I have had a site called Disabled Your Own Internet Biz since 2014 and it does quite well.

Its always best to go with something you have experience and or knowledge of.

That way you can write articles with authority and people will come to know that you do and return to the site they KNOW they will get good advice.

Go with what you know Kev and you wont go far wrong.
Robert

Thanks Robert!

Happy to help when I can

The narrower your niche is the better you will be able to target a market like a laser.The financial market covers a lot of ground. I suggest picking one or two areas and focus on that first.

Thank you Edwun for your feedback. I will need to think more.

Yes, you are getting it.

Perhaps this training will help you to understand.

Keep in mind that it is a bit old and the WA Keyword tool was used and has now been replaced by Jaaxy but the concepts are the same. How to Write an Article

Ahhh ok, maybe that's why the view result for QSR was so low for popular searches. Thank you. I will check out the training you shared with me. Thank you so much.

First of all, that is actually quite a broad search term. "Can I afford to stay at home" could be interpreted a million different ways and apply to a million different people.

Think more about your niche specifically. For instance, the keyword "how can I afford to be a stay at home mom" has good numbers and would make a great article title as well.

The best way to learn your way around Jaaxy is really just to get in there and play with it. Try different word combinations, and make sure you also look at the related results; it is very common to find other keywords you weren't even thinking about at the time. That's the real power of Jaaxy.

As far as the millions of Google results, just ignore it. Rather than go into details again here, I wrote a post about this very thing: How Much Competition Do You REALLY Have? Hope this helps :-)

Hi AJ,

Lovely to receive a response from you. Thank you for your article. 10 is a much better number.

Jaxxy is for finding keywords on what to write about for blog articles. Google to see what top 10 competitors have on their website so that I can beat.

The question I have now is when you say think more about your niche specifically. I am not sure what you mean. This is where I get stuck. So can you give me an example please?

Sure...

So, based on your bio and your niche, I am assuming that you are a stay at home mom yourself; or, at least you hope to be.

And I also assume that at some point you were searching for this kind of information when you came across Wealthy Affiliate.

So, given that, think about the types of things you typed into Google when you were looking. "how to be a stay at home mom", "how can I work from home", "what types of jobs are available for stay at home moms", whatever. That'll give you a good start.

Next, if I were you, I would go into Jaaxy and just start with the broadest term: stay at home mom. Run it and start making a list of all the different terms that come up with good numbers that also make grammatical sense (i.e. they are something someone would actually say, not just a string of random words; remember, you are looking to use this phrase in an article title.)

Then find one you like and click on it to do another search. You will get another long list. And so on. Just keep up the process until you have a list of, say, 30-50 good keywords to work with. I call this process The Rabbit Hole. Just keep going down one "hole" after another until you have your target list.

Next, you take those keywords, one at a time, and do a Google search on them. That's where the competition-of-ten idea comes in. Read each one of the top 10 articles and see what you might need to do to knock one of them off of their pedestal.

Then get to writing :-)

Just off the top of my head
Older people who are facing age discrimination in hiring practices or are looking to supplement their social security
Those who don't have many skills or much education.
Students
Those who are looking to supplement their income with a part-time job
Perhaps those with a criminal record.

Got it. Make sense. However - the question what is the benefit of targeting and spending effort on such low potent population? Thanks so much.

I think that any of those mentioned would welcome the opportunity to improve their financial situation and Kyle gives many other examples as well.

The reason you may want to consider targeting these groups of people with informative content is that is what they are searching for online and where people are searching, that is where you want to be.

Also, retirees, students, people looking to supplement their income = huge potential

Young college aged people are a great demographic to target. Nothing is stopping you from doing exactly that :)

That's pretty cool. Is'nt it?

QSR means Quoted Search Results – and that number is the total number of competing websites related to that keyword phrase. The lower the QSR better. Personally I look for keywords that have a QSR of 100 or less with good search volume.

Hope that helps

Thanks, that definitely helps! One follow up question... what would you consider "good search volume"?!

50 searchs per month or more

not at all but I would slant it towards caring for two generations i.e children and parents=

I would try to target a group that you understand.

Most retirees that I know do NOT have all the time in the world in real life.

Many are even busier after they have retired than when they worked.

p.s. When I think back, I had more free time as a college student than I ever had since.

I think you need to pick a niche you understand, either because you are living it or because someone close to you is. College kids don't have as many responsibilities, are busy, but may not have the money to invest. Stay at home parents vary the most I think. Some are very busy, others aren't. Some have money, some don't. Most have good computer skills. Retirees vary, some are busy, some aren't, many have the worry they want to continue to live the financial life they did when they were working full time. Don't try to guess that you understand a certain group. Go with the one you feel most comfortable with.

Your reason has to be more than, “they have all the time in the world.” You have to come from a place of genuine concern for their well being, then you will come across real and not for profit. Remember older wiser folks than yourself can smell bullshit miles off. Other than that if you are sincere you will do just fine.

My take is that if you are giving them fantastic information your age will not be an issue. Just make sure that you give them information that will sort out their possible financial issues. Trust me they will thank you for it. As they say, age is just a number.

Wow! I'm impressed,which by the way is pretty hard to do theses days. My website is called Impress Me! What do you think?

This lesson is talking about promoting WA through the Affiliate Bootcamp. In the WA Bootcamp you're placed in the make money online niche and you build a website to promote WA. This is different from the regular training in the Online Entrepreneur Certification Course where you choose any niche you like and promote products and services relevant to that.

hey eric thanks a lot!

the only problem with that is if you are taking to retirees, you are not talking to the other two niches - so you dilute the effect.
stick with one audience to start with you may find others who join in along the way.
good luck.
phil

Ok Thanks. I think its make it somewhat clearer.

Niket,
When you type a keyword into Google you are ending up with a
search result of all the websites containing that keyword not the websites ranking for the keyword - try it with quotation marks
around the keyword and see what you get ::))
Susan

Thanks for the reply. When I tried entering the same keywords with quotation marks google came up with About 66,300 results

That is a huge difference ::))

Yes it is. According to Kyle, Google doesn't show accurate results which is why the competition is so powerful. One has to manually click to the last page in google to get the correct number.

I think you have the correct plans and will achieve your goals.
I am in the same boat as many boomers, a veteran and living on S.S.A. and a V.A. disability and struggling.
I plan on getting completely debt free and leaving my family in the best shape possible.
I am still trying to get through all the training offered here at WA.
Best of luck to you;
Wayne Miller

You appear to be a part of WA for the right reasons and what you are doing makes sense...I like it!

Katt

Free to be Me ! Wow! That's a GREAT Brand. Very creative. Go for it girl!

Thank you so much. I greatly appreciate the feedback! Much success to you!

I like it!

it's sound really nice as a brand you are in the right direction keep going

Thank you so much!

Thank you for your feedback, I greatly appreciate it!

Great idea, That is the same thing i did. but in hindsight, knowing what i know now, i would have loved to promote something else first. Because what ever i do, i'll always be able to promote WA on the side.

But then, this is just me and my opinion. At the end of the day, what works for me in a particular way, works for another in a different way. you know what i mean?

i wish you all the very best in your endeavors.

There's more than one strategy to do things here. Some people build blogs, others build funnel pages. Personally, I'm much more a fan of blogs. I find funnel pages infuriating and far too "salesy". I never stay on one for more than a few seconds.

Keep in mind that you also don't have to build a blog or funnel just to promote WA. You can do so about just about anything else in the world, and those may convert more easily than joining the other 100,000 WA members currently building sites about making money online.

Do you have any hobbies? What's your passion? I always suggest that you create a site about that first, successfully monetize it using affiliate marketing, then create the WA promotional site when you actually know what you are talking about.

exactly!

I just want to figure out how to get a few of my friends started Jeannine, but I can't figure out how to give them a link so I get credit for their signup.

If you have someone you directly want to join, just give them the link. You can pull that from your account here on WA. You could even just send it in an email.

Yes, one niche per site. You can have sub-niches on the same site that are related to the main niche.

Thank you

if you just promote free books, audio etc people will expect everything to be free - when they find out that you have to pay for wa then they will never return.
possibly a better idea is to have a free lead and then build an email list, market to them with free stuff and build towards the wa offer, so free pdf, info , $7 audio, info, free pdf, $14 video, free pdf, info, wa offer email sequence.
to have just a 3-4 page site, unless you have extremely good long content then it will not appear in google's ranking system.
it is better to build a loyal following rather than trying to convert cold leads every time.
but good luck with your venture.
phil

this is a great tip. but you'll agree with me that building an email list comes with additional cost, can you suggest any free method that one can use for starters and walk his way up to paid platforms like aweber and getresponse?

sam - there is a free plugin to start you off with your list. so there is no additional cost.
it will be slow to send emails, but usable.
once you are making money with you list i would avise upgrading to one of the well known services.
let me know how you get on.
phil

It's generally best to have a SPECIFIC website for a Specific audience looking for a Specific THING.

Hint... at my JOB, we have a relationship with Phillips lights -- I expect you've heard of them -- and they have developed SEVERAL specific audiences that they target for their different products, as well as different ads for specific audiences for the same product.
To me, if they have learned to do it this way, why shouldn't it work for me on my tiny sites?

You mean 3-4 page site is to less or to much ?

the three to four page site is just a funnel.
what you really want to build is a 200+ page authority site.
so really get to know your niche and what their problems are and how to solve them.
that is what you are learning here.
good luck Corina
phil.

i understand , thank you

I am not familiar with the travel industry. All though I have heard this same problem from others, trying to represent the travel industry, my only thought would be to pick one vacation spot and see if that helps. Erin has written about beach vacations. Maybe she would have some ideas. If I were to look up up a given vacation spot, I would want to know about the best restaurants, tourist spots to explore, the best hotel for your money, etc. I hope this helps
Sandy

That certainly gets the brainstorm in motion! Thanks so much for taking the time to help out.

confused.com does not appear confused at all.

Well there are many things that you can promote on any website, your target audience will dictate who your website is helping, but within that website there are many products/services you can promote (of course Wealthy Affiliate being one of them if you go through the bootcamp).

Hi Robert
This will help as it is part of the training Understanding Keywords, The Start of Your Content

Basically, keywords are what surfers will search for to find your web site. Keywords are incorporated into the content on your website, making it more likely to be found.

Vicki provided some more detailed information about keywords, you may want to check it out.

Hope this helps,

mitch

Keywords are used for targeting an audience, and demographic can be a wide range of things from age, location, gender ect. You can use tools like google trends to test keywords or search phrases. Hope this helps a bit.

Hi Robert,

This is how you use keywords:

You find keywords with BOTH of this combination:

AVG > 100
QSR < 50

For me, those are the ideal criteria to look for in any keywords.

So to get that kind of keyword, yes, it's usually a phrase.

You will find as many keywords as you can.

Each post you write will be tackling only ONE of these keywords on your list.

sample "how to train a dog to sit"

Then you will incorporate that phrase in your title, first paragraph, and then once again near the end of your post.

Title: "3 Easy Steps: How To Train A Dog To Sit" - Always add to the title to make it enticing and reason why people should click on YOUR post on their results page.

First paragraph (within first 160 characters):
"When first getting a new puppy, you will want to learn how to train a dog to sit when he or she is 2 - 4 months old.

I have 3 easy steps below that I'm going to go through with you so you can teach your new puppy...."

Body: anything you want.

Last section of post somewhere:

"If you have learned how to train your dog to sit, then please comment below and let me know of your results!" - or something else, anything that will bring that keyword back into your article.

When researching keywords you need to beware of Stop Words like "what is" "how to" and words like "in" "a" "on".

Those words don't really count and if you see another keyword with same AVG but higher QSR and without those stop words, then that keyword is the true QSR.

For example "what is commission junction" and "commission junction" are the similar AVG but the true keyword is "commission junction" which will have a much higher QSR than "what is commission junction".

Sometimes you may also need to be more creative in your keywords if the product name you're promoting does not have any good keywords, you could work around that and think of why a person would need this product.

So instead of using product name keywords, you could also look at keywords like "how to cure...." or "natural remedy for..." whatever your product can do/improve for people, and so that's more keywords you could use.

You have to put yourself into the mindset of the person doing that search and figure out what a person that needs the information you're offering would search for.

Demographics is the people you are talking to in your niche. So some keywords can incorporate that as well like "best cameras for kids".

I hope this helps!
Grace

what is AVG and QSR? What words they stands for?

Those are the metrics to use in Jaaxy, AVG is the average searches for that keyword and QSR is the competition.

I find the QSR and AVG score in Jaaxy is much different from thebones available in Google analytics. Any guesses why?

Google Analytics measures the visitor activity on your website, it has nothing to do with keywords.

That's why they are different.

Sorry I meant the score of Jaaxy and the score available in the Keyword tool available in Google AdWords. Why are they so different?

Any idea?

Because those keywords in Google Adwords is based on PPC, not SEO.

What is the difference between the two? Can you please clarify? Sorry if I sound too childish

Thanks for your help in advance

When it's based on PPC, it's more about how much money people are bidding on those keywords, so that's what the competitiveness mean on Google Adwords' keyword planner.

Jaaxy's QSR (competition) measures how many websites use that particular in their content.

Hope this helps,
Grace

Great explanation. Thanks for sharing your insight. Very Informative and explained well.

You're so welcome. :) Glad you can use this too.

Hi Donna,

Unfortunately i have no experience in that niche ...

Still, while you are waiting for more helpful answers, you might want to check these out for some niche- and site-related tips: How to choose the perfect niche How to build an effective website How to build a successful and trusted blog

Hi Donna..... the mind blows with the opportunity you have here with your niche.
You could tackle it from - how to make your home work efficiently for you - Ie cleaning, decluttering, routines etc
this would then give the mum time and energy to spend on her on line business.
You could tackle it from - Activities and education an at home mum can do with their young children and link to educational toys and products
You could tackle it from - The mum using a hobby ie handcrafts, art, etc and how to market this through various channels.

These are just thoughts I had. Good luck with choosing your niche.
Paula

Change theme and name first. Site that has been around for a long time is easier to rank in Google compared to new site :)

Okay, that sounds like a great plan! I was hoping it would be more favorable to keep it. Thanks a lot. :-)

Great Post! I agree that it is important to have a thorough understanding of these foundation lessons.

Thanks Rick :-)

Use the keywords you found on Jaaxy. Use the ones that have under 300 in the first column and a QSR at or near 100.

Okay, thank you!

Anytime!

Could you provide a little more detail on what QSR on Jaaxy really means. For example, many search terms look like they have nearly the same number of searches vs traffic...but very different QSR results. The QSR on three keyword searches might yield 64, 97, and 162.

What does the QSR number tell us? Is it 100 and lower? Or just right at 100? Is there a range of QSR scores that will be acceptable?

Thanks!

QSR is quoted search results. This refers to the amount of websites out there using that keyword. Lower number there means less competition.

SEO is your search engine optimization. That is the number near 100. The higher it is, the better chance you have and google recognizing it.

Seo should be at or near 100 while QSR should be low so less competition. I was typing fast earlier and may have mistyped.

Thanks for the response!!! I completely get the demand vs supply idea...but I am still a little unsure on SEO as it relates to the current version of Jaaxy.

Jaaxy lists Searches...Traffic...Competition (OSR)...Article Power...PPC Power...and then Dig.

Where do we find the SEO score within Jaaxy?

Can you shed some light on Article Power and PPC Power as it relates to Jaaxy?

Is there a training video on Jaaxy that goes into more detail?

Thank you for your time!!!!

It is my understanding from our training that the QSR number is one to look at along with how many people searched the term. The closer the QSR number is to 100 the better. Best wishes

I think brokeandretired.com is better if available

Hey Gloria, although I'm a newbie myself to this group, I believe that your domain name is not as important as the content in and on your page. Whether it is a post, a blog or a website you want to target those keywords in your niche. Your domain name is really one of the least important aspects of reaching your audience. Of course it helps to have a nice short and memorable domain name for sure, it is not as important as content. Hope this helps.

Thanks Robert. I really appreciate you taking the time to help me out. Well, I have chosen a domain name and am moving forward. I will see you at the top!

Thank you...It is not available but I will do a post on Broke and Retired. I appreciate your response.

You want to make sure the QSR is under 100. The left columns give you the number of searches so the higher there the better. On the right will be the .com .net .org availability. I would check your keywords for qsr to see which is better, and of course google those words and see who you are up against on each.

None of these tools are perfect. The number to showed above are worth writing about, and if you get more searches all the better.

You mean the numbers Google show up when you type the keyword directly in Google? Or you mean the Google Keyword Planner?

Nope. The numbers were the first result I got when I plugged "how veterans can start a business" (from Google search) into the WA keyword search (/kw_research). I don't know if the numbers I got were too low, though Google says that was a popular search in their search engine. Looks like the competition isn't very much.

Jaaxy's result is accurate. Google search does not show you the actual keyword searches and competition for the exact same keyword.

How do you know "Google says" it was a popular search?

Because when I used the main Google search screen, and typed in "how veterans," the fuller keyword ("how veterans can start a business") instantly popped up as one of the options for completing the search entry. Kyle says in the lesson says that this feature, "called Google instant," was launched by Google in 2010.

To better answer your question, Kyle said: "Google is giving you terms that are commonly typed in...in other words, based on historical searches, they are trying to predict what you may be looking for based on popularity."

The google keyword tool is different from the Wealthy affiliate keyword tool.

The google keyword tool is an extension of google Adwords while the wealthy affiliate keyword tool is also known as Jaaxy.

The basic level of Jaaxyis free for wealthy affiliate members.

It depends on what your objective is with your blog, either is right. Is it to help college dropouts or anyone that is unemployed? You might write about college dropouts, the challenges they face trying to find decent employment, how they can make money, inspire them to go back to school, teach them about starting a business or teach them about affiliate marketing. One Tab for college drop outs with sub tabs, one tab for the retired with sub tabs,if it is about the unemployed; or you could make them two different niches with posts focusing on the target audience (college dropouts, retirees, stay at home mother's etc.).
Hope this helps, Best Wishes

The only thing you can really do is go with what feels right to you. You are the only one that can make that choice. If it feels like the right one go with it!


I wish you the best in achieving your goals and hope I helped atleast a little.

I can tell you that some of my disabilities are not visible, but make it hard to deal with in a regular environment.

I know what you mean Mark, I think. I too am disabled and on a good day, I seem normal even though I am feeling some signs of my disability. But then,
.on a not so good day, some signs of my disability show like crazy. This makes it difficult to function in a "normal" environment even more because I never know what kind of a day I will have.
For me, my purpose for generating a second income is because I can't make ends meet on what I receive from SSDI. But ultimately, I want to leave a legacy and I hope to accomplish that from what I am learning here. I think being disabled and reaching out to others who are disabled is a pretty slim topic. I would need to expand my topic.
So, David4618, don't you think anyone who wants to do this will find the funds? There are many things they can do. Sell something on Craigslist or borrow from a close friend who supports what they are doing. I just let my need be known through conversation and "BOOM" help came from 3 directions. My daughter mailed me some money, my partner gave it to me, my neighbor who owed me money , paid me back. Of course, as soon as they get a couple of referrals, they can pay their monthly amount easily.
There is a site with Amazon where you can earn money doing odd jobs online. It's incredible. If you want anymore info. on this subject, I can direct you to it. PM me if intrrested.
I hope I have helped someone here and didn't just blab on and on.

Wishing you all the best,
Karen

I recommend to follow the step by step lessons. Everything is detailed in the lessons and you just need to follow through with the action steps and keep working carefully through the lessons :)

Thank you for your message :)

That is actually a very good focus Michelle, there are so many communities where there are not so many opportunities or the opportunities are in decline. creating and showing folks an alternative that they can tap into online has real potential, best wishes as you explore the possibilities.

No. Not all 80% are interested in getting out of debit, but I would assume a large number are interested and you would be writing your website for them. I know I would be interested!

Best wishes,
Karin :)

Thanks Karin for the input! Well once I have some good content on there I'll let you know and you can check it out and let me know what you think!

Helping people is awesome. Good job.

Hi kfsonwa,
That is the first thing you should do. Go to training on the left hand side bar ( the green button) and then click Online Entrepreneur Certification. Making a website is the first thing you need. Dont do anything else until you start that training. Good luck!

what I understand that Jaaxy is not enough for keyword search and can be overestimated! Oh God..Is it correct?

Hi Safia,
I am just in between meetings so will try to give it a good shot.

Just from reading your comment it appears that you are putting the horse before the cart. Using PPC or Google add words to promote is further along in the training, so plenty of things to work through before tackling that and as per the training it is probably better to start with Bing adds not as expensive as Google add words, a good way to learn and not so expensive if you make mistakes along the way.

If we go to the training, Choosing Your Direction We are trying to establish our direction, or who are we going to reach out to.

The direction I am going to be choosing for my business is:

...........................................................................................

and the second thing

The name of my brand:


.....................................................................................................

Initially, we need to work out who we are targetting and then secondly how are we going to create content that will reach out to that audience.

The basics of it are that we want to create content that is related to what people are searching for in Google.

The amount of content that is posted online on an hourly basis is mind-boggling, it is unbelievable.

The key is to create content that is focused and relevant to the audience that we have decided to target.

So if we look at the training Kyle has started with a broad search term.

If at that stage you write an article and someone from an authority site writes an article...................both are indexed

The question is will you be on the same page in the search results for that search term, the answer is no you will not even be in the same stadium.

So how you leverage the keyword research is that you drill down so if we look at the example, Kyle has drilled down and down and down, so it ends up with search terms that are more targetted and as we do that the search terms have less competition, not so many folks writing about that topic, at the same people are searching for those search terms, so the chances that when Safia writes an article, folks will click on it and read and possibly click through to your offer and the chances are that you will end up on page one for that particular search term so once again more chances for folks to see your content.

Hope that makes sense

Good job.and the more content that we produce and get indexed and ranked more and more folks turn up to your show.

It is a whole process and one that does not happen overnight, much better to follow the training and cross the bridges as you get to them

Best wishes.

Hi Safia,
Try not to overthink things, it causes us more problems than it solves, only speaking from experience.

Jaaxy is an amazing resource, personally, it has been of huge benefit, can't say enough about it.

Like all tools and resources, they are only as good as our skill set to use it and the only way to do that is to use it, get our heads around it, you have to play around with it........... to get the results we need to work it.

The thing about it is that it is just not one thing we are building a huge jigsaw puzzle and each little bit adds to the picture.

Just follow the training we don't have to reinvent it.

Best wishes.

@AlexEvans thanks a lot for your input.
Your explanation just bring me back to the path.
How fantastic your replay (answer) and how amazing understanding my question!

Yep, I got it now.

Kyle are Amazing and now I know why he follow this strategy.

You are most welcome hope that you found it useful.

so that i one of the target keywords to use - show them how adding a 'passive income' stream to their portfolio will gove them more income.
but getting to konw the audience is one of the most important things you can do - you then think like them and know what they are after.
good luck
phil

I couldn't agree more that getting to know your target audience is extremely important....... cheers Graham

i know how you feel - a couple of years ago i was in the same boat - i have a lot of interests but couldn't decide on one so went for the bootcamp - thre months later i was looking back at the certification course and starting again.
seriously if you are not really passionate about the make money online business and can either buy the products or just cobble together reiviews from others on the net then go for something less competative.
even something like bathroom fans! - they are cheaper than mmo products and there are a lot of them.
it can be something you are looking to improve on the house or have just bought. others will want the same thing so why not create a site about that?
note that your first one may not be your best one - or it may be a red hot hit.
take a little bit longer and use the search bar above to look for more info on how to look for your niche - boomergp08 has a good training as has loes.
good luck
phil

Thank you Phil!Seeing that you overtake my same difficult in starting out is consoling!I will check this training. many thx

Here's a recorded webinar where Kyle talks about how to efficiently become an expert: Insights into Efficiently Becoming an Expert in 2018 Hope this helps!

I share your opinion Maria - WA is not for everyone.
It's not for people who are not willing to learn and not patient.
The skill how to build an online business is something everybody has to learn - and all are provided here in WA. If one is willing to learn and persevere, she will break the code of how to 'anything' about the business - writing, expressing ideas, promoting and so on.

Just my opinion.

Joe

Look, my former nanny desperately needs work, as she has her own baby now. She is creative - can create diaper cakes, knit blankets etc.
But her English is very weak, no grammar whatsoever. She'll need years to fix it. Or hire writers.
But she is on food stamps and really has no money.
I would be happy to help her, but I feel it's just too over her head.
Need to find some other type of working from home for her.

Hi Mary,
I agree with you 100%; WA is not for everyone! People still have to be teachable and have a certain level of basic skills. Recently, I have seen some poorly written profiles and I wonder how are those people going to be able to write. Content is the backbone of the online business. It's hard enough to be successful without the added lack of the basic skills.

There are 3 things that I can suggest you can explore.

1) She is good with creating products. Can she join-venture with someone who can write about her product and promote it online?

2) Get someone who is already have a site in her niche and have one category to promote here product. This can be done on an agreed proportion profit rate

3) Can she write in other language? If she can, help her to build a multi-language site which can be translated into English.

Just my opinion.

:)
Joe

Your creative Nanny can get a domain in her own language and write. You don't have to have English to write. But this training is in English only. That can be a roadblock for her.

You have a talk targeted audience because everybody is too wide you cannot focus on the needs of everybody and by trying to you end up by targeting no one

It’s easier to position yourself as an authority site within a smaller niche Majorie, your articles can be tailored and more specific so you can really help people, plus you have less competition from other websites.

There are still squillions of people even within the narrowed down niches, plenty for us to make a truckload of cash :)

A great thought Heidi. Just common sense but I never thought of it that way. lol

Alex,
you have to remember that a domain name should be memorable.Your suggestion is too long to be memorable. The shorter the domain name the better it will rank and also having your keyword in the title no longer has the impact it used to have. Providing you don't use the domain name WWW.hangingplants.com and then try and sell dog food from that site you should be okay. What I mean there is you can tailor a domain to your needs but it should contain Keyword phrases from another niche

I have read in a couple of different places that it has an impact, then I have read in some other that it doesn't I guess that changed during some time so that is why there are different pieces of information out there.

The keyword is the niche Its similar to Kyle's "Howtolosebellyfat" from the training and I saw that a lot of his websites have long domain names, that is why I asked.

Thank you Kat. :)

it has changed it used to be important very important but now it's not on one of the reasons why this is so is sharing and social media has more impact

you are on the right path. don't share your keywords here.

It has all changed.
Once upon a time having the keyword was like "magic" and then it lead to "domain squatting" and other problems. I mean there can only ever be one "www.chocolate.com" or "www.lawyer.com" right? There are over 1 billion websites on the internet so the Search Engines have all changed their algorithms to minimise this problem now.
My advice is simply to pick the name you like and then write lots of post targeting your niche / targeting your audiences specific problems. Very, very, very few people take the time to read domain names anyway. Working links in the right spot are more important that the actual letters that make up your domain name.
Good luck with it.

I'm not sure Kyle was speaking to you specifically when he said that. I believe he was talking to WA members collectively.

Lots of the WA members speak English as their second language so they can of course target speakers of their native tongue.

Thanks for the reply. I did not think he was speaking to me specifically but my question still stands. My girlfriend speaks fluent Chinese but could I really build a website here on WA for people in China? And if I could I wonder what obstacles I would run into. This is just a curious thing with me or perhaps a pie in the sky idea. I tend to get ahead of myself on occasion LOL

I'm sure that many of Steve Jobs' ideas could have been called, 'pie in the sky' but he changed the face of mobile telephony. :)

I regularly speak to a friend in Beijing and I think that yes, there's no reason you couldn't build a website here on WA for people in China (as long as it's not blocked by the state firewall).

People in China share the same hopes and dreams that we do and I'm sure that if you picked the right niche, it could be a success.

We're definitely not targeting every person in the world. Your website should have a target audience, be it in English, Chinese or any other language.

You just need to recognize the group of people you want to target, then work towards offering value to them and them eventually monetize it.

If you need more clarification on your niche, you can check out Kyle's post here: A Niche is A Group of People Looking for Stuff Also, as you mentioned you may want to build websites in other languages apart from English, I've created a training here for that: How to Build Websites in Other Languages?

Nice! Thank you!

Aloha Jerry! Where have you been? I thought you abandoned me after I went premium LOL

Anyhow, thanks for the message and the training!
