Lesson 1, Getting Rolling!
First off, we would like to personally welcome you to Wealthy Affiliate. I am Kyle, co-founder of Wealthy Affiliate and I am going to be the one walking you through the training and the process of building a successful business online.
Carson, the other co-founder works more with the technical team (close to 30 people) so you will see a bit less of him, although he is still very much active here within the community every day.
You can follow us around in our day to day lives on Instagram. You are going to see we are REAL people, just like you and that we generally speaking live very normal lives...and also get a sneak peak into some of the many Wealthy Affiliate projects we are working on behind the scenes! ;)
If you have an Instagram account, you can follow us and check out our latest happenings in our personal lives here.

Our goal is to earn your trust. We have been in this business since 2002, and we have helped close to 1.7 MILLION people during this time!
The community here is full of amazing people, with a lot of expertise. I know you are going to quickly realize that. In fact, you are going to be able to tap into this knowledge an expertise at any point as you move forward in the training.
I assure you that you have definitely made the right choice in joining the community here at Wealthy Affiliate, you are going to love it here and you are going to quickly realize we care about YOU and your success online!
In the coming days and weeks we are going to be showing you how online success works and we will help you realize your own potential within the Internet space to earn revenue and leverage the internet to grow a business.
Before we continue, we want to point out a few important things:
(1) Anyone Can Accomplish Success Online. There are now over 4 BILLION people using the Internet, regardless of the direction you head online there is a very large number of people there that you can connect with and leverage to create a business online. Members here at WA succeed at the highest rate out of any platform online!
(2) Anything NEW Can "Appear" to be Overwhelming at First. Like riding a bike, it is normal to feel overwhelmed and even "fall" a few times when getting rolling. Don't worry, you will quickly get the hang of things! Stick with Wealthy Affiliate and you will achieve, and far exceed your goals.
(3) No Technical or Prior Online Business Experience Required. If you have experience that is great, but it is definitely not a requirement here at Wealthy Affiliate. Everything related to online business can be learned here within your membership and you definitely do not need to be a "techie".
(4) Success is a Journey. Success is very cumulative by design. This means that everything you do now, and every step you take will contribute towards your personal success in the future. An exciting journey does lie ahead and the effort you put forth now will pay off later and often times forever!
A Quick Look at How YOU Will Be Creating Success
Success online is at the core a 4 step process nothing more complex than this and this is exactly what you are going to be learning here at Wealthy Affiliate. Here is a quick diagram breaking down the process.
Broken, down, the process looks like this:
Step 1: Choose an Interest. This can be anything at all, any interest, passion or even something you have no personal experience with.
Step 2: Build a Website. Your website is your foundation and we have the most sophisticated and feature rich website and hosting platform here at Wealthy Affiliate in SiteRubix.
Step 3: Attract Visitors. You are going to be learning all about how to get traffic and visitors to your website. The first focus is FREE traffic and there is A LOT of it out there.
Step 4: Earn Revenue. Once you have people on your site and traffic, you can earn revenue. There are over 50 ways you can monetize traffic online!
As you go through the training, this is going to be covered in detail. As mentioned, absolutely EVERYTHING you need is here at WA to facilitate this process!
Before we go any further...
We want to give you two simple pieces of advice within the Wealthy Affiliate community.
Piece of Advice #1: Do not be afraid to ask questions! There is 100,000's of people here within WA and many, MANY experts. You need help, please ask!
Piece of Advice #2: Take action on what you learn! Action leads to success. You could read and watch the training until you are blue in the face, but if you never take action on it you won't achieve any success.
We don’t want to put any pressure on you and definitely do not want to overwhelm you as you get started, so we are going to give you three simple tasks to perform (as noted below). Spend a few minutes today and complete these tasks! :)
You are currently reading lesson 1 of a 10 lesson Getting Started Course. This course is going to step you through the process of getting started. It will answer all of the questions that you have about earning money on the Internet, and will reveal exactly how to do it.
If you ever need to get back to your training, simply click the Get Started Here button within the side menu. This "smart" button will always take you back to your last completed task and you will also see your progress through the training.
Click the "You Are Here" to get back into your training at any time.
Your Current Tasks :)
In this Lesson you will become involved and immersed within the awesome community at Wealthy Affiliate. This is a community that cares about your success, and one where you will create wonderful relationships within the industry. You will soon learn that you can SUPERCHARGE your learning and ultimately, your success by being active in the community, and immersing yourself.
This starts with uploading a picture, adding a few words about yourself in your profile description, and getting involved in a live chat with others. These tiny steps are referred to as your "Account Setup" tasks which we will discuss below in a little more detail.
Right now, there is no reason to delay your training, let's get started with your Tasks for today.
Task 1: Watch The Walk Through Video Below
Your first task today is to watch the Wealthy Affiliate Walk-through video. This video will walk you through Wealthy Affiliate, show you how to find your way around, show you how to get help, and ultimately show you how WA will help you succeed within the online world.
DISCUSS VIDEO: Wealthy Affiliate - A Comprehensive Platform Walk-through
At any time if you have questions as you are watching the Wealthy Affiliate Walkthrough video, simply leave them in the comments section below the video and we will be more than happy to help you out. Remember, there is a TON of help available whenever you need it.
Task 2: Complete Your Account Set-up
Your final task for today is to set-up your Wealthy Affiliate account. I have created a quick video walk-through showing you how to set-up your account:
DISCUSS VIDEO: Completing Your Account Setup (It's EASY)
Setting up your Wealthy Affiliate account only includes two items:
(1) Adding a profile image (can be anything you want)
(2) Adding a personal description
This may seem very simple (and it is), but there are definite reasons that you are going to want to complete the account set-up process. Here are some benefits to setting up your account:
- Leads to better networking within the community
- Your “followers” within the community will go up at least 5x (in some cases)
- People are more willing to help you if you have a profile
- Adds a level of credibility within the community
- Shows others that you are serious about SUCCESS
Immerse yourself within Wealthy Affiliate and you are going to experience a lot more success. It is a rare day within WA when you don’t get to brush shoulders with millionaire marketers hanging out within the community, so take this serious and make your profile (people’s first impression of you) a good one.
Task #3: Understand Your Membership
If you joined for FREE, you currently have a Starter membership . This is the starting point of your success online. You get a good deal of access with the Starter level membership, but you need to know that there is MUCH MORE to be found at WA.
There are huge benefits to going premium when you are ready. Your last task for today is to take a second to learn about our Premium membership and how it differs from the Starter program.
Get All of the "Juicy" Details About Premium Here!
You are in good hands here at Wealthy Affiliate regardless of whether you are Starter or Premium.
Make us a Promise OK?
We want you to make us a promise today. We want you to give Wealthy Affiliate a chance first and foremost. We know that you may have had bad experiences online in the past and we want you to allow us to prove ourselves to you.
We care about YOU and we care about YOUR personal success more than you think.
Do we have a deal? :)
Again, we want to personally welcome you to the community and we look forward to helping you achieve success online, and far exceeding your expectations :)
Your friends,
Kyle & Carson
PS. When you are done your tasks, simply check them off below and then move onto the next lesson.

I just created the Menu and added About Luan to the Menu. But different from Kyle's demo, my Menu is not under the website name, but to the left of it. It doesn't look very right. Is there anyone who can tell me what maybe the problem is, and how I can fix it? Thank you so much!

Thanks, Dave. So you think it is normal. But what worries me is, if I add more pages in future, it doesn't look it will have enough room to be to the left of the website name. Is it an issue? Namaste (put the palms together)!

Thanks a lot, my friend! But I'm little confused about "Hiero" theme. Is it necessary to switch? But I think I may need more space on the top menu for additional pages in future. Namaste!
AJTrimble1
Premium
You don't have to switch if you don't want to.
Having said that, however, I recommend that all new members start out with the Hiero theme until they finish the training and are more familiar with WordPress because it provides instant feedback. Kyle shows you what to do, you do it, and then if your site doesn't look exactly like his you know immediately you missed something and can go back. It just saves a lot of confusion. Sometimes even something as little as a missed checkbox somewhere can affect what your site is doing.
Here's the thing that a lot of people don't see right away... you really don't know what your theme will look like until you start creating content anyway. When a site is new, at best we're just guessing that we need a bigger menu, or a sidebar, or this or that.
But often once you start creating posts and pages, you find that a different theme works better for what you are trying to achieve. So I wouldn't waste too much time right now messing with all of that.
The most important thing you can do is start creating content. Once you have about 15 or 20 posts, and several pages recommended in the training, then you can start playing around a bit with design because you'll have the material available to do it with.

when creating websites....Do I need to keep to one interest...specialize in one interest or can i do two or more interest topics?
Is it advised to stay focus on key topic/interest cause of the eventuality being over burdened with workload or is it advised to spread out interest topics to attract a larger traffic group/groups from different interest groups?

It is recommended that you work with one niche only until you get it built up and are getting steady traffic. Otherwise it is too easy to get overwhelmed with everything you need to do. Believe me, if you are following the training and doing it right, you will have more than enough on your plate just creating enough content for one site.
As a premium member is the fee changed because right now if I'm going to get a premium it is $19.00 because of the discount so i want to know is it gonna be $49.00 each month for a premium member or it can go higher than that? I can apply for a freelance affiliate marketer online for as long as i have the domain and if for now i choose the free domain and not the premium after the 7 days trials i need to be a premium member to continue using the site?

You are a needle in a haystack of opportunity. Look at it like that and it is very easy to get excited.
A niche can honestly be anything, what are you passionate about? What are you interested in?
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 know how that felt WEInc, I literally had to look the word niche up on an online dictionary to get the full meaning of it! Then when I did it was like a light bulb of light exploding in my head and then I had a good laugh at myself. I had that word in a 7th grade spelling bee and never thought to look up it's definition...LOL

Domain —- Title ?? Why two names? Is this what would eventually appear on a search engine? If so then it appears some marketing thought needs to be given to it rather than a rushed 30 second spur of the moment creation. I know the niche I would like to start with but it is rather comprehensive.
title is something when someone click on your website, they will see it on the top of your home page. The domain name doesn't have to name exactly like the title.
AJTrimble1

Just make sure your domain and your title are related. They do not have to match perfectly, but your visitors shouldn't be confused when they arrive either.

The domain can not be changed so think carefully about this, try and incorporate your keywords if available. Also again if available go for a domain ending in dot com.
Your title can be changed so don't worry too much about this ..but it would normally have similar keywords to your domain.
Trust this helps

Hello everyone forgive me I am a novice I have 3 days on the platform and I do not know if my query is stupid or not, but I ask for the help of members to advise me if the website I am building for the niche: Travel, photography and redaction is convenient the name of Virgilio the travel: Virgilio because it is my name and it is not very common here in Mexico, and traveler because this page is to start a travel blog accompanied by photographs. Any positive or negative comments will help me find a suitable name so that it is well placed in the travel niche. Thank you in advance for your help, I really need your experiences. I already built the web page with that name but I can still change it. Thank you.

The name is fine. The important part is your content. The travel and photography niche is extremely competitive, so you will need something unique in order to stand out. Think of it as a "niche within a niche".
For example, given your location, you might start by focusing primarily with travel and photography within Mexico (of even a single region within Mexico).
This will help you get your foot in the door by covering locations that most photography and travel sites likely miss. Then, as you get bigger and have more traffic, you can begin to branch out into other areas.
Make sense?

I think simply 'Virgilio' as the name for your travel site is great. It's easy to remember, kind of reminds me of the verb 'viajar' in Spanish, (makes sense!) and also it's a bit like 'Trivago' or something. I mean, what does that even mean? But yet we remember it, right? Same with TUI or Thompson Cook. So I say go for it.
All video are very helpful and easy to follow.
But if your new, its kind a hard to understand.
I have a little bit of experience on making website, nut they kill you to do step by step, every time you do something you need to go to a website, subscribe, spend money.
WA is the only site that help you out, teach you no BS.
Its not always about the money you spend.
It is hard to find work from home that doesn't ask you money upfront.
Thank you

Those three things go very well together. Create content and photos on your destinations in a travel blog... or maybe do a travel photography niche and use your own travel photos as examples. I'm sure you can come up with a lot of content on these topics together. Best of luck to you! I think choosing a niche is the best part!

Hi, Manly7
Home maintenance is a great niche, but trying to reach all age groups may be a bit too broad. Young homeowners are looking to modernize and to expand for a growing family. Middle agers are seeking to maintain, because they have children ready for college, and maybe an older parent to take care of.
Seniors who decide to say in their homes have a lot of things to look at as far as maintaining their home. they may be looking to equip their home with safety measures. Up grading a bathroom with a walk-in tub, etc.
Or they may decide to downsize- which means selling the old home and finding something smaller. You might think about concentrating on one age group.
What ever you do, it's a great niche.

You have a great niche with many possibilities. Perhaps you can start with basic information that every homeowner needs like how to maintain a hot water heater, information about gutter guards, etc.
You can even narrow it down to "hot water heaters" or become "The Gutter Guy".
Barbara has a great point about our needs changing over the years. You can eventually create dozens of niches based on her thoughts.
It's good that you are a Premium member; you may be able to create 50 websites!

Ok I picked my niche and got on amazon and when I typed in my niche it showed over 30,0000 results thats a good thing isn't it, its funny because I typed it in two different ways one showed 10,000 search results the other showed 30,0000 I thought that was a pretty big difference. Will that make a difference ?
davemc2019

No, it won't make a difference. Firstly let me tell you that as an Amazon Affiliate you are promoting the Amazon site, even if you are concentrating a certain product, so someone might click on a link for the product that you are reviewing, they might buy the product but while on the site they might search for something else and maybe even find it and buy that product as well so you will get commission on both sales

I understand that choosing a niche can be almost anything which makes it hard to decide on which to choose. How specific should a niche be? For example, my niche would be around art supplies for watercolor painting, should I be more specific like narrowing it down to watercolor brushes? and is it better to be specific or to be a bit broad?

It depends on what you want and what you are comfortable with. For example if you know a lot about brushes and will always have content to post about brushes then the brush is a great niche. But some times peoples like to choose broad niches and so they never run out of content to write. You can also have a mini niche market on one very unique item and just have few posts for it too as well it depends on what you want. I have a narrowed down niche in health equipments about Stethoscopes, that is an example of narrowed down their niches.
I hope this helps

You could base your site on exactly what you said, if you leave yourself open a little you can do articles on the best brushes, best canvas or paper, best watercolors, and you could give watercolor video tutorials. I personally being an artist and graphic designer, think this is a wonderful niche!!
Best of wishes to you and your Site!

I love your idea! I'm passionate about art (my profile pic is one of my drawings). Surely watercolor brushes are a specific niche but at the same time a broad one, as there are lots of kinds to choose from, depending on quality, effects, final result and so on.
Good luck with your site Audrey, you have my support!

I have worked in the gel nail business for over 10 years! Still very passionate! I was thinking my niche might be LED nail lamps. Since I’ve used “1 million” of them I have a large knowledge of many different types and I definitely have my favorites.
My husband and I also have a small spice company where we sell bottles of our rub for everything from ribs to scrambled eggs and popcorn!!
I just don’t know which direction to head. We have social media accounts for both of these. But no websites for either.
Any thoughts?
Thank you :)

Hola Rick buenas noches disculpe usted. Solicito su ayuda para que me aconseje como puedo elegir buenos nichos, siguiendo mis intereses particulares que son. La lectura de libros de superación, el uso de la tecnología, el ciclismo, la caminata, el juego con juguetes artesanales de madera y el conocimiento del idioma ingles. Perdone usted mi solicitud. Que descanse. Oh no le mencione que recién estoy iniciando en esta plataforma y no tengo experiencia, muchas gracias.

With your knowledge, you would do well, possibly as a website around a theme of advising on the topic. At the same time, I see your dilemma and think getting one site up and running profitably is a great way to go.
At the same time, doing a layout for your rub business is not a bad idea with a goal in mind to implement a start date for the second site.

You're on the right track. Now, think about what you offer that any other bodybuilding website doesn't already bring to the table.
In other words, if you are just providing generic bodybuilding tips and recipes that I can get anywhere, you'll have a difficult time beating more established sites that have already built a large following.
Give me something unique so I have to come to your site to find what I need. Perhaps you could offer personalized workouts, unique recipes they can't find in any old cookbook, secret workout "hacks" that actually work, etc.
Make sense?

Hi Everyone,
Can someone please explain:
When adding to 'All about me', I didn't do it in word press. I think I made a mistake.. Does this make a difference to where my work is saved? I think when I created a new email I wasn't sure if my 'everythingcats' was already taken or so my email address now is everythingcats2019. I don't understand the difference between website address and the email address. Can they be different or do they have to be the same? is my website address still 'everythingcats', am I the founder of 'everythingcats' or is it now 'everythingcat2019'. I'm a bit of a perfectionist and this is all knew to me, so it's all a bit daughting.

I can help a little, a website address is where people can locate your website, and an email is where someone would send you a letter, for example, my email account for my business is
alex-monroe@gmail.com
Whereas, my website address is
new-parents.com
And before anyone jumps on my back because I've posted a URL (which is only another way of saying website address) on this message board.
This was for learning purposes only.

Would someone please explain how I get paid? I understand niche, website, write blogs with links...someone buys, I get a commission. Do I have to make separate arrangements with all the different affiliate programs? Does the affiliate program pay into my bank account? Or does it happen through a common WA portal? Do I have to chase up the payments etc. Thank you.

Hi - you need to apply to join affiliate programs. They all have different terms and conditions as regards payment, whether it be to your bank account, by PayPal or by check. You won't have to chase up payments, but some programs do have a minimum threshold you have to meet before payment is made. There is no WA portal unless you have chosen to recruit other WA members.

thats where you will need to read the terms of the affiliate agreement.
it is impossible for us to say how you will get paid.
like promoting wa- you get paid through paypal.
amazon have three different ways of paying you.
so before you sign up for an affiliate program you need to read the boring stuff, the terms and make notes, so there are no suprises.
good luck.

Hi Kyle, I understood your lesson well, you are very patient and a great teacher! Only had one snag. When I went to my site and right clicked I wasn’t able to get the drop down that you were referring to so thatI could take a look at the coding. My Mac is in the shop and I’m working on my IPad. Could that be the issue?

Hello there, I just go through with WA overview with Kyle, thousands of questions going through my mind now, and as I go through with your questions and answers it's really great. Although i still don't fully understand about making website, how to earn online, coz I don't believe those online jobs post anymore, they were just looking for likes in there channel. So it's my very first time to join in an online community like this and I can feel real money as I read all your comments. God bless everyone that was here in this section today.
Hi Will not some niches be country specific, so that they apply more in one country than others. For example, if you are talking about garden fertilizers, which will vary from country to country. If I describe one fertilizer other people may not understand what I am going on about.

I'm not an attorney, so this is just an "in a nutshell" response...
The legal definition of slander is essentially the telling of a untruth that harms the reputation of another party. So, as long as you are simply sharing your experience with a product or service -- the good and the bad -- technically it would not be considered slanderous.
Of course, anyone can sue anyone else for practically anything these days. I think as long as you are truthful, and yet still polite, you should be okay.
In fact, I've seen many businesses often reach out to a "bad" review to try and make it right.
On the other hand, if you go into some hate-filled rant then all bets are off. Keep it professional.

Hey, student from the UK here in my final year looking to start making money online while I finish off my degree and hopefully for long after that as well, any quick tips for beginners such as myself and how long to spend doing this (e.g. how many hours a day) since I've still got a degree to try and get :)
AJTrimble1

Naturally you just do what you can do. I know how limited a student's time can be... I've got more degrees than a thermometer! lol
I would say that if you could spare, say, an hour a day you will do just fine. A good target for a beginner is one solid 1500-3000 word post per week. You can definitely hit that with an hour a day, even including any research you might need.
Whatever your niche, just make sure it is something you are passionate about. Ultimately you will be creating a ton of content, and the worst thing you can do is turn this into a "job"; especially one that you wind up hating.
Hope this helps. :-)

Truth is we have reached a time where any kid with a laptop can put a Fortune 500 company out of business.
Don't get me wrong. I still think education is a worthwhile pursuit, and I am sending all three of my children through it.
But now it's all about the "applied" side; it's more about what you actually learn and the skills get out of it. The era I grew up in where it meant something merely because one has a piece of paper from a university is long over.

I'm not going to procrastinate anymore and I starting a new chapter in my life today. I'm going through coaching and I'm amazed how good it developed.

Robin, think of your domain as your address.
then think of your site as a book.
when people come to your domain(address), they are allowed to read your book.
if they arrive at the home page they read the intro.
or if they need specific info, the search engines may direct them straight to a chapter relevant to what they are looking for.
so after purchasin your domain, you write your book.
sounds scary, but if you break it down into chapters and small sections of each chapter then it becomes easy.
good luck

Your website is your home your domain is your address to that home. Newbie enough?
As for the second part of your question say you want to talk about being a newbie online.
You search for a domain name, for example, newbie.com and if it is available you purchase that domain.
From there you now have an address (your domain name) which is just a block of land at the moment.
Now you have to build on your new land (website) and as you add content you are now building your home.
The more you build the more you have in your home that will add value to it
Hope that helps

A domain name is a web address..think of your house address...it's a number and street name identifying your home's location. A domain name does the same for your website.
A website is the actual post, pages and so on at an address. Just like your house. It resides at an address but it isn't an address itself.
Take the domain analogy one step further... different me,hers can receive mail at your address (i.e. Bob, Mary, etc.). The same is true for your email at your domain (bob@yourdomain.com, etc.).

You want to build an online business around coffee.
You register the domain name ilovecoffee.com with a domain name registrar. You pay the registrar and you own the domain name.
You pay a website host for space on their computers where your business will be. Your website is your business and it will be called www.ilovecoffee.com. You have to build its pages, posts, structure and menu directly on host's computers.
You connect your domain name with your website so that when someone enters ilovecoffee.com into a search engine, your website appears.

You do ask the hard questions, don't you. I am new to tech, so it is easier for me to put it in trucking terms, and that is how I think of it. If you go somewhere like a truckstop, your vehicle to get there is like your website. Some people have ads on their cars, trucking companies have the names and logos on their trucks. The truckstop has the parkinglot which is like a domain. But then again, maybe I'm wrong.

OK, so your website will be an art website.
Say your domain is robinsartsite.com.
The web site name can differ from the domain. Think of it as a title at the top of your site. Any people will make it match their domain name but you don't have to. You can use "Robin's Art Site" or you can use "Photos by Robin", etc. It's just the title or branding that's displayed, usually at the top of the site pages.

ah...domain and domain name are the same but website name can be different.
here the domains are categorized internally - nothing to do with the web, just for internal accounting.
so yes your domain name can be different to your website name.
but your domain name is the one you buy and cannot be changed - without buying another one.
the website name, on the other hand can change when you want it to. this is the display name for your website.
here the domains are categorized internally - nothing to do with the web, just for internal accounting.
so yes your domain name can be different to your website name.
but your domain name is the one you buy and cannot be changed - without buying another one.

Lol. I've got to admit, I'm overwhelmed. I watched a video from a tech guy on domains and there was so much more to them than probably what we need here. I think someone else from WA said that you can have two domain names.
I need to move past this because it's just stopping me. I likely should have said upfront that I can be very OCD about things and I could cling to this until I have it in a consecutive line. I'm just not sure how to get it there! Haha!
Again, thank you for your input, feigner.

that will be interesting when you get onto keywords - where it gets a bit grey - never black and white.
with the ' but my post has all of the right bits of seo but it still isn't ranked'
this is really something you will need to get a handle on - yes understand it but don't overdo it.
it will drive you mad - especially when you can't get hold of the algorithm which google uses to rank you.
and visitors - well they are just another beast entirely - my content is good and i'm telling thwm about it, but nobody is visiting!'
i can be a bit ocd, but know where to draw the line - sometimes paralyis by analysis sets in after the initial rush, but manage to get over most of it.
but no you cannot have two domain names for one domain - you can have a subdomain - similar to where you are now - look up at the top it says my.wea..... so wealthy... is the domain with my.wea.... being the subdomain ( domain linked to the master domain).
good luck coming to terms with it and hopefully you can move on.

I have been trying to think of a niche, I am into freedom of all kinds, freedom from paychecks, the grid, and freedom of our rights to have and bare arms. I am into making my own tools, yet to accomplish due to my disability, but my chiropractor is working on that. Any suggestions on a niche from what I have just told ya'll?

hmm...I think you could consider woodworking. Possibly the people you encounter and maybe yourself could appreciate custom crafted wood works. There is a fantastic affiliate for this. While that is just one affiliate, there are probably lots of products and lots of blog posts to do for it.

You have a few niches there that would work .... In order to choose which one would you be able to write for the next 5 years this may narrow it down for you.
Always go for something that you are passionate about as this will help too.
Also do some research are there any other website about your niche if no then there probably isn't enough people wanting the information so will be difficult to get traffic and make money.
Trust this has helped :)

This is something I am quite passionate about. I was an over the road trucker for over 20 years, and had my truck rigged up to be like a mini apartment. For a while I lived in my truck even though the truck belonged to my boss. I had microwave, coffee pot, lamps, tv, dvd player, toaster oven, and even a refridgerator. All I had to do was pull into somewhere and run an extension cord to the vent glass on the door, and plug in.
My website does not have pages on the top and I am not able to get them there with my navigation. I’m not sure where I’m going wrong, but nothing changes on my site. I understand it on your screen, Kyle, but unable to make it happen on mine. I have compared step by step between the instruction and my site. It’s not the same.

Are you referring to the links that take people to you pages? This is called the "top" or "primary" menu and can be automatically generated or not depending on the theme.
If you can't see them, you will have to create one manually. It's not a big deal...
In your dashboard go to Appearance > Menus
You will see two columns. In the left is all your "stuff" (posts, pages, categories, etc.)
Checkmark the items you want on your menu and click the "Add to Menu" button. You should see it all added to the column on the right.
Make sure to check the box underneath that column that says "primary menu"
Now go back to your homepage, refresh if necessary, and you should see your menu listed.
Hope this helps.

I don’t see “primary menu” as an option. Under Menu Settings I have “Auto add pages” and “Display location”. The Auto Add Pages says that it automatically adds new top-level pages to the menu, but when I tried it nothing changed on the main site. I tried the other one too with the same result.
Interestingly, my Privacy Policy isn’t listed as that either but has as its title the entire wording of the actual privacy policy. I don’t know how to change the title, or how it got like that.

The "Display Location" typically has 2-3 check boxes: Top Menu, Main Menu, and Footer Menu. This is entirely dependent on the theme you're using though, so you may not have all three. At a minimum you should have some version of a main or primary menu.
For what it's worth, I never use the "automatically add" option. I just leave that box unchecked.

This is the lesson that has convinced me to go premium. Ive always messed with wordpress but with little clue on what I am doing. This lesson has really brought some much needed clarity.

I have a number of niches that I wont to get involved in but for now im currently deciding on two. One of which I have already secured the domain name with being greatwallparts.com I am just unsure how id get involved with an affiliate program with this particular one. The second one being focused on health but more directly cbd oil as this has been a growing market and I have an interest around cbd oil and it healing properties. Would really like some insight on these two. Thanks 🙏

Those are awesome ideas!
You'll need to break down some of those niche ideas, like the clothing/fashion and the men's clothes. You have to think who you want to target that have a problem they want to solve.
For example, you could do fashion for ladies who are curvaceous, or the opposite, best clothing for slim ladies who want to look more curvaceous. You could target occasions; like wedding fashion.
For men's clothes, you may want to target WHAT type of clothing; is it business attire? Is it casual? Is it for a wedding? Is it for bigger or well-built men? Is it for shorter or taller men?
Think about what PROBLEMS people might be facing that they would want to come to the Internet for more information on.
I think the gaming niche is one of the niches that you have well-broken down and the best niches are the ones where it will be easy for you to write reviews on. Just a suggestion because reviews are more easily ranked for than regular articles.
I hope I have helped and if you have any more questions, be sure to ask.. :) I wish you the best.

Hi - they are all good ideas, but quite competitive markets. You should just have one niche on one website. Pick the one you are most passionate about and then narrow it down. What can you offer advice on? Keep following the training step by step and complete every task as you get to it. Good luck!
Thank you for your feedback. I am still understanding and solidifying all the knowledge. I have a passion for video games and playing them so if you think that this is a "sweet spot" I will look into it. I also do not mind reporting a bug to help the community because who wants a buggy game.
Thank you for your feedback. I will implement this into my training and grow from it.
I will definitely continue the training step by step cause I want to be successful.

Hey! In my daily life, I have been trying to reduce my plastic usage and avoid products with BPA and other harmful chemicals in them. I want to choose a niche within this category. I have been looking a lot into food storage solutions that do not contain plastic (things like glass food storage containers and reusable silicone bags). Would this be considered a niche? I'm just not sure how broad or specific it should be...

This is a great niche and with the emphasis on renewable containers and reducing waste, any alternative suggestions will be welcomed.
Food storage solutions without plastic is narrow enough. Have you tried using Jaaxy or Google to see what the search results are like for this criteria?

This is definitely a niche and a great one too! My sites name is Go Green With Hemp, can't give the URL, but....
Anyhow, I promote all hemp items, pretty much anything to do with using hemp in our daily lives. Which is pretty broad, but also limited if you get what I mean, all my products are related to hemp, but that is usually the only thing that links them lol. I have reviews for shampoo and conditioner, and CBD products, and clothes. I plan to promote more paper products and building materials as well. I sort these all out with the use of categories that are set in the menu as page categories.
Hope this is helpful.

I have been seeing ads lately, in Facebook, of a product that is not plastic yet wraps like plastic and is washable and re usable many times over. I have been tempted to try this product for myself. I too, think this could be a good niche.
Just a reminder though, in order to get higher page rankings, for Google's attention, you will need to write regular weekly posts on this topic. If you think that you have enough topics for this niche to write about, then go for it!

Hi guys, I've just gone through the "what is niche?" section and was wondering how you find out what products/companies have an affiliate program? Surely not everyone does and I have a few ideas what my Niches will be, but I'd like to know that what I'm using pays for the affiliation. I hope that makes sense :D

Ok, I have a question. In last part of video, workout supplements search, if person goes to your web page, but DOESN'T buy particular product, but choose from something else on their page, does it still count as revenue as person came to that page from your link? Example as shown in video: pre jym - bodybuilding, and doesn't buy that, but choose something else from creatine section. Will it still make a revenue?

If I am understanding you correctly, someone visits your site, clicks on your affiliate link to some product, goes there but doesn't buy that product and instead buys something else. Do you get money for referring them? Yes, you brought them there so you should get credit. Some places (Amazon) will give you a 7 day window, while others will give you up to lifetime of customer. Though, you need to be the last referrer usually.

Hey, Villanueva, you can make money bringing others to WA towards to your website, however, how you will convince your friends or others to have to come premium if you don,t have the experience. Also, is only $19,00 US dollars the first month and then goes $49,00 the other months. The premium, allowed to have unlimited access to much more tools that you will need. Worth some sacrifice. Hope this helps you.

QUESTION #3: And how much TIME are you willing to invest to achieve these goals?
I am willing to sacrifice 4-6 hours after hours a day because i work for 8 hours a day to reach my goals.

These are achievable goals. What is important is setting milestone goals related to that effort of 4-6 hours. For instance setting a goal of post 1 - 2 article of substance per week. Achieving these milestones is almost as important as setting them as they will keep you focused, motivated and committed.

Hi Kyle,
I have a question about the menu tabs at the top navigation position. You had mentioned in your training that some templates do and some do not have the Home menu tab. Mine did not, though I was able to add it by following your instructions. My question is that the one I created does not perform (no side menu, text presented in a narrower format) the same as the other tabs in the top or main menu navigation,. Can you possibly please enlighten me as to why this may be the case. Thank you for any help you can provide.

Some themes have a home menu item by default, it just depends on the theme. You are in full control of these menus though.
You can add these custom menus to organize your top menu in any way in which you like, as well as create sub-menus (for themes that will support this). You can also use these custom menus to add within your side widgets on your website (within your sidebar).
Here is a tutorial on how to create custom menus: Creating Custom Menus & Navigation I use custom menus on all of my websites (over-ride that default menu). It allows much more control and organization....both good things!

Thank you for your help. Your link was to the training I had already watched, so I paid more attention this time. While my specific question was not addressed, it may be specific to the theme I have chosen. I will just have faith that my question will be answered in one way or another in the training, or by applying the training and trying different features (play to learn).
I do have a comment in that I find some confusion with the menu naming and placement nomenclature (in my understanding not the training) and I am sure time, application, and playing will solve that confusion of the different references of “menu”.
Thank you again and I hope yours and Everyone’s day is Wonderful!!

I am connected with Jeunesse Global. They make and sell skincare products that contain adult stem cells. They have a new stemcell product that grows hair on men who have been bald for 40 years! We develop personal relations with our customers. The residuals and compensation plan are remarkable. Could this be a niche? I realize there is probably a skin care niche. I do not know if the way we need to enroll people as customers or as people doing what I am doing (making a business with it) would be a problem.
Thank you for any insight.

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 (Jeunesse 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.

Hi Michael,
I has account with Jeunesse Global too. Antiaging and skincare industry and niches are great to be in.
But about 1.5 years ago, Jeunesse got much stricter in its compliance policies for distributor websites and ads.
All websites and ads must be submitted and be approved by the Compliance and Legal department of Jeunesse Global before they can be shown to the public, if not the accounts may get suspended.
You can email to their compliance department for further details.
Hope this helps.

Your ideas seem good being that they all have a community that already exists around them. You might consider doing all of them in the future, but for now, pick one that is most relevant to your life and be all about it. Go through the training and get everything all setup and give your readers lots of valuable content and they will then easily follow your links or at least look at the products you present. Once you have one niche going and understand how to run the business day-to-day, then build your next one. Rinse and repeat.
I am from Iraq and I have noticed that Iraq is not supported by WA payment system. does that mean I will not be able to receive payment too? and is there gonna be future updates to include Iraq in the payment system?

We are looking into this. In the meantime, choose a country close by and see if that works. We are going to check into getting Iraq added, and if there are no implications with our merchant accounts we will be adding this soon.

Hi Kerry - that's not a good idea really. Remember you will be expected to write dozens of articles on your niche, and if you are already struggling with the idea of having to write the "about me" on your page, then you will see working on your website as a chore.
Are you sure there is nothing you have an interest in? If your friends were to describe you, what would they say you talk about? Has anybody ever asked for your advice on anything? Popular choices to think about include animals, beauty, diet, gadgets, games etc

Kerry do not write about or pick a niche you do not know or do not care about. People will see right through that there is no passion. What have you learned or gained through your struggles. What about making some, so to speak, coaching videos.
Actually this isn't a bad idea for me to work on also. Shoot lets do it alone side each other. I have a niche but I can have a couple, what the heck.

Having a better think about it I have learned to manage my finances an budget better.. also alternative health and food as medicine instead of popping pills interests me. Would financial info sites not be swamping the internet or would my own opinion an ways appeal to select groups? I'm still trying to get me head around all this.

I am very confused about something. I am redoing the training because I didn't do it properly the first time. I want the About Me page to appear in my main menu. But if it is a post - will I be able to add it to my main menu? I was under the impression it won't show up in the menu unless it is designated as an actual page. I get the part about engagement, but it is also important that visitors be able to find the about me page from the home page. I hope my question makes sense.

I was very confused too, once upon a time, regarding posts, pages and menus. I often went over the lessons again and again. No shame in that. Yes, you have to create a menu first, and if you have any pages in your dashboard, you will be able to place your pages in the Menu, and re order them too.
I was so excited when I finally understood how to create Menus, I have two now. I have a Main menu and a Footer Menu. I soon had so many pages in my Main Menu, that I chose to make a Footer Menu at the bottom of my website for my Privacy Policy and Disclaimer pages to make room.
Kyle teaches how to create a Menu, but there are many other tutorials made by other members on that subject too. Check them all out, and eventually everything will click together and make sense.

Thank you so much for responding. I did follow the training on menus once before and I do understand how to create menu structure.
What confused me with the updated training video on the second round of me reviewing the training was the new instructions on turning the About Me page into a post. To my understanding, if something is designated as a post - it cannot be assigned to a menu. Is that correct?

You are a fast learner Wendy, it took me a long time to grasp what the training meant for menus. I think I actually figured them out myself, by trial and error. You've already gotten some good answers. When I got to that lesson, two years ago now, I knew I did not want to put my About Me as a Post, so I immediately made it as a Page, going contrary to the lesson. I am a bit of a rebel that way :)

Hi Wendy,
How are you doing?
You can add a Post to the menu no problem:-
From the Wordpress Dashboard go to:
1) Navigate to 'Appearance - Menus'
2) Expand the 'Posts' section, tick the box next to the Post you want added to the menu, then click 'Add to Menu'.
3) Save the menu
The Post will then be shown. Please see example screen print showing this.
Hope this helps,
Best Wishes,
Tim

Hi there, as a newbie, I am trying to decide what my niche should be, and I was wondering if I should worry about picking a concept so specialized or artisanal that it seems to me it would be challenging to source the products related to my concept. Is it possible to get paid from smaller, perhaps independent advertisers? Thanks for the education.

Suggest you carry on with the training as selecting a niche becomes more finely-tuned as you move along the amazing sessions with Kyle, WA, Co-Owner ....

Please do continue on with the training, all the best, cheerio .. :)

I have published both my About Me and Privacy Policy and they are in my WP post and page. When I click HOME on my website, the About Me post is not appearing. I get nothing found. It is visible in my website when I vew the post from WP. What am I missing? For simplicity , I am using the Hiero them, the same as in Kyle's tutorial. I like to follow along step for step and when it doesn't work right, get a little frustrated.

Hello Dwight and welcome to Wealthy Affiliate.
Do you have your appearance set for blog roll or static page?
Did you refresh your browser before going to view it on your site?
You probably haven't set up the menu yet as you haven't reached that part of the training . But this might cause this issue as well.
I hope this helps😀

Ok. Once in your back office in WordPress, click on appearance to your left and then click customize.
You want to look for homepage settings.
This is where you will find blog roll and static page
Keep in mind, that the issue you are having may disappear once you have created a menu which you will be learning real soon.
Sorry for the late response. I was offline.

I'm kinda stuck here.
I hold a PhD degree in women health and infertility. And I have successfully sold in the past anti-aging products "Offline" but failed to duplicate that success online and lost lots of money.
So, it made sense to me to try again now that I am learning the process all over the right way. I understand that this niche falls under health and beauty which is very competitive industry. Any suggestion as how to narrow it down? Alter it?!
I also thought about teaching the technical aspect of podcasting and/or voice over since I have been doing both for over 13 years now. I can also recommend products (mics, mixers..etc) for commissions. But I have also noticed that neither have a big market to make it a long-term.
Finally, Keto Dieting since I have been on it for few months now and the results are just amazing. Lost more than 14Kg so I think I can contribute in this market. But is keto diet very generic?
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Hey guys--I have a question for anyone willing to help:
I'm currently building the list of keywords for the site I'm building and I've noticed that in the list for the first word I've typed I've got the Avg at over 100, but the QSR shows no number at all (it's literally blank). Is this to indicate to me that the keywords displaying these stats are uncommon-but-ripe-keywords, or is this indicative of something else?
Thank you,

It should give a number there or say: get QSR, which you then press. You should get the same results when typing your keyword into the Google search engine, but with hyphens!

No. As a WA member you have access to Jaaxy Lite. Kyle is using the Enterprise version in the video. It's a paid subscription, but it does everything for you like you see him do.
Ours requires a bit more DIY. Just find the keyword you are interested in and look in the QSR column. You should see a link that says "Get QSR". Click that and give it a few seconds. It will pull up the competition for that one keyword only.
Repeat the process for every keyword on your list.

If the search terms listed in this area are extremely general, you can deduce that you have more competition for clicks with that search term. Targeting other keywords or producing higher quality content can improve your search engine ranking.
