Truth About Bootcamp
So, I've been doing bootcamp more now rather than my niche site and I can honestly say that I had more fun doing the niche site but I'm always eager to learn more about writing a website based on promoting WA. In my opinion, if you want things easier, go the bootcamp route, but if you want more of a challenge and variety, go with creating a niche site. A niche site can have so many benefits like the freedom to write about what you want to write about and what you want to sell. In bootcamp training, they specifically tell you what you SHOULD write about. NOT what you have to write about. I found out that many people think by joining bootcamp, they are signing their creativity away and out the window when that isn't the case at all.
When I first started, I thought so too. I thought that when I do bootcamp, I would have to make a website only talking about WA when it became so much more than that. I kept going on in the lessons and my mind was filled with ideas. I ended up creating a site called www.redefineprofits.com if you guys are eager to check it out. This site didn't take too much researching, in fact, most of my research was done by going to my rank and looking through the people that are on rank 3 to 200 and looking at their websites, how it is structured and how is the content. Most of those people have a niche site and a site where they promote WA and looking through high ranking people with their sites promoting WA really go my mind turning and my idea came up. I basically created a site on showing people the beginning steps in creating a website through wealthy affiliate. Since, I have all my research found in WA, it became pretty easy to write up articles and create web pages, my main concern at that point was how to structure the web page.
Bootcamp in its entirety is really a starting pad for you, all your research is basically done on WA and all you have to do is piece it together to make a functioning website that looks great with great content. [Don't plagiarize content!]. Here are some key points on bootcamp
- It is a starting place where most of your research is basically done for you
- Might be easy in the beginning but becomes more opinionated when you write blogs on the site
- Many topics to choose from from one broad topic but they related to promoting WA for example -
- How to create a wordpress website? Link to WA by eventually talking about how WA uses wordpress to build the website.
- How to avoid Scam? Link to WA by talking about how WA isn't a scam.
- How to choose the best theme? Link to WA by talking about how many theme options there are on wordpress and siterubix
- How to write good content? Link to WA by talking about how WA has a welcoming community and how WA has great content on how to write good content
- How to create a niche site? Link to WA by talking about the whole unit on niche sites and also if you have a niche site, you could use your site as an example.
- More straightforward than creating a niche site
- There is a large community of people that know a lot about bootcamp and they can assist you, whereas if you ask the people on WA about e-commerce or how to lay something out to do with products, many of them draw a blank.
In a final note, bootcamp is a great tool to use to start your website venture, it requires less googling and you-tubing and more looking at articles and learning from them to create your own site based on what you have newly learned.
I hope this post has helped you in deciding on whether to go with the niche site or the bootcamp site, or help you think of more ideas to put on you bootcamp site.

Your blog says it all. What I liked the blog is that it really sounded as though you have experienced it verbatim and your putting words to your experience with boot camp and niches. Sharing the information gives folks a feeling that hey maybe I am on the right. That is a feeling that is important for them to gain .
well thank you very much for the review, I always thought that people have been writing tutorials and diy's but not a lot of people are connecting with the regular beginner. I hope this blog helps them, if not, just nudges them to think more clearly. But, thanks again XD
Really nice and detailed blog. You really have some captivating details, I think it is definitely well structured. I definitely learned about from bootcamp and the program by reading it. Good Job.
