To dream big you have to start small.

The first thing you need to do is find your niche.

Let me explain, a niche is a corner of the market, so if you were in the furniture market your niche could be chairs.

When starting out focus on a very small segment. Don't overdo this part. In order to be successful you start with baby steps and once you get the hang of it then you can walk and later, run.

How do you find your niche?

Just think about the things you enjoy, what do you search for on the internet? Find areas that interest you and that you would talk to your friends about. It could also be a hobby you have or a club you belong to.

If you love helping people this is a great place to be.

Whatever you choose it needs to be something that in three weeks time you will not be bored with. Because you will be doing this for a long time to build a website/s that will give you freedom and financial security.

How do I create a great website?

Look at all the websites that attract you. Take a screenshot or better still print out that website. Once you have a few in front of you think of how you would like your site to look like.

Sketch it out on a piece of paper. Then go through the themes that WordPress offers and see which one closely matches your vision and install it.

Go ahead and create your website...

Magnificent training Michael. I give it 10 out of 10. There were a couple things I need to accomplish yet. I tried to start out the year like a bullette; but I'm afraid I'm back to turtle. But turtles get there eventually too. Right??

Turtles always get there, they just need a bit of TLC.

I need some TLC. If you read my post Has it been 6 months already, I am going on a leave of absence starting Wednesday the 8th. I will still check my PM though. I will miss everyone; but it is what I feel I need right now.

Crying loudly and throwing a tantrum :(

I haven't read that post yet, but I have seen it in my list...

What am I going to do without my little bullette? :(

It's only for a week or maybe two. I will be back. My addiction has too much control. I need to do some detoxing. I'm going to be doing a lot of changing, evaluating and goal setting. I will miss you though. Who will call me their little Bullette? I will check PM's every couple days. It will go fast and we will survive. :). What do you think of my new profile picture? Are you crying again?

I'll hound you with PM's when I get 'Jeannie' withdrawal symptoms lol

Love the new pic!

I'm now down to a few gut wrenching sobs with the odd tear drop every now and then...sniff sniff...followed by...a loud nose blow in my handkerchief...or was that snort snort from my little bullette echoing from my laptop ? lol

Steve, I think that was me snorting. It's a Bullette habit. Sorry. Glad you are not crying so much now. :) I will miss all my WA family. :)

We'll be lost without you. Steve's already walking around in circles because he's lost without you, I try and cheer him up, perhaps some sparkling grape juice?
Reply

Yes Mike the sparkling grape juice should help Steve. He's already stopped crying. I think he's adjusting. It was the shock I think. Lol. You two are the greatest. I know you will survive without me. XoXoXo

Awesome! You really put some great knowledge and hard work together here to prepare this. It also sparked something in my brain for a new niche to research on. Thank you very much!

What are you an important or main method that you use to get trust from an audience?
Reply

Just be yourself and tell the truth about everything you do. That is how you gain an audience's trust.

This is a great tutorial to allow the "newbie" to gain some confidence by first wading into the pool rather than diving in and finding themselves in the deep end.

Fantastic work Michael!
