Building a website at Wealthy Affiliate is very easy. In this video I walk you through the process of setting up FREE websites here at Wealthy Affiliate. It really does only take 3 simple steps.
As a Starter member you get TWO free Wordpress sites on the SiteRubix.com domain, as a Premium member you get unlimited free website as well as the ability to host unlimited domains that you actually own.
Here are a few things that are covered within this video:
(1) What is included in the SiteManager area
(2) How to choose your domain name
(3) How to choose a website name
(4) How to choose a theme and what to look for
(5) How to access your administration details
(6) The differences between Starter websites and Premium
(7) The various aspects of the SiteRubix platform
If you have any questions about creating websites here at WA, please do let me know and I will be more than happy to give you a hand. :)

Wow: I was blown away by this video and the explanation of how easy it was after procrastinating for a day worried that I wouldn't understand any of the technical stuff. Very motivating indeed. My question about whether or not you could transfer your free website to your own public domain was answered too. Fantastic!

Hi everyone! Maybe it was in video above and I missed it. Once I chose theme for my website is it possible to change it for another one or change it for upgraded one (most of the themes are free but you can go for PRO version which you have to pay for)? Thanks a lot for your help in advance. :)

Of course, you can! You might as well find the best one that suits your taste while you are at the early stage. Changing themes affect your lay out and it's going to be lots of work when you have to readjust some of the appearances of your pages, posts,and everything there is to your website. Pro versions are great as it enables you to customize better and there are more features to it. Enjoy!

Hi folks, Loving WA...and yes i am going PREMIUM very very soon. I have a few questions and i hope they dont sound too stupid...here goes...
1. When i am updating / creating my website can i edit/view/edit/view etc etc without it going live (i.e preview the site off line so to speak) as i will probably changing a lot till i get it looking and flowing correctly?
2. Lets say i start with siterubix for a month or two and i have traffic/subscrbers/customers etc. will they automatically be directed to my new domain name at dot com? i know the change over will be seamless but i just want to know if i will have to tell them all or if the links that they use will automatically change (hope it makes sense)?
3. God forbid and i dont think there is a hope in hells chance of my next question happening but it did cross my mind.....what happens to my website and content etc.......if the hosting part of WA was to ever disappear? there i said it ....SORRY but i had to ask......

It's me again. I am here a lot. I'm sure others will comment as well but...
1 It will take a while for your site to go live anyway. It takes google a couple weeks to get your site indexed. Until then you should write content and do as the training suggest. As Kyle says there is no perfect content and you can always go back and edit and make changes later. 6 months in and I'm still making changes.
2. Yes, when you go from siterubix to your own domain, everything will redirect. You don't need to do anything.
3. It could happen but you will learn from newbie mistakes and back up your site on your computer and some suggest to back up your entire site with a plug in. I have heard people lose their site here and the question was always asked Did you backup your site? Make sure you do.

If I recently purchased a domain on Domaincheap. Am I able to use it here at WA right away for my first site? I understand you have to be a premium member for that. I Guess what I'm asking is, will Domaincheap let me use it here right away after purchase or would I have to have it on their registrar for some time before I can use it here on WA? I just recall reading something with some people having some sort of similar issue, but not sure if it was the same case or something completely different. Also can I purchase a domain here at WA as Premium member? Please advise.. Thanks!
Cheers!
Cheers!

Hey Omar,
As a premium member of WA, you can use any purchased domain from any source. Since you purchased it from Namecheap, simply point the domain nameservers to:
NS1.MYWAHOSTING.COM
NS2.MYWAHOSTING.COM
This will give you hosting for that domain.

After you have content on your site, you will apply to affiliate programs,once accepted, you`ll put their products (with your affiliate link) on your site, if anyone buys a product through your affiliate link, you get a commission.
Does this answer your question or do you need more help?

Hi roamy if you are not good at writing content you can try fivver.com where you start out paying $5. For just about any service until you are able to write great content on your own. You can also visit other people's websites in your niche and see the style of their content and bring your personal style into your content.
