Setting Up a Premium Hub Build: Step-by-Step Guide
Hey Everyone,
In this tutorial, you will learn how to set up a brand-new hub using the premium-level hub build in Wealthy Affiliate. This feature gives you advanced options beyond the starter membership, such as creating a new business, using existing websites, and selecting a niche direction.
Let’s get right into the process.
Step 1: Choosing to Create a New Website or Use an Existing Website
1.1. Decide on Your Website Type
- If you’re creating a brand-new website and niche, select "Yes, create a new website."
- If you want to link an existing website to the hub, select "No, use an existing website."

Step 2: Selecting a Niche Direction
2.1. Selecting a Niche for Your Business
- After choosing the website type, you’ll select a niche direction.
- Any niche has potential since there are billions of potential customers and millions of products to promote online. Select something that interests you.
2.2. Using the Search Function to Explore Niches
- To find niche ideas, type a keyword in the search bar (e.g., "Pilates").
- The system will display various niche options within that category, such as "Pilates for Beginners" "Injury Rehabilitation Pilates" or "Pilates for Athletes"

2.3. Choosing Recently Searched Niches
- You can also click on recently searched options to explore previously viewed niche ideas.
- For instance, if you select "Pilates," you’ll see a list of related business ideas for this niche.

2.4. Viewing Popular Niche Suggestions
- If you can’t decide on a niche, there’s an option to browse a list of popular and lucrative niches. These are curated to provide high-opportunity ideas across various categories.

Step 3: Building Your Website
3.1. Selecting a Domain Name
- After choosing your niche, it’s time to decide on a domain.
- You can use a free domain (under siterubix.com) or a custom domain.
- Note: Custom domains need to be registered here or point to Wealthy Affiliate.

3.2. Recommended: Register Your Domain with Wealthy Affiliate
- Purchasing domains through the Site Domains platform at Wealthy Affiliate ensures they are instantly integrated and ready to use in the hub build.
Step 4: Using an Existing Website for Your Hub Build
4.1. Linking an Existing Website
- If you want to connect an existing website, select the “use an existing website” option and click Continue.
- Choose from your hosted websites and allocate a hub for your selected niche.

4.2. Selecting a Niche for the Existing Website
- Assign a niche to your existing site. For example, if you have a site named 3333.siterubix.com, you might choose Numerology Ebooks and Guides as the niche. That is an example, but your domain would reflect your niche and yoru brand.
Step 5: Finalizing Your Hub Build
After selecting the niche and domain, proceed to finalize your hub setup. Click "Build My Website & Hub.
This completes the foundational steps for building a business around a new or existing website, and you will be off and running with your Business Hub workspace for your existing or new domain.

If I am creating a whole new Niche, should I 'Create a new website' or use the existing one and create a Hub? My new Niche is completely different than my existing niches.
If you are targeting a brand new niche, you will want to create a new Hub with a new website. You don't want to try to create several businesses targeting many different niches within one website.
I hope this clarifies for you Walter, but if you do have any further questions let me know. ;)
Kyle, I've already built my website and have been posting (50 plus) in my chosen niche, affiliate marketing. Could you please explain to me how I must reassess my situation and what actions I must take in order to take advantage of the AI-driven suggestions for relevance which has come to replace the earlier keyword-driven strategies for ranking on Google. Do I, for instance, audit all my previous posts? If so, what tools should I use? Etc. Cheers.
You dn't have to audit all of your previous posts, but if you are not getting indexed and ranking, there is a reason for that and we will need to investigate. You can drop me a PM and I can help you out here, share what you are seeing within Google Console and I will be happy to help you out. ;)
Hi Kyle I have changed my Domain Name ( from aiway2success.com to softshopaffiliate.com )
Now the technical team has reset all the content to this new domain.
BUT in the HUBS and Site Content ALL remains under the old domain name. The BRAND aiwaytosuccess may stay, but the Domain name has to be changed and shown ... how do I do that ? Thanks for your concern.
What you should do is create a NEW hub, and you can choose an existing website and you will be able to connect it to this new site. If you use the MOVE feature, it will automatically switch up your Hub, I am assuming you didn't use the MOVE feature when you originally moved it?
Strange, where you are seeing this. You are definitely P+ so you shouldn't see any upgrades. Do you have 10 websites already?
Let me know if this persists (you can drop me a PM), and I will be more than happy to get you sorted. :)

Hi WA... I have just joined the group for free and I think that is the most wonderful example of legitimacy that I have ever seen on this countless times of looking for a niche or anything to make money in this and I'm looking at it more and more and realizing that this is the only program that has actually done this promotes this or does anything that shows you how to actually do the job.
So if you would please give me a chance to actually advertise you on tiktok as well let me know my site and let me know if you give me permission or any details that you may want me to add anything like that and I will do it because I think this is an amazing opportunity and the only one out there advertising this as well I really hope this is legitimate because I believe in this I know there's money out there to be made and I just pray to God that I have found the site that can change my life and it will prove me that I was right the whole time for anyone who has told me that this would never work I believe that they just don't believe in me or they just don't want it to work because they didn't think about it jealousy and be human nature something that we all possess but when it comes to something like this I don't possess that for other humans so please don't possess it for us because I will advertise my ass off, for you sorry for the language. Please let me know at my email or write me back as soon as possible and thank you so much for this wonderful opportunity because if you hold my hand and show me the way I swear to God that I will for the rest of my life make sure that you guys look wonderful that would be my mission in life because I actually found and honest platform that is so hard to find nowadays that can actually prove that this is actually real.
Sincerely and so much love xoxo,
Tami
You can promote WA wherever you like Tamara. If you click on the $ icon in the header, you will find that you can grab your affiliate link, and that is something that you will be able to share on tik tok or elsewhere (even as a Starter member).
Great to have you here and if you need anything else as you move forward, just let us know. ;)
