OK, awesome. You now have your niche, in other words, the direction for your brand & business. That is great and don't worry about this not being "perfectly clear" at this point, as you move forward the pieces of the puzzle are going to come together.
Starting with a big piece today, your website. We are going to be taking our niche idea and turning it into a tangible business starting with your website.
Building a Website Ain't Scary, It's FUN!
Building a website sounds like a "scary" process, but fortunately you have access to the most advanced, yet simplistic website platform in the world here at Wealthy Affiliate. We pride ourselves as a technology company here at Wealthy Affiliate and we are the industry leaders in the website development space.
I am not going to toot our horn any longer, I would rather you experience the website builder and platform for itself. The first step today is going to be building your website, which will literally take you less than 30 seconds.
Click the SiteBuilder link within the menu, and you are going to be ready to rock here (and complete the next task).
Below I have included a video walking you through the Website Platform (also knwn as SiteRubix) here at WA and showing you how quickly and efficiently you can build a website here at Wealthy Affiliate.
DISCUSS VIDEO: Building Your Websites in 30 Seconds, LIterally
Task 1: Build Your Website
Your website is your foundation of your business. It is where all of your traffic is ultimately going to come to, where you are going to build brand and trust within the industry, and where you can promote products/services and generate $$$!
The SiteBuilder platform here at WA is the most simplistic, yet advanced in the industry. It is going to take less than 30 seconds to get a fully operational, profit ready Wordpress website up and running online.
There are 4 steps in the website build process, that I am going to walk you through here. To access the SiteBuilder and EVERYTHING related to your website, you will simply click the light blue "SiteRubix" button in the main menu.
Step 1: Choose the Kind of Website
There are really TWO options here, on a FREE website or on your OWN domain. Ideally, you will have your own domain, but that can come with time.
You can "register" your very own domains right within Wealthy Affiliate using our state of the art SiteDomains platform, which will allow you to instantly set-up your own domain for your own use.
If you are just starting out as a Starter member, you will be building a website on the .siterubix.com domain, which is a completely free website. You can build and host up to 2 FREE websites as a Starter.
As a Premium member, you can build and host up to 25 free websites and the ability to create 25 sites on your own domains (total 50 websites). That is more than adequate to drive many multi-million dollar businesses over time.
For the sake of this training, we are going to be choosing "On a free domain".
Do know that within the Premium membership, you can easily MOVE a free .siterubix.com button to a registered domain (one you may own) using the "Premium Only" MOVE feature. So by all means start off with a free website and then down the road you can move it to your own domain.
Step 2: Choose a Domain
Remember last lesson when I chose my "niche". In this step, I am going to be choosing a name for my website and placing it in the "domain name" field. This is because this will be my website URL and my brand moving forward.
As you can see below, I have added my brand "how to lose belly fat today" into the domain field.
When you type in your domain, it will let you know if it is available or not. In my case it was, but if your first choice is not available simply do another search until you find a domain name that works for you.
You cannot put spaces in your domain name, hence why my domain is "howtolosebellyfattoday".
Step 3: Choose a Website Name
The name of your website should match your domain, but it just needs to be grammatically correct (with proper spacing). You can see below my example of this:
Domain: basketballskillsanddrills.stierubix.com
Title: Basketball Skills and Drills
It is as simple as that. Don't overthink this step, your title will be the same as your domain.
Step 4: Choose a Design
The last step is choosing a "look" for your theme. As a Starter member you will have access to 12, hand picked quality designs.
As a Premium Member though you will have access to over 2,464 designs (as shown below) or your website and there are always new designs being added to this daily. These are referred to as "Themes".
Choose a design that you like.
Click on the design you like, and then you will be able to build your site.
SiteRubix, a Next Level Website and Hosting Platform.
You are going to notice that there are many other website features allocated within the SiteRubix menu. I don't want to eat up too much of your time here, but it is important that you understand the incredible benefits of the SiteRubix platform.
The powerful hosting you have access you here is unparalleled in the Managed Wordpress hosting industry. We truly specialize here in providing a secure, robust and FAST platform for you to run your website.
We know that your website IS your business, and it is important that you have the most advanced technology to keep your business operating at 100% at all times of the day.
The following are just some of the powerful features included within the SiteRubix platform here at WA.
- SiteManager (Starter & Premium)
- SiteContent (Starter & Premium)
- SiteBuilder (Starter & Premium)
- SiteDomains (Starter & Premium)
To make your sites secure and fast, we have some SiteRubix EXCLUSIVE technologies to make sure your websites are operating at lightening speeds, but also in a very secure way that protects you from hackers, spammers, and all forms of erroneous attacks.
- SiteSpeed (Premium Only)
- SiteProtect (Premium Only)
- SiteSSL (Premium Only)
- SiteComments (Premium Only)
- SiteFeedback (Premium Only)
- SiteSupport (Premium Only)
There you have it, the low down of the SiteRubix platform and you have your website officially up and running online. Exciting stuff!
As we move forward within the training we are going to be building out your website content, and working to get indexed and ranked in Google, Bing & Yahoo (and do so for free).

Hi as n new free member or premium member is it possible to create a domain out with siteRubix and attach it to my website? The reason for asking is I am not sure if for any reason I decided to unsubscribe(which at this point I doubt is unlikely) I would like to know if I would be the owner of the domain? I have had advice to keep my domain and hosting separate.

If it is not likely you will unsubscribe, follow the lessons and within short WA will ask you to register your own domain. At WA there is no need to keep hosting and domain separate. In fact I don't see why that could happen anyway.

Hi Steve, welcome to wa.
when you become a premium member you get hosting here for up to 25 domains you buy and you get 25 siterubix sites.
as a free member you get two free siterubix sites.
if you host your domain here then if you leave you just trnsfer your domain to another host, no problems.
i think the advice comes from where the industry standard is that if you buy a domain from somewhere you get ripped off with hosting costs. this is not the case here - $14 for a domain and if you take the black friday yearly costs, about $25 per month.
the hosting is locked down pretty solid - nothing gets in, but then you need to ask for things to talk out. but support here is pretty quick and open all day.
but there is no problem hosting your domain here and building your site out, and if you decide to move on , no problems.
if you start with a siterubi, you can easily transfer your work to a domain you buy , if it is hosted here. a couple of clicks and it is done.
good luck with your decision and getting out of the rat race.

There are 2 main criteria when choosing a niche.
1. Is there a hungry crowd - in other words, do a lot of people want to buy what you are recommending
2. Can you write about the topic several times a week for months to come
If the answer is yes to both then it is worth trying out.

Hi everyone!
Ok so I have a really good feeling about my niche. It's based off of passively training my Labrador Retriever I already have a good idea about what my content is going to entail on my website (Me training my dog and promoting the products, including books I've used in his training).
My vision for my site is to help people passively train their dog without having to pay thousands of dollars for professional trainers or board & train where you send your pup or dog away for someone else to train for a duration of time. I know that the number one way to bond with a new puppy is not only through playing but "DIY" training. I have learned a lot with this approach and my dog and I have a mutual respect for each other.
I've done some due diligence and it looks like my competition would be professional behaviorist's and professional trainer's websites that offer some free tips. Most of them however, don't suggest where to look for good training aids. I have a robust list of specific and good quality products that I've found to work for my high energy lab. I've also made a list of affiliate programs surrounding those products, not just Amazon.com.
Also, for my home description should I mention there that I am not a professional behaviorist/trainer, just an ordinary proud lab owner and this is what I've learned through my experience in training my dog? Disclaimer?
I would love to hear feedback from the community.
What are your thoughts?

When I went in to delete the default post, page, and comment, there was a second page - a privacy policy page - that wasn't in the example in the video. Should I delete this also, or leave it since I assume I'll need to have a privacy policy page at some point and can use and/or modify it as needed rather than create one from scratch?

OMG! I have my FIRST website! Aaah! I'm so excited to learn how to get it fully customized with my own content and see it fully running. This training is so simple and easy to follow. I'm a little bummed that I just didn't have the time with military obligations to do this 3 years ago when I first joined WA. Things happen though and I'm sure that everyone can agree that things happen when the time is right.
I hope that everyone new to this training is having as much fun as I am progressing through the training!

Dear Wealthy Affiliate, you mentioned in the video that you don’t recommend creating your own niche and also being an affiliate marketer for WA at the same time. My questions is when is a good time to do both? Is there any benifit to doing both and are there any advanced members here on Wealthy Affiliate that have their own niches and are now marketing through the WA affiliate program

Hi - this is really applicable when you are in the training stage. It is very in-depth, and it's not recommended that you follow the OEC training (which is for individual niches), and the BootCamp training (which is for WA promotion) at the same time. Decide which one to start with and get your website up and running as a first step.
I agree that is the best course of action. Thank you so much for this information

Yes, there are those of us that are doing both. Unless you already have a large following and can get by on name recognition, so-called "mixed" sites typically don't work very well. Generally, you want to keep them separate -- with one exception I'll explain in a minute.
Put yourself in your reader's shoes. They do a Google search for, say, bass fishing. They come to your site because you are BassFishingDotCom. But as soon as they arrive, they see that half the articles there are about WA and/or making money online in general. What is their likely response? Experience has taught us that they will likely bounce because that is not what they came there for. Will you find the occasional person that is interested? Sure. But most will not. They are not your target audience.
So, instead, if you have a niche site, do as Blake suggested. Create a single page, have a small WA banner in your sidebar, or stick a subtle link in your footer. This will give you something unobtrusive for that handful that might be interested without alienating your regular audience, yet still allows you to really provide what your readers are looking for.
If you do decide you would like to do more, and really promote WA to the fullest, then create a separate website for that so you can attract the specific audience for people interested in online affiliate marketing.
Make sense?

Makes perfect sense! Thank you AJ for this insightful breakdown! This clears things up so much! I will focus on my niche for now until I am ready!
I recently joined a multi level marketing business and would want to sell their products off the website I build. However they have already given me a website where if customers buy from is where my profit generates, can I still make another website and have the purchases link lead them back to my already given website?

The key when building a business online (or offline) is building a focused audience and brand through helping people within a certain niche. It is very difficult to make a product/service your niche and that is the reason people that are within MLM don't actually have a business, they are reliant on the MLM itself versus their own brand/foundation.
You are going to learn how to properly build a business online here at WA in any niche. Within that respective niche, you are going to be able to promote many different products (PRODUCT included). This will position you for much longer term success and a great deal of long term sustainability with your business.
If you can help people, you can create a long term business doing so.

I have a question.. I signed up for Wealthy Affiliate under a specific email that I use to keep my work at home emails organized, however I would prefer to have the email associated with my new web page to be specific to the website. If I edit that email on the website, does it also update the email associated with my WA account?
feigner

no they are two separate things. imagine what would happen when you add a second site....
if you want to change your email within your wa account - clik on your image at the top left and then on account settings.
you will now go to a page where you can edit your account settings.
I haven't changed mine - but clicknig the edit button gives you the option to change your email address.
good luck

Also, the domains I purchase - can they be used for any kind of website, or must they be for affiliate marketing purposes only? For example, if I already have a business that needs a website, can I use one from a domain I purchase here? Maybe I would add links as an affiliate, maybe not. Or what if I want to build an online store for a drop-ship business? Can the two be mixed? Affiliate marketing within my own online store website?

To answer your first question The chances to make money is high but only for the individuals that treat this as a business. It's the internet so money is out there
But it depends on the work you put in if it's dedicated valuable work then 6 mos to a year i would say a person can attain full time wages and more
To answer your 2nd question Yes your site is yours to do what you like within rules and guidelines of the internet. I have a site for my business and then i am working on an affiliate site
Wealthy Affiliate is a training platform to guide us in success with the perks of hosting, security, support, and much more
Hope that made sense

You purchase a domain name for what you need it. If you want to do a niche site, do affiliate marketing and direct sales that is ok.
Here you learn more about affiliate marketing than building an online store but I think everything is covered.
Most important for a website to get traffic is that you understand SEO and niche research and building content.

Yes in addition to Shannonkamal said, which is right, you can use your domain for anything, even an existing business :)
My question was regarding real statistics. I'd like to know how many people make a successful business this way, percentage-wise and approximately how long it takes to start making decent money. I'm not looking for get rich quick examples, I'd like a realistic idea of how much time vs return on investment, on average.

Hi, I think this is hard to say, most, I think about 90% never make any money with their website but this is due to that they stop trying before it works.
To learn affiliate marketing, website business SEO and making sales takes time like any profession.
Everyone that keeps at it will finally make money. How much again depends a lot on the effort made, the niche and the system they use.

I love what Jerry Huang has to say about motivation. Most of us newbies are here with the mindset of "get rich quick." I have realized after many attempts that the only get rich people are those that offer the product rather than the service.
I am looking through comments so will post more observations and questions as I thread through this weave.

Hey all,
So while watching this training video and reading over the information about niche, I was thinking about my dog the whole time. I found my Lab online while I was in de mobilization status in TX, I spent two days at home in CA before driving out to MO to pick him up from the breeder. Since I've had him, I've researched on all the puppy training that I possibly could. The cost of a dog trainer is e-x-p-e-n-s-i-v-e and not only that, training is #1 bonding with your dog. I didn't want to pay thousands of dollars for someone else to bond with MY dog! So I was thinking about creating a website around training your own puppy and share all the information that I've learned, promote the training products that I've used (treat bag, eCollar, dummy duck etc...) as well as books on puppy/dog training, and what my pup has taught me along the way.
Does this sound like a good niche? What are your thoughts?

Thanks for the reply and insight. Do you mean keyword research? Keywords that users would enter into the search engine (Google, Bing...) then websites come up with closest match. Maybe I haven't got to that part of the training. I'm sure there's something up ahead that explains keywords and ranking.

Thank you for the feedback everyone! I love this! I've paused the first video on creating your first website. Now it looks like I'll be brainstorming ideas for a domain name, website name/title.
Something along the lines of DIY Black Lab puppy/dog training. My Lab will be 1 year old at the end of May and his name is Toby. lol. The vision that I have for the site is that I will explain all of the steps that I have learned and found that worked well in learning to train my dog without having to spend thousands of dollars on dog trainers and boarding schools. I'l display my own photos and videos of me and Toby doing the training and I'll promote the products and books that I've used all along the way.

Okay, so my question is a simple one. As my WA profile says I'm a curious person and with that comes along alot more failures than success however I'm also a family man and need to be able to provide for my family's needs as well so what happens if I need more time to determine if this helps or is just (sorry for the phrase) a waste of time or not a very good investment? I mean some people are on a tight budget and may need more than just a few days to upgrade if choose to.Again sorry for the phrase.

Hi - you can stay as a starter member for as long as you wish. You can work on your 2 free websites. However, you are limited to the first 10 lessons, which can make it more challenging.
If you choose to upgrade within the first 7 days, it is offered at a discount of only $19. The monthly price after that is $49, although it is considerably cheaper to pay yearly.
You can cancel at any time, but there are no refunds.
Please be aware that this is not a get rich quick scheme, and takes time, effort and patience. Please have a look at the attached link below. New To WA, Want To Quit or Have Doubts? Success Stories Will Show You The Money!

As a comment on the above post, I guess many of us struggled when we first tried to get set up. When I set up my first wordpress site it took me 3 days just to sort out the database and integrate it into the wordpress installation.
Then later I discovered there was a button within the control panel of the server that would do it all automatically. I won't mention some of the words that came out of my mouth.
However, I am still at it and now I can have a wordpress site up and running with a header image that I have created and at least one post in about half an hour.
Practice makes perfect. Lifelong learning is the key though.

Jammy,
I can totally relate to situations like this. Starting off on something can seem like you're moving at a snails pace. But then after you've gone through it (at least once), and you learn something new, doesn't it seem like the work comes a lot FASTER after that?
I like being able to reflect back to being new at something and laugh.
Thank you for this post for it is keeping me inspired and something to keep in mind for future learning experiences. ;)

Yes (and no). You will certainly learn how to set it up and build a list. And you can always have sign-ups going to your site email, which is available here. However, if you are wanting to do some form of autoresponder series, you will need to use an outside source such as Mailchimp, Aweber, etc.

Hi Team! .... I'm really getting excited about building this website and am up to level 2 where i have to be a premium member to press on. But I'm still not sure if it's for me. So can you tell me if i can unsubscribe after this month if it doesn't suit. Cheers Bobby

Hi, no problem, you don't even have to unsubscribe, if you don't pay anymore you're out :)
Just make sure the auto pay setting is inactive :)
And don't buy a domain as long as you're not sure you'll stay at least 6 months or so :)

You can definitely resubscribe later. I recommend taking advantage of the first-month discount so you can see everything Wealthy Affiliate has to offer. You can then decide if it's for you.

So far so good, I found this lesson easy to follow and very helpful. I have had a long day sorting out finance at the bank to go premium, but my gut is telling me it was a good investment. Up early tomorrow, go for a walk in the park then home and get stuck into the next bit. Awesome!
Agree, I am a starter. I did a few weeks of research and are very impressed with WA

Hello, From what I understand at the Cash Flow area, that says it will be replenished my X,Yand Z and used for site comments, site Facebook, and site domains. That Cash Flow credit will only be used for that and cannot be withdrawal? What if a High Rank person has a lot of referrals and have a lot of Cash Flow credit and most is used for the site comments, site Facebook, and site domains and still have a lot of more Cash Flow credit and can't withdrawal his earnings? Thank you. Hope I make sense

Hi - I presume you are talking about the Credit Dashboard? Just under the section you have mentioned, there is an exchange for cash option with a slider to pull across to select how much you wish to withdraw.

Yes, as soon as you publish thats it live on the net.
I personally type everything in Word and save it.
This way I can go over it as many times as I want to.
I can also use the spellinh and grammar check and even put in my H Tags and links.
When I'm 100% happy with it then I simply copy/paste it into a blank page in Wordpress.
Works for me Neil so maybe you should try it.

Hello from Nottingham! Yes, it will be live but if your site hasn't been indexed, then Google hasn't seen it yet, so nobody else will be able to. Realistically, it will be a while before you get any visitors. Once you have published it, if you wish to make more changes, the editing is done through WordPress.

Hi Guys, I am just getting started with your program and just got done listening to your second video "choose your Niche" I am very interested in the dog niche. I just got certified as a "Raw Dog Food" specialist and now I am in the process to find out how many people are interested in finding out how they can give their dogs a better life through better nutrition in feeding vs. what is available in the market as traditional pet food nutrition . My husband is very interested in the CBD niche and we would like to get a little feedback on the CBD products as it relates to a niche as far as marketing on line goes. Hemp just got legalized with the government to be able to now grow and process industrial hemp to convert to the different CBD products like oils, creams, pet products etc. We feel that the CBD market is just at the beginning with lots of future potential. Is it possible to market hemp and CBD products online and if so, what part of social media marketing would you implement to market CBD products? We are to understand that most online marketing companies like google, facebook, amazon, ebay, etc. will not let you market CBD products including payment systems like paypal will not let you accept payments for these products.
How do you feel about this market in the present time, is it doable? Looking forward to getting set up and making money!! Thank you . Jutta

I am not certain on the legal aspects of CBD products but as far as a niche I think it's a great idea. Working as an affiliate marketer guiding customers to other's products may mean you won't have to worry about the payment end of it since you'll just be earning the commission by sending customers to others. If you wanted to design and market your own product down the line, you then would need to answer those questions but as far as affiliate marketing I think that is a very doable niche.
Thanks, Shannon

The video really shows how its important to start thinking about a niche. For instance I like becoming an affiliate with Amazon.
When at the same time I'm wondering how becoming an affiliate with WA would affect my desirable income in the future. What % could be expected from the affiliate program.

You will be able to become an affiliate of many different programs, amazon being one of them.
This doesn't have much to do with your niche, as within any niche there are going to be 1,000's of products/services that you can promote across a myriad of affiliate programs.
The commission % range from program to program, some 2%, some up to 75%. It just depends on the program.

Hi, small question. When searching for keywords on Jaxxy through WA (the Research button) or on the Jaxxy's official website, it wouldn't show me the QSRs automatically unless I click "Get QSR" which is displayed directly under KQI. So I would have to click on each row one by one (Get QSR Button) in order for it to pop up. Not sure if this sounds familiar, but is there a way for all of them to pop up automatically as shown in the training? Thank you
I've just joined. Checking this out. Not sure if it's for me yet but I was with Clickfunnels. Canceled that! I'm now working on a platform to automate my affiliate product marketing throughout the social arena.
So I guess I'm here to learn more about how to market and pick up some ideas. I don't have any products of my own and don't want to market interests I might have. I just want to market OPP (Other Peoples Products).

Well if you are looking to create and grow a business the PROPER way online, you are in the right place.
I have spent some time breaking down the process in the most simplistic way possible. Success online is at the core a 4 step process and I have broken them down within this video: How to Create an Online Business - The 4 Steps Broken, down, the process looks like this:
Step 1: Choose your niche
Step 2: Build your website/content
Step 3: Get rankings in search engines (leads to traffic)
Step 4: Monetize your traffic (the make money part, through affiliate programs, etc!)
This applies in absolutely every niche and as you work through the training here at WA, you are going to be walked through this exact process. This is fundamental for ANY success online.
If you have any further questions let me know Jason. :)

Good to be back, after several months and continuing to work on my training. Just completed the "Keyword Mastery" class and it was fun watching the video tutorial and completing the exercises,. I did do about 7 searches choosing words that are related to my niche. Couldn't find a lot though that met the keyword criteria. Is that normal depending on my niche?

Sometimes you just have to keep trying different combinations and phrases until you find keywords that meet the criteria. Remember the goal initially is to find keywords that are not competitive so that you can rank quickly and start to gain authority.
Then once you've done that, you can start to target the higher competition keywords.

Ok, so I don't like trickery, but the video shows that the basic keyword search is available to starters and premium members, and according to the video (approx 4:20) it shows the QSR as being shown to beginning members, but then when you go and use it, there's no QSR listed, making the list ineffectual in regards to the instruction. Then when I went in and typed a keyword and looked at the results, when I hit the bottom to view the list, it charged me for another hit on the list. This is not straight forward. If you're going to give a taste of the actual product, you can't do so without actually giving access to the information. So, it's basically useless unless you pay a fee.

Whoa... slow down. You have access, so no point in getting upset until you have the facts.
Kyle is using the Enterprise version of Jaaxy in the video. It does everything automatically. When you are doing as much keyword research as him, you will likely need it to. However, it is a paid service and you don't need that at this level.
Included with your membership is the Lite version. You have to do everything manually, but it is still all there. Find the keyword you are interested in and scroll over to the QSR column. Click on the link that says "Get QSR" and it will pull the number for that keyword.

Perhaps you misunderstood, but the lite version of Jaaxy requires you to actually click on the blue highlighted Get QSR link of the keywords you want the numbers to. Many people have made this mistake, but Jaaxy works perfectly and there's no trickery or any fee's with the lite version.

Yes, I understand the process now. Thank you. But I did my first search and thought I did something wrong because of the missing information, so I x'd out of that one and did a new one, to which by instruction by others and yourself, was able to click on the proper link to uncover the information. My question pertains to the first search I did. Is that saved that I can go back and view the information, or is that lost forever since I x'd out of it?

Not sure why that is but you can login into your WP Admin area from Site Manager and edit your headings there.
The other option is just write directly in the back end of your site instead of using Site Content. I always use my site instead of Site Content.
The advantage of site content is the goal setting and free image search, but you can still search those images out in Site Content and then download to your PC or laptop first then upload to your site via "Add Media" button while you're in edit mode of your posts.
I hope this helps a bit,

In the very first page I stumbled on, you shared the hard, cold truth that most fail at making money with internet business. Do you have a success rate percentage for your program? Also, if I steadily work through this training and apply it to build websites, is there an average length of time I can expect to start earning good money? Any ratios you can share on time/money investment to earnings would be helpful. I do understand it takes time and work. Thanks!

That question is a tough one because everyone works at a different pace and they all have different websites. Once committed here and you complete all of the training you can start seeing decent traffic in under 6 months. The money would depend on the products and how effective your content might be. 12% Upgrade here at WA, not sure on total platform success because there's people that have been here over ten years and WA has 1.5 million. This platform will teach you the process and how to succeed if you're premium.

Hi, I am new to this site and using the free starter version. I just finished editing the privacy policy and published it to my site, but after following all the instructions in the video and following along, I noticed that the Privacy Policy on the website is different than the one I edited.
It has multiple headings listed between some of the paragraphs with nothing underneath them, and the paragraphs have different content than the ones I was shown in the template. Did I do something wrong, and if so, how can I fix it?

Wow, that ended quite abruptly. From the posts I found of WA while job searching, I was under the impression that everything needed to get your business up and working was included in free membership. Not just the fundamentals of getting the website up. While I truly believe in this program, with a small monthly SSI disability income I just can't afford $49 a month. Maybe in the future. I wish everyone luck on their journey. I hope one day I'll be able to return.

I can understand your frustration which relates to your condition and truely sorry to hear that.
Although I am new not only to this community but also to the whole internet money making scheme all I can understand nothing is free and easy in this world - but with WA they will guide you every step of the way in making it happen (that is your internet store and ideas to be successful in online making money). Of course, beyond that is up to the person him/herself what they want to do with their website.
Trust me, I have gone through so many things in my past in order to be successful of what I was doing at the time, however, it never happens until I found this site where I starting to believe that I might have found the light of my life in it through WA as they slowly proving themselves on what they have promised after been following their recommendation - ie. support.
All I can say is hang in there and try working out what people’s need when they shop online. Easiest way to find out is by communicate to your surrounding if they do online shopping and what do they buy. Then, from there you decide what you want do sells your website while you putting out your very own personalised website to suit then grow from there.
Like I said, I am still new but this is what I will do for myself and believe nothing is better than knowing the needs of your own people that live around you as a whole,
I hope this help and wish you all the very best on your journey whichever side you going to choose.

Hi everyone! Question: I am not sure whether to target my business worldwide. My niche is upcoming in the Netherlands, although money earning wise (availability of affiliate programs) is more limited plus of course in comparison a relatively narrow target audience. Certainly insecure about my writing skills in English, thinking I will be unable to create quality content in a non-native language.
Any advice? Would love to target the Dutch audience. However is it wise to start with, during this learning phase (support/feedback/chance of succes-wise)?

I would say that it would be a good idea to try your native language first in the learning phase. You can then get more comfortable about how the online world works etc. You can always build on to that specific niche and broaden it later on. As for the affiliate programs, it does not matter if for example i'ts based in US. I mean, when I look at Amazon, its US, but I know many South Africans who also purchase from them online. So you could still have customers purchasing from your site even if you are in a different country. Hope I make sense. This is just my personal opinion though. Let's see what others think as well 😊 All the best!

Thanks so much for your advice. It will be a little more easy to start in my native language. Actually, Amazon doesn't ship to the Netherlands (or with ridiculous high shipping cost). That was the one of the main reasons why I hesitated. However, as you mentioned, I can always broaden it later and first look at the possibilities here. 🙏🙏

This platform & this course is absolutely remarkable. The founders & everyone involved absolutely nailed it to the T on timing. Upgrading to Premium at this precise time felt like the natural thing to do. There wasn't so much content that I felt overwhelmed or lost in the details. I accomplished everything I set out to do in this leg of the journey & I was ready. The value of my WA membership was immediately demonstrated in how I gained valuable knowledge & skills DURING the time I spent within this community as a free, starter member. I just upgraded today & I'm motivated for what comes next. Onward!

Welcome to Wealthy Affiliate. We’re happy to meet you, SherAnne.
Just follow the training program step-by-step and I think you will find the success you're looking for.
Try not to move on to the next lesson until you have completed all the recommended tasks and checked them off the checklist. This is important because later lessons are often built on the foundation work you did previously.
If you have any questions or need anything, please don't hesitate to ask. We're all here to help :-)

I have come across affiliate marketing more times than I can count through the last 20 or so years but I never really understood how lucrative it can really be until I found WA. I can see now that there is literally no way to fail unless you just plain do nothing! I'm really excited to get going! Thanks WA and everyone here :)

I've had that happen myself. I think some themes may be including a policy page automatically.
Log into your websites wordpress dashboard. Go to pages tab. Simply delete the one that you do not want.
If you have all-in-one SEO installed, edit the page that you want to change to noindex, no follow.
Best wishes.

In Level 1 training Kyle mentions revisiting "What are your money goals" discussion regularly when in need of some motivation and I'm wondering if there's a way to jump to my original post there without scrolling through thousands to revisit this.....or is he simply implying to view it often for some general motivation? I would at least like to review it so I can write mine on my"dream sheet" that I keep. Thank you!!

Been exploring keyword searches (and having a lot of fun with it). Sticking to the rules around QSR and traffic numbers but if something has very high traffic but also higher QSR is it still worth including in my keywords? eg Avg 140154 Traffic 23827 but QSR 173.
Thanks for any advice!

is it possible for me to see something in the store and think it's a good item and then I'm going to website and try to become affiliate or is it just something on the Internet you can do in other words can you be a product that I think is a good use but I use as long as they have an affiliate program or is there a certain website or web page that I have to go through

It has to be able to purchase online. Otherwise your "website" can't sell them. You have to be part of an affiliate program to make money by reviewing products.

Is it okay if our niche is kind of broad? For my first niche, I’m interested in women’s health and beauty. Period products, medications, diet and exercise, makeup, skincare, bath and body. Maybe sexual wellness if that’s allowed. I realize it’d be my website that I’d be making but I didn’t know if that kind of thing would be inappropriate for this community. I want my first website to be a place that can help woman feel good about themselves.

The reason you want to be specific with your niche is for conversions. In other words, if your website was about something broad like "women's health" you could have people showing up for a multitude of reasons but not finding what they were looking for. However, if your site was about something specific like skincare for women in their 40's, well now you have a very targeted audience arriving at your website and the potential for them to find what they're looking for is very high, meaning high conversions.

Ohhh okay! I think I’ll stick to period products to start with. There’s so much out there and every girl and woman can relate. What do you think?

First of all, anything can be a good niche depending on how you spin it. Those are all popular topics, which is good, but it also means they are the most competitive as well.
That's why we teach to niche "down" to something much more specific. It's far easier to rank for and find traffic. So-called “just a little bit of everything” sites like you're proposing almost never work unless you already have an audience.
When selecting a niche, I always recommend going with what you are most passionate about. One tip that has always helped me is to look at it this way:
Pick something that excites you. You are going to be creating a lot of content over time, with little reward in the beginning, so what topic (niche) would you talk about most, even if you weren't getting paid for it?
For instance, my niche is the topic of writing. I am constantly talking about it and helping others with their writing, have done so for years, and up till now never made a dime at it; I just enjoy it and love sharing that passion with others. In other words, I can't imagine NOT talking about writing.
The only difference now is that I am sharing it in the form of a blog that I have monetized.
Put some time and thought into this. If you choose something you aren't excited about, you will likely burn out long before you get enough content out there to be successful.
Hope this helped. :-)

Out of all of the topics I wanted to talk about, period products are probably my biggest thing. I know it probably sounds weird that I get excited over that kind of thing but it’s something I have to deal with once a month, every month. Over time I’ve come to find my favorites but I’m still exploring that world and finding even more favorites. Period products are a necessity so I think I could get a lot of traffic if I try hard enough.

Perfect!
And don't worry if it sounds "weird". In fact, that's precisely what makes it a great niche... most women need it; but it's such an uncomfortable topic to talk about for most people, there is likely little competition. You won't know for sure, however, until you do your research.
Now start brainstorming some keywords you might go after and run them in the Research Tool. Once you've identified the ones with good numbers, make a master list of posts you can write for each keyword. And don't forget to check out the competition. Plug those keywords into Google and see what you're up against.
I think you're on to something here :-)

Thank you sooo much for you help! I will definitely use that research tool. I’ve never understood why that’s such a taboo thing to talk about but I think it needs to be talked about. I’ve googled things about that before and found little to no answers because no one ever talks about it. And if they do, it’s the same exact thing that everyone else says. I want to be able to help girls and women with the things I had to figure out for myself.

Great thank you for clearing that up for me. So one thing that I am passionate about is homesteading even though I don't have land, I don't have a farm I'm working on my garden now as we speak. But it's something that I've been researching for a while and it's a goal of mine to get there when I'm ready to retire.
Seems I am getting overwhelmed with emails of support from you guys & I still haven't decided how far I want to pursue this. I'll say right now that until you get me to the point with this free stuff that I can complete my first affiliate deal, There will be no response to join the premium stuff. I have to have cashflow to pay for it.
If you think I am wishing for too much for free, say so & I will move on!

Sure, whatever makes the most sense to you Don. No pressure at all and by lesson 4 alone you are going to have your very own niche website up and running (on the free membership).
Just consider your approach to education here though. Do people expect to earn money as a surgeon, before they go to school to become a surgeon? No. People have the tendency to treat their own success and business different. Just don't get caught into that trap.
We are the most trusted and respected platform in the industry by a long shot, so work through the training at your own pace. Whatever makes the most sense to you and your situation though.

Hello everyone,
Hope you all are doing great.
I need an assistance, as I have created a website where in I have not mentioned one word which is 80% important to my website link want to know is there any possibility to edit website link.
And my second query is, my niche is apparels and in my website I have mentioned Mr and Mrs that mean I have to focus on both I.e: men and women. In this scenario do I have to focus only at one or will be okay both.
Awaiting for response,
Mukhtarul.

Hi, Mukhtarul.
I could not find inside WA platform a way to change the website link, it could be possible to change directly at your wordpress platform, the question is if it will automatically change at WA?
Another alternative is to create a new one and delete the older, as it could seem a lot work, it'll be also more experience for you as in "pratice, pratice a pratice", right?
As for your second, "apparels" seems to be too broad of a category, it could be hard to maintain specially if you are begining.
What I would do is focus on a smaller segment like party dresses for women or sport clothes for men, of course that you should choose something related to what you have first intented.
As you gain more experience you can advance to another niche, and another, until you cover the full spectrum.
I hope that helps as I'm too in the beginning, any criticism to my approach is very welcome.
And sorry for my english as it's not my mother tongue. 🤓

Don't worry about upgrading. That can always come later when you are ready. The main thing is to walk through the lessons to understand how to make your website. I learned the hard way...created a website too soon...I know it appears to be one of the first things you need to do, however, I had to conduct my own research, outside of WA, to learn how others were using the Affiliate Programs. The more knowledge I gained, the more questions I had circling around in my head. I have just chosen my website name and finally decided on which WP Them I wanted to use...after needing to delete the first one that I selected.

Don't upgrade until you are ready. Just keep going through level 1 until you understand. You will still be able to read the blogs on the main dashboard and access some of the member training as it comes up. After 7 days you will just lose some features and will be on your own. Make good use of the next couple of days to ask relevant questions and take action on the answers.
When you have got your head around everything, then upgrade for even more training and community access.
You can stay a starter member as long as you need but you must log in and work on the training.
It is better to take your time and do it right rather than upgrade and get overwhelmed and drop out and miss the wonderful opportunity ahead of you.

It's worth the upgrade. because for 19.00 you can get all the help you need. Also anything worth doing is going to cost you something, if you have money invested you will stay with it. Remember you will have all the help you need on anything you don't understand. Just take the training one step at a time. this is not a race Rome was not built in a day. It was built one brick at a time. Take your time, and you will have a great website that makes you a lot of money. Hope this helps, contact us anytime.

First, take a deep breath. Take another one. Okay, now. Go back to lesson 1, and start all over. You have got to lay the groundwork in order to be successful. I went Premium more than 3 weeks after I joined the Starter program and still got the $19 deal. It will be worth it and after completing Level 1, you'll be eager to go Premium. You'll be just fine.

I think you have a good idea in the niche. However, come up with a plan to set them all within the "digital products" and create one or two domains. Once your start create more domains, you now have more to work on everyday.
Also, you may lose focus on getting traffic and SEO pointed in your direction. Think of it like traveling to a location, there are many different routes to travel.
How many can you travel at once?
If you try to travel multiple directions, the confusion and misdirection will increase your travel time.
But if you focus one direction. The trip will be forward with less confusion and hopefully less time.

Well, my niche are multiple like football, men's clothes, cleaner etc. I just want to know is it essential I have to choose any one of them or it will be okay.
As far as I have been through training videos and understand instead of multiple niche I should focus on one, otherwise I will get confused and will not be able to learn process.

Hi - yes, you should just have one niche per website. You wish to be seen as an authority in your subject, not somebody who "dabbles" in lots of things.
Plus, you will confuse your visitors. If I go to your site to read about football, I don't want to see articles on men's clothes. I would soon leave, then you have lost a potential customer.

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 Sasa!

Not sure about the "face to face" as many of us are extremely busy. But as far as knowing more, just follow the training program step-by-step and try not to move on to the next lesson until you have completed all the recommended tasks and checked them off the checklist. This is important because later lessons are often built on the foundation work you did previously.

What I am getting from this video is that I have to choose one thing. Now Can it be a line of products? I want to make my niches in the world of organic products, like makeup, antiaging products, hair products, clothes, food, homes, etc. So, if I want to start one niche let's say makeup. Do I have to choose, just lipsticks, or foundations, etc? Can I let's say choose foundations and then from there branch out to make up? Thank you all so very much for your help!! ;-)

As you are thinking about your niche, think about what products you can write a lot of articles about. I am not familiar with the make up niche, but is it possible to write several articles about just lipsticks? Or just foundation?
What you may want to consider is when you are creating your menu, have a menu topic "lipstick", then another menu topic "foundation", then another menu topic "concealer", etc. Then add your products under each one of those menu items and write about different kinds of lipsticks, perhaps giving reviews on the best ones to use because they last longer or they are organic, or whatever, etc. Whichever product brands you choose to write about, after you've built your traffic, find out if those brands have an affiliate program and then promote those items on your site.
These are all just thoughts and suggestions that I hope you find helpful. If not, then totally ignore me. LOL.
Wishing you all the best.
Warm regards,
Yvette

It's about the niche to choose.
I'm a biz broker and help people buy biz, and new buyers become entrepreneurs.
I also have been cooking many kinds of food/recipes for more than 40 years.
Right now the kitchen/food/herbs-spices/appliances, etc is really fun for me. But, I'm concerned about writing something and it not really being the right thing to say.
On the other hand, I would have some expert consulting advice for new entrepreneurs in choosing the best way to get into biz.
It seems Kitchen would be an easier niche to promote, though.
What are your thoughts about the better niche?

Hi, I can't find add description in Yoast SEO. I've built my site prior to joining Wealthy Affiliate so assume it's only available as a premium member. I'm going to upgrade in the next day or so before my 7 days runs out, so would it be available to me then? I didn't realise I could add my social media accounts inside Yoast SEO, so just done that!! I'm always learning something new here :)

I am not sure I understand the question. Are you trying to add a description to your website using the Yoast plug in?

Hi PastorDre, I can easily add meta tags, descriptions, and titles to wordpress blog posts using Yoast SEO. I had a quick look to see if I could add a description to the site main homepage but could only find the usual title and tagline. :)

Oh ok I see maybe try going to your dashboard > Settings > General> Site Title and right underneath that is tagline. Type in your preferred site title and tag line. Let me know if that works for you.

Thanks PastorDre, I've already done that. I think I was confusing general site settings with Yoast SEO in posts :) Looking at the video I thought you could add a description in site general settings. I'd never seen that before. Thanks for your help:)

Hi - yes, the version we use which is included in the membership is Jaaxy Lite, so you need to click to get the QSR. Kyle uses an upgraded version.

I don't believe we have anything that teaches that specifically, but you shouldn't let that stop you. Perhaps you could contact the companies you already have affiliate agreements with, or just reach out to other manufacturers with your ideas. If you want it bad enough, don't let anything or anyone get in your way :-)

Hi Kyle, after spending almost a whole month on WA, seeing this video for the umpteenth time, I can finally say I'm making sense of Menus and Widgets.
It certainly slowed my progress because I see the knowledge of website design as fundamental to my success online.
Right this moment I can't control my emotions! Eureka!
Thanks very much, Kyle and everyone I've asked and will be asking further questions.

I have my niche or actually I have chosen three but I'll start with one for now and see how to build it out. the raining thus far has been outstanding. Straight forward, clear, concise no fluff no big hype about thousands upon thousands of dollars no BULL! I like that. Clear Honest and committed training that will take a novice up to the threshold of a new Busines. Great!

Am new to all this ,I never knew anything like this exist until a friend told me about it ,since I registered I have glue my eyes to the screen ,an the training is well educated ,the explanation is easy to digest ,now my question ,if I create a website from WA platform will I own the full right to it or what ,then if I created blog can others out of this platform (WA) have the privilege to my write up .

Hi - if you create a site using the free ones which you are given as a starter member, then no, you don't own it.
If however, you purchase a .com domain, then yes, you have the full rights to it, and if you leave WA, you can take it with you to another hosting provider.
Nobody on this platform can see your website if that is what you mean by your other question, unless you share a link to it in your profile.

I am plowing ahead with great deal of motivation. I watched the Niche video nd I really get it. This is a terrific program for learning. best I have ever experienced so far. Kyle and Carson have nailed it mostly because they seem to be genuinely devoted to helping people get into this in a successful and very methodic way! Thanks a bunch. Can't wait to keep learning.

I am certainly planning on upgrading to Premium at some point, although I am brand new to this concept of affiliate marketing and am wanting to minimize the financial risk involved in a new endeavor such as this. Is it possible to be able to begin bringing in income without having to pay anything out of pocket to get started or will the premium membership be necessary prior to bringing in any income whatsoever?
AJTrimble1

Yes and no. Upgrading to premium is not required, of course. And some people have been successful with only a free site. However, they generally came in with prior knowledge and experience.
If you are a complete beginner it can be tough without it. You can always supplement your education with things like YouTube and the like, but just know that doing it on your own is harder and will most likely take longer with more "hiccups" along the way. There's just so much to know to do this right, and sometimes the littlest thing can set you back.
It is healthy to be skeptical. And, for what it's worth, I was the same way. But I decided to take advantage of the $19 first month deal and I haven't looked back since.
Just do what you feel works best for you at the moment.
Hope this helps :-)

Yes, this helps me very much. I suppose $19 is just a $20 bill and I can sacrifice a few coffees this month in order to make a solid go of this. Thanks for the heads up and advice, and I'll upgrade to premium first thing tomorrow after I get some sleep. Take care and thanks again.
Aaarrrrrghhhhh, Yes, that was scary, building my website!! April Fool's!! No it wasn't. My niche is something I am actually passionate about, peasant tops for curvy (plus size) hippie chicks. I have created many and sold many, but that takes a whole lotta time. Now it's just a hobby. Being an affiliate for someone else's creations seems a whole lot better.

Hello all. I'm brand new to WA today. Not an April fool as it were. I have a simple question. Does anyone have statistical data on which affiliate sites do the best for marketing? Which website get the most hits per day. per week, per month etc? Obviously, getting into an affiliate provider that pushes your product you promote seems to me to be the key to success.

the evergreen niches are the ones that do the best- health wealth and happiness, but they are the hardest ones to break into.
but you shouldn't come into this just to make money - it really should be helping first, so they value you.
with that in mind anything you are good at can be valued.
if you want stats or comparisons then go to google trends and see what is the latest and greatest, but next month it wil lbe something else.
you are better off creating a site about something you know well and care about to help others who care about the same.
good luck

Not necessarily. The key to success is going with a niche that you are passionate about. You will be writing dozens, if not hundreds, of articles about your topic, and if it is not something that you feel inspired enough to work for months on end without seeing any results, then you will burn out long before you get there.

Right on, AJ. Additionally, catching review traffic is way too early in the buying cycle. You're probably just setting them up for somebody else.
