OK, awesome. You now have your target audience, in other words, the direction for your brand chosen. That is great and don't worry about this not being "perfect" at this point, as you move forward the pieces of the puzzle are going to come together.
Starting with a big PIECE today, your website. We are going to be taking our brand/audience idea and building out a website.
Building a Website Ain't Scary, It's FUN!
Building a website sounds like a "scary" process, but fortunately you have access to the most advanced, yet simplistic website platform in the world here at Wealthy Affiliate. We pride ourselves as a technology company here at Wealthy Affiliate and we are the industry leaders in the website development space.
I am not going to toot our horn any longer, I would rather you experience the website builder and platform for itself. The first step today is going to be building your website, which will literally take you less than 30 seconds.
Click the SiteBuilder link within the menu, and you are going to be ready to rock here (and complete the next task).
Below I have included a video walking you through the SiteRubix platform here at WA and showing you how quickly and efficiently you can build a website here at Wealthy Affiliate.
DISCUSS VIDEO: Building Your Website in 30 Seconds, Literally
Task 1: Building Your Website
Your website is your foundation of your business. It is where all of your traffic is ultimately going to come to, where you are going to build brand and trust within the industry, and where you can promote products/services and generate revenue!
The SiteBuilder platform here at WA is the most simplistic, yet advanced in the industry. It is going to less than 30 seconds to get a full operational, profit ready Wordpress website up and running online.
There are 4 steps in the website build process, that I am going to walk you through here. To access the SiteBuilder and EVERYTHING related to your website, you will simply click the light blue "SiteRubix" button in the main menu.
Step 1: Choose the Kind of Website
There are really TWO options here, on a FREE website or on your OWN domain. Ideally, you will have your own domain, but that can come with time.
You can "register" your very own domains right within Wealthy Affiliate using our state of the art SiteDomains platform, which will allow you to instantly set-up your own domain for your own use.
If you are just starting out as a Starter member, you will be building a website on the .siterubix.com domain, which is a completely free website. You can build and host up to 2 FREE websites as a Starter.
As a Premium member, you can build and host up to 25 free websites and the ability to create 25 sites on your own domains (total 50 websites). That is more than adequate to drive many multi-million dollar businesses over time.
For the sake of this training, we are going to be choosing "On a free domain".
Do know that within the Premium membership, you can easily MOVE a free .siterubix.com button to a registered domain (one you may own) using the "Premium Only" MOVE feature. So by all means start off with a free website.
Step 2: Choose a Domain
Remember last lesson when I chose my "brand". In this step, I am going to be placing my brand name into the "domain name" field. This is because this will be my website URL and my brand moving forward.
As you can see below, I have added my brand "real deal affiliate" into the domain field.
When you type in your domain, it will let you know if it is available or not. In my case it was, but if your first choice is not available simply do another search until you find a domain name that works for you.
You cannot put spaces in your domain name, hence why my domain is "realdealaffiliate".
Step 3: Choose a Website Name
The name of your website should match your domain, but it just needs to be grammatically correct (with proper spacing). You can see below my example of this:
Domain: realdealaffiliate.siterubix.com
Title: Real Deal Affiliate
It is as simple as that. Don't overthink this step, your title will be the same as your domain.
Step 4: Choose a Design
The last step is choosing a "look" for your theme. As a Starter member you will have access to 12, hand picked quality designs.
As a Premium member, you will have access to over 2,464 designs (as shown below) on your website. These are referred to as "Themes".
Choose a design that you like.
Click on the design you like, and then you will be able to build your site.
SiteRubix, a Next Level Website and Hosting Platform.
You are going to notice that there are many other website features allocated within the SiteRubix menu. I don't want to eat up too much of your time here, but it is important that you understand the incredible benefits of the SiteRubix platform.
The powerful hosting you have access to here is unparalleled in the Managed Wordpress hosting industry. We truly specialize here in providing a secure, robust and FAST platform for you to run your website.
We know that your website IS your business, and it is important that you have the most advanced technology to keep your business operating at 100% at all times of the day.
The following are just some of the powerful features included within the SiteRubix platform here at WA.
- SiteManager (Starter & Premium)
- SiteContent (Starter & Premium)
- SiteBuilder (Starter & Premium)
- SiteDomains (Starter & Premium)
To make your sites secure and fast, we have some SiteRubix EXCLUSIVE technologies to make sure your websites are operating at lightening speeds, but also in a very secure way that protects you from hackers, spammers, and all forms of erroneous attacks.
- SiteSpeed (Premium Only)
- SiteProtect (Premium Only)
- SiteSSL (Premium Only)
- SiteComments (Premium Only)
- SiteFeedback (Premium Only)
- SiteSupport (Premium Only)
There you have it, the low down of the SiteRubix platform and you have your website officially up and running online. Exciting stuff. As we move forward within the training we are going to be building out your website content, and working to get indexed and ranked in Google (and do so for free).

Hi guys, I've started to build a site around cooking and fitness where I plan to promote cooking books, appliances and pretty much most thing related to home cooking (with health and fitness in mind).
To promote WA should I have a complete separate website or would it work as part of my cooking website with a "here's how to take back control of your time so you can cook" kind of message?
Thank you guys for any inputs!

Hi Gael, yes you can also promote WA if niche that is not related to "make money online". However, the conversion is usually lower because the visitors are not going to your site with the intent of making money online.

I think this is great niche because i myself will follow it im always looking for new gadgets to make my cooking experience easier as well as new recipes being the foody that i am. but also to incorporate exercise with this it might actually give me some encouragement to get off my rear so to speak and be more active. Koodos to you!

My niche is "get out of debt on your own" or "get out on your own" or "how to move out of your parents house" all of them have awesome keywords with great and no competition. I thought about "Real Enterprise" to catch the Star Trek loving crowd. And my name happens to be Kirk. What do you think?

My niche can be very broad. I kinda like that then I don't have to hone in on one style or cuisine. I want explore Kitchen equipment ,recipes, ingredients, how food is processed around the world, Sanitation sustainability of food in world's food supply. Do you have any suggestions, I'm very open to comments and training.
KimberleyR

You have a broad list of topics above. Each one, really, could be a niche. I suggest you narrow down to start - maybe with kitchen equipment as it would be fairly easy to monetize. I only suggest this because it will be harder to get your website ranked as an authority site if you start too general. You can always add pages and subdomains later, or use the other topics as post ideas.

This video helped remove a lot of the fog from keyword research. The Jaxxy tool is fantastic! I was able to generate more than 5 potentially useful keywords that I will be able to develop content for.
I have already watched the video twice, and expect that I will repeat watching to have get a good foundation in keyword research and how to benefit from it as I continue to grow in affiliate marketing.

Your niche ideas are definitely viable directions for your niche. You need to choose one when starting out, what are you most passionate about?
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. :)

I'm having trouble settling on one "Target Audience". In fact, I'm not so sure I want to limit my campaign to only one audience. So is the answer to have multiple sites, or can I use the same site and target multiple audiences.
I'm kind of stuck here and don't know how to go forward.

Hi Steve,
Target audience does not meant small group of people.
Example: if your audience are people who are looking to make money online, there are specific people you can be targeting:
- retirees who are looking to earn extra income
- college student who want to pay their study loan
- single moms / dads
- people who are 9-5 job and not earning enough
Hope you get the idea.

I do believe you can still open multiple sites that are linked or independent depending on what your goal and objective is. For example I am in the health care field. My niche is sickle cell anemia, cancer and workplace wellness. I hope to publish information for different people related to the above topics. And since I can have upto 50 sites through WA as a premium member I will try to utilize this chance. This is great.

Third time is the charm but in this case it’s the second time as the charm so, no, I will not be attending the 2019 Las Vegas Conference because I am starting from scratch. This year will be a do or die scenario for affiliate marketing for me this year. 2018 was a failed effort on my part. If I do not get it right this year. I will not return for 2020.

Thank you. I’m currently on lesson 7 - Bootcamp. I did have a website through WordPress and not through the Wealthy Affiliate site manager and got caught up on a malware attack. Had to call Apple support for support. They took care of it by doing a backup and could not find any malware in the system. It only happened because I did not create through site content. Wealthy Affiliate is really the best way to go. A lesson learned and appreciated.

I would like to target those individuals who for whatever reason cannot have a regular full-time job. I think I would like my main focus to be people with chronic illnesses or disabilities that mean they can't get a regular income however it would also include stay-at home parents or those who have retired.

Excellent areas to hit. I myself have Bipolar, and bad social anxiety since my nervous breakdown plus bone spurs in my back and neck that are inoperable and cause severe nerve pinching when they cause flare-ups in the tissues and such around them. The big selling point for me was that it was a business I could not only do but with my time to study I could do well at. That's why I returned to it after my breakdown instead of to the workforce that helped get me there.

I'll choose a wider branding such as "getting rich" or "make money online".
I guess if you are comfortable with a broader brand, and if you can provide content for it, it's nice to have a wide branding.
What is your option: a broad or narrow brand (like affiliate marketing)?

I will promote WA to people like me that hate to work 7-16 every day, without a degree, but still capable and knowledgeable enough to make it here. I will do my site in Swedish at first I think but I don't know yet for sure. Its hard to research in other languages because the services aren't as great as jaaxy. If someone knows how to use Jaaxy with other languages, please let me know.

Since you can write in English too, why don't you create a multi language site and reach more people instead of limiting your site to those who know Swedish.

In any niche, you always room to have your fair share of the market. Of course there are competitive niche but there are always sub niches within that niche that you can enter and be different from others. When you are talking about affiliate marketing + free traffic, you have to be ready to spend a lot of time initially to build up your site. Even you create your site in Swedish only. With a bit investment, there are plugin that can translate your Swedish site to English almost automatically. Definitely this is possible - just don't limit your thinking.
All the best.

I can relate, I used to be in a similar situation. So many people know exactly where you're coming from and your story would definitely resonate with them.
As for the niche showing people a way out of their day jobs for an online experience. It's a great one but very competitive. But don't let that stop you mate, there are a million and one ways to push your message home.
In order to achieve success you have to be resilient in your desired space, so go for it.
I'd recommend talking to people in your immediate circle about your online venture, friends etc, about what you're set out to achieve, this can even lead to potential clients.
Good luck mate.

As someone who is disabled my target audience will be others who are also facing physical and mental challenges, as well as their caregivers. Very few families with a disabled member have sufficient income so I believe this will be a good audience.
However, a few months ago I wrote a blog post about earning income online and did not get any comments. I question if this was just the fact I have a small readership or if I have selected the wrong audience--at least to begin with. Or, if it was my approach to the subject--something I hope to remedy through this course.
I appreciate any insights fellow WA members have.

Like you said, good keywords for promoting WA have been used probably millions of times.
What I tend to do in my campaigns is target the same audience but with slightly different worded keywords such as.
-Passive income ideas for 2018
-Part time online jobs/hustles that can earn you $$$ per month.
-Online jobs to substitute your income
Just to name a few, these are all variations of the same thing. Affiliate marketing/making money online etc.
Hope this gets your creative juices flowing.

You have the right idea, most baby products compliment each other and being a mum yourself you know exactly what your target audience needs and wants are.
As for the name of your site, make it your own, something that says you're a mum proud to be helping other mums. If I was a mum I'd resonate with that.
Ok I think I may have said mum too much. Good luck

Thanks for the lesson, it was loud and crystal clear even though I had a little bit of difficulty with my content having a lot of "my" which needed to be changed to "by", and when I did change them to the suggested word , the whole sentence made no sense at all. So I had to reconstruct the whole sentence. Nevertheless, I made it at the end of the day, and Google indexed my "About Me" page.

So what I do is go back and review or restart my video. This usually help me. I hope it helps you. Let me know if I can help with anything. I will follow you!
God bless you and your family,

Hi @Kyle
I followed this through verbatim and when I looked through the source code at the end - I couldn't see the text that I had added to the "Home Title" and "Home Description" within General Settings.
I did update the options at the bottom of the All in One SEO.
Is this a problem?
Any help is appreciated.

Hello Kyle The content you wrote in the video training, will you send the content you wrote to me in my email? I would like to study it more I am not planning to use it. I just fill I can learn from it. Thanks PS Thanks for the community God Bless

You can copy and paste that content if you want to use it. We don't send content here to email, but you are in full control of whatever format works best for your content consumption (education).
I just started here and I am not sure that the direction I am contemplating on heading even has a niche market. As I am very interested in the food industry I wanted to do something related to the different food cultures. At the same time I am also very invested in things like the Doomsday vault and De-extinction and wanted to go towards in that direction. Any suggestions on how I should go about this is very welcome.
hello and welcome
what I would do if I'm understanding what you are saying is that I would start small and when you get the hang of it, then you will have room to grow and build.
So I would just start out with the food and beverage industry and watch it grow then move onto the next task.

This is great training!
I created a site and a niche that im 100% focused on. Now reading this, I'm thinking about promoting WA on my site.
My question is, could you combine an entirely different niche (electronics) website already set up and promote WA?
Or
Would it just be wise to build an entirely new site from the ground up and promote WA through there?
Thanks

You never want to combine different niches into ONE website, and you should avoid trying to manage a bunch of different websites when starting out.
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.

Hi Rich,
Regardless of where you purchase a domain name, you will always be able to "point" that domain to your hosting. This will always be the case, no matter where either was purchased.
If you upgrade, you will keep the same account and a new world of training and community access will be available.

We actually have a "Move" feature that you will see right within the SiteManager.
https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/websites
You can move any domain to any domain hosted here at WA. For example, if you wanted to move your Siterubix website to a domain that you have purchased, then it is a very simple process.
The "Move" feature also handles for all proper redirects and SEO, it will transfer your site in its entirety and it is as simple as a few clicks. See attached screenshot for what I am referring to here.
And as mentioned, the members area is the same, but you have access to absolutely everything, with more technology, training, support, features, and general access.

Hey!
So I have been interested in affiliate marketing for a long time. But the main problem was that I could not find a good course like this one to learn everything, so I would like to first thank you for making it!
Second, because I have been looking around for a long time I have also learned how to make a website with an affiliate system myself. I am a web designer but I like to make projects that makes a passive income.. so my question is, if one day I would make a simple website with a product that I can sell and connect an affiliate system to it. Can I tell people here that they can also sell this product?

Without getting into the details and pinpoint accuracy, just remember that if you are a premium member and you are able to refer or encourage people to become premium members through your WA link, you get approximately a commission of 50% of what they pay. Never mind about the other scaled down commissions that will just blur your understanding. You surely are after the big buck anyway so just focus on the 50% commission to motivate you.
Okay I get, so I would just have to stay focused on the training and how to get the Big bucks....thanks

No not at all, with the way that affiliate links work, you only need the link itself to get up and going. However you distribute it is truly up to you, whether thats through email marketing, social media or some other means. The member need only discover WA by clicking your link for you to get the credit. Personally I HIGHLY reccommend building an authoratative website and using that to push your link "reach" but if you already have a following somewhere or sway in a relative community then by all means, website isnt the only way to go.

If you want to promote WA, I believe you just need to send visitors to WA through your affiliate link, so no website is needed. But without a website/blog you are limiting yourself on how you can promote WA. More than that your campaign will not very effective because if you send visitors to WA and it is their first time most likely they will not sign up at WA. So having a website is not an absolute must but it is also very important.

This boot camp is great. I attempted to write a WA review in the Certification Training, which is when I realized, maybe it would be more beneficial for me to promote WA first. Then work on my other niche sites. After this training, either I will revise my WA review or totally write another one. This is great information. Glad I made the switch to specifically promote WA, for now. Also, glad my website is in sync with the necessary changes I'll need to make. I will work on my WA review today.

Yes, you can build any type of website you like here. By hard to leave, what specifically do you mean. People will leave your website if your content is not interesting, and your content is not relevant.
So those should be focal points of your website. I recommend that you go through the bootcamp training and take action on what you learn there, you are going to be building a solid foundation for your business right from the ground up.

Hi Everyone, I chose a free domain for my website and the title. Chose a theme for it and created it, but when I click on my website URL, the website theme doesn't come up and it's blank. I would like to know what I did wrong? I've created 3 websites now and two of them don't work.

Themes will not always look the same when you preview them (before you install them) versus when you actually start using them as there are features, images, etc. that can change the look of your website.
Not to worry at all here though, that is quite normal and as you build out your website, the design and look will evolve as you create content.

With 30 years in the D2D universe I was able to notice the baby boomer demographic as a strong category to dive into. I think this category offers a tremendous opportunity with the right messaging, services and product line that gravitates to the 50-70 age group. I can’t help to notice that regardless of many of them living on a fix retirement income, a great number of his group is always seeking alternatives ways of a secondary income. So, I’m thinking in refining and simplifying the need of this niche, since many of them remain open to income opportunities. Some good feedback, and ideas are greatly welcomed.
Kyle

Don't over think the demographics, rather choose your brand.
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.

I think you are on the correct path, most definitely there is lots of opportunity for the recent grad from high school or college. If they can grasp and understand the opportunity that's before them. I say all that because I have a 23-year-old that’s taken me a long time to convince and cultivate him to understand that if he knew what I know now, he would be jumping all over the opportunity of any online business and social media world. The idea would be to get a small group of them going, and I guess the rest would just follow along the way, and not to mention, the effortlessness this age group has to understand today's digital universe, they are probably way ahead of any other age group in today's world. I think you are on to something promising my friend…..

Hi everyone, i would like to create a website comparing way to make money online. Over the last couple year i have been trying different thing trying to achieve this goal without real success (have spent more than i earn so far lol ). The goal of this website would be get referral to W.A. and maybe to other website. My question is, are bootcamp and entrepreneur both show the same skill, that is to create a website. Or are they completely different ? If i do the bootcamp first, will it be easier to do the entrepreneur after ? I guess my real question is really, is there a preferred order to do the training, (for example, Bootcamp first and then do the entrepreneur or vice versa) ? Let me know what are you though. Thank and sorry for this long question :)

If you want to promote WA and work within the "make money niche" (which it sounds like), go through the Affiliate Bootcamp training. If you want to build a business within another niche, head through the Get Started Here training.
Focus on just one though. You are going to be much more successful if you focus on one business/website versus trying to do too many things at once. You can always diversify down the road.
Hope this helps you out here Alex!

I've come to grief trying to create Wordpress sites before and at first glance this appears to be no different, but that is because I don't know where it is going or what the planned stages are.
The first issue is the theme, not knowing which one or ones are most suitable for promoting WA, which is what I'm expecting this will teach me. I would expect to create a landing page with some sort of offer followed by an email capture page then a thank you page which links to my website where I can discuss the benefits of WA.
So once I had followed the instructions and created a site (after much time spent trying to select a suitable theme), I thought I had to immediately add relevant content by amending the existing posts and trying to create suitable landing page content only to be told in the next video to delete the posts and that I woiuld be continually adding content to the website, not something I would expect to do for a landing page.
So can someone please give me an idea of the plan, so in future I'm not trying to jump ahead and waste time trying to do things that are going to be explained later.

Don't overthink the process. Choose a theme that is simple, ideally with a white background and black text (as this is the most readable).
I tend to avoid themes with too many bells and whistles as the focus of your website will be your content and your content will make your website look visually appealing to your audience.
So choose something simple, yet elegant and if you ever need to change down the road, you can easily do so within Appearance => Themes.
There are over 3,000 to choose from there and you will also be able to upload your own from there.
I have created some training on how to do this that you should check out: How to Change Your Website Theme in Wordpress You can always shift to a new and more complex theme down the road, but I recommend keeping things simple when starting out. It is your content that will rank, get traffic, and convert. Not the bells and whistles within a theme.

But I wanted to ask about the quotations around the search phrase as you showed in the picture. You'll see in the picture I attached below that without quotes, it has a hell of a lot more competition. Although the search volume stays the same.

Yes, that is a huge audience. There is a lot of people with criminal records, that are wonderful people, but companies are very much against and have policies against hiring folks with a record.
You can help them out, and building a business online is certainly one way to create an income.

Hello everyone!
We are creating a new website about family..things you can do to spend time with your loved ones.. This is more for kids, but also some topics about parents, including grandparents.. our target audience for this bootcamp training would be more of parents and grandparents who want extra income..is this too broad? do we still need to refine this?
Your reply would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you..

Hai, I am planning to target people who are interested in 'passive income'.
Have a name in mind for my website (passive potential) and plan to make the content a bit broader, ways to utilize the possibilities for a human that they get in their life.
Can you give me an indication of your thoughts about this?
Thanks for the attention!

What aspect of the travel niche do you want to help people with? There are literally 1,000's of niches within these categories and you will want to narrow it down. Where specifically? What type of travel? What aspect of travel?
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. :)

I am still busy with OCE training and already registered a domain wilkayaffiliate.com with niche Baby Monitors. I want this domain as my brand.
Now that I am busy with Affiliate Bootcamp training, I want to use the same "brand" or domain to promote Wealthy Affiliate as an economic freedom (or home) for all retirees.
Please let me know if I can keep my "brand" and if the direction that I want to go as well as the target group can go through.

My questions:
1. The websites that we create, are they meant to be mostly blog post? For example, the way I made it to WA was through a blog review about another affiliate marketing platform.
2. I am a paramedic firefighter and a deputy sheriff. Can I use this to target an audience?

Your website can be what you want it to be. The dividing line is quite fine as blog and post are interchangeable. Just write quality content to attract visitors to your natural friendly manner.
Say you write an engaging post, advising folks what to do if a bush fire threatens them, (yes these can be niches). Within that you can informally promote some safety ideas and devices.
The advise content is a blog and the ideas and devices within it, can be your income focus.
If Florida is similar to Australia you could include fire plans that you do for your visitors! I did my own before licenses were required. I set it all out, talked to the Fire Brigade's area manager and had it approved in half a day. By the time others wanted me to do it, licences were required. Even for a simple one that revealed that a property had no significant risk, $1,000 was the base price.
Good luck in whatever you choose for your niche.

The best way to write a really good review it to start. That is not meant to be funny, really just get something down, get a structure and few photos and express you view of the product. Remember you can always come back and review your posts after they have been published. DO IT.

What specific problem are you having?
If it is generating ideas, think about what you are interested in and how it can help people. People tend to go to the internet to find information. That is your website's job, to provide valuable and honest information. This can be done in a review of a given product, if that is what your intentions are.
If you haven't gone through the training, then do that first. The affiliate bootcamp training seemed to clarify things for me better. The biggest thing you should be thinking of when finding your niche is answer the question Who?, What?, When?, Where?, and Why?
Also, there are several different training pages here in WA on keyword searches. As you go through the training, they will become more clear on how to use keywords.
Hope this helps.

I did it and I'm terrified!!! I just published my first WA review and it was the most stressful thing I have done (okay, a little melodramatic there)! Seriously, it just seemed like you have so much riding on that review and of course, you don't want to mess anything up. Did anybody else feel that way or is just my over sensitive doubting self that is driving up my anxiety level?? :<(

It has been a difficult journey as it has taken a least a month for me to prepare the content, write it and publish it.
It has been a great learning curve with many obstacles, which I have tried, by trial and error to overcome. I am now looking forward to continue with my training and learning more.

I hear you. I really have struggled with writing a WA review because frankly, I'm new and as much as I love WA and am so thankful we found each other, I don't want to put anything out there that would be a detriment to the company, or to my future for that matter. I also tend to go on and on so I need to cut my "chatter" down a little or my review will turn into the "Life and Times" of my life!! :-) Good luck and so glad you got it out there!

I have a second site which is my dive site and I'm enjoying it and keeping it going.
I have a new site for this training, this time I want to be on the right track. This is what I have come up with and please tell me if I'm thinking of this the right way... ( want to get back into my Super Affiliate Training with this).
Monica’s direction for her new business is:
“Helping People Become Entrepreneurs”
I want to help people who want to be successful entrepreneurs. This will be my brand and I'll have topics based on this.
The name of my brand:
Work Anywhere Business
Target Niche: Self-Employment (Entrepreneurs)
What do you think or do I need to go back to the drawing board?
Thank you!

I purchased the domain name 'workanywherebusiness.com' yesterday. Also purchased a theme called Authority Pro from StudioPress.
I couldn't feel the excitement of my first website and didn't even like my targeted audience. I also realized I wasn't using my keywords properly... I hope I do now.
The new site is much better because I know I am an entrepreneur (have had businesses and successful in them) PLUS I love to travel to scuba dive and want to be able to have this business and my dive site work for me anywhere in the world.
I'm going back to following your Super Affiliate Training again. I am working on goals for 1 year and break those goals down into mini-goals this weekend.
I enjoy challenges... so BRAIN it on Wealthy Affiliate!!
Cheers and Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!

Hi, I'm a college student and my goal is to help other college students pay off their student loans. I myself am in my first year and I've already borrowed like $5,000 from the state to pay for school. Around 1.5 million students are graduating with debt in the United States and I think some of them could really use some extra cash. The brand name I'm thinking of is "So Long, Student Loans" (got 453 results on Google, not terrible) or "See Ya, Student Loans" (this got only 33 results, which is great I think). Which name is better? Or is neither a good option? Should I add an exclamation point or remove the comma? I'm no genius in marketing.

If you go to Appearance => Themes (and "customize" for your particular theme ) within the back office of your website, you will likely see your home page header there which you can upload an image for.
There are typically many other settings in there as well that you can use to manipulate theme colours, font colours, theme images, logos, menus, structure/layout, etc.
See attached image for reference.

Hi Kenisha3
The niche of your website must reflect the banners you decide to add. Wealthy Affiliate banners promote WA, so your niche would be something to do with online marketing, working from home, affiliates, etc.
Visitors may like what they see on your website and click on a banner you have placed, your banners are encrypted with your own unique code so WA knows where that referral has come from and subsequent commissions are yours forever!!
No need to 'tell', (answer above) , but I am sure you would love them to spread the word about this fantastic opportunity and this fantastic place, Wealthy Affiliates, where members, learn, create, grow and succeed!

I am real excited about the affiliate program and want to be a real success to myself and to the Company. My goal is to get to $1000 a month soon and sign up some of my friends that need an added income. I think I should be able to become a multi millionaire at this over time. I have worked over 50 years in all kind of sales and majored in retail sales in college. My only problem is I am not real great with the computer so that slows me down.

Hi I just thought I would update you all I’ve been getting on here really late had a Rough Chest infection this last week so had head fog it’s just something that happens with me when I get flue or a cold but I came back last night and tonight I can definitely confirm this process is Truly fast I was a bit stuck for names I eventually went with ‘http:/nobellsorwhistles.siterubix.com’
The Name went way too long so I need to shorten it Basically Saying Learn how to Start your own website and or affiliate Program with very little cost or Brain Drain. which I desperately need to change, the main thing I’m peddling is honesty straight forward with no “Gurus” charging you the Earth and coming away more confused. yep so I need to shorten it without losing the core meaning I think I possibly missed something I should of maybe ran a search but I know what I was looking for what I believe my Niche Market wants is to blog Earn a Passive income by Affiliate Marketing or run a little shop online they have all done the rounds been sucked into crazy ripp off schemes and they are Wary if they haven’t done it yet they will come around next time,I hope I don’t sound too jaded I don’t know it all but I know my Audience Through Analytics and being one of them for quite some time. Honesty is missing and there’s far too many people calling themselves Experts,Trainers or Influencers and charging people like us the earth to get some understanding.
I hope to turn up when there’s some people about I just spend a lot of time growing my Audience but I’m getting good results so it’s like my unpaid job.

I wouldn't try to incorporate WA into an irrelevant website, but if you can do so with relevance by all means.
I would recommend that you consider it if you can, but ideally you have a website dedicated to a niche relevant to WA and you can decide on this within the target audiences training (which is lesson 2).

Hi , I think I'm going to name my domain http://firstchoiceaffiliates.com. I already checked it out and it is available. I plan on helping people get into the affiliate programs,build websites and target as many different people niches as I can from the young to the retired its never to late to start. I built 1 website already based on a blog with about 6 affiliate company's though out my site. It is about the golf world lol. Now I'm ready to hopefully make some money with this bootcamp training and new website because i know my first one will take some time to get rocking. I do have ranked pages by google but nothing on the first pages yet. I'm finding it a tough niche to break into.
I'd like to know what you think of my new domain name that I have picked out for my brand, http://firstchoiceaffiliates.com. Looking forward to your comments.
Since no one has responded yet ,I have been doing some thinking and maybe this domain name would be better and give me more options of what to blog about on my website. Here it is:
bobelliottonlinestrategies.com . I think I am beginning to like it the more I see it. Any thoughts on the subject ?

Good luck with yours too . I'm new here but since you already have a computer based site I would do both. Build a new site and put in a page on your site especially if you have good traffic there, who knows what could happen if you do til you try and it can always be removed if it don't work out at the existing site. The more exposure the better I feel but like I say ,I'm new here.

I'm aiming for my primary audience to be people who are looking to work from home, such as those who want to earn a bit of money on the side, those who want to work from home full-time, even people who have lost their jobs and need a source of income, all of these groups and more would benefit. As I am still a 20-year old college student, I also aim to target that kind of demographic too. I know a lot of people my age who want to earn money, but are finding it difficult to find or maintain jobs out in the real world, and they could benefit from Wealthy Affiliate.
My situation and possibly a primary target audience is people living or wanting to live as Expats in Asia. For many the opportunity to work online would be the ideal income. My roadblock is Domain name. How important do you see inclusion of keywords in the Domain name versus in the by line or site description? So many people on the net spruking "Keywords are dead" when the reality is that words in a search bar are the start of any search in any browser. Ideal domains are are usually taken by existing webmasters or entrepreneurs trading them at crazy prices. i do have experience and understand the mix Google use isn not solely keywords, site authority, bounce and other factors are involved.

Hi Brendan, The keyword in the domain name can give a slight advantage but it's not an important ranking factor. For this reason, I prefer brandable domain names that people can remember and type easily.
You will get ranked on the first page of Google by targeting low competition keywords and creating helpful content for your readers.

I want to help military spouses, disabled veterans and their spouses, and everyday disabled or differently abled individuals be able to find a way to make a viable income from home despit the challenges they face every day. I'm not certain if I should actually break this up into two niches (maybe three), or keep it as one. The content would be similar. My husband and I have been together through nine years of active duty (him) and now three and a half years out of the military in the civillian world with him as a disabled veteran. Bringing in money consistently is tough when you're moving at the army's whim or don't have the support to take care of kids so you can work. So many veterans have a hard time finding a job after army life which suits them (they don't know where they fit) or pays well, and the spouses of disable veterans often have to take on the additional burden of making up financial shortfalls.

I live on 770 a month and live in two storage building put together as an studio apartment. Has no insulation and takes the rest of my check to heat. Enough about my story, but that is my target audience.

Think I should create another website or can I work this offer into my existing niche www.smarterfittness.com is all bout helping Boomers help themselves, in all aspects. Physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually. My niche is for the people that believe 60 is the new 50 or even 70 is the new 60. People that are looking for ways to achieve their dreams even if they are on SS. Just because you may be retired doesn't mean your not able or willing to take on another challenge.Ten and twenty years is a long time to live if you don"t have goals and aspirations to strive for. Don't die with your life still inside you, be all you can be! If your old before your time my website is not for you, oh well it's not for everyone, and it's not trying to be.

I was not sure that I activated my SEO and EWWW plugins so I went to Dashboard and Updates. Results: Last checked Sept 27, 2018. YOU HAVE THE LATEST VERSION OF WORDPRESS.

Don't know if I need to activate/install anymore plugins. Here is what I did.
Clicked DASHBAORD on the side menu.
Clicked INSTALLED PLUGINS, A message appeared , stating, you do not appear to to have any plugin available at this time.
Clicked "Add New". On that same page there appeared four words at the top of the page, FEATURED - POPULAR - RECOMMENDED - FAVORITES.
Then same page a little lower, the was BOODY PRESS - bb Press - Jetppack by wordpress.com
Does this indicate that I am ready to continue or do I need to go back and activate two more plugings?
Thank you, Confused

My goal is to at least make one dollar on this WA program. I believe there is much to learn from achieving such a goal since I have never done something like this before. From there I can start aiming a little higher and set more goals.....
Somehow I get this feeling that Im about to experience a whole lot
more than just making money
If I do well on this, I'll have something to convince others to become referrals,I don't know

Kyle, I'm thinking to go with 'Website Marketing' for promoting WA, since this brand direction includes or implies the many different aspects that are all within the WA site. WA gives you all the tools and actions necessary for successful website marketing. I could even call the brand direction 'Successful Website Marketing.' Please comment on this thought. Thank you so much.

The direction I am going to be choosing for my business is:
"Forget the boss, build your own business empire!!"
I want to help dissatisfied employees that hate the day in, day out drudgery of a job you have no passion for, and as I build out my website and my brand, that is going to be the core theme of the topics I am discussing.
The name of my brand:
Build Your Business Empire
Please critique and give guidance with this niche and target.

I have been trying to remove the word HOME from my Theme, (please check image below), without success!!!
Today after many attempts I found "Inspect" Which opened and I found "Home" corresponds to
<span itemprop="name">Home</span>
I found an option DELETE ELEMENT, which I did but I could not find a way to SAVE my change. Therefore, when I reloaded the page, "Home" still appeared
Any suggestions?

It's possibly because it requires a custom menu to be added for it disappear. See this tutorial here for further reference: Creating Custom Menus on Your Website Hope that helps!
P.S. the "Inspect Element" is a browser side function - so that is just changing how your browser displays the site, it is not actually making any changes to your website itself (hence why it reverts upon refresh).

Hi Dale,
I have followed your advise but when I add a custom menu, as you suggest, it does appear, but at the very top of the page on the right hand side where the other menus are, i.e. About Me and Policy, but not where it appears on the theme as shown in the above image. It is a mystery!!

I'm struggling with 'direction' - specifically being too generic vs too restrictive.
At the moment, my site is a general 'make money online' website - which has multiple verticals/niches within it.
In the past, I have made a website around just one niche - but this quickly reached its limit.
My site has genuine solutions for people who want to make money online - so possibly targeting it towards 'frustrated' folks who've tried and failed to make money before?
But again, 'frustrated' could encompass the same number of verticals.
Am I overthinking this?
(For reference, my website link is below - I'll remove it if it's considered spam):
Thanks.

Ok, now that I've finished Lesson 7, I am realizing as I work through the tasks, likely I will need to revisit some of the information as I learn more as some of the details will make more sense to me. This section took me a little longer to work through and therefore for my learning, I am sure I will want to go back over this information again. Great content!

Can't copy Jackie. That will be duplicate content and the big google will spank you for it.
Go to google, type in wealthy affiliate review. Read lots of them to get the big picture. Then write your review in your own words. Don't copy even one paragraph because google will know it right away.
The big G will be your best friend if you come up with 100% unique content. Google loves new content.
You can copy the template Kyle uses, no problem there.

Question Re Jaaxy Affiliate Link:
In #3 of this lesson, it says to obtain affiliate link through the "Program Details" tab at https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/share.
On this page there's a table "Your WA Affiliate Links" with 4x links but not one for Jaaxy. I wonder where to find my Jaaxy affiliate link, or need I apply for this separately?

Before I landed at WA, I did some looking into dropshipping. I want to include a quick comparison between the two, but haven't found much, apart from sites that want to get me back into dropshipping (to drop affiliating), to help me to steer people away from that and toward WA.
Suggestions? I probably won't need much; just a way to springboard the discussion in this direction, now that I've given a basic outline of the two methods of eCommerce.

In the video, Kyle mentions possibly using the viewpoint of BBB. The Better Business Bureau appears to be oriented to brick and mortar, not online operations, like this. Though I could have looked it up incorrectly. I entered "Wealthy Affiliate" and "Chicago, IL" (mainly because I don't know where WA world headquarters is at.).

UPDATE: After more digging, I found this:
This business is not BBB accredited.
Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation.
To be accredited by BBB, a business must apply for accreditation and BBB must determine that the business meets BBB accreditation standards, which include a commitment to make a good faith effort to resolve any consumer complaints. BBB Accredited Businesses must pay a fee for accreditation review/monitoring and for support of BBB services to the public.

Kyle's list of things you could focus on is incomplete. Everything he says is great, but for me one of the best features is the intangibles. For example, the community is ethical and not self-centered. At the top, it's not hero-oriented, but member-oriented. What's taught is centered on nurturing the selfless part of us, in order to help others--which, in my view, will ultimately attain higher returns, anyway, than an approach that takes advantage of others for quick, selfish gain.
A philosophy like this--which isn't preached, but organically delivered--is one of humility and not arrogance and may be less threatening to the public, scaring fewer off. At least that's what has come through for me.

Hi there, I have a question about my first WA review. Since I just joined WA almost one week ago, I haven't written any post except the About Me yet. I was wondering if I can screenshot other successful members' compensation record they shared in WA as a sort of proof within my review? Do I need to ask for their allowance for doing like this? Any suggestion? Really appreciate~

It's a little embarrassing because I started this a year ago and it was intimidating so I went to the certification training. It's been a year and I thought I give it a go. I think I'm ready until I have to pick a new niche, directions, and target audience.
So I need help... I want to start with
"Affiliate program that works"
"Journey to be wealthy" as the brand
And I'm targeting the working middle working class that needs an extra cash or passive income. Like myself.
What do you all think?

I love to read, learn new things, research, write, and share what I've learned with others. I am grateful for the opportunity to give my interest more significant meaning by working with you guys here at WA building websites and blogging. This material is taught very well through the training. It's not difficult to learn, yet so much potential to improve remains by repetitive use of the techniques. I appreciate all of you.

So I found 13 keywords then accidentally deleted them. So started again and I then reached 27 keywords. If I target each on 27 articles, reach page 1 on Google for them all it says I could get an average of 330 visitors per month. Much work to do until that is achieved, but willing to grind it out. :)

That's completely fine. You can "research to write". Nobody starts off as an expert within any niche, nobody. Every expert you see out there started off somewhere and the online world and what you learn here is going to walk you through the process of becoming an expert.
Every expert surgeon started off at one point as a first year student. Every person with expertise within the online business world (myself included) started off with ZERO knowledge.
That should be exciting to you knowing that you can enter absolutely ANY niche you want and become the expert and build a full time income doing so.
Immerse yourself into your niche. People will trust you if you can offer them help and you don't have to reach the "expert" status to have a full time business within a niche.

I have a three-tiered brand direction idea for my website, having been personally looking for a secondary source of income, not being happy with my current job, and searching for a real passive income opportunity online. Is it possible to merge these together into one brand idea? They seem to coincide with being self-employed, working from home...or am I just going to broad?

Sure, these are all topics you can discuss within your website, but I wouldn't confuse your brand and I would choose something more specific to just one of these.
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).
