How to Design Websites Within Minutes

Could your affiliate marketing business churn out more profits if I were to show you how to design websites within minutes ? And when I say minutes, I mean minutes , not hours! I am going to show you how a simple website building software can be used to design your own websites at break neck speed.

These are professional looking websites that can compete with any website designed with costly website building softwares , but are comparatively much easier to build and modify. You need absolutely no knowledge of html or any other language to design your own websites.Once you learn how to design websites fast, it can become a hobby that can earn you a lucrative income just by designing websites. Let's get started.

Login to your wealthy affiliate members area. On dashboard you will notice a Site Rubix link at the top.Site rubix -website builder is a software that uses drag and drop technology to create websites within minutes. Click on the Site rubix link. This will pop up a new window with the site rubix website builder software. Click on the "Create New Site" button on the left menu as shown in the following screenshot.

how to design websitesIt will take you to a page with many website templates to choose from. Here you will be asked to give your site a name in the 'Site Attributes' box at the top of the page and select a template.I named my site "Online Wealth Vault" , chose a template with a blue banner and gray navigational bar and clicked on the "Create Site" button at the bottom of the page.This brings me to the template on which I will build my site.The templates inside wealthy affiliate are already optimized for search engines.Hence, when you learn how to design websites using site rubix website builder and follow simple instructions, your website will be automatically compatible for the major search engines.

At this stage, all I can see is the simple skeletal template with a blue banner and gray navigation bar that I picked , but within minutes it will be fleshed out to accommodate the new menu items and layouts that I will add to it. You can change the banner or the template by clicking the buttons I have circled in the image below.I am going to stick to this template for now.




Click on the "New Menu Items" to add menus to the navigation bar.This will pop up a box to add text ,url or select a page as shown in the image on the left.Add the menu text in the text box as you would like it to appear in the navigational menu.For example I added "affiliate Marketing" in the text box for the link under the home to appear as Affiliate Marketing.


In the url , we will need to add an html link.Don't freak out :-) All you have to do is write the website url followed by a right slash and the text and an html extension ,for example I added http://www.onlinewealthvault.com/affiliatemarketing.html in the url box. Click on Save when you are done and it will appear in the navigation bar.Add as many menu items as you want.You can drag and drop to change the position of the menu items. I have added four pages for this site .



There is also a text box on the banner at the top for you to add text. I added Online Wealth Vault, the title of the site , to that box as you can see from the screenshot on the right. You can choose the font,font color,bold ,color of text or centering buttons from the top to make any changes you want.







Now, all that's left is to add content and images to your site. If you have your content ready , then this will take you less than a minute to add them to the respective pages.Click on the "New Layout" button that you see at the top of the page.This will bring up several layouts with different dimensions as shown in the left image.I chose the 30-70 layout because I am going to add an image in the layout box on the left and add text to the layout on the right.




To add an image, I click on the green + sign on the left layout window and click image. This pops up a box where I can browse and upload an image from my computer.The alt text is the text your visitor will see if the image takes time to load or doesn't load. Use the align feature to position the image at the top, bottom or center.Once done, click on the save button to upload the image.All your images will be stored in "my image" inside wealthy affiliate so you don't have to upload the same image twice.





This is how the page presently looks. Notice that the image and the text have been added on different halves within the same layout.It took me less than a minute to get it done.Once you learn how to build websites and attempt it, you will find how easy and exciting designing a website can be.




Now I added a new 100% layout which appears just under the previous 30-70 layout.This is where I add my content for the website. You can see how it looks after I added the text to the page.Don't pay attention to the text on that site as I didn't put any thought into it.You can also add videos to your site the same way I added the image or you can select the url for a youtube video and show it on your website.You can add as many layouts, images,videos and screenshots to a page as you like.


how to design websites
If you have joined Wealthy affiliate from any link on Onlinewealthvault, then you can email me at Onlinewealthvault@gmail.com with your subscription number and I will help you put together your website with Site Rubix and upload it for you.To be honest , it's actually quite a simple process.

As a wealthy affiliate member you get free hosting for three of your websites. Hence, after building the website, you can simply upload it using wealthy affiliate's ftp software to WA server and have it running in no time.It took me around 7 minutes to put together this page and the rest of the content , but that's because I was creating this tutorial on how to design websites here and keep screenshots of each page as I proceeded. You can also add new pages by clicking on"Add new page" link showing on the left menu. It would take you less than 15 minutes to design a professional website with the site rubix website Builder once you have learned how to design websites.

Advice for New Wealthy Affiliate Money makers

wealthy affiliate moneyHere is some helpful advice for Wealthy affiliate money makers who joined wealthy affiliate university only recently. When you log into your wealthy affiliate account, you will find the "8 week action plan" on your dashboard. Subscribe to this plan and let it guide you with specific tasks, tutorials and videos included in each week's action plan.

There is a monstrous information overload on the internet on how to make money online and it's not possible to learn everything simultaneously, neither is it necessary.The 8 week action plan will streamline your progress and help you stay focused. Learning and finishing the simple tasks on the tutorials will help you get started with making money online fast. Every wealthy affiliate money maker ,whether old or new swears by this action plan. As you progress through the weeks, you will get familiar with both Free and paid techniques to make money online.

Both free and paid marketing techniques work equally well and this is proven! Don't let anyone preach you any different.The only difference between the two is time and effort. If you have time in your hands, you can put more effort in the free marketing methods and get great results. If you have money that you'd like to use to get quicker results, then you'd perhaps need to put in less effort for the results to come through. But either way, both marketing styles are highly proven and being successfully used everyday.

One place that you definitely can benefit from is the Wealthy affiliate forum. The forum is an unbelievable diamond field where the diamonds "Never" exhaust.You will learn something new and helpful every time you visit the forum. It's a powerhouse of internet marketing knowledge and inspiration. You can benefit immensely just from the Sticky threads that Kyle, Carson and other old timers have created.But that's also a reason why it's so easy to get distracted and start chasing new fishes. Guard yourself against doing this!

One virtue to succeed online that I have been hearing about since several years , but understood only after joining wealthy affiliate is to "STAY FOCUSED". There are unlimited ways to make money online, but as I said, you do not have to know everything. All you need to focus on is one good and proven method to make money online and master it. The 8 week action plan will help you do just that.

Another place you should visit is the WA space and the "WA Share Zone". WA Share Zone is the web 2.0 face of wealthy affiliate that has been very recently launched.This is the place where wealthy affiliate members share strategies and techniques in the form of tutorials,videos, pdf files that are making them wealthy affiliate money and even while sharing them , they are earning WA Gold that's encashable as US dollars. While the WA Sharezone and WA forum are great places to learn from new and successful ideas and earn by sharing your own experiences you shouldn't let it come in your way of finishing the 8 week action plan.

Whether you watch the videos in the video vault , learn from the basic, intermediate and advanced tutorials in the learning center, dig gold in the forum and WA share zone or Earn from WA Jobs, don't let it take away from the 8 week action plan. I CAN'T stress this enough . If you get distracted or confused on what method you should use to make money online, get back to the 8 week action plan and see to it that you have learned it well! Once you learn the tricks in the action plan, you will be on your way to becoming an advanced internet marketer. Remember that the salient feature of internet marketing success is F-O-C-U-S.

Every money making strategy out there on the internet is elaborately and intelligently to be usurped by wealthy affiliate money makers. It's up to you which strategy you want to master and profit from.One thing that you can be sure about is that at wealthy affiliate you will always have great qualified support helping you to become an accomplished wealthy affiliate money maker.

Google Does it Again with their Keyword Generator Tool

keyword generator toolGoogle has surprised everyone yet again! This time with the Google Keyword Generator tool. The Google keyword Generator tool is now giving search counts instead of showing green bars when you search for keywords using their keyword generator and it's F-R-E-E for All!

I couldn't hold back anymore. I have been itching to post this from the moment I heard about it, but I confirmed the news by playing around with their keyword generator tool , verified the news on other popular networks , informed my close friends , waited for almost 2 days to be sure it's not a glitch in the keyword tool that's making it throw up the search counts and finally did the happy dance! :)


It's Official. You don't have to pay to get those secretive search counts when doing your keyword research anymore! And yes, this definitely IS the BIG news I was referring to in my last post. So, if you are a wealthy affiliate member and you have learned to use the keyword generator tool rightly to do your keyword research , then only sky is the limit! Perhaps even the sky won't hold you back now :)

Everyone I have talked with so far is super excited about this latest development with the Google keyword generator tool , even if they already had a Wordtracker subscription and there is a reason for this excitement.These search counts are straight from Google's Search database which means the approximation to the nearest search count should be closer than any other keyword research software. This obviously means that your keyword research when using Google's keyword generator tool will be that much more precise. Here's a screenshot of what the search results look like with the search count feature.


keyword generator tool
If you have used the Google keyword tool in the past , then you will be aware that the Approximate average search volume for the previous month and for the last twelve months (on the extreme right) used to show Green bars , but now they will show search counts as you can see in the above image. This makes things easier and more exciting for everyone involved, whether you are a blogger, webmaster, content writer , advertiser or internet marketer.Can you tell that I am excited! :-D

Now, with Wealthy affiliate essentially becoming Free and Google giving Free search counts with their already revolutionary Keyword generator tool, there seriously can't be a better time or reason to join wealthy affiliate and use their powerful knowledge to catalyze your profit graph. Here's hoping that the search count on Google keyword generator tool is only the beginning of bigger things to follow.

A Huge Reason to Join Wealthy Affiliate :Now Essentially a Free Web 2.0 Site


With the introduction of web 2.0 via WA Gold, this is the Best time ever to Join Wealthy Affiliate because Wealthy affiliate has essentially become a F-R-E-E membership site. After the launch of WA Gold and WA "Share" Zone , members of Wealthy affiliates won't need to pay any out of pocket expenses to remain a member. They can now earn a lot more than their membership fees within wealthy affiliates using WA Gold and WA share zone and they don't have to do anything extra for that.

With the launch of WA gold, every member who chooses to join wealthy affiliate and anywhere inside the Wealthy Affiliates community, be it in the forum , WA space, WA Share Zone or even via private message( pm) , can earn cashable gold inside wealthy affiliates. How does the system work ?

When you contribute to a forum post or share a piece of information that other members can benefit from , you will receive WA gold from wealthy affiliate members , not once but for the lifetime of that post or that information , resource, tutorial ,video, pdf document etc. Where does this gold come from ?

Well, the ever so generous founders of Wealthy affiliates , Kyle and Carson , add 10 WA Golds to each wealthy affiliates member's account each month. This can be given away by the members. In fact , that's the only way you can expend this gold you receive from the Admin- Give it away to any deserving member . What is the value of WA Gold ? 10 WA Golds = $1.00

At the end of every month , you can encash the gold that you receive from members of wealthy affiliates in the form of USD and considering that all wealthy affiliates will be viewing your contribution , it's an extremely reasonable assumption that you will make much more than the wealthy affiliates membership fees. Can you come up with a better reason to join wealthy affiliate ? :)

How to use Micro Niche Finder Software to profit from Any Micro Niche

Micro Niche Finder software is the lazy man's secret to rule the world of micro niches. The micro niche finder software goes into every niche and digs out exactly what is hot and what's not. It shows you the search counts ,broad and exact phrase match for every keyword within a niche and helps you decide which niche is worth the effort and which one is not.

Here you can find the five income streams that the micro niche finder software can instantly help you set up.After watching the videos , I went into testing the Squidoo method using the micro niche finder software. It didn't take me long to come up with 3 terrific keywords with good search count and almost no competition in an evergreen hot industry - Online Dating. I confirmed the present status of the industry with the built-in Google trends functionality in the software. Now this is an extremely competitive niche , but there are always keywords that are waiting to be optimized and that's what I used the software for.

I used the unlicensed article functionality of the software to search for two articles within the industry that aren't copyright protected and rewrote them into one Squidoo lens within fifteen minutes. I placed a link to one of the Clickbank products on this lens.The next day when I checked my Clickbank account , I had already got three sales from 73 page views on the lens.Wow!

Now if I could use just one method shown in the videos to get three sales in no time , imagine what I could do with the micro niche finder software if I were to set up a landing page for one of the micro niches it digs out for me!! I hope it doesn't make me too lazy ;-) To see the micro niche finder software at work , watch the video that follows or to watch all the profit streams that you can set up using the software click here
