At this stage of the course you should have your website created! Congratulations, this is a big accomplishment!
Looking back to 2002 when I started my career in Online Business it took me 30 days just to figure out how to build a website. There definitely weren't any platforms like the Website platform you have access to here. What takes 30 seconds now, took 30 days back then.
How things have changed!
In this lesson we are going to be walking you through the process of the initial website set-up. This includes the removal of "default" content that is installed with every website as well as a look around of the back office of your website.
Additionally, I am also going to be walking you through the activation of your "Plugins" and be walking you through the benefits of the plugins (feature extensions) that have been installed automatically with your website.
Below is a video walk-through showing you the process of setting up your website. Click play to watch the "Setting Up Your Niche Website - The Initial Steps" video below.
Task 1: Login Into Your Website Back Office
In order to do this, you need to log into your website. This is very easy to do and can be done using the "Log In!" button (as shown below).
This will automatically show you all your users you have associated with your website and from there you can log into your website.
No more need for manual logins and the passwords within your account are encrypted and secured using SiteRubix technology!
You can also find your website login details, username, and password within the Details link on your SiteManager dashboard.
Task 2: Activate and Update Your Plugins
After you login, you will see your Wordpress administration dashboard for your website (see below).
This may look completely foreign to you if you have never logged into a WordPress website before, but don't worry, you will get the hang of this and there is a ton of help here within the community to work you through any questions/issues you may run into.
Wordpress is the most powerful and widely used website platform in the world. It is used by over 30% of ALL websites (millions) and it also has a wide range of "add ons" known as plugins that you can use extend the functionality of your website.
When you install website here at WA we pre-install three of the most useful plugins with your website automatically and your first step is going to be activating these plugins.
You will see the The SEO Framework, which we will be setting up in the next lesson. This is a plugin that is going to help you get found and ranked by search engines like Google, Bing and Yahoo.
Also, the Kraken Image Optimization plugin is preinstalled with all websites here. This helps compress and optimize all of the images on your website automatically. This is really sophisticated and advanced platform that is going to lead to better website speed, a better user experience, and better rankings in Google (and other search engines). This is already set-up optimally for you.
Task 3: Delete Default Posts, Pages and Comments
Every new Wordpress website that you install will come with "default" or dummy content that is added with every website install. You want to get rid of this content before you can start creating content that is relevant to your niche.
The first thing you want to do is delete the default post that is added with each website.
Click on the Posts button, within the side menu.
This will take you to the posts page where you will go to see a list of all the posts on your website. A post is simply a content page on your site (we will be explaining them in more detail later).
Simply "mouse over" the post area and it will reveal the post management buttons. You will want to then click the "Trash" button. This will delete the default "Hello World!" post.
Do the same with the "Pages" link as well. There may be a few different Pages, including the Privacy Policy page. You can delete all of these pages as we are going to be starting fresh with our own content and starting the build out process of this in upcoming lessons.
**Do note that there may not be both default Pages and Posts. If that is the case, just move on.
That is it for this lesson, nice work! You now have a live website that is set-up and ready to go. This is your own Internet "real estate". You will use this website to connect with your niche and ultimately earn revenue through. This website is your foundation for building a successful online business!
The next lesson we are going to be showing you how to get your website ready to rank in Google and other search engines!

==> Did You Know Premium Members Experience 5 TIMES As Much Success?
I want to create a second website niche as my first one I felt was a little bit broad. I love and enjoy bodybuilding and I was thinking of creating a website about pre workout supplements.
Id like to help people (mostly beginners) make informed decisions based on what types of pre workout supplements there are, what they should know about them, how to choose, etc.
What do you guys think? Could this be viable or is it kinda broad? Thanks
ReplyI'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.
And if so, I am ready to dive in. All the best to you going forward.
Make sure you start with informational posts. Answersocrates may give you some ideas of things people want to know if you need more ideas. Also doing a google search and check "people also ask" section.
For instance or example.my site is dennisautosupply.com this can be very broad but I re thought about what I wanted my specific group of people to know that this is where we begin with paint detail then goes into interior detail.then finishes to engine detail. Even though my website states supply it's not parts it's not accessories. Its all the stuff in between.( niche is not a product ). I'm still learning my self. You just have to ask yourself how passionate are you about body building. By using original content nothing copied or pasted. Coming souly from you and your heart. Remember your trying to gain trust with your group of people.once you can establish this, they will trust you to have other content to focus on.just like you have trusted me to give you a answer you didnt know you would be so happy to get. And I know that I'm not the only one that's gonna give you the advice your seeking to get. In fact you get so much help here. You'll want to complete your tasks and accomplish your goals. I hope this help you. Learning never stops EVER! Have a fantastic day

1. As I mentioned a few days ago, I have changed my niche from belly fat loss to clinical depression + treatments, but I already made a domain for belly fat loss. Would I need to create a new website? Because I do not know how to change that domain to something related to clinical depression.
2. I have been making a list of content to write for my niche, whilst also going through the WA training. But I wanted to know, should I just post informative, value-adding content (of course all the content will be value-adding) for my first few posts before promoting clinical depression products? I'm not sure how to go about it. Thank you!
2. Yes, most definitely create informational posts first. Even 15 - 20 can be a great idea. Let your audience know you are here to help not sell. Also the search engines like informational posts as well. It will help your site rank better.
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.
Resource Commercial or Informational Content? What's the Difference?

Or
You can do a google search

Your niche + affiliate programs + location
and see what results you get
Following the training should help you target you're chosen audience and the fact you more or less have you're niche already is amazing... i spent a while trying to find one haha.
The community is supportive so if there is a class or something you don't understand you can literally comment/post and get a response the same day if not minutes later.
Goodluck

you will be writing posts for people to read on your website - who would be the audience you wish to write for and help? You will be writing both informational posts and product reviews. What kind of questions would people be asking about your niche that you can help them with as well? Your informational posts are important to grow your traffic. If you don't know a lot about your niche and even if you do know something about it you will be doing a lot of research online so you can help people with their problems and related questions...
How to narrow a niche down How to find your passionate niche topic and narrow down broad niches.
1. Amateur Radio equipment and accessories
2. Off-Grid living
3. Home Brewing: soda, beer, wine, mead
4. Self help/self improvement
5. Emergency Preparedness
6. DIY anything, but I am terrified with being on camera

9. Health supplements and essential oils
10. Promoting Wealthy Affiliate
Please let me know what you think of my list of ideas.
Once you grow trust with your group then they will trust you with other things you can add to your pages or posts and cool articles of facts. And then one day add affiliate links . I hope this helped you out...but as I know your question will be answered by many of us here at WA.im still in training my self. We do have a confident bunch of helpers here.hang in there and never give up.

The recommendation is to focus on ONE site starting out as it takes lots of effort and work get it going, however once you know what you are doing, then the learning curve would be less steeper to scale up.
I'd ask myself

So I focused my niche to auto detailing.from here I can add any new content I need to attract the specific group of people wanting to learn how to detail your autos painted surfaces. Then I added other content of how to detail the inside to how to detail the engine compartment . And learned all this by sticking with the training.
Now im learning what keywords are and how to incorporate them into my posts articles.low hanging fruit keywords,and many more cool things.but once you get indexed by Google, then it's only a matter of time till you get ranked once that happends the 3 major search engines will know who you are and take you to the top of the page.Its all in the training. I hope this helped.
You can go check out what I have so far with what I have, just to give you an idea of what you have to do.
But for me I dont have everyday to dedicate myself to this place like so many others because I do have a 9 to 5 or rather a 545 am to 4pm job that requires alot of my time even after I'm done.anyways.if you have further questions, you can click the live chat button,or ask @AbieAJ shes an ambassador here has great knowledge.
You can check trends (trends.google.com)
Do a search in google and see what auto suggests for each of them -
