ASM Module 4: Creating Your 
Brand Website, Part Two  
 
 

In this lesson, you will add content to your existing wix.com website, 
and connect it to your brand URL. 

This Lesson Covers: 

1. Adding Posts 

2. Adding Your Domain Name to Your Website  

1. Adding Posts  
Your potential buyers will be wary of a brand website that has no content, and that can 
cause them to lose trust in you. But adding recent content does not have to take up all 
of your valuable time!  
 
Take these steps to add content to your wix.com website:  
 
1. Click inside the content box on your home page, then click “Settings.” This brings 
you to a pop-up that looks like this:

2. Click on the different layouts until you find one that best suits the look of your 
website. Click the “X” at the top right of the popup to close it, after you have 
found a layout that you like.  
3. Click “My Blog” in the left sidebar, then click “Add a New Blog Post.” The blog 
page will look something like this:

4. Note: ​Try to ALWAYS use original content that you created, in the future. For now, 
you can add someone else’s content, but you must link to it, and give them credit.  
5. Go to google.com and search for content relevant to your product (e.g. 
“Mountain Biking”). Click the link to an article that looks interesting.  
6. Highlight and copy the ​title​ of the article, then go back to your Wix page. Paste 
the title into the box that says “Add a Catchy Title.” 
7. Go back to the article, then right click on the image and click “Save Image As…” 
Enter a name for the image, then click “Save.” Skip this step is there is no 
accompanying image. 
8. Go back to your Wix page and click inside the text box, underneath the title, to 
make sure your cursor is inside the box. Then, click the image icon at the bottom 
of the box, which looks like this:  

 
9. Click “Upload Images” in the pop-up box, select the image that you just saved, 
then click “Done.” Click “Apply,” and the image should be added to your post.  
10. Go to the article, then highlight and copy the text of the article. Go back to your 
Wix page, then right-click in the text box underneath the image, and paste the 
article. Once you’ve made sure the formatting looks right, click “Publish.”  
11. Important: Always include a link to that website at the bottom of your post—do 
not take credit for other people’s work!  
12. Click “Publish Post.”  
13. Repeat this process four or five more times, so that you have a fair amount of 
content on your site when it goes live.  
14. Note: ​Your blog post will remain unpublished until your website goes live.

Deleting a blog post  
 
What happens when you decide that a post you made isn’t right for your site? Delete it 
by taking the following steps:  
 
1. Click “My Blog” in the left sidebar, then click “Manage Your Blog.”  
2. Scroll down until you find the post you want to get rid of, click the trash can icon 
to the right of that post, then click “Move to Trash” in the pop-up window.  
3. Click the “x” at the top right of the window exit out of the blog manager. The post 
should be gone from your page.  
4. Repeat this process for any articles that don’t relate to your product (including 
the ones that came with the template).  
 
Publishing your webpage  
 
We recommend reviewing​ ​and testing ​every part of your website​ before making it live. 
When you are satisfied with the site:  
 
1. Click “Publish” at the top right of the page. You will see a congratulatory pop-up:

2. Click “Done.”  
3. Your website is now live!  

2. Adding Your Domain Name to Your Website  

When you link your domain name to your wix website, people type in ​your URL address​, 
and are taken directly to the wix site. Using your ​own ​domain name, rather than the one 
wix.com provided you with, makes it easier for people to remember your brand. 
 
We do not recommend buying a domain through Wix, ​since their prices do go up 
steeply over time. Instead, buy a domain name through ​namecheap.com​ (or 
godaddy.com​).  
 
Take the following steps to link your domain name to your wix.com webpage:  
 
1. Go to your wix.com “Account Settings” page, hover your cursor over 
“Subscriptions,” then click “Domain” from the drop-down menu.   
2. Do not​ click “Buy a new domain name”–get your domain name either through 
godaddy.com or namecheap.com, if you have not already purchased one.

3. Click “Connect to a domain you already own,” click “Select a plan” in the pop-up 
menu—to use this feature ​you must upgrade to a paid plan​. We recommend 
using the “Combo” plan for now, which allows you to connect your domain to 
their website, and removes wix advertising from your page.  
4. Click “Select” in the Monthly Plan column, click the circle next to “Monthly 
Subscriptions: $14.50 month to month,” then click “Select.”  
5. Enter your credit card information, then click “Submit Purchase.” When the 
transaction is finished, you will be brought to this page:  
 

 
 
6. Scroll down the page and click “Already have a domain? Connect it.”  
7. Enter your domain name and click “Next.”  
8. Scroll down the page and copy the DNS provided for you in the next page 
(highlighted below):

9. Go to your domain name provider (for this example, we are using namecheap), 
click “Manage” next to your domain name, then scroll down the page until you 
see “NAMESERVERS.”  
10. Click “Namecheap BasicDNS” select “Custom DNS” from the drop-down menu, 
then paste in the two nameservers that you just copied, one at a time:  
 

 
 
11. Click the green check mark, and your domain will update itself with the new 
information—this normally happens within an hour or so.  
12. Go back to wix.com, and click “Next” to connect to a domain you already own. 
Your domain connection should be live within 48 hours.  
13. Now, when people type in your domain name, they will be taken straight to your 
brand website.

If you still want someone to build your site for you, take the following steps:  
 
1. Go to ​www.fiverr.com​ and search for “Build a wix site.”  
2. On the results page, click the drop-down menu next to “Sort by:” and select “Avg. 
Customer Review.”  
3. Scroll down and review the designers, then select one to build your wix site, the 
same way that you chose one to create your logo.  
 
Congratulations, you have created your own brand website, with no hosting required! 
Now, you have a fully customized website, and will soon learn how to get the absolute 
most out of it!  
 
It’s time to head over to the next lesson, where you will learn how to create your own 
YouTube channel, and get even more exposure for your brand.
