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 Back Office - Full Look Around
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 two 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.

To promote WA, I want to target people who are frustrated with the economy and are desperate to break out of the modern economic servitude they are in, which is the majority of people on the planet, including me. I want to study ways for struggling people to get out of the rat race. What do you think about this still-a-little-vague niche?

Hi! I just have one small question:
I was entering some keywords on Jaaxy and then Googling them. Even though Jaaxy shows low competition for the specific keyword, but when enter it in Google, it finds 10s or even 100s of millions of results, which looks kind of discouraging.
Would Jaaxy be the tool to trust? I'm just wondering if I have chances of making my post anywhere on the first page (or first 2-3 pages) on Google. Because according to Jaaxy, the keyword that I targeted has QSR < 100, while Google gives me 10s of millions of results for that keyword search.

Alright, so basically we should do what we've learned in the past lessons. First we need to build trust on our website. To do so we need to get as many comments and shares on our website as possible. It's also recommended to go over SEO trainings made by Jay (check live video classes to find replays).
That's what I could find.
Feeling relieved now...

From my understanding, when you research a keyword in Jaaxy the 'competiton' means the number of web pages that have that exact keyword in the TITLE. when you search Google, the results show every instance that the string of words appears on the WWW, and even if they appear on a page more than once, every occurrence is counted.
By the way, in one of the training sessions I did with Jay, he showed us that when a huge number of results is returned in Google searches, it's not really what it appears to be. if you check deep enough into the pages, you would realize that there are really not that many results. Just to be sure I just seached in Google for 'women's baskeball shoes' and the results showed 4,100,000. However, there are actually only 17 pages with 10 results each, totaling 170.
Hopes this reduces your doubts about keyword searches.

Hi Everyone,
I have already completed the first level of training and am in the process of writing a review for WA within the Bootcamp. I found WA a week ago and am already hooked! I have had a week off work as an HR Advisor and final feel I have found something that will allow me the kind of lifestyle I have always dreamed of!
Basically - I don want to go back to work, but as i am not yet making money, alas I will have to - for now!
Can anyone share with me their experiences and how quickly they managed, and how much time they needed to spend around a full time job getting it off the ground and able to quit their full time job?
Thanks in advance

You can certainly accomplish any level of success online
that you are willing to work for!
Everybody earns money at a different rate, so it really depends on the person. I have actually created a discussion on this that will put things into perspective for you here:
https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/kyle/blog/if-i-work-at-this-8-hours-per-day
Have a read of that, I know it will give you a lot of insight into this exact topic. ;)
The first month is typically your foundation building stage. In order to build a website that earns you consistent revenue, you need this foundation. After this, you are going to start seeing traffic and as you build this out, there are many different ways in which you can generate revenue.
Personally it took me into my 3rd month of busting my butt to make my first dollar online, by month 6 though I was making consistent income and by the year mark, I was almost full time.
But guess what would have happened if I quit during those first two "trying" months. I would not be where I am at today. Just wanted to put things into perspective for you.
I am in this journey with you, so is the community here at WA. If you want to jump in, work hard, take action, and persist. Amazing things can and will happen!

Thank you Kyle. A good read.
I am in it for the long haul and I am not shy of hard work - I enjoy it. I am enjoying this so much that on my week off I have been spending almost 8 hours a day going through the training and building my sites.. !
This is what I want to be doing long term, it’s going to be tough going back to my usual 9 to 5 after this experience but I’ll continue to give this everything and look forward to the day I can kiss the office goodbye! :)

Just really quick thoughts. I would say don't think too hard on it. Start with something, do some keyword google searches to help expand it. As you go along the light bulb will light, I promise!

lol you may have dialled down that niche VERY tightly! Mom's with empty nests and empty retirement funds would have lots of categories that you could include eg divorcees, divorcees who were left for a younger woman, and empty nesters who just want more money to supplement their retirement
maybe start with a free site and when you get writing your posts and doing up your menu you'll see how much you can write in a particular direction

Back again, after 13 months hiatus. But all along I've been learning! It's like deciding to join WA is the equivalent of cracking open the door to this game. It wants to open up all the way, and here I am to see how to take things a step further and hopefully monetize what I've been learning about life, business and online opportunity. Thanks for being here guys - I think I've got a great niche this time...will share soon!

Ok. So I am doing this boot camp, but also doing the other "get started here" program for my own website/niche. That website is targeting home schooling moms. I am looking for help in choosing a target audience for my WA website. I feel like stay at home moms is already too saturated, but maybe not? Or should I specify home school moms again? (we always are looking for ways to make money from home). Or should I pick from the above list? Maybe just stick to something like middle class families who are all struggling nowadays.... I can't decide...

I want to focus on looking for high traffic items that bring in higher commission with fewer traffic. I know it will cost money, I don't have a problem paying more for solid clicks.

Hey everyone.
My mind is also kind of Jammed when it comes to choosing the brand for my self.
But I am more into:
● Fashion and Clothing(Like Vans , Adidas and more clothing)
● Teaching people how to Make money for themselves without depending on any boss ( which is here at WA by referring them)
●Online Business Success
●Travelling without stressing about money . (While they will learn how to make it here)
●Becoming your own Boss without Having to sacricice your mornings for 9/5 work.
So I really don't know which one to start with. So can anybody please cleanse my mind with a piece of advice?

Hi, it sounds like fashion might be your thing, but you should base your direction according to your most passionate interest since you'll need to write a lot about it. If you go with fashion you'd be better with the Entrepreneur Certification course, if you choose helping people make money then this one is your best bet. Keep in mind that any niche site can also promote WA, the right way is taught later. Best wishes!
So i've picked some Target Audiences that interest me in order which are:

So, I worked on the first ten lessons just getting started, and decided to get right into Affiliate Bootcamp lessons.
I'm not sure what to choose for my Brand Direction.
I wanted to market WA, however i'd like to be involved in affiliate marketing with the companies that allow you to do that and make money, also. I'm just getting started, and I "can't connect the dots" just yet to be able to answer their questions when you go to join their affiliate program.
Am I just getting ahead of myself here for right now, this early in the process?
I certainly don't want to skip any steps. Just trying to find out how to start earning while I am still training.
If I'm trying too much too soon, someone please tell me and give me some advice.
Thanks,

I think starting with selling at this stage is not easy. I recommend getting your website some traffic first and some quality content.
The WA affiliate program you can join already and write your first review but other programs like Amazon or JC I would wait for some months.

I kinda figured it'd be too soon for that at this time.
I'm not too spiffy on the computer business yet, but some of the training thus far has given me some good ideas.
So, I'll just keep up the training and I'm thinking as soon as I upgrade to premium, that would open up more ideas as well.

My thought for a direction is helping people generate income that want to live in an RV and travel the continent. I've seen many vague articles one starting your own business but never fleshed out. With the RV industry growing every year, and many living on the road, this seems like a good niche. Does this seem reasonable?

there's certainly a huge audience for RVs globally, check to see what others are doing in this niche and where you think your audience is, also look into affiliate programs for it, google rv affiliate programs see what comes up, then there's all sort of accessories
you are currently in bootcamp though so hop over to the entrepreneur course for this niche, and remember to use the free sites to start off the training while you consider your niche Getting Rolling!

I really need help setting my direction because I have changed niches so many times in the last 4 months trying to see what I can do well and what makes money. Well I haven't done either for anything I have done so far. I haven't even been able to finish any of the 7 websites I've started because Wordpress is just so darn hard! I like the internet marketing niche, but feel so put off by it right now because I have fallen into so many scams. But something that I really like is technology: having the latest gadgets, the incredible creativity that goes into building software and apps. I love the company Apple for its philosophy of innovation and freedom and creativity. And basically what I want to do is to create or find things that help make people's lives easier. This can be technology or something that I found on amazon the other day that is an alarm clock in a rug that won't turn off until you get up from bed. Those are the kind of products that I love to find and would love to share with people to make their lives easier. So is that a direction? Finding and creating products to make people's lives easier?

Actually, I think every new product should somehow make peoples life easier.
Our websites as well should be in the end something helping people find a solution for problems that make their life hard.
I am afraid if you really tried 7 different niches in six months you will not be able to see any success.
I'm on my third now during a year but now I want to stick to it for at least 12 months.
I think I already see better results after three months than with the first one.
Of course, the choice of a good niche is very important.
I think the new niche you chose can be a success if you stick with it. You can do that if you are passionate about it and keep working even you don't see any money results right away.

The best way to find Your actual niche is to find your Target Audience. Because this way you will aim your content to the group of people you wish to give value to. Value is a powerful key factor in making success in life overall.
This can also be seen as the "Golden Circle effect". - What - How - Why.
The Target Audience training can be found here: Target Audiences for Wealthy Affiliate And was originally posted in Phase 1 / Lesson 3.
Let me know if you have trouble to grasp the concept (because I sure did!)
Lastly, good luck with your endeavours,

have you thought of doing youtube reviews on the products that excite you?
your reason for not doing the internet marketing niche didn't add up for me - you've fallen into so many scams, but you are not in a scam now and you've got great past experience so sounds like you have research done already in this but it doesn't actually excite you? Best to go with what you love. Btw @RICH failed in a bunch of niches starting off but was making $100k a month a few years later, so it's not about failing to find a perfect niche in the beginning...give yourself time to go through the training
keep asking questions on wordpress, it will click and seem easy at some point

My site tommysteam.com is not a WordPress site.
I believe to be successful.......that it really doesn't matter...right...
Also, I haven't made the money as stated in the above time frame but I believe I know why. For every post there should be a follow up with a review of a product or service...right...

You can be successful with a website, of any type. It doesn't have to be Wordpress, but you will gain access to all of the features available here if it is.
One thing that you will want to avoid is the preloading screen on every page, that can adversely impact the rankings on your website.

Hey everyone, I have an issue regarding the All in One SEO plugin... Maybe I'm missing something, but I'm positive I installed it and I'm not seeing it under the dashboard button. I also went and searched for it in my plugins page and it's not showing up anywhere at all.
I tried to re-download it by searching for the plugin in the search bar, but it takes me to a page that explains only premium members can add new plugins.
How can I resolve this?

The All In One SEO plugins should already be installed by default to all the websites here at WA.
Just for clarification, In your WordPress editor, navigate to Plugins then Installed Plugins.
If you don't see it listed there then, as a starter member, you would have to delete the site and create a new one.
To delete the site, go to the SiteRubix SiteManager, click the details button then scroll all the way to the bottom and you will see the delete button there.

Go to your plugins page and see if all in one shows up there. If it does, make sure it is activated. Once activated it should show up under the dashboard.

It doesn't matter if your post title is the not same as your keywords, right?
I come think because you input keywords in the SEO settings.
I tried to search online using the keywords I like but the number one site shown doesn't have the same title as the keywords I typed in google.

Hi Frank, your keyword does not necessarily have to be in your title verbatim (exactly) but you must definitely use it in the meta description when you do the SEO settings.
Do a test for yourself. When you type in a search on Google and you see that the title doesn't have the same keyword that you typed in you will notice that it is somewhere in the description just below the title.
Also if you do a search and you put your keyword in " " this will usually yield the exact results.
All the best,
Brian

Okay, I'll explain further. For my site to have the feel I want, I will need team members (part of the community here at WA) with pictures, perhaps testimonials and a LOT more knowledge to guide new members
. Obviously, new members will have all I wish I could put on my site when they join WA. I guess I will just have to learn enough about WA, informational wise, to sell my site.
What sold me was my drive. Not everybody thinks this way.
Make sense?

I have just finished my first 2 sites, after much, aggravation. That is to say, it's quite early for me to think about that. Just to answer, I would like at least 200 to start within one month of launching my site......

I say don't overcomplicate things for yourself in the beginning or get hung up on a website domain name. Just choose anything that you believe describes what you'll be talking about and put it on there. Or you could put 'your name...' and whatever you'll be talking about. For example: 'Nick-makesmoneyonline.com' etc.
You won't be just making one website or business in your entire affiliate/internet marketing career. The quicker you get out there and start seeing how things are done the more motivated you'll be to keep going.

I would avoid using "-" in your domain name, but yes, great advice here.
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. :)

I want my niche to be living life positively , lots of quotes and speakers (may even be able to promote some speakers/authors products later) i want my website to attract the attention of those whose life isnt working out the way they planned, this will allow me to campaign on various platform etc ie unemployed, new mums not wanting to go back to work people looking for "something" i was thinking of my brand being "THRIVE"

I think you are going in the right direction but its still a little too broad. You said "living life positively" and "isn't working out the way they planned". How isnt it working out the way they planned? In what? Do they need to get out of debt? Do they hate their job?
And if it's going to be specifically about 'making money online' then THRIVE is too broad because the term literally means abundance in everything. Somebody thriving is enjoying abundance in ALL life areas. Maybe something like 'NewMomsMakeMoney'? That's more niche specific and geared toward promoting WA. You could literally just slap a WA banner on the first page and show new moms how to make money from home.
And if you want to expand in the future to go more broad you could always do that. New Moms need diapers, baby bottles, baby formula etc. With their newfound online incomes they could now purchase these products/services from your new links promoting affiliate products all mom-related.

I'm thinking of promoting a book I wrote on line, published through Author House, which I believe are just a bunch of money hungry people who would publish gibberish to make a buck. Buck that's besides the point. the point is could I promote my book through my own web sight and then sell it on line. Just a thought I had. Of course I had it copy written before I went to them. Maybe I could get someone thoughts on this Idea.

Yes you can definitely promote your book along with many other things through your website.
What you promote at the end of the day is completely up to you, we are first going to be focusing on building out and establishing your brand/authority, and then from there we are going to be focusing on getting traffic,
Once you have traffic (people) coming to your website, the sky is the limit.

There are many great niche ideas for promoting WA. You can run with a more common niche idea that is related to 'make money online' but there are many ways to narrow this down and many unique niche ideas that are perfect for promoting WA.
This article will give you some cool ideas: Target Audiences for Wealthy Affiliate Yep, you want to choose a specific name for your website. In terms of choosing your site name/ domain name, I recommend going with something 'brandable'. Something that makes sense to your audience so they know what your site is about, and something that is memorable.
Hope this helps!

Hi, I personally would go somewhat generic on the name, as long as it is brandable and memorable; I like to think short and catchy like Apple.com, which has nothing to do with computers. The reason is, there are many possible target audiences in the "make money" niche, such as young college students, stay at home parents, retirees, etc. Although you'd want to start narrow, there's no reason not to tackle them all as your authority site grows. Best wishes!

I say forget about the idea of it being flawless and just go for something you like and break it down to it being niche specific. You might have to do a little brainstorming and choose several...narrowing it down to the one you like most with what you feel will give the best results.
And don't get so hung up on the website name. Honestly it could just be your name and whatever you'll talk about in the title. People want good content. If your content gives them an answer to their problem they couldn't care less about your website name. Just make sure it gives a clear description of what you're talking about though.

Well, if you're "branding", what do you think will be memorable?
I chose my domain name by thinking of my website's purpose or overall result.
Since you're helping the public, what does your customer want to have. They want to "have" something which is why they read your blog or came to your site.
I think it's to be some kind of brand recognition. You can start with a symbol and then, name it.
These are my only ideas, so far. My friend wrote a book on Branding, but I haven't read it, yet.

Hello everyone, I am new to WA and have no experience with online marketing (or any marketing for that matter).

Focus on just ONE website and create success with that before diversifying and creating multiple niche websites.
It only takes ONE website in one niche to be very successful online. I usually find that folks that try to do too much at once (focus on several niche websites) end up in a state of mediocrity because it can be overwhelming and you don't really ever become the expert in just one niche.
It is the experts (specialists) that create long term, successful businesses in any niche.

I have a question about the "Your Initial Framework Of Content" part of this training. I was wondering why we aren't recommended to use the "Auto Terms of Service and Privacy Policy" WordPress plugin that does this for you. Is it just because starter members cannot install WordPress plugins, or is there a good reason not to use this plugin that I am unaware of? I am planning on using this after I upgrade, unless there is some reason not to. Thank you all!

Ideally, you want to use as few plugins as possible since they can seriously bog down your site (make it run/load slower). So it's always good practice to find other solutions to simple stuff like this where possible.

With the right knowledge and a lot of hard work you can really turn this into something. With every passing video, I believe a little more...
I would like to ask though, the countdown for Vegas, does it count every time someone signs up for premium? Like if for some reason everyone just signed up for the $19 and then quit after the first month, would that count? Just trying to understand fully, because I really want to go on that trip!

So I love Gardening and using Essential Oil's. Those are the 2 that I have chosen to start with....Weather is another one but I am going hang back on that one for a little bit. The ideas for the others are easier. I am thinking I may need to change my site name....not the address as it is a thing. See I have 2 sites already built for both of these....but I want to make the 2 here kinda like sister sites. Where links from the other site points to these for an expansion on the information provided. Just about all of my current sites start with honeybee...it's the meaning of Melissa in Greek. So I am just trying to see if this is a good idea....

In fact, you chose a very competitive niche and a strongly promoted product.

I believe there is always a way to be better than everyone else but for sure you'll need time to learn and get an authority in the niche.
I'd suggest you break down the niche a bit. MMO is in fact very very much floated on the internet.

Hi gnag, remember their is 3.5 billion on line looking for products and services. They say with marketing it takes a person about 7 times to be exposed to something before they decided to make a decision. So, a person may come across several affiliate programs before they come to your web-site while they decided to check it out and kick the tires. It is a numbers game. As you grow in your skills, your website will take on it's own personality that complements you. People are joining you and want to make a connection that speaks to them. Something in your story and how you project yourself to your audience will click that a person will make that choice to hop aboard.
There are so many other niches, you may want to diversify with other niches. When your ready as you learn your skills, and what you can afford in your marketing cost as you put back your investment back into your business. It will start paying for itself at some point.
For example, when you go into a store, a customer has several choices to buy items but all the profits go back to the store. The store will look at the numbers and make adjustments how to market some of the products that are not moving as fast. This is what your learning. Start with one product and as your confidence grows and the numbers look good to you then your ready add another and another then make adjustments.
It all boils down how much time, energy and expenses can you afford without spreading yourself too thin and staying focus. The WA program has done most of the hard work for you since they provide the training, tools and know how. No need to reinvent the wheel.
Hope that helps a little. Best of luck.

Optimize your site using the training here at WA. You will find that your posts rise to the top of the rankings fairly quickly.
There are very few places on the internet that teach what you are learning here. There are certainly some keywords that will be difficult to rank for but most of the low hanging fruit keywords will rank readily enough.
The exception, of course, is the MMO niche. (make money online) In this niche, the competition knows what they are doing.

Hi Anielka56, So lets think a little more outside the box. There are 3.5 billion people on the internet looking for various products and services and growing every day. We are talking about the world not a local market that your confined to. For example, in your field as a real estate agent the market can be competitive and saturated in a high demand area. Although, people are moving all the time for various reasons which makes your local market go up and down.
There is something like 1 million with WA at different levels in their journey. Some will procrastinate, some will do nothing other then a lot of thinking, some will get sidetracked and quite. Just human nature. A good example might be The Parable of the Sower in the Bible. Read Mark 4:1-20. This is what people do when given an opportunity. So how bad do you want your dream on this journey? Any journey has it's ups and downs as you go forward to succeed in your dream while you continue to persevere. This is a great community to get support and cheer you on in your journey.

I am not sure if WA Certification course has any lesson in the training about that. If it have, I guess I have missed it. Please, if you know anything, please, let me know. Thank you so much!
Warmly!

You never want to upload a video directly on your website, rather upload it to Youtube first, and then embed it on your site. This way your site will load faster and you will also benefit from all of the traffic that Youtube gets.
Here is some training on how to embed a youtube video. Embed YouTube Video in WordPress

Aaaaaghhhh my brand..........what to do, so many choices. Ok so I'm passionate about lots of things including health & nutrition, repurposing, recycling, helping others and always getting value for money in everything, so I'm assuming if you are passionate about something you'll work at it and have a fair amount of knowledge to help you. Am I on the right track or is it back to the drawing board?

You're lucky to have so many choices and interests. I suggest choose one which you feel you have lots of information to share because relevant posts will bring you lots of traffic and the monetary reward later. Good luck!

I think you do. You'll be the judge of that. No matter how much competition is out there, it will always be room for more business. It's a lot of people in this world. You can also do research and find out about another field on the same subject that can be explored. Health and wellness is also my niche, but believe me, you can break it up in other subjects that will have a lot to do concerning Health and Wellness, or Personal Care, Nutrition... Or House Care, etc...You name it.
Research is very important.You see, Health and Wellness,... Being my niche, I still promote apparel, accessories, etc... It keeps going, it is always room for more subjects and more and more! It is no end. You are the one who decides when it's time to stop. As long it's harmony, it's ok. Really, I would say that my real niche is Natural Approach, organic, chemicals free choices, that is the title of my website. The niche can be stretched as far as you want it. As long as it makes sense, and you don't contradict yourself. I can even sell appliances if I want too. Really, I am promoting furniture also. As long as the material that was made, it was natural, organic.
I am sorry, I guess I have got carried away. I hope I was of some help. I am doing the best I can with a profession that nowadays, are on demand. I still believe that there is enough for everyone. We just have to work hard. Knowledge is a plus. The more you know, the more you succeed. Try always to keep yourself informed, and study all you need. We are well because information is at your fingertips, indeed.

Hi all,
At this point (just getting started), I don't know what to make my niche. I guess when you first start, this seems to be an issue for a lot of people.
I understand you could change your niche later, too.
Did I understand this correctly?
If the niche is an interest, I guess you could dive into more than one area of interest, couldn't you?
Thanks for all the help for the new kid on the block!!

A niche can honestly be anything, what are you passionate about? What are you interested in?
When deciding on a niche and trying to narrow down to a more specific niche, I recommend you ask yourself the following question:
I want to help people that ______________.
Fill in the blank and you are going to be much closer to a specific audience. After you do this and if you want to run any further ideas by me, let me know and I will give you a hand. :)
You could change your niche down the road, and you can eventually build several different businesses within different niches (which is quite normal once you get the formula down).
You just don't want to try to do too much when starting out, focus on just one niche, make a success of that before you diversify. ;)

I have two questions:
1. I want to finish the Bootcamp, but I am able also to go back to the "Get Started Here section" and do that training too?
2. For my brand direction I am thinking that I want to "help people become self employed entrepreneurs."
My Brand is "My Time! My Life" Or My Dime. I think it sounds corny,

You can do both pieces of training as you please.
If you want to promote WA it is the Bootcamp training that is more specific to this.

Hi, it sounds like bootcamp is where your focus should be, but, at some point you definitely want to get acquainted with the certification course, specially because your prospects will need your support when headed that way. I do like your brand, only I would consider substituting "my" for "your;" people care more about what's in it for them. Cheers!

I've been trying to narrow this down and this is where I am at, so far. I am a fitness and personal trainer. I have always been focused on healthy eating and a mindful lifestyle. I am quasi retired, but still actively pursuing that extra income that make life's luxuries that much more attainable. I thinking that my niche will be helping people make healthy lifestyle changes over the age of 45.
Does anyone think this is too broad a choice? Your thoughts you would be much appreciated.

Hi, it is broad, but not so much you couldn't cover it on one site; however, it's recommended to go narrow in the beginning, so you could break it down into categories and choose to focus on one at first, then later add another and so on. Just make sure your domain and site name are generic enough to accommodate whichever direction you go later. Hope that helps!

Hi Phillisy,
I guess I'd ask you at this point what healthy lifestyle changes you think are needed, and what you feel most passionate about. Also what lifestyle changes would you feel motivated to focus on most? I think you can narrow it down, you could focus, for example, on fruits that increase metabolism, healthy fats and how they help with weight maintenance, and the top ten foods to avoid. These are just a few examples. Hope that helps.

Good day everyone,
I have been thinking about a niche for my WA referral business and thought I might focus on online entrepreneur programs. Should I dumb it down a bit and just use online business programs or entrepreneur programs or does it really matter? Thanks for you comments in advance.

Hello bspmedic,
I'll share what works for me when doing something online: the purpose is to make some money, then you have to sell anything.
1º Find out what you are very good at doing
2º Investigate in goolgle if what you do there are people who need it.
3º What needs will you be covering with what you know how to do?
4º Look for an application to solve this need.
If you want to focus on entrepreneurs, this is great,
Do you know what challenges are the entrepreneurs?
In the case of a local business or one online, you have to find customers to have sales.
then what your entrepreneur needs is people / traffic, many people looking at your storefront, whether virtual or physical.
How to attract them?
find out what they need and what challenges they face on a daily basis so you do not need to sell, they will come looking for solutions,
this is the trick
end.
I want you to do very well in WA, let me know if you need more tips, in my blog I have some ideas
my best advice is:
listen in the forums that people complain, and focus on solutions,
I am also a beginner in WA but an expert in offline sales,

I already have an existing Wordpress site and blog. Can I uses this with Premium as it now but make use of the SEO and Jaxxy? Also, In the Affiliate Bootcamp Lessons 2-10 and the regular Courses (under the Premium membership), can you learn how to create funnels for your personal business, master affiliate marketing with Amazon, your personal business related You Tube, own websites and/ or other companies also?

My niche is women with add/adhd who have had issues staying employed because of it. I want to promote Wealthy Affiliate as a tool to help them move away from the typical job cycle and into blogging about whatever interests them and getting into affiliate marketing as a viable option. But I’m not necessarily wanting to do comparative reviews Of other companies versus WA. I just want to present WA as a gateway to a different way of making an income vs the regular 9-5 job or going on disability. Any opinions on that????

Hi Joana, I think that is an awesome niche that you want to approach. I definitely think that you will have plenty of scope to introduce others to WA without necessarily having to do comparative reviews.
If you do want to make any comparisons you could possibly present the social element as a draw card.
All the best with your great idea.

I'm on lesson 2 in bootcamp and I need to choose my brand. The tutorial is just for promoting the WA affiliate program. I have two other sites started, (two big interests i want to promote first) but I only have my" about me" post finished.
I'm confused, is this lesson 2 just training using the affiliate program as an example, or can I use my already started sites? If I brand WA, I will need to create another post, right? Am i missing something, or did the lessons skip completing a page? I would think I would need a complete, published blog before I can begin promoting it? Totally confused on the direction I am going!
Someone please set me in the right direction.

Hey J Willard, It's best you put your focus on 1 site as you go through the content and learn to set up everything. :-)
About me page is first,
next up is your privacy policy page, but everything is explained in the tutorials.
After you done that, make a disclaimer and if you need an ex, check on the footer of other sites in the same niche you are in. :-)
When you have finished that, you can start adding pages, like travel, or lifestyle, or contact me etc...
I hope this helps you out a little. Have an awesome day. :-)

Hi Jean, I recommend you to focus on your sites of your interest first, preferably focus on only one, if you build too many websites you will be confused.
I recommend you to Forget the Bootcamp for now, focus on your sites when they are established and become successful, then you can do Bootcamp if you wish.
Cheers
Anis

Andrew, I had this trouble. I think what I did was go into SiteBuilder and select free domain (assuming you are doing a siterubix one). For item 2 Choose the Domain Name, I typed in the name I had already started. This got me to it.
Now I hope my memory is right! Just remember nothing you do is permanent until you save it. So just do a trial.
