hi everyone how are you today we have a special free course today i will show you step by step how to build a real online business something really special it's based on what we call ugc or user generated content i will show you how to build a business where people will create content and you can make money from i will show you everything step by step how to set up things technically set up the websites how to promote how to grow how to start how to launch everything in this free course and i will show you how this business how this setup made me increase my earnings up to 30 to 40 percent in only three months stay tuned welcome again i'm hassan from each educate and today i'm really so excited so happy to publish this new free course without wasting time let's go directly into our point let's open our browser and i will show you now some examples to understand what we are going to do if you go here to affiliatelift.com this website is simply an affiliate marketing forum if you go here to stmforum.com you will see one of the top affiliate marketing forums also online if you go here to warrior forum you will see number one digital marketing and online business forum online so you see i'm talking about forums if you go here to h-educate.com/forums you will see h-educates forum if you are following you know my forum where you can ask questions i will be there to help you you can post articles you can post topics it's a forum and you can see today i have 13.8 000 members in this free forum so our course today is about creating a forum promoting it setting up the business how to make money from forums and the power of forums in online business now you have to know something very important which is forums can be a stand-alone business like these websites like affiliate lift like stm like warrior forum or you can simply add a forum to your business like in my case i created a forum inside my website as an additional income source as an additional business as an additional thing to my main business to my main website so this is the power of forums you can add it to your website or simply build a business a full business based on forums now what do we mean by u g c or user generated content it's simply when you build a website or a business where people will create the content and not you so when you create a blog as an example or an academy to sell courses or whatever you do like in my case this is my blog here you will need to create the articles or hire someone to do this in the academy you need to create courses and sell it while on the forum people will engage and create content and you will be a user in this forum to engage with people so if you think about it it's somehow easier to manage a forum in terms of creating content than a blog or an online course or selling or operating an online store or whatever now the main question before we start in the setup and how to promote and so on the main question will be hassan tell us how we can make money out of this business how we can build a successful online business based on forums and make good amount of money every single month the answer is simple let's go back to the examples this example here if you want to join the community you want to join the forum you have to pay around 14 dollars i think so they have a premium membership an stm also if you want to join you have to pay around 99 per month you can see here i want to join let's see it yes it's 99 each month so it's a membership website if you go to warrior forum it's free to sign up it's free to join and engage but you will see this is an ad this is an ad this is an ad advertised with us so mainly they make money out of banner ads of ads in my forum again you will see it's free you can i am adding here google adsense ads i have here banner ads affiliate ads and much more things you will learn in this course on how you can make passive income from this awesome business so i think the idea now is clear the concept is clear let's go step by step and start implementing setting up a forum like my forum using wordpress which is the easiest way using a free plug and by the way if you have a wordpress website you can follow up directly it's totally free if you don't have a wordpress website don't worry i will show you how to set up one you need a hosting and so on anyway let's start

business before i continue i have three small tiny points i want to share with you number one is the motivation let's go back to my website h-educate.com/forum if i go to similar web extension i will open it and you will see here my traffic you see in december it was 140 000 views on my site in january it pumped up 264 000 views do you see this jump here one of the main reasons is the forum is i

join our telegram channel like one month ago i created a telegram channel where we can live chat together after every single video discussed together if you have any problems so we can chat and help each other so let's continue our work this is our wordpress website and now we need to set up a forum we need to add a forum in this website here we have mainly two strategies please focus very well two strategies number one is to go here to code canyon.net this is the paid method and then we'll go with the three method in this course just to give you this example maybe you are interested in go here to web themes and templates and then go to wordpress section here and simply search for forum now code canyon will give you a lot of ready-made templates for wordpress that is special for forums if you are following me you know before i had this forum old it was a full website that has only a forum you can see here it's a forum this is my old forum by the way now last month i decided to merge the forum to move the forum into my main website here and add it inside my website now you may ask me why simply to centralize management i don't want multiple websites so i merged things together i added things together for central management that's it but maybe you are interested in building such forums such websites that's only a forum like affiliate lift like stm like warrior forum and so on so you can see this is only a forum we don't have anything else it's a forum we can search here for this photo forum we have a lot of forums here themes you can check if you want now to help you i already bought this template so what i will do now is i will run a giveaway on this template it costs around 49 so we have a small giveaway today for this theme if you want to join you can check the link in the description below this is the first strategy is going with a paid theme specialized for forums now in my case i want to use a free method so this is what we are going to go with in this course let's close code canyon and what we are going to do is to set up a forum like my forum which is using a free plug-in by the way it's really an awesome plugin that will that you will see now in this course so let's set up things i will go here back to the dashboard i will go here to plugins add a new plugin i will simply search for wp f-o-r-o this is how it's called wp-4 forum you can see 30 000 active installations 5 star reviews it's a very good compatible with wordpress everything is awesome install now and activate so this is the plugin that i am using in my website and in my experience it's really very good you can see here the forum section now we can manage your forum very nice i think very simple just one small point if you go again to add a new plugins and you search for forums here in the plugins you will see we have different plugins like one's very popular bb press it's very popular plugin to create forums and by the way my old forum was built with bb press so it's up to you you can go with this plug-in but today in this free course i want to share with you my experience with this plug-in which is really very good in terms of managing in terms of tools settings add-ons and many other stuff that you will see right now on the screen so we created the website we installed the plug and let's go back here to my website and refresh to see if anything happened you can see nothing happened here so how we can access the forum let's try this i will go here and write forums we don't have anything here forum nothing here so how we can access the forum let's go back and continue our work so the first step is to go with the basic configuration and configure the forums plugin go to forums go to settings section please follow up here we have a lot of details that will help you manage the forum later on grow it and be successful with this business so this is the forum title this is the forum description you can add whatever you want here if you want to see my examples let's go back here to my website i will go to the dashboard i will show you my back end and let's see what do we have in the settings section in my forum let's go here to forums settings you can see it's called h-educate forum h-educate discussion board whatever you want now let's go back to our work here you can change this title you can see description it's up to you it's based on the niche of the forum we'll talk about niches in a little bit how to select the niche of the forum in minutes please stick with me here we have an important option the forum base url which is by default it's called slash community and not slash forums also if you here we have a checkbox which is very important i mentioned before that you can build a website that is fully a forum and not a part of the website if you want to do this you can turn wordpress to wp4 in this way the full website will be a forum we don't have pages posts and so on now i will keep this off i will keep it as a part of the website and not turn the full website into our forum so here is a slash community i will go and set it to forums and that said this is the main general section update options and here we are this is the basic configuration the forum title the forum url and so on let's change this weird url and use a custom domain name so we can access our website with a simple clean domain name so simply i will copy this domain name now go to my site again manage site go to settings and simply i will change the site url http update save it here and click on save updates i think it's somehow simple now if you go here to eat and read.net you will see that our website will open and it will show you coming soon simply because here in your dashboard there is an activate plugin called a coming soon active plugin let's log in again to show you this wp dash admin i will leave here close all this let's log in with my credentials so you can see that coming soon active plugin here this is why it will show you coming soon in the front and anyway let's visit the site now and let's see if we can access the forums so i will say here slash forums enter and very nice is the forum page and you can see here is our forum it looks really bad it's empty now but the design is very bad because of the theme so i will pick up a different theme to make things somehow clean let's go back to the dashboard appearance themes we will use a free theme also let's see what do we have wordpress.org themes and let's see what do we have here something simple and clean let's search for neve i think it is a free yes this one let's install it to see how things will be with this theme install activate okay so i installed a free theme called nev n-e-v-e let's refresh now this page to see how things will be now and very nice you can see it's simple clean and a professional website with a widgets area here and this is the forum and everything is perfect so till this step we configured the hosting we set up the plugins the domain and the forum is now ready the empty forum is now ready now from now on we will start the real work how to fill up the forum how to launch it how to promote it how to grow how to monetize how to make money and much more this is the main part so please focus very well and stay tuned and follow up with me now you can see this is the forum the main page and we have this message here it will appear only for administrators it will tell you set up google recaptcha security settings anti-spam settings and so on we'll configure all this in a little bit but for now just to take a look we have this is the menu here we have the main categories or the main forums section which is now empty we refer it now and we have the admin control panel which is really very nice so in this plugin you can configure forums add forums directly from the front end which is really very good for administrators here we have the statistics like we have one forum zero topics everything is zero one online which is me so we already know to start configuring this forum let's go back and configure security in the back end section go to forums here go to tools and you will see here we can install akismet plugin for anti-spam and you can configure some settings like google recaptcha and so on let's configure them because it's very important to configure these options for protecting your form from spammers and those people who fill your forum with trash content and maybe they will make you fail with this business so it's really very important it's crucial to configure security tools so the first thing is to enable wp4 spam control and show its yes it's yes by default anyway the second option it tells you if you want to ban a user if he suspected that he's spamming it's by default though and i prefer to set it as no because all spam content will be in the moderation section so you can moderate it you can delete it or whatever and if a user always publish spam he can ban him manually i prefer this method so again it will tell you to install the axismet plugin so let's go here to plugins add a new i will open a new tab and go here to akismet or by default you can see it in the first page akismet plug-in spam protection five million active installations activate the plugin and then you need to enter an api key let's set up the accusment account it will go now to the website i will go now for personnel i'll go with it for free now just for the sake of this course you can start with for free and this is the domain name here very nice continue with personnel i will open my gmail account to get the code akismet support this is the code very nice paste it here continue of course later on you scale up you have a business you need to buy this plug-in to get a subscription really it's very important for forums you will rely on it to filter spammers and protect your forum let's wait a little bit now now let's go back to my email again you will see i have now an api key i will copy it go back to my akismet dashboard enter the api manually this is the api key connect and here we are just save changes and now it's active if we go back here and refresh this will this app be very nice whenever aki smith is con is enabled with this plugin and now you are protected from spammers from spam content from spam comments from spam topics from spam engagements and much more so let's go down here we have google recaptcha which is also very important if you want to protect from fake sign ups from bot sign ups and so on so with a side key and a secret key simply click on this link here and you will go to the captcha admin click on this plus icon enter your domain here i will copy my domain paste it here and go here with recaptcha v2 which is i am not a robot checkbox and then enter a domain name again here very nice accept the terms submit and here we are copy side key paste it here copy secret key paste it here super simple now it will tell you where you want to show this on the guest topic editor say yes if a guest is publishing you need a captcha and the login form i would say no on the login form on the registration form say yes on the recent password say yes and that's it update options and now we protected our forum from fake sign ups and from spammers this is a very important step and we have completed successfully okay friends so now we finished the technical part we are ready to move on and see how we can monetize the forum make money out of the forum fill the form find questions find topics find ideas and much much more so stay tuned if you are tired just sit down relax pause the video drink some water drink some coffee whatever you want and then come back and follow up with me welcome again everyone i hope you are enjoying this free course before we continue i just remembered that we have a running giveaway 2 000 for 20 winners if you like to join check the link in description below and join us anyway so now we have finished our forum i think in my experience the first step to do now is to fill the forum with some content why simply because when someone visits your forum he or she must see some content some questions some answers some valuable content to engage in the forum now your forum is empty so you have to fill it at least with 10 to 15 questions and answers some topics and so on so how to fill the forum let's see together so this is our forum and we need to add some topics some questions some answers and so on of course you have to select topics and things and questions related to your niche now in my case you know my forum is about digital marketing and online business now your niche may be about cooking about dog training maybe about fitness about health i don't know it's up to you it's up to your niche now if you want to know how to select the best niche for your business i have here a full video with a free ebook you can download a lot of ideas you can get totally for free i will keep the link in description below this will help you choose your niche very nice now in my case i will stick to digital marketing and online business because it's my field i know how things work and so on and i can give you the best in this topic so what you are going to do is to utilize mainly for resources or websites number one is go to h-supertools.com if you don't know h-supertools is a free seo digital marketing platform that i developed to help you and me grow online so in this tool go here to seo and then questions explorer so in my case it is about digital marketing and online business so we have email marketing we have facebook ads youtube ads google ads all these are topics in digital marketing and online business so as an example i will say here digital marketing and say search now this awesome tool will give you a lot of questions topics questions that people are asking on the web what questions when questions where questions who why how

you are brainstorming collecting ideas collecting topics to add to your forum write them down use microsoft excel maybe in ocean whatever application maybe your paper your ipad anywhere you can add your topics list them to add to your forum later okay i think the idea is somehow simple the third website is called quora.com quora is one of the best websites to collect content ideas i talked about

find similar forums and collect topics and ideas now after you create a list of questions and answers and topics you want to add to your forum you have to go here and start creating your forums and adding your topics and your questions let's do a small example to see how things work inside wordpress inside this plugin so i'll go back to my dashboard and here in the forums plugin i will go here to forums and you will see now that forums is now empty we don't have any category anything what we are going to do is simply add a new category so i will simply click on this plus icon and add a forum title add a category in the forum i will say here digital marketing whatever you want let's give you an example from my own forum just to see how things work so you can see in h-educate.com/forum now we have a lot of topics we have the getting started i share announcements and forum rules and so on affiliate marketing email marketing online business all these are sub topics in the forum are sub forums in the forum you got my point so here we are adding these forums these topics so people can click and engage in a certain topic so again i will go here and say digital marketing you can add a description whatever you want and add to the main forum say publish and now if you go here and refresh you will see now that we have a topic in the main forum here we have digital marketing why digital marketing came under main forum if you go here back you will see digital marketing is here we will drag this here and then i will simply add a topic in digital marketing let's say i want to add email marketing and the parent forum is digital marketing you have to add a child so to show it in the main form you can see here if a category doesn't have a forum it will not be displayed so now we have main category main forum digital marketing and under it we have email marketing let's go now and refresh our forum to see how it looks now we can see now we have digital marketing in the forums you can see in the for digital marketing we have email marketing and so on so you can add whatever topics you want here do whatever you want and it will appear in the main forum here anyway i don't want to waste more time on this let's do an example how to add a topic inside email marketing let's say click on email marketing and here you can simply add a topic the topic may be a question or simply a small article anything you want to share in the forum so let's say i picked up a question from answer the public let's say what digital marketing means let's say this question and i want to add it here question mark and simply you answer it here so it's like a small topic you are adding it to your forum and this way you can fill up the forum now one trick to do that i did when i started the forum as i created some temp users i went here to members in the forum and simply i created some members sorry here in the wordpress users i click add user and i create a user for me another user let's say user one anything you want you create the user and let this user you publish the questions with this user and you answer it as the admin in this way are filling the forum from different users just to show that there is some engagement in your forum just at the beginning it's like a silly trick but we can use it to fill up the forum and add more content to our

be r shift in search engines and whenever someone comes to your forum they will see some content i hope the idea is somehow simple another important tip or trick to do in your forums i do always is

strategies to make money online out of your forum and later on at the end of this video we have a bonus tip how to scale up and make more money and grow this business from your forum so mainly we have four strategies that we can utilize now directly in your forum to make money number one is simply affiliate marketing if you go back here to my forum and let's say i will open this forum here anything you want first of all you will see that i have here a banner ad at the right in the widget here i am promoting an affiliate service bluehost this is an affiliate banner ad i will show you now a little bit how to add this banner ad please stick with me so number one is promoting affiliate products with banner ads also you can promote affiliate with what we call auto affiliate linking i thought about this before if you go here an example example you can see this blue bold link these are auto linking i talked about this before if you go here to my dashboard i am using a plugin called pretty links if you go to pretty links click on pretty links here you will see now that almost 90 of these are affiliate links if you click on any of these let's say this one edit what's nice about this plugin in the pro version you can go here to the pro section and add keywords so whenever we have this keyword in the forum in your website wherever it comes it will automatically add the affiliate link to it so people are engaging adding questions adding answers and affiliate links are automatically your affiliate links are automatically being added to the forum so anyone who clicks on the link you may have a chance to earn from the commission this is really awesome please focus very well you got my point it's about all to affiliate linking you automatically automate this whenever a keyword is mentioned related to a service you have this will automatically be linked to your affiliate link using pretty links plug-in it's an awesome plug-in by the way and please please go now to my youtube channel after this video and watch my video about how i do affiliate marketing exactly i mentioned a lot of tips and tricks it helps me promote affiliate links what are service i'm using how i manage things everything how i do like couple of thousands of dollars every month from affiliate marketing go now it's really a treasure a superb video please watch it after this video directly i will keep the link also in description below or somewhere here on the screen so the first strategy is using affiliate marketing banner ads and other affiliate links inside the forum to promote affiliate links let's go back here to forums and strategy number two is simply monetizing with ads like google adsense or whatever alternative network in my case i use google adsense if you go here to google adsense home if you go here to ads inside google adsense and simply here go to buy ad unit you can click on display ads after you of course after you submit the website and get approval you can get a horizontal banner ad whatever you want get the code and publish it in your forum now there's a plugin that we can add or an ad on we go here to add manager this add-on which is a paid add-on like 20 dollars i think will help you to automate adding banner ads in your forum it will help you a lot if you want to add maybe sell banner ads or add google ads whatever you want inside the form you can see here in my phone i have this ad this one so all these are added using this add-on that costs like one time twenty dollars if you go here to add-ons to this plug-in the plugin is free if you want an extra add-ons you can go here and see some add-ons like the ad manager you can i installed it i installed also advanced attachments we have all these add-ons you can check by yourself and see if it helps you like adding polls like if you are a programming forum you can add this syntax highlighter embeds we can add micro integration we have a lot of add-ons you can add to your forum using these special add-ons anyway so strategy number two is to monetize with google adsense number three again with ads you can sell banner ads you see this ad here this one this is an ad space i am selling if

attract more people to sign up and engage in your forum this is what we are going to see right now so stay tuned but before this please listen very well to these couple of words a lot of people have a misconception in their minds in their brains they think that the word make money online is that you go to a website and you work for one hour and wow we have 20 dollars it's not like this if you are thinking planning to change your life to build a real business online you really need to work you need to set a plan work every day maybe for two hours but every day be consistent you need to have some discipline some patience to build a real business so if you just build the forum now add some questions and just sit down even if you add some advertisements google asses whatever you will maybe make a couple of cents some dollars whatever it's not a real business if you are thinking about building a real business you have to work on promoting it every single day until it reaches a point like in my case i worked hard for maybe more than two years to publish a website to have a website like h-educate today with around 300 000 visitors i have more than 400 000 followers on different social profiles and so on i worked hard to reach this point but when you reach this you will have a strong online business you will have a fixed online revenue every single month profit you can scale up you can think about growing and so on you will have real business so please get rid of this silly ideas about making money online those scammy videos that waste your time and build a real business i always share with you real experience real case studies something that really works please go ahead watch learn and apply learning alone is nothing it's not the key if you have the knowledge without applying you are not doing anything you have to apply it test it you may fail then try again you may fail you then try again and again until you will be successful at that point you will feel that you have something real now anyway let's go back to our work we have to work on promoting this forum to reach more people how to promote mainly we have two methods we have paid methods paid advertising paid ads or free methods of course paid advertising is faster but requires a budget simple while free methods are totally free requires some more work from you even though even though here on my
