How Will YOU Earn Money?
There are many ways to make money online! The problem is that people often get distracted by the "latest and greatest" product or service and they are never able to build a successful (and revenue generating) business.
Today we are going to run you through one of the most fundamental, yet the most powerful processes of generating revenue online.
It is a proven process, it is one that we use, and one that 100,000's of other Wealthy Affiliate members use. It is also the ultimate "making money" process that worked 5 years ago and it is going to work 5 years from now. It is a process that will reveal as much opportunity in the massive online world as you are willing to work for!
Just one thing before you get into the MONEY "stuff"...
The making money part of your business won't happen quite yet.
Before you earn money, you are going to first be focusing on creating your niche website (which will take place in the next two lessons) and the working to get traffic to your website. Without a website, without content, and without traffic, the MONEY part simply doesn't happen.
So don't look at this like a race. You will reach success and a great deal of it, but before you build your own personal SKYSCRAPER of a business, you must first have a solid FOUNDATION to build it on. That is going to be our first goal within the Getting Started training. Cool?
Alright, let's continue on! :)
Below is a video walk-through of today's lesson and the process of "How to Make Money Online". Just click the PLAY button to watch it!
DISCUSS THIS VIDEO HERE: How to Make Money Online - The Process Explained
Over the coming days you are going to be working through this process and by the end of this Level 1 training alone, you are going to have an awesome foundation in place that will lead you to much greater success.
Task #1: Understand the Make Money Process
There are MANY different ways that you can earn money online and many different ways in which you can build an entire business. In the coming lessons we are going to be walking you through the following process (and the video above explains it).
There are 3.75 BILLION people online as of 2017 (YOUR audience) and these people are searching for things all the time.
They are looking for information, solutions to problems and to buy stuff. That is where you are going to come in with your website and help these "audiences" by offering them information about what they are looking for. You will be "helping" these people and earning revenue in the process.
By Lesson 4 of this course you are going to have your very own "niche" website in place that you will use to connect with your chosen audience. You will have your very own piece of the internet and a platform to connect anyone that you want who browses the Internet.
Here is a tutorial walking you through just 6 of the ways that you are going to be able to earn MONEY from your website.
READ TUTORIAL: 6 Ways to Make Money With Your Wordpress Blog
Task #2: Create (Write Down) Your Financial Goals
You want to earn revenue right? That is great! In order to earn anything however, you need to have some goals in place.
In this task we want you to join in on a "money goals" discussion here at Wealthy Affiliate. You are going to be telling us what your goals are and going forward, we are going to be helping you achieve these very goals!
QUESTION #1: How much money would you be happy earning?
QUESTION #2: How much would you be ecstatic earning?
QUESTION #3: And how much TIME are you willing to invest to achieve these goals?
PLEASE make 100% sure that you do not skip this step and you revisit this post regularly when you are in need of some motivation. I can absolutely assure you that if you work hard at this and you are persistent towards these goals, you will achieve them. But ultimately it is UP TO YOU!
Join Discussion: What Are Your "money" Goals?
In addition to this, it would be wonderful if you commented on someone else's goals they have posted within this thread. Aim to comment on at least TWO people's goals. You likely can network with many other "like minded" people here at Wealthy Affiliate and this is a good way to get your networking efforts rolling. We are a friendly bunch here at WA!
Awesome, off to the next lesson now where you will be "choosing your niche"!

Write something…
I was on one niche, created the domain details, and as I was writing the content with this lesson, I realize I was going the different direction albiet in the same broad category. Now, how do I update the website URL to go along with the latest direction? I do not see any options for it :(

Please tell me if I have this correct: I have my site with siterubix (sitename.siterubix.com). If I want to move to my own domain, I pay whatever the fee is and then that's it? Is it hosted with wealthy affiliates? And I just pay the $13.99 (or whatever the domain happens to cost) each year?
Thanks!
Thanks!
I have a question about the use of keywords and would be grateful for some help please. In the previous lesson it was suggested that we find 5 keywords/phrases for our niche. Do we just choose one of these keywords/phrases for our article or do we use all 5 spread throughout the article? Or are the other 4 keywords/phrases to be used when writing further articles, one at a time?

now that i finished on this lesson, i was thinking my niche won't be as interesting as writing an article about it. So i thought of a different niche. will i still be able to do it, like just edit my niche -make it a bit more targeting i think. i got the 5 top keywords for it , i just need to edit my niche. is it possible though?

Hi,
Yes you can change your niche.
What that means depends on how far along you are in the lessons.
Can you be more specific?
For example, if you still have siterubix in your domain name then you can change it by buying your own domain name.
If you site is very new and you want to start over you can delete it by clicking the blue SiteRubix button on the left then click SiteManager. Then just make a new site from the beginning.

thanks for the reply..
i just really need to add another word on my niche, is that possible? i dont want to delete my niche. unless necessary, just need to twitch it a little bit .
my site is still very new, no blogs or content as i am on Course 1 just finished lesson 7. but, does deleting it even i built it through "On a domain i own" it wouldnt cost me, would it?
registering a domain is the one that costs monthly, or perhaps im wrong :)
cheers

Hi,
I am not suggesting to delete anything if that's not what you want.
I am still trying to figure out exactly what you mean though.
A "niche" is just a concept. Changing it is as easy as changing your mind.
What is it exactly that you are wanting to change? The website address?

it sounds like you want to change the name of your siterubix site, if you move to an own domain that will cost
you can stay with the free sites, the name is not important or if you really want a different name then create a second free site, someone told you to go up to a domain but that is not correct

Kyle suggests that you "Post" rather than "Page" your "About Me" page so that you can receive comments.
Personally, I don't really want to receive comments on my "About Me" page - I'd rather have comments on the articles that I will be posting.
Does anyone have any experience or thoughts on whether allowing comments on your "About Me" page is a positive or negative way to go? Thanks in advance.

Actually have gotten a lot of comments on my 'about me' post. It's an entry page where others can get to know you. It's pretty important imho.
It's very important to do things the way Kyle has instructed...he and Carson are the experts here and following their seasoned advice just paves the way for your business...period!
Take your training to heart...it'll save you grief in the long run.

Hey, I've been working on my article for a while and I've been saving frequently. However, when I tried to look for the revisions sections that are mentioned in the video, I couldn't find it. Am I looking in the wrong place? It should be in the bottom right hand section of the site content editor....
Hey there, just started... looking to check the "understand membership options" box to go to the next training, but really it only explains the premium option (everything and everybody really pushing that for their commissions) I'm just trying to figure out what is possible with the starter version to start. It says you can have two websites- does that mean web hosting for two sites or do you have to find that separate also (assuming you have to purchase domain names - but that wasn't really explained either - Later training perhaps?) Just trying to take one thing at a time and get a sense for what my expected costs will be using this system vs. compiling something another way. I'm looking for more of a nuts and bolts rundown and I'm thinking I might benefit more from more research than I would from paying monthly at the beginning. Thoughts?

Perhaps the following tutorials may help answer your questions: Not Quite Ready For Premium Membership? Starter Membership - Day 8 Onwards
My understanding is you can take as long as you need to learn these basics. Upgrade only if it becomes profitable to do so. Push for the 7 days is just for the first month discount...but you can upgrade to Premium any time it's beneficial for you to do so.

Can you give examples of what things you feel are not explained well or what exactly you need help with?
Thanks for the link. I'm having questions more related to individual features of the options that are offered, for instance it says as a beginner I will have access to 12 wordpress themes. Are these themes the kind that will convert to viewing on a mobile phone? (theres a name for that but I forget it) Or in the rush to "just get started" will I pick and be stuck with a website and theme that later I wish I hadn't? Are certain themes better for certain types of things such as selling services vs. selling products? Does the premium membership offer the full gamut of wordpress themes or are some of them restricted due to being incompatible with siterubix or some such? If there is a theme I like on wordpress, is there a way I can use it anyway? It was mentioned in one of the videos that "I'll probably want my own domain" Why is that? What are the advantages of that over the websites available here? And why then should I opt in to something less optimal from the start? (thinking later I wish I had chosen to have my own domain instead) for some things I seek more definitive stats, for others the info provided doesn't quite seem to add up.

You are a lot like me. But I think you are getting ahead of yourself. All your questions will be answered in the training but I will tell you that yes, the themes are mobile friendly and you can start with the siterubix domain and then purchase a domain at a later time. You can keep the siterubix domain but in my opinion, it looks better with just .com or .org. Yes, the premium does offer the full gamut of themes and they are all compatible with siterubix or the domain of your choosing. I'm positive you will find a theme you like because there are thousands available. You can change themes if you don't like them. I hope I answered some of your questions and I wish you the best of luck with your training!
Quite interesting. I'm getting a little bit excited going through each of these lessons.I'm hoping I can learn and retain all the lessons as I go along, and have a thorough understanding of what I'm doing and not just following each step with no idea on why I'm doing it.

I am having a hard time narrowing down my niche.
Options are:
baking (too broad? Baking for beginners perhaps?)
healthy cooking (again too broad? Healthy vegetarian cooking?)
Kid's party planning
running technical gear (clothing, shoes, fitness trackers)
Does anyone have any thoughts? I enjoy all of the above, I just can't decide which path is the best.
Thanks!!!

Hi Corrine, I'm far from an expert, but I would have to agree that baking and healthy cooking are both too broad. I think you are getting closer with "Healthy vegetarian cooking" but that too might even be a bit broad. If I were trying to hone in on that niche, I would probably use something like "Quick and healthy vegetarian casserole recipes" or "Vegetarian breakfast recipes with zucchini"
Good luck!

Hi Corrine, have you put your niche keyword into either "Jaaxy Keyword" tool or "WA Keyword" tool? You can also narrow your keyword in "Google Search" using the "Alphabet Soup" technique.
Examples: bakinga; bakingb; bakingc or runninga, runningb, runningc. Google will show your search suggestions used by other and you can use those results and put into "Jaaxy" or the "WA" keyword tools.
Also start with the one you are most passionate about--this way you will have a lot of content for your blog and review pages.
Once you have determined your best keyword--you can then add the various related "Categories" on your site.
Hope this helps!

Hey, I love baking, and among the thousands of books on my shelves here, there is a whole section devoted to cook books. But then in a last moment pinch, do you think I bother to sit down and page through any of these?
Nooooo! I jump online looking for 'best ever' this or that that I can do with substitute ingredients and shortcuts: School markets need a certain something - or the birthday party has some special dietary needs. There's always some special condition I'm googling for. All of them present excellent niches!

Which one of those gives you good ideas for content - and have you looked in google to see what affiliate programs are available for these areas?
Ok so I am super into guitars and my niche idea is to target more seasoned or experienced guitar players. My theory is that the more experienced guitar players usually buy higher price products because they are more invested in that hobby. Anyways, I just want some feedback. Thanks guys!

Since I learned a little more about pages/posts and how to manage them a little I did something on the website I own. I went in and put in a post that said "website under construction". I did this because if I type in the site it came up. I didn't want people to think that if they saw stage 1 and saw it come up again when finished that they would remember the name and not go back. It can be deleted logging onto admin right?

I also have sites covered with an 'under construction' plugin. You can easily visit the plugin and switch it off, and of course you can deactivate it, too. Just a note - I wasn't able to get Google to verify my site for analytics while it was 'under construction'. I had to temporarily switch it off to get through verification.

I have watched this video twice and got the about me & privacy policy in main menu idea. I used a 2 window system, 1 training & 1 doing on my website. I figured that would be the best way for a computer limited person could do it best. My question is about the step right before this video. I've gotten help from site support to get me fixed with lesson 6 and caught up to lesson 7. I didn't find the list with Robots meta NOINDEX and Robots meta NOFOLLOW boxes to check. I wasn't sure it site support might have done that, but I couldn't find a list of those 3 items?.I went ahead with the video understanding what I was doing. I went to my website and refreshed and it didn't look right, so I went back to wordpress screen and everything was put where it was placed, so I figured those 2 boxes didn't get checked?! I really liked this video! It was easy to follow and do, and I felt like I was doing something right so I could keep going! WRONG. could you please give me any idea of what I could do? I would sure appreciate it! Thanks a bunch!

I'm curious about rule #3, why must the key word make grammatical sense? I assume the reason a keyword is presented in a non-gramatical sequence is people performing searches perform that exact search and it would seem beneficial to match that, yet im sure there are solid reasons not to, so I'm way curios..

Hi Grinche,
As you know if it don't make grammatical sense Google won't be happy.
Imagine all the nets 'listings't being 'gobble-dee'gook' titles! I'd imagine to find something 'extremely' specific being very difficult.
Alas, I guess it is just 'best practices'.
I noticed too that ill grammared queries are putt into Google all the time and its a shame we can't steall them, those that do, I'd imagine don't rank well for that post or website name.
Otherwise, I don't know or recall.
Hope this helps.

Excellent training so far. Quick question some initial feedback on 2 niche ideas.
One dealing with herbal remedies and one on outdoor activity. In the past 5 years or so we have taken up day hikes in various parts of Canada. Loving it. My wife and I are closer to 60 than 29 and so 1 possibility for a niche might be "Hiking Over 50".
Additionally, for over a decade or so I have been fascinated by the power of plants for health/healing and have actively researched this topic. I am a huge advocate for preventative health rather than disease treatment and as such have been making tinctures, herbal pills, detoxes, etc that my wife and I---and numerous others are using with great results. (Haven't personally seen a doctor in over 15 years and want to keep it that way:) Do another niche idea might be "Healing with Herbs" , "Natural Home Health Remedies", "Making Herbal Tinctures" etc. I see potential to monetize these ideas as products in both categories are quite numerous.
Any feedback-thots on this. Again loving the site/tools/info so far.

think about how you might monetize either of those niches, what affiliate programs are available to you, what your competition looks like
I'm familiar with the herbs and natural healing, the way I see it is we are not shooting fish in the same barrel, it's about making the barrel much bigger and creating a wider pool, reaching out to your audience with your voice...there are many herbal programs out there, big issues with sourcing good quality herbs though, and always a need to make people feel comfortable to use herbs
a couple of affiliate programs to look at are The School of Natural Healing, [master herbalism, western herbalism tradition, good commission on their training], iherb.com [good commission on herbs and supplements], etc But Canada has its own vast supply of excellent herbs which perhaps you could find programs in those too?

Can someone please explain for me "Themes" I chose a particular theme that was one of the few which related or that I could identify with my niche - I opted for this particular theme, however when going through the video instructions, which are well versed and with good clarity, it soon became apparent that some of the instructions to follow did not coincide or collaborate with the theme i chose.
I'am trying to use theme 27 and incorporate the relevant menu as well as editing some of the pictorial contend and uploading those of relevance to what i 'am offering.
is there another set of instructions that may be appropriate or am I having to revert to an altogether different theme ??
Thanks In Advance

all themes are different, you could experiment using the free sites to find a theme that suits
was there another name to that theme or was the number the name?
sometimes you can ask members in here through your pen icon top right [ask a question in there more people may see it] ask if someone is using x theme, or go on youtube to see if you can get someone doing a video on it

Hi Miowendahl,
You may use your premium theme on your wordpress site. Once you have the theme, go to appearance>themes>add new theme>upload theme. That would allow you to install the theme that you purchased.

I know I've got a lot of help lately from site support and I've really appreciated it! I watched the video,did as you said in the video. (I had 2 windows open because I knew that would be easiest for me!) My ? is that the step before this video of checking the boxes Robots Meta NOINDEX and Robots Meta NOFOLLOW, I never found them to check. I followed along to set up the menus like on the video. I refreshed, but didn't get any results> I'm computer limited which is why I do 2 windows on videos so I can do it as Kyle explains it. Can I guess that not finding those 2 boxes above is what went wrong? Please help with any suggestions. I would really like to keep my site building going. I'm excited to continue because I am really excited to see it done and show my family what I actually did, with help from this great community! Thanks!

Hi, quick question (I hope). So, I went through and created my 'About Me' section and 'Privacy Policy' page. I set the 'About Me' as a post, and 'Privacy Policy' as a page as instructed. However, when I view my website, the 'About Me' page has no comment section at the bottom, but the 'Privacy Policy' page does.
Anyone know how this has happened and how I can fix this?

The Privacy Policy which was created as a page, already had comments turned on for some reason, so I've turned them off. That solved that problem. Thanks for the video link!
But, my About me post. I've gone into the same Quick Edit on it, in the posts section, and although the box is ticked, it still isn't showing a comment section at the bottom.

posts go into the blogroll (home) and pages will go into a menu bar. Each page or post has the option of turning comments on or off in the editing mode (where you create it). Just have to scroll way down. I chose to put my About Me as a page, so it's in my menu bar. My Posts are in my blog roll on Home page, so that's where I put all my new articles. I set up my pages first, loaded them with content. Once I was done that, I started writing posts or articles in the blog roll (home). You can check out my website to see how I did it if you like. On my Profile, lower right hand corner, are all my URLs. Good luck :)

those plug ins are free. Go to PLUG INS, then choose ADD NEW, that will take you to the Plug in page... on your right side is the search bar, type in what plug in you want. Once the Plug in that you want shows up, choose INSTALL NOW. It just just takes seconds to install usually and then your page of all the plug ins that you have installed will show up. Find your Plug in, click on ACTIVATE. It's that simple.

yes, don't rush, as you'd have to change the domain name if you didn't like it
you can use the two free sites though and transfer the content from them when you are ready
the tagline itself can be changed, but that isn't the domain name, that is simply settings>general

You could do that I wpuld go through the training and then use the keyword tool or jaxxy. Look up keywords you could use throughout your content. That sounds like a really interesting nice. One thing I hsve lesrned is sometimes a niche can be broad example like travel that is broad so l. From what I can tell you have narrowed the niche some so I think it would work for you. Go through the training learn more. If you need more help always asks question I believe in every question is a good one even if it is a simple one. I hope the best for you and hope you achieve your goals.

Hello all, is it recommended to create the content step by step (I create a page or a post and afterwards I publish it on my site) even if the site could look incomplete? Or is better first to create most of the templates and publish them in one run? I know my question is basic but it would be helpful to find an answer, as it will help me to organise my content. Many thanks!
Oana.

Me the first things I did when following the first some steps on gettinf my site set up is. To get your privacy policy and about me templates full those out. Then when those are done you start making posts about the niche you are in. Examples like reviews of a product or talk about a certain topic, thst you can talk about organically. Something you love talking about and, just keep posting and making quality content. I really do hope this helps you and I hppe you achieve your foals here in WA.
This was a question for me too. I don't want to post something unfinished and your system is a good way of making sure that all of the information is there. You can then just build on the depth of it. Thanks @MatthewLS

I do my best too help whoever I can.l you are welcome anytime. The biggest thing is follow the training and getting your about me page and your privacy policy up. Then you can put your content in as posts. You should be on your way. If you ever get stuck either go back through some of the training. Or just ask a question nothing is wrong with it I do it if I need. Hope the besr for you

yes, it is the page/post that will rank, not your site - so you build your content - also it could take time to rank when you are new so that gives you time to write more content and work on your site
better to publish consistently that all in one run when it is affiliate marketing...

How do I get to the table with blue boxes where the lessons and levels are found? When I wanna review one lesson for better understanding that was very helpful. Without that table, I have to scroll down every lesson and click Next Lesson until I get to the lesson I wanted to retake.

Ho do I create a different profile; and paste a picture to it? My experience is small on computers. Much broader than when I started. I know this is late in asking . Also,thanks for enlightening us on niches.Glad we can get help with it. I am going to keep trying to get this no matter what. Sure wish I had more experience with computers. Also wish my imagination would kick in . My days of things of dreaming seem so long ago.
I am not getting it: In the video you say that Jaaxy as free member gives you the results of 30 keywords, actually I can see no more than 10 as the box for the pay upgradeis option is stuck right in the middle of it hiding all the rest of results..(form the 10th-11th there also are blurred? Also there any colour options in the KQI coloumn..

it does only go as far as 10, I had wondered about that myself but that is the way it is
they upgraded jaaxy recently and changed the way it looks, so what you see is what you get there now

Quick question about domain names (i will be using FB traffic)- gonna focus on the small business loan niche / small business cash advance / merchant cash advance- 17 million small businesses...and some how get them interested in WA's opportunity. I thought that'd be good since I know a good bit about the industry as well. My question is what should I name the website? smallbizloans____.com what would I put in the blank? or am I not approaching this correctly. thanks so much- Ed

I wouldn't spend too much time trying to come up with the perfect domain name, although having an attractive domain is good. The content for your website is what will attract visitors/customers/traffic to your website in the long run.

Do you guys reckon a hybrid site with the onus upon actually finding good deals on the product's my niche involves would be a good ideas??
So basically being clear that I am driving custom to links etc rather than simply having them about my site for people to happen upon.
I'd also include some product reviews, niche specific reports, tips, news and experiences.

i really enjoyed the concept it makes perfect sense very interesting , well if i understood right you said when choosing the key words you base your choices on a good theme or tittle, also on the QSR and the AVG , Now after choosing the key words where do you put them so they can work for you , do you include them in your text on the actual website as part of your bio or do enter it somewhere as a search trigger as you are

Both tools are good. The advantage I see with Jaaxy over the included WA keyword tool is that you will be able to see the SEO percentage and the likelihood of your post / page being on the first 2-3 or so pages in google.
I am very happy using Jaaxy just as the other one! Quite worth the money.

Please tell me, what is the advantage of paying for Jaxxy over the Keyword tool that is included with WA? Also, I heard that a few months ago, Google changed the algorithms for keyword searches and that old keyword search sites are no longer valid. Does anyone understand that? @Kyle?

I have the idea of footwear for beginner runners as my niche. Should I work to narrow this down even more? I am a runner myself and work in the footwear department ina sporting goods store, so I am constantly around running shoes and various brands/models like UA, Nike, New Balance and more. I have a lot of product knowledge as well and can give suggestions on shoes based on customer desires.

Hello all, If I correctly understand, even if I activated te All in one SEO and I defined the title and description, as long as I don't have any content I won't find my site in Google. I tried to input the exact name and I don't find it in Google. Is this normal? Anyway I will learn in the next course how to create content:) Thank you.

if you type in your url you should be able to see your site with all the dummy content on there - did you see Kyle's lesson where he builds out the first site

Bnyumba is on lesson 7 and I am starting 8. We seem to share the same feelings. Looks difficult but we will get through it. I finally figured out a niche. Now I've decided to change it. I guess this happens all the time. I'll prob go back to the other one at a later time. More research to do on that one.
Hey, I am new and looking for some advice. If you have any good tips I would like to get in contact with you. Either send me a message over here or give me some tips to contact.thomas.williams(at)gmail(dot)com. I currently do not have a job, so maybe we can work sth out. You give me the tips and I earn some money for both of us. See you around. :)

I've been in a beauty industry for the past 7 years as a hairstylist and a nail technician. I am passionate with my job.. but i don't see any progress I'm busy making thousands for other people who employ me. I've tried to mix myself with people who are grown financially, mentally and physically thinking that I'll see progress but everything stuck in one place. But i thank God for giving me wisdom i have within me i know its going to take me to the next level. I've created a Facebook page *HAIRVENS DESIGN SALON* to advertise my business it has many likes already even though i haven't started opening a salon. The only thing I'm shorting of its a capital to start my own salon and I'm going to emply youth to work with me. Teach them everything. About hair. The first main branch I'm going to open is going to open 10 branches. That's how i planned my own thing. I have a believe that I'm going to get help here.
Ive been in the beauty industry for 20+ years as a hairstylist/colorist, make makeup/skincare and hair extentionest. Although I know quite a lot in those fields continous education is a must. Because of those facts Im going with hair extensions tape in, and clip in to be precise. I want a niche in this industry because hair and makeup are my passion.
Hi Everyone!
I'm new and just started the training for this program. I'm extremely excited about this opportunity but I'm stuck with finding a niche. I know its suppose to be something that we would enjoy or have experience with but I'm still stuck. I've had a blog previously that was focused on lifestyle with a little bit of everything. I'm just trying to figure this program out and see if I can really make money doing this! Is there any where I can find other peoples success stories?
Thanks!

@baileyguzman I would do a search in the search bar for the success stories of others. I tried to copy a link for you, but I wasn't able to.
I am quite slow at learning sometimes, so this might be a no brainer question. At what point do I have to pay? I see the $19 premium advert at top, but they haven't asked/demanded money yet. Or are the two websites really free? Can this be real? Am I doing all this work for nothing?

you pay when you think you are ready to commit to the training
they won't demand money - they did not take your credit card details, they just gave you two free sites and some training so you can see if you would like to pursue it
yes those two sites are really free and they are fully functional wordpress sites, they are better than the free ones you'd get at wordpress .org because there are no ads with them, and you can get real traffic to those sites too, eg look on DomW's profile
the work is not wasted, if you think you'd like to go up a level to an own domain website and build a business at some point then they can convert over to own domain very easily, the platform is set up for that
One thing you will lose after your first week is 'write access' the ability to ask questions and write here is a Premium membership feature, but you can still access the platform

. I am a cancer survivor and bills are certainly piling up. I've heard of Affiliate program but wanted to find out more about making money with them. That's when I discovered WA. So far I am enjoying the program. It definitely is a lot of information to take in but you have to remain positive. There will be some challenges. Focus on what's important. Don't Give Up. A Bigger and Brighter Future lies ahead

Can I ask someones opinion? I'd like to base my niche around gaming. Is that too broad? I've broken it down between software (the games themselves) and hardware (systems and consoles, gaming accessories, etc.) I believe I would benefit most from gaming accessories and just basing my niche around gaming hardware would be fine with me.

I reckon you are looking a bit too broad covering all gaming.
You are looking from vr to consoles.
To start i would select the type of games you like to play along with the hardware required and write about that.
Expand on this when you have exhausted the subject.
Good luck with your online journey

As Phil mentioned, gaming is too broad. Narrow it down by focusing on a certain genre or device. What're your favorite types of games to play? I'd start there.

I have two 6-month-long training programs with written materials. These programs take place via telephone (or Skype) and last for 6 months. I am a life and business coach. One program focusses on: developing awareness of what is holding one back in one's life.
The second program is focussed on relating and communicating effectively in the workplace. The content is geared to elevating awareness of how one sabotages oneself at work and what can be done to be more effective.
There are rich exercises to engage with in each program and two 50-minute personal coaching sessions with me each month. I am also reachable via email.
My niche is Coaching. Does this sound feasible in the context of Wealthy Affiliate?

I'm familiar with this niche. So really you have your own products, do you see it as a membership site?
Yes, WA can accommodate that, they will focus on getting your site to rank to get traffic, optimized for SEO, the SSL certs mean you can use woocommerce or do membership site options, use the search bar for woocommerce training, one member chrisscott is currently in the process of doing up a free training on membership sites
ultimately it is about getting the traffic and that is what WA are about

you do have two free websites right now, it seems like a lot of new info and very overwhelming but it will get much easier
you have plenty of time to practice with your free sites, do all the Level 1 training, there are two courses, that is plenty of material for you to see if you like it and want to take it further
there are no extras to pay down the road - there is just two memberships, the free one [Starter], and the paid one [Premium] and take a look at the price of Premium, right now monthly it is $49 but that comes down to $29 per month if someone pays yearly membership in one go.
the membership includes hosting, the only extra you may need is around $14 for an own domain if you want
the platform has a free keyword tool, and there are free plugins to capture email - this platform likes to show people how to do stuff for free until their sites are paying for themselves and then they can invest if they choose
and yes, some people are in here for free because if you introduce someone else to the platform you get commission on that

For me I chose a niche that I knew a lot about but not everything so I knew I would have a lot of research to do on it. Make suer your choosing something that will be fun for you to do the search on. Also go to the keyword tool and just start putting keywords in. Once you find some that you l like and have low competition, thats when you build your content around it.
