Content creation doesn’t have to be difficult or complicated! And you certainly don’t have to be a Pulitzer prize-winning author to create quality content!
In this 5-part training series, the experts at Wealthy Affiliate go over the basics of content creation and how to create an awesome content building strategy without stress or frustration! The classes included in this content creation course are discussed in this post and in my video below.
Content Creation Classes Included in this Series
The Basics of Content Creation. I’m sick of hearing the phrase, “Content is King,” but I do have to agree with it. Content creation is, in fact, the foundation of any online business. In this class, you’ll learn how to create your own content creation strategy.
The Basics of a Blog Post. Whether you have a blog or a full-blown website, the rules for creating a basic post remain the same.
The most important aspects of a successful blog post are layout and quality. You need to have a well-structured layout and useful content. This class goes into detail about how to create a successful blog post.
The Basics of a Page. Pages (rather than posts) are typically used for the “business” end of things, like your Privacy Policy, Terms and Conditions, etc. I didn’t realized this when I created my first WordPress website, so sadly, I created almost 100 pages before I realized that most of those should’ve been posts!
But you can use pages on WordPress for much more than just business stuff. In this class, you’ll learn how to use pages to increase conversions.
3 Blog Post Formats for Massive Traffic. There are tons of different kinds of blogs online, and just as many types of posts. But in the realm of affiliate marketing (this is where Wealthy Affiliate’s main focus is), there are three specific types of posts that tend to generate the most traffic and conversions. In this class, you’ll learn what these three styles are and how to create them.
Using Categories and Tags. So many people don’t realize that creating categories on your website is important. Even if you don’t know it yet, at some point you’re going to want to organize your posts into specific categories.
Plus, it’s important that your website has a structure that is organized and easily navigated by your website visitors as well as the search engines. In this class, you’ll learn everything you need to know about creating a solid category structure, and how to use tags to go along with that.

This is How I Started
I joined Wealthy Affiliate’s Free Starter Membership back in 2015 to learn how to do affiliate marketing. As of the date of this post, it’s been almost 10 years and I’m still doing it.
I chose to do affiliate marketing as my full-time job, but you can certainly do it as a part-time online business or side hustle to earn extra money.
