What Will I Be Doing?
I’m glad you asked, as I was clueless in the beginning. What really is a blog?It is a lot of writing! But you will learn skills on how to write faster over time, so don’t let that stop you. Also, you can employ a copywriter if you want some help.
Imagine that you have a real store (let’s say a hardware shop). The first thing that you would do, is you would stock it up with products. So, your product online for your website, no matter your niche are articles of interest.
And an easy tip to miss is that the topic of your articles are the answers to questions and reviews of products.
Let’s look at my music website: it has reviews on guitars, Gibsons’, Fenders and Artist guitars. Then it has articles on the best strings to buy, how to learn guitar, songs to learn, etc, and articles answering specific questions, such as ‘Can I play guitar with small hands?’
You will need to write about 3 articles (also called posts) for your website a week if you want to be noticed by Google. These tend to be around 1300 words or more. You will include some good SEO tricks too. Such as including internal links to the other posts on your website and some external links to similar posts on Google's page one.
There will be some promotion on social media so that people see your articles too.
You can learn all these tricks in the Wealthy Affiliate training and community tutorials.
Once you have an article on page one of Google you will start to see some great organic traffic. I don’t know about you but when I research something on Google, I rarely read any articles below the first 5 on the first page! So, your goal is to write quality content answering questions, so you can get on the first page of Google.
It usually takes about 2 weeks for your website to be indexed (noticed by Google) and you will have to wait for each article to be indexed as you write them. So, expect it to take about 4 months to see some traffic as you write articles on your website. Be patient, anything important takes time!
In other words, there are so many ideas running through my brain, I can’t seem to quiet them down and be ok about just getting started. Geez!

But while watching Jay, I think he "follows" the money.
That would be a good thing for more of us to learn how to do, right? Yes, and certainly you could like it for what it brings if you go all in, do your best and make that even better.
Your friend, and student,

I think we have to ask ourselves why we are creating a website, once we know that then this question is easier to answer.
Lovely to see you here my friend.

I Believe that the biggest Answer of All is PATIENCE!!! Which is probably very few Person's strong suit. Until you learn the process and how to use it, most people will not understand what has to be done to Publish 500 papers on one Subject/Niche. Theoretically there are other ways around that, that will suffice. Think of it this way, what if you were to write a letter to a friend 500 days in a row. Even with multitude of topics available it would be very difficult to keep thier attention. I've got to believe that PATIENCE & RESEACH after you understand the process will help you pick the most valuable Niche for every person. That is my take at this point.

I actually like doing research and that is a cornerstone of writing interesting posts, 500 of them!
Finding a niche that we like helps but isn't imperative.
Warm Regards,
Lily
