NICHES. The scariest word for most people when starting out. However, the idea of a niche should not scare you. Instead it should be 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, but it could be something that you would like to learn about. You don't need to BE an expert, you BECOME an expert.
I personally enjoy many different things. I enjoy basketball, I used to collect baseball cards, I like to go skiing, I am really interested in men's fashion, exercise, internet marketing, and I love everything about the online business world.
There are also many niches over the years that I have been very successful within without knowing anything about them before getting into them. Dieting, voice over IP, hosting...are just a few.
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 for information, for solutions, and spending billions of dollars or products/services 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 "Choosing Your Direction - It Starts With a Niche" 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.
Check out the video below.
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.
Task 1: Choose Your Direction
We want you to select the niche that interests you most and gets you the most excited.
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 are going to get to help people within your niche.
(5) Your first niche PROBABLY won't be your last (so don't worry about it being perfect)
(6) Any SINGLE niche website can become a "full time" income/business
There is NO SUCH THING as choosing the wrong niche.
Also, note that you can always change your niche down the road. 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 have any questions about your niche, feel free to leave a question below and we will help you out.
If you are REALLY STUCK at this point and you cannot decide on a niche, perhaps you may be interested in the make money/affiliate marketing 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
If you have any questions about your "niche" or direction of your business and you want to get feedback from the community, leave them below and we will be happy to help.
Onto the next lesson, building a website! Exciting stuff is ahead! :)
ReplyDo be aware that a website requires constant maintenance, with new content added on a regular basis. As a beginner, it may be challenging to try and work on more than one website.
Therefore, you need to focus on a small aspect of it, to show that you are an authority on your subject. So, if you are interested in supplements, you could choose supplements to improve an immune system or supplements for pregnant women or supplements for vegans etc.
Remember, you will be expected to write a lot of original content about your niche, nothing copied and pasted. You are not just setting up a shop. You need to write articles to attract visitors to your website.
Take a look at my training to see if it helps. Niche Ideas: Don't Overthink It
Also I am not sure of what to add for content on the website. yes I have an idea of what I will be doing ( kind of ! ) Still though I have no idea what I should add for website.
As regards your website, you need to write lots of informative articles about the niche subject that you have chosen.

You will have to do some research on line to learn about the product so you can describe the product when telling your friend about it.
The benefits most likely. And you invite him/ her to buy the product you are selling on line.
In terms of asking questions you will have to up grade to premium facilitate questions. Not sure if you can still do lesson one, if you can some of your questions would be answered there.
sorry for asking a lot.
if I upgrade my website to premium I am going to pay first 19$, then 49$/month?
In two months after training, I am able to earn money or I need more time to learn?

Do you have in person clients? Try starting a conversation (or do a survey) with a few people who fit into your target market. Listen to the key phrases they use to describe their yoga and/or hypnosis interests. Plug those phrases into jaaxy to see how they rank, choose the highest ranking keywords to build your content around.
1. Stop obsessing about money
