You have likely heard the term "keyword research". This is the act of finding keyword phrases that are relevant to your niche and deciding whether or not it is appropriate to build content around that particular keyword.
Keywords are going to be the “root” of all your SEO success.
First Off, WHAT IS A KEYWORD?
A keyword is simply a word or phrase that people search for in the search engines. Every time you do a google search you are entering a "keyword" into the search box.
For example, here is an example search I did in Google.
This is a keyword. I searched for something that I was looking for and Google is going to provide me with the most relevant results (see below).
When I click on one of these results, I am taken to a website that has been "ranked" in Google. If I purchase something from that page or click an ad, that website owner will make money as a result.
With your SEO and your keyword research efforts, your goal is going to be to building a list of relevant keywords to your niche, and then working to rank them in Google just like this.
There are literally MILLIONS of keywords in every niche, leading to incredible potential. And by being a member at Wealthy Affiliate and what you are going to learn here about proper "ranking techniques", you are going to have the competitive edge over your competition.
In this lesson you are going to be tasked to come up with a few "keywords" relevant to your website and your niche.
Each Post You Create Will Be Targeting a Keyword...
Moving forward, you are going to be building content on your website. Each page of content that you create will target a brand new keyword (and we will be showing you how).
This means that every page/post will have the opportunity to rank under that given keyword in Google and lead to you getting traffic.
100 posts = 100 target keywords = 100+ potential Google rankings.
This can and will lead to mass amounts of traffic and those that follow along with this training are going to see their traffic continue to go up with every "keyword targeted" page or post that they create on their website.
Remember, Google and other search engines exist because of CONTENT and if you can deliver quality content (that targets low competition keywords), you will be able to get great rankings!
I have created a video walk-through of this lesson and I suggest you watch on keyword mastery. It is going to increase your comfort level with keywords by 100 fold!
DISCUSS VIDEO: Keyword Mastery - Keywords are the Foundation of Your Success
Task 1: Perform 5 different searches using Jaaxy.com
Your next task is going to be performing 5 searches relevant to your niche using the Jaaxy Keyword Tool.
There is a quick search feature available to you right within the Jaaxy menu. You simply click on the menu and it will pop up the submenu, with the search available right within it.
You can see I have entered "increase vertical jump" into the search (as shown below).
- basketball drills
- basketball skills
- increase vertical jump
- dribbling drills
- etc
After performing the search, you will simply want to click the "magnifying glass" icon or press enter on your keyboard.
Here are how the search results look for the "increase vertical jump" search.
As you can see there are several columns of "keyword data". These are all very important when it comes to choosing keywords that are going to be useful to you.
- Keyword. This is the search phrase that the data to the right of it is representing.
- Avg. This is the overall monthly traffic this search term gets, globally.
- Traffic. This is the estimated amount of traffic you will get if you rank on the first page of Google under this term.
- QSR. Known as Quoted Search Results, this is the exact number of results in Google that you are competing with under this search phrase. In other words, this is how much competition you have.
- KQI (Keyword Quality Indicator)
If you do a search and you don't see the full data, you simply need to click the "Get QSR" link and it will fetch the data for you. You will see that if that particular keyword has never been searched before.
Next, I want to discuss how to "choose" appropriate keywords for your content. This is critical in terms of getting ranked in Google and being the most efficient with your time. Don't worry though, it isn't all that complex. :)
The Rules of a Quality Keyword
There are a few rules that you need to follow
Rule #1: More than 30 monthly searches. You want your far left "Avg" column to ideally be greater than 30. Sometimes it is OK to go with a search volume less than this, but over 30 searches per month is ideal.
Rule #2: Less than 100 QSR (Competition). You want to keep your competition below 100 pages in Google, the lower the better though obviously. You will likely come across many terms with less than 100 QSR when doing your research, and that is even better!
As you progress with your website, under 200 is perfectly fine as you will be gaining more authority and better ranks in search engines.
Rule #3: Keyword must make sense. This is critically important. If the keyword doesn't make grammatical sense, don't use it. Do another search on the keyword that makes sense as that will likely give you different data and that is the data you want to measure.
An example of this is "best tips lose belly fat" which doesn't make grammatical sense (it is missing the "to"). I would do another search on this but this time "best tips to lose belly fat".
Do this exact process within your niche to come up with 5 Keywords.
Important Note: As a Premium member here you not only get access UNLIMITED keyword searches using Jaaxy, you get many more features that are available within Jaaxy. These include more SiteRank scans, faster results, domain search affiliate program search and much more. Jaaxy Lite is 100% Included when you upgrade to Premium.

Hey! In my daily life, I have been trying to reduce my plastic usage and avoid products with BPA and other harmful chemicals in them. I want to choose a niche within this category. I have been looking a lot into food storage solutions that do not contain plastic (things like glass food storage containers and reusable silicone bags). Would this be considered a niche? I'm just not sure how broad or specific it should be...

This is a great niche and with the emphasis on renewable containers and reducing waste, any alternative suggestions will be welcomed.
Food storage solutions without plastic is narrow enough. Have you tried using Jaaxy or Google to see what the search results are like for this criteria?

This is definitely a niche and a great one too! My sites name is Go Green With Hemp, can't give the URL, but....
Anyhow, I promote all hemp items, pretty much anything to do with using hemp in our daily lives. Which is pretty broad, but also limited if you get what I mean, all my products are related to hemp, but that is usually the only thing that links them lol. I have reviews for shampoo and conditioner, and CBD products, and clothes. I plan to promote more paper products and building materials as well. I sort these all out with the use of categories that are set in the menu as page categories.
Hope this is helpful.

I have been seeing ads lately, in Facebook, of a product that is not plastic yet wraps like plastic and is washable and re usable many times over. I have been tempted to try this product for myself. I too, think this could be a good niche.
Just a reminder though, in order to get higher page rankings, for Google's attention, you will need to write regular weekly posts on this topic. If you think that you have enough topics for this niche to write about, then go for it!

Hi guys, I've just gone through the "what is niche?" section and was wondering how you find out what products/companies have an affiliate program? Surely not everyone does and I have a few ideas what my Niches will be, but I'd like to know that what I'm using pays for the affiliation. I hope that makes sense :D

Ok, I have a question. In last part of video, workout supplements search, if person goes to your web page, but DOESN'T buy particular product, but choose from something else on their page, does it still count as revenue as person came to that page from your link? Example as shown in video: pre jym - bodybuilding, and doesn't buy that, but choose something else from creatine section. Will it still make a revenue?

If I am understanding you correctly, someone visits your site, clicks on your affiliate link to some product, goes there but doesn't buy that product and instead buys something else. Do you get money for referring them? Yes, you brought them there so you should get credit. Some places (Amazon) will give you a 7 day window, while others will give you up to lifetime of customer. Though, you need to be the last referrer usually.

Hey, Villanueva, you can make money bringing others to WA towards to your website, however, how you will convince your friends or others to have to come premium if you don,t have the experience. Also, is only $19,00 US dollars the first month and then goes $49,00 the other months. The premium, allowed to have unlimited access to much more tools that you will need. Worth some sacrifice. Hope this helps you.

These are achievable goals. What is important is setting milestone goals related to that effort of 4-6 hours. For instance setting a goal of post 1 - 2 article of substance per week. Achieving these milestones is almost as important as setting them as they will keep you focused, motivated and committed.

Hi Kyle,
I have a question about the menu tabs at the top navigation position. You had mentioned in your training that some templates do and some do not have the Home menu tab. Mine did not, though I was able to add it by following your instructions. My question is that the one I created does not perform (no side menu, text presented in a narrower format) the same as the other tabs in the top or main menu navigation,. Can you possibly please enlighten me as to why this may be the case. Thank you for any help you can provide.

Some themes have a home menu item by default, it just depends on the theme. You are in full control of these menus though.
You can add these custom menus to organize your top menu in any way in which you like, as well as create sub-menus (for themes that will support this). You can also use these custom menus to add within your side widgets on your website (within your sidebar).
Here is a tutorial on how to create custom menus: Creating Custom Menus & Navigation I use custom menus on all of my websites (over-ride that default menu). It allows much more control and organization....both good things!

Thank you for your help. Your link was to the training I had already watched, so I paid more attention this time. While my specific question was not addressed, it may be specific to the theme I have chosen. I will just have faith that my question will be answered in one way or another in the training, or by applying the training and trying different features (play to learn).
I do have a comment in that I find some confusion with the menu naming and placement nomenclature (in my understanding not the training) and I am sure time, application, and playing will solve that confusion of the different references of “menu”.
Thank you again and I hope yours and Everyone’s day is Wonderful!!

I have a question about choosing a niche. I have two ideas, travel and dogs as I love dogs, especially my golden retriever. Should I be looking at those niches in general or should I be looking for something more specific within those niches? Any advice here would be appreciated. Thankyou
ItsRyan
Premium
My advice would be to be somewhat specific with your niche. You could focus your blog on golden retrievers at first and expand to other breeds later if you wanted, but more likely will stay with golden retrievers and then simply review products for dogs or review different support organizations and draw traffic that way.
As for travel, you definitely need to narrow that down to the type of travel, destination, and purpose of travel. If you have a love of hitting the American road for a road trip vacation, it makes no sense for someone who is traveling for business via a direct flight to be on your site. So consider the audience you want. Hope this helps.

Three questions about the WA WordPress sites:
1. What happens to them when you cease being a WA member?
Continue with the underlying host? Move them to another host?
2. When you have Premium, is SiteSSL included or is it an extra fee?
3. Can you move existing sites into the WA environment?
Thanks.

I am connected with Jeunesse Global. They make and sell skincare products that contain adult stem cells. They have a new stemcell product that grows hair on men who have been bald for 40 years! We develop personal relations with our customers. The residuals and compensation plan are remarkable. Could this be a niche? I realize there is probably a skin care niche. I do not know if the way we need to enroll people as customers or as people doing what I am doing (making a business with it) would be a problem.

The key when building a business online (or offline) is building a focused audience and brand through helping people within a certain niche. It is very difficult to make a product/service your niche and that is the reason people that are within MLM don't actually have a business, they are reliant on the MLM itself versus their own brand/foundation.
You are going to learn how to properly build a business online here at WA in any niche. Within that respective niche, you are going to be able to promote many different products (Jeunesse included). This will position you for much longer term success and a great deal of long term sustainability with your business.
If you can help people, you can create a long term business doing so.

Hi Michael,
I has account with Jeunesse Global too. Antiaging and skincare industry and niches are great to be in.
But about 1.5 years ago, Jeunesse got much stricter in its compliance policies for distributor websites and ads.
All websites and ads must be submitted and be approved by the Compliance and Legal department of Jeunesse Global before they can be shown to the public, if not the accounts may get suspended.
You can email to their compliance department for further details.
Hope this helps.

All websites and ads must be submitted and be approved by the Compliance and Legal department of Jeunesse Global before they can be shown to the public, if not the accounts may get suspended.
You can email to their compliance department for further details.
Hope this helps.
Ok guys, just got done with the about page and all is published.
It took me so long cause in a way I kind of had to define my niche. I feel like I need to go back and add some more stuff and make it better but it is done.
I wish you guys could help me proofread it lol.

Your ideas seem good being that they all have a community that already exists around them. You might consider doing all of them in the future, but for now, pick one that is most relevant to your life and be all about it. Go through the training and get everything all setup and give your readers lots of valuable content and they will then easily follow your links or at least look at the products you present. Once you have one niche going and understand how to run the business day-to-day, then build your next one. Rinse and repeat.
I am from Iraq and I have noticed that Iraq is not supported by WA payment system. does that mean I will not be able to receive payment too? and is there gonna be future updates to include Iraq in the payment system?

We are looking into this. In the meantime, choose a country close by and see if that works. We are going to check into getting Iraq added, and if there are no implications with our merchant accounts we will be adding this soon.

Hi Kerry - that's not a good idea really. Remember you will be expected to write dozens of articles on your niche, and if you are already struggling with the idea of having to write the "about me" on your page, then you will see working on your website as a chore.
Are you sure there is nothing you have an interest in? If your friends were to describe you, what would they say you talk about? Has anybody ever asked for your advice on anything? Popular choices to think about include animals, beauty, diet, gadgets, games etc

Kerry do not write about or pick a niche you do not know or do not care about. People will see right through that there is no passion. What have you learned or gained through your struggles. What about making some, so to speak, coaching videos.
Actually this isn't a bad idea for me to work on also. Shoot lets do it alone side each other. I have a niche but I can have a couple, what the heck.

I am very confused about something. I am redoing the training because I didn't do it properly the first time. I want the About Me page to appear in my main menu. But if it is a post - will I be able to add it to my main menu? I was under the impression it won't show up in the menu unless it is designated as an actual page. I get the part about engagement, but it is also important that visitors be able to find the about me page from the home page. I hope my question makes sense.

I was very confused too, once upon a time, regarding posts, pages and menus. I often went over the lessons again and again. No shame in that. Yes, you have to create a menu first, and if you have any pages in your dashboard, you will be able to place your pages in the Menu, and re order them too.
I was so excited when I finally understood how to create Menus, I have two now. I have a Main menu and a Footer Menu. I soon had so many pages in my Main Menu, that I chose to make a Footer Menu at the bottom of my website for my Privacy Policy and Disclaimer pages to make room.
Kyle teaches how to create a Menu, but there are many other tutorials made by other members on that subject too. Check them all out, and eventually everything will click together and make sense.

Thank you so much for responding. I did follow the training on menus once before and I do understand how to create menu structure.
What confused me with the updated training video on the second round of me reviewing the training was the new instructions on turning the About Me page into a post. To my understanding, if something is designated as a post - it cannot be assigned to a menu. Is that correct?

You are a fast learner Wendy, it took me a long time to grasp what the training meant for menus. I think I actually figured them out myself, by trial and error. You've already gotten some good answers. When I got to that lesson, two years ago now, I knew I did not want to put my About Me as a Post, so I immediately made it as a Page, going contrary to the lesson. I am a bit of a rebel that way :)

Hi Wendy,
How are you doing?
You can add a Post to the menu no problem:-
From the Wordpress Dashboard go to:
1) Navigate to 'Appearance - Menus'
2) Expand the 'Posts' section, tick the box next to the Post you want added to the menu, then click 'Add to Menu'.
3) Save the menu
The Post will then be shown. Please see example screen print showing this.
Hope this helps,
Best Wishes,
Tim

Hi there, as a newbie, I am trying to decide what my niche should be, and I was wondering if I should worry about picking a concept so specialized or artisanal that it seems to me it would be challenging to source the products related to my concept. Is it possible to get paid from smaller, perhaps independent advertisers? Thanks for the education.

Hello Dwight and welcome to Wealthy Affiliate.
Do you have your appearance set for blog roll or static page?
Did you refresh your browser before going to view it on your site?
You probably haven't set up the menu yet as you haven't reached that part of the training . But this might cause this issue as well.

Ok. Once in your back office in WordPress, click on appearance to your left and then click customize.
You want to look for homepage settings.
This is where you will find blog roll and static page
Keep in mind, that the issue you are having may disappear once you have created a menu which you will be learning real soon.

I'm kinda stuck here.
I hold a PhD degree in women health and infertility. And I have successfully sold in the past anti-aging products "Offline" but failed to duplicate that success online and lost lots of money.
So, it made sense to me to try again now that I am learning the process all over the right way. I understand that this niche falls under health and beauty which is very competitive industry. Any suggestion as how to narrow it down? Alter it?!
I also thought about teaching the technical aspect of podcasting and/or voice over since I have been doing both for over 13 years now. I can also recommend products (mics, mixers..etc) for commissions. But I have also noticed that neither have a big market to make it a long-term.
Finally, Keto Dieting since I have been on it for few months now and the results are just amazing. Lost more than 14Kg so I think I can contribute in this market. But is keto diet very generic?
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

I'm currently building the list of keywords for the site I'm building and I've noticed that in the list for the first word I've typed I've got the Avg at over 100, but the QSR shows no number at all (it's literally blank). Is this to indicate to me that the keywords displaying these stats are uncommon-but-ripe-keywords, or is this indicative of something else?

It should give a number there or say: get QSR, which you then press. You should get the same results when typing your keyword into the Google search engine, but with hyphens!

No. As a WA member you have access to Jaaxy Lite. Kyle is using the Enterprise version in the video. It's a paid subscription, but it does everything for you like you see him do.
Ours requires a bit more DIY. Just find the keyword you are interested in and look in the QSR column. You should see a link that says "Get QSR". Click that and give it a few seconds. It will pull up the competition for that one keyword only.
Repeat the process for every keyword on your list.

If the search terms listed in this area are extremely general, you can deduce that you have more competition for clicks with that search term. Targeting other keywords or producing higher quality content can improve your search engine ranking.

Hi! Welcome to the community. You can certainly skip tasks and move on. Before I upgraded, I went through each one of the first 10 lessons, reading the text and not doing anything else. It helped me with my decision to try the premium membership. After the upgrade, I went back, watched the videos and completed every task in order.
Sometimes, you'll also need to skip a task you can't complete yet, and that's ok, you can come back to it later. I do recommend trying your hardest to follow it in order though, as it's all laid out in a certain way for a reason :)
Hope this helps!

Hi everyone, I'm totally knew to all of this! I am trying to decide on my niche and was wondering if having a niche that is available 'worldwide' is better than local? Obviously, you have a much larger audience, but I was wondering if anyone had decided on a local niche (not too small- I live in Sydney) and how they were going with that? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks so much in advance.

My suggestion is that unless you are marketing a product or service that is only specific to a local market, definitely go as big as you can.
For example, if you were providing house cleaning, it would make sense to market locally because it would be cost prohibitive to travel too far; your expenses would quickly outstrip your profits.
On the other hand, if you were providing, say, a course on house cleaning (I know, dumb, but just making a point) which the reader can use pretty much anywhere, then sell that thing to anyone who willing to buy it ;-)

Usually, the larger the audience the better. Of course certain demographics can play a part too. That aside, for your first niche, I recommend going with something you’re passionate about such as a hobby, etc. It will make the learning process more fun vs work.

I just have a question guys.
I am planning on making my website as popular as possible but as i am doing my lessons now, I took the free domain with siterubix, my question is if this would affect my ability to get traffic and make money on my site.
Would I be better of using a bought .com domain? I would think having your own domain that you bought will be better?

In the long run, a domain site is better. You can start with the free siterubix domain and later transfer it to your own domain :)

Hi Michael - yes, you are correct. It is possible to make money with a siterubix website, but it is more challenging. If you have a .com domain, you are seen as more of an authority and taking your business more seriously. Don't forget you need to be a premium member to buy and host your domain here at WA. Good luck, Diane

Having your own .com website is better, in my opinion. You can still setup and use your .siterubix.com website and then later, if you go premium, you can simply move your .siterubix.com site to your purchased .com. It's very easy to move it.

2. Can i edit my webpage (not siterubix,com) in different ways than using siterubix or WA? In other words.. what will happen to my page when i decide one day to leave WA community?
3. I wanted to pick one specific domain name but its now available. Is it worth to buy that .com page or is it better to pick .net (for example). I thing websites with .com looks more professional than .net .org ...
P.S. I hope #2 doesnt sound like i want to run away from WA today. Im only 2 days here but im really excited about this. This second question just means if i have full access and control above my website.
Thanks for answers and wish you all nice day.

Hi Erik - if you buy your domain through WA, it is just the same as any hosting site - it is yours to do with as you wish. Editing is done through WordPress. (Remember you need to be a premium member to buy and host here). Should you wish to leave, you are given 30 days to move your website to another host. You are right in thinking that a .com domain has the most authority. All the best, Diane

After tentatively deciding on a niche I went to GoDaddy and looked for available domain names. I found two domain name variations available that fit my niche "OptionsInsights com" and "OptionInsights com" and I registered them. Now I am motivated to start building my niche website because I have a cool domain address to start from.
ItsRyan

That's great! Will you go premium and host them here or go it alone at GoDaddy? I also have domain names registered at GoDaddy because like you I recently purchased them and GoDaddy won't let me move them. I did find, however, that I can still host my site here, so that was comforting. Follow me and when you go premium, I can help you get this setup.
I finally have time to really delve into this but now realising I have less an 21 hours left to ask questions. Anyone else in a similar situation? Did you upgrade to premium or decide to stick with a free account? How has either decision worked out for you? Thank you in advance!

You should think about doing a WA blog post that talks about your experiences, Susan; particularly the point you make here.
I see a lot of new people coming in thinking that WA is some kind of "magic bullet" and they'll be rolling in the cash by the end of their first week.
I don't think many of them realize that it may take months of hard work before they make their first commission, and I'm afraid they'll get frustrated and quit before they ever get there.
This business IS amazing if we just have a little patience.

Hi to be totally transparent, I actually upgraded months after I created my free account. I hated WA for a while because all their affiliates were telling me the truth about making money online, while the MLM company I had joined told me its easy and could be done within months.
I wanted to believe them but as time went on, the truth started to dawn on me, it's more than possible to make money online but there are no shortcuts.
I have been here just over two year but it is only the last year or so that I have consistently.taken action on the training here and it works, it takes time to see results but it does work.
Take your time, go through the lessons and then make a decision. If you have any question after your free period is up, just give me a message through my website ( paytoplayscam.com) and I'll try to help as best I can.

I would probably have a site title that allowed for expansion of other plans, but then focus in the beginning on one type of plan. For instance, write all about dressers for 10 lengthy posts or more and then branch out to kitchen tables, desks, bookshelves, etc.

Finally, I've set up a website. By "As a Premium member, you can build and host up to 25 free websites and the ability to create 25 sites on your own domains (total 50 websites) ", does it mean I can eventually set up as many as 50 websites for different niches, or what? I'm not so sure of this. Thank you, folks!

Hi,
I have chosen my niche as the CBD product line,
I am an associate with a current provider (CTFO) that I am absolutely passionate about....can I build my website around that? They have provided websites for me and links, can I incorporate into the website I will build here?
Thanks,

Hello every one I’m 27 years old I have absolutely no experience in online marketing or making money online I’m so tired of just existing and not living I have a 10month old and I moved from England to America , I have a few ideas but I’m slightly confused do I have to actually have this product?

Hi - no, the purpose of affiliate marketing is to have your own website which contains interesting and useful articles to attract visitors. You can then apply to affiliate programmes such as Amazon, and post reviews and links for their products. If any visitors to your site purchase anything through your links you earn a commission. The training will take you step by step of the entire process.

I only joined here 2 months ago, so it is early days. My website is up and running and looks very professional despite having no experience. It is generally accepted that it takes at least 3 months to make any money, and more realistically 6 months. Having said that, I had my first Amazon sale yesterday!
The training is excellent and really walks you through everything. As you complete each task, it builds up your website. You don't need to know any coding. You will get great support from the community, especially in Live Chat. Just jump into the training and see how you get on.

Hello Matt,
I see you have received an answer from Diane and I couldn't say it better. I had absolutely no experience not only in marketing nor in computer, so I really began from scratch. And I had to do it in English. So this gives you an idea of the quality of the training. This is a high quality school, a highly constructive community, and seeing that you have a child, I cannot imagine a better job for parents.
To inspire you there is for instance: 3 Years At Wealthy Affiliate but also: Vegas 2019. Thank you Kyle & Carson! Take a look at what I wrote about the very beginning: Survival Camp during Starter life Never hesitate to reach out, there is no need to get stuck, we all work together.
Wishing you much happiness,
N with a smile

Matt, what Diane said, there are rules here that prohibit posting our website URLs in order to 'toot our own horn' in the questions and answer sections. We are allowed to share our URLs (website addresses) on a specific thread that Kyle started, or on our Profile pages (lower right hand corner).
Regarding success, it depends on a lot of things. Google has to deal with millions of websites on a daily basis, and in order to make things fair and orderly, lots of new changes happen consistantly. It used to be easy to get Google's attention, for a search someone would do for a product, but not anymore. Now Google looks more for quality and consistancy in new content.
It's been mentioned here many times that one has to write and add new content weekly, some do it daily (I can't), to get your pages and posts to top ranking in searches.
Be prepared to write a lot, choose a subject (niche) that you will be able to write about consistantly. If you want readers to click through and buy something from an affiliate link, you have to bring them to your site. That's it in a nut shell :)

Hi everyone! Im just a newbie here and still learning. By just reading your commenst, I learned alot! Thanks for your help.
I have some kind of experience in writing reviews for various brands online but I have stopped writing long back.
Reviews can be my niche, such as reviews on different health products, beauty products, movies, and yoga & exercises because I'm very much keen to Know about healthy lifestyle.
Could you please advise me on the same.
Also tell me if I buy my own domain name then I won't have siterubix(.)com in my website URL. E.g. if I create free website then I will have health(dot)siterubix com but if I buy my own domain name then it would be like health(dot)com.
I have taken health as an example.

I have been creating keywords as i intend to write a lot of reviews on my new website. some of the keywords are 'best (topic/product) reviews' etc. Some of these keywords/search terms return good results in Jaxy, however I would not be writing a post called 'best (topic/product) reviews' (in essence a review of reviews!). i would be writing a 'best car review' for example.
My question is, do i use the keyword type 'best (topic/product) reviews'? or just 'best (topic/product)'
I hope this makes sense.

Does the amount of content that you write about your subject depend on the design you choose for your website, such as columns, graphics, etc. Does one design allow for only a 50-word blog while another one requires at least 500 words? Or is the sky the limit for the amount of content you write? (that would help me choose my niche)
I may be making this more difficult? Thanks for your input & patience!

Just complete the session on choosing a niche. Very informative and inspiring. I think I have got some good idea in terms of deciding my niche. The only issue is at this moment my niche seems to involve quite a few items instead of focusing on just one or two. I may still need to think a little bit more about it in order to finally determine which one exactly to start with as my specific niche. I welcome any suggestions and comments on this. Thank you, folks!

Perhaps the best advice I ever received was to think small with the content, and think big with the domain.
What I mean is when you are writing your articles, keep them relatively tight, focusing on just one item at a time. This will help you build traffic faster for at least that one thing. But keep your domain name larger, more of a category than a particular product. This will allow you to expand your niche later.
For example, let's say you want to build a photography site, but you already know that business is highly competitive. So, you decide to niche it all the way down to, say, "Jewish wedding photography". Now your first round of articles would be focused on that niche.
However, you also know that Jewish people aren't the only ones getting married, and you may want to create an additional series for Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, etc. later on. Thus, you wouldn't necessarily want a domain called "JewishWeddingPhotograpy" or you effectively cut off all your other potential readers.
Instead, while your initial content is all about Jewish weddings, at least until you get it built up, you make your domain name "BestWeddingPhotos" or something. That way all you have to do is create a new category on your site for the additional niches when you're ready.
Make sense?

My money goal #1>>I have a service based business and I have a goal to add products related to the service (things I'd have to buy) to sell on the website to add to my income. Am I on the right train of thought here? I wouldn't even have to change the name of my website lol!!maybe add one more word. I am only on day 2 here but so impressed.. In truth I would love to be able to make enough income from affiliate products to replace the service I personally provide. But ideally keep my service and just sub contract and of course still market products. I am in the baby stages of everything. That is why I am here and very motivated just from this short beginning. Thank you WA!!!

Of course. It's your business, so you can build it in whatever way makes the most sense for your circumstances.
My only advice at this stage of your training is to focus more on the product side if you can. What I mean is that your existing business already has a service element.
The biggest challenge with service-based businesses on the internet is controlling scale. While it SOUNDS thrilling to have more business than you can keep up with, it can quickly grow out of control and turn into the nightmare scenario: 100+ hour weeks.
But if you focus much of the online stuff towards products -- actual or digital -- you can effectively increase your income exponentially without too much additional labor.
Hope this helps. :-)

You need to have an affiliate disclosure as soon as you start including links. No, I would not add it to the privacy policy; it needs to be it's own page.
As far as when to add, it varies depending on the affiliate program itself. Each program has it's own standards. Some will approve you as soon as you have a site. Other's will want to see a minimum level of traffic. You just have to read each one's affiliate agreement to see what their requirements are.

Just note that some affiliate programs will not approve your registration if you do not have much quality content. That's why it comes later in training step by step. If you follow training closely there is a reason for everything being added slowly as you build a good standing in Google and also much content to ensure ads will have traffic for affiliate programs.
BrokFTJFH

The issue with adding affiliate links right away is that affiiliate programs usually won't approve you until you have some content on your website. My recommendation is to apply once you have several posts on your site, then wait to add links until you have traffic coming in. Affiliate links won't earn you anything until you have traffic so no reason to have them until you have traffic.

Is it true that if a person clicks on your product link on your website and goes on Amazon that you also get a commission on everything in their cart and not just the product? Is there a time period that the clicked link is "sticky" and you still get a commission if they didn't buy the first time around?

Hi, I'm want to make a website for a game that just got released and doesn't have a dedicated website. However I can't think of the types of products that I can market there that would produce a good income. I understand that it would be different computers and gear like mice, keyboards and headphones, but people don't buy them by the bulk on a daily basis.
I was thinking of having this website for tips and guides and such, and have the products marketed on the side, such as the kind of gear popular players use.

That's my point, the main focus of the website would be purely to have different guides to the game and having these products marketed on the side really wouldn't produce much income since it's not the main focus of the website. Especially since you would only be getting a small % of the actual sale.
If the website picks up really quickly and has some real fanatics of the game and the streamers that play it, MAYBE it will produce $50 a month.
So my new plan is to just have a gaming accessories and gear focused website.
Hope this helps!

I have two questions, first, I have a privacy policy page that came with my theme I chose, should I keep it?
Second, I'm concerned about copy right. Is it something I need to be worried about? Lets say someone does a site about comic books, would they be in danger of being sued? Then there is also the concern of imagery on the box of an affiliate item that is linked. This may be a silly question, but I spent my early ears as an artist, and we were taught from day one to fear the copy right system.

In fact, the keyword phrase, "anglo concertina lessons", looks especially promising, as there is good traffic and very little competition.

For my niche I'm thinking of focusing on travel information. I don't want to focus on large well known places like Big Ben or the Statue of Liberty, but smaller places that allow you to experience the culture that may be around or near those larger landmarks. That way my readers can see the big stuff, but also immerse in the culture of where they're traveling as well.
AJTrimble1

Sounds like you are getting there. Travel is much too broad of a category by itself, so your competition will be pretty stiff; you would be competing with sites like Travelocity of even the various airlines for top position. By focusing more on the smaller "side" areas, though, I think you will have a better chance, depending on how you spin it.

I think you're best approach would be be to think bigger with your domain, but thing smaller with your content. What I mean is that, initially, you could just focus on local areas in one particular country if you like with your posts.
But I would not purchase a single country domain (.uk, .ca., .au, etc.) unless you absolutely know you will only be catering to that particular audience. If you go with just a standard .com site you will give yourself the option to expand locations later.
Make sense?

That's what I was planning on doing. I'm recovering from chemo so it's left me physically and financially broken. So I can't visit these places on my own, so my aim is to post about these smaller cultural places for others to visit and help them with trip planning. One example is a candy shop in Japan. It's unique because where you order is on one side of a cliff and the shop is on another across from it. The cliffs are separated by a small river. You place the order and your country of origin on a sheet of paper in a basket and they pull the basket across the gap with the river underneath. They make the candy by hand and while they sent it back over the rope to you, it has a Japanese flag and a flag from your country while they play your home national anthem as a sign of friendship. Cute things like that is what I want to put into my site. Each post would take a little research, but I enjoy it.
kfox85

I may do that one for a future site, the country I have to most excitement about is Japan. The culture fascinates me. I think AJ was right and I'm happy that I narrowed down my site to one country. I feel less overwhelmed, and I like the idea of dedicating a site to each country. I may do Mexico next. I'm fascinated by the ruins you mentioned. Mexico is one of the few countries I've been too, and I really regret not being able to go to the Mayan ruins.
I had a pretty good idea how this all works before pursuing this endeavor. I do a lot of scientific research online. And took note of how the different websites were available on the search engines. I will be honest, I always make a point to only hit on a company’s official. Hopefully, not too many people do it my way.
I’m excited to give this a shot,

So having just watched the ‘niche’ video, I’ve learnt that Gardening is maybe too big and idea for a niche, I have to break it down into smaller subjects.
I’m thinking plants/seeds/bulbs...
There are so many other things to choose though,
Furniture, Tools, Containers/Planters, Ornaments...Could these niches be added to my website at a later date or would Ibuild new websites in the future.
I also thought tocombine gardening and wine, again is this too big an idea?

Gardening and wine are definitely two different niches. You could do gardening but this would be a competitive niche hence why you niche down. You could buy and start a website with a more generic gardening domain but start with a smaller niche within the gardening niche then as you build your brand you can add more sub niches to the same site.
Plants seeds and bulbs sounds more niche do some research on Jaaxy for different keywords and it will also tell you whether you can easily too.

Maybe you could focus it on either veggie or flower gardens. I know myself I would love to see a blog like that. I have so many questions about what would grow in my area, how I should prep soil to grow a garden so I don't have to use pots, and how to keep pests away without using chemical based pesticides. It would be easy to link to items that could fill each of those rolls.
Hello everyone,
First my apology for the loooong post:-). So I just finished watching the "Choosing a Direction" video and do have an idea what I want to do.
I have been doing a lot of research for the past few months which led me to Wealthy Affiliates. So research is one of my strength.
I would like to helping people achieve financial freedom - by giving them lots of valuable information about what and where I got information that has helped me thus far - my focus is Investing, Saving (including coupon use) and Online business.
I also love Photography. NOT AN EXPERT photographer, just love taking CELL PHONE pictures of mostly nature and landscapes. So I intend to use my pictures as well
The above is going to be a blog.
On the ecommerce side, I also have an idea of what I would like to sell, except that I feel it is saturated.
My questions are:
- can anyone suggest a niche? I just want to see if other suggestions would match with what I already have in mind.
- Also, should I use the 2 free site on the starter package to create separate sites or should I just do the blogging and perhaps add a sale section for my product? Is that possible or recommended?
- Lastly, how can I use my pictures to make money on the my site? Should I add a tab to display the pictures?
Thank you

Hello Gladys. Your gears are turning, which is excellent!
First, don't worry about saturation. Not on the internet, anyway. As you progress through the lessons here, you will learn how to find terms that people are searching, but there is low competition. You'll be learning the phrase, "low hanging fruit."
You will also learn how to do this with the starter site package, which will be a blog.
So keep those ideas going, but also keep moving through the lessons here. As you do, you will be working on those ideas.
Any other questions, feel free to ask away!

Focus on providing quality content to your viewers and don't worry about saturation. The idea is to set yourself apart (or as an authority in the niche).
Your over-all niche is a bit broad as I would have focused on the 3 sub-niches separately. That's not to say you shouldn't do it, just my opinion. That said, maybe financial freedom is your primary niche and the three sub-niches fit nicely under that umbrella.
As for your photography, if you're planning to sell your images then that's a separate site/niche altogether. There are many gallery plugins as well as themes designed for photographers you might want to look into.
I can't speak to your product as I'm not sure what it is. Can you elaborate?

Any time. I used to travel the country seeing my photography at various art shows.
Wow! that's great. I don't think mine is art show worthy:-)
I just take them for fun. Yes there are some sites I have looked to selling just for people who need to download. None has really generated any income:-) Ok, I'll keep looking....

Welcome! I think the initial content comes around lesson 7. There you will need to write your first post for your site. So get the site built and all setup how Kyle lays it out and worry about the next steps when you get there. Its is very easy to over think things or try and move faster than you should, so just keep pace.

Hi Members ,my site is not arranged well , i selected the top navigation but on the layout the title i.e Kyles Basket balls and Drills is on the same row with the custom menus as opposed to the title being on top and the custom menus below.
I also have stuff like Uncategorized and i dont understand .

Hi Florence,
Your title positioning is determined by your theme. Have a look at your options for Customising your theme and see what you can do.
If still unsure, post a screenshot so we can see what you mean.
Regarding Uncategorized, that's a default category. You can add whatever category you want and you choose your desired category each time you publish a new post. To customise your categories, scroll over Posts.
Let us know if you still have any difficulties.
Good luck!

hello. i just wanted to know that once i pick an interest or a product i would like to sell how do i acquire it and how do i sell it. do i need to have stock of the items. i am totally new and don't understand the acquisition part of this. i understand the 4 steps no problem nut the actual product and obtaining it and selling it is what i don't get, any help would be greatly appreciated, jurgen

It depends on what the product is and how you set it up. If you use an affiliate program (like Amazon, for example), there is nothing to stock; they handle everything. On the other hand, some people choose to purchase product, store it themselves, and sell it that way. I't totally up to you.

thankyou. i definitely do not have room for storage at all lol. i'm having trouble picking a niche as there are so many different products out there and choosing one that sells well is hard. i know the health and nutrition market is growing rapidly and was going to maybe start there. i still have no idea. i guess things will become clearer as i watch through the training videos. i have little to no cash so i have to settle for the free membership for now. thanks again, jurgen

I am at the point where I am going to add my site content and privacy policy. But I have gone back into the WordPress control panel and I looked in the 'PAGES' section and I now have a list of pages which apparently were updated 3 hours ago??? Is this correct? I thought that everything was deleted from POSTS and PAGES and that I then build the site back up again with my own content. There is nothing on the front end, I am just feeling confused about this hence my question.

Some themes and some plugins define pages. They may be demo pages or functional ones such as a contact page created my a form or mail plugin, etc. what are the titles of these pages?

Yes it is a demo/free one called. Ad Mag Lite. I think I've followed all the instructions completely but my first post is not on the homepage as a 'post' either and the PRIVACY that I have set up has not appeared as a PAGE at the top next to the HOME. So, feeling a bit disheartened right now and not really sure what to do now?

Hiya you have to delete them yourself, WordPress installs a couple of sample pages and some themes will also install pages, most themes now install a privacy page as standard so you can edit that one the same way Kyle did in the video or use WA's template, you just have to manually delete the pages you don't want by selecting it and clicking 'Trash' at the top of your pages or poss lists. I hope this helps :)

It's not likely that you will earn money within the first month if you don't already know what you're doing and if you don't already have a product to sell.
That is not to say that it's impossible, but I see some people start making money after about 3 months, more people after 6 months and most people within a year.
As you have read... This is not a get rich quick scam. Wealthy affiliate will show you how to make money online. You will have to take the time to learn and practice.

Thank you for the reply, and for the timeline, it's nice to have. I do have some rather large goals for what I want to do, but right night money is tight, really tight, and am just looking to cover premium membership. But I am someone who is literally starting for scratch and have little to no knowledge, so I wasn't expecting a lot. With the 1 year time frame utilizing what WA teaches, do you think it would be possible to earn at least enough to self sustain? Or would I be looking at a 2 to 3 year timeline? I know nothing is guaranteed, I'm hopeful for maybe an average.

Wordpress 5.0.3 is an available update. I have not updated to the 5.0 and was wondering if I should do that and then download the old plugin? I have heard some not so good things about Gutenberg and I am hesitant to do the upgrade.
I have enough to deal with at present seeing that I am not a tech wizard.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Wayne
PS. Help from the community would be great but, please don't be tooo technical. I like simple :)

Hi Wayne,
Yes, you should update your Wordpress (always!) than install the old Classic Editor to avoid using Gutenberg.
See these The Gutenberg editor - Definitive guide Gutenberg or Classic Editor? You CAN Have Both

I would go ahead and upgrade. Give Gutenberg a try, and if you don't like it, you can always install the "classic" editor plugin and go back to what you have now.
For people that are experienced with the classic setup, Gutenberg is a bit of a departure from what they're comfortable with and so many don't like it. But in many ways it's actually easier to use once you get the hang of it. It's certainly a much more visual way of creating posts. Who knows? If you like things simple, you may actually like it better, so it's at least worth checking out. :-)

OK... will upgrade. If there is a problem, well, I can always download the old one. Who knows... I might just like it and all the sweat will have been for nothing.
Thanks for taking the time to answer my question. I will look at those links as well.

This is for the new people.I wrote a blog post about overwhelm.WA may seem like a lot but it's really not.It seems like a lot because, like me, maybe you never really were with an online company that offered real training and education like WA.See,most online companies really don't want newbie people to join them.That would mean they would have to train,educate, supply customer service,build you websites, give you hosting and everything.They just want to supply the product and that's it.If you don't know this, you will get frustrated and quit and move on to something else.And moving on becomes a cycle.This is where shinny object syndrome sets in.In this cycle you are looking for help because you really don't know how or where to find it....
But thank God (universe ) for This company,Wealthy Affiliate.To all the new people,and seasoned. STAY RIGHT HERE ! I'm only 2 years in online marketing, I'm not a know it all,but I lost over $60,000.00. in this space I now know what to look for in a company and sometimes losing can be a lesson in winning.So Raquel 14 and others, it's a lot. Just follow along in bit size little pieces.Example : I hate 1 hour long training videos.So i'll break it down into 2 , 30 min. videos, watching one half first.Then go Blog or something.Then I'll come back and watch the second half.How ever you do it just do it.And engage the way it makes you comfortable in the process.This your business people.Build it at your speed.At the end of the day you'll be proud and we will be proud of.....PEACE

"Sometimes losing can be a lesson in winning."
I could not agree more! One thing that I think many people don't realize is that successful people literally fail their way to the top.
I tell my team all the time, "There are only two reasons I'm more quote-unquote more successful than you are... I've simply been doing it longer, and more importantly, I have screwed up more crap that you." lol
As you pointed out, you just spent $60k getting an education. One that I'm betting will serve you much better in the long run than that same amount I spent in college earning essentially a worthless piece of paper. That kind of experience is priceless if you can see the positive in it and use it to your advantage.
Thanks for your post. I think new members will find it extremely helpful. :-)

Working on building my site not sure if there is do’s and don’t when it comes to niche maybe I didn’t understand the video but to me it seemed that a niche is something that someone just googled any help on this so I can understand better.

Hello and welcome to Wealthy Affiliate.
A niche is something that you might be passionate about or knowledgeable about.
It might be a hobby or even something you would like to learn more about.
You will want to choose something that will allow you to write content on consistently without getting bored or running out of things to write about.
I hope this helps😊
Wishing you the best in all you do

As far as I can tell a niche is basically a product that you choose to sell or advertise for a client like amazon.
what is the best way to source the product that you want to sell. setting up a website is one thing but how do you get things at good price that you are able to sell it back. I am not sure what this site going to do for me . am I showing the product of other companies with the site? I feel so lost at this point

Just follow the lessons step-by-step. That is all addressed in the training program. There are hundreds of thousands of affiliate programs out there and millions of products.
Building a website and attracting a steady stream of traffic is the hard part; finding products and services to sell is easy after that.

JUST A QUICK TIP FOR CREATING POSTS WITHIN SITE CONTENT (e.g. Template for the "About Me" exercise):
I'm not sure if this happened to anyone else, but I found myself losing some information while working from within the template. For some reason or another, I exited from the template page. When I went back in and clicked on the latest version, not everything I had typed (from the past 10-15 minutes) was there. The "autosave" function may not be saving as often as people may expect, so I HIGHLY RECOMMEND WRITING YOUR TEXT WITHIN A WORD DOCUMENT FIRST, and when you are done, SAVE A COPY and then you can COPY/PASTE INTO THE SITECONTENT template. There may be some formatting differences when you paste it in, but at least you know that there is a backup for your post content. Hope this helps, thanks everyone!

I didn't lose anything but, I did experience some major lag with it and some funky glitches.
I also noticed the same thing on my other work platforms within certain applications.
Then I saw I needed to update my Google Chrome today (I saw it earlier but, spaced it--as I do at times)
Since the update, I did this morning, things seem to be back on a smooth track.
I'm not assuming you are on Chrome but, I was even talking about something similar with another WA tribe member earlier. Oft time when I get stuck or, everything feels like I'm walking in glue (ha, that was how writing in SContent felt last week) I usually usually discover that I forgot to do a regular maintenance on the core.
