Reconnecting...
I remember when I started out, it took me over 30 days just to get my first website up and running and live online. Websites were far more technical and far "uglier" back in 2002 when I started.
So consider your progress thus far REALLY awesome, you are doing great! You have your website up and running. This is the starting point for your business.
In this lesson we are going to be learning all about the "back office" of your website and how the different aspects of Wordpress function. Wordpress is a framework in which you are building a website on. Many of you probably have experience with Wordpress already, but many do not and that is perfectly fine (it can be learned very quickly).
In the following video, I am going to walk you through the "back office" (admin area) of your website and also show you how to clean up your initial DUMMY content of your site.
DISCUSS VIDEO: Setting Up Your Website - The Initial Steps
Task 1: Delete the Dummy Page & Post
Your tasks in this lesson are all going to be very straightforward. You are going to be deleting "dummy" content that is automatically installed with every website. This is content that you will not be needing.
This likely will include:
- Sample page
- Sample post
- Sample comment
In this task we are going to go through and delete all of this content.
The first step is clicking the "Pages" tab. This will take you to your website Pages that are either in draft or published mode. What we want to do is delete the "Sample Page" here.
When you "mouse over" the Sample Page link, a menu will pop up with a Trash link. Click that and you will delete this Page.
Then we are going to do the same thing with Posts.
Click the Posts tab, within the side menu. Then mouse over the Hello World post and click the "Trash" button.
All done!
Your website has been cleaned up and is ready to go. In the upcoming lessons you are going to be creating your own Pages and Posts and publishing them. Exciting stuff ahead!
Task 2: Navigating the Back Office of Your Site
This next one is simple, I just want you to acquaint yourself and have a look around the "back office" area over your website.
As with anything NEW, it can appear overwhelming at first but I can assure you before long you are going to be very proficient with the website build process. Just like your first day of school, it might seem a bit foreign. All we want you to do in this task is have a look around the different tabs and areas of the admin area.
We are going to be covering the various aspects of Wordpress and how to use much of these tools in upcoming lessons and you are going to be very proficient with Wordpress before you know it.
Task 3: If There Are Any Updates Available, Update.
Sometimes, depending on the timing of your 'website install', there will be updates available. Wordpress is a quickly evolving platform, so updates do happen quite frequently. These are sometimes feature improvements, sometimes they are security updates.
When there are updates available, you will se them directly under the Dashboard side menu, under the Updates link.
In the case of my website here, there are 4 available updates. This could be a combination of a Wordpress version update, plugin updates, or theme updates, but there are 4 total.
I simply click this button and it will take me to an overview of all updates.
The first thing I see is an updated version of Wordpress being available, so I update this. Click the "Update Now" button, and this will walk you through the process of updating Wordpress to the latest version.
Below this, if more updates area available, you will see plugins and themes that you will be able to update. In my case, I have three plugin updates. Check off the boxes, and click update plugins.
And we are all done!
**If you don't see any available updates, that is perfectly fine. Check off this task below and move on, just be aware that you may see updates like this pop-up within your website back office and it is perfectly fine to update these.

I'm trying to pick a niche to get started, I cant find at the moment something that fit perfectly to my knowledge and that I'm passionate about and I made my peace with that. I think I can write about some topics regarding digital marketing focusing on search engine optimization but I know its a bit broad and very competitive. currently I'm trying to choose my brand direction and I cant decide... going with the example in the lesson, my "Brand" direction is helping people make money from home/online but I still feel it is very broad and I fear that in the future this would be my biggest problem so I'm not sure how to move foreword.
What do you think?

Hi Ellash - granpaRolf here. I had the same problem, and I solved it by choosing to promote Wealthy Affiliate. So now I am going through the Bootcamp.
As Kyle said, we don't need to choose our brand immediately, as we will likely go into multiple niches as we understand more of the online marketing scene.
And your interest ans skills you can apply in any niche. This is my humble advice from another "scatter mind" that has found "clarity" in choosing the most obvious - promoting WA!
Hooping this helps!
Cheers granpaRolf
PS. I followed you as I hope you progress and reach your goals!

I have been reading a couple of reviews and these people has experience within Affiliate marketing, and can show statistics and earnings from their activity.
What do I do without any experience or traction or earnings? Will it not be a little pretentious of me to claim that I can advise them about what to do?
I have written a lot of technical reports in my time within my own domain of expertise, but does that give me the right to advice others in a topic that I hardly understand thoroughly yet?,
I also understand the CIAO principle, but is this enough to write a review? I want to help people, not mislead them - that's my initial worry.
Can someone tell m if I am totally out for lunch here or are these valid concerns?

Reply, these are legitimate concerns. When you are trying to be an honest business person, it can feel like you are pushing against the tide.
I am in the same boat as you, I have only played with blogging and website building over the years. Never too much success... But with every failure comes knowledge. Share that knowledge, share your understanding right now.
Check out my review of WA here and see if you find it helpful. It does not brag about all the money I earn or success I have had. Remember, that you can always update and rewrite the article as your knowledge and experience grow.
In fact, I would recommend it.

Hi Dovey - thanks for your comments I appreciate that!. I read your review and it was very helpful and good! You did what I want to do - be accurate, engaging and helpful...
So this helps me see that even I can provide helpful insights when I write my review - because of the insights I have gained from the training - by just following the CIAO template laid out by Kyle!
I am following you now, as you proved to give good advice and I may turn to you again later. And who knows - I may later be in the position to give advice later - even to you...!
Thanks again, now I have to go and write my review of Wealthy Affiliate, and you'll get a link when it's done.

Then change your theme to something else. If you don't like how your theme works, there are lots of options. In fact you have access to over 3,000 themes as a premium member.
You can change your theme at any time within your WP-admin:
Appearance => Themes
There are over 3,000 to choose from there and you will also be able to upload your own from there.
Simply do a search there (the search is pretty good) and you will be able to find a theme/look that you are seeking.

I'm thinking about targeting "work from home jobs for military spouses" and/or "jobs for military spouses that are easy to move with." I know that second one is a little wordy, but it is a huge problem we face. Moving to a new base every 2-3 years is tough on employment!
I think that's a great idea. I was in the military for 13 years so I totally know where you are coming from.

Retired individuals and couples is my direction (being a retiree myself)
But I have 3 other alternative as ptentialell,
1, College/University students
2. Recurring income seekers
3. Work from home
My favorite is the retired individual/couple but I think the 3 other also have great potential. I need some pointers what should be the direction of the site.

Work From Home is pretty broad as it takes in a wide variety of people and 'Jobs'.
Students is quite good as they are more likely to be short of cash anyway and they would be an ideal target audience.
Over 60's is quite good as well but a lot of that age group would probably not be all that computer literate unless their former employment meant they used computers in that employment.
They might think that WA is not a good option to earn extra money even though the training is step by step it might put them off.
Just my opinion Rolf and based on conversations I have with the over 60's.
I was actually 70 in June but have a lot of online experience from my former 9 to 5.

I'M STUCK !! At "Create Your About Me Post" in lesson 7 bootcamp. I'm not worried about "writing" the post so be it my poor vocabulary, But I must be missing some kind of program that will allow me to write the post like writing a letter for example. You have to have "Headers" and "Paragraph" with "Spaces" where it's needed. I can't do any of that. Something is missing. Can someone tell me what I need PLEASE.
Hi all - appreciate your comment good or bad-
My desired nitch would be to help those that are down and out financially and in the above 40yo bracket. This tends to be the age that those on standard wages struggle with education fees for near-adult kids, mortgage, and general living. If you add a job loss into the mix it is a disaster.
I do plan to make a site with lots of free content and resource links and have WA in there somewhere.
Should anyone have advice, comments or thoughts as to how to source content and break the nitch down I would very much appreciate it. Thank you

Hi Kyle, on Twitter I have two author accounts, one under my real name and one under a pen name, with both accounts combined I have around 8000 followers (90% of them authors - I am an author).
So, I am thinking of creating a niche for struggling authors. There are thousands, perhaps millions out there who are not getting noticed and are not making money with their books.
The other thing I thought of was teachers. A teacher has the most important job, basically, and is underpaid. A niche for something extra for teachers. What do you think? I would love to get some feedback on both ideas.
My nr. 1 is the author idea. Any thoughts?

You do not have to promote WA if you don't want to.
If you have experience and or knowledge of a particular Niche then by all means go down that road.
The Bootcamp tells you how to be an affiliate whether you promote WA or not.
The lessons are worth taking for that reason alone.

Hi,
In my Training Video on how to activate plugins, there are two types of plugins that are shown, the first is the All in one SEO pack and the other EWWW optimizer...But in my actual dashboard plugins there are three types of plugins. the first is the All in one SEO pack, the second is the classic editor and the third is the Kraken image optimizer. i believe its like this cause i'm a premium member!?. OK so my question is, do i need to install the EWWW image optimizer since it help increase speed by reducing image file sizes?

At 86 years young, I know a little about the retirement life. I want to direct my attention to retirees. I have two registered domain names: hotwombat.com and workfromhomeynot.com. The hotwombat name is something that has been running around in my head for years. I have used the name ‘HotWombat’ for a number of free web sites to post crossword puzzles I have constructed. They were all slanted towards learners of English. I did those years ago, and unfortunately, I have lost usernames and passwords and so, no longer have access to those web sites. I have no idea what the number of visitors were to those sites, anyway I have moved on. I have digressed, sorry. I want to build a brand for the retiree niche and think if I worked consistently with the hotwombat domain, I could brand it as ‘retiree specialist’. The other domain, workfromhomeynot, could be used for a more scattergun approach to keywords for Wealthy Affiliate.
I would love to get some feedback on my idea re how to use the two foregoing domain names.
Take care,
HotWombat aka Jim.

Glad to see I am not the only one struggling with a brand. I have my niche figured out in quite a few areas that were suggested in the tutorial information. However, the brand is a tough one because you have to see yourself in that brand and how you want others to see you. I have gotten some ideas and am now going to have to do some more asking questions so as to help me get that created.

Hi. My dad is prediabetic and was recently advised by his doctor to start the 8 Week Blood Sugar Diet by Dr Michael Moseley. The gist of it that it is possible to completely reverse type 2 diabetes by losing weight and in particular the weight that sits around your pancreas and liver as this is what inhibits the production of insulin. Dr Michael Moseley has written a book and recipe book called the 8 Week Blood Sugar Diet that explains it all in more detail and he talks about loads of people who have used the diet to completely reverse their diabetes and come off their medication. I think this is really exciting for type 2 diabetics and definitely worth writing about. Hope that helps xx

This can certainly be the case. Not always though, but you shouldn't be adding affiliate links right away to your website either.
You want a framework of content on your website first (15-20 post) before you start apply to affiliate programs. Many affiliate programs will review your website before approval so that is why.

Yes, you want one brand but the audience can be pretty widespread within that brand. There are many ways in which you can diversify as you build out your website.

Being 86 years young I understand a lot about retirement. I was fortunate when I closed my last bricks and mortar business in 2000. My savings, together with direction from a financial advisor, has given me a reasonable standard of living. Not the best, but okay.
I look around at other retirees and realise how much better off I am than many others.
Since coming across Wealthy Affiliate, I regret not having discovered it 10 years ago. If I had, my life style would be a peg or two above what it is now.
My goal, (or at least one of them) is to intoduce Wealthy Affiliate to as many as I can as a way to build a passive income, regardless of their age, that will carry on into their retirement years.
Take care,

My goal, (or at least one of them) is to intoduce Wealthy Affiliate to as many as I can as a way to build a passive income, regardless of their age, that will carry on into their retirement years.
Take care,
HotWombat aka Jim.

Hi HotWombat. I'm right behind you at 85 . But I only have a Gov. pension + a really small union pension to supliment that. With the cost of living steadily climbing and the pension staying put at the same level I find it very hard to keep up. But if I can finally get going with WA I think I'll probably make out ok .

Time to look forward, it is easy to look back and say "if only I had...".
The reality is that you can control what you do now, and what you accomplish in the future and with the bootcamp training and your website that you are building, you are going to be helping many others. ;)
Love your goals and direction here, I look forward to seeing them take shape.

I am already on level 3 of the Online Entrepreneur Cert training and thought it might be a good idea to start this training while I am waiting for Google Adsense to approve my site. I want my niche for this website to focus on helping college students earn money online but I fear this might be too broad.. any suggestions? Also is it a good idea to have two website (this one and my other one) or will this be too much? thanks

Not sure i have the time to aim for the 300 needed to make the conference, but would love to aim for 50 referrals in the year.
I have just completed level 1 of the training and thought i would pop over here and try and increase my knowledge on the Affiliate marketing front.
I was after some training on the appearance of my website, tweaking and changing colours, layout etc. Does anyone know when this training pops up?
Thanks, and also having a lot of fun over here. Learning is so good for the brain and soll!

I already activate EWWW Image Optimizer and then showing this.
EWWW Image Optimizer requires exec() to perform local compression. Your system administrator has disabled the exec() function, ask them to enable it.
An API key or ExactDN subscription will allow you to offload the compression to our dedicated servers instead.
But in the video just got two plugins, do I have to delete Classic Editor and Kraken Image Optimizer?Also, advice to add other plugins, should I have to add others or only activate Ewww image optimizer and all in one seo?
Thank you guys:D

Here comes the answer. :D
We are excited to let you know that the EWWW image optimizer plugin has been replaced by a much better and enterprise-level image optimizer called Kraken.io. Kraken is an outstanding paid image optimizing service that we have included in the new Server Class at Wealthy Affiliate free of charge!
We have installed the Kraken plugin and activated it on your website. Ewww image optimizer has been disabled and one of the reasons is because it requires server settings that can leave the serverless secure. As part of our continued efforts to provide the most secure servers, EWWW is no longer able to run on this new server Class with heightened security.
You will find Kraken and image optimization settings under your installed Plugins area.
I think that you will really love Kraken as an image optimization platform that is now available with your Premium membership here at WA :)

Hello everyone, I have a couple of problems with my site again. The first one is my privacy policy page. In the menu on my site it displays the privacy page plus the entire content of the page in the menu. It doesn't just say privacy policy. I don't know where I went wrong. second how do I refresh the page I am working on? If anyone can help me, I would really appreciate it. thank you all

Hi Kattdell,
First to refresh your page you can either press F5 or if using Chrome next door to the Home Icon to the left of the URL there is a small arrow type icon you click there and that will also refresh the page.
As for the content being displayed rather than just the name of the page it would really be down to the configuration of the menu being set up. If you like send me your website address and I will happily look more for you.

Another question again, if you are targeting let’s say a group of prisoners who wants to make money online, and off course your niche is the make money online niche’’ and then your website is
mybe ‘’ DONE DEAL AFFILIATE’’ You want to write an article on a keyword like ‘’affiliate marketing training free’’. How do you target this specific group of prisoners or people with undesirable jobs and people with Undesirable Jobs?
How do you build your content or website towards that specific chosen direction because everyone has a direction per the training?

Hi Kyle, please for some time now, something has been happening to my website that I don't understand.
I started out with Wealthy Affiliate in November 2018. Paid my first $19 but after the first month, I couldn't afford the second subscription. So, my account was blocked and my first website deleted.
When I resubscribed on 15 Match 2019, I created a new website with the same domain name and reposted all the old contents. While I was posting the contents, I got a pop-up message saying that ''the content I am trying to post is detected as PLAGIARIZED''.
So, I contacted ERIC CANTOU and he told me that, since I am the original author of the contents, there is no problem, that google will index them with time.
So, I went ahead and posted all of them and added new contents as well.
It took over three months for some of the contents to start getting indexed and when it finally did, the old once were not getting indexed yet, and are still are not indexed. The new once are getting indexed.
Meanwhile, when I first started last year November, it took just weeks for 9 out of 12 contents to get indexed, but this time around it took over three months. What happened?
And as I write to you, I have 42 articles posted but not up to 30 is indexed.
I want to find out if there is anything wrong. Is there something I am not doing right that can be a problem to my rankings?
I have tried asking the community but couldn't get any reasonable response. Please talk to me. This is the fourth month running out and yet no record of ranking or what is happening. I need to know.
Waiting to hear from you.

Hi
Can I canvas opinions please on my proposed direction for my website to promote Wealthy Affiliate? I would like to help people who want to create a better work-life balance and to find financial freedom. In particular, I would like to help mums who are struggling to find well paid part time jobs to fit around looking after their children, especially those who had a professional or well paid full time job before having kids. I have many friends in the UK in this position.

Hi angela!
What are some of the things you do as a stay at home mom?
maybe make a list of those things first and find ways you can help others with that thing you chose.
the good thing about wealthy affiliate is it can be promoted whichever angle you decide to take.
ex: help other stay at home moms ( like myself ) set up blogs and suggest wealthy affiliate to help them get started and you not only help but you also make money doing so.
win win for everyone......
Im new myself btw. so I understand your frustration, just try and be patience with yourself.

Maybe just an idea
since you work 50 hours at your current position and you have been doing this for a while, examine skills you use there.
maybe there is something in your daily work that you can help others with, then find a way( product or service) related to that you can monetize from.
We are similar in our desires.
I worked 40 + hours in customer service... I hated it but I did learn how to help frustrated people and has become better at solving problems.
My niche is making money on-line and I plan to make to make a income from W/A.
I am just starting like you so I dont have a success story beside the success I felt from starting.
But I can say I have a better direction from going through the training.
Wish you well Love!

I have almost finished with my WA review.
I still have 2 questions.
1- I do not succeed to use H1 H2 H3 ...
I have tried my best but I did not succeed to give to my internal headlines the size I would like.
Is it necessary to put an email address in my WA review to allow users to contact me? If yes, shall I link Gmail address? Or what to do?
Thanks.

So the article mentioned stay-at-home moms as one of the targets. I'm a stay at home mom of 4, 5 and under, and I'm always being asked how I do it explicitly since my husband only makes $2,000 a month and we don't feel poor.
So I'm wondering if I should start a blog on how I do it all, call it Poor Mom Hacks or something like that, and promote WA on there.

Possibly?
Not quite sure what you are asking.
Are you asking bout using this process to name your website?
Absolutely do that... It will help your niche website to rank quite a bit faster/better than simply picking a whimsical or a name that is only somewhat related to your niche market.
However, from a branding perspective, having a unique name (think of apple computers or Xerox) will allow you to develop ownership. Though going the branding route will take longer to gain traction within that niche. But even then, there is no guarantee that your brand will become "THE" brand associated within that niche.
But that isn't necessarily a bad thing either. Just think of all the various brand that come to mind when you think of "Android Phone".
Hope the above answers your question... I'll be around if it doesn't.

I built a website for online store. It easy when you drop and drag. But some website use html. I found it very difficult design using html if don't have much coding knowledge. I am interested in building website better and perhaps helping somebody to built theirs. When you said share affiliate link with people it mean we post it on our social media or can we post it on forum. About the banner can i post the link on any of my website or has to be specific website for that. Trying to think what would be my niche for website "helping people to build their online store" and my audience will be online marketing i think. Anyone have better suggestion. I appreciate it.

I’m a bit confused lol...I understand that we are trying to get referrals. I’ve read some that are focusing more on the affiliates, but I guess my question is do you have multiple websites? Like one that you are making profit or commissions off of products and another that you are targeting people to get them to sign up? Or both? I’m so confused. And can you do multiple sites targeting different interests? Say I wanna focus on baby items as well as workout supplements and such. Obviously those two don’t go together so would you do two different websites for that? And what about the referral part? I’m sorry I know that’s a lot but I am Confused but ready to get started and not sure which direction I’m going.

Hi Jennifer
You've only been here a few days so plenty of time to get up and running.
Don't get overwhelmed by it all.
The training really is step by step and you get started on the first course - Online Certification - and fully understand one step before moving on to the next.
You get stuck you ask questions and keep asking until all is clear.
Of course the best place for a quick answer is in Live Chat.
just jump in there and there will always be someone who has the right answer.
You can always send a private message to people such as myself who have been around the block and also been members for a few years.
I would advise you to start with one Niche and promote products within that Niche.
Once you have that website actually making you some money then you can perhaps building another site in another Niche.
I would also suggest you start with something you have experience and/or knowledge off and that way you will be able to write articles with some authority and that will come across in your articles.
people do like to see that the articles they are reading have been written by someone who actually knows what they are talking about.
This builds up trust and trust is all-important.
If you have a Niche with that all-important experience and/or knowledge of then start with that and you do not have to promote WA to get referrals if you don't want to.
The Bootcamp is aimed at getting referrals for WA but it is also good training on how to become and affiliate and shows you what to do.
Onwards and Upwards and have a great Thursday.

The challenge here is that everyone looking for a website for making extra money, has been burned a few times on online "money making scams " that don't deliver. The challenge is to appeal to them that I am going to be trustworthy and this will be the last place they will ever have to look for online help, training and not clean you out with false promises. How do I name that website? Lol

Once again I say -
You Do Not Have To Promote Wealthy Affiliate.
Therefore you do NOT have to write a review about WA.

While researching for keywords, I know the keywords must make sense. sometimes while searching we tend to type fast. there is one keyword that is good but just missing one letter. how affiliate marketing work(s) is the keyword. is it wise to still use it even though it's just missing one word?

Hi - if you’re asking which of the 1,000+ Website themes to choose from I don’t think it matters much. You could stick with the example Kyle uses “Hero” or any of the others. I put
‘Blog” in the search field and selected one of those. The sheer number of themes can be overwhelming for sure but it also allows your site to be a bit more unique.

Hi everyone!
I just went through the Jaaxy video and Kyle’s screen looks very different. The biggest difference is that Kyle gets to see the QSR rankings automatically while on mine I have to tap into each keyword to get the QSR. Having to tap/click each keyword is terribly inefficient.
Does anyone know how I can see it automatically?

I’d just like the owners to set me up on the most profitable plan of what they know works. I’m not looking to re-invent the wheel. I got over 200k in school loans and the wage garnishments have begun. I just need to be told what to do and I’ll do it. Make me an apt pupil and I’ll do my best to put money in everyone’s pockets. Guys like me just need to be given a directive and want to be molded, so please, tell me what to do.

When you follow the step-by-step training, you are on your way to creating a profitable website. You can do that by starting with Lesson 1 and complete all the tasks as you go. If you have any questions, just ask for help and someone will be happy to assist you. All the best to your success.

I feel you on the student loans. I have over 100k as well and definitely looking forward to getting rid of it. I would say start to think about unique skills or experiences that you can add from your own personal story. If you're skilled at a particular job or hobby, you can show people tutorials on how to do it or lessons learned. Providing unique solutions to people's problems is the best way to grow a brand.

I need help refining my niche. I currently sell smartwatches on my own website, but it has its ups and downs. Right now I provide a great service to those who want to have better ratings and rankings on Google My Business and Search Engines, Telephone Directories, Business Directories, Free-For-All Links, Web Crawlers, Online Shopping Malls, Newspapers, etc. I think I should focus on that. What do you think?

I am assuming most of your traffic is driven to your website through paid traffic, versus SEO. To get ranked, you will want to have adequate content and useful content at that within your niche.
There are PLENTY of things that you can discuss and help your smartwatch audience out with.
When I go to do research on a given niche to come up with concepts for keywords (and ultimately content), I ask a few questions of my niche.
**What are some products/services that people are purchasing in your niche?
**What are some questions they are asking?
**What are some problems they are having?
**What are some "how to's" that are useful?
**What are some trending topics in your niche?
Do some research, in could be as simple as a Google search to uncover a lot of these items. I personally start off my keyword research using this technique: Alphabet Soup Technique - 2019 Edition This will open your doors to essentially unlimited ideas and concepts, from there you can plug in these keywords into the keyword/research platform that is available to you here at WA. Hope this helps you out here Paul!

Hi guys. I am having some issues with my site, they are:
1. when I login to my site I see the word 'Edit" under both my about me post and my privacy policy page. Does this mean someone visiting my site can make changes to those documents?
2. I published a review of wealthy affiliate a little over a week ago and to date it does not appear on my site. I thought that immediately after you publish it would appear on the site.
3. I am on the first task in the 2nd phase of the Bootcamp. I have written another review as my second post and need to add some images, where can I find appropriate images?
4. My second post is a Jaaxy Review, what affiliate link should I put for persons to click on?
5. I purchased a domain name, however, I do not see my name appearing at the top of the page, instead it says 'Howdy Admin'. Why so?
I would be grateful for some help please.

1. You most likely see the word edit because you're logged into the website as an admin. Try opening your page using another browser or use chrome in incognito mode. The 'edit' link shouldn't show anymore.
2. Once published, it should appear on your site immediately. Do you mean that it didn't show up on your navigation menu? You can access your page anytime using the URL on top of your WordPress editor. (Refer to attachment)
3. You can find images by googling 'royalty free stock images' Some of the websites i like to go to is pexels, pixabay and unsplash.
5. Your domain name should show on the URL bar. Howdy Admin is your admin menu, try clicking on it and you will know what i'm talking about. If you're talking about the words on top left corner, next to the home and wordpress icon, that's a site title, you can edit it at Appearance > Customize > Site identity > Site Title

Ok, so here are the things that come to mind.
Contribution: I have a big space in my heart to offer assistance to the aging population by providing training (Online marketing), products (Developed specifically for the elderly), services (Assistance and help) and valuable information (Topical to them).
My obvious first challenge is that they are not on the internet at the audience level of other demographics. How do I reach them??
Passion's: I'm an actor, part of why this is important to me is to succeed at a level that allows me to train, audition, and perform basically all the time.
I'm a sports lover. I play and have coached successfully.
Basketball is my first love. Also would love to become active in the health and fitness niche.
I feel that mastery of affiliate marketing will give me the widest foundation of knowledge
All input is appreciated.

My niche is in Affiliating Marketing. I know in my heart there is success in this niche. However, I do not want to make mistakes but learn from the best and genuine affiliate marketers unlike soooooo...many others out there who promises, gets you pumped up, and presto...it costs an arm and a leg to join. So what is a good direction to begin with and I like the brand name Genuine Affiliate.

We all make mistakes along the path to success. If we don't, then we don't grow. You will make less by having the training here at WA.
I think that's a cool brand name, but if you like it, you better grab it b4 someone else does.
When I was in decision mode for the domain I was going to purchase, I came back to buy it the next day and it was unavailable.

So. My plan is to work kind of backwards. First up, I intend to list all the subjects I believe I have enough knowledge to produce content on. Then i will sit down with some friends or family, give them the subject and ask them what they would like to know about the subject. This would be the search terms they would type into google and therefore my keywords. I will then build the site around these keywords as they will give me an insight into the searchers intent. I can then tailor the content around the questions, thereby giving the searcher exactly what they are looking for. I'm hoping that by working this way, I will build an organically sound website.
Does this make sense ?

Hi, I will try to help you. I saw that you already have a website here on WA, and Google already recognizes it. Do you try to get another one?
It shouldn`t be hard. Go to https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/websites/domains and search for the domain name you want. Sometimes you can`t get domain because it`s already taken, so you will need to try with another title. Post with small caps and altogether like mydomainname and then click enter. You will get a suggestion about which domains are available. Choose your domain and add to the Cart.
Hope it helps. If you still have problems, we will ask for support help.

Well I think you could effectively target both topics within your niche. I would just narrow down your brand to something a bit more specific.
When you choose a domain, you are going to want to choose something that is "brandable" versus something that has keywords within it. The reason this is the case is because as you build out your website, you can target as many keywords as you like within the content (that is how you will rank).
I have created a discussion here outlining the process and what to look for when choosing a domain name: How Do I Choose a Good Domain Name? This should help you out here and if you ever want to run any domains by me, simply let me know and I will give you some feedback.
PS. You can host up to 25 of your own domains here within the Premium membership on our state of the art hosting platform. :)

Hi Kyle. I just got some very devastating news this morning that I have to turn my attention to. I have still not wrapped my head around it and probably won't for a couple of days. I want you to know that I have been very intrigued with WA and was planning on going Premium until I got the news I received today. So I'm going to have to put this on hold for the time being and hopefully I'll be able to get back with you sometime in the next couple of months. You and Jay have a good thing going through all the training and all the encouragement, but it would be an added pressure for me right now. Thank you again for everything and I hope to come back to this in order to keep learning.

I manage a couple businessses... we own a fitness and mma gym and invest in real estate. The cash flow from one busines helps fund the other business. I'm looking at this program to build more cash flow because the number one thing that keeps people from buying more real estate is investment capital.
I see this as a powerful tool to help people build a second income to be able to have more available capital to invest in real estate or other business. I believe I'd like to target real estate investors (beginner/intermediate level).
Do we build a site around this "direction" and then later build around other directions as we gain momentum in this one?
There's soooo many directions we can go!!
I'd love some honest feedback on my direction and if anyone can see a potential better direction to start...?
Thanks so much in advance!

One thing you never want to do with marketing is fall into the trap of "convincing".
So in your question you suggest you want to offer this opportunity to real estate investors... And that is not a good idea, because it requires convincing... Whereas if you were targeting people looking to start with affiliate marketing, no convincing required because this offers exactly what they want.
A better idea if you are interested in real estate is to simply pick a niche related to real estate, such as "mold damage" for example. Build a site around that, then recommend related products.
As you can likely see it is MUCH easier to convert visitors into sales onto a mold damage site offering mold damage products than it would be on a real estate investing site promoting an affiliate marketing program.
Hope that makes sense :)

promoting WA through articles and blogs is mainly for getting free traffic from organic SEO. If you follow some of our top WA members like JerryHuang, they also do youtube channels on top of writing articles. What kind of strategy are you planning to use?
To answer your second question, you can promote any affiliate programs besides WA. You can checkout the Training > Online Entrepreneur Certification for a more general training.

This step, to me, seems like it will take some time; fine tuning your target audience & coming up with a clever, relevant site/business name. Can your name be general yet apply to a vast market? Because there are so many angles to target I wouldn't want to be stuck on one subject. I want my path to be wide open, and not reach a dead end with the wrong idea or business model

Time well spent. Anything worth building is worth the time.
Your premium, you have as many websites as you want. Start with one and go from there.
Pick a domain name that speaks to you. I did, I'm Neuro Nerd because I love research about our amazing brains, but my website is health driven too.
Don't put yourself in a box. Have fun with it! :D

I'm a little confused about what my niche should be. I want to help people in need. For example, new career seekers, people that want to quit their current job, and people wanting/needing to work from home. So would my niche be "Making Money Online" or "Starting a Home Business" or am I totally lost on what a niche is??? And I'm not sure how you choose your target audience and how to break it down.

You can make an entire site on making money online and make categories like working from home and starting an online business, since they all entail making money online. I would do the bootcamp training and promote WA either way in this case.

I'm definitely doing the Bootcamp Training to promote WA. Since I'm unexpectedly unable to work outside the home any more (health reasons), I've had to basically reset everything about my life. After being a nurse for 20 years, it's been a big adjustment. And not by choice. However, I have maintained at least a portion of my sense of humor. I just started my WA Affiliate Website,
Click the Reset Button .com. Now all those people out there that get displaced, burnt out, become disabled, etc. can come join me and Click the Reset Button of their lives and start something new.
What do you think?
By the way VitaliyG, it's nice to know you're there to help. You've been great!!

Actually, most people on Wealthy Affiliate seem to have two websites. One for promoting Wealthy Affiliate and one which is their niche topic.
Your niche, apart from online income should be something you have a passion for and would like to share with other people. The most important thing is to write content that will help people who are interested in what you are writing about.
If you were a nurse, possibly your niche could have something to do with nursing. You would have to narrow it down so your niche talks about a specific area of nursing.
Maybe home nursing or nursing from home jobs. I just did a quick search for you and found this>>>>
What jobs can nurses do from home?
Here are some of the types of nursing jobs you may find.
Medical Call Center. Working in a medical call center is perhaps the nursing job from home that takes the least experience. ...
Case Manager. ...
Online Instructor/Course Developer. ...
Legal Nurse Consultant. ...
Health Care Recruiter. ...
Health IT/Nursing Informatics.
This might be a worthwhile niche to consider. You could talk about what it takes to become a nurse and what direction you can take your nursing career if you find yourself having to work from home.
Other nurses who find themselves in the same situation as you would appreciate having a resource that talked about this.
If your niche is something you have a passion for, there should be a lot of quality content you could write.

I am being told by my Norton Safe Web that my web page that I am trying to develop is not safe and could be a source of personal information to others that I don't want having that info. Yet Kyle says that all the websites are properly protected. If so then why am I getting this warning from Norton? Anyone else had this problem?

That is definitely not the case, and why MOST people do not use Norton.
You want to make sure your SSL is turned on, your website cannot get any more secure than that.
To turn on SiteSSL and make your website https:// (encrypted), head over the the SiteRubix => SiteManager page. Here is the direct link:
https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/websites
Within that page you will be see the SitePlus link, click that. (see attached) Then you will want to "toggle" the SiteSSL feature to "ON" status and SSL will be added to your website within 30 seconds. It is that easy!

First, thank you so much Kyle for the great training! However, I just have one comment. Please, if you are publishing screenshots, Try also to attach as much text as you can of that image. If you are visually impaired you only see the name of that image so it is always a good idea to have as much descriptive text as possible. This also includes when creating videos. If you are typing something, please also tell what you are typing so that someone who is totally blind or visually impaired can fully participate. Many thanks!

Thanks for that tip Kyle, really apreciated. However, the Site content tool is not that screen reader friendly onfurtunatly so most of my work will be done in WordPress. I am also going to focus on this when I explain to others who are visually impaired or blind what is the most accessible way to create good looking posts using Wordpress. One example, when you create your site for the first time and have to select a theme it is not that screen reader friendly. It is much easier to select themes directly in Wordpress.

How do I choose a direction that works well for me? I read the target audience tutorial, but the target audiences listed on the first page of the tutorial is overwhelming and I don't know which to choose. Can I choose more than one target audience? What do some of these target audiences mean such as entrepreneur programs, Google content network, data entry, etc.?

I'm on the same boat as you and it has been a challenge to find my niche. I will say, try not to force yourself to figure something out right now. Continue through the training and your're mind will clear up as you go.
A tip I can make is, just start to think about this throughout the day as you go about your normal tasks. You'll start to find that you'll pick up on ideas while listening to the radio, audiobook, talking to people and something will click.
I'm just about there too. I feel like I'm just about settled on a niche for my site. Im currently continuing the training to reinforce my idea.
Hope that helps you.

Hey Jay-M - OK, as a help try thinking of a group of people you'd like to help - I can think of bed-bound people, chronic illness sufferers, people suffering with Duchenne or any other muscular dystrophy.
They don't HAVE to be business people - they just have to be people who you think would benefit doing what you're doing which is going through the WA training.

I would focus on just one audience to start, then you can expand later. Choosing an audience is important because it helps you get in the mindset of your readers. WHO do you want to help?
Someone looking to build income for retirement is in a different mindset than someone looking to travel and work from their laptop.
You can always tweak or expand your niche as your site grows. See what Kyle has to say on the topic: Succeeding With Golf Balls, Scaling With Shoes!

Do some people not bother with a niche website and just build a website to promote WA?
Also, if you need 25 or 30 posts to get a website noticed, how can you possibly write that many posts about becoming a WA affiliate?
It looks like we are talking about two different things here. It seems most people on here would actually have at least two websites. One for a niche and one for promoting and selling the WA brand.

You don't need to write 25 or 30 post specifically on becoming a WA affiliate. You can write articles about websites, hosting, SEO, other affiliate program reviews, etc. Just write stuff about affiliate marketing and making money online, and then link most of those posts back to your review of WA.
Hope this helps!

I had a similar too, Senna. It seems like Kyle edited his version of the Privacy Policy and create custom menus to suit the example website. The template should be more than enough for most websites getting started. You might want to add on some sections, depending on the type of business that you are trying to create.

Just go into the Training section at the left of your screen.
Probably your best bet is to then start on Level 1 of the Online Entrepreneur Certification course, of which there are 10 lessons.
By the end of lesson 4 you'll know exactly how to get your website up and running.
Good luck,

Hi Guys! So here I am with a music brand "Acoustic Attack" (You can find on Youtube).
Now the problem I was finding while trying to figure out how to monetize it is I am not a musician. I don't play instruments and i don't sing. I don't want to be writing articles to become an authority about music because...well im not.
But what I have done is help musicians think of ways to build their brand and maximize more revenue streams by considering more ways to make money online. But the only thing I've helped them with was merchandise.
After starting this training now Im thinking that maybe I should figure out how to promote affiliate marketing to struggling musicians?
Any advice about how to evolve this idea?

I'm not full of ideas at the moment, but I would say as someone with a lot of friends in the music industry: Musicians are often hurting for cash, so saving a buck always helps. Affiliate marketing has very low startup costs so I think it might be a good point worth mentioning.

Hi there, Ryan! Working with musicians can be tricky, especially if you aren't a musician. But luckily, I trust that you have enough experience in your industry to present your knowledge in many ways.
Since your expertise is in photography and videography, you can use Acoustic Attack as a case study example to showcase how you helped to build their brand leveraging eCommerce?
If you are going to focus on struggling musicians, what is the genre of music and how does your expertise (photography/videography)
help them to hone their craft?
After visiting your YouTube channel, I came up with this idea.
- Create a website dedicated to indie music fans teaching them how to leverage their online presence using professional, high-quality videography.
You can niche it down even further if you choose. You don't have to rely on wordy articles for all your blogs because videography is your expertise. Position yourself as an expert in teaching videography or photography to "struggling musicians" to increase their brand awareness online and offline.
Let me know if this helps you in your brainstorming.

Hi Winnie! I'm glad that I helped bring some clarity to your niching process. Your positioning for your brand depends on the ideal audience that you want to attract. Knowingly, your personal identity isn't going to be completely separate from your business, especially if you are the face of the brand.
Since you've mentioned self-discovery, I assume that you want to build an online business as a personal brand. If that's the case, your audience must understand your story, your personal journey and how the beauty industry has influenced you as a person to build an online business on this topic.
Even if you decide to build an online business as a personal brand, your business goal and your personal journey must communicate the same story to your audience.
Example: Ellen Degeneres = Kindness | Oprah = Inspiration

Hi there, Rebaone! There are A LOT of "internet marketing gurus" and "online marketing gurus" to go around. So please, focus on positioning yourself to be different from the pack. :-).
Regardless of what type of online business you are creating, you must remember that YOU are your brand. Your personal identity is never completely separate from your businesses. Yes, your business has an ideal person in mind that you are communicating your message to but it is YOU that your people connect with, not your logo or your fancy copy.
The most successful marketers in the world understand that tapping into emotions is what attracts and keeps attention online and offline. So if your ideal audience is "work from home parents" (I fit into this category), think about their daily lives and how can your expertise in affiliate marketing best serve them.
How can Wealthy Affiliate help work-from-home parents achieve their ideal lifestyle? What do you know to get them one step closer?

I've been learning a lot of things about online marketing from WA, but I also have been working on educating myself on gaining the skills and experience required to be an entrepreneur or possibly a CEO of my own business in the future. My dream is to run a business that improves the lives of people and the ecosystem through advancements in technology, science, medicine, labor, social behavior, etc..
My business education will be completely self-taught, although I'm still contemplating taking online courses. I bought this book called "MBA: Mastering the Art of Business," which is a self-help guide on learning business without getting a college degree. I want people to follow my journey into becoming a great business leader and I want to somehow incorporate that into a niche that promotes Wealthy Affiliate.
I'm having a hard time deciding what niche or brand direction I should choose involving my business education plans. Does anyone have any ideas as to what direction I should take?

Hey Jay - good to have you here man, I think you're going to go a long way. My mum had Motor Neurone Disease so I have an idea of the hell you're going through.
Right, you've got some ideas but you're not sure of the direction you want to go in.
You've given some clues: "advancements in technology, science, medicine, labor, social behavior etc." - let's say you were stuck in a hospital lift with one of the Shark Tank investors - which topic could/would you talk about in such a way that they would find interesting?
If you can choose one then that's the direction you'll be wanting to take - you know the subject (or you want to know more about it), you're confident enough to talk about it and you can talk about it in a way to keep complete strangers interested.
Hope that helps bud - give me a message if you want any more help
Have a great day
