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 are 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 2018 (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.
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"!

Hi everyone, I'm just starting here, and viewing the video How To Make Money Online. There is no mention of the use of a funnel to get email addresses to retarget. Is a funnel just left out of the discussion or does it not work well with the way this platform is setup? Thanks

I could use some advice. For my website/business name, I chose to create a word. Naturally, I want to write an article to explain what it means and what the business is all about. Should this be a separate post from my about me page? And... is it a bad idea to choose a made up word for my business name?
JubiJoy
Premium
I don't think spelling or pronunciation will be an issue. And I created the word because I was having a hard time finding a word that already exists that encompasses the idea. Every phrase I came up with either sounded dumb or could easily be interpreted to mean something in which I did not intend.

I've read that having any other website that has anything other than ".com" or whatever isn't a good thing. People don't trust free sites. If that's the case, do people actually make something happen with the free domain on WA? Or is buying a domain the best way to go? With this being my first website to build, Let's be honest, we're all on this thing to make money. I don't really want to waste my time with domains people don't trust.
Collura1997

Buying a domain is the best way to go. It’s a lot more professional looking and is pretty much a piece of virtual real estate. Success can still come from free websites as long as it provides useful information and high quality content. Consistency is key.
Lets say that you have created a website based on a niche of your choosing. Things aren't going as planned and you want to choose a new niche. Do you have to create a new website based on the new niche of your choosing, or can you change the website around to fit the new niche of your liking?

Hello Charles : )
Keep in mind that this is your first website and you may run into that circumstance.
The answer to that will really depend on where you are at with your website. How much content you have on it and if it is with a free domain or a purchased domain.
It will also depend on what your second niche will be. Will it match the url name?
If you are using a free domain you can always delete it and start a new one if you haven't added content.
If you have content on it that pertains to your new niche, then you can copy the content and add it to your new website.
If you purchase a domain you can not change the name of it. Use the free one until you are certain that you are happy with the niche you have chosen and have started writing content. Use it as a practice site.
I hope this was useful.

I still have difficulty adding posts. They go directly to my main landing page. I just want some posts to appear in my main navigation page at the top with the rest of the tabs. I have been able to do it with custom URL but they still also show up in the main landing page also ?

I believe that when you create your post, if you want it to go into the main navigation instead of as a post, select page when you create and publish it. You can easily do that through Site Content.

I really enjoy watching your videos. WA provides an easy to follow path toward success potential that I have not found in any other programs.
One of my questions was answered in the video, and that was whether to do one or both training programs.
My other question is that I already belong to several affiliate programs and I want to maximize potential from them. Should I focus on one business and niche now, and then build the other programs, or can I use what I'm learning to build the other programs?

Both methods are possible. I usually try to focus on one affiliate program, or multiple affiliate programs in one affiliate network. For example, you can promote products form several programs within Shareasale, and get paid all at once from them.
But really, it's up to you, and how you want to publish your content.

Hi there my name is Charlie and I am just getting started, I am retired and looking to replace my income, my goal would be 3-5000 per moth to start and then ramp up to 10-20,000 per month.
I have been online for a while but always going after the next Shiny Object if you know what I mean after doing some research I realized that the only real way to build a sustainable business is the platform here at WA.
Any thoughts on this income moving forward, I always welcome the feedback, Thanks

Hi everyone, I have been discussing this in chat. Here the comments I made on chat.
Should we not use prepositions or adverbs in our keyword phrases? Like, "Buying flowers for the House", Or does it matter as long as we have good content to go with the keyword phrase?
Without some stop words like adverbs or prepositions, the phrase doesn't make grammatical sense. From the training, I thought the phrases need to make grammatical sense. For the example, I used " Buying flowers for the House" makes more grammatical sense than "Buying flowers house"
Yea, someone told me to not use adverbs or prepositions because it doesn't associate with any meaningful content. I felt confused because according to level 1: lesson 9: Rule 3: Rule #3: Keyword must make sense. This is critically important. If the keyword doesn't make grammatical sense, don't use it. Do another search on the keyword that makes sense as that will likely give you different data and that is the data you want to measure. I just want to make sure I am doing everything I can to make this work. thanks everyone, johnny
I just want to make sure I do this correctly.
I appreciate any and all advice or tips.

Hello Johnny.
Since keywords are the word or phrase that are typed in, to perform a search on what you are looking for, I don't think someone would type in "Buying flowers for the house ".
This can mean many things. You want to be specific.
What is it that you are helping your reader with?
Are you giving them tips on how to choose flowers for the house?
Grammatical sense and what Kyle teaches, is correct. Like you said "buying flowers for house" is not grammatically correct. I would suggest " Tips for buying flowers for the house"or " how to choose flowers for your home". You want to give the person doing the search, what they are looking for.
I hope this makes sense : )

I see what you mean, but the keyword phrases you have suggested still has stop words in it like, "How to or for the". I do see what you mean by adding "Tips for or how to" making it more specific, but it is still using stop words. Thanks for your help.

Hi Billy, I went to that link and it was very helpful. For me and that is just me, I think to make a keyword phrase make grammatical sense makes more sense than just throwing some words together. It sounds like either way works as far as getting ranked. I was worried that I was doing something wrong and it might affect my getting ranked by Google. Thanks for you help Billy.

So I'm kinda stuck. I'm not sure what exactly to build my website on. I've ever since I was in the adult industry for as long as I could remember. I was a very respected hustler that presented myself with class. I kept my morals in check and based the away I made my money off of that.way. I've also worked in sales whether it was in selling products of time with yours truly. I also promoted for many nightclubs and djs. So please someone please help me combined these attributions together and cram them on a web page. I'm also into fashion. I went to the art institution of Chicago for fashion marketing and management. I also have a an amazing talent with doing makeup as an art.

Hi Sabrina
My suggestion to newbies is to write down a list of everything you enjoy, things you could help people such as product reviews or where to buy or how do learn something
When you have your list pick 5, then pick your no1. choice and this will be your niche
I hope this helps

I have a question if you wouldn't mind sparing this insight. I am caught up on picking a niche (big surprise). I can think of a million niches off the top of my head, coasters, dog leashes, oven mitts, and the list goes on and on. However these aren't things I am particularly interested in. My biggest love in this world is music, and this is where I fall short. I am not technically savvy to talk about musical hardware and such. I guess my biggest question is what is the actual application of the "niche". If I am to review products, wouldn't that mean I would have to own said products? Let's say I found my niche, how am I to use this in my website. If I understood more about this I imagine picking a niche would be much less daunting.

what you are looking for is a group of people with a problem, ideally passionate people.
so anything you know about that others are passionate about and have problems with - if people say ' i wish i had_____' then this could be your niche.
what you are after is to help people decide on how to solve their problem. be it how to choose a dog leash, waist leash, standard leash - which type of collar- chocker or fixed, harness or collar.
so you can see there are a few info types of articles there and the reviews - well , do you have manmade leash, leather, how do you look after it etc.
but the main topic is how can i keep my dog safe and control it. who are you looking at? male 20-40, likes to go out walking with dog, enjoys talking to others when out - goes to the dog park
get to konw your audience very well then you can talk to them.
write it all down and read through it before writing your article- talk to him before you start writing -warm yoursell up.
good luck

Hi RexKwondo,
Good work getting started. Having a interest and passion for your Niche is important. You will be spending a LOT of time creating content. (Incidentally, I have been a professional musiian for most of my adult life. Good choice!) To address your thoughts.
A niche like Music is much deeper than "dog leashes" however it is also very broad so consider narrowing to a more narrow category or genre within music i.e. Classical guitar, or folk music, or brass band instruments... the list is endless, but will make ranking and targeting your audience Much easier.
Not tech savvy: That's ok. Other people are and they have written a lot of content. Do your research and Re-write articles with your words personality and understanding you have gained.
Application of the Niche: One of the goals of this process is to become a valuable resource on the internet for people searching for keywords specific to your Niche. The application is in providing accurate and quality engaging content for your readers. Depending on the products you promote. A lot of research can be done at a large music store. If you live in or can get to a large music store, many of them have small practice rooms where you can try out different instruments and hardware. this is a great waty to learn about physical products and even record videos of them while at the store.
Your website is your Niche and your niche is your website. A very focused topic or set of topics that will provide value to the People who have interests you are targeting. The Narrower your niche/target is, the more precisely you can tailor your content to appeal to that group of people.
I hope this helps!
Feel free to ask more questions. And Never give up!
Cheers!

Kyle recommends using your real first name if you’re not comfortable using your full name - it’s in the training you will soon see. I did exactly that myself. Jay, who gives the weekly Friday night classes, said the same thing yesterday. Jay, though, posts his full name and picture at the bottom of every one of his posts! He’s really out there! But being on Vancouver Island, maybe he has less to worry about :)

I have finished phase one of training. I understand how money is made and the domains and all that but one thing is still confusing me. My niche represents hundreds if not thousands of products. Do I need to list many of these on my own website or can I just direct customers to the companies I affiliate with where they can see all the products there without a huge website of my own? Do I need a website with many pages and posts? Or can I, just through writing content, be the avenue for which people find the different companies?
CravenATAT

You can be the avenue- but if the niche is extremely broad, then it will be harder to get a targeted audience. For instance, 'health care' is broad, but veterans with mental disabilities is a bit more broad. If you want to narrow it down a bit more you can, although if you go broad you can target specific affiliates - you don't have to target them all.
Jeff909

My niche is actually specifically directed at a single audience with a lot of products. Everyone will be there for exactly the same reason so that's not the issue - the product line is extensive, but the audience will only be musicians.

Refresh your page first. And then when you go to the homepage of your website, you will see the Meta Title and Meta Description tags within your source code.
This is just to show you how it works, but you can rest assured if you have set it up and saved your AIO SEO settings, that it is set -up correctly.

Hello Will and welcome to Wealthy Affiliate.
Have you clicked on "publish" in SiteContent yet?
Once you click publish there there will be a box that appears. If you click, "edit in WordPress" that is where you will find noindex and nofollow. just scroll all the way sown and you will see it.

Once you click publish there there will be a box that appears. If you click, "edit in WordPress" that is where you will find noindex and nofollow. just scroll all the way sown and you will see it.

This video was on time! It really helped bring understanding to how to truly create your website. I think I was so antsy to get to this part that I was rushing this process. Thank you Kyle for this one in particular, it really for me brought clarity as how to build on your new canvas. WA is amazing, but you must be diligent and stick with the process!

No need to be antsy Kiara, you are going to just great. I can appreciate the fact that there is unknowns when learning anything new, but do know that you are going to have plenty of help every step of the way!
I have another question when it comes to purchasing a domain. I want to do a free domain for right now and then eventually purchase it. My question is will it all be one price no matter the name? What I mean is, for example, I searched travelplanetearth .com to see if there was a website with that name already and on the website page it said I could purchase that domain name for $4,995. That name is available on the free siterubix domain, but when it comes down to eventually wanting my own .com I don't want to be SOL out of that name because of a price. I really hope this makes sense! Thank you!

this should help you to plan/budget for the purchase ...

hi,,can anyone tell me how to make a website that is meant for collaboration between individuals of different discipline under one goal? for e.g translational medicine is about bridging the gap between basic scientific discoveries and clinical application,,,for this we need to bring experts of multiplediscipline on one plateform to work on developing effective drugs and devices...can such collaborative plateform be made on website? how it would ;look like..any idea

Are there any journals that concentrate on this subject? Do you follow experts on each of the subject matter? Perhaps you can reach out to them, let them know that you are interested in writing about their work and you have some questions to ask, hopefully they'll say "Yes" and you can have some questions already written up and email them so they can be answered. That is really all I can think of, i don't know if that helps

Interview one expert from the multidiscipline and the other from the drugs and devices and then it would seem to me that the people that would be the best to answer theses questions would be the patients who have benefited from a combination of both and they can explain their journey from traditional, to natural, to anything else and finally getting relief from a combination of your two interests.
I'm having so much trouble deciding on a niche. I'm thinking travel, but is that too broad of a subject? Does it need to be more specific? I'm going to start training to be an Independent Contractor as a travel agent so that's why I was thinking a travel niche. I'm interested in a ton of other stuff, too like beauty products, animal conservation, photography, things like that. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Your niche could be travel, absolutely! It is a broad topic, but who cares! You can do what you want. Just make sure it's something you're passionate about and can see yourself writing about daily. Or, be more specific. Like, where was the most amazing place you've ever visited? Let's say it was Italy. You could choose Italy travel as a niche. Or Mediterranean travel. Something more specific like that. Your only limit is your imagination.

When we do a keyword search for our niche, and we find five good matches of keywords. Do we write posts for each keyword we use on our website?
Also, if I use a keyword (QSR-under 100, traffic over 40) like "basketball shoes", but when I write my post, I make the title "basketball shoes: the cost" has this basically changed my keyword when searched for by people? If the keyword phrase "basketball shoes: the cost" is ranked number one, do people have to type it just that way is titled to see the post.

Hello WA-ites!
I'm about 2 days old in the community, still working through training and I'm about to build my site. Lot's of questions going through my head but, the immediate one is, what is a realistic expectation for a site to start showing some income. I don't mean to sound like a cheapskate, but I'm a dreamer and a doer and unfortunately, some of my ventures have cost me money and I have not had positive financial results. I'm a bit limited right now and I need to plan. Suggestions and your experience is much appreciated!

So I'm thinking of picking something to do with music production. Like plug ins or midi controllers etc. Thing about this is obviously music equipment is costly even in today's world. $300 is still $300 regardless if it was quadruple that 2 decades ago. I'm confused on being able to do this without having used a product. How do I write about something I've never used? Maybe I havent gotten that far in the training yet though.

I have to confes that I am confused about finding the right niche.
Could the niche be an online store front? I have a website that someone else created for me by using "Go Daddy". It is not perfect by any means. I have no google ranking what-so-ever and therefore it does not bring me any clients. The website is a wedding/event flower business that I was hoping to get going.
Is it possible to build a website for a local wedding/event business?

Perfect - I was thinking along those lies myself adding to my anti ageing, oils, fitness etc. There is so much you can do with a site like that - hair, accessories. Wonderful and I would simply transfer your your hosting from Go Daddy to here and start working on that website. If there is anything I can do to help please feel free to ask. I also had a florist shop at one stage and did a lot of weddings. I would go to ali baba, ali express, ebay, amazon and etsy and see what is trending in the wedding industry and also check out the hot sellers in that niche and you will soon have so many ideas flowing through your head and it will give you a good idea where you want to start and do not be afraid of expensive items - the dearer the item the more commission and people are paying zillions to get their wedding just the way they want it

Hey Leila, welcome to WA.
thinking about a niche is like thinking about what i would like to help people with. you can then find products to solve problems within that niche.
in a way you are lucky - you already have a site with a niche.
with that niche you can stay local to where you are or go global and try helping people around the world.
one problem i see going global is the different meanings of flowers and cultural differences.
staying local or at least within country will expand on what you do locally and you could target a large number of local towns - jay has special training on local seo.
so you have a head start over a lot of people, or you could choose a different niche to learn the business system here and then go back and redo your wedding event flower business.
write down exactly what you want to do and achive - this way you have something to aim at.
good luck

As I understand it, Leila, Google has search engine optimizations that are aimed at improving your search engine results specifically for your local market. I have never pursued it because I am not doing a brick and mortar business as I have done in the past, but I do believe that Google has a protocol for finding customers local to you.
One of the results for the search string 'using google to find customers in your local area' gave a link entitled 'Improve your local ranking on Google.'
Not for sure either will apply specifically to your situation but the part about 'build a website for a local wedding/event business' makes me think it might help.

That would be a great niche.

If you are serious, and I will tell you this is the REAL DEAL then get your Premium Membership as you have some serious handicaps picking a theme, and other things without it.
I will add you as a FOLLOW and ask you do the same for me. If I can help just let me know. I wish you all the luck on moving on. Please add me to you.

I understand I have been in and ripped off by several Inter Mark Programs, I know how you feel as I am falling back on old tools however that may mess up HOW I get connected to the servers. Follow the training at least through 5. You do that you should be able to set up without issue. If you jump around people here that could help you cannot as they get lost too. Just suffer through what you already know as it will help you in the end.
I would not tell you this unless I know this to work. If you follow the program they have things like SEO and other important issues taken care of. You will get traffic from your ranking in the SEO right off and it will start your making money. Work through section 5 of the Training anyway to see what I mean, work the programs in order.

all of these details will vary affiliate program to affiliate program.
read the terms and conditions.
here for instance the affiliate program pays monthly and pays a hefty percentage of the monthly premium.
you also need to look at the lifetime of the cookie which brought the visitor to the sales site.
here, again , is very good and is a lifetime cookie, the last person they clicked through before coming here is the one who gets the commission.
you can find the info for here under the dollar symbol at the top and clicking on the program details.
amazon, for example pay up to 10% and pay two months behind. you can have cheque, voucher or pay to an account.
so as you can see it does vary a lot - check the terms and conditions.

You sign up for each affiliate program, and part of the process is linking a bank account or PayPal email. Each person that buys through your affiliate link is tracked as your referral, and you will therefore get paid a commission.
Every affiliate program is different in terms of payment method, how often you get paid, etc. You'll just have to read the terms for each one before applying. As for Wealthy Affiliate, since you are a member, you are already signed up with the WA affiliate program and your affiliate link can be found on your profile.

Hello Guy and welcome to Wealthy Affiliate.
I think the niche you are choosing is awesome.
You do want to narrow it down a bit though.
What is it about the war that you are most fascinated with?
You can use Jaaxy and Google to help you narrow it down and Jaaxy will also show you how much competition it has.
You can definitely use WA. If you were to go premium, you will get 25 free (sub) domains and 25 purchased domains that you can have hosted here with security, to build websites on, at no extra cost.
I would do the certification course first and then go through bootcamp.
You want to get your site up and ready to promote products. Your site need to be established before promoting products.
I hope this helps my friend : )

As far as my niche goes, one of my big interests is concealed handgun carry or even everyday carry (EDC). I am not a wacko gun-toting weirdo, but I live in an area where carrying a handgun makes good sense. It is popular and I think it would work for me. But is it too broad of a niche? Should I narrow it down? What are your thoughts?

Hi. In my mind it makes sense to know how to operate a gun, and know everything about that particular gun that you carry. I see a not too broad niche, as the laws are such to keep it narrow. There are enough kinds of legal guns and accessories to use with those guns and subject matter to support a niche. My thoughts are to learn all of your state laws and branch out if you choose. Weapons have been around since creation and our creator has something to say about them as guidances.

As I am extremely new here, I think I should ask for help in one particular area. I have just started my training for the certification, definitely not at a level where becoming a WA affiliate is a good idea at the moment...I have someone that wants to do this too. What do I do? What should I tell them? LOL Help????

Hello Shawn and welcome to Wealthy Affiliate.
If you have someone that wants to join, send them your link, let them join through you and you learn together : )
If they are wanting to do it then you must have told them how awesome it is here, right?
Well maybe you didn't put it exactly like that, but you must have given them an idea of what Wealthy Affiliate is.
They know that you have just started. Just let them know that if and when they have questions, that there is an awesome community here that loves to help others.
I hope this was what you were asking for.
If not let us know and we can further assist you.
P. S. In order to get your affiliate link you will just click on the $ on the top right and then click on links and tracking. Copy your affiliate link and then send it to them : )
Wishing you the best in all you do

Hi there,
1. I would be happy making $5,000/mo. This would allow me to replace my current job
2. I would be estatic making $10,000 - $15,000/mo. This would allow me some freedom in life.
3. While I have to work, I can dedicate no less than 20 hours per week and want to be at level 1 by the end of 6 months to a year max. I understand that it takes time to build something worth while.

Hey guys, I know it might be to early for me to be asking this, but with an affiliate marketing business and utilizing Wealthy affiliate, ideally when and where and how should I go about with affiliate links? I know I am only on step 9 of the first process, but it just occurred to me. I tend to overthink allot and I apologize, but I had one other question. So Kyle's website is named "Basketball Skills and Drills" mine is named "MoneyPlays" because that's the name of my business and I am trying to grow a brand. In my mind this is what I need to do to build an affiliate business, but should I be naming it like "Make Money Online" or something. I am just a bit confused this morning, maybe someone can clear my thoughts up for me, thanks!

Don't worry too much about links until you understand how to gain traffic. Before you learn how to get the traffic you must understand that content is king. Without a solid form of communication between you and your audience, the links will be useless.
A name is simply a list of words in whatever order you choose. That isn't a priority but guess what is. The actual content that you build because it is how you Help other people get their needs met.
People will only care about how you can help them and ignore most of the rest of the stuff that you overthink.
Remember to make use of problem-solving because that is what will get people to listen to what you have to say.
That means you can use any name that you want but the more it makes sense, the easier it is to remember, and the connection people make from it to your products, the better things will go.

Well, it depends on how you look at it. Yes, I got the phrase MoneyPlays through an episode of Psych where there at a casino, but it has nothing to do with poker. I believe that gambling is something we do every day whether it's through casino doing or not. Every day you take a risk (a gamble) in everything you do if that makes sense. What I am trying to get across is taking risks, and taking action in life to change your life. Whether that's going to college or starting your own online business. I hope you understand what I am getting across. Feel free to check out my channel

I think it is more helpful to be unique and stand out a little for branding purposes. I feel the "Making Money online" can be very saturated if you do a google search on it. Utilize the Jaaxy tool for website domain names, blog article keywords, and even branding opportunities. It even has a brainstorming function that can help come up with crazy alternative names and ideas. I would suggest you try it out and then do some google research to see who is ranking highly for those keywords. Google keyword planner is another free one that you could use.

So does that mean you would risk it all on red or are you simply going to play the percentages and take the smartest risks?
Look at ways to convince people and be certain to understand human nature. Both things will help you to change perspectives so that you can see other people's real interests.
Remember that you are marketing for others to see not for you to see it. Which means convincing yourself that an idea is good is easy. Convincing the girl next door that you are an alpha male, that takes deliberate actions which have to be calculated.
First impressions matter but so does the behavior that you display even with your body language. In order to paint the right picture, you have to see it from another perspective.
Anyways I think maybe you are putting all your eggs in one basket when you don't have to make things too difficult.
Follow the training here, pick an easy niche like weight loss and get some experience trying things out. When you are ready for a bigger audience it will happen.
But it won't likely be in the first few tries since everything great takes way more attempts then one.

I know and understand it takes time, work and dedication. I have built this business in the perspective of risk, but also being smart about it. Life itself is its own risk. What I am trying to build and come across is taking action in life, taking opportunities, wanting change and doing that work that is required for that change. My business has nothing to do with casinos what so ever. It is simply in the Wealth niche, Earning a passive income online, building your own online business, working from home. I am simply following in Nathan Lucas's footsteps. I have only just begone here at WA, and I know there is so much for me to learn from here. Thanks for your feedback!

I am really afraid of stepping on someones toes so to speak. Please help.

Because sids or infant loss period is such a taboo subject. People don't like to talk about it that often. And I don't want people to think that all I am trying to do is make money to me this website would be so much more.

It is no different to someone who has had issues with their weight, found a solution to their problem, shares it and in so doing they earn an income.
As you mentioned it is a taboo subject, but the word needs to get out as so many people are experiencing this every day.
Why not be the first and become an authority figure?
If you do this, you will be surprised how many people will follow suit.
No different than the closet gay/bisexual, homosexual lifestyle ... seen as taboo once, now people are so much more open about it.
Nothing is taboo if you are going through it and want to share your experience.
All the best!

Hi Kayla - I'm in sort of the same situation. In 2009 I was permanently injured by surgical hernia mesh during an operation that was supposed to be routine. Since then I've been involved in the support end of mesh-related injuries, and have been networking with people on a global level, but like you, I'm having trouble figuring out how to take my experience and involvement to make a living. These are dicey subjects. All the best to you and I'm sorry for your losses. I lost a cousin to SIDS many years ago. Let me know how it goes, maybe other people here have also tackled a medical related niche.

What makes this so hard for me to talk about is. I was a nurse not only did I have the medical background and was trained on how to save people I also lost a brother to it. Even with the fact that I thought I had educated myself enough on the subject I still found myself asking so many questions after the fact. I luckily have an awesome pediatrician for my children that took the time to do her best at answering them for me.

Yeah!! Premium is the way to go. It will open all the doors. I had the same questions before I went premium. Since my upgrade I have managed to personalize my domain names. And guess what as a premium member you can have as many as 25 domain names (that converts to 25 websites) hosted on WA.
Thoght about doing mine on gift giving i guess can that be niche? Iv been thinking about it for a few hours and Iv got so many ideals on articles on proper gift giving on things not to give and how to make a nice gift but also when I get to selling I feel like I would have a wide range to choose from should I try something else or narrow this done ?

I think it's a good niche. I have been advised by much more seasoned WA members that selling is probably not the best way to go as a newbie. Are you a newbie, sorry didn't see your profile. I wanted to do the same so what i did was just put in on the back burner and started something else. From what i understand if you don't sell anthing on amazon in 6 months they kick you out. Just to be on the safe side i would recommend reaching out to an experienced member or if you joined via a mentor reach out to them. Sorry i didn't provide a clear cut answer. Please keep me posted.

Well you could try organic soap as well and Amazon is not the only place to earn a percentage. They do not pay very good commissions but if I were you I would go to ali Baba, or ali Express, EBay or even Amazon and see what is trending and also what the hot sellers are. If you look at the soaps section as well you could get some good ideas and if you are looking for images I would go to google images because they have a great array of photos - just make sure that you use the images "Labelled for re-Use" because if you use some of the ones that are copywrited you could get sued - if you need any further help please private email me and I will help - I have a couple of natural therapies sites of my own

Hi Ieila. Ingrid is correct. I wouldn't start selling with amazon until you have your site up and running and have enough content written to make it interesting for them. Once you join you will have six months to make three sales or they will reject you. It may sound easy, but believe me it isn't. Persistence, doing the training and writing excellent content is the key. I'm not sure how far you've come with your training but I'd concentrate on that first. Just remember that a site really doesn't start producing until it has about 40 good blogs written. Jim

So , Jim question, does Leila start to write about organic soap? You know, the benefits, ingredients, etc and then transition into selling soap? Or does she pick another niche, gain skills writting blogs and then she can start her soap niche? I'm a little confused about this myself. Thanks in advance!!

I should have said above that soap actually is a bit narrow. I'd stick to one niche and call it something like 'Natural products" or "Natural skin products" This would give her far more material to write about and a lot more product to sell. By just selling soap you would be limiting yourself. Jim
yes people like pure soap and bath things like balms i used to go door to door selling them for a children's charity and they smell it and that's what made the sales when i did door to door sales they loved eucalyptus for colds and peppermint for winter lavender was popular as well and Epsom salts are amazing for sales everyone likes to look after a bad back with a nice hot bath i hope that was what you were looking for

I noticed a couple of things that run contrary to my assumptions about a niche site in the example site; Footbal Snack Helmets.
There seemed to be less original content than I thought was necessary. For instance, other than a brief bio in the About section, the content was basically product descriptions and a basic ratings chart. In fact the featured video was sourced and not produced by the site author ( I think).
Is the limited original content on this niche site typical?

Hello and welcome to Wealthy Affiliate.
Like Vicki has stated, it is not typical.
Writing content constantly is a must in order to gain trust and get more readers.
If you were to only create a couple of post and nothing else, your website will remain sitting still in the rankings.
Your content and consistency is what will get your website noticed, along with traffic etc
I hope this helps.

Going to Premium was a little scary because money is tight, but I think something clicked to alleviate some confusion today. Even having a working, or practical knowledge of a product niche, I became overwhelmed at the thought of how extensive that could be working with multiple companies. But am I correct in assuming that we are, as affiliates, a kind of mini search engine within a bigger one. We specifically narrow it down for the customer in a more general way by providing the link to the vendors they need, rather than posting a thousand different products on our own WA website and spending all my time doing research. With the proper description and text of my website, could it then be just a site filled with affiliate links with no examples of products? I mean, people who contact Coca-Cola don't need a picture of a Coke to know what they are looking for, I'm guessing it works the same way for a person looking for CBD Oil, or guitar strings, for example. Still confusing and new, but maybe I'm getting there!

You could be more specific if you want or just keep it broad. I would suggest using the Jaaxy keyword research tool located on the "Research" tab on the lower left menu. You can use it to find ideas for a new website or a new blog topic. The name of your website doesn't necessarily need to have keywords for rankings. You just want to find a name that is unique and one that can be brandable. One of the ambassadors here at WA has a blog about whether work from home opportunities are scams or not. Another one strictly focuses on affiliate resources. You could do one aspect of it and then start to build on that. I'm still narrowing it down myself, but there is so much value and content that you can provide it seems limitless.

Thanks for the feedback! I am in the process of creating my website now! I have started a business or in the process of starting an online business in the wealth niche. I have invested a lot of time, effort, energy, patience, and determination into an affiliate program already, and I hope to utilize what I learn here at WA to be both successful and profitable in my business. I have already started branding a little, I have to create blog posts on Wix and WordPress on my own before coming into WA, I have also created a youtube channel telling people who I am and what is my story! The name of my business is MoneyPlays, and its all about helping people everyday earn a passive income online, in any way I can bring to the table and of course bring valuable content! So if that makes sense on what I have chosen as a Niche, that's it lol! Passive income online, Financial Freedom, earning an income from home!

Nice! It looks like you already have your direction. If you use a news theme for your website, you can create different categories and blog articles for each category to separate the content. If you don't already have a logo or don't have the graphic skills, you can always outsource it to fiverr. I paid for my new logo just to save time. The pros they have there can get it done in 2-3 days.

I'm not sure I understand the question. There are some niches that are tough like art and photography. Some have it tough with travel blogs because the market is over saturated with travel comparison sites. A niche is simply an area of interest or something that you are passionate about. The key is to find out if other people are also passionate about it and seeking to find solutions for their problems. If no one is telling them how to solve a problem they might have, then you could become an authority for that area of interest. The top niches, or areas that people need solutions for, are dating/relationships, making money or finance, and health and fitness. People will always need help in these areas. Some people write about their problems as a mother and how to take care of their infants. There is most likely something that you are good at or are curious about. Explore that and google to see if anyone else is writing about that.

The difference will be that you will put your own spin on it. THe chances of picking a niche someone else doesn't have is slim.
The thing is, you may choose better keywords, write better content etc.
You will definitely want to narrow it down though if it is broad. I would like to think that you can trust us all, but I can't really speak for others.
I can only say, that this community is the best that I have ever come across.

Thank you for your reply, Lee Ann. You've made some excellent points. I'll "risk it" and see if I can't get some help.
I want to get in the coffee business because I enjoy coffee. I need more than just an average cup o'Joe in the morning. For me, it's an experience that I relish and not merely an energy booster.
I put my heart and soul into each cup that I brew, and I love simplicity. I found one of the best ways to brew coffee is also one of the least expensive!
While I don't grind it myself with a fancy burr grinder (I use pre-ground), I am very selective where I get my coffee from as well as what I put it in.
For me, it makes a lot of sense to start with a coffee-related niche, but coffee is a topic which I'm sure is much to broad. I would welcome help in narrowing this down to something more specific.

You are very welcome.
The next question you might to ask yourself is, will you be able to write quality content constantly?
What I mean is, what else is it about coffee that you are passionate about?
If you only have one method of brewing this good cup of Joe, what else will you write about?
You have to write a lot of content, especially in the first few months.
You can do reviews for coffee, coffee pots, filters plus the brand.
You can also use Jaaxy and Google for ideas.
Check websites that are in that niche and see what they are doing.
Id there something they are missing that you could improve?
Check their comments to see what questions their readers are asking.
You can also try this
I want to help people ________
and fill in the blank.
This might help narrow it down as well.

If you only have one method of brewing this good cup of Joe, what else will you write about?
You have to write a lot of content, especially in the first few months.
You can do reviews for coffee, coffee pots, filters plus the brand.
You can also use Jaaxy and Google for ideas.
Check websites that are in that niche and see what they are doing.
Id there something they are missing that you could improve?
Check their comments to see what questions their readers are asking.
You can also try this
I want to help people ________
and fill in the blank.
This might help narrow it down as well.
I hope this was helpful : )
Wishing you the best in all you do

I was very caught up with this post. How To Create a 6 Figure Website It says some about choosing the right niche too.
I have also learned that we should choose a niche that is addressing an audience that is interested in buying a product instead of only interested to know more about, in your case cafe.
If you can add the word best into your niche would be an idea, like, my best cafe tips or the best ways to make cafe etc.

Hmm. Great questions, LeeMcQuay! I'm not sure about your first question.
I am passionate about making a great cup of coffee at home as simply and inexpensively as possible, but no less.
I've definitely been around the block on coffeemakers and coffee beans/grounds.
I want to help people: get the best coffee experience possible simply and affordably in their home.
(Now I'm not so sure about this niche. Hmm...)

Thank you for the article, Zappades. I will review it tomorrow as I'm heading to bed now. I appreciate your point about addressing an audience that is looking to buy something instead of learn something.
Perhaps coffee isn't the right direction... I will ponder this further tonight and tomorrow.

My favorite way to make fresh cafe is the Turkish way, There's not much to be sold lol.
But I think in the cafe niche is a ton of money spend if you target the right audience.

Hello fellow Affiliates! I have been researching how to make money (realistically) online. I wasted so much money over the past 2 weeks paying an "intro" price & then finding out how confusing & technical it was to get set up. I just came across a misleading link that asks for $1 for 7 day trial then $29.99 a month. I watched the hour + webinar. It sounded spectacular! Everything was set up for you - the funnels, driving traffic AND if I stayed to the end I would receive a website that had established income of 60k just have to plug in my payment link. However, the fee was $1997. Right NOW. So I Googled the company & was redirected here. My question is-is beginning at the bottom floor & building my own business better in the long run than buying one that's already established? Honestly, how long to make my 1st $100?

Hi Gayle
We have all been stung at one time or another and it sucks however you have hit the jackpot this time
Wealthy Affiliate is awesome and there are no hideous up-sells
Businesses cost money to build however if you choose to you can stay as a free member and build your business
Should you choose premium membership, you a lot more benefits.
Every business you own will cost money to build and its no different online except it is a lot cheaper which is awesome.
As for time to earn.
Some people earn quite quickly while others take more time.
It is impossible to tell you when you will make money for 2 reasons.
1. You need to choose a niche ( this is taught in the Wa training)
2. You will need to be focused, work, hard and be determined to achieve all the goals you set for yourself and you must also have a WHY- Your WHY, you want this is your driving force and this will help you create success online down the track.
I hope this helps and I wish you all the very best here on your new journey

Buying an established business is fine but they don't normally advertise the way you just mentioned. I might have misunderstood your comment but it all sounds a bit strange. Why would someone sell a $60k a year site for $1997. If I were you I'd be contacting Carson or Kyle about this. Jim

There are so many scams out there that will promise you the world and when you get to a certain point, they will ask for 49.00 to get you where you need to be, then a little later you need another 25.00 to do something and 15.00 to do something else. Wealthy Affiliate is one honest university for making a site that will honestly begin making you money if you do as it instructs you to do.
Hi all,
I just found this great site. Tons of info. I am thinking my niche could be basically about trying to raise kids. Articles on kid product reviews, trying to create routines, things like that. Idk. I was a nanny for ten yrs and also worked at a nanny placement agency and now I have three kiddos. Not sure if this topic will work for affiliate marketing. Thoughts? Thanks so much.

Hi Nichole,
Welcome to Wealthy Affiliate!
I think think this is a great niche as you will be offering valuable information to parents.
You also have a lot of experience which will help to build trust.
Maybe you should target a particular age range as when people search they usually enter an age for what they are looking for i.e soft toys for kids aged 5-6. or you can say for teens which will target a wider area but still narrow enough to work.
Wishing you success!

Sounds like a great idea. There are tons of successful mommy blogs out there. My one suggestion would be to focus on a target audience. What type of parent are you? There are many disagreements on how to raise kids out there, so your personality and your family lifestyle will be the focus of your brand.
Thanks for all the advice guys! Nathaniel, I would say I am an ADD mom I guess. It is super hard for me to stay on track etc., which is why I suggested an article about learning routines because that’s the type of things I google and learn. I am also an editor and reporter for a newspaper and I have access to tons of people I could interview.

Great lesson! Does anyone know a very easy and simple way (hopefully no coding required?) to change the color of my menu bar on my website? My theme that I chose automatically has it set to brown but is currently clashing with the other colors. *smile* Not sure if changing colors is discussed in a later lesson. Thanks so much in advance. :)

Hi LT,
You *might* be able to change it within the customize menu option (Wordpress backend) of your theme. There might be a colours section or header section. You can check there.
However, having had experience with trying to change my themes' header colour, it may require some code changes - which I wouldn't recommend unless you know what you're doing - as it could create problems.
If you're unable to find a setting within the customize menu option, you can search for support groups online for your particular theme. Maybe someone else has tried to do this and asked the question and a solution has been provided.
All the best!

Hi LT,
Unless there is a specific custom option within the 'customize' tab within your site (left hand side menu) then you will need to modify the CSS code.
Honestly I don't recommend doing that, because it is a whole different ball game to what you want to be focussing on. I personally would just choose a theme you like 'out of the box' at this point as it as messing with code can consume hours, days as a beginner and you could mess up your site if you are not careful too. Up to you but that is my advice.
If you do want to begin learning how to do CSS though, then this tutorial is a good starting point: Managing Your Website Design Through CSS Hope this helps!

Thanks so much Jackie. There are options available, but not that I see for the menu bar. I suspect it will require CSS code. No worries though, just was checking to see if there was an easier way. I will revisit this at a later time and just keep moving forward with my training for now. Thanks again. :)

I have a question about the making grammatical sense aspect of it. More of a request I guess. Could someone break that down a little bit more? I don’t really understand why that’s so crucial, and all I got from the video was that I shouldn’t do it. When I use Google, I’ve always clicked on the often grammatically incorrect suggestions that come up in the dropdown menu, and probably because of that a lot of times I search for grammatically incorrect things when not using the suggestions. Is the issue that not many people are like that?

Hey Mike,
Welcome to Wealthy Affiliate!
The lessons are meant to guide you.
Kyle only wants us all to be successful, so he shares with us all of the different aspects of what makes a successful website.
Should you prefer to not make grammatical sense on your website that is entirely your right as it will be your website that you will be creating.
However, I'm sure you will understand better as you move through the lessons.
Hope you find this helpful.

Hi Mike, I just watched that same video last night, and had the exact same thoughts as yourself, but I see what Kyle is saying - if you think about the idea that we are creating posts and pages based on (and using) those very Keywords we are doing our research on. My perspective is that ideally, we don't want to be using the grammatically incorrect terms in our posts. I hope what I am saying makes sense? In the end I figured that I would somehow incorporate both, but I am yet to figure that part out.
Wishing you every success with your new adventure in WA.
I'm loving the community and the training.
Cheers for now

I think that the reason that the lesson tells you that your content should make grammatical sense is so that people will understand what you are saying. For instance I had to re-do some content for someone I am mentoring because the way he was portraying content sounded odd. He was also not putting the correct amount of spaces after a full stop etc. He had difficulty with English so I found that trying to read his content was hard work.
If someone comes to your website they have to be able to understand what you are trying to say and being grammatically correct will mean they stay longer and there you have built trust because you have portrayed that you know what you are talking about. That is my take on it anyway for what it is worth.

I'm getting inside my own head on this. I've literally thought about this all day and talk myself away from every idea. The things I like to write about are more informational in value, and not geared toward products. For example, my daughter is newly expecting twins. There is little information available regarding what to expect during a twin pregnancy. Seems everything is geared toward singletons. Additionally, my 'specialty' knowledge is in regards to a genetic blood disorder that is considered rare. Not much info there, but again.. it's informational, and unless I can figure a way to become affiliated with the pharmacy and sell the specialty medicine, I don't see that working out, either. My husband is a huge truck buff and likes to restore. I'm sure there's a huge market there, but it's not something I want to spend any time learning enough about to write convincing copy. Like I said.. I'm in my head here. :/

Actually, that is a pretty good niche. You can talk about what to expect from having ywo s and promise product grated specifically toward multiples. Strollers, is the product I think of. Just the idea of needing two of everything...You could promote, supportive items for the pregnant mom and branch into baby products x2. Just a thought...
Aw, your words came out fine. I understand what you mean. You know, I can easily see a book idea here! Unfortunately, I don't have the time right now to write one! (But I'm definitely filing the idea away for a time when I'm more successful and not worrying about a time clock to earn a wage, so thanks for that!)

Sorry so many questions tonight but....
When naming a website through WA, does the name have to mention what the site is in reference to? Just as an example, there's a blog for happiness and prosperity and it's called Dumb Little Man. I would never know what that blog was about without clicking on it.

Hi Stephanie,
Like Audrey wrote, it is best to do so. Although it doesn't need to be explicit about your topic / niche, it should definitely be related and appropriate. It appears that length is not as important, and some domain names are quite long, so something descriptive is a good idea.

I do have a question, can our website translate from English to a second language of our choice? Or do we have to write everything we wrote in the second language for our viewers? I’m bilingual so this is important to me as I’d like to target both English and Spanish speakers. Thanks!

There are different tools that can translate content for you out there, but automatic translations will never be very good, so ideally you have to do the translations yourself.
I would however suggest you to start with one language and make that successful. If you start with two languages there will be twice at much work, success will take longer to achieve, and you will make the same learning mistakes in both languages.
Once you have learned the process and succeeded you can always expand to another language.

I believe that there are WordPress Plugins that will translate from one language to another. I don't use one. However I would be concerned that the translation may not be totally accurate and may lead to stuff not being correctly translated.

I was able to change the theme of my website but it's not looking sexy at all, so I was wondering if that's the way it's supposed to be, cause the one I saw from sir kylle's sample video was looking much better, am wondering if it's probably because I haven't added any Images to it or something. 0ne more thing, I'm seeing something like "sample page" on the front page of my website and I don't remember placing it there, how do I remove it please? or is it supposed to be like that? help please.

Hello David and welcome to Wealthy Affiliate.
What theme are you using?
Kyle may have a premium theme one that he purchased.
As for the sample page, if you log in to your back office in WordPress, click on pages and then hover over the sample page it will show edit, quick edit and delete. Click delete and that will get rid of the sample page.
Back to your theme, it could be that you don't have it all set up yet, like your menus and widgets.
I hope this helps : )

Quick update since I can only blog once every 24 hours. I just joined premium on September 30th leaving one day to end my adsense account revenue with a sweet chump change. I was having problems with keywords for a while but since I learned to use Jaaxy, my September ended on a good note and I'm not even using a niche.
Jaaxy is great for any types of blog.
Now I'm going to spend all night fixing up all 17 of my sites lol

So my first idea for a niche is a compact iron that is really a clothes steamer. My husband and I saw them in a mall last Christmas time he bought me one. I have lovved it. You just hand the article of clothing on a hanger steam quickly and ready to go.

My Ex and I used to travel all over the USA for different Conferences and Dinner Events. It took us forever to find a neat little steam iron that the handle folded over and it became really small. It came in handy for years. I just realized that I have not seen one since. Sounds like a GREAT! niche to pursue. Your Audience is unlimited. Especially these days when weight and size make such a huge difference when flying.
