Target Audiences for Wealthy Affiliate
When you sit down and think about all the people in the world that would like to make more money, you could pretty much include just about everyone.
Every person from every little corner of the population could use extra cash and that is really the target audience. So in essence, your target audience consists of the close to 7 BILLION people that live this world, 5 BILLION of them have high speed internet and would love to have access to a platform like Wealthy Affiliate.
That is a pretty MASSIVE target audience, so within this tutorial I am going to give you a hand with some more targeted examples of audiences and show you exactly how to break them down.
Pretty big and pretty broad right? That was intended to prove the scale of the market that you can promote to, and within this section we are going to explain smaller more niche target audiences and also let you in on some ways in which you can research and market to these audiences.

In the next section, we are going to elaborate on a few of these so you can get a better idea of how to research and find keywords within them, and and how to effectively set up campaigns targeting them.
Just started my journey at WA, right now getting trained at Affiliate Bootcamp, now while finding out the target audience and keywords, there are some keywords which have very few searches ie.<50 but google shows millions of results for them in a google search.
How can I find a keyword with very few google search results ??

These results are based on a general keyword and related keywords that are used by countless people to find what they want.
Your ideal keyword would be one with over a 100 searches per month but under 50 for the QSR.
It may not have many searches but it will be easy to rank with.
You and your site are in this for the long term so the more articles you publish with different keywords the more your site and articles will appear in the search results.
Have a great Sunday.

The definition you requested is in the 1st screen print below.
You don't HAVE to be active on Facebook. However it can be another source of quality traffic to your website. It is best to create a Facebook PAGE so that you won't have to use your personal FB page thus you won't pester your FB friends.
When you are ready to take that step, there are loads of great tutorials offered on Facebook Fan pages right on WA. See the 2nd screen print below to see how you can access them.
Hope this helps you.
I've already wasted 2 of my searches trying to maneuver my way around that page. If I VIEW RESULTS will I lose another search? What is QSR, KQI and SEO? Also, how do you know if a Keyword has low competition?
I'm reading, listening and taking notes and didn't get that. Sorry! Guess I need to redo this section after a break and then maybe I can answer my own questions.
so you are starting to move away from just one affiliate program.
dependant on how you are promoting wa, does depend on how your site will sound.
if you are posting about wordpress there is lots of differeent areas to create articles about.
if you are talking about mmo then again there are lots of areas.
what you need to do is to go back and write down the different areas within the main topic and then create 15 titles of articles and see if they match what direction you are going in.
good luck Sean

You would have to really edit them to make them your own though.
There are also lots of Article sites you could go to for inspiration and again edit any article that would suit.
Here's one that has a lot of categories so you're sure to find something.

Utilise social hangouts relevant to target audience.
And also this.... leverage the keywords to promote WA.
No3..through google adwords, bingads com (pay per click promotion) ...those it mean that one can get paid once they click the promotion or what and how do they pay.
utilising social hangouts relevant to target audiences means you go where ever your target audience are. For example, lets say your target audience are retirees then you would find social media sites, community programs, instragram pages fb pages and any websites catering to retirees etc etc. That is where you want to promote yourself to get the best responses. It will be covered more later but for example, if you advertise with fb you will use specific parameters (ie age 65 - 85) to help narrow in on your specific group.
Leveraging the keywords to promote WA is simply using the key word(s) over and over in your articles, blogs, advertisement etc to drive referrals back to WA. You want to make sure that when someone googles those words (as in the eg) your business eventually becomes one of the top sites that pops up--your goal is to be on pg 1 not pg 1798.
Pay per click is just that every time someone click on your advertisement you will get paid. I believe the amount and how to set it up will be covered a little later in the boot camp.
Hope this helps. :)
