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 THIS VIDEO HERE: Keyword Mastery - Keywords are the Foundation of Your Success
Task 1: Create a FREE Jaaxy Account
To perform keyword research, you need access to a keyword tool. The one that we recommend here is Jaaxy and it is completely free to register your account.
===> Register for a FREE Jaaxy Account!
Simply fill out your First Name, Last Name, Email Address and Password fields and you will gain instant access to 30 free keyword searches using Jaaxy.
Jaaxy.com is the most powerful keyword & research platform online and delivers accurate, real time data that is going to help you come up with SEO ready keywords. Jaaxy is also a company that Carson and I own and founded and was built to fill the many missing gaps of every other keyword tool out there.
Going forward, Jaaxy is going to provide you with sophisticated keyword and research data (and will save you a TON of time).
Again, this gives you access the trial membership, no credit cards required. I know you will LOVE Jaaxy!
Task 2: Perform 5 different searches using Jaaxy.com
Your next task is going to be performing 5 searches relevant to your niche using the Jaaxy.com Keyword tool.
My suggestion is to start broad with a few of your searches (ie. two or three word searches). For example if your niche was "basketball skills & drills", you might want to start with the search terms:
- basketball drills
- basketball skills
- increase vertical jump
- dribbling drills
- etc
For example, in the example below I searched for the term: increase vertical jump.
Here are how the search results look.
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: We have a Keyword Tool that you get unlimited access to as a Premium member here at Wealthy Affiliate. This pulls from the same keyword search data as Jaaxy and will give you UNLIMITED keyword searches to research keywords for your niche! 100% Included when you upgrade to Premium.

Please tell me if I have this correct: I have my site with siterubix (sitename.siterubix.com). If I want to move to my own domain, I pay whatever the fee is and then that's it? Is it hosted with wealthy affiliates? And I just pay the $13.99 (or whatever the domain happens to cost) each year?
Thanks!

I have a question about the use of keywords and would be grateful for some help please. In the previous lesson it was suggested that we find 5 keywords/phrases for our niche. Do we just choose one of these keywords/phrases for our article or do we use all 5 spread throughout the article? Or are the other 4 keywords/phrases to be used when writing further articles, one at a time?

now that i finished on this lesson, i was thinking my niche won't be as interesting as writing an article about it. So i thought of a different niche. will i still be able to do it, like just edit my niche -make it a bit more targeting i think. i got the 5 top keywords for it , i just need to edit my niche. is it possible though?

Hi,
Yes you can change your niche.
What that means depends on how far along you are in the lessons.
Can you be more specific?
For example, if you still have siterubix in your domain name then you can change it by buying your own domain name.
If you site is very new and you want to start over you can delete it by clicking the blue SiteRubix button on the left then click SiteManager. Then just make a new site from the beginning.

thanks for the reply..
i just really need to add another word on my niche, is that possible? i dont want to delete my niche. unless necessary, just need to twitch it a little bit .
my site is still very new, no blogs or content as i am on Course 1 just finished lesson 7. but, does deleting it even i built it through "On a domain i own" it wouldnt cost me, would it?
registering a domain is the one that costs monthly, or perhaps im wrong :)
cheers

Hi,
I am not suggesting to delete anything if that's not what you want.
I am still trying to figure out exactly what you mean though.
A "niche" is just a concept. Changing it is as easy as changing your mind.
What is it exactly that you are wanting to change? The website address?

it sounds like you want to change the name of your siterubix site, if you move to an own domain that will cost
you can stay with the free sites, the name is not important or if you really want a different name then create a second free site, someone told you to go up to a domain but that is not correct

Kyle suggests that you "Post" rather than "Page" your "About Me" page so that you can receive comments.
Personally, I don't really want to receive comments on my "About Me" page - I'd rather have comments on the articles that I will be posting.
Does anyone have any experience or thoughts on whether allowing comments on your "About Me" page is a positive or negative way to go? Thanks in advance.

Actually have gotten a lot of comments on my 'about me' post. It's an entry page where others can get to know you. It's pretty important imho.
It's very important to do things the way Kyle has instructed...he and Carson are the experts here and following their seasoned advice just paves the way for your business...period!

Hey, I've been working on my article for a while and I've been saving frequently. However, when I tried to look for the revisions sections that are mentioned in the video, I couldn't find it. Am I looking in the wrong place? It should be in the bottom right hand section of the site content editor....
Hey there, just started... looking to check the "understand membership options" box to go to the next training, but really it only explains the premium option (everything and everybody really pushing that for their commissions) I'm just trying to figure out what is possible with the starter version to start. It says you can have two websites- does that mean web hosting for two sites or do you have to find that separate also (assuming you have to purchase domain names - but that wasn't really explained either - Later training perhaps?) Just trying to take one thing at a time and get a sense for what my expected costs will be using this system vs. compiling something another way. I'm looking for more of a nuts and bolts rundown and I'm thinking I might benefit more from more research than I would from paying monthly at the beginning. Thoughts?

Perhaps the following tutorials may help answer your questions: Not Quite Ready For Premium Membership? Starter Membership - Day 8 Onwards
My understanding is you can take as long as you need to learn these basics. Upgrade only if it becomes profitable to do so. Push for the 7 days is just for the first month discount...but you can upgrade to Premium any time it's beneficial for you to do so.

Can you give examples of what things you feel are not explained well or what exactly you need help with?
Thanks for the link. I'm having questions more related to individual features of the options that are offered, for instance it says as a beginner I will have access to 12 wordpress themes. Are these themes the kind that will convert to viewing on a mobile phone? (theres a name for that but I forget it) Or in the rush to "just get started" will I pick and be stuck with a website and theme that later I wish I hadn't? Are certain themes better for certain types of things such as selling services vs. selling products? Does the premium membership offer the full gamut of wordpress themes or are some of them restricted due to being incompatible with siterubix or some such? If there is a theme I like on wordpress, is there a way I can use it anyway? It was mentioned in one of the videos that "I'll probably want my own domain" Why is that? What are the advantages of that over the websites available here? And why then should I opt in to something less optimal from the start? (thinking later I wish I had chosen to have my own domain instead) for some things I seek more definitive stats, for others the info provided doesn't quite seem to add up.

You are a lot like me. But I think you are getting ahead of yourself. All your questions will be answered in the training but I will tell you that yes, the themes are mobile friendly and you can start with the siterubix domain and then purchase a domain at a later time. You can keep the siterubix domain but in my opinion, it looks better with just .com or .org. Yes, the premium does offer the full gamut of themes and they are all compatible with siterubix or the domain of your choosing. I'm positive you will find a theme you like because there are thousands available. You can change themes if you don't like them. I hope I answered some of your questions and I wish you the best of luck with your training!
Quite interesting. I'm getting a little bit excited going through each of these lessons.I'm hoping I can learn and retain all the lessons as I go along, and have a thorough understanding of what I'm doing and not just following each step with no idea on why I'm doing it.

I am having a hard time narrowing down my niche.
Options are:
baking (too broad? Baking for beginners perhaps?)
healthy cooking (again too broad? Healthy vegetarian cooking?)
Kid's party planning
running technical gear (clothing, shoes, fitness trackers)
Does anyone have any thoughts? I enjoy all of the above, I just can't decide which path is the best.
Thanks!!!

Hi Corrine, I'm far from an expert, but I would have to agree that baking and healthy cooking are both too broad. I think you are getting closer with "Healthy vegetarian cooking" but that too might even be a bit broad. If I were trying to hone in on that niche, I would probably use something like "Quick and healthy vegetarian casserole recipes" or "Vegetarian breakfast recipes with zucchini"
Good luck!

Hi Corrine, have you put your niche keyword into either "Jaaxy Keyword" tool or "WA Keyword" tool? You can also narrow your keyword in "Google Search" using the "Alphabet Soup" technique.
Examples: bakinga; bakingb; bakingc or runninga, runningb, runningc. Google will show your search suggestions used by other and you can use those results and put into "Jaaxy" or the "WA" keyword tools.
Also start with the one you are most passionate about--this way you will have a lot of content for your blog and review pages.
Once you have determined your best keyword--you can then add the various related "Categories" on your site.
Hope this helps!

Ok so I am super into guitars and my niche idea is to target more seasoned or experienced guitar players. My theory is that the more experienced guitar players usually buy higher price products because they are more invested in that hobby. Anyways, I just want some feedback. Thanks guys!

Since I learned a little more about pages/posts and how to manage them a little I did something on the website I own. I went in and put in a post that said "website under construction". I did this because if I type in the site it came up. I didn't want people to think that if they saw stage 1 and saw it come up again when finished that they would remember the name and not go back. It can be deleted logging onto admin right?

I also have sites covered with an 'under construction' plugin. You can easily visit the plugin and switch it off, and of course you can deactivate it, too. Just a note - I wasn't able to get Google to verify my site for analytics while it was 'under construction'. I had to temporarily switch it off to get through verification.

I have watched this video twice and got the about me & privacy policy in main menu idea. I used a 2 window system, 1 training & 1 doing on my website. I figured that would be the best way for a computer limited person could do it best. My question is about the step right before this video. I've gotten help from site support to get me fixed with lesson 6 and caught up to lesson 7. I didn't find the list with Robots meta NOINDEX and Robots meta NOFOLLOW boxes to check. I wasn't sure it site support might have done that, but I couldn't find a list of those 3 items?.I went ahead with the video understanding what I was doing. I went to my website and refreshed and it didn't look right, so I went back to wordpress screen and everything was put where it was placed, so I figured those 2 boxes didn't get checked?! I really liked this video! It was easy to follow and do, and I felt like I was doing something right so I could keep going! WRONG. could you please give me any idea of what I could do? I would sure appreciate it! Thanks a bunch!

I'm curious about rule #3, why must the key word make grammatical sense? I assume the reason a keyword is presented in a non-gramatical sequence is people performing searches perform that exact search and it would seem beneficial to match that, yet im sure there are solid reasons not to, so I'm way curios..

Hi Grinche,
As you know if it don't make grammatical sense Google won't be happy.
Imagine all the nets 'listings't being 'gobble-dee'gook' titles! I'd imagine to find something 'extremely' specific being very difficult.
Alas, I guess it is just 'best practices'.
I noticed too that ill grammared queries are putt into Google all the time and its a shame we can't steall them, those that do, I'd imagine don't rank well for that post or website name.
Otherwise, I don't know or recall.
Hope this helps.

Excellent training so far. Quick question some initial feedback on 2 niche ideas.
One dealing with herbal remedies and one on outdoor activity. In the past 5 years or so we have taken up day hikes in various parts of Canada. Loving it. My wife and I are closer to 60 than 29 and so 1 possibility for a niche might be "Hiking Over 50".
Additionally, for over a decade or so I have been fascinated by the power of plants for health/healing and have actively researched this topic. I am a huge advocate for preventative health rather than disease treatment and as such have been making tinctures, herbal pills, detoxes, etc that my wife and I---and numerous others are using with great results. (Haven't personally seen a doctor in over 15 years and want to keep it that way:) Do another niche idea might be "Healing with Herbs" , "Natural Home Health Remedies", "Making Herbal Tinctures" etc. I see potential to monetize these ideas as products in both categories are quite numerous.
Any feedback-thots on this. Again loving the site/tools/info so far.

think about how you might monetize either of those niches, what affiliate programs are available to you, what your competition looks like
I'm familiar with the herbs and natural healing, the way I see it is we are not shooting fish in the same barrel, it's about making the barrel much bigger and creating a wider pool, reaching out to your audience with your voice...there are many herbal programs out there, big issues with sourcing good quality herbs though, and always a need to make people feel comfortable to use herbs
a couple of affiliate programs to look at are The School of Natural Healing, [master herbalism, western herbalism tradition, good commission on their training], iherb.com [good commission on herbs and supplements], etc But Canada has its own vast supply of excellent herbs which perhaps you could find programs in those too?

Can someone please explain for me "Themes" I chose a particular theme that was one of the few which related or that I could identify with my niche - I opted for this particular theme, however when going through the video instructions, which are well versed and with good clarity, it soon became apparent that some of the instructions to follow did not coincide or collaborate with the theme i chose.
I'am trying to use theme 27 and incorporate the relevant menu as well as editing some of the pictorial contend and uploading those of relevance to what i 'am offering.
is there another set of instructions that may be appropriate or am I having to revert to an altogether different theme ??

all themes are different, you could experiment using the free sites to find a theme that suits
was there another name to that theme or was the number the name?
sometimes you can ask members in here through your pen icon top right [ask a question in there more people may see it] ask if someone is using x theme, or go on youtube to see if you can get someone doing a video on it

You may use your premium theme on your wordpress site. Once you have the theme, go to appearance>themes>add new theme>upload theme. That would allow you to install the theme that you purchased.

I know I've got a lot of help lately from site support and I've really appreciated it! I watched the video,did as you said in the video. (I had 2 windows open because I knew that would be easiest for me!) My ? is that the step before this video of checking the boxes Robots Meta NOINDEX and Robots Meta NOFOLLOW, I never found them to check. I followed along to set up the menus like on the video. I refreshed, but didn't get any results> I'm computer limited which is why I do 2 windows on videos so I can do it as Kyle explains it. Can I guess that not finding those 2 boxes above is what went wrong? Please help with any suggestions. I would really like to keep my site building going.

Hi, quick question (I hope). So, I went through and created my 'About Me' section and 'Privacy Policy' page. I set the 'About Me' as a post, and 'Privacy Policy' as a page as instructed. However, when I view my website, the 'About Me' page has no comment section at the bottom, but the 'Privacy Policy' page does.
Anyone know how this has happened and how I can fix this?

The Privacy Policy which was created as a page, already had comments turned on for some reason, so I've turned them off. That solved that problem. Thanks for the video link!

posts go into the blogroll (home) and pages will go into a menu bar. Each page or post has the option of turning comments on or off in the editing mode (where you create it). Just have to scroll way down. I chose to put my About Me as a page, so it's in my menu bar. My Posts are in my blog roll on Home page, so that's where I put all my new articles. I set up my pages first, loaded them with content. Once I was done that, I started writing posts or articles in the blog roll (home). You can check out my website to see how I did it if you like. On my Profile, lower right hand corner, are all my URLs. Good luck :)

yes, don't rush, as you'd have to change the domain name if you didn't like it
you can use the two free sites though and transfer the content from them when you are ready
the tagline itself can be changed, but that isn't the domain name, that is simply settings>general

Hey everyone so i just finished the SEO settings part and when i search my website which is to do with Electronics it comes up with - "My Website Name / Mens Apparel" and "My Website Name / Womens Apparel". Both of these pages have nothing to do with my site and i cleared all the dummy pages, I can't explain it. What should i do?

I'm thinking of doing a travel tips for solo travelers niche, but also tied with some sub niches, such as a portfolio/blog of my experiences abroad, hints tips etc.
As for affiliates, I'm hoping for TripAdvisor, SkyScanner, booking.com and possibly amazon for travel essentials.
What's people's thoughts? This is new for me!

You could do that I wpuld go through the training and then use the keyword tool or jaxxy. Look up keywords you could use throughout your content. That sounds like a really interesting nice. One thing I hsve lesrned is sometimes a niche can be broad example like travel that is broad so l. From what I can tell you have narrowed the niche some so I think it would work for you. Go through the training learn more. If you need more help always asks question I believe in every question is a good one even if it is a simple one. I hope the best for you and hope you achieve your goals.

Hello all, is it recommended to create the content step by step (I create a page or a post and afterwards I publish it on my site) even if the site could look incomplete? Or is better first to create most of the templates and publish them in one run? I know my question is basic but it would be helpful to find an answer, as it will help me to organise my content. Many thanks!
Oana.

Me the first things I did when following the first some steps on gettinf my site set up is. To get your privacy policy and about me templates full those out. Then when those are done you start making posts about the niche you are in. Examples like reviews of a product or talk about a certain topic, thst you can talk about organically. Something you love talking about and, just keep posting and making quality content. I really do hope this helps you and I hppe you achieve your foals here in WA.
This was a question for me too. I don't want to post something unfinished and your system is a good way of making sure that all of the information is there. You can then just build on the depth of it. Thanks @MatthewLS

Then you can put your content in as posts. You should be on your way. If you ever get stuck either go back through some of the training. Or just ask a question nothing is wrong with it I do it if I need. Hope the besr for you

yes, it is the page/post that will rank, not your site - so you build your content - also it could take time to rank when you are new so that gives you time to write more content and work on your site
better to publish consistently that all in one run when it is affiliate marketing...

How do I get to the table with blue boxes where the lessons and levels are found? When I wanna review one lesson for better understanding that was very helpful. Without that table, I have to scroll down every lesson and click Next Lesson until I get to the lesson I wanted to retake.

Ho do I create a different profile; and paste a picture to it? My experience is small on computers. Much broader than when I started. I know this is late in asking . Also,thanks for enlightening us on niches.Glad we can get help with it. I am going to keep trying to get this no matter what. Sure wish I had more experience with computers. Also wish my imagination would kick in . My days of things of dreaming seem so long ago.
I am not getting it: In the video you say that Jaaxy as free member gives you the results of 30 keywords, actually I can see no more than 10 as the box for the pay upgradeis option is stuck right in the middle of it hiding all the rest of results..(form the 10th-11th there also are blurred? Also there any colour options in the KQI coloumn..

it does only go as far as 10, I had wondered about that myself but that is the way it is
they upgraded jaaxy recently and changed the way it looks, so what you see is what you get there now

Quick question about domain names (i will be using FB traffic)- gonna focus on the small business loan niche / small business cash advance / merchant cash advance- 17 million small businesses...and some how get them interested in WA's opportunity. I thought that'd be good since I know a good bit about the industry as well. My question is what should I name the website? smallbizloans____.com what would I put in the blank? or am I not approaching this correctly. thanks so much- Ed

I wouldn't spend too much time trying to come up with the perfect domain name, although having an attractive domain is good. The content for your website is what will attract visitors/customers/traffic to your website in the long run.

Do you guys reckon a hybrid site with the onus upon actually finding good deals on the product's my niche involves would be a good ideas??
So basically being clear that I am driving custom to links etc rather than simply having them about my site for people to happen upon.
I'd also include some product reviews, niche specific reports, tips, news and experiences.

i really enjoyed the concept it makes perfect sense very interesting , well if i understood right you said when choosing the key words you base your choices on a good theme or tittle, also on the QSR and the AVG , Now after choosing the key words where do you put them so they can work for you , do you include them in your text on the actual website as part of your bio or do enter it somewhere as a search trigger as you are

Both tools are good. The advantage I see with Jaaxy over the included WA keyword tool is that you will be able to see the SEO percentage and the likelihood of your post / page being on the first 2-3 or so pages in google.
I am very happy using Jaaxy just as the other one! Quite worth the money.

Please tell me, what is the advantage of paying for Jaxxy over the Keyword tool that is included with WA? Also, I heard that a few months ago, Google changed the algorithms for keyword searches and that old keyword search sites are no longer valid. Does anyone understand that? @Kyle?

I have the idea of footwear for beginner runners as my niche. Should I work to narrow this down even more? I am a runner myself and work in the footwear department ina sporting goods store, so I am constantly around running shoes and various brands/models like UA, Nike, New Balance and more. I have a lot of product knowledge as well and can give suggestions on shoes based on customer desires.

Hello all, If I correctly understand, even if I activated te All in one SEO and I defined the title and description, as long as I don't have any content I won't find my site in Google. I tried to input the exact name and I don't find it in Google. Is this normal? Anyway I will learn in the next course how to create content:) Thank you.

Bnyumba is on lesson 7 and I am starting 8. We seem to share the same feelings. Looks difficult but we will get through it. I finally figured out a niche. Now I've decided to change it. I guess this happens all the time. I'll prob go back to the other one at a later time. More research to do on that one.

I've been in a beauty industry for the past 7 years as a hairstylist and a nail technician. I am passionate with my job.. but i don't see any progress I'm busy making thousands for other people who employ me. I've tried to mix myself with people who are grown financially, mentally and physically thinking that I'll see progress but everything stuck in one place. But i thank God for giving me wisdom i have within me i know its going to take me to the next level. I've created a Facebook page *HAIRVENS DESIGN SALON* to advertise my business it has many likes already even though i haven't started opening a salon. The only thing I'm shorting of its a capital to start my own salon and I'm going to emply youth to work with me. Teach them everything. About hair. The first main branch I'm going to open is going to open 10 branches. That's how i planned my own thing. I have a believe that I'm going to get help here.
Ive been in the beauty industry for 20+ years as a hairstylist/colorist, make makeup/skincare and hair extentionest. Although I know quite a lot in those fields continous education is a must. Because of those facts Im going with hair extensions tape in, and clip in to be precise. I want a niche in this industry because hair and makeup are my passion.
Hi Everyone!
I'm new and just started the training for this program. I'm extremely excited about this opportunity but I'm stuck with finding a niche. I know its suppose to be something that we would enjoy or have experience with but I'm still stuck. I've had a blog previously that was focused on lifestyle with a little bit of everything. I'm just trying to figure this program out and see if I can really make money doing this! Is there any where I can find other peoples success stories?
Thanks!

@baileyguzman I would do a search in the search bar for the success stories of others. I tried to copy a link for you, but I wasn't able to.
I am quite slow at learning sometimes, so this might be a no brainer question. At what point do I have to pay? I see the $19 premium advert at top, but they haven't asked/demanded money yet. Or are the two websites really free? Can this be real? Am I doing all this work for nothing?

you pay when you think you are ready to commit to the training
they won't demand money - they did not take your credit card details, they just gave you two free sites and some training so you can see if you would like to pursue it
yes those two sites are really free and they are fully functional wordpress sites, they are better than the free ones you'd get at wordpress .org because there are no ads with them, and you can get real traffic to those sites too, eg look on DomW's profile
the work is not wasted, if you think you'd like to go up a level to an own domain website and build a business at some point then they can convert over to own domain very easily, the platform is set up for that
One thing you will lose after your first week is 'write access' the ability to ask questions and write here is a Premium membership feature, but you can still access the platform

Can I ask someones opinion? I'd like to base my niche around gaming. Is that too broad? I've broken it down between software (the games themselves) and hardware (systems and consoles, gaming accessories, etc.) I believe I would benefit most from gaming accessories and just basing my niche around gaming hardware would be fine with me.

I reckon you are looking a bit too broad covering all gaming.
You are looking from vr to consoles.
To start i would select the type of games you like to play along with the hardware required and write about that.
Expand on this when you have exhausted the subject.
Good luck with your online journey

I have two 6-month-long training programs with written materials. These programs take place via telephone (or Skype) and last for 6 months. I am a life and business coach. One program focusses on: developing awareness of what is holding one back in one's life.
The second program is focussed on relating and communicating effectively in the workplace. The content is geared to elevating awareness of how one sabotages oneself at work and what can be done to be more effective.
There are rich exercises to engage with in each program and two 50-minute personal coaching sessions with me each month. I am also reachable via email.
My niche is Coaching. Does this sound feasible in the context of Wealthy Affiliate?

I'm familiar with this niche. So really you have your own products, do you see it as a membership site?
Yes, WA can accommodate that, they will focus on getting your site to rank to get traffic, optimized for SEO, the SSL certs mean you can use woocommerce or do membership site options, use the search bar for woocommerce training, one member chrisscott is currently in the process of doing up a free training on membership sites
ultimately it is about getting the traffic and that is what WA are about

you do have two free websites right now, it seems like a lot of new info and very overwhelming but it will get much easier
you have plenty of time to practice with your free sites, do all the Level 1 training, there are two courses, that is plenty of material for you to see if you like it and want to take it further
there are no extras to pay down the road - there is just two memberships, the free one [Starter], and the paid one [Premium] and take a look at the price of Premium, right now monthly it is $49 but that comes down to $29 per month if someone pays yearly membership in one go.
the membership includes hosting, the only extra you may need is around $14 for an own domain if you want
the platform has a free keyword tool, and there are free plugins to capture email - this platform likes to show people how to do stuff for free until their sites are paying for themselves and then they can invest if they choose
and yes, some people are in here for free because if you introduce someone else to the platform you get commission on that

For me I chose a niche that I knew a lot about but not everything so I knew I would have a lot of research to do on it. Make suer your choosing something that will be fun for you to do the search on. Also go to the keyword tool and just start putting keywords in. Once you find some that you l like and have low competition, thats when you build your content around it.
