This video was great! I have a few questions...
Are we able to link an existing site that is already built? What are the advantages to building our website here as opposed to thru WordPress directly? Or thru a hosting site like Bluehost?
How much does WA charge per month for hosting services or is that all included in the premium membership?
Are there widgets that are specific to Affiliate Marketing or Affiliate Programs that are only available thru WA? Or can these widgets also be accessed thru WordPress or Woocommerce separately?
Looking forward to learning more :)

You can use an existing site that you already have set-up with the training here or you can start fresh.
Sometimes with an existing site there may be some things that you have done in the past that could be hurting your rankings (backlinks, spun content, duplicate content, low quality content), so starting fresh and doing things properly from the start can be advantageous.
Either way, I am here to help you along the way Simmie!
Just a FYI. The website and hosting platform here is far superior to what you are getting over at Blue Host. The Managed Wordpress hosting you have access to here at WA (included for free) is matched by very few hosts in the industry in terms of quality, security, speed, and support. It definitely is not a budget host like the other shared hosting companies out there. The hosting you get here at WA is comparable to $250 per MONTH hosting packages.
You can learn more about it here:
http://www.wealthyaffiliate.com/hosting/
You can host up to 25 of your own domains and 25 free .siterubix.com websites on your Premium hosting platform here at WA.
The total cost for running your business at WA are as follows:
1. Membership fees: $19 for the first month, then $49/month after that as long as you are a member. There's no contract for this, so you can cancel any time. You retain the rights to your website and can move it to another host if you cancel your membership.
2. TLD Domain Name (.com/org/net). Though WA offers free domain names, for your main business you should use a Top Level Domain. This costs $15/year through WA, but you are welcome to use another registrar if you want. I prefer WA because it's cheaper long term
Compared here: https://www.wealthyaffiliate.com/domains
There are many advantages and freebies for those hosted and registering domains here in WA. I've outlined many specific about SSL, security, and privacy here: FREE Stuff At Wealthy Affiliate WA also offers systems to get you peer feedback on your website, as well as comment exchanges to help create engagement (then boost rank) on your site).
3. *optional* Jaaxy Pro: $19/month. This is for keyword research. This is the preferred Keyword tool from WA members and I use it all the time myself. But it is optional, and you can use Jaaxy Lite for free!
Hope that helps Katie!

Hiya Favour,
Yes...buy you own domain as a dot com.
DO NOT FEEL NERVOUS. You're sending your subconscious the wrong signals.
Every emotion we have good, bad, positive, happy becomes manifested into your life.
Take everything one day at a time. Take your time. When you set your mind to take action, the mind starts to organise your life in the way that's required to manifest your desires okay.
Everything is energy. You, me, the seat your sitting on. It's just light bouncing around you which you see in the form of 'things'.
What you can';t see is inside your mind and that's because you feel with not your mind but your HEART.
Listen to your HEART, and you will get the signals. FEEL with your heart okay.
Trust me on this.
If you need any advice just shout. This is also new to me, but I'm listening to my heart and feeling me emotions and then trusting myself.
Take care...have a fabulous weekend.
Kind regards,
Ash

It seems am feeling a bit nervous about the website building, fearing that I will mess it up. Well
I will face it tomorrow. Hopefully, I will get it done. As a premium affiliate marketer, I should choose the 3rd domain which is Register Domain right? lack of computer skills is a big challenge.

You can use your own domain, ideally at some point you will switch over to your own domain as it is you own brand (that will appreciate in value as you build out your business).
You can buy domains here at WA directly through the SiteDomains platform. It is a very seamless system and we have implemented some very advanced features so you do not have to deal with the headache of DNS, whois privacy, security, upsells, or of managing your domains within a completely different account.
You can access the SiteDomains platform under the main SiteRubix menu, or you can get to it directly here.
https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/websites/domains
A .com domain will usually run you under $14 per year, with other top level domains varying in price. This includes absolutely everything. You can register any of your domains there and upon purchasing, they will instantly be ready to build your website on!

I already own several domains and have built 2 websites through GoDaddy and I think they are hosted through WordPress. They look unprofessional, because WordPress is difficult for a novice to use to build a website, very hard to understand. So, can I still build other websites with the basic plan or can I edited my existing websites through WA or can I use my existing domains to build new sites? I’m really confused on how to approach this, please advise me. I may want to use a different niche and build two new sites with WA.

You can use your existing domains with your hosting here at WA.
You will just need to update the DNS settings and you will be able to use your domain with the hosting here.
The DNS is also known as the "nameservers" and these are what tell your domain to look for your website, which in this case is going to be the hosting here at WA.
Here are your DNS settings again (also within that tutorial):
ns1.mywahosting.com
ns2.mywahosting.com
You can update this within your domain registrar (where you bought the domain). Upon doing so, you will be able to start building your website here within 24 hours, the time in takes for your new nameserver settings to propogate.
Let me know if you have any further issues.

First I would like to thank Kyle and everyone who is commenting and following me and helping me on my way to success. I hope I can inspire others to continue to reach for their goals and succeed as well. I might not be here all the time but I put in as much time as I can as I have grandchildren during the week which demand my time as well but not to fear I am here and I am going to reach my goals no matter what! I have started my website and I am looking forward to understanding how to build it. Much luv to everyone!

Sure, at your own pace. Your situation is like many and isn't all that much different than most people when starting out. We are all busy and when we start a business, we tend to "fill the gaps" through the day.
As you start to see your business take shape and results, you will naturally dedicate more and more time to your business. ;)

Just finished the "Building Your we site in 30 Seconds" video. I've been having to rewatch the videos at least two times, some three times, to make certain that I understand the content. I'm thankful that the technical aspects of the website have already been added. All I need is a direction to go, and then I'm up and going. Very impressed with the attention paid to detail on my behalf. It helps me to concentrate on getting started. Will more than likely have questions as I go further and deeper into the process of building and hosting a website. And I'm sure that the help will be excellent, as it has already been. And may I add greatly appreciated.
Kyle

Yeah, that is exactly the case. You need a direction, and a passion to build a business. We fill in the rest for you here at WA and remove MOST of the technology steps through technology we have developed in house.
You have lots of help here every step of the way, so if you ever need a hand with anything at all just let us know. :)

Hosting is fully included in the membership here at WA.
The Premium is $19 the first month, then it is $49 per month after the first month. This includes absolutely everything you need to create and grow a business online from the training, weekly live classes, he support, the tools, the websites/hosting, the mentoring, network, exclusive access to all updates...you name it.
We also have a 6 month option for $234 which works out to be $39 per month when paid in full, and a yearly option of $359 which is a big discount and that works out to be $29 per month when paid in full. You can choose either or.
The only other potential cost could be a domain name (if you want a domain of your own), they run around $14 per year.
Hope this helps you out Joseph and if you have any further questions let me know.

Glad I finally watched this video! I had jumped ahead and built a site but I should have followed the lessons in the course :) I found myself trying to adjust things in the back office without doing the lessons and then wondering why (duh) I didn't understand how to do some things, lol! I have found a really cool theme though for my site so I'm happy about that. Thanks!

Thanks so much you guys for doing all of this. I could take the time and learn how to do all of this myself, but I'm a mom and I'm busy! I don't want to spend all that time just to get started.
From what I've researched myself, even with the premium package, this is a really good deal!

You still have time. Many people (I would say most) start businesses when they are busy with life, busy with parenthood, and busy with the demands of day to day life. We all have the same number of hours in a day and it is just a matter of dedicating some of them to your business and being productive with these hours when you do dedicate them.
You are going to do great Adrianne and I really look forward to working with you!

Hi, great presentation, looks fairly simple.
I currently have a website hosted by Hostgator that is basically dormant as I haven’t touched it in ages. The main reason being I have no idea how to do anything on it :(
I initially paid someone on fiver to set it up for me but haven’t really done anything since.
Sorry for rambling - back on point, can I transfer it to WA?
Reading through other comments it looks like I can and if so will it contain all the information currently on there like visitors email registration?
Also, do you know if there is a cost associated with the change or if Hostgator would have to pay back the amount already prepaid for hosting?
Hoping you can help.
Thanks

Well you are going to learn how to PROPERLY build out a website here, so we have you covered there. In terms of moving it, yes you can if it is a Wordpress website.
It is quite a manual process to move a website to WA, but it can be done if it is a Wordpress based site.
You would have to follow these steps:
(1) Download your content locally
(2) Update your domain DNS settings to point to WA. Here are the DNS settings.
ns1.mywahosting.com
ns2.mywahosting.com
(3) Build a website here at WA using the website builder.
(4) Transfer your content over to WA
This is a very manual process and it can be done, but I don't recommend doing it if you have an established high ranking website, I don't usually recommend moving it.
If you need any further help, let me know.

Thanks Kyle.
It is definitely not a well established or high ranking website.
It simply exists. But it is a Wordpress site
It has minimal content and at best is a work in progress.
But it is my bit of internet landscape.
Once I know what I’m doing I will have to attempt to move it here and give it a new life.
Thank you again for the information.

Hello Everyone,
Just my two cents: I highly, highly recommend upgrading to premium when you can for building a website. When building your presence as an authority online, there is a big difference in perception when people see your website on its own domain versus one hosted on another domain.

I have paid for hosting with Hostgator as I have had a website for 12 years. I can host a lot more websites within the monthly payments I make to Hostgator. So, I appear to have three options. I can use two hosts. One for my previous site and one for my Wealthy Affiliate site. Or, if I understand correctly, I could transfer my Hostgator hosted site to WA. or, transfer by WA site to Hostgator. However, I have no idea how to actually transfer Hostgator as my host of choice.
I have purchased a .com site from WA, but apparently can't use it without a premier membership, so appears using Hostgator would be the logical choice.
I am being on the cautious side until WA proves to me that it is a viable source of income. At least enough income to pay WA premier membership. I find the bombardment of "Buy Premier Membership Now!" a bit disconcerting and more than a little disappointing.
It's almost as if non-premier members are second-class citizens left twisting in the wind, and perhaps wasting their time with little chance of succeeding.
Please convince me of otherwise. Do non-premier members succeed? Or are they few and far between?
Just as a side note, I have used site-build-it in the past. It works on basically the same premise, but seldom could I earn enough to pay annual fees so I left them due to the expense without income.

Started my web site last night. I am not sure what I did but I want the site with the dark front page and then a blog posting the main page. I made a post but I think it went to a second site instead. LOL
Need to get back on track with Word Press ...
So does anyone know how to set this up for a front page with lightbox for sign in and then the site starts on the next page for my blogs? This is on free websites. I put n a new header image, logo, tagline, etc.

Hi Kyle-
This is a FREE web site- third row, middle web choice with black background and tall building titled " Your Business, Your Way" , and a lightbox for sign in. Want to use "name" and "email" in the lightbox to email capture for Mailchmp or another automated email system. Can't go premium right now. Need to make income for a couple of months on affiliate marketing.
I already changed THE BLOG page and have a starter review blog up. Want to change the headings on the left menu to match my posts. Once I get the base up I will add my other reviews of products and options for customers to buy by clicking on images or click boxes.
I think I had two web sites of the same thing up which I believe I deleted the copy of.(?)

If I want my website to be called "Dimensions", and be aimed at people looking towards spiritual enlightenment and meditation. You know, the stuff that helps them deal with life and financial ruin or discomfort. what should I call my domain name for my website? I'm a bit cufufalled.
I have scarring on my brain so some things slip by me.

Try think of a domain that's similar to "Dimensions", if you can't get www.dimensions.com try add words onto the domain. Like spirtualdimenions.com or something of that sort, use Jaaxy and it will auto suggest similar domains that are available. Also you might do some research and decide to pick a different domain name, hope this helps!

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. :)

I started working on my first website and the first thing that pops up is and ad to buy a
program called "MEET RYAN (PRO)" is this part of the business model they are always trying to up sale us on other products, I mean it's hard enough to learn all the things we have to do to build our business while we are constantly trying to get rid of POP UP ADS? Not complaining just wondering!

Yes sir well it is actually on the website it self, I just looked at it again and it may be that it's just an example of what you can put there. I hate to tell you this but I don't know what your talking about screen shot, I've heard the term but I don't know how to do it, sorry! I am willing to learn lol. Thank you for your help. I am still going thru the training it may be taught in there somewhere, I feel like I'm drinking out of a fire hose trying to learn all this information, but I'm sure it will make sense in time. Thanks again!! Hey I just looked again and it said sample page lol Don't you just love us newbies?

I really am enjoying WA and I am impressed what guys have put together here! I think I have found my niche to get started. My first Website I done quick and I called it lucrative without really knowing what I wanted to sell, I guess I thought just anything that goes??

Awesome, great to hear you have found your niche. You can change your website when you move to your OWN domain, so what you name it initially won't be an issue. But you want to keep your "topic" of your website consistent as to what your website is about.
All niches have a ton of opportunity within them. There are 3.75 BILLION people online and we are all now more connected than ever. This is the audience you are dealing with the Internet and even some of the most obscure niches have millions of people interested in them.
You should read about this here within a blog post I recently created on this exactly topic: Is my niche a profitable one? YOU make a niche profitable and that is why it is important that you decide on a niche that you are interested in/passionate about. It will make the journey that much more fun and exciting. ;)

The same goes with WA. You can learn this and we will teach you everything you need to know and offer you all the support you need.

I currently have a website on WIX (I am an author). Previously, my website was on WordPress, but I found it too difficult to create the site I wanted.I know many people use WordPress, but it I found it difficult to personalize it, move things around on my pages, and change color schemes without knowing code.
Once we set up a website on the free platform, we cannot monetize it or include affiliate links unless we become a premium member? My husband, an IT project manager, just lost his job after 29 years with a company, so funds are tight and I'm trying to see how I can help. My books don't pull in the kinds of funds we need to take care of our family, so I'm just trying to see if this is something that I can do while he tries to get his IT business (working with companies to improve their business processes with customized software) going. I don't think I could monetize his website, so I need to do some of my own. Sorry to ramble--just trying to figure things out. Thanks!

You can create your own .com domain, you first need to purchase your domain though. You own these domains like virtual real estate, and they will run you around $14 per year. You can buy your own domains here within the SiteDomains platform, which is the most inclusive and cost efficient in the industry:
https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/websites/domains
Once you have your domain, you can move your SiteRubix website over to your own domain. We actually have a "Move" feature that you will see right within the SiteManager.
https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/websites
You can move any domain to any domain hosted here at WA. For example, if you wanted to move your Siterubix website to a domain that you have purchased, then it is a very simple process.
The "Move" feature also handles for all proper redirects and SEO, it will transfer your site in its entirety and it is as simple as a few clicks. See attached screenshot for what I am referring to here.

Hello. My question is this, I made two website links on Amazon which are ushopwithmercedes dot com and onlineshoppingwithmercedes dot com, wouldn't let me put links since I am not a premium member yet. Can I use those as the links when creating a website on WA or does it need to be more specific?
Kyle

Sure, if the domains are available you can use those as your website links. Do you own those domains? (the .com's)
If so then you will also be able to host them as a Premium member here at WA. :) The Managed Wordpress hosting you have access to here at WA is matched by very few hosts in the industry in terms of quality, security, speed, and support. It definitely is not a budget host like the other shared hosting companies out there. The hosting you get here at WA is comparable to $250 per MONTH hosting packages.

Doing it in 30 sec. sounds a bit optimistic. If you know exactly what you're doing - which is not my case yet - maybe. I'm sure with experience I will get it done. I like the way everything is organized in the WA dashboard. I've tried to play with Wordpress, it takes lot of time to figure out all the details, this platform seems much more user friendly. I can't wait to get started.
Kyle
Premium
Well once you know the platform, you can perform it in 30 seconds. That is the reality as to how quick the technology will work for you, but the decisions you make for your domain name/etc could slow you down a bit.
As for Wordpress, there is plenty of training on how to efficiently and effectively use it and this is going to be covered in detail as you move through the training. :)

One of the things I am really glad you mentioned was that you can migrate your SiteRubrix website on to your own domain later on. That was a really nice touch. At first I was thinking that I needed to veer off and get my own domain and learn all that stuff first before I resumed the lessons because having your own domain is generally viewed as more professional. It's nice that I can continue with the lesson flow and migrate later.

Hello great people at WA!
I am at the point of building my first website, and I have a couple of questions. Is it better to start with registering my ".com" domain first (to make sure that it is available) and then build a website? Or should I start with a free ".siterubix.com" domain, and, after it is fully functional, move it to my own domain? How easy is it to move and how much will my own domain cost?
Thank you for your help.

Hi. Just signed up as a Premium member Wooohoo :-) before jumping in I did a bit of reading and research and one of the the things that is recommended for your website is a "Tracking tool" to identfy where the traffic is coming from and who they are. As far as I saw on the video and iin the menus, I can't see that 1 is available or included. This is making me a wee bit concerned! If it so important (as it sounds it is) and its not included can sb give me info on which tracking tool I should go for?

I overlooked a key fact in my previous comment about the website building process. I thought I had to build my website as it would look with all the bells and whistles before checking off the tab that I built my site. After reviewing the lesson again it became clear that the initial website is just the foundation and that the next lessons would go into the details of the nitty gritty construction process using the tools available. I was obviously trying to run before learning to walk. It’s all good. Kyle does a fabulous job in the website building training. I just had to click the box that I built my site before moving on to the next website building lessons. So no help needed at this point.

Am I correct that the basic website just says Hello and is plain vanilla and not in the theme I picked? I’ve used Wix to build a website but I’m finding Wordpress more challenging to understand.

Not to mention that is the most cost efficient as well. We can appreciate the fact that when most people are starting out, they are operating off a bootstrap budget.
These two qualities (value, price) both things that we stand behind, and are proud of here at WA.
Wealthy Affiliate has been operating in the affiliate marketing and Internet entrepreneurship space for the last 12 years. During this time, we have not raised our prices, in fact, our yearly membership is cheaper today (by 88 cents, $359 vs. $359.88) than when we started out in 2005. Meanwhile we continue to invest millions of dollars per year into innovations and advancements of the technology, support systems, and the overall platform here.

I am a little confused about the connection between building a website and starting a blog. I recently found out that I have osteoarthritis and would like to create my niche around wellness in general, but more specifically about thriving with chronic pain. I expect my vtarget audience to be women over 50. I can see myself sharing the story of my journey and incorporating some product reviews and opportunities to purchase items, but I think that would be more blog-like. I'm sure that in sharing my story, I will find many ways to connect people to products although the products might seem random. They might be anything from pills to hiking gear to experiences. Does something like this work as far as searches driving traffic to my site? I can't see building a site around "gear for women with osteoarthritis".
SZev
Premium
Hi Theresa, when starting a new site (blog), you want to make sure it's as clearly defined as possible. That will help you rank faster than if you were to write about various topics. What I'd do is target keywords *specifically* relating to osteoarthritis (in other words, "osteoarthritis" or related terms should always (or almost always) be part of your keyword phrase). If "gear for women with osteoarthritis" gets any search volume, that would be okay to write about, otherwise skip it. But that particular keyword would most certainly be too small as a niche onto itself. Does that help? Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.

A website and a blog are all in the same. A blog is just how content is displayed on a website.
You certainly can head in any direction with your niche, and your ideas sound like good ones in that respect. Things that you have experience with, and that you are passionate about helping others with.
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. :)

On the left side I have created a couple of buttons for future topics that I plan to write about. this is stie is really exciting for me because I have wanted to do the affiliate marketing as well but haven't been able to find out until today and to learn how to drive traffic to the site.

so without the premium, I only can make about 2 websites, right? So if for example my website is not run properly and doesn't make the income I hope for, is it okay if I change the content to another niche? For example I started with the fountain pen content, and after a few months because it doesn't give me good result, I change it into novel content, is it okay?

I am not super crazy about choosing a name for the website before choosing an affiliate offer. I suppose it could go either way, but in say health and fitness a person might sell a health supplement, or a piece of exercise equipment or a range of things similar to a celebrity endorsed domain. I would think those choices would directly impact your choice of a domain name.

I would agree if my website was called Earl West and I was selling things under my name, but unless I am misunderstanding If i were making an affiliate offer for sporting goods I would want a website name which reflected the longtail keyword search term.

Hi Kyle,
Quick questions about websites and niches. Let’s say you build five websites, do they all have to be within the same niche? Or could they all be completely different? (ie baby diapers, pre workout, etc). Also, how should your website name be different than your website title? Thanks!

They could be in totally different niches. That will happen through time and as you build out your business, you are going to be able to create many successful websites across many different niches.

Hi @Kyle,
I finally started the training, and I have some questions. I actually created a website about travel and lifestyle almost one year ago through Wix, but it's pretty shitty. I won't renew my domain next year (which also was quite expensive £60 per year), and will close it down, as I only posted one article and didn't work around it to set it up properly (SEO, keywords, indexing, etc).
Someone mentioned to me that creating your domain with your name and last name gives you personality and people tend to remember you in the online world (but there are a few websites using a domain with my name and last name, of people who share name with me, although they are not positioning in the first results of Google). Also, I find it hard, if I don't use my own name for the domain, to create a combination of words that relate to fashion and makeup, the niches I have chosen (and possibly lifestyle, which is quite related to fashion).
Also, I think I prefer to go for a paid domain straight away, rather than to start with a free one (as I'm afraid the ones that are available can be taken at any time). When I go to Register your domain, it gives me the option to buy one for $15.99. I have plans to go Premium today. If I upgrade to Premium, is this action of registering a domain free, or do you have to pay the same price? If that's free on Premium, I will obviously wait as I can save a bit of money.

Hey Andrea,
Having a domain name with your own name is great. But if you aren't able to get that, don't worry.
Check out Kyle's training on choosing a domain name for your niche: Choosing & Buying a Brandable Domain Name This should be able to help.
As for the cost of your paid domain name, it'll still be the same for all Premium members. You have to purchase your own domain name.

I have few queries:
1. Is it possible to upgrade a website from "free domain" to "a domain I own" (my own domain)? That means if I create a free domain website for practice now, is it possible to upgrade it to a website with my own domain?
2. What is the function of "register domain"? What happens if a domain is registered or not registered?
3. If I change the domain name of my website later (someday after creation) whether the older domain name will be available again or not (if someone else don't already choose my older domain in between)?
4. If I change the domain name of a website, will the traffic start for zero again?

Yes, you can host up to 25 websites on your own domains within our state of the art hosting. You are a premium member, so you can do this.
2. What is the function of "register domain"? What happens if a domain is registered or not registered?
You can buy (register) domains here within WA:

3. If I change the domain name of my website later (someday after creation) whether the older domain name will be available again or not (if someone else don't already choose my older domain in between)?
A domain can be used by only one person at a time, so if someone else is using a particular domain you won't be able to.
4. If I change the domain name of a website, will the traffic start for zero again?
You can move a website from one domain to another here at WA using the MOVE feature and this will transfer all of the traffic, and SEO aspects.

You don't have to use the website platform here if you don't want. You can use an existing site that you already have set-up with the training here or you can start fresh.
Sometimes with an existing site there may be some things that you have done in the past that could be hurting your rankings (backlinks, spun content, duplicate content, low quality content), so starting fresh and doing things properly from the start can be advantageous. But this is totally up to you.
Either way, I am here to help you along the way Todd!

Kyle, your videos are easy to follow and very informative.
I am not sure how I feel about being reminded that I am on the free version and that there is so much more being offered on the premium side of the house, especially when I feel I still have a lot more to lean before thinking about becoming a premium member.

I have a few questions - if one does the free website option which is basically a sub domain of the siterubix(dot)com. Isn't that gonna make ranking so much more difficult because google and other search engines won't be able to index it to just your niche? Siterubix(dot)com has thousand of sub domains of users with their own unique niche.
Question 2. If one does move the website over to own domain eventually - how is this gonna affect rankings or does one active a permanent redirect to the new site?

Those are great questions and I will try to find an answer for you. I started out with a sub domain so I could set up my website and then bought my own domain after a couple of months. The sub domain definitely directs to your new domain, but I'm not sure how that affects rankings. I will let you know what I find out.

Hello Kyle, You just bombed me in a fantastic world and I am completely amazed at the fantastic features in the website building section. I begin to understand the importance of the training and it is fantastic to take the whole process step by step. For a new bie like me, this is the most fantastic opportunity I have ever met. Things are simply but tremendously getting serious by now. how ever, I am still confused about the explanation given for premium membership when it comes to the domain names. I really want to understand the difference under domain name, between ON A DOMAIN I OWN and REGISTER A DOMAIN. I equally want to know if at some time I can delete a web site and replace by another. Thanks for your reply

Sure, happy to help you out with your questions here. The domain within the Starter membership are created on the .siterubix.com domain, you are in full control of the content, but you don't own the actual domain.
When you are ready, you can move these sites over to your own domains with a click of a button here at WA using the MOVE feature.
We also have a SiteDomains (domain registration platform) here at WA that simplifies the process. It is a breeze, it handles everything properly for SEO, and these are features included within the Premium membership.
Hope this clarifies for you Ekwe.

So I am starting up a website that is primarily a blog for album reviews, band interviews, and music scene news, that I am looking to expand into a networking site with radio podcasts, concert promotions, labels/sales distributions, bulletin boards, etc. and am wondering if the expansion is feasible under the start-up through SiteRubix; with the amount of content I have currently ready being relatively small-scale, is it wise to try branching out from that under the same banner, or should I use different webpages? I'd like to have a larger stream of traffic through the conglomerated resources provided by one site, so as to be more easily managed (with demographically targeted but fairly wide-spectrum advertising).

By all means yes, start with a .siterubix.com website. Down the road as you establish your brand, you will be able to shift ANY free website you create here to your own domain name. We actually have a "Move" feature that you will see right within the SiteManager.
https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/websites
You can move any domain to any domain hosted here at WA. For example, if you wanted to move your Siterubix website to a domain that you have purchased, then it is a very simple process.
The "Move" feature also handles for all proper redirects and SEO, it will transfer your site in its entirety and it is as simple as a few clicks. See attached screenshot for what I am referring to here.

When I first found WA I thought wow this is very expensive. $49 a month. These guys are making a lot of money. I signed up anyway. Going through the training so far I now see that they put a lot of work and money into this. I know that they have expensives. Just hosting say 25 websites would cost me way more than the $49 dollars that they charge. I don't know how they do it. I'm sure with there expert training that I will make way more than the small fee WA charges. This can't be cheap to operate. There not making a lot of money per client. The end result is that WA has my back 24/7 with all the features that you would have to pay for would cost you thousands. Your training is very easy to understand. I will be a premium member for as long as I can.

A niche is not usually a specific product, rather an audience.
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. :)

I also was concerned because I love WordPress and I had a false impression that it was not part of the website builder. And even the training has been worth the cost of Premium!

as I am working through the training and research I have some questions:
- How have you all got over the fear of just starting something and seeing what happens? (without overanalysing the potential failings!)
- what has been your biggest wake up call/surprise - good or bad, as you have got started?
- realistically, from the moment of launching a site, and assuming you are giving it your best efforts, at what point do you start to see sales? I know there isn't a straight answer to this, but just want to have my expectations set, is it months/years before you can start to see results?
- Is it better to build up a following with interesting and regular content before recommending products? Or do you launch the site on day 1 with affiliate links and then start promoting?
any advice is fantastic! thanks

Here's what I can share:
1. Don't feel, just do it! Have an end goal of what you want to achieve online other than financial goals. When I first started, I wanted to create the most detailed business opportunity review site on the internet, and I strive to do that everyday.
2. My first Commission I receive, I still didn't believe earning money online was possible. It is only when I withdrew real cash from the atm that I realize it is really possible. Kinda in the self denial state when I receive my first commission.
3. I got my first commission on the 4th month, some people did it in their first. I would think the average is aroung 6 to 8 months? You must always remember that you are building a brand, an authority, and it takes time. Think long term as to what milestones you want your website to achieve (non financial related), like how many visitors per month.

Another great video. Kyle for President!
This is premature (because I want WA to be my first niche), but when the time comes (soon), I want to know how to replace the banner with a video (or else have it open with a video). I recently learned that slide.ly offers a way to quickly create an attention-getting video.
My idea for this is a guy dancing in his office with just a few lines of text as he gets his co-workers' attention: "This is Chad. Wanna be like Chad? Find out why Chad is happy. Find out how to be like Chad." Quick (13 seconds) and shouts "What's up with that?"
I've already created it, but I haven't bought it. It's just $40 dollars, which includes the ability to make more.
Go, Kyle. Go Chad.

Domains are where you park your websites.....
So If I had 2 or 3 websites each with their own niche.... Ie
one niche - sewing bags
2nd niche - crotchet
3rd niche - macrame
could they all be parked on the same domain ie craftystuff.com or something like that
or does each web site have to have their own domain

I prefer first go through more knowledge about choosing the best niches. Then I will decide which are the most relevant for the market. But I choosed promoting WA products as a start to get to know more about all products here to be ready inviting people to join the business through my own simple website. I will keep it private first not showing it public and get more support from Admins here. It’s amazing g to start step by step. I enjoy it !

If the domain is available in .com, you can use it. There are way more domain names available on the siterubix platform, because it's only available to WA people. When you upgrade to the .com domain name, you may find that your chosen name is already taken though!
If that's the case, you'd have to change it, but there's a little workaround I use: How To Get ANY Domain You Want

Enjoyed this video but needed to go back and repeat some of it to make I understood everything. In some places it went a little fast and I like to take notes. However, quite informative and nicely presented. I feel this will be easy to follow when we are farther along in our website as well.
I like this video. It really does take only 30 seconds to create. I am excited to build my website now. Very good information. I watched the video twice to make sure I did not miss anything, but everything was easy to follow. This is a lot different than my past experience with other internet marketing sites and training.

Hey JacquelineW4 - I agree with you. This is better than other sites but like you I needed to watch it twice but it was still good. Exiting! Exciting!
Very exciting. I am anxious to get it up and running. Easy to follow the directions.

This is so very exciting. I went ahead and purchased a domain. I am 100% sure it is going to be worth the investment. What WA offers in regards to building a website is unreal! Especially in comparison to all that is out there (I've been shopping for years, lol), there really is no competition. All others want to chop everything up and serve it a la carte milking your wallet for all it is worth, just to get a site, then they keep tacking on fees as you realize there are more things you need to have a seamless running website.
Not with WA. You get EVERYTHING! EVERYTHING with your Premium membership. No surprise fees! I am loving WA already and I am only just about to pick a theme for my website. LOL
I can't even imagine what is just around the corner.

If you don't have the budget to upgrade at the moment, that is completely fine. You should work through the Getting Started training (within the "Get Started Here" button in the menu) and take action.
By lesson 4 you are going to have your own niche website up and running. This is the starting point of your business and is the foundation that is going to lead you to success down the road.
When you are ready to upgrade, I know you are going to absolutely love it but at your own pace.

Jason,
That's a great site with many images that are appealing to me. But I have not succeeded in transferring the theme I want to my website. I am able to get it in my files directory but not able to upload or install it.
Any suggestions?
I agree about content being more important than appearance and I have created some content. However, having the right theme on my website is an influence on the content I create.
Thanks a million for all your help and concern. I will continue on with the training while waiting for your response.

Hello everyone, I'm kinda stuck. Or maybe I'm just overthinking this. How important is a website name? I mean does it need to be catchy or do you just need to stick the basic thing it refers to? And are there any rules? Like is it better to be shorter than longer or do you have to make sure no one else has a website named that and does your whole website name have to be included in your domain or just part of it? I don't really know much about domains; what's the difference between having it on a free domain vs one you have to buy? I'm sure these are all silly question to most of y'all. This is all new to me. Thank you in advance for any advice you can give. Tonya

A website name is important, but it does not have to be full of keywords. Rather it has to be something that you like and resonates with you.
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. :)

ok, so I was doing keyword research on Jaaxy and found a good domain name and purchased that. It is not a rubix.com, but a .com. Is there anything other than the fact that I am paying for it that I should know with regards to the hosting platform? I'm assuming I can just select "use a domain I own" but everything else will be per your build a website video?

Nothing at all. The only other potential expense here is a domain name, and that is something that you own just like real estate.
The Managed Wordpress hosting you have access to here at WA is matched by very few hosts in the industry in terms of quality, security, speed, and support. It definitely is not a budget host like the other shared hosting companies out there. The hosting you get here at WA is comparable to $250 per MONTH hosting packages.
You can learn more about it here:

You can host up to 25 of your own domains and 25 free .siterubix.com websites on your Premium hosting platform here at WA.

Am really falling in love with this program, I want to upgrade to the premium cos i have realised that the Starter one even affix SiteRubix to the domain name which makes the domain name too long. My question is that, after paying for the premium fee of $19.00, how much would one be paying every month or for year?
Kyle
Premium
So glad you are loving your experience here thus far, expect more of the same as you do move forward. :)
In terms of the costs of Premium, it is $19 the first month, then it is $49 per month after the first month. This includes absolutely everything you need to create and grow a business online from the training, weekly live classes, he support, the tools, the websites/hosting, the mentoring, network, exclusive access to all updates...you name it.
We also have a yearly option of $359 which is a big discount and that works out to be $29 per month. You can choose either or.
Hope this helps you out Yaw and if you have any further questions let me know.

The only comparable education to us is Full Sail University, which is $40,000 per year. Just some perspective there, and that doesn't include hosting, websites, research tools, etc
And a great number of people go yearly, so you are not speaking for most people. We are the most cost efficient, yet advanced platform in the industry for creating and growing a business online.

So far I am loving this program, but, is it wrong of me to still be a little skeptical? I badly want to join premium but I’m just not sure if I will be good at this as I am not very computer literate. Could I still have some success now and maybe premium later if I prove that I am at very least “decent” at digital marketing?

Your skills in computing will increase very quick here. The advantage of being able to ask questions and get answers is one of the key features here at WA. If you don't upgrade you'll lose access to this.
It's up to you though :) I didn't find it very motivating working without community:)

You can buy domains here at WA directly through the SiteDomains platform. It is a very seamless system and we have implemented some very advanced features so you do not have to deal with the headache of DNS, whois privacy, security, upsells, or of managing your domains within a completely different account.
You can access the SiteDomains platform under the main SiteRubix menu, or you can get to it directly here.
https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/websites/domains
A .com domain will usually run you under $14 per year, with other top level domains varying in price. This includes absolutely everything. You can register any of your domains there and upon purchasing, they will instantly be ready to build your website on!
And once you have your own domain, you can move your .siterubix.com to your own domain at any time. :)

If the issue persists, I suggest creating a hosting support ticket here:
https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/websites/support
You can also find this within the SiteRubix menu under the "SiteSupport"(to the left). This is where you should go if you ever have loading issues with your website, deleting your site, email issues, plugin/theme issues, or if you accidentally do something that adversely impacts your website.
This support is 24/7 and upon submitting your ticket we will look into it right away David!

has anyone noticed, through their experiences, if having the [dot]siterubix[dot]com affects the look of their website from a customer point of view? does it appear spammy? other training i have taken has always said to get a [dot]com domain as it looks more professional. Im just wondering if it affects conversion rates? or if it has a negative impact on sales and conversions. I hope my questions are understandable lol.

Hi everyone!! My website will have surveys for visitors but I need to validate that they are who they say they are before allowing them to complete it (the survey results will be anonymous though). Does the wealthy affiliate platform allow this option? If not, what would be the best way to go about this credentialling process?

Hi Monique, I believe I saw an option to include one of those "I'm not a robot" things on your survey or forms. Or I may have seen a word press plugin that would work.

You can use a service like Survey Monkey to do this. You just embed the survey like you embed a YouTube video. In fact, they are free to use (although there are some premium features they'll advertise).

Hello everyone!
I just need to ask one question. If I start my free domain, when I buy a domain will I be able to change everything or is it only the extension .COM that I can change?
I misspelled the first one and I am concern about whether I will be able to correct it later on.
Or should I create a new one?
Thank you in advance.

Hi Santiago. Welcome to WA. Yes, you will be able to change it later. The siterubix actually is transferred over to your new domain so no worries. You can change it then. I hope this helps.

You cannot change a domain URL after the fact, but you can move websites from one domain to another very quickly here at WA using our MOVE platform.
We actually have a "Move" feature that you will see right within the SiteManager.
https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/websites
You can move any domain to any domain hosted here at WA. For example, if you wanted to move your Siterubix website to a domain that you have purchased, then it is a very simple process.
The "Move" feature also handles for all proper redirects and SEO, it will transfer your site in its entirety and it is as simple as a few clicks. See attached screenshot for what I am referring to here.

Let's see what I can come up with in order to build my website. Quick question though: at this stage of the training I am yet to decide the layout of my website but have already got my niche in mind...shall I just go ahead and create a preview of my webpage following the steps I have just watched in this video and then as I move along the training and become more familiarised with the plugins and add-ons I can come back and keep working on the design of my web or shall I carry on just with the training and leave the web creation for later?

I used to have a Yoga Gems website with Network Solutions, but had to take it down because it had too many of my memoirs on it, which was not acceptable to Hay House, who will be publishing my memoirs. So for my website with WA on the yogic lifestyle, I will leave my memoirs out of it and simply share the yogic teachings I practice, which have led to my liberation. Yet WA does not have any images of people doing Kundalini Yoga, which has very specific angles and postures and a healthy yogic lifestyle, which I have been practicing daily for nearly fifty years. Can I bring in images from the Kundalini Yoga foundation and Mother Ashram for Ashrams around the world, which is across the street from where I live?
Hi, I just watch video of site building process. Perfectly understand, everything is sooo easy and simple. I have a big question - where is on that site,which I will make- WHERE IS PRODUCTS i PROMOTE? Where is link to them on Amazon,for example.. ? I don`t have dilema about my niche, I go there right now after someone explane this to me :) simple question for simple answer :) thanks in advance :)

Hi Biljana! You have to put your own products on your website as you build it. If the products on Amazon are your OWN products then you should have photos of them on your computer already. If you're selling other peoples products as an Affiliate, you should have an affiliate link for each product you're advertising on your website.
Look at my website for instance. baindigitalmedia.com. The image I have attached here is from my affiliate site that has my affiliate link and photos for me to use to advertise the product. On my website you can click that image and it will take you to the product. Since the link embedded in the photo is my affiliate link, I'll earn a commission if anyone actually buys the product. That's how it works.

This seems pretty easy. I'm just wondering about how focused my niche should be. I want to focus on artist's tool at this point, but I want to know if I should be more specific for example, should I build a website that focuses on one specific tool like pencils, or should I focus on tools as a whole?

What type of art? Artist's Tools is a cool brand name and you could head in that direction, but the specificity of your niche could be narrowed down a bit. What type of art, wha type of tools? Brushes? Spray paint? Canvases and Easels?

The SiteRubix site builder is the best!
I have also struggled for years with Wordpress.
The CPanel (Control Panel) is the hardest part. There aren't any clear training's or instructions in setting up your Wordpress website when you use the CPanel. And you have to use it.
Also, there is FTP (File Transfer Protocol) another difficult area of setting up and maintaining websites.. The only thing I got from these systems was...more confused.
Now we have SiteRubix, it is a blessing for me. It does all of the hard work for me and it does it better than I could, even after years of dealing without it.
Now I can focus on the real business that I came here for. This is so much better!
