
3. this isnt really a site to start a clothign brand. But this is the perfect site to MARKET a clothing brand. So after you get everything setup and now you need customers, the training here will show you how to setup a website that attracts visitors to buy your clothes.

Hiya, this old man is very atm. I have a question, or rather a request. I’ve opted to go with the WA boot camp for now, but I’m somewhat concerned about getting back to people after they sign up under me. It looks like I may have to have open heart surgery in the near future. I don’t know when as yet. So what I’m asking is, is there someone who could look after my store while I’m incapacitated?

Yes Chris l have started on BootCamp-on Affiliate Marketing. I was a bit held up by the whole holiday-fever issue but am now back full force.
I can't stand to waste more time now.
I need to embark on the Bootcamp because this idea of developing a niche is still a bit confusing as l seem to have many points of interest l need to decide on.
Then with Affiliate Makerting- how do l develop a website, a domain and start blogging
Don't mind my confusion, but please can you outline these issues please.

Hey Chris! I started out watching your videos about marketing affiliate and now I'm here! I recently quit my job simply because I just hated it.

When I first started creating my web site here at WA, I used a domain name that I had purchased previously and then decided that it wasn't really appropriate for my niche so I changed it. I created my privacy policy page and I think my About me page with that domain. I was told that I should not delete that site for at least a month otherwise it could mess things up. I did transfer those 2 pieces of content to the new domain and then continued to create content under the new domain name. I noticed that my privacy policy page still shows up under the old domain name and within the content of it also has the old domain name throughout. When I click on it and it goes into word press dashboard the content is correct (new domain name). Any ideas as to what I should do? and should I delete the old domain name/ site? If so how would I go about doing that? Thanks a bunch.

hi aaron
site looks good! congrats on where yuo have gotten it so far. I see that you are already ranking for about 20 keywrods, some as high as page 5. that is great for a site that is as young as yours. Just keep going and the rankings will eventually raise as you site and the content ages.
One thing i woudl try to do is get the date out of your URLs. It can date your content. Dont worry with doing it with current content, just content moving forwrad.
i would say to add more 'helpful' content. meaning not everytning needs to be a 'best of' piece. answer some man cave questions that are common in yuor niche.
by the way, i think you have a GREAT niche. man cave is huge, but going the tech route with it is perfect. lot's of potential for growth there.

Hi, How much is premium after the first month. Your review of AWOL talked a lot about upsell they have up to over $15K. Is this the same deal here? How much is the training after the first 10 free lessons and how much is all the training? I look forward to your response. Thank you.

nope, it is $19 for the first month and $49 for each month after to cover your hosting fees and the training. I reccommend people go yearly which breaks down to only $29 a month.
You will see that this is the cheapest place on the internet to grow an online business. It's really a steal.

Thanks for your reply, Chris. So, the only way to make any money with WA is to write a bunch of blogs for 3 to 6 months before you see any money, reviewing the products that you don't own? Or am I missing some here? Please let me know. Thank you very much for your help!

Not just reviews, it's helpful information about whatever niche you choose.
It does take a few months for your articles to start ranking, but that is how Google works. The thing is, once your articles start ranking, one website can become a full time income. Easy.

OK, thanks for your reply, Chris. Will put my thinking cap on and figure out how to move forward.
Hey Chris hope you're doing well. I would like to ask you a couple of questions. You see I'm not in a great financial situation at all. I'm sure a lot of people coming here may be in the same boat and that's why we're here. We want to grow our income and attain wealth.
Basically, I just really don't want to be let down. I don't have much money to invest in programs like this to end up not getting out of it what I want or need. I just hope (and sorry just being honest and I'm trying to have you be on the same page with me so I can best use your help) my current feeling of discouragement doesn't overtake the feeling of ambition within me to work every last bit that I need to to accomplish my goals.
I know you review other programs and I feel that's a good sign that you're truly trying to be of assistance to us. So my questions are, if I truly and relentlessly follow your advice and work hard and to the book, meaning, I work smart and do correctly everything that is being taught here (give or take a mistake here or there that would only be part of the growing process) how confident can I be that I will eventually see progress and can eventually earn a decent full time income?
Also, will you remain my mentor if I stick to the program and go premium? I like you and your style so having you a message away like I do now would be a relief because I've heard that mentorship is a great way to get going and learn the steps of success.
Thank you.
Basically, I just really don't want to be let down. I don't have much money to invest in programs like this to end up not getting out of it what I want or need. I just hope (and sorry just being honest and I'm trying to have you be on the same page with me so I can best use your help) my current feeling of discouragement doesn't overtake the feeling of ambition within me to work every last bit that I need to to accomplish my goals.

everyones individual results will vary.. that is anywhere and there are not guarantees in life, so if you expect me to just promise you the world, i simply cannot do that.
however, the training here at WA is cost effective and works. MANY MANY MANY people have done it. You can check out some success stories right here: 2018 - Another Year Of Success Growth At Wealthy Affiliate But it is real. But it does take time and effort. if you are as dedicated to it as yuo say yuo will be, you will be fine. the only way to fail at this is to give up. That may sound cliche, but it s the truth.
I will be your mentor always... im not going anywhere... it pays to well, lol. but this is my life now and it's not going anywhere if i can help it. so i will be here to help you out. promise.

Alright thanks. That sounds encouraging. I appreciate your answer and have high hopes for what what WA has in store for someone like me
I want to thank you. I am glad you brought me here. I plan on making the best use of my time here and the best use of your advice and help.
Two questions I have is how long does the certification training take to complete? I'm in no hurry. However, I would simply like to have an idea of what to expect. Also, when can I start making money. Will it have to be until after the training is completed.
Thanks again Chris.

sounds good Ed, Let me help you if you ever get stuck.
The certificaiton depends on you. I finished it in a week. some people it takes a couple months. So depends on the amount of time you have to do it.
also.. making money depends on you and how much time you can put toward making this work. I know people tha tmake money in their first month of so. then others that go 6 months without a sale.
The thing i find interesting about those that take longer, is that they do not wowrk on this as if it was an actual side business. treat it as such and you will get everything out of it in which you put in.
hope tha tmakes sense.
and no, the money will come once you have a foudation set.

Hey Chris Myles, I have a serious question. I'm considering buying the premium membership.
But after AWOL, I have been so disappointed since it costs a lot money for the next academies (training) and I read reviews claiming that the only way you can make money is by promoting their products, which means you have to lie to others about how good AWOL is, even though it's a scam! AWOL, according to reviews, is also a pyramid's scheme, so I'm honestly just really disappointed and now uncertain of my success in the world of market affiliating.
Anyways, I know that the premium membership is worth it and it offers a lot of features.
But there are a couple of questions I really want you to answer.
1. Based on the data of Wealthy Affiliate, what is the average time it takes until a premium member starts earning profit?
2. Is there a personal coach or more SPECIFICALLY who can I talk to when I am in a situation where my website is not making any money?
3. And how will the coach or that "someone" guarantee my success (which is making money through my website)?
But most importantly, can you PLEASE give me data/statistics on the success rate of premium members earning money in the first few couple of months/

I don't know if you're able to assist me or not.
I have what I believe could be two issues.
1) By accident when I published my "About Me" I did it as a page and not a post. I have since tried to fix it and deleted it on my site. I still of course have it on my "dashboard".
2) The privacy policy I have doesn't appear to be the some one as in the training. Mine starts off, Who Are We.
Thank you in advance with your assistance.

Hi Chris, I want to say that you are the reason I'm on WA at all. I was looking at another place called the AWOL Academy, and it was your review of them, that got me to come check out WA. I like what I'm seeing so far, but here is a question for you. Am I correct in thinking that the WA way of learning and doing this business is without paid online ads? Or is there room to incorporate that into what I will learn here? I use FB ads in another business of mine and I'm not above using them to make things go faster, but I'm just trying to understand the focus here. I look forward to your thoughts. Thank you.
Hi Chris,
I have being following you for a while now and you seem genuine and real and that's why I made this decision. I need someone like you help me out get establish and to make some money.
I'm a single father with 4 children and working hard to support my children. Looking forward to working with you and to have some success.
I already have a website with godaddy, can I move it over?

you do not have to, yuo can leave it at godaddy, migrating a website can be a headache... as long as the site is fast enough, get to learning and you can always move it over later.
but yuo are in a good place, building your blog can be what you need to get a supplemental income. it sure has done it for me and my family.

Hi Chris, I've tried other programs before but have had no success to speak of as of yet. I see the value in what's being offered here so I'll be signing up tomorrow. One thing I've had time to think of is what is the niche I'd like to work on. The only thing that I'm passionate about is the "working from home or online" niche. This seems to be the same niche as yours. Regarding this niche, how do I make money from this niche since I don't have any credibility as a beginner? Am I reviewing companies like WA and then make money from people signing up with them? Lastly, if "making money online" is my niche, does that mean I'm not reviewing products on Amazon like speakers since it's not my niche? Thanks for any help.
BenjisDad

then the affiliate bootcamp would be for you. you will see it when go premium tomorrow.
but that is literally a step by step guide how to crack that niche in record time. Now it is not an easy niche, so it will take you a little time before you start making money with it, but once you do, it's pretty nice.
Once you go premium, i will send you a article that help you break down the niche find a hyper targeted audience and get started.

Howdy Chris,
So I just started posting on my website, but did I read correctly somewhere that I need 1000 words or more? Yikes, I thought less would be more for my website. Oh, and as a starter member I didn't see anywhere in training videos about plugging in an affiliate link to the website. Is this something explored in premium membership?
Hope you are doing well,
Robert

I have my first website setup and I submitted it for feedback. The individual that looked at it pointed out that when they switch from the home tab to the about Gary tab it is ok.
When they go to switch back to the home tab from the about Gary tab it gives them an error message saying that someone might be trying to steal my info from my website.
How do I fix that?

hey gary, i know what is wrong. Looks like you do not have the SSL turned on for your website. It's ok, it is not on by default, but yuo will definitely want to turn it on as it helps your website rank in Google and provides safety from hackers.
Check out this thread right here, you will see in the first comment Kyle explains how to do it, it takes about 2 minutes to do so dont worry. that should fix you right up!

Hey Chris, I clicked the link to your youtube video while researching AWOL training reviews. I'm so glad I did. I also watched a few of your videos. The one that hooked me was the video where way you pointed out how 2 different affiliate marketers used the same house to promote themselves. After seeing that I thought this is the guy I want to learn from. He's honest. I subscribed to your youtube channel and look forward to working with you here at wealthyaffiliate.
I do have one questions about the premium membership. Is there a way to pay for 3 or more months at a time via PayPal to become a premium member? That option would give me 6 months to pay via PayPal Credit.

hi there! yeah, that was a crazy revelation, huh?
Unfortunately, you cannot pay in quarterly increments like that. You can however pay yearly! You actually are in luck, normally the price for premium is $588 yearly, but we are having a black friday sale in about 3 weeks. You will be able to get everything for only $299 per year. (if yuo do it before the black friday deal goes into effect, it is only $359 yearly) so either wya you will be saving a boatload of money
It is absolutely the best deal and the best way for you to be successful wtih blogging because you will be able to get the money behind you and concnetrate on building out your site.
so consider that!

Hello Chris, I have been doing my training and so far everything has been smooth and easy to understand. I just have one questions and maybe it will be answered in the future training but I thought I run it though you first. I was wondering if it is a good idea to create a website that is not directly related to affiliated sales but rather a blog about something I am passionate about and then generating revenue through ads on the site? I figure I would do a fun blog that I can focus on and once it generated traffic make money from it, while also running an affiliated marketing websites. Please let me know your thoughts.

you definitely can create a site about yuor passion.
It may seem like it, but let me remind you that you do not have to create a website promoting affiliate marketing or WA.
You find your passion. find some products that are related to that niche, write some content, wait for traffic and monetize.

Hi Chris. Can you tell me, what is a woo commerce plugin? I have two spots at the top of my web site that say that. Also, is it possible for me to change the theme of my site. Now that I have the content in there I don't really like the way it looks. I also have a page that the text is all large, like the H3 size. I'm not sure how to change it back to normal sized text.

Hi Dina. Woocommerce is a plugin that lets you style your site like a marketplace.
To be honest, I am not 100% familiar with it because all of mynblogs are straight blogs. If you search woocommerce in the search window above, you will see tons of articles on it of people better at it than me.

Hi Chris:
Question for you.
When visiting my website, I noticed that the "Tab" title (or description ?) of my website's (page) has a spelling error.
Thought I could edit this "Tab" within Webpress, but I'm having no luck.
I must not see it or I can't edit my website's "Tab" description/title.
This "Tab" title also shows up when I start typing keywords in the Google search. Google will show the "Tab" title first, followed by my website name/link.
This "Tab" title is not the title of my website, but something else !?
Any suggestions on where can I find this and how to edit this "Tab"(?) title.
Thanks Chris.

The next task is to actually BUILD my website, and I went to the available templates. I am looking for an image of a girl-next-door type who is a bit top heavy, because my niche is bras for big girls. I think I'm over-thinking this process.

I guess I am! I took the day off and went to my knitting group, which consists of a very nurturing kind group of ladies. I needed to do that because I found out 5 or 6 days ago that my son has a brain tumor. That is hugely awful news, but for some reason has not put me off the WA project. I left off last night watching the Build your Website video, and ran down a rabbit hole looking for a picture of a girl-next-door type who was a little overweight. That's when I told you I thought I was overthinking the project. anyway, yes, please, a logo!

Hey Benji, I need your guidance on picking a niche. I cannot decide between Music, Books or Games...It is tough choosing because I am not sure what I would be doing for monetization. Ex say I review/write about a certain genre/style of books/music/games...Im not sure which one (&how;) of the three would translate to $
I also thought about doing something simple in a health category (random ex, face creams) but tbh my desire isn't that strong for it. Any help is appreciated!

You can monetize all those by referring people to Apple. The Apple store had an affiliate program. So does Amazon music.
The games nice you can promote games of of Amazon. Same thing with books.
Do a Google search for your niche + affiliate program and you can find tons of products.

You seem very down to earth and real. I found you through your review of Keala Kanae and I was disappointed to see what they show isn't really the whole truth. So I'm deciding to follow your path.

a) Is there a catch to this whole business?
b) If I follow the steps, realistically, when can I expect to get my first inbound $$$
Please be as real with me as possible! :)

b) again, to reiterate, it largely depends on you. Think of it like building a house. if you put a brick here and a brick there, do not come back tomorrow and expect a house! You will have to build your empire, but once it is built, you can live in your house and enjoy the fruits of your labor!
I will tell you my experience... I made my first sale about 8 weeks in. Was making consistent enough money to to pay for the service month to month in about 6 to 7 months. at about a year, I was making over 1k a month.
I will be here to help you and so will the community! so use us up!

Hey Chris
So I am super struggling with trying to find a relevant topic using keywords such as crystals gemstones pearls. I started off with wanting to describe to readers what the difference is between the three like what's the difference between minerals and rocks what's the difference between crystals and gemstones. So on etc. however when I open Jaxxy to find a relevant keyword phrase that's where I am starting to get frustrated. When I typed in whats the difference between crystals and gemstones there was only one phrase that met my description however it had less than 10 for average and traffic which is a little concerning because it's so low however there was a competition number which is a good thing. But I remembered that the average needs to be at least 30 or more. So then I went back to Jaxxy to re-word my question and the frustration just continued. I tried searching for what are crystals used for for example or how are crystals formed? And even though these are questions asked in "ask the public "I am not finding very good rankings that are meeting the standard that wealthy affiliate sets. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you again,
Sarah

hi sarah...
what you are asking are very normal questions for beginners, so kudos for continuing to think and press forward.
So let me tell you this... do not get hung up on keywords. in your niche, think about what people in yuor niche are asking. Answer that question!
No keyword research tool is perfect, but do not depend on it to the point that it governs your posts, use jaaxy for direction! So even if Jaaxy says there is not enough search volume for a keyword, BUT you KNOW that the keyword is a good one that answers a nagging question in your industry, WRITE THE ARTICLE ANYWAY.
You may ask why is that?
well rememebr the alphabet soup technique? check out the screen shot attached.
look at what Google is suggesting to you... the very phrase "what is the difference between crystals and gemstones" (plus a heck of a lot more stuff... lol) is in that list of google autocomplete
so i hope you can see what i am trying to point out here.
Google is really the only place that knows what people are searching for. so use them along with Jaaxy for your keyword research. Google trumps all when yuo are tryign to rank in google.
now i say all that not to say that Jaaxy is trash or a waste, it gives you great historical informaiton for future keyword ideas... however, it is just a tool to help point you in the right diretion for keywords and keyword ideas.
hope that made sense.

I agree with you with using Google.

Good morning Chris, this is Joe. I know it shouldn't be difficult to choose a website theme, but I can't decide which one to pick. Do you have any suggestions? I want to base my site on Camping products. I'm having a difficult time because I have never done this type of thing before, and I don't know how important the theme choice is.

yeah, i understand the struggle. Just come up with something that is close to you. I would use camp or camping in the title.
tink branding. think of somethign that is easy to remember, easy to say, easy to type, no numbers, no dashes.
something that sticks in peoples mind.
maybe campingrep.com or campingdash.com

Hey Chris,
I'm struggling to find a niche/brand for to start out with. I know that I should pursue and an area that interest me, but quite frankly I'm unsure of what that may be......I'm interested in trading forex on online, learning about finance - in particular being a certified financial advisor (which means that I have to pass the Series 7/63 exams). I studied CCNA in the past to design networks. Maybe I could research and blog about different means to (legitimately) make money online????
So I don't know how to brand my interest. Any suggestion or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

that is one angle you could explore. If you are well versed in Forex or even the CCNA, yuo could start a blog on tips to pass the CCNA.
If you like financial advisor stuff, you could start a blog on the best way to handle finances. I would pick an area like credit card debt, financial planning for the future, whatever aspect yuo like.
All of the niches you stated usually have pretty lucrative affiliate programs, so you are going in a good direction!

Hi Chris:
I do have a Niche idea, which I am using for my website.
"Canadian Home Water and Sewage Solutions".
I know this is a good idea, but it can be a very broad and encompassing area. Lots of products, lots of suppliers and both for home Water and Sewage treatment. Not sure how many products have affiliate programs, etc . . . .
Q: Should this be the name of my first website or is it too broad of a topic and may be misleading ?
Q: Should I just focus on one product (eg water filters) for now and slowly add the rest of the water treatment products and then the sewage treatment products, eventually leading to a BIG website ?
That's all for now Chris, thanks for any advice you may offer.

OK, I've hit a wall. The topic I picked to create my website around did not come up with any affiliates according to my keywords. I didn't get a single response when I did the search on Jaeezy. So now I'm wondering what to do. I find a lot of blogs and article but no affiliates. Any suggestions?

all things herbal (which is also the name of my website). Since I sent this query I've gone to Amazon to see if they carried the products I was looking for. Lo and behold, they do! Go figure. So maybe I was coming at this thing from the wrong direction. What say you?

Chris,
I've made a huge mistake I hope I can fix. So when I first started training I was under the impression that I would be listing product onto a website to be available for a buyers. However I just did my first Feedback on someone's website. after reading the blog I have a better understanding of what our purpose is here are a wealthy affiliate. I began questioning myself when I wrote my first blog about jewelry accessories and equipment. That was when I was asking you what specifically I would be writing about. you expressed that I answer a question that was in relation to my niche. The website domain I purchased earlier in training says beadsandjewelrystore.com I have a few things I need to revise but overall I think I'll be OK except my website domain I think doesn't fit. What do you think I should do?

hey there, i just checked it otu... i think you will be ok, just make the changes as you move forward.
Remember that you are not selling anything, yuo are merely suggesting stuff as you write. I think your keyword research is good. and the writing is pretty good as well. Love the video at the end, that will help your SEO.
so keep going.
You found a questino and you answered it, so keep diving deep and turn your site into the one stop shop for all things beads and jewelry.
I think your domain name is fine. You can still keep working on it... but if you do want a different name, it would be better to make that chnage now and buy another domain rather than do it after the site ages a little, but like i said, i tihnk it is fine.

Hi Chris !
I'm brand new and have been enjoying your videos. Good work.
Got good first impressions of WA so far.
Q1: Once I upgrade to Premium, and establish a website/income, can I then leave WA and withdraw my membership ?
Q2: I get the impression that I build my website for my reviews/advertisements(?) as a WA member. Does that mean WA will own, or always be "affiliated" to my website ?
Q3: Will I ever be able to leave WA and go on my own, when I choose ?
Q4: I am Canadian, do you see any problems with this other than the exchange rate for my membership ?
Q5: I can't find your Part 3 video of your beginners series "Part 3: Keyword Search". Where can I find that ? I have subscribed to your YouTube, and still can't find it !?
Thanks Chris, when you have time, no rush for these answers.

Hi bruce! Glad you are liking it so far. It is the same thing i have used to build https://blog.benjisdad.com, so let's go! lol.
1. you can cancel and leave anytime you want. But if you design a website and cancel, the memebrship covers your hosting fees for the website as well. So if you cancel, you have about 30 days to move your site to another host. That is common for website, you need to hvae them hosted somewhere if you want them to stay on the internet.
2. nope not at all. If you buy yuor own domain, it is your site and no one can take it from you. WA doesnt own any of it at all. You pay for the hosting with your premium membership. If you hosted your site thorugh bluehost or something, that doesnt mean bluehost owns your website, you are just paying to have them house it for people to find on the internet.
Also, you DO NOT HAVE TO PROMOTE WA. That is a common misconception that you absolutely have to promote WA. You promote whatever the heck you want on your website, most poeple that are here DO NOT promote WA. I actually do not recommend it as for newbies, the 'make money online' niche is a tough niche to crack. It can be done, but takes a long time (year to more).
3. Yes, plenty of people leave once their site outgrows WAs host. WA lets you have like 500,000 visitors a month for the flat rate. When people grow bigger than that, they typically move over to a higher priced host. But if you hvae that many visitors, you totally can afford it.
You will ahve to go through the headache of migrating your site to another host, but that is normal anytime you move a website. Most higher priced web hosts will do this process for you or at least help out.
There are no contracts or anything, you can sign up today and leave tomorrow if yuo want. No pressure.
4. Nope, in fact Wealthy Affiliate is based out of Canada. Kyle and Carson and Jay are all canadian! When you do the training, you will definitely be able to tell from Kyle's accent, lol.
5. ummm... good question, let me get back to you. It shoudl be up there.

Hi, Chris. Guess what I asked how not to go pro in my All in One Seo because I can back out of it. I did not pay any monies. These guys just refused to answer. The trainers are so busy up selling indirectly it makes them very rude. I had some bad online experiences already. I can afford that upgrade right now.

So I'm looking at this site https://feltmagnet.com/crafts/basic-tools-for-wire-wrapping-jewelry and I'm wondering if like she I'll be implementing items to buy within my content for people reading my post? I ask because I'm debating weather to use pictures for example to give people a better understanding of what I'm talking about? Or hold off and implement the actual product I'm talking about when I get to that step?
BenjisDad

yeah, I see waht she is doing... isn't is freeing to look at a site and now exactly how they are making money with it? lol.
anyways.... here is the thing. You can include the affiliate links, perfectly ok. As long as you provide good content around it.
if you notice on that article, she has a content chunk of 600 words or so before she even pitches the amazon link.
ANother 650 or so before the next link.
so what I am pointing out here is that she is delivering good value to the reader BEFORE she tries to sell them anything. Remember yuor goal is to HELP not SELL. As you may know, no one likes to be sold to. They want answers to their problems and will look to you to find somtehing that can fix that problem.
so wtih that said, a lot of newer people go overboard on including affiliate links in their posts and that is somethign that good does not like. You need to provide the value first... then provide a helpful link to help the reader accomplish their goal... does that make sense?
so with that said, sometimes it may be better to not include affiliate links early on until you start getting traffic to your site. That is not a hard and fast rule, but remember, if you are not getting traffic anyways, than it wont matter that you do not have affiliate links or not because no one is seeing them to click.
so basically, fi you do not trust yourself to not spam your affiliate links all over your blog posts, hold off for now and create good engaging content that helps and answers questions... then once those posts start getting traffic, go back and add the links.
but if you think you can exercise restraint like the lady in the article you sent me, provide the answer and good content... then slip in a link here or there. people will find it and click it. trust me they will.
pictures are always a good idea, just be sure to use approved pictures from amazon if you are going to use those. Amazon does not allow direct linking to their images. yuo have to use the bar or a plugin that can replicate the listing, similar to what the lady is using on that site.
hope this helps! Keep going with the training! That is the key to success here!

Since I am doing this business with my sister, I was trying to figure out how to do the About Us page. Some of the content can be general such as our goals and how we want to help people but talking about our lives makes it difficult. Do you recommend just keeping the whole page in the "we" form?

Hi Jacy
I think you are getting a little ahead of yourself. What you are describing is covered in the training later on.
Remember it doesn't have to be perfect yet. You won't learn everything at once. It is a process over time, you will know it all. Lol. But be patient and go with the flow of the training

Hey Chris,
I'm having problem with the privacy policy part in lesson 7..
First, the content of the privacy policy in my website is somewhat different from the privacy policy lecture of Kyle..what is written in the privacy policy in my website is..
Who We Are
At themedicaldevices.siterubix.com, we are committed to maintaining the trust and confidence of all visitors to our web site. In particular, we want you to know that themedicaldevices.siterubix.com is not in the business of selling, renting or trading email lists with other companies and businesses for marketing purposes...
is this correct or are they just the same?
Second is that I tried to still use this content in my privacy policy but when I tried to publish it, it says error, that I have the same content...then when I tried to publish again without changing anything, it went through... I'm confused. does that happen all the time?
Please help.. Thank you.

The privacy policy is a Cookie cuttet document. So I'd will tell you that it's duplicate that's ok. Just add King as no other pages are like that.
They will let you post it even if it's duplicate of you push it through twice.
What you did looks right. You Just want to change the website information to match yours.
I think your doing fine. The about me looks great! Love the story. Don't overthink it. You are in the right track. Justin keep following the training. Good job!

Hello Chris,
I finally published my first post. It took me about six hours to do and over a span of a week... so grinding long. Not sure I can write an article a day, although I wish I could.
Would you mind taking a look at my post and give me some feedback? Thanks.

I'll check it out! You will get better. I started off similar and eventually got to where I could punch one or two out a day.
After I started making money with this, I began to contract out some of the article creation . You'll get to that point.
But congratulations!!! Humble beginnings.

Hi Chris,
I know in Kyle's training he talks about not putting links on every page, but I was wondering when you write posts how you do it?
For example, you write a post about 5 certain essential oils and links for each essential oil for that post. Then write another post about diffusers and do the same. Do you need to write some posts without links?

Hello there!
First of all, congrats on keeping up with the training. You are doing so well!!
What he means by that is Google does look down on sites that all they do is provide affiliate links and add no value. As long as you are providing good engaging value and content, then you can put your links on he site.
Another thing that Kyle is pointing out and you will see later on in the training is to have a central review page for your main offer. Then write posts targeting keywords to get traffic and then point them using an internal link to the review.
This will help you not need affiliate links on every page. People will land on your site read your post and then you suggest the go check out your favorite diffuser and link to your review of the diffuser.
Does that make sense? This also helps you have one page where a lot of your traffic is flowing to. You can optimize that page to maximize conversions when people land on it.
That is a bit advanced, and yo will get to it in th training . So keep trucking along!

Hey Chris. So, I am wondering what are your suggestions when it involves promoting affiliate links from a company, but you don't want to centralize earning commissions just from a blog.
Are there alternative ways you know of that could be helpful in promoting a company as an affiliate marketer?

definitely... you generally want to have a hand full of core offers on a site, but you can use affiliate for any other stuff you want and those things add up.
You can do something as simple as just including a link in your blog post, or you can write a separate review for that product and then direct pepole from other blogs on your site to that review.
depends on how ofen you will talk about it and how much you want to push it.
you can also write a few blog posts talking abotu the product and just adding the aff link. but at which point, you could jsut write one good review and just link to it.
does that make sense?

Hi there, I'm new to this I just joined. I just wanted to know how long does it take to actually generate income doing this? I'm trying to figure out if going ahead and getting the premium now or doing a couple of the lessons first and have a feel for it before I decide. I just don't want to invest in something that's not going to help me reach my goals. I'm not looking for a get rich quick thing either so I'm ready to invest my time and learn if I know for sure it's going to be worth it. Thank so much for your help!

Hi Idah... this is not a get rich quick scheme... it will take time to cultivate and get it working. That is no fault of WA, it is how Google works. Google does not trust new sites. So if you have an established blog and adding to it wtih the training, yuo can earn within a day or two. but if you are starting from the bottom, it may take 2-3 months before seeing yuor first sale, but that also depends on how much work you are willing to put into learning.
If you put in the time, similar to what i did, i got my first sale within 7-8 weeks. My first $100/month after about 4 months, my first $500 month around 9 months... by a year, i was making about $2,500 a month. It's been going up constantly since then. that was about 3 years ago.
Now i choose a really tough niche... but its lucrative. if you choose a niche that was not as competitive, you would find success within 6-8 months. checkout this guy right here: Month 7 - $4550 he made $4,500/month in only 7 months.
let me knwo if his helps! I suggest going premium to unlock everything... once you see the value and the hlep that yuo will get to succeed, then go yearly the secodn you have the money to do so, it is half the price of doing it monthly. but if you cannot afford, no worrie,s i payed the $49/month until my site started making a few grand a month, then upgraded to yearly.... yearly is only $29 a month rather than the 49.
just a suggestion. but hit me up if you ever need help. I am always avalable to lend a hand. ill monitor yuor progess and drop you a line every once in a while to make sure you are doing well. see ya!

Hey Chris! Have an important question to ask you.
So, you may have produced a video discussing alternative ways to monetize your blog for example "offervault.com". There may be others. So I guess what I am saying is, what is it meant by getting paid through CPA's and Leads?
What could all this exactly mean?

ahhh... CPA is called Cost Per Acquisition. Typically what that means is you get paid per lead versus making the actual sale.
So most of them say that they will pay yuo a fee for merely getting someone to give up theri name, email, and telephone number.
You can make money pretty good with that since you really do not have to 'sell' anything.
Leads is just another way of calling a potential customer. You have warm leads and cold leads. If you were trying to sell hospital equipment to lawyers, those lawyers would be considered 'cold' leads. If you were selling hospital equipment to doctors... those doctors would be considered 'warm' leads.
So hope that makes sense!

Hi Chris, hope you can help me out. I am trying to develop a niche around the Green Bay Packers as I am a die hard fan. So I want to be able to promote different Packer gear. How would I develop this. I watched the video but just a little confused. If can help I would truly thankful...

Hi Tommie, i apologize for you being a packers fan, lol! Anyways... you would want to become an affiliate of NFLshop or amazon, or anywhere that sells packers gear.
So remember a niche is a group of people. Who else would be interested in packers gear? Write articles targeting those people. THings that they would be interested in. Maybe some history posts? maybe have a news section talking about whats going on with the packers. stuff like that.
In fact, do this... leverage the rest of the community to help you out as well. On the left side, click 'Help Center' and then click "ask a question" this will give you a chance to ask the same questino and see if others can come up with better ideas than even I did for this topic.
Do you know of any packers sites that are similar what you are wanting to build? you can use them as a template and see what kind of content they are creating and getting people to their site.
If you give me an example like that, i can do some research on it for you and return what I find.

As I look for my niche and affiliate programs I run across things like Adklick, Madsense Reborn 2.0, Whale Cash and a fellow by the name of Matt McWilliams that advises to get into affiliate marketing and monetizing my online business. Do you know what these things are. Do they depend on a person alright having a website? Can you give me some insight on these? Thanks

Hi Ralph!
I have not heard of a few of those places.
Keep going with the training and it will be shown to you how to find affiliate programs.
So this is how it works in a nutshell. You choose a niche or something thayt ou are interested in. Let's say it's boxing.
You would niche it down to maybe a certain aspects like boxing gloves.
So now you follow the training here and build a website. You also learn how to attract people that want to buy.
Then the next step is the bestpart . Earning revenue.
Do this: oh to Google and search your niche + affiliate program. For example "boxing gloves + affiliate program"
That will bring up sites that will pay you to sell their prducts .
The most common one is to useAmazon . It converts well and is good for beginners.
Let me know if that made sense! If not, ask away!

Hey! I would stick with one of those... either the basketball or shoes. I would lean torward the shoes. But even then, i would get more narrow.
Remember a niche is a group of people, so basketball shoes for.......who? Find tht crowd and talk directly to them.
That should be good enough to get started.
Also, never worry about if the niche already exists, the training here will teach you how to work around that and still make good money with it. That is called competition.
The good thing about competition is that it tells you that others are making money from it too, so all you need is your slice of the pie! You will be able to do that with my help and the help of the training and community here!
hope that helps!

Hey Chris! I am wondering, I watched your video: 12 Websites = $100/Day and I am looking to create a side website geared towards leveraging from Amazon. Now, depending on the percentage of commission earned and the product itself, what is your opinion if one runs into a writer's block for the product I am running the blog from??
Just may find it difficult to write about something other than niches I am only passionate about?

plan your posts. do all of your keyword reserach first, THEN go a start writing. that way everytime you sit down, you already know what you want to write about. doing it in batches like this is the best way to combat writers block. You can also check out similar sites to your niche and see what they are writing about. they can give you ideas as well.
Run those through jaaxy and see how the competition and traffic are and go for it!
hope that helps!

Hey Chris! I am searching my interest into my favorite niches right now and so practically speaking, I find Jesus Christ to be at the heart of my heart and lifestyle to share His gospel but I certainly DON'T want to come across as sacrilegious and/or promote priestcraft in anyway with my endeavors into this.Sharing about Christ to me seems only feasible in a spiritual yet not a secular or business sense? How could this be done? Thank you!!

Goo Morning Effie! Writing is difficult if you are not used to it.
But believe me, it get's better. Just have to keep plugigng along at it.
As a trick, what you can do is break down stuff into subheadings BEFORE you start writing.
So before you get started, think of 3-5 good subheadings and write those out first.
Then go back and fill in content. if you do about 200 words in each section, you will have a 1000 or so word post broken up into smaller sections.
I remember when I moved from Louisiana to Connecticut, it is a 1500 mile drive.... that I did by myself.
if you look at the 1500 miles, it will depress you or even scare you away. So I looked at it this way... 100 miles to Mississippi, then 200 miles to Atlanta, then 100 miles to South Carolina.
I broke it up into winnable pieces to not make the whole seem as long.
Do the same with your content. Break it up to small bite-sized chunks and go for it.
Hope this helps! Let me know!

Second question is why is there a monthly subscription fee for $49? If I have to, is it just for the extent of llearning to apply what is taught? Would I not learn the opprtunity to grow my own online business and make a full-time career for years in my own terms?

The $49 covers the training and community yes, but it also encompasses your web hosting and 24/7 support, free SSL certificate, comments and weekly live webinars, etc...
it is truly a one-stop-shop, don't really need anything anywhere else.
It covers quite a bit.
I recommend that once you realize that this is good stuff, you can go yearly for $29/month which is a much better value than the $49, but plenty of people pay it too, so it is up to you and what works for what you want to invest in your business!

I just want to make sure I am understanding this correctly...on the use of the Jaaxy / Keywords search tool. If you type in the keyword phrase "snow blowers review" it reveals that Traffic = 17 and QSR= 96. Therefore there are 96 websites competing for this key phrase "snow blowers review" and only the website that achieves the number one position on Google is going to average
