Niches...this is the scariest word for most people when starting out. However, the idea of a niche should not scare you. Instead it is rather exciting!
What is a Niche?
A niche is a distinct segment of a market, in other words an "audience".
When choosing a niche that fits you, you should be choosing something that is ideally an interest, a passion, a hobby, a problem, a need or a want. Almost anything you can think of is a niche and that is why we are going to get you to choose YOUR niche based on things that you are interested in. You can earn money online from absolutely every single niche because there are billions of people out there searching every day.
The idea of a niche can be a little confusing at first, so I have created a video walk-through for this lesson that is going to walk you through what a niche is, how you earn money through a niche, and I will get you choosing your initial direction online. Watch the video below...
DISCUSS THIS VIDEO HERE: Choosing Your Direction - It Starts With a Niche!
Your online business should not feel like a day job. Earning money online should be fun, and it is fun. This all starts with choosing a niche that you are interested in and will enjoy working with.
The more you enjoy doing something the less it feels like a job and the more productive you are going to be. Carson and I are immensely passionate about online business and teaching people how to make money online, so that is the niche we have chosen with Wealthy Affiliate.
Your niche could be anything, but at the core of your niche selection it should be something that you "like". Something you enjoy. Something you can talk about. Something you want to learn about.
But Really, a Niche is a Group of People
In the simplest form, a niche is really a group of people looking for stuff. When you select your niche, you want to avoid being too broad with your niche selection. What people fail to understand is the fact that there are millions of people looking for stuff online within what seems to be the smallest of niches, but they really are not.
Because of this, I have spent some time putting together a blog post outlining how you should approach your niche selection, how to avoid going too broad with your niche, and how to really narrow it down to a group of people that are more specific and targeted.
READ BLOG POST: A Niche is a Group of People Looking for New Stuff
I provide you with some real life examples of how to break down a broad niche into more specific groups. There is also a very active discussion there if you have any questions about your particular niche or you want to join in the on the conversation. ;)
Task 1: Choose Your Direction
We want you to select the niche that interests you most and gets you the most excited. You can either choose your own niche at this point or you can choose the "make money" niche (that should be your choice if you have no idea what niche to choose).
A few things that you should understand about niches are:
(1) You are going to be writing content within your niche
(2) You are going to be communicating within your niche
(3) You are going to be choosing products to promote within your niche
(4) You need to enjoy helping people within your niche.
(5) Your first niche PROBABLY won't be your last (so don't worry about it being perfect)
(6) Any niche can become a "full time" successful business
There is NO SUCH THING as choosing the wrong niche.
Also, note that niches can always change. Just because you are choosing a niche now does not mean you will be in this particular niche forever. Either way, please do not spend a week choosing your niche. Within the next 15-30 minutes (maximum) you should have your "starting point" niche chosen.
If you are REALLY STUCK at this point and you cannot decide on a niche, perhaps you may be interested in the "make money" niche.
If you don't have a niche at this point, this will be your niche and we have an Affiliate Bootcamp dedicated to those that are interested in promoting Wealthy Affiliate. Go here if that is you.

I have a question. I saw Kyle disable Robot meta noindex, nofollow, noodp, noydir under privacy page settings for SEO plugin. I only see noindex and nofollow. I don't have the option for noodp and noydir. It did not look like he was using pro SEO plugin. Am I missing something?

Don't worry too much about it. It's just the privacy page, not a huge deal. I'd click off the options you do have and go on from there. When I went through the training tutorials he was using All In One SEO.

For this premium upgrade, do I have to do that right away.
And how long can I stay on the starter program, not sure if I
can afford it because I have very little in savings now. But if I can stay on starter package for a while until I can make some type of profit then I would be able to go to premium and have no problem paying monthly for the rest of the program. So far I'm starting to enjoy how your course is educating me.

Ok, so does the keyword settings need to be enabled? I seen a training course recently that said it doesn't, no need to fill out the keyword section. Mine is disabled and doesn't even show the keyword field anymore. Just the title and description and I don't fill that out. So, enable and fill in keyword fields or not?

I usually turn this on. It isn't a requirement, so that is totally up to you. The impact that "meta" keywords will have on your business is very nominal, whereas the keywords that you have within your actual content that you are creating will be the focus moving forward.

Hello McVenom,
You can still create your 2 free websites on SiteRubix and monetize them. For instance you can sign up for several affiliates to market their products according to your niche selections.
I am currently signed up for Amazon Associates--their affiliate program and will be promoting my niche products for others to purchase on Amazon. Later I will sign up for other affiliates: Ebay, Best Buy, Walmart, etc.
I am into my second week at WA and have ranked #1 and page 1 on google for my first website.
May you have continued success in not only meeting but exceeding your business goals!

My fault I should have explained it better. The niche is the group of people you will target with everything you mentioned above. I just wanted you to narrow that down. i.e women 18-35 who live in the U.S. and will spend x -y on whichever brand of handbag.

Thank you Rich ill get on to it. Just another question as you've been so helpful. Am i right in saying that keywords are not just going to be in title of the website when it comes up on google search but will it also pick it up with the content on the website does that make sense ?
@RICH.
Premium
You try to use a single, relevant but different keyword for every page and post you create for your site. You put it in the title and first paragraph and write naturally around it. For example, one of your keywords for an orchid site might be "prune orchids", so for one post the title might be "How to prune orchids" and the first para might contain, "The best way to prune orchids is...".
I recommend you leave the SEO title and description fields blank.
Here's an example of the difference http://d.pr/i/ay7Y
I've searched for "afternoon tea at the ritz". The first result shows Google deciding what to show from the post and emboldening my search term. The second one has a forced description so it doesn't show my search term.
I believe people are more likely to click on a result that shows their search term than one that doesn't.
It also saves time and effort crafting "perfect" descriptions, especially as Google seems to be ranking higher content that doesn't have such descriptions!

Heyo people, I have a little question here.
I'm on the 'About Me' page, sitting thinking up content to put there and one thought has occurred to me that I want to ask about in detail about before I go on.
Should I mention to people all the motivations for my creating this website? I mean, I'm not a bad guy, but I'm not a saint, my website is going to have content to help people out... but I'm doing it cause I'm going to make money from it
It seems like a delicate topic to broach, in your experience, do people appreciate your honesty when you say. 'I created this website to help get me money!' Do they prefer to know your full motivations so they can trust you? Or does hearing that make them think less of you and avoid you?

Hey Lee there is no problem with that because you are being realistic but under marketing, many times the customers buy the uses or value of the product or service. They don't normally look at the product but what it's going to help or satisfy him. So it's good to emphasize the value of the product or service to the customer on your site than just to make money. Money comes after satisfying the need.

I always recommend you work in a niche you are truly passionate about, there's nothing more dreary than writing content year-after-year about a topic that bores you to tears! That said, if you're truly stuck, do Affiliate Bootcamp, but it is highly competitive, make sure you have an angle and a target audience, ie. second income stream for veterans, etc. :)

Maureen, - I've seen a lot of people be successful with the Bootcamp. And I believe the lessons there apply also to any niche, so it's all good stuff.
But I'd have a think about what you care about in life? What matters to you Maureen? What interests you? Hobbies? Skills you have? Is there something in particular that you tend to search for on the web? What do you find inspiring? Anything you ever helped anyone with in the past, that you really enjoyed doing? etc. Perhaps whilst you are doing Bootcamp the idea will suddenly come. All the best.

Very interesting and informative video. The idea of choosing a niche was somewhat daunting before this section as I always understood a niche to be something that people wanted, but would struggle to find (ie, a "niche" in the market)
Now I know it can be literally ANYTHING, it doesn't seem quite so difficult to come up with a niche.
I know it is advised to find something you're passionate about but does this mean it has to be something you're vastly knowledgeable about as well?

Just a thought, but for those struggling with the idea of finding a niche - think about the last time you walked in a shopping center or mall.
Each store is a different niche. While some big box stores will have hundreds of niches, the smaller boutique stores tend to cater to a specific interest.
Your website will be a version of a store. The information you write about, the affiliate links you add, all combine to support the topic of the niche.
Hopefully this will help you clarify what you are looking for and how to approach it as you develop your sites.

lol, don't worry. The monthly premium membership is $49/month. Your first month is discounted heavily at $19, so for $19 you'll basically get a full test drive of all that the premium membership offers you for an entire month. If you love it, perfect. If not, you're free to leave, but trust me, most don't because this training is the best I've found online and for $19, that's hard to beat.
The yearly membership which is the best value is a one time $359. It averages out to $29/month instead of the $49, so you're basically getting around half off. You pay that once, and you're done with any payments for a full year.
So jump in and take full advantage of your first month. See if this is for you. You won't get a better opportunity to try out training like this for this cheap :) Enjoy!

those 3 keywords i need to acquire, what do they need to be about. what i actually mean, for example, my chosen niche is about best mouses for gaming/gamers, this niche it self, got more objects in it, i mean products like Razor for example, so those keywords should be about the niche overall (best mouses for gaming)? or about anything that belongs to the niche (best Razor/Logitech mouses as example)?

Thanks Kyle, you're always providing the information I need to help me succeed. One of the things I learned today, by using key word searches, is that my interests aren't necessarily the highest priority of others. So I changed things around a bit, by changing key words just a little (just using a Google search to judge and then the WA keyword tool), Google results went from 6.6mm to 21.6mm in a matter of minutes. As I am still in the process of getting my web page up and running, this is invaluable information!
So I have a bit of a problem, none of the videos seem to be working for me today. Does anyone know how I can fix it? In the video block it says "The video could not be loaded, either because the server or network has failed, or because the format is not supported."
Thing is, is that everything was working fine yesterday.

I've got a question for people who have already had lots of success with digital marketing. I am a transgender male, meaning I was born female and medically transitioned to male.

I think that's a fantastic niche. There are a lot of people needing support with that lately. I'm not aware of many products, perhaps books on the subject and psychology books, maybe affiliates with reliable hormone therapy in the future. There was a man featured on msn just the other week, who had been in a beautiful female body and his transition was amazing, because he is now in a hot male body. Interviewing other transgender people would certainly provide for lots of content. As would those FAQs and "things transgender people are tired of hearing" kind of posts. Here's to your success!

If you could get traffic, don't worry about monetization.
Just get the traffic and everything else will follow, I just started by adding courses that I am promoting because I had them already in my mind and I love the niche.
The rest is to get traffic, but I am determined to add a blog post or content at least once out of two days.

Is there any law experts here as I do not want to give advice on medical problems, just promote items which are made to help reduce the symptoms to the medical problem(s)I can promote items for. I dont want to get into any legal problems Thx much

You will need to find a Medical Disclaimer, and make sure you're not claiming to be any kind of medical professional. Tell people to seek a medical doctor's advice before taking any kind of supplement or vitamin/mineral. And that your's is just an opinion and isn't meant to be viewed as anything but for informational purposes. Something along those lines, I was researching the disclaimer a bit and that is what I found...

Thinking to look at wedding planning as the niche. So the group of people I am looking at would be the couple who is starting to plan for their wedding. Also looking at ideas to incorporate honeymoon under this heading as well.
My concern is would it be too broad for a niche? Appreciate your feedback to help me narrow down this. Thank you so much!
Cheers

Hi there. I did a bit of research and I have found a couple of good suggestions with domain names that are available too.
budget wedding ideas Or creative wedding ideas
budgetweddingideas(.net) and creativeweddingideas(.net) are both available!
Both of these wedding themed phrases get around 500 searches per month alone. The competition level is pretty good too. You could incorporate anything that you like into "Creative Wedding Ideas".
It's really a question of what you feel comfortable with. Does this niche get you excited to get started? Do you think that you could create content for the site on a regular basis?

Ok ,just built and published my first website , and I have to admit I'm surprised that it doesnt look anything like what I thought it would , there is no pictures on it , no description of anything , is this stuff I need to put on there or can it not be done ??? I'm confused lol

Every website starts naked. It's your job to create how it looks and what it on it. Plugins help make things easier and should be used only for necessary changes. But the good news is everything important for your site is in the training, any optional thing you will want to search for either in google or in the WA search up top.
You will have many questions along the way so take advantage of the threads to ask questions, also use live chat that's why it's there.

Keep on following courses. In upcoming lessons you will learn everything to put pictures, description and so on within your website. And that is also very easily if you take lessons step by step.
So, I suggest you to keep on taking Wealthy Affiliate lessons by clicking "Get Started Here/Certification" green bar on the left hand side menu of Wealthy Affiliate. At the end of those lessons, there are some tasks which you need to complete. Move step by step from lesson 1 without skipping any lessons or tasks. I repeat, without skipping any lessons or tasks. If you move in that way, soon you will understand the system of Wealthy Affiliate and even will start to build your online business.
Best of Luck!

My passion & hobby is studying and developing social skills. I would like to help others with this.
I'm sure their are people searching "how to make more friends, how to be more popular, how to improve my social skills"
Is this a good niche.
Also I was considering the social skills website as a long term project where I will have to develop my own services & products.
But having a second "strictly affiliate" site, where I'm selling stuff off of Amazon.
The first site would be my dream, the second one would br a quick way to get some revenue coming in?
What do you guys think?

I think it is a good niche, many people are looking for help with their social media accounts, followers, likes, etc., and some pay companies a lot of money for these services. You have a good niche, large audience, and a need for your services. Stick with it and you will do well! I'm excited to see what you create!
Well my idea is more along the lines of improving your social life, as opposed to social media.
But thanks for the encouragement!

Well developing social skills is a bit of broad topic. Perhaps a topic on how to improve confidence? This I would go for, because it actually covers self esteem and improving social skills.
Thanks, I kind of thought about that, but I have trouble letting go of the broad topic, because I'm passionate about getting people these wholistic results, just covering it all.
So do you think for marketing purposes, it should be some very specific thing, and once they are in the door, it turns into a more wholistic thing?
For example I view it as higher purpose vs lower purpose. Higher purpose is like, change the world, help people, teach others. Lower purpose would be make money, have sex, become popular, etc.
So what I've heard people do is market these lower purpose desires, because it connects with the masses, but behind closed doors it leads to higher purpose development?
What do you think about that as a marketing approach?

I used WA's privacy policy but I have noticed some spelling and grammatical mistakes.
Paragraph 2: 'that' needs to be added after 'information'
Paragraph 3: remove 's' on includes, and gather should include a 's'
Paragraph 7: technology 'in' the (correction) and 'sent' instead of 'send'
I hope this helps. Maybe the administration of WA will correct this or let us know if I misinterpreted the wording.

Third question: I accidentally built my web page on Siterubix so I moved it to the domain I had bought. Now it is telling me to not delete the old domain on Siterubix as it is transferring, etc. etc. But I moved it as soon as I had built in, within minutes, so is it really going to matter if it is deleted. This happened three days ago and I am scared to remove the old site.

sorry Nicole, I don't know the answer to that exactly but it seems to me if the siterubix got transfered to your new domain, then it really does not matter if your delete it or not. Your new domain is what counts. maybe someone will jump in and answer with more authority on this question.

Thanks Cramer, It is a .com from GoDaddy The website video Kyle made says that the DNS servers need to be changed in order for the WA content to be found. Doing that resulted in being denied access by Firefox.
I might be able to allow an exception but I don't know if that tweaks the redirection?

I can't find any useful answers to this. the simplest thing would be to renew the SSL on the site before the redirect.

hi joejr49, login to your website, step 1- go to all pages. at the top where you type your title for that page delete it and type it in again. after you typed it in hit the update button on the right side of the page.that should do it.If that doesn't work you have to go to your menu page and see if you put it in your menu with is under the word appearance. after that repeat step 1.That should do it. this is easier to do. then hit the refresh button and view. and you should be good to go.<imporant> after you published, update or type anything on a page make sure you hit the refresh button that way everything you put on your pages will go through. hope that helps.

Hello Build your now,
If you are at level 8 that is a good thing and you are not far from seeing your completed site. I had to watch it a couple of times. I find it easiest when i have the training video on and have in another tab my site open as well that way the second I realize what it is that needs to happen ? I switch over to my page and do as instructed . I would take another listen to the video.Maybe you missed something ? On privacy page you can just highlight with you cursor and just copy and paste to your site page then just place your site name in the spot that says " your site name here .com . The about me page you will have to write about your self.
i hope toy have found this helpful .

In Lesson # 8 tutorial video on creation of first three pages (About ME, Privacy Policy and Relevant Info To Your Site/Theme/niche) of your website, I got lost from that point onward. It was not very clear in my effort to replicate the directions of the instructor on my site. I need to fully understand this to complete Lesson # 8 in order to proceed to Lesson # 9. Some assistance is needed here.
Thank you!

Eugene Douglas had a good idea just above in this feed. Your first page, or home page and theme/niche is usually the first page your readers or visitors will see. Here you want to give them a bit of information about what your site is about and what they can expect to see. You can make this as fun as you like. Putting a bit of 'You' and your personality there is always good too. Think of it as when someone comes to your door and you open it up and invite them in. The first they see is what will create a lasting impression or not.
Hope this adds to Douglas' helpful tips.

hi, this is definitely not a get rich quick scheme that will make you money in a short period of time. It takes time to go through the training, but what you learn is of good value. You will only reach success if you put the hard work in and persist.

I wish it was that easy, but no, you will have to do a lot of reading and watching the videos. Then you will need to build out your website (lots of writing too), and it will take months to get enough visitors/traffic to your site. Just like a house takes time to build, a website takes a lot of thought, time and effort as well. Wishing you success.

When you have already set up your All in One SEO can you change your title/niche under the customize button if you are still not satisfied its wording?. I see there are editing icons on the website when I click Customize. In other words do these changes mean a total change of the domain?

During my search in JAAXY I have discovered that my domain name/URL? which also reflects my niche and the title of my website can be worded in such a way that it attracts huge traffic at a minimal competition than the current one which attracts less than 10 traffic though also very very low competition. The video training demo made me understand that the domain name should reflect the niche/title, but according to you now the title/niche is editable without affecting the domain name and without affecting the performance of the whole thing in the search engines, is that O.K Cramervod? of course to others also who can share with me here.
I'm in the process of choosing a niche. What am I going to be doing within that niche? I'm assuming I will be writing blogs so how much of an expert do I need to be in that field? If I choose say baby clothing, narrowing it down of course, am I simply promoting or is it more specified?

Hello SBecca55,
You don't need to be an expert. I am sure if you are passionate about it ... you will have something to say about your niche.
Why don't you look at others' websites? to see what is it done? To have a better idea of what do you want to do? promoting or specifying ?
Good luck,

SBecca55, some members have their websites and other accounts accessible on their Profile pages in the lower right hand corner. If you 'follow', that person, you can look at their Profile page. However, not everyone posts their accounts and websites on their Profile, I do however, you can take a look if you like. I have just 'followed' you and you can 'follow' me back. I was very confused at first too. I was lucky enough to be temporarily unemployed last winter and spring so I could spend lots of time here learning. When you feel too frustrated, just walk away and do something else for awhile. Sometimes Brains need a rest too :)

I'm using Jaaxy right now to do keyword searches and many of my searches don't have anything for QSR. Some of the results will have over 50 monthly searches and no QSR. My niche is needle craft kits and I've done 15 searches using needle craft, craft kits, sewing, and more. When the keywords pop up, there is nothing listed under QSR. Should having no QSR listed mean I'm being too specific with my keywords?
