Once you have found an appropriate niche (one which you have a genuine interest in and is relatively profitable in terms of online business) its all about consistently taking action. This is not always as easy as it sounds, and there will be some days when you really don't feel like creating content for your site. The key is to find methods that help you to push past any resistance that arises and keep moving forward. Also, embrace the challenges that arise and learn to see them as positive. Its the challenging aspects of online business that cause others (your potential competition) to throw in the towel and walk away. If you manage to overcome the inevitable obstacles that crop up along the way you will find the success that you are looking for. I wish you all the best for you online business journey.

Hello, Paige. Welcome to WA! Knowing nothing about your background and experience, advice is a little tough. But you're here at WA, and I can try to help you there. First of all, please understand this is not a get-rich-quick scheme. It won't make you rich overnight, but neither will any of the scams promising that. It will take time. So, here's my advice: Start with the Certification Training, follow it step by step, and don't skip any along the way. It's like school, but your "homework" is all done right here. WA will provide everything you need to succeed, but they can't give you the will, the determination, or the desire to learn and apply the teachings. That's all up to you. In addition to the WA training, you'll find a community of 1,000's of members willing to help you when you have a question, or get stuck. Many of them have created teaching guides and videos, and they're all free for you to use anytime you choose.
Don't get discouraged if the money doesn't start flowing in immediately. How quickly anyone starts seeing revenue varies wildly from one person to another, and a lot of that is a result of the time and effort invested in training.
I'll try to help you in any way I can. If I don't know the answer, I can point you to it, and learn something myself along the way.
Do you know what you plan to market? Your niche?

I'm currently trying to find my niche :) Thank you for the warm welcome. I put above in my info what experience I do have. Cold-Calling, inbound and outbound calling and I am ready to find my own money making it off "big" name highlights in the internet world. (Weight loss, how to get rid of pain) seems to be where it's at. That and VR (Virtual Reality). The Social Media Sites and Google is where I want to market from. I'm going through the videos now :)

Some members become paralyzed while looking for a niche. What I did was create a website about something I know a lot about, so that I could write articles and posts. If you're a Starter, you can create two websites. As a Premium member, you can create up to twenty-five. The reason I did that was to continue training with a site to work on, and I didn't want to research a niche before I could even begin training.
You might consider a training site for yourself, using what you know best. Teach people how to talk on the phone, or teach would-be telemarketers the skills they need to succeed.. You've been there, done that, got the T-shirt, right? Just an idea to help you get started. If you don't want to work with what you know, work with what you really enjoy, or are truly interested and/or involved with.
Just do it! Lol Sometimes getting started is the toughest part. And remember that help and advice is as close as the white box straight above this column, where it says "search for help here"
We are all on your side.

I appreciate the amazing advice :) I've been in the business of the weight loss and pain relief for a while. (That's what I sold including male enhancement as well) Even though I'm not a expert at these I'm trying to make a career out of something that reaches a huge audience. I know doing a passion or something you're interested in is important, but making money is where my passion is and I am sure you can relate. I would love to do blogs and posts but I would want to also make money off the traffic and products online already. Do you have any advice cause I have made a year long goal to get started and start making decent money if not a career in working my job I currently have AND making a continuous money flow through my online business. I'll get through these lessons. I already work 40+ hours a week and it's barely putting food on the table so as I am talking to you I am actually on calls haha. I'm taking these lessons on here and doing research while I'm working through my current job at Spectrum.

I'm getting the premium account and I would love to work with you some more. I appreciate you reaching out cause I need some sort of support. My boyfriend in high school made a business out of online marketing. He was actually the CEO of Elite Marketing. He passed away 7 years ago and I want to firmly follow in his footsteps and have the same motivation and determination he had. This is very important to me and has been a underlying dream for a while now and I am just ready to put in the work and time I can to build my life for my beautiful daughter.

Great goals, Paige! I tend to "tell it like it is", and I'll do the same with you. WA is not a program that will start producing income for you right away. I think some people join, then drop out once they realize that. It's a TRAINING program, period. It will give you all the tools you need, but it takes time just to finish the courses.
You may have a head start on me if you're already familiar with the tools. For me, everything from Wordpress to Google rankings was brand new to me, so I've had to learn all that as I study. It slows me down, for sure! Lol I would hate to see you delay starting your training while you try to find a niche. If you know enough about any subject to create articles or blogs, use that for training, even if your niche ends up being something totally different.
But, it WILL take some time.

Frank

Time and effort is a mandatory :) And the training is enough in itself. I am just getting accustomed to the tools online. Haven't ever managed it before so it's all very new to me as well! I'll start a niche on the things I know while I work on promoting WA. I'll try and work both sites. Thank you for the pointers :) I might as well start with something I know very well then navigate through other things and products. So I guess animals, beauty products are very good as well and anything in technology (a little iffy with that one) but it pulls a big audience. Anything can generally be a niche and has an audience so as I work on my website I'll create blogs and such on that as a practice. So getting traffic is your best bet?

And is there any way to speed up this process? Obviously learning takes time. I don't want to cram too much on my plate but I want to get ahead as quickly as possible.

Traffic is the key to everything, Paige. But you (and me, too) need to learn how to get traffic. I've been reading these posts for awhile, as well as heeding Kyle's advice. They all say the same things - do not start Affiliate Bootcamp without completing Certification. I made the mistake of creating one website, then realizing that another niche appealed to me more, so I created another site. Now, between writing content for two sites and working on the training, it consumes my entire day, and I'm retired!
If I were doing it again, I would only have one website to work on until I can finish all the training, then Bootcamp, because WA promotion is my goal.
Animals or beauty products should both be good niches. I didn't want to try writing articles that required research. Not enough time! About traffic - you could have the absolute best product, and the best website, but if no one ever sees it, what good is it?
Keep learning and plugging. It will come.

Frank

I haven't found a way to speed up the process. Again, in these posts I keep seeing people who have skipped lessons, then got lost and had to go back. But you could certainly ask that question in Live Chat. The answers should be interesting!

Frank

I just re-read your previous comments. If you are already familiar with weight loss and pain management, either one is a good niche. Weight loss is huge, but there's also lots and lots of competition. Have you tried Jaaxy for keywords and website info?
But it needs to be one or the other. Just focus on one.

Frank

That's what I am going to do :) I've been working on my page already. I'm trying to at least configure on beauty tips and tricks. Weight loss is a huge industry but it also has a huge audience as well. I sold weight loss and pain management at my previous job. If I could get better at the whole web page and blogging my ideas or making a message for my audience I'll move on from that. I think I'm going to use Youtube, making videos, Twitter making it public and my facebook to reach out to the people I already have on there.
