Hi Paul, working and building up your website is more important than the WA rank. I wasn't trying for it, it was the help I gave that got me there. While I worked on my website looking for answers to issues, I shared everything which in turn helped others.

Many here work and do this part time so it isn't easy. You are new and your website comes first, and getting through the lessons is #1. It's what we all came here for, our websites that rank is a distraction.

Have a great weekend!

Patsy

Hi Ron, thanks for all you have stated I appreciate it :D

Here is to your success as well!

Patsy

Hi Susan, I was just on your profile page then saw your message here, thank you!

Long gone are my Ambassador days, I'm not on here as much with having so much to do outside of WA.

I see you did found my Pinterest blog ;)
You will love it for sure!

Thanks for your wishes, I wish you the same and am happy we are following each other here :D

PM me if you need any help, have a great upcoming week!

Patsy

Hi Ray, we are not allowed to leave our website links in comments or on WA posts. I am aware of CBD, many have that for their niche.

Thanks for the heads up.

I wish you great success!!!

You are welcome, and thank you :)

Hi Scott, thanks.

I always post my progress, milestones or anything new I find to share. Lately it's been for social media which is really important.
You can find my posts on that if you scroll down my profile page, they are listed there. I posted one this morning :)

Hi Heather,

Interesting work that you do.

My Dad doesn't do any of that. He gets his orders whether residential or business and cuts the stone to custom fit for each job. I call it landscaping artwork, he creates beautiful and very unique work. He has his stone quarry on the Island and it's fascinating there!

Its nice he's his big rock for his daughter. Thank you for the clarification. The island is beautiful. I got my first moose experience there. I only found out a couple of years ago the three of them were moose, LOL.

Manitoulin Island I love and haven't been there in years.

I want to go hang out with my Dad at his Quarry before he retires, hopefully soon seeing he is close to 90 years old!

What did you think they were before you found out they were Moose? A Moose is scary MASSIVE I've seen them close enough while driving by and was shocked at how huge they are.

Omg so flipping cool! Are all his pieces expensive? I love stuff like that been thinking of making that my niche. Does WA have product like that? I don't know what to sell? Do they sell services? Artwork? Can you point me in the right direction? I'm so excited I can't wait to start. I have an eight yr old he keeps me busy but I have a lot of time to put towards WA. Best wishes-Dan

Hi Dan,

I know how you feel being a new member and couldn't wait to start as well.

I'll leave you with this link to get you started. Once you do, it will help you to find a niche and create your new website! Online Entrepreneur Certification - Getting Started Level 1 At the end of each lesson there is a help forum if you have any questions.

I just looked at your profile, and it looks like Michelle is your sponsor, you joined through her. She will guide you and Kyle will as well.

The whole community is here for you :)

Wishing you all the best!

Thanks!

An Ambassador isn't any different than any other member except for how much help and how active they are. I used to be more active a while back.

March 10th..no wonder yes I agree :D your birthday is my lucky charm!

It takes time and patience but goes by fast you'll see.

Patsy

Hi Madek, thanks.

We aren't allowed to leave our links in comments or WA posts because it looks like we are promoting ourselves. We add them to our profile, bottom right hand side under 'Follow Me On'.

While you have it up I'll follow you on G+ :)

I went to G+ and I'm already following you, and remembered I have been since shortly after I joined G+ in the lessons :)

I still 'like' your posts there when I see them.

Great, Patsy!

This website is not addressed toward profitable goals. It's destined to help people to turn their lives around for the better. See you on G+! Wish you the Best in your marketing venture at WA. You rock! Cheers, again!

Madek

Thank you :)

Hi Tom, you are welcome.

It sounds like you are both doing well! Taking things step by step and not rushing is best.

I wish I joined social media sooner but I'm there now and starting to do well. I have a few social media WA posts I've shared as I learned along the way to help other members. I also have other posts with different topics that may be of help now or later.

Thanks for the compliment, I appreciate it :)

You are welcome!

There is a big difference having a community for help. I can't imagine not having one, there is no way I would still be trying on my own. I barely had any computer skills when I joined.

You will see how fast it goes by, being here for one year still seems unreal for me :)

Hello Mojalefa, thank you!

I started to write my blogs while working on my website when I had issues, and in turn they helped out many members as well. I also like to share milestones for encouragement.

It's a lot of time and work but it goes by fast!

Thanks for your great comment, and I wish you all the best also :)

Hi Carol, haha! George is too funny.

Thanks for your kind words, I appreciate it :D

Wishing you all the best!

George likes it, too!

I bet he does! :D

Have a great week, Patsy. Carol (and of course Bigfoot George with the 6 toes on each front foot!)

Thanks Carol, wishing you and Bigfoot George the same :)

You are welcome and thank you!!

You made my night with your generous and kind words :D
I appreciate it very much!

Hi Delores,

At the top right hand side of the post there is the little arrow click on it and hit delete :)

Let me know if you need more help, I can send you screenshots as well. It's better to PM instead.

Have a great night!

Thanks Patsy. I am going to try it now. Sorry I thought I use the PM. Thanks. Have a good night.

You are welcome and no worries about messaging me here. For help it's best in PM especially if we need to exchange links etc... Have a good night as well and let me know how you make out :)

Hi, welcome back. It's funny how things can work out.
As long as you are happy with this outcome it's all good.

I'll leave you with the most recent updates: A Brand New Blog Experience at WA Marks the Beginning. Email Marketing Strategies & Trends for 2018 I'm here if you need any help :)

Thanks and I wish you the same, good luck with all of your business endeavors.

Patsy

Well, I went premium. We'll see if I go another round next month or even go yearly. See you around.

Congratulations! and thanks, you are my first referral. As an older member you know your way around and as I already mentioned, I'm here for you if needed :)

Wishing you success with WA :)

Hi Ingo, cute picture of yourself :)

We are not allowed to leave any links including our website or social media on our profiles or on any WA blog posts we write. The rules state it's promoting ourselves.

There is a place on our profiles where we leave them, bottom right hand side under 'Follow Me On'. You will find many members don't leave their links there by preference.

There is a SiteComment and SiteFeedback forum for us to use, if you click on the blue SiteRubix button a menu comes up and both are listed there.

There are members that still don't know the rules for this and will leave comments on WA blog posts to check out a website.

Any website or social media you state in a WA blog post, you need to refer members to your profile page to view them, so you need to remove the links from there, telling members to go to your profile.

Patsy

Hi, Patsy

Sorry for my mistakes, I didn't know.

I definitely will follow the rules here.

I just wanted to get more in contact with the community and show my little success so far, with the WA ;-)

Cheers, Ingo

Hi Ingo, no need to apologize.

I did the same by leaving my website URL in a blog post shortly after I joined and that is when I was told. Many members do this and it will be ongoing.

This is why those forums are in place for anything we need :)

Hi Doug, I only know what I have experienced for my own website. Not everyone has the same knowledge and learning will be ongoing even for members who have been here for years.

The best thing to do is follow the certification lessons carefully. I took notes it helped at the end doing the tasks. There is a forum below each lesson also for help with that one.

When I joined I barely had any computer skills so it wasn't easy for me. The blogs listed on my profile here, most I wrote while doing the lessons to get help and in turn they helped many members.

I'm at my busiest now and not on here that much. I write a blog for a success as encouragement or if I find something that may be of help to other members.

Just take your time and go through the lessons it's the best to do right now.

Hi Dennis, you are welcome.

Bullies like that have issues and like to control others.
You are correct that my upbringing didn't prepare me for it and it doesn't happen to everyone.

No one can bully me now! and this is where I am meant to be with an online business who caters to the whole World so it's great.

Thanks and I wish you the same, all the best on your journey here as well :)

Hi Yemi thank you, and you are welcome.

When I joined I became a premium member within a couple of days and got my domain name. I thought why wait?

I'm glad I answered your question about what an Ambassador is and it's no different than anyone else. They are just more active :)

Hi Bob thank you for the nice message, I appreciate it :D

It's easy for some to get carried away with the community, live chat etc...and not spend time on their websites.

We came here to build a business and that's what the focus should be on.

You are welcome, see you around!

Patsy

Hi Jill, thank you for all you have said here. I appreciate it.
I'm not sure which Lauren you are referring to. I know who 'laurenJean' is by her profile name if it's the same one.

It wasn't long ago that this was all new to me, but it goes by really fast!

We aren't following each other so I'll follow you and we can get each other's email updates.

Thanks again!

Hi Patsy, You are perfectly correct, it is LaurenJean. It is all so new and I forgot to touch the follow bar but I have now so am following you and pleased to do so,

Am looking forward to getting your e mail updates,

TThanks for following me.

Kind regards, Jill

Aha! that's awesome.
Lauren is great but you already knew that :)

I have plenty of blog posts to the right on my profile age here with lots to learn.

You are welcome and thanks again :)

Hi Patsy. Looking forward to learning from following your blogs. Have a great day. Kind regards Jill

Thank you Jill!

You are so kind :)

Have an awesome day. Jill

Thank you! wishing you the same Jill :)

Hi Linda,

Sorry to hear about your legal mess, it's great that you are back.

Thanks, it's been on going hard work while I managed to help others but it keeps getting better!

Thanks for a "hey" back.

Its just an ONward and UPward attitude that keeps me going, and I agree, with time and some of that hard work you mentioned the getting better just keeps getting better and better. "-)


May your day be filled with splendor!

Linda

"Its just a thing" and as I have never been one to quit I'm just jumping back in and working again. Not afraid of work, certainly not a lazy bones so I'll get there.

I appreciate your response and will keep on the lookout for the good things you create.

Linda

Hi Linda, I have not created anything lately, except the recent blog posts as they come up.

I wrote many mostly at the beginning and ongoing later. I like sharing what I learn to help out my fellow members.

I updated my profile letting anyone who reads it know I'm not as active here. My website has matured to the point where it's keeping me busy with other things, and not just building it.

I have many WA posts listed on my profile here that cover a lot of topics for help so there isn't much more for that to add. You can tell by the title if you need one for help.

I'm only going to post milestones for encouragement and the odd one like the recent information on Social Media.

Patsy

Thank you Patsy! I will most certainly keep all of what you have shared in mind. As your website is doing well that in and of itself is very encouraging. Much to learn still for me and I appreciate you sharing your insights.

Linda

You are welcome,

I shared an awesome WA blog post today!
I'm so happy with the results. This is how we all learn.

I can't leave links in comments but it's to the right here under 'My Posts' the first one :)

Hi Jay thanks! and welcome to WA. I just followed you here.
I've been to North Bay many times over the years. It is an awesome venture here as you will soon find out!

Wishing you much success with WA :)

Hi Wayne that's awesome, it's never too late to start!
Thank you for following me, I'll follow you back!

Wishing you a Merry Christmas and healthy, prosperous New Year :D

Hi Cecil I see you just joined today, welcome!

There is a 'search for help here' bar above on this page.
Enter your inquiry for example success stories can be one, and you will find plenty of highly successful members here. Many have been here for 10+ years and...many have become successful within their first year. There are over 1.2 Million members here so there is a reason for that.

You can't judge just by looking to see who made what amount of money without doing a search for it. They are written in Blog Posts and if a member decides to update their progress with $$$$ then they will.

There is a lot of work to be done to get there, starting with the Certification Course where you are taught how to do this. You build your website, fill it with quality and helpful content, then it takes time to get traffic to your website and build trust. It's a process and with time, patience and positive thinking you will become a success story like many thousands have become here.

Of course people just joining won't be anything YET, they have to work for it. I'm not getting people to join, I have my own website. They join with whatever method they did taking the chance to become a success.

Kyle, founder of WA left you a message on your profile along with Eddy to help you get started. It's up to you to get started :)

Hi Brad hahaha!
Thank you for warming me up, it worked :D

It's 'only' -19C right now, better than -35C.
If there were any paint drops on that lid, you must have colored eggs :)

Too hot to go outside to fry em'

Next best thing....window sill.

Maybe if I shave my head I can fry them on that

It's your call :D

You are welcome Jan.

I'm still not done and have a long way to go. People look at the Ambassador list and assume we've made it but it's not so.

I am not sure what the meaning of the Ambassador is. However, it is an accomplishment here at WA according to the rules the administrators have set up for that position.

Anyway, it is an accomplishment here at WA.

Who have made it who hasn't is only from the perspective of the viewer as we have no idea of the final goal for each individual at the Ambassadors list.

<!>Jan<!>

Thank you very much, I appreciate it :D

We are inspired by Patsy too! Best of luck on your journey :)

Hello Fiona, thank you!

Welcome back, at least you are here and continuing with your website now. It does take quite a while to get going and to the point where we actually get traffic. I'm not there yet with 'outside' organic traffic except for the handful from family or friends.
I have patience knowing it takes months.

We have had so many new things added over the last couple of months. Catching up with those will take a while.

I had a couple of huge setbacks and feel behind but I shouldn't because I couldn't help it.

Thanks for stopping by and leaving your comment, I appreciate it :)

So to generate outside organic traffic are you working Google Plus? Or what are you doing?

I gave my website address to a few friends, family so those are organic and I'm also on Google+ where I share each published post. Not sure if anyone there has gone to my website.

Hi Sanna, thanks.
I am grateful for the family experiences and it's too bad I got bullied but, they will get what is coming to them. Actually a few have while I was still there ;)

Yeah, they will get back what they offer to the world. One of my work bullies got fired for some reason or another after I had left that workplace, and I felt kind of good because of that when I heard...
But better things are coming to both of us now! :)

Hi Chris, thank you :)

I wasn't expecting to end up on the Ambassador list. I write blog posts for my issues to help myself while I work on my website, and in turn they have helped many members. This is how I got there.
Once I won't have as many issues (I hope) then I may taper off the list.

It is a Blessing for sure to help this way, I go to live chat when I have time to help out also. I have been helping others since I was little.

You are one for helping out also!
I spent many weeks and nights helping out Mark with his website for issues he was having, and pointing out what he has missing there that he wasn't aware of.

Yesterday I took a peek at his site to see how he was progressing and saw the newer theme. It's in another language and most of it was kind of a mess, so I sent him a PM inquiring what was going on. I saw you had a page or post about yourself and didn't 'get it'. He told me what was going on, so I understood it.

I can't wait to see the final result. I haven't gone back to look again and will when he lets me know it's ready. He knows how much I like his website it's a great niche :)

Mark is an excellent person with a heart of gold. Yesterday was the first day I had started the web design and Mark's site will be totally unique to the online community as there will not be another website like his in its totality. His website will also flow right due to the proper use of link juice and with his talents will be extremely profitable.

I wish my spirit was always as tender, loving and real as Mark's. He is a giant of a man.

I do not know at what point you saw the website and I should of placed maintenance on it as what you saw was placeholding dummie text and other place holders which has to be used during the creation of the website due to the fact that the client is not there and something has to fill these areas in until he is with me to change things out.

To see a website in the throws of something as difficult as a complete web redesign overhaul is like trying to make since of a beautiful tapestry by looking at the jumbled and tangled multi colored threads of the bottom.

With dummie text and buttons not connected and asking him where to link them it must have been a shock.

Be blessed.

He sure does have a heart of gold. He works hard and has been on overtime for weeks. He is burned out and needs a break.

I saw the website at the same time it is now yesterday. It's almost 3:30 pm here now. I was just concerned that it was public in that shape although he doesn't have a lot of traffic yet.

I agree, he will be profitable it's a great niche as I mentioned, unique and has so much potential.

Thanks again Chris for your comment on my profile. I apprediate it and am looking forward to seeing how the website looks!

Thanks Sherry, still a newbie but have a lot of patience, hope and Faith!

Hi Pernilla,

You are welcome. There is no time limit :)
We have other things on the go. I'm happy to be following you also.

Thank you, we will both be successful being here at WA :)

Hi Brett,

Of course I would have answered your question without you asking. That is why there is a community here. To help.

You don't have to follow anyone, just don't click on 'follow'.
You can try and do this on your own.

You can also just choose those you feel can help you and in turn you can help them if needed.

Following each other helps us learn together.
When I post something the members who follow me get an email. When those I follow post something I get an email. If you see it may be of help then read it. I go through my emails and ONLY keep the ones that will be of help to me as I learn. Also, to reply to comments other members leave on my posts etc.

Once we are finished the lessons, we continue to learn. Not everything is covered in the lessons but the basics needed.
The community is of great help to us because we can all relate with trying this on line business and we help and support each other. We are not alone :)

When I joined I have very little computer skills. I used my laptop to write the odd email to someone or use it to 'Google' what ever I need. That's it.

I built my website from scratch by myself. You can look at it by scrolling down my profile page all the way to the bottom right hand side, where you will see 'Follow Me On'.
I did this o my own and am very proud of myself. Of course I had help along the way.

You can ask for help in the 'search for help here' bar above, use live chat for quick responses also, if you don't find your answer just write a blog post asking it. Also, while doing the lessons at the end of them you will see an area below where you can ask for help with that lesson.

I took detailed notes which really helped a lot especially when you have to do the tasks at the end of each lesson. Step by step, taking my time.

I have written over 100 blog posts for issues I've come across along the way and this way we all learn together. Check them out, you will see what I mean.

This is how I got up to being and Ambassador, by my helpful posts alone. I don't want to be on the Ambassador list, I wasn't expecting to and once I won't need to write as many blog posts, I will eventually fade off there. I am NOT here to help others alone, but to work on my website and have a business.

I have been here for only 5 months and am still learning. Lots of ups and downs, you have to have patience.

You will always be learning, even those who have been here for many, many years are still learning.

At least here at WA, you have everything covered, the best place out there especially having the owners Kyle and Carson who are hands on, you see them helping us out every day! Mainly Kyle while Carson works on the behind the scenes stuff.

It's well worth trying this out.

Patsy

Thank you very much for your great help Patsy . I will follow and hope to interact more with you as the months pass .

You are welcome, I suggest you start with the Certification lessons located at the top left corner 'Get Started Here' green button.
Follow the steps and don't skip any. Just keep going.

Hi Shawna,

I have no idea, I haven't needed the use for one and don't know what it is. Unless you need something like this you wouldn't know. There are so many themes you would have to test a few to see what they have.

The best thing to do for questions like that is enter it in the 'search for help here' field bar at the top of this page.
You can also write a blog post asking, this is a great way to get answers from others who have one.
Also, the 'live chat' is great for quick answers.

You also learn in the lessons on how to find themes. I see you have a badge for lesson 1. There is a lot of information in the lessons that you will need, no matter how much experience you may have. There are several more lessons to go.

When I was searching for my theme at the beginning and found one, after a few weeks it wasn't working for me. I went on a search for a new one and most don't always state what's available in them.

Ambassadors don't know everything, we are all still learning.
It's from experience that we help the best that we can.
I wasn't expecting to become one, I'm still working on my website. It's my helpful blog posts that I write while I work on my website that not only help myself from answered received, but helped many members so far.

I would do a search in the 'search for help here' bar first asking something like 'Are there any user friendly slider themes?'.
If you don't get the answer you want then write a blog post asking the same question.

I find that at times I don't get the answer I need because the members don't know either, so I'm on my own.
I have several blog posts on my profile where I actually solved big issues on my own, I had no choice :)

Thank you very much PatsyC! I appreciate all you shared !! Luckily two other member's said they use the Sydney theme for their slideshows and they both like it. Both they're sites look great so that is encouraging, and probably they route I will go. I love your idea for posting a blog when you have a question. I'll look forward to seeing you and chatting with you in the future! Take care! :)

You are welcome Shawna :D

I'm happy you already found a theme that has it. It doesn't take long to get help, the community here is the best!

Hi Robert, and fellow Canadian. I was just on your profile leaving a comment. Thanks for following me.

I hope I'm on rock solid ground, it's a lot of work creating our websites and I know I will be a success in time.

Thanks I wish you the same. That the best in life flows right you!

Hi John, thanks for following me.

I have been here for 4.5 months and joined with very little computer skills. As I work on my website I write blog posts for help with issues I get along the way. Doing this has helped other members and landed me a spot as an Ambassador, something I wasn't expecting.

I agree, the internet is a big world and we can have part of it. Thinking positive and working hard will take us to goals we have set.

agreed.

Hi Jonathan, it's funny you mention 'Sudbury Saturday Night' I haven't heard that in ages.

Thanks, it's sharing my issues and resolved ones also that I write blog posts about. This is how I got to where I am now. I have helped older along with newer members along the way.
I wasn't expecting to become an Ambassador at all.

My dad will be 86 in November and he is currently cutting stone on Manitoulin Island for a job he is working on in Sudbury where my parents reside.

I have been here for about 4.5 months so my website is fairly new. I had taken an unexpected personal break for about 3 weeks and feel behind but it's all good.

You can take a look at my posts to the right of my profile to see if there are any that can help you now or in the future.

Thanks for the follow, I am now following you back!

Good morning Linda, I try my best to help others.

My posts are all basically the same with writing about issues and trying to solve them. I share to make others aware in case they need to learn these also.

My website is still not where it should be. I need to add a lot more posts so it's still fairly new.

You are welcome and thank you for following me also :)

Hi Robert, thank you for following me back. Also thank you for the conversation we had on the blog post.

It's a pleasure to follow you, and I won't wait to get stuck to check out your blogs.

Enjoy your day also.

No probs, another day, another dollar as they say.
Lots of great tips and advice in my blogs.
Too many really but I like to write, been doing it ever since I learned how to.
Enjoy your Tuesday.
Robert

The first blog that caught my eye is about Meta tags and no you don't have too may blogs.

Thanks again :)

You might like to read this article on my site -

https://yourownecommercebusinesswebsite.com/seo-tactics/work-from-home-seo

Its usually the one I send my new followers to so they can get some idea about those important Tags.

Robert

Thank you!

Hi Veronica, thank you for following me back!

Don't think I'm not almost an old timer myself ;) my youth is in the 'genes' Haha.

Of course I beat you to it, I saw how helpful you were in the blog post. You sound like myself...helpful and that's how I got to the rank I'm at now. I wasn't expecting that though. It was gradual.

It looks like we started at the same time and I'm always helping when I can. I also write blog posts with experiences I've had here, with difficult things and am proud to say I have helped many.

A couple of those leaping to the top like crazy have 'their' way of doing that, it's far from how helping others as I am is how I got there. I'm not really interested in becoming an Ambassador since it will only be 3 months on June 8th since I joined. I'm still learning :)

Looking forward to seeing you in other blog posts and helping each other and ..others out :)

I actually started in September of 2016, so I have a few months on you. But I still feel like a newbie...in a good way!

I must have read your date wrong then.

Sitting in front of a laptop for hours at a time can cause temporary partial blurry vision syndrome :)

It happens...

I am proud of both my parents and am Blessed to still have them. Both are 85 years old. Sorry to hear about the passing of your's and it was way too soon!

I will read your second post, thanks for bringing it to my attention.

You are welcome, and thanks for following me also.

Patsy

Thank you for the follow back Loes.

I will definitely be checking out all of the resources you have, it's a good thing I recently started with WA and can access them this early.

Wishing you much success with WA :)

Hi Alexander, you are welcome and thank you for following me back. I appreciate your comments and I know I will do well. Always positive thinking :)

Patsy

Hi Nicky, you are welcome. Nice to meet you also.
Thank you for the comments and feeling motivated by reading my profile! I do hope to achieve everything...I know I will :)
If I can do it anyone can. You have achieved so much in your life already it's amazing.

Thanks again and have a great weekend also!

Thank you! I agree with what you said :)
Thanks for leaving your link, I'll check it out right now.

Patsy

Sounds good, thank you, wishing you all the best with your success also!

Hi Phil, thanks for the message. You are welcome and thanks for following me. I am proud of my parents!
Best of luck to you also :)

Hi Craig thank you! where in Canada are you? I'm in Ontario.
Although I've only been here for a few days I'm progressing well and almost finished my Get Started course! I bought my own domain last night. I have the patience to get there :)
Love the community here.

Thank you so much for your message and support, I appreciate it and best of luck to you also.

I'm in Gatineau, just outside of Ottawa, but originally from Montreal.

Sounds like you're doing well! That's awesome. Keep it up!

Thank you!

Love this thank you :)
Worded perfectly, couldn't have said it better myself.
My Pleasure also, see you at the top!

Patsy

Hi Shawn, you are welcome.
Thank you for the message! I have been following every step so far and I do searches for questions. I will check out your websites thanks for the offer :)

Hi Patsy,

Good luck with the training. Let me know if there is anything I can help you with.

Regards,
Shawn

Thanks Sheldon, and no it wasn't a tough call I only joined a couple days ago. I needed a chance to navigate first! It's all good.

Thank you for the advice :)

Thank you for your advise! I appreciate it.

Hi Kyle thanks. Things are going well so far. I'm on my website training and niche ideas right now.
I do have a couple of ideas for my niche, purses for one and dating sites. I have a couple of domain choices, one for the purses idea and website name for the purses to start with anyway. I chose them while still a new member and not upgraded yet. So now I need to change the purse domain and remove the siterubix from it.

When deciding on a niche and trying to narrow down to a more specific niche, I recommend you ask yourself the following question:

I want to help people that ______________.

Fill in the blank and you are going to be much closer to a specific audience. After you do this and if you want to run any further ideas by me, let me know and I will give you a hand. :)

Hi Kyle,

So purses are not specific enough?

I want to help people that: are looking for quality purses.

My specific audience are women.

During a video on niches, you used the example of baby clothing as being a niche. The target audience are parents.

Am I understanding this properly?
I wanted to 'start' with purses and I did go onto Amazon's site under categories and searched as you suggested in the video. I would like bigger ticket items but don't have enough knowledge like vehicles or work out equipment.

Thanks for your help!! I want to start this off right :)

Sure, you could narrow it down a bit. High End Purses could be good. You could be the Purse go to site over time, but I would start a bit more narrow with your niche. This doesn't mean that your website/domain and brand could be broader though.

When you choose a domain, you are going to want to choose something that is "brandable" versus something that has keywords within it. The reason this is the case is because as you build out your website, you can target as many keywords as you like within the content (that is how you will rank).

I have created a discussion here outlining the process and what to look for when choosing a domain name: How Do I Choose a Good Domain Name? This should help you out here and if you ever want to run any domains by me, simply let me know and I will give you some feedback.

PS. You can host up to 25 of your own domains here within the Premium membership on our state of the art hosting platform. :)

Hi Kyle! thanks for your reply I can't imagine how busy you must be. Since your last message, I continued my lessons and chose a domain...and am on lesson #7.

I read the link you provided on choosing a good domain name thanks for that...and according to the 3 steps, my domain looks fine.

1) My domain sounds brandable because I do like it.
2) It is .com without any dashes '-'.
3) I had to use .siterubix.com since I was not a Premium member then. The link mentioned buying it from SiteDomain.

My domain name is:
yourpursesource.siterubix.com

My website name is:
Your Purse Source

To me it does sound like the 'go to' site (over time) because I have 'your' and 'source' in it. Your suggestion High End Purses is great.

I made a list of over 50 keywords for phrases and adding more.

How long do I keep .siterubix.com I remember in SiteRubix website page, Site Manager/access website there is a 'move' button to move my current domain to my newly owned one..when I find the link to get it.

What do you think of my domain name :)

Thank you for taking the time to help me along the way I really appreciate it.

Yeah, that is fine, but I was referring to your OWN domain if you ever do decide to buy that. Your existing free website URL definitely sounds just fine. ;)

I don't have to wait until after the Get Started lessons are finished to buy my own? I'm just starting Lesson 8 so I don't have any content.

Thanks for taking the time to help me out :)

No, you don't. You could buy a domain right away if you wanted and as a Premium member you can host up to 25 of your own domains. :)

Thank you Jerry :)
