I have gathered some “must-read” tutorials and would like to share them with newbies like myself – by newbies I mean those who knew nothing about building a website before coming to WA. These tutorials are, of course, in addition to Kyle’s Getting Started course, and his Affiliate Bootcamp course if you are going to do Bootcamp. Both of these courses would have gotten you to the stage where you would have set up your website, be it a free one or a bought one, got yourself a niche, written your site contents, have some articles approved and published, etc. If you are not following what I am talking about, please click the green tab marked “Get Started Here”, or the black tab marked “Affiliate Bootcamp”, on the left-hand menu after you signed in. Complete either of these courses, then come back to my list below.

1. Keywords and Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)

To further understand what these are all about, e.g. how many times you should include your keyword(s) in your writing, how do you get your keywords ranked, how does Google’s search engine actually work, etc., read Dom’s (@DomW) tutorials as follows :

and his short follow-up :

(Thanks Steve for pointing me to these.)

2. After your website is set up and published, you need to link it to the Google search engine. There are three things you need to do to achieve this, and Craig (@Welshy) has made a clear and concise tutorial covering all three under one roof. Here is the link : https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/training/how-to-set-up-google-authorship-verify-with-webmaster-tools-google-analytics

(Thanks Rich for pointing me to this.)

3. Always read the comments beneath any tutorials. From these comments (or questions) and the author’s response, you will inevitably learn more about that subject.

Oh – there is one more : if you are just starting out and have a lot of questions about WA, read Wealthy Affiliate Frequently Asked Questions by DomW https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/training/wealthy-affiliate-frequently-asked-questions

This will save you having to ask these questions at Live Chat or start a Discussion.

Hope you find this of help.
