How Will YOU Make Money Online?
Great question!
The reality is that 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 as a result.
Today I am going to run you through one of the most fundamental, yet 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 (and beyond). It is a process that will reveal as much opportunity in the massive online world as you are willing to work for!
It is called Affiliate Marketing.
But, 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 - The Process Explained". Just click the PLAY button to watch it!
In 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. The most lucrative and the one that we have been teaching here at Wealthy Affiliate for the past 14 years is Affiliate Marketing.
Below is a diagram outlining the process of making money through affiliate marketing.
There are now over 4 BILLION people online as of 2019 (YOUR audience) and these people are going to search engines, social media, or visiting websites for help all the time.
These people 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, recommending products/services they can benefit from, and you earn affiliate commissions ($$) as a result.
There are over 550 MILLION products/services that you can promote as an affiliate marketer. The opportunity is incredible and it is only growing!
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 and make money with. You will have your very own slice of the internet opportunity.
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 (ie, really excited) 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!

In these trainings, are they going to assist me on how to make my website more pleasing to the eye? Or it's something I'm going to figure out on my own? Right now my website is just plan boring white.
Of course a websites design is initially noticed, but the part that is remembered and most important is the content. People want help solving problems and they are looking for websites that will give them answers. People will return to your site over and over because of the content.
Because if I can't I'll cry, WordPress it drains me and leave my brains scrambled 😭😢
I wouldn't like that i make good website on free domain and after that i can't take domain which i already have in my free URL, because somebody else took that domain before me.
I hope that somebody understood what i wanted to say :)
Thansk in advance to all!
You can use the move feature found within your site manager to move you siterubix subdomain to your dot com, when you are ready. It is a simple process.
You would need wait up to 30 days (Kyle's recommendation) for 301 redirects to be completed and for the search engines. After of which you may delete the subdomain however you could keep it for longer if hosting space is not an issue
You can check Kyles training tutorial below Move On Over, My Brand Has Arrived What really matters is your destination URL.
So, you could build a website called cat.siterubix.com and still be able to transfer it over to dog.com.
It is always best to focus on the niche one website to start to set up properly however as time progress and you become familiar you may expand. It can take lots of time and effort setting up the one site.
As a musician, im looking at musical instruments, music accessories and apps and audio equipment.
We have several interest that we want to pursue, Is it okay to have so many niches to start with or is it better to focus on one or two?
If I visit your site to read about home security, I don't want to see articles about musical instruments.
