It is not for beginners!!!!

For new members your focus should be on:

1.Your Niche – find one, get a website name for it, pick a theme;

2.Create your About and Privacy pages;

3.THEN write your first review (affiliate linking) using the techniques you have learned here at WA;

4.Create your Street Article (or other niche group place) – non affiliate linking using the SAME techniques as your review but on a different topic within your Niche without a “sales pitch” or affiliate link;

Ready to put this into action?

5.Then repeat step 3 and 4 three more times; and

6.Once you have your website setup and you have articles and reviews out there – using what you learned in WA bootcamp and training load to you website!!!!

Now when you want to know who is visiting your website ……

Let me tell you what I learned from trial and error being a member here and Google Analytics. First you need to watch this training video more than once, just watch, don’t do it as you watch (my first mistake). https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/training/adding-google-analytics-to-a-wordpress-blog

DO NOT CREATE AN ANALYTICS ACCOUNT RIGHT NOW!!!!! Just be comfortable with the video and understand what he is teaching you.

Next login to your email account (whatever the one you used for WA), in another new screen be in your WA account and go to the Admin of your website.com, add the Google Analytic Plugin. Here you will be asked to download the plugin. Once it is downloaded and installed (activated) you will be asked to verify this installation of Google Analytic.

YOU MUST VERIFY the account BEFORE YOU CAN create the Google Analytics Account to use ….. (my second mistake).

Once you have Google Analytics installed and verify you can create your Google Analytics Account at:

Now you are ready to copy and paste your tracking code into your website header as instructed in the first video mentioned here.
