Domain Name!

Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

I want to talk about a mistake made by Wealthy Affiliate that has set me back months in my work and progress. When a new member joins Wealthy Affiliate and starts getting into the world of Affiliate Marketing and building a website, the most important thing WA should do is guide you on how to choose the right Domain Name for your website!

This is a very fundamental thing, and I believe it needs to be changed. You will never see progress with a bad domain name for your website. While the domain name isn't the most critical factor, it's part of the entire package that WA teaches you, and I think they do a very good job overall. But this issue with the domain is crucial—I genuinely believe that.

I created a website when I first signed up with WA, and the domain name of that website is really bad for various reasons, reasons we should be taught from the beginning! You will never see progress, even if you have very good keywords and overall good SEO, compared to other websites that have equally good SEO and keywords but a much better domain name.

I wanted to share my opinion on this matter and would love to hear your thoughts as well, so feel free to comment below! :)
