How to Set Up a Free Wordpress Blog in 5 Minutes

Fri, 27 Aug 2010 11:07:22 +0000

I’ve had a ton of people ask me lately how to get started marketing online, and more importantly how to get up their first website and start making money in the fastest time possible.

Most of you guys know, I am not a big techie person. And I always tell people that the best way to get started marketing online is by setting up a free WordPress blog. You can set up and update your blog with a few easy clicks!

Even if you don’t know anything about HTML or setting up a web page (I still don’t know HTML!), let me show you a real easy way to get a web page set up in minutes—literally!

Here’s what I did–first, I set up a Wordpress blog. It was really easy setting up a blog.

I just went into my cpanel within my Host Gator web hosting account, and I clicked the Fantastico button, and my WordPress blog was set up automatically.

Boom—instant website! How’s that for easy?

Now the thing about WP blogs is that WordPress sets up the shell, but then you can customize it and make it look however you want.

You do this by installing themes and plug-ins. There are millions of free themes to choose from, and more plug-ins than you can ever hope to use. I’ll list the plug-ins that I am using so that you don’t have to go searching endlessly for the right ones.

I found a free theme for my WordPress blog within Wordpress; I downloaded it, and then uploaded it with my FTP software. I then went to get some plug-ins for my WordPress blog (and you can search for these various plug-ins from within WordPress).

The plug-ins that I decided to use and that I recommend, are the following:

- All in One SEO Pack
- Add to Any: Share/Save/Bookmark Button
- Viper’s Video Quicktags
- WordPress.com Stats
- WP-EMail
- WP-EMail Widget
- AddThis Social Bookmarking Widget
- Google XML Sitemaps
- Ultimate Google Analytics
- Wordpress Video Plugin
- WP-SpamFree
- WP tags to Technorati

There are a lot of these plug-in, and millions of free themes to choose from with WP. You can tweak your blog, and add widgets, and start adding content that is important to you—that is the best things about blogs! Blogs are so unique and personal—you can really make them reflect your personality and your business any way that you want.

Strategies to Get More Traffic With Wordpress

Wed, 25 Aug 2010 11:06:23 +0000

Blogs have become very powerful and can do fantastic things for a business. Because they are very Search Engine friendly they can work to increase traffic to your website very quickly.

A blog is simply an easy way to share your thoughts, ideas and even promote your products or services. People are on the internet searching for information that interests them and once they find a site that provides good updated content about their interests they will most likely keep coming back for more

Implement some of these strategies and you’ll see traffic building fast.

1) Wordpress is the best blogging platform

I recommend Wordpress self hosted platform for a number of reasons. If you’re into Internet Marketing or just Blogging for the long run you’ll want to brand yourself and make it easy for people to find your site.

2) Get your own domain name

As I mentioned before you’ll need to brand yourself and having a domain name related to your product or service is the first step. There are many hosting companies that offer great service and pricing but Hostgator is one of the best in my opinion. They will help you to set up your Wordpress blog or standard website.

3) Choose your Wordpress template wisely

There are so many free Wordpress templates available that it can become overwhelming. To start with choose one that is visually appealing and that is plugin ready. Plugins are free as well an can add additional functionality to your Wordpress blog.

4) All in One SEO Pack pluging is a must that will help to increase traffic

The -All in One SEO Pack- will help optimize your Wordpress blog for Search Engines. – It automatically optimizes titles for search engines – Generates META tags for you, – Avoids duplicate content that can be a problem with Wordpress blogs

5) Google XML Sitemap plugin

This plugin will create a Google sitemaps compliant XML-Sitemap of your WordPress blog. It will support pages Wordpress and custom pages. Every time you edit or create a post, your sitemap will be updated and all of the major search engines that support the sitemap protocol, like ASK.com, Google, MSN Search and YAHOO, are notified about the update.

6) Content for your Blog

You will need to work on creating original content for your site and updating it on a regular basis. Content refers to the articles or postings that you write and publish on your blog. It should be relevant to your niche so that when people search for information about your niche they can be referred to your site by the search engines.

7) Getting more traffic to your site

There are many free ways to get additional traffic to your blog. Article Marketing is one way. Posting comments on related blogs is another and visiting forums and becoming part of the community will also get you more visibility.

Having a popular and successful blog will take some time even though some may tell you otherwise. It will take hard and consistent work as well as good content and the willingness to educate yourself about SEO and web traffic. If you will take the time to write good content and work on getting traffic you will have no trouble increasing website traffic over time. Staying focused, having a plan and not giving up too quickly. After building a readership you will be able to keep them coming back as long as you post on a regular basis and give your readers information they’re interested in.
