What is WordPress?

If you’re struggling with WordPress, then you’re about to be extremely happy. Learn About WordPress

WordPress Themes, WordPress Plugins, WordPress Widgets, I had no idea what they were talking about. It was all a foreign language to me until…

Last summer I attended a three day workshop hosted by Loral Langemeier.

During those three days Loral kept talking about ‘WordPress.’ WordPress does this and WordPress does that. It was as if she had an obsession with the Free web-based software. 

 

It was obvious that Loral was in love with the whole WordPress setup. She kept emphasizing how it was something she uses for her business and a tool we all should be using in order to grow our business Online and it’s FREE!

When I got home I set upon the daunting task of creating another website for my husband’s brick and mortar business and for myself. I convinced my husband he needed to blog to promote his window tinting business, and I needed a website for my new ebook business which I had developed while at the workshop.

My budget for starting a business was zero, so any tools that would enhance my business and were FREE! I had no option but to check out.

Yes! You guessed it, I investigated ‘WordPress.’

Actually being completely honest with you right now and totally embarrassed to actually admit this, I had given myself the title of webmaster for several years after creating quite a number of website using Microsoft Expressions web and Web Easy Software. But WordPress scared me.

I already had a hosting account, then after buying a highly searched keyword domain name I logged into my WordPress.org account.

“Dashboard” OK! On the left side there were all kinds of link tabs called all different names. Posts, Media, Links etc. To the right of the page there was what looked like a couple of empty text boxes. OK! Now what?

I set to work.

I managed to place my business logo in the header section of my web page. Then I added a picture of myself in the post in the upper left hand corner and began typing my headline caption.


Hey! What happened?

My picture disappeared!

I repeated the steps again only this time the picture and text stayed where I had placed them.

“Looking good!” Was my thought for that moment?

I leaned back in my chair and felt proud of myself. Hey! I’m doing this all by myself with no help!

“I can do this WordPress thing. Now I have no idea why I was so afraid to get started?”

Now I needed to type in my body text then add more photos.

Hey!

What the .… happened???

That picture is not supposed to be over there on the right!

After adding then deleting then adding and deleting again the photo and font kept ended up in totally the wrong place.


I was #@!!% stumped.

After countless hours of performing the same task over and over again only to end up with the same stupid result, ‘A Disaster!’ I arouse from my chair and walked away from my computer in total disgrace. Bbbuuttttt… I’m a webmaster?

“Let me go back to what I know and that’s, Web Easy,” was my thought. I’ll wait till tomorrow as I’m too stressed out right now.

Web Easy and Microsoft is what I know how to use, even though I have to do all the SEO stuff myself and know some HTML coding and everything seems to take forever, but it’s what I know!

The next day I attended my mentor’s webinar Keith Dougherty, and once again there’s Keith talking all about Yep! WordPress!

I typed in the chat box, “Anyone know where I can watch some really good videos on How to Use WordPress?”

“Hey Fay!” Keith’s voice boomed through my speakers, Chad just typed in the chat box that he has an awesome series of 24 videos that teach you step by step how to use WordPress.

Cool!! I typed back, “have him send me the link,” was my excited but optimistic response.

Within three days after watching all 24 Awesome! Videos and reading Quick WordPress for Beginners eBook, I have learned, mastered and conquered my fear of using WordPress!

Within 3 days after setting up my husband’s blog and making a couple of posts using highly searched keywords using my micro niche finder software, our blog post on the topic of window tinting ranked on the first page of Google.

I’m so excited to share with you these videos that totally made a difference to our business. WordPress totally enhances the visibility of your blog and website on the search engines.

Yup! You click a check box on a post and it becomes a stick page.

(A Website Page) How cool is that! 

 

 

 


I became so confident after watching the videos and reading the eBook available on this website, I gave a presentation on WordPress to a group of business people. That was so much fun!

More visibility means more visitors to view your Products, Service or Non Profit website or blog.

When you Click Here you can view the actual snapshot results of my husband’s blog posts for his Tint Professor blog posts on Google search engine.

I was totally blown away!

Doing it the old fashioned way used to take weeks before I saw any results on any of the search engines.

MLM And More Blogging For Business Tips

May.31, 2011 in Learn About WordPress Comments Off

You’ve decided to “go for it” and create a blog about your MLM business. You’re well on your way to becoming a blogger of some expertise, but are running out of ideas to make it fresh and appealing. Here are a few things you can do to spice things up.

You can add extra facts not found in an article, show your own expertise in the area or invite others to submit their observations. No matter what way you choose to do it, you win! Remember, with a blog you need to get to the point fast as there isn’t lots of room to write a novel. Best you don’t do the essay route either as these days people don’t have enough time to be reading lengthy articles on the Net. What you’re really doing for them is pre-screening or filtering sites that would be of interest, quality sites, because you’ve already checked them out. This brings us to another point, having an audience vs. a public. An audience is passive. A public participates, which is what you want with your blog because ultimately, you want leads.

Another angle you can explore with your blog is how you want to write it. It can be a mixture of links, commentary and personal notes, or a record of your own thoughts (a quick reflection on something you observed or tried at work) Whichever style you choose, remember to make it distinctive to you, written in your own voice, letting your personality come to the fore. This makes sense, because one of the principle tenets of relationship marketing is getting to know your prospects, and letting them get to know you.

10 Steps to Dominating Google.

Feb.18, 2011 in Tutorials on WordPress Comments Off

Let your friends do your SEO for you!

Google is monetizing the entire ‘BUZZ’ about you and your blog posts.

Long gone are the days of traditional SEO. Today! It’s all about what people are saying about you or your product or service that counts.

The ‘Buzz’ that you’re creating on the Internet is what Google is watching for with robots and spiders. It’s like that old saying “You should be rewarded for your effort?” Well! Google realizes this and doing so accordingly. To be exact Google is rewarding you for keyword searched content, helpful information and responding comments from your friends on your blog posts and videos.

It’s all about activity, (The Buzz!) that you are creating with your valuable posts on your blog and on the social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, etc., and the links that you are collecting from your friends and passing them along to others, that is now what Google is rewards you for.

So let’s get you started on your road to success:

Step 1. Choose a Domain name that is keyword search related to your product or
service. (Use caution when choosing a domain name that is brand name
recognized.) Recommended Domain name service: GoDaddy

Step 2. Sign up for a hosting account for your WordPress blog. Recommendation use
Hostgator or Bluehost as they offer Cpanel.

Step 3. Create a WordPress blog. If you are not familiar with WordPress you can higher
out for this service, or watch video tutorial or read WordPress for Dummies
book available on Amazon or your local book store.

Step 4. Create a Youtube account if one is not already setup. Design your Youtube
channel. Make sure you complete your profile information on your channel and
don’t forget to include your website URL.

Step 5. From your WordPress blog make a post into a sticky page (your sales page) to
add content and videos to that page. To create a sticky page, add a new post
and open up the publish tab and click on ‘Visibility: Public’ then add a check
mark next to ‘Stick this post to the front page.’ This page now becomes a
regular website page. (Your sales page.)

Step 6. Activate the Permalink setting. Under the Settings tab click on Permalinks.
Under Custom Structure type in: /%category%/%postname%/. This will convert
your post URL into the keywords that you name your post, rather than numbers.

Step 7. Create an informative, interesting or funny video. The video needs to create a
“Buzz” for those who watch it, so they ‘Like’ it and recommend it to others.
You can upload a video from your mobile devise or create a video using
‘Windows Movie Maker’ which is Free! Or for Mac users you can use ‘Screen
Flow’ or ‘iMovie.’ Upload your video to your Youtube channel and also post it to
the Social Media sites. Make sure you include a link to your website.

Step 8. Install ‘HTML5 and Flash Video Player’ as well as ‘Google XML Sitemap for
video plugins to your WordPress blog website.

Step 9. Start blogging valuable content from your WordPress blog.
Google loves information. That’s why we all use the internet right? Were
all searching for ‘the answer’. So make sure you offer good content. The more
valuable information you create the more activity, “Buzz” you stir on
social media sites and amongst friends, the more Google takes note of what
you’re written and talking about in videos. The more “Buzz” your stir on your
site from people linking and passing along your videos to others the sooner
Google rewards you in the search engine rankings.

Step 10. This is the most important step that cannot be overlooked when you have
gone to all that trouble of creating activity (‘BUZZ) on the Internet. This is
where so many people fail who are Internet marketers, Network Marketers or
even selling a product or service Online.

DON’T FORGET TO ASK YOUR VISITOR TO TAKE ACTION!

This might seem obvious to you but it’s amazing how many people on the net
are afraid to ask their visitor to their site to either submit their email address to
receive more valuable free content, or buy what you are selling!
You went to all that effort to create a “Buzz” and get visitor’s to your site, don’t
faultier when it comes to the part of asking for them to take action!
Have someone read your website sales copy to make sure you don’t fail with
your call to action!

Treat your Online business as if it were a brick and mortar business and you
will be successful Don’t let them just click away!

Happy Blogging!

Let your friends do your SEO for you!

Exclude Pages on your WordPress website or blog.

Feb.17, 2011 in Tutorials on WordPress Comments Off

This plugin adds a checkbox, “include this page in menus”, which is checked by default. If you uncheck it, the page will not appear in any listings of pages (which includes, and is usually limited to, your page navigation menus).

If you add a Sales Squeeze to your WordPress blog or site you can attach the page but not have it displayed as a tab. This allows you to host that squeeze page on your blog.

Sitemaps are a way to tell Google, Bing and other search engines about web pages, images and video content on your site that they may otherwise not discover.
