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 4.75 BILLION people online as of 2022 (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 ($$) as a result.
There are over 550 MILLION products/services that you can promote as an affiliate marketer. The opportunity is incredible and it is only growing!
By Lesson 4 of this course you are going to have your very own "niche" website in place that you will use to connect with your chosen audience and make money with. You will have your very own slice of the internet opportunity.
Task #2: Create (Write Down) Your Financial Goals
You want to earn revenue right? That is great! In order to earn anything however, you need to have some goals in place.
In this task we want you to join in on a "money goals" discussion here at Wealthy Affiliate. You are going to be telling us what your goals are and going forward, we are going to be helping you achieve these very goals!
QUESTION #1: How much money would you be happy earning?
QUESTION #2: How much would you be ecstatic (ie, really excited) earning?
QUESTION #3: And how much TIME are you willing to invest to achieve these goals?
PLEASE make 100% sure that you do not skip this step and you revisit this post regularly when you are in need of some motivation. I can absolutely assure you that if you work hard at this and you are persistent towards these goals, you will achieve them. But ultimately it is UP TO YOU!
JOIN DI$CU$$ION: 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!
If you have any questions about any aspect of the make money process, feel free to leave them in the comments below.
Awesome, off to the next lesson now where you will be "choosing your niche"!

Thanks so much
ReplyYou need aim for ONE focused niche with a specific group of people, I'd go with what's best resonates with me.
A niche is a subject vs a product.
In the first instance, I'd ask myself
Am I passionate and genuinely interested in my chosen niche, as I I'd be expected to write lots of content, it would motivate me to update blog with succinct original content worthy my visitors week in week out.
Would I be writing about it in a years time or two or more
Who would be my target audience, who would benefit most from what I have to offer. A Niche is A Group of People Looking for Stuff
So to answer Kyles question we could say.
I want to help seniors with thinning hair solve that problem.
Essentially you are writing more informational posts so that you do not sound so salesy to Google and if there’s a solution, a detailed analysis review post for your visitors to let them make an informed decision whether to go click your links and go purchase the focused item you proposed to solve their issue.
It is so terrific to see the knowledge you have. What a great opportunity and people will be so grateful for the information you provide. When you have your dot com website, let me know because I would like to learn how I can keep my hair from thinning too. Thank you.
Kindly let us know when needing help or have further questions.
Always a pleasure to be of assistance.
All we can do is continue to acquire the necessary tools, skills and training that we need to become the "best us" that we can be. Seems reasonable enough to believe that we're all here seeking the same thing- a better life for ourselves- and that the search for that has ultimately led us all to the same place, right? WA!
What an ideal utopian community..........a place where everybody is helping everybody achieve!
Whoever you are, wherever you are, know this- you're so needed in this community. If you joined this morning or you joined in the beginning, it's all the same......we need you!
I really hope that this community is everything it sounds to be; a place where everybody is seeking to succeed and a place where everybody is helping other's to succeed.
In conclusion, I say, the value of each of us is hidden deep within our hearts. Be encouraged and be persistent at pursuing and achieving your goal's. Truly "hard work" has to pay off and "every seed planted" (in good soil that is) has to bring a harvest.
Have Faith in God and do yourself a favor, too........believe in yourself, you really are unique and are full of potential
successful online, help others with our chosen niche and i turn find those who trust our help and buy from our affiliate links.
The WA training, tools and support make it possible for us all to achieve. and we are each responsible to implement so we succeed.
We are so excited your are here and that you found WA.
So what will be a great help to you is that you have a real passion for your niche. And the more you know about it the better you can help people who have questions. If you know how to solve problems related you your niche that is even better because guidance needs to be provided that is not found by just going to an online store.
We do hope this helps you to understand the need for niche websites to help people.
I am a little bit lost with everything I can do there.
Here are some things to keep in mind:
Your profile:
Share your profile with your business friends, as you progress through the training add your updates on your profile.

Starting out it is better to concentrate on building content vs customizations, as it takes time for your site and posts to get indexed and ranked. Therefore my priority would always be content first
As and when site starts developing, gaining traction and traffic you can then move to customizing | beautifying your website.
For example, "design magistudios" or another keyword. it give another set of resources try it out.
Tutorial Wealthy Affiliate New Search Bar 2020 - Magnifying Glass Icon
so as Kyle says ..logo and name at the top and content...content and more content...
once you have around 50 posts then you can come back and style your site...
two reasons...
one google will have taken notice of you and be starting to index and rank your articles and
two ...you have lots of info for your visitors...
and you can see where your site is going
and all of this without a sales article...just useful info...
then once your visitors get to know, like, and mainly trust you, then you can start recommending products to solve problems...
it does take time to set this type of business up, but once running then you just tickle it and the wave keeps rolling...
you can style your site whenever you wish, but doing it sooner that above means you spend time that could be writing content...
good luck

I think right now, you should focus more on content rather than design. 😄 There's plenty of tutorials for designing your site, but finishing and following the lessons would help you a lot especially if you are totally new to affiliate marketing. Please don't rush everything and burn yourself out. This process takes time and a lot of people quit before they even earn a dime. Learning takes time so take it at a good unrushed pace.
I hope this helps,
