Today's an exciting day because we're going to be building on the foundation you put in place yesterday and marks the beginning of getting your site ready for the search engines!
(If you missed Lesson 5 click here.)
Every day Google is searches 3.5 billion times! That's a lot of people asking questions!
Whatever topic your site is based on, you'll be successful when you learn how to help people in your niche find what they're looking for.
Tomorrow we'll be looking at how you can ensure your website gets on the top of the first page of Google. This is going to lead to lots of free, targeted traffic for your website.
But for today, you're going to be adding a sitemap to your website. This is important because it lets search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing know your site exists so they can begin to add your site to their search results.
Never done it before? Does this is sound a bit technical? Don't worry, as always we're going to take this step by step!

Wow it’s really nice to see some sort of positive vibe within content like this – especially for those of use that are struggling to make ends meet working online.
I really like your use of daily assignments – do you find they actually help you to stay focused and drag you through each milestone?
If you’re talking about the assigned tasks at the end of each lesson with the Wealthy Affiliate training – yes absolutely!
There’s a huge difference between listening and watching training, being intellectually stimulated by it and walking away not accomplishing anything.
The thing that I love about the affiliate marketing course at Wealthy Affiliate is that you build your business as you go through the training. It’s a full mentoring process going on, learning from some of the best online entrepreneurs and following the exact blueprint they followed. How can you not be successful with this?
I earned my first commission (a whooping $1.05) two weeks into the training. I was ecstatic! Because I could see this thing actually worked. I just needed to keep going through the training, keep applying what I’ve learned and scale it up from there.
This is a very inspirational post Simon. It reminds me how much I wanted to be out there doing the things that matter to the community than chasing the rat race.
I have a professional degree and once my online business take flight, I want to get involved in awareness campaign and help poor children to get more education that they deserve.
I think one of the main factor that cause so many chaos that we are seeing right now come from the lack of knowledge and love. To fix the problem, we need to go back to the root – good books, good mentor ship and good friendship.
The changes might not happen overnight, but it’s important that we try instead of ignoring the matter. I salute you for your effort – God bless a good soul like you.
Thanks Cathy 🙂 It’s only a matter of time for you too! Stick with Wealthy Affiliate and you’ll soon see your business take flight!
I just love having a legitimate online business – it’s honest and you get to help people! I hope more and more people realise that having an online income compared to the convention 9-5 is the way to go. It frees you up, it’s passive and you can run from the UK, Thailand or anywhere else in the world with an internet connection.
1. At least usd 5000 to usd 15000 a month
2.First would like to clear all my debts Want a have a house of my own and all the necessity in there If I make a good bank balance then would quit my job so I can spend time with my family and friends

Really awesome goals David, love them! I look forward to helping you achieve these and if you ever need hand, simply ask for some help. There is no reason to ever be stuck here within the Wealthy Affiliate community on your journey to success. 🙂
HI Simon,
Everyone needs to DREAM BIG. My dream is to make a full time income as a blogger leaving my job behind. I plan on moving back to New Mexico and working on my art. I want spend time with my family, travel and help out some charities.
Your post is inspiring as you see that it can be done.
Thanks Melinda. I’m glad you’ve taken me up on this free email course. If you’ve got started with the training and taken the action steps I’ve taught you so far – you will succeed!
That’s a great set of dreams Melinda – Wealthy Affiliate can show you ‘how‘ but only you can know the ‘why‘. Keep these in mind and you’ll be motivated and diligent enough to see it through! As always, shout out if I can help with anything along your online business building journey 🙂
I would be happy to make $3000 a month, which would be enough to quit my job to focus on my kids and school work.
I would be estatic with $10000 a month, because then I could pay off all my debts including my student loans and pay for my children’s college! And a long overdue vacation would be nice too.
I am willing to put in all the time I have to, to make a success of this.
Honestly, follow the step by step Wealthy Affiliate training, don’t skip a lesson, take action on the daily assignments, work hard and $3000 a month could be you in the next 12-24 month mark. That’s what happened for me.
Hi Novzar, you’ve made so much progress in the last couple of days! Who would’ve thought! I love the fact you are serious about reaching for your dream! I can see you will do very well because you have determination, passion and a willingness to take action.
On to your questions about choosing a website niche – PMP Online Training is not something I am too familiar with but a quick Google search tells me it’s Project Management training – I think it’s great if you can build an online business that will support your existing business. Do you get paid every time someone signs up the course?
Regarding your second site idea, of course it’s completely up to you. What I did was start with my Church leadership niche site, got that up and running, started earning enough revenue so I could quit my job and move from the UK to Thailand full-time. After two years I started TheMakeMoneyOnlineBlog.com as a way to teach others to do the same.
I think it might be better to have some success with your first site first so that you can be more qualified to guide people to do the same.
I too have lots of different ideas for different sites and even have already bought a few domains I still haven’t used yet. The danger of trying to do too much at once is that you lose focus and get distracted.
I hope this helps, as always, you’ll find me inside of Wealthy Affiliate. I’m really excited for what lies ahead of you!
Hi Simon,
You are finally living your dream. Kudos for that.
Today I have a modest dream. To have a recession-proof income and employment (I was laid off three times in last 5 years!!!). Once I realize that dream, then I will think of some newer dreams.
For my niche, I have opted for PMP Online Training. I have a training partnership with an educational provider and I have to attract candidates towards this course/s. How is that for a niche?
I am also toying with the idea of opting for a second niche, that is to go for Affiliate Boot-camp Program and promote WA.
I would appreciate your inputs on my selection of niches.
