We are now getting into the FUN stuff! Search Engine Optimization, also known as SEO!
You have your website in place and now you want to make it SEO ready so that search engines can find it. Our goal is to get ranked in the BIG 3 engines, Google, Bing & Yahoo.
Do note that our focus is going to be primarily on Google though as they own over 70% of all search traffic, and over 95% of mobile searches.
But why do you want rankings in the search engines? Simple...
Website Rankings = Targeted Traffic = Revenue!
The rankings are the first step in creating an online revenue stream.
Today we are going to walk you through the set-up of a Wordpress plugin that is going to do a lot of the "dirty work" for you and will take care of the optimization of all your website pages/posts, meta tags, and other aspects that search engines look for when ranking your site.
I have created a "Setting Your Website Up for Search Engines" video walk-through of this training and please follow along as it will add a lot of clarity to how SEO works, but also how to install the All in One SEO plugin.
Task 1: Set-up All in One SEO on your site
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is a very important aspect of any website's success.
In this task we are going to be setting up a plugin that makes our website code (the stuff behind the scenes of our website) friendly for search engines like Google so they can index and rank our sites properly. This is going to be very powerful for your website content getting ranked in search engines going forward, so DO NOT skip this task.
Since you activated the All in One SEO within the last lesson, you should see the "All in One SEO" item with your main menu now in your Wordpress back office. If you mouse over that menu icon, a sub menu will pop out (see below).
Simply click the "General Settings" link. This is where you will be going to set-up your SEO settings for your website.
The main section you are going to be updating here is the Home Page Settings section. There are two sections that you will be updating there:
- Home Title - This is the title of your website that will show up when you get ranked in Google and other search engines. This won't actually show up on your site.
You want this to reflect the actual title of your website that you created with your site, but also add something to make it a bit more captivating.
Ideal Length: 40-60 characters, keep under 60 - Home Description - This is a description of what your website is about and how it will benefit people. Don't overthink this part, you just want to be descriptive as to what your site is.
Ideal Length: Under 160 characters
Although there are a TON of other settings, you are not going to need to update any of these at the moment, not for SEO purposes.
When you are done updating your Home Page Settings, scroll down to the very bottom of the page and click the "Update Options" button (as shown below).
Upon doing this, you are done. Your website is set-up and SEO READY! :)
A few important points things to take note of here about All in One SEO:
- You DO NOT need to "Upgrade to Pro". The free version is more than adequate for your needs.
- You won't see these changes to your actual site. The work is done behind the scenes within your websites HTML code. It is making your code friendly for search engines.
Awesome, your website is all set-up for SEO now! As you build out your new pages/posts, they will automatically be optimized for Google and other search engines. If you have any questions about the set-up process, leave them in the comments below and we will give you a hand.
In the next lesson we are going to be discussing KEYWORDS, the root of all of your rankings, traffic and success online.

Good day Everyone!!
Just to be honest, I'm on a really tight budget now. I just want to know if it is possible to earn just by using the free starter plan? I'm really serious to learn about the training and If i got the chance to earn using starter plan I will surely upgrade my account to premium. Thanks in advance if you will share your experience using free starter plan.

Honestly, it is doubtful. This is a program that takes time to build. You have to be devoted to constantly adding new content to whatever category or niche that you decide to go after, but it does take time?
I have been doing this quite a while, and I have been back here since July 3rd. I haven't made any money yet and I don't really see it coming soon, but I understand how it works so I have not been pushing to make money either.
I am just going with the flow and things have a way of falling into place. "A watched pot never boils", if you know what I mean?
Good luck whatever you decide.
I will tell you this, after a very exhaustive research into this I have finally decided to stay here and just follow the training. One of the biggest tools this membership has to offer is the community!
There are 1.4 million members in 193 countries and they have been online as a company for 14+ years.
This is the strongest community of like minded people I have found online. There is a lot of knowledge here! You can take that to the bank!
Good luck my friend,
David

You could, but you'll have to do a lot of research on your own about how everything works.
If you want to stay on Starter, what I recommend is:
1. Go through the first level
2. Watch any other training you can as a Starter
3. Focus on writing A LOT and consistently.
4. Find a free keyword tool. Ubersuggest is one I like.
5. Use Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools to have your content indexed faster.
After 4-5 months, see your progress and decide how you want to proceed.

Hi, Je,
Wealthy Affiliate is not a ''Get Rich Quick Scheme.'' There is a potential to maybe share out your links to family friends or on Social media and you may well get a referral that way.
That is one of the awesome parts of Wealthy Affiliate as soon as you become a member you are already accepted as an Affiliate.
Your Unique links are all in the $ sign top right.
To be honest if you want to earn serious money then you will need to go premium. I will be truthful with you although $19 doesn't seem like bundles to some it is to others. So I would never judge anyone on that. I was a broke Mom when I started out.
Thank fully W.A. changed all that for me it was the best $19 investment I have ever made and that was back three years ago now nearly. I haven't looked back since. I still get excited at learning new stuff everyday.
We are always kept in the loop here and up to date with the way Google is forever updating and changing. The internet is evolving all the time and we are lucky to evolve with it too.
The training here works simple as.
You seem to have the right mindset already and want to get stuck in.
What I would do if I was you is, dig deeper into the free training you have here. You will have access to tons more helpful training from the community here if they have their posts turned on for newbies.
Keep writing lots of quality posts in your website.
Write content that will inform and help your audience. Quality helpful content. Answering the questions you think your customer needs. There is bundles to write about on any niche.
Use up all this time you have and keep learning and keep writing new articles. Keep sharing out those links. Then when you are able to go premium you will be well in front to take on the next lot of training modules.
Wealthy Affiliate is a brilliant platform but premium is certainly the best way to go.
Wishing you all the best in all you do!

Another question. I created a site specific email address. Under Settings within the back end of the site the original email that I used to sign up to WA is in there. I'm not sure whether I need to change it to the site specific email in order to receive emails from readers etc or that if I do this I will not be able to receive emails from WA to my original email address. Make sense? I want to use my original for all messages from WA or members but not for readers of my website. What to do?

In the Websites --> Site Manager --> at the top of the page is the Email Button .. you can set up as many email addresses as you like for your domain.
You can then use that email on your website for notifications, etc. or any other use you wish ...
You can also setup forwarded email addresses so that the mail goes to your default email box, even though it comes from different sources with different email addresses. How To Setup Email in WA Hosting

Hi, currently if I choose only to be monthly member, can I upgrade my membership to 6 months or yearly at any time? And in future if I am yearly member then can I cancel my membership at any time? Is there any member cancellation charge? Please let me know. Thank you. Have a great time.

Yes, you can upgrade at any time. And you can cancel at any time as well. There is no cancellation charge, but there are no refunds either that I am aware of, so you probably shouldn't go for a yearly membership until you are absolutely certain this is a business for you. Hope this helps :-)

I will answer part of this. You can upgrade as you like. If you do I suggest you wait until the Black Friday special starting the day after American Thanksgiving.
As for cancellation costs, that I haven't looked into but if you have a website, to keep it you will have to transfer it out of WA and I believe that costs.

Hi Kyle/Carson/ community
I am interested in getting into solving the unemployement problem because l know there are more jobseekers in the job market than the jobs that are available which accounts for the term that exists i.e. "unemployment rate". So l want a niche that says options to the 9-5 job model. Is this fine as is or can you tailor-make it to suit a niche phrase. I just think if people are helped to look outside of the job hunting conditioning the world would be a better place and there will be less of struggling amongst the world's population and families' lifestyles can be improved and upgraded and you will not have children not being able to go to school because there is lack of financial support and many of the other social ills that confront the world today.

Make sure you are fully committed to the program before you pay for 6 months or a year, as there are no refunds.

That is actually what you are going to be doing yourself. Learn how to create the right content for your niche so that you do figure out how to gain the most traffic.
Since no niche is the same, there are only tips and tricks that you can learn from other bloggers by studying their individual websites.
That Is also why you will want to know who your competitors are. Affiliate links and making money come last after you have learned how to get traffic to your offers.
But the best way to do it is to answer questions that people are already searching for. That is where keywords come into play which you can guess or you can go right to the groups where your target audience hangs out.
That way you can interview them or survey them to find all sorts of things out which will help you to design the best content that attracts them to your website.

One trick is to ask your target audience which products they have tried, which things they are aware of, and which ones that they wouldn't try.
That is a part of the interview or survey but it can assist you in knowing who the competition is exactly.

Thank you to whoever left me a comment in answer to my question about whether to get a .com or a .org domain name. It popped up, I read some of it and then it disappeared! And I can't locate it, but thanks whoever-you-are!
Basically they advised me to get a .com if I intend to make money as a .org is generally used for charities and not-for-profit businesses.
I had already bought the .org but have since purchased the .com
Now my question, is what do I do with the .org domain I don't wish to use now? Is there any way of 'unbuying' it?! And if not, is there any way to offer it to someone who might want it? Or is there still some way it could be useful to me that I don't know about? I just don't want to own something that I won't use that someone else could benefit from.
Thanks!

Hi - although a .com is seen to be better, more recognisable internationally etc, you could still use your .org as another site in the future, perhaps for a different niche. One of my sites is a .org, and I have had no problems with it, as regards indexing and being found in Google searches.
Once purchased, it is yours for a year. You could maybe sell it or give it away. However, if it is the same name as your .com domain, perhaps you don't want somebody else using it, as they could be in competition with you!

Ok, so I registered a domain and then was at the point of choosing a design but exited to look at something else. I now can't seem to access this site to add a theme. I've tried through site manager and site builder. When I click site manager it asks me to logon to WA but then takes me to the setting up a domain page. Can someone help please. Thanks
Kyle & staff ...
although I have really just started my journey, I have not been able to avoid a theme. The arrow or mouse seen throughout each presentation is sometimes very difficult to follow. This in part due to my being a newbie. Another reason is due to the size of the mouse or pointer and the fact that it blends so well into the background. you can imagine how this could give attendees a rather nice headache.
May I respectfully suggest an edit on the presentations going forward? I recommend a dark color (red) circle to house the mouse or pointer of sufficient size to be spotted instantly. This will also help encourage viewer attention span.
Thoughtfully ...

Hi pretty lady!!! Thank you for your post. I enjoyed reading both it and your bio. you are an interesting young woman.
While I AM still learning - ARGGHHHH, I am aware of the screen information you shared. but as I posted (I think), my issue is not the screen, but the mouse or pointer on the screen. I have watched presentations with the mouse as we see at Wealthy Affiliates - HARD to find AND follow; and I've enjoyed presentations that displayed the encircled mouse - MAJOR difference. Much easier to follow and to understand the material presented.
I also posted because I know I am not the only one concerned about this, but I am probably the only one to have posted about it.
I LOVE that you shared what you have in your profile. I would love to meet you in person.
Again, I appreciate that you posted!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello - realistically is it recommended to set up a website with your own domain to drive traffic to your site? I'm conscious that my content won't show in google searches with a free site. I am more than happy to invest and pay for the premium membership once I've familiarised myself with the WA site and the introductory training :)

Hi there people! Happy Monday! Any help on this niche thing will be appreciated!
I'm a singer songwriter with a small YouTube channel. I have no albums to sell yet but will do further ahead. When I think about writing to promote products, the stuff I would get excited about is personal development books and courses, and spiritual books and courses. I may write a book myself at some stage.
My songs are uplifting songs with a positive message that would appeal to people who are interested in personal development and spirituality. So there is a link between my music and the products I'd like to promote.
Would it be best to have 2 separate websites, keeping the music spearate, or have it all in one place?

Hi Lisa, This isn't a get rich quick opportunity but some people start to earn pretty early on. It is one to look at the long game. To build something solid that will sustain over time. As far as your niche, almost anything will work with over 4 billion people on the internet. Choose something you are interested in or are knowledgeable about. Maybe even a disability? It should be something you'll stay interested in for the long haul. :) Hope this helps.

Since I work at a Web Agency and I'm every day building websites for customers I really would love to promote hostings, Plugins, WordPress themes and so on...just because I really enjoy looking for the best solutions for my customers at the agency I think I can do this in a larger scale. Do you guys think it could be a good niche? I guess there is lots of competition out there related to this niche...could this be a problem?

Hey Andrew, It is my opinion that anything can be a good niche. Even if it is a popular one the fact is that you will bring your own spin to it making it unique. Since you have experience in this area, I think it would be worth your while to dedicate one of your websites to it.
Of course, you will get additional advice on this situation from others in the community then you can make a good decision.
To your success,
Claudia

There will be competition in ANY niche, and that's a good thing. It means people are making money! You'll have to work to establish yourself in the niche, but everyone has to work. I wouldn't worry too much about competition at this point.
Imagine if there was never any room for new businesses. People would have stopped opening coffee shops long ago!
If you focus on creating good content, the lazy people will drop off, and you will gain authority in time. Even if you aren't #1 right away, you can pretty easily establish yourself in the top 10 sites in the world on any niche if you stick around long enough and focus on growing your business.

I guess the first question that comes to mind is, would it be better to choose a more obscure niche that will rank higher in
Google because of less competition or choose something more popular that will get more traffic,
I'll keep going with the lessons and see if that is answered.

Hello Kyle/anyone that can help, do you suggest just one product/service per site or is it viable to have a general category e.g. Babies and then on your site have categories such as clothes, sleeping, car seats etc (I'm not using this by the way just after your opinion).
Also, can you suspend your website from being live whilst you are working on it?
Thank you

Ok, so, I'm thinking about my niche and I'm pretty sure I'm overthinking. I am a coach, have been coached, see the value in it so think this might be the area but think it's too broad and probably have to be more specific. I suppose the issue is also that in order to promote others then I would need to really know whether or not their products/services are above board and of value. So I'm getting caught up. Then I think my other interest is actually enlightenment/meditation etc. I have practised and continue to be on my journey. Again though, it's knowing to whom you are referring. Perhaps I am getting ahead of myself???? I am also an avid reader, love love love books. I love to write and love to teach or share what has helped me in terms of coaching and in relation to my journey of enlightenment. Overthinking? Overcomplicating? Yes!

Hi Martine, your thought process is very understandable. But one thing you need to realize is this: It is going to be your audience who will decide what content they enjoy the most.
When starting out, it's great to have some kind of content plan. But once you start receiving traffic and comments, that's when you'll see which of your content gets the most attention. Then you'll have to go deeper on those topics.
Very often, it won't be the articles that you personally thought were the best... I think in 9 out of 10 cases, I'm surprised which of my articles get read the most.
However, to reach that point you will have to write A LOT. A looooot of content has to be added to your blog.
So here's the best advice that I can give you:
- Take a topic where you see yourself writing every day for a full year. Don't take a topic where you cannot see yourself doing that.
- Pay close attention to which of your content gets the most traffic, comments, or social media shares. Then think about how you can expand on those topics.
Growing a blog is a process that you cannot plan from its inception. It's a dialogue with your audience and readerbase, you will grow together with them.
Hope this helps!

Thank You very much for the awesome website builder and the help w all of this to Kyle and Carson and The Community for making it less scary confusing and like I am actually for once not stuck on the same few spots that make me give up and say ... I will try again tomorrow... I am really excited to introduce the topic in a blog or two then to bring my company into it and yesterday studied up took notes feel like I am really learning about my niche to expertly tell a story about it. One thing I have personally noticed is that when you do pick a topic that you truly are interested in and find fascinating or that you really can help someone out w their problem or future as opposed to just any product that you are so so about it really does make it that much more exciting to want to write something compelling to possible really start a following or get ranked highly on Google. Within the week WA has truly given me the confidence to think Skies The Limit. That is Awesome for someone like me who is in between jobs kind of struggling financially at the moment and a week ago was going “crap now what” to just a very much more positive outlook... so Thankful...

Hey, Kyle! What do you think of a niche called "Crazy Cowboy Boots"? Really different boots with lots of color that stand out. I have been in the music business all my life and i want to try to attract stars (for one reason; they have money to spend) and for another reason; I have always LOVED cowboy boots! My hero and heroine was Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, for heavens' sake!

Hi - it's a great idea, I love cowboy boots! However, one thing to be aware of is that all the images on your site have to be copyright-free, you can't just copy and paste them from Google or other websites.
If you are thinking of promoting brand name boots, they will most likely be trademarked. This won't be a problem once you have joined relevant affiliate programs, as they will supply the images.
Just be mindful of the fact that initially, your images will just have to be generic boots, no fancy named brands.

I'm going to need to see if there was a scholarship that I can I'll be in on because I have no money on my cards at all I've been working trying to do things on the internet to make some money so I can pay for such a good deal like this right here you know but I haven't received no money so I'm kind of in
LOL it's really kind of confusing but once you start looking at everything and start figuring it out next thing I need to do is get my site and found my Google you wouldn't even believe what I went through to get here it's kind of a nightmare should I get some money on my cards I'll be uploading I think the premium have a good nite

Hi! To narrow your Niche down, 1st determine what are you most passionate about. If it helps, write down a list to make it easier to focus. Make sure that it is something you love. The more passionate you are about the topic, the more that you will be able to find content to write about. Next, write down, different questions that you can break it down into, to answer.
Niche Example: How to make Candles
- How to make Container Candles
- How to make Pillar Candles
- How to make Votive Candles
- How to make a Candle with Paraffin Wax
- How to make a Candle with Soy Wax
- How to make a Candle with Palm Wax
- Different types of Candle Wicks
- Are Wood Wicks better?
- Why you should never color Candles with Crayons
- Is it safe to add Glitter into a Candle?
etc...
The more topics you can think of for your Niche's that you are considering, the easier it will be to write an article for. At the end, whichever Niche you can think of more topics for, would be a good place to start. You can always add another Website later, once your 1st Website has been built and has Traffic flowing in.

Hi keishalina. Each topic you announced hurts deeply in a different way yet all named are very common, I myself had to kick it from an abusive relationship all the way out of my province over into the Natal province.

Hi , everyone, I have some doubts about the starter membership as I don't seem to find anything specific enough about it.
- After the 7 days are over will I still be able to be a starter member if I don't upgrade to premium within the 7 days?
- If so, for how long and what specifically will I have access to and what will I not?
I currently don't have an international Visa/master credit card only a local one, I've already ordered one from the bank and it's being sent to me, so it's going to take a few days to be able to use it for this.
Had I known I only had 7 days of community access I wouldn't have joined just yet. People don't seem to specify this when they promote this website. All they say it's free to join. It's a bit disappointing to find out you have such a limited time of free access only after you've already joined. I don't find anything specific about this on this website.
So again, my doubts are:
- After the 7 days are over will I still be able to be a starter member if I don't upgrade to premium within the 7 days?
- If so, for how long and what specifically will I have access to and what will I not?
Thank you.

You can remain a starter member for as long as you like. But, you will normally lose your free site after 6 months. By the 6 months point, you should be ready to go premium or this isn't for you.
You will not have access to chat and many other awesome benefits until you go premium.
Take your time and try things out and become premium when you see that it is the best way to go.
Best of luck!

Thanks for the reply and the info. I'm going to see what I can do.
PS: I think I made it clear that it's a credit card issue (which should be solved under a month) and that It's not a "I don't have enough money" issue. I am fully aware of what this entails.

The $19 first month of premium goes away after your first 7 days, from my understanding.
I've read, in several places, that the starter account is for as long as you like ... but then, I've also read that it's also just for 6 months. Six months should be plenty of time to decide on premium or not,

I've read quite a few Promotional Sites for WA since joining. There are some who mention the 7 day period for Starters, while others avoid the topic. If you are sure you want to go Premium when your Card comes in the Mail, be sure to take full advantage of the 7 Days Trial just in case. Remember to ask questions if you need it!
There are quite a few things that I wish a Starter Member didn't lose out on.

I already tried to reach Kyle via a post as a comment back to him. Like I'm doing here. But haven't heard from him since yesterday. And he posts other things not related to my topic on the same thread. Which I find weird. It doesn't seem like he reads them.
So I went for Carson to see if he answers back.
I think starter members should have access to a contact me message on this website, as normally we are the ones with the most doubts and we should be able to hear it from them. If you know what I mean.
Anyways I do appreciate you guys helping me out with this.

Hi everybody! So, I have a few ideas...I mean the sky's the limit here hey... But I feel more drawn to help people with personal development. As this is something I've been practicing and believe through my research already in progress I will benefit out of this as well, and not just $$$ wise.
My question though is that, this is also a very wide topic. Can one take this and make multiple websites for different areas of self development. To target the different audiences .....

I have chosen my niche within the health and fitness industry and there are three products within the industry that I will be promoting. 1. belly fat burning product to consume before bedtime. 2. A health cookbook. 3. Yoga as a means of exercise for adults of all ages.12 week video program.
Would it be possible to promote these three products simultaneously and how do you think it can be done ? Hope I have not bitten off more than I can chew but I thought it could work well as one niche.

I wouldn't decide on what you will be promoting until you have your content first. Your promotions will be based on your content and what is relevant based on the context of your content.
You will get there as you go through the training, the first focus with your website is to build out the foundation, the content and get rankings. Once you have rankings and traffic then you can focus on what you are going to promote.
There are 10,000's of affiliate programs and millions of products you are going to be able to promote as an affiliate, don't ever worry about there being nothing to promote within a given niche. There will likely be 100's if not 1,000's of things you can promote. ;)
There is no sense in putting to much thought into what you are going to promote until you have content in place and an audience to promote to. You will definitely get there though!
RE: your niche
What aspect of the health/fitness niche do you want to help
people with? There are literally 1,000's of niches within these categories and you will want to narrow it down.
When deciding on a niche and trying to narrow down to a more specific niche, I recommend you ask yourself the following question:
I want to help people that ______________.
Fill in the blank and you are going to be much closer to a specific audience. After you do this and if you want to run any further ideas by me, let me know and I will give you a hand. :)

Hiya Claudette
I recommend starting with just one focus and then branching out once that one area is successful.
If you could do all three and connect them all for belly fat burning/reduction that would work better. That means your niche would be belly fat reduction.
But promoting them as 1. Belly fat 2. A health cookbook and 3. Yoga would mean 3 niches.
Will be interesting to see what other members say, but that is my take.
Wishing you every success!

great video. Does Wealthy Affiliate has a build-in WordPress system to build our sites? My reason for asking is because, in the past, I downloaded WordPress on my laptop to start practicing web creation.

Hi Lincoln, I'm new but I'm sure I saw somewhere that it isn't available here. You would have to look at what is on offer to add to your website.
One of the members was saying in his blog this morning, and he is very experienced that a funnel will only work once you have established credibility with helpful, informative content. Until then it is wasted money, although it seems faster.
If you are new to WA perhaps best to put you question in the question bar up the top and read posts from the community.
I looked at funnels before I came to WA and am now glad I'm taking a more stable route. They can be very expensive and as everyone is buying the same one as you, you will have many competitors.
Quality content will get you the traffic you desire. Give it time perhaps.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
I initially selected a theme but I realized it does not suit the type of product I want sell online. For the business I would like to get involved is selling products but theme heiro or preloaded options seem not appropriate for such. How do I change or where do I get a relevant template?

Hi - as a free starter member, you only have access to a few themes, and actually, it is better to start with something simple, so you don't get confused during the training. Remember, it will be a while before anybody sees your site, so it doesn't matter what it looks like at this stage.
If you want to change, log in to your Word Press, and go to Appearance, then themes. If you see any you like, click install, then activate.

Hi - people will find your website by the content you add, not by how it looks. There isn't anything you can do as regards your theme unless you are prepared to upgrade to premium when you have a choice of over 7000!
Have you tried customising the theme? You can usually swap the words and photos that were on there to start with, just to make it more relevant. Go to Appearance, then Customize.

I'm going to be blunt as I am in the information gathering stage and deciding whether or not to purchase premium. If, for some reason at some stage one decides to leave AW I assume that you would not be able to continue with the website/s you have developed. Can someone advise? Also, can one cancel membership without penalty at any time?

You can cancel at any time, but you can't get your money back if you stop. For example, if you pay for a year and you decide after 3 months that you want to stop, you can't get your money back. On the other hand, this works as a great commitment device to keep working since you've paid anyway.
If you go Premium and you decide you want to cancel, you can't go back to Starter, but you can move your sites elsewhere.

Yes, you can earn money on the free membership. In saying this, generating money in the first week or month prior as a Starter is like having an your introduction course to becoming a surgeon and expecting to perform surgery within the first month.
The first month is typically your foundation building stage. In order to build a website that earns you consistent revenue, you need this foundation. After this, you are going to start seeing traffic and as you build this out, there are many different ways in which you can generate revenue.
Personally it took me into my 3rd month of busting my butt to make my first dollar online, by month 6 though I was making consistent income and by the year mark, I was almost full time.
But guess what would have happened if I quit during those first two "trying" months or had instant revenue expectations. I would not be where I am at today (going on 17 years full time!). Just wanted to put things into perspective for you.
I am in this journey with you, so is the community here at WA. If you want to jump in, work hard, take action, and persist.
You will have some awesome things accomplished by the time you finish just the first 10 lessons of the getting started training and you will be prepared to build a very successful business online within the Premium membership.
But do upgrade at your own pace and take action on the tasks. Action is what will lead you to success!

Hi Martine
Welcome to WA - great questions, let me see if I can answer them for you:
A1 Siterubix and WA work hand in hand. Your 2 free SiteRubix sites come as part of your free membership with WA. Once you go Premium with WA you have access to 25 free SiteRubix websites - this is great for starting a new site, testing themes and niches etc..
A2 You can purchase your domain anywhere and redirect it to WA for hosting, or host elsewhere if you choose. I have kept everything in one place (within WA) because everything I need is here. I bought my domains through WA and host my sites here - the support is amazing.
In response to your comment: I am not techy at all and am finding the WordPress sites to be great to work with :-) You can make your site as simple or as techy as you choose :-)
WA is an awesome platform which is why everything I do online is kept within the platform.
Blessings

In response to your comment: I am not techy at all and am finding the WordPress sites to be great to work with :-) You can make your site as simple or as techy as you choose :-)
WA is an awesome platform which is why everything I do online is kept within the platform.

Can you purchase a domain through someone else but apply it to your website via WA? (Appreciate your patience - I am somewhat clueless when it comes to this side of things)

Ask EVERY question you have. If you stick around, you'll see that the community here is great.
That's the #1 reason I love this platform. Most people love answering questions, so don't worry about that.
What exactly do you mean by "apply your domain to your website via WA"?
You can have a completely separate site. You can host it somewhere else without any connection to WA. And you can apply everything you learn here to your site.

If you're not sure you want to go Premium, just stay on the Starter for now. Finish the level 1 training and then focus on writing.
In a couple of months, if you want to keep going, go to Premium then. It's better than going now and feeling like you made a bad choice.

You can only use a SiteRubix site if you are a free member. Most members who pay for a premium account also want their own domain. You can buy one here at WA (which is often just 2 or 3 dollars more but it is much, much easier since you don't have to transfer it over), or you can buy one anywhere else. If you buy it here you get the hosting included however and there are no upsells unlike Go Daddy and other places.

Two ideas for my niche:
- Helping patients and families become more informed about their choices/options approaching hospital discharge before the day of discharge. The questions they should be asking and the questions they may want to consider before day of discharge. Thoughts? I am not sure how to simplify?
- Promoting an eco-friendly lifestyle. Thoughts? Too simple?

Oh ok, I think I get you now. I thought your concept had been simplified, but you were talking more about the fact that the idea requires words i.e. asking questions upon discharge. If I'm correct in this assumption, my advice is to write it and then edit. It's amazing how much one can cull through repeated edits.

I like the hospital discharge one. I don't see a need to simplify it; I would go all in and write everything there is to know on the topic. Make it the go-to resource for your target audience.
The eco-friendly lifestyle niche could definitely work as well, I'm just worried the competition is so stiff you might not have success for quite awhile. This is just a guess, I could be totally wrong.
If you need any more clarification/thoughts, just let me know!

Hello, guys, I need your help which will need a creative way of thinking. I think one of the good ways to find your niche is a knowing on what you believe and with what you had actions. I mean not only interests, because it can be a fiction in our minds :) so I understood that I like adrenaline, its a skydive, diving, fast speed. But I don't have any idea how to connect all these things in some logical aspect. If you agree or also finding your niche, let's discuss:)
Thank you, Joseph, actually its good idea, about drones:) but immediately is a new question about competitors. Do you find a niche for yourself?

I'm working on my first site and the material.
First question: Does anyone have any advice on how to maintain your personal privacy while still being personal and relatable in your blogs? I'm drawing from my experiences with my family, but keeping their privacy is definitely a priority.
Second Question: Does anyone know of a good reputable source for great stock photos (free or reasonable priced)?
Many Thanks!!!!

That is something that you are in full control of, and you can do what you are comfortable with. Many of the most successful bloggers out there have used aliases (pen names) and that is completely fine, or you could just use your first name, or a nickname.
And when you engage people with your content, you want to be relatable.

Hi Kim,
I too have often wondered about my family and relatives' privacy. As you become more comfortable behind the keyboard you will naturally find ways of not mentioning names or releasing too much information to the public.
The last thing I want is my uncle breathing down the back of my neck, making sure I don't share one of the embarrassing moments of his life (and believe me he has a bunch I could share)
LOL
I have found that having someone proofread my more personal articles prior to posting them helps me quite a bit, a second opinion is always more keen than the original author, and can also make sure privacy is maintained to its utmost.
Hope this helps, Calvin

Hi - first of all, don't be rushing ahead. The training is laid out in a specific order to build up your website to a genuine online business. Its a slow and steady process. By following the training step by step and completing each task as you are asked to do so, you will have built your website by the end of lesson 4.
Health is a very broad and competitive niche, so ideally you need to narrow it down so as to be seen as an authority on a particular subject. However, not so narrow as to only focus on one product. You can promote lots of different products.
When you apply to join an affiliate program, they will inspect your website to make sure it is suitable, before you get accepted. This means having lots of original content which you have written about your niche.
So, your first steps are to follow the training and build your website. From then on, write lots of articles about your niche. Finally, you can apply to join affiliate programs and promote products.
This is not a get rich quick scheme and takes time, hard work and patience.

Hi my fellow Wealthy Affiliates,
I am in the process of deciding whether to choose my own niche or whether to go down the path of promoting WA as my niche. I have a question out of curiosity for those who have started their business/es already....
Have you found that you have had more financial success online through promoting one-time purchase products or, have you had more success through promoting subscription-based products and services? i.e training courses, platforms, programs etc.
Would love to hear your feedback on this :)

There are many different ways to earn money from your websites. Answering which one would do best is very difficult. So much of our success depends on our own abilities and strengths. One person may do well with products another with subscriptions. A person with great marketing skills will most likely make good money from sites based on ecommerce and not blogging. Excellent writers will do better with blogging.
In the the end it all depends on you and your own personal skills and your ability to focus. Jim

I've chosen a particular name for my business/brand called Rockfeet, the intention of the business being to review rock climbing shoes to help people find shoes that will rock their feet! Check out my barebones website here: https://rockfeet.siterubix.com
I did a quick google search and found that there is a shop in Sri Lanka called Rockfeet which sells shoes (not specifically climbing shoes though) and they have a facebook page. Would there by any conflict with the naming here or would it be okay to leave it as it is.. Just don't want to be caught out in the future!

Also, I just quickly checked international copyright law and protection of names falls under trademarks. I also did a search for trademarks and Rockfeet is not taken by anyone so I could choose to trademark this but I don't see it as high risk or necessary right now so I think I will leave it. I also think Rockfeet has the best ring to it, or I believe in it the most so I think I will consider trademarking it once it is a bit more established.

Hi there;
I already have a website where I have Woo Commerce and a few MP3s that I made a number of years ago. I have thought of adding to it somehow, maybe as an Affiliate to add more products, as I am now "75" and no longer create guided meditations or teach meditation. Unfortunately, I know almost nothing about Affiliate marketing and am not interested any longer in working more than a couple hours a day. However, I still need to make some money and would prefer doing it with products I believe in.
Can you give me an idea of where I start with this program? I need to know where to find products and add products, what does so many days of cookies mean, and how to get traffic?
These questions would be after building the website.
Also, does this cost 19.00 a month??
Thanks so much,
Jackie

Hello Jackie:
I see you just joined WA today. You should start your learning of the first 10 lessons included in Level 1 which are free for life. That will give you an idea of the high quality content there is here at WA, plus the helping spirit of this great and enormous community. If you join as a Premium member within the first 7 day free trial period the first month is $19.00 USD and $49.00 for next months, but you can pay one year for a discount of nearly 50% if you take advantage of the Black Friday offer coming next November.
If you already own a website you can move it to WA servers and get a lot of additional benefits as you will learn in the first 10 lessons.
I hope to see you in my friend.
Best regards from México.

As for what you promote, I would recommend that you promote what is best and most cost efficient for your audience.

The Managed Wordpress hosting you have access to here at WA is matched by very few hosts in the industry in terms of quality, security, speed, and support.

Why would I choose a niche if I can go all in???!!!!!!!
I'm not into Affiliate Marketing even though I like it, but I will explain to you all "Affiliate Marketers" how to GO ALL IN instead of one niche>>>
Now, most of the market is shifting to E-commerce which means the data is easier to collect throughout the tools from the websites that offer affiliate marketing, as a result, you can gather all the date from these website and compare them on your website.
Every customer will pick a product from your site will be directed to the E-commerce that provides it, and you will get your percentage and you will get a lot of traffic because you are trustworthy and will provide the cheapest prices, both sides win which is the most profitable business.
Good luck for you all, and I gotta work on website,
sincerely,
Sohib

Hey Sohib,
You have somewhat of a grasp of how affiliate marketing works, but I think you might want to do a little more homework (or take the training here), to learn how to be successful at it if this is what you are planning on doing.
Don't be miss guided, not every visitor to your website is going to click on an affiliate link, in fact most will not! Equally important the looks of your website is not all the important until you start getting daily traffic. However, the best thing you can do for your website is to keep adding content (great quality and helpful to the other members of your niche).
The more content you can add to your website the more authority you will gain with the search engines (improving your ranking potential). this works for just about any online business model, not just affiliate marketing!
The key to affiliate marketing is great content to attract visitors through free marketing strategies. Then you must gain the trust of those visitors through the same great content that also will get you ranked in the search engines.
Learn while you earn is the only way to go!

Ecommerce is certainly one direction that you can head, however there is a lot more overhead, many more risks, and way more people fail in this space simply because they are thrown into selling products that are usually dropshipped, have slow delivery and low quality.
We recommend ecommerce for folks with an established sales record and brand already, and we certainly help LOTS of people with their active stores.

Are people really interested in what I have to say? If say at the moment I’m really passionate about my Bible study and quiet time can that be a niche? I am passionate about zero waste living which I’ve previously created a website around and I’m also just passionate about being a stay at home mum and unschooling my daughter so I’m thinking of using these as a niche.
I just don’t want to feel like the things I’m passionate about become a job which in turn make me lose passion about them, does that make sense? I guess I’m scared about having to constantly blog and turn out information and photographs about something I’m passionate about instead of actually enjoying something I’m passionate about because I have to blog about it and constantly write or photograph it and lose the immersion in the thing im passionate about or maybe because I’m like old school I’m not that comfortable constantly being on my phone whilst doing something I really love...
Sorry that was a lot of writing diarrhoea but I’d appreciate your guys help or thoughts and thank you so much for all the wealthy affiliate community and support, love Colette

A lot of companies have already an affiliate program so you can just go to their website, fill out the form to apply and then they'll give you the links. It's usually very easy process and you don't even need to talk to anyone in order to get the affiliate links and start earning commissions.

I followed your Tutorial for the Privacy Policy page, entered in all the information (Website Name) that it asked to change. But when I Published the Page, it DID NOT Publish what was typed, it Published something completely different. Everything that I Edited was gone, and in place was a different Privacy Policy with a bunch of Empty Fields.
Why do you have this set up, to Publish something different, than the Template that you provide?!

Paul hi, did you do this through site content or through your website dashboard? I ask because I usually use the latter and if you do too, log in to the site and see if you can edit the page and if you can, see if has the edit you made. If so, republish it. Let me know how this goes.

Hi Vitality. This is Kristina right now, not Paul. But, I was using the Privacy Policy Template through the Site Content area. Which I clicked Publish, I entered the Website to Link it to, chose "Page" as it mentioned, and then entered to Publish it under as "admin". It "said" that it Published, but now there are 2 issues.
1) What Published was NOT the same Privacy Policy Template that I was editing. It was a completely different Template entirely, that had a lot of empty fields.
2) I can only get to this Page inside my Website Backdoor (it says that it's been Published), but when I go to my Website, the Link says that the Page cannot be found and there is nothing there.
I'm very confused about what the issue is.

H Kristina,
I am not sure but it sounds to me like you did not put your "Privacy Policy Page into a menu. This is how you get a post or a page to appear onto the actual site all you did was loaded the page into the back office (dashboard) of your site now you need to figure out where you want it to appear.
If my memory serves me correctly this is taught in level 1, lesson 7 or 8, pretty sure it is in 7. this is something you need to learn and remember because it is a basic function that you will be doing often in your website's daily operations.
Good luck and if you can't figure it out send me a Pm and I will assist you further!

Thank you for the help. But this wasn't the issue. I knew how to place it into my Menu. The issue was even if I typed in "(my website).com/privacy-policy", it would tell me "Oops, cannot load page".
The issue I found was that I'm thinking either Wordpress itself, or the Theme might have come with an Included Privacy Policy (just like it comes with an included "Sample Page" and "Sample Comment"), so it was attempting to post 2 different Privacy Policies to the same URL. It ended up sorting itself out (it took about an hour and a half to show up) and turned my Privacy Policy that I created from the Template into "(my website).com/privacy-policy-2" and the other Policy Template was using the original link.
I was able to go into my Back Office and remove the Theme Privacy Policy Template and switch mine that I edited into the correct URL Link.
Issue has been fixed, thank you all who tried to help!

I have a passion for, and a lot of experience and expertise in, the subject of organic foods/cooking, as well as natural and organic personal care products, household products, pet products, etc. I get the impression that is too broad for a niche, though. Would it be best to pick one type of food? That seems too narrow to me, but this is all so new to me. Thanks.
allancurtis

Organic food and Natural products are huge categories ... A niche that you might do well at are Organic Pet Products or Personal Care Organically or Organic Receipts for Weight Loss ... something that the viewer can directly relate to ... People do not have time to read through your content for what they want. Be as specific as possible and use multiple sites if necessary if you wish to feature more than one product line or topic.
Thank you so much for your reply. I'm just trying to take all of this in. Multiple sites sounds like a great idea. With the knowledge and expertise I already have across that broad category, I could ultimately have quite a few websites. Thanks again!

The beauty of WA is you can host 25 sites for the price of your Premium Membership, including SSL and SEO ... that is an amazing package for a very low cost. You will need to buy the domain names but they are only $13.99 per year ... Word of advice though, start with one only ... once it is generating income start on the second one, etc. Do not spread yourself too thin, I did that when I first started and it was not a pretty sight .... LOL

Hi Kay, my niche is also common and there's heaps of related sites already, but I think everyone has his own way of classifying things and how you go about writing your content still makes it unique. You can also look at peoples comments and queries about the topic and come up with something new.

There's only 1 you, Kim. It's your voice, your views, your tone, your energy, your ways. Everything in life has already been done, but not by you.
Even when other people talk and write about your niche, there's room for you. Because you'll find your own tribe, your own people who prefer to hear it from you. Maybe because they trust you more. Or because they like the way you say things better. Or because your choices of topics resonate better with them.
Find your voice and you'll find your audience. It takes time, but they'll come to you if you keep calling them.
Good luck.

The copy and paste should work ... be sure you only select the url information (no extra spaces or characters) and then paste into the document ... remove the old text template data so only your new url is present in that space. If you can send the url of the page we might be able to determine what has happened.

Hi, I have two questions.
If the About me is a post versus a page, as you create more posts, it will be harder to find, no?
Also, how do you manage comments, or if they aren't managed, what if you get unprofessional comments and also manage the expectation of commenters to get responses.
I am inclined to be have my about me as a page, so that it stays at top and also to be selective on where comments are allowed.
However, I would appreciate guidance based on experience in both these areas.
I might also add, my preference would be to limit comments initially so that I can grow the website, realizing that might be a catch -22.
Thank you in advance.

You're right: your 'about me' should be a page, not a post.
Comments need to be approved first, so you can always edit or delete them before you publish. You can do that through the Comments area here at WA or through your Wordpress dashboard.
Comments help your website grow, because search engines love engagement and interaction. It will give your website better ranking.

Hi. Yeah I prefer my "About Me" as a page also. The older training had us do it that way. But I see the point of allowing comments. You can allow comments on a page too though.
If you make the About me page a post you can still add it to the menu which you will learn to do in lesson 8 of the first course.
Whether or not you want comments is entirely up to you. One thing I will mention. The chances of your website being found this early on is really slim, so I wouldn't worry about how things appear yet.
Also in settings you can set up comments to have to be moderated by you before they show up under discussions.

If you don't have the budget to upgrade at the moment, that is completely fine. You should work through the Getting Started training (within the "Get Started Here" button in the menu) and take action.
By lesson 4 you are going to have your own niche website up and running. This is the starting point of your business and is the foundation that is going to lead you to success down the road.
When you are ready to upgrade, I know you are going to absolutely love it but at your own pace.

Why have you not remedied the inability to watch videos on the site? I have emailed both Kyle and Carson about this. Where the video should be, in its place is "This video is not authorized to be embedded here". Please fix this as it frustrating! I want to start the training but can't. If there are plugins on my end that might interfere, let me know what they might be. But the learn more link says that domain restrictions need to be turned on. Please see to this or let me know why I can't watch these videos.

I hope you get it sorted

1.) I accidentally published before i did the grammar/spell check. Is there a way that i can do the grammar/spell check in the siterubix editor? (since theres no longer an update button for any changes that i make in the Site- content editor)
2.) Ive updated my about me page in the siterubix editor. but the changes are not displaying when i open it in the site content editor. it still shows the old page.. is that normal?

Click on the websites, from the left bar, the page will take you to a page where you will see all your websites. You will see a section called "my recent content", click on "View all my content" and you will see your post there. You can then click on your publication and it will open within the siterubix editor to make the necessary updates.

Yes, if you open your publication on site content, even when it has been already published, you still will be able to edit. There's a grammar check icon on the top of the editor. After editing and making corrections you must publish again, otherwise your changes will not display on your post.

i guess its just wierd.. when i open the site in the in the "sitecontent" editor, it shows me my first draft that i didnt mean to pubish. but when i press "published: edit here" it takes me to the siterubix editor, where it is the revised version. & it previews properly.. i guess its ok if its displaying improperly in only 1 editor... i just really wish i could grammar spell check .. idk

Do this: Open your Word Press publication (siterubix) and copy the publication back to the sitecontent, check the grammar, save, and publish. This way you will have the same content in both places. Remember, you are on the web enviroment. If you want to see the changes on other pages that are already open you need to press F5 on your keyboard or refresh the pages.

I am still in the process of learning so, I have a question in lesson number 2 regarding affiliation. Would WA cover all our affiliation to different companies like amazon, eBay, aliexpress, Nike, etc.? Because there a lot more compnaies that I could be affiliated too. If WA could affiliated me to all of these companies, do I still need to to them?

You would need to apply to each and have them accept you. This is normal as some want to make sure that your website covers the niche for products they are opening to affiliates, etc.
There are some affiliate networks that you can sign up to that have a wide variety of products to promote, and once you have registered that opens the door to sign up with many vendors...
Even then, each vendor will review and approve you, but at least your foot is in the door so to speak. I hope this answers your question...
Cheers!

If so, you have access to this system.
You do NOT need a laptop or desktop.

You can still set the website up from any computer. The website is not actually kept on your own computer. It is stored at Wealthy Affiliate on their servers and then you work on it when you go online.
Of course, I have no idea how often you get to a computer, or how long it will be until you get a new computer or get yours fixed?
Good luck,
David

Level 1 Lesson 9 Understanding Keywords--
I was kinda surprised that this was not very in depth. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I don't recall any mention of "buyer intent" keywords, and longtail keywords. I saw examples of low competition keywords, but with little to no buyer intent, and/or very little search volume. I'm not clear as to how creating content around those type of keywords can be monetized in such a way that it would be worth it. Will keyword research be covered more in depth, using the Jaaxy keyword tool, in a later lesson?

Yes, there is course2, affiliate Bootcamp if you are going to money make online and/or promoting wealthy affiliate, course3 is basically if you choose any other niche. There is keywords, creating content, using social platforms and much more and more in-depth. There are also LOTS of training outside of these courses and lessons and live webinars. I had pretty similar feelings as you but I figured out I was wrong. WA community is also full of people willing to help each other

There is a ton more training here at WA that is not directly in the OEC or Bootcamp. Check out this training by Jay on Jaaxy: Using Jaaxy Like a Keyword Research Ninja!

Baby steps. When creating a new site from scratch you will likely never rank for the more popular keywords with lots of traffic; the competition is much greater with well established sites. That's why we start with the focus on smaller words with minimal competition that you have a better chance with. As your site matures and Google can see you are putting out quality content on a regular basis, and doing well with the small traffic you do have, they will start moving you up in rankings where you have a better shot at the bigger words... it's all about building trust with Google and your readers at this point. Trust the system; Kyle and the gang know what they're doing :-)

10/03/Wed I have been working in my back office, noticed that
my web site address is spelled wrong, the error is "Marij" the letters "J" and "I' have been transposed, it now reads "MARJI"
which does/t make any sense because "Marij" is abreviation for
"Marijuana" Please advise. Ron@rgrgeri@gmail.com

What @DianeScorpio is saying is that if the website has the wrong name then it's down to the domain name, so you have to purchase a new one.
On the posts matter, when you get a new domain, you transfer the posts to that one and delete them from the old one. Infact take the old website down and don't use it, leave it blank. Activate the standard theme (i.e. Twentynineteen in Wordpress) and leave it, if you don't want to use it.
As for posts, i always save them on my hard-drive in pages/word.

Good day everyone.
I hope you are all doing well.
I have two questions
My first question is that do I have to pay premium fees to excess each level of training and if the answer is yes how much for each level to the last one?
Second question how does membership fees work and how much I'm I expected to pay monthly and what happens if I fail to do so?

Hi - if you stay as a free starter member, you only have access to the first 10 lessons of training. If you upgrade to premium, then you have access to absolutely everything on this platform, including the rest of the training, every single level.
The first month is offered at a discount of $19. Following on, it is $49 per month, and this is an automatic, recurring payment.
You can cancel at any time, but if you do, then you can't go back to being a free starter again. You won't be able to use this platform at all.

Good evening all. I am also new to this industry even though I initially signed up October 2018. I ended up stepping away due to life's circumstances. Things have calmed down now and so I am excited to be back and getting started. I have a couple of different niches I am looking at and will hopefully have it pinned down tomorrow.

Hi everyone. You can say that I'm a jack of all master of none. Right now I'm working as a in home support service provider. I take care of people in their home so they don't have to go to a nursing home. I was thinking about doing something along this line.

Hey Jim!
Were you going to provide info for other home aids or for the clients since they are home-bound?

That is a good question. I think I will reach other aids because most clients don't have access to the internet or don't care for the internet.

Hi All! As a lot of others, I am completely new to this! I am thinking of going with the Health niche to start. I am not getting any younger and my family has histories of heart problems and cancer ~ specifically breast cancer. Thinking if I can help anyone that would be great!

Either of those niches - heart problems or breast cancer sounds like a good way to go. It's best to go with the one that you're most passionate about.

there are some things im interested in writing content about, but i don't seem to find affiliate programs with products related to those interests. is it better to choose your niche "backwards" and look for products/affiliate programs and then based on that choose your niche? (this is likely what the user with the football snacks niche did). or should i just try to find affiliate programs elsewhere and or just use ones that are only somewhat related to my niche? thanks

You can do it either way. If you choose the product first path, however, you may run into a bigger issue.
In order for any site to be successful you will need loads of content -- dozens, if not hundreds of articles. So, the real question is, if you based your site on a product, 1) is there enough information there to create that much content about it, and 2) can you create that amount of content without burning out before you're done?
Honestly, most people can't. That's why we recommend choosing a niche you are passionate about. Hope this helps.

Hi BvVugt, the niche i was thinking of is the "snowflake" culture and censorship at universities. There are a couple of books about it i could promote but thats it. i get that this is not an "established" niche but it is a popular subject i just don't know if there are products related to this.

Sounds like you are more about selling an ideology than products. That means you'll probably need to look at books, courses and event tickets to promote as an affiliate.
Find the people and/or brands who sell those and check if they have an affiliate program. If not, contact them and ask them if they would be interested in working with you and negotiate a percentage.
Or create your own books and/or courses and sell those.

As I am progressing and on a second training :) I am coming back to my original website and niche. I feel to transforming my niche into something kind of more specific. My original niche is called Energy healing of H. Pylori...x that.is great. Feeling to it and creating my domain called love to all of me I would like to specify my niche into.: Energetical and psychological healing of H. Pylori.- My body magic. The air of the website will be the.love to all of me element. I loved the title Love to all of me based on looking for keywords and I felt that it will be great for one article relating to my niche. I hope it doesn't sound complicated. In my first post I am explaining the broader picture I putting light on and kind of healing of the very cause of this health issue and much more x thx x for any wise insight🍀
