Thanks guys. If you haven’t seen it check out 7 Tips report on the front end. The real meat though is in the back end. Gold members get a monthly review of 3 themes and a variety of plugins that work well with them. Also, video tutorials to walk you through the upload and turning all the plugins properly.
I will also be adding a variety of short videos. Currently they cover using FTP, working with zip files and verification process for Google sitemaps. More will be added. Leave a comment with your ideas of what would be helpful.
I have always known that using plugins properly and creating a search engine friendly blog helps your traffic.
The speed that it can happen sometimes is amazing. Search engines like blogs.
Here is an example – I posted on the 13th at my marketing blog about Mike Filsaime’s “The Death of Internet Marketing” report. Not unusual in and of itself. You can see the post here.
Another blogger decided to make a post about Mike Fisaime and this report the next day. Guess who ended up being quoted the next day because of his search? You got it. Less than 24 hours later someone searching on that topic comes up with my post in their search.
Taking the time to tweak your blog does pay off. Using the plugins properly will make a huge difference for you. If you aren’t using pluguns for technorati tags, changing your meta tags, adding a Google sitemap you are missing tons of traffic. You can fine more information on this at Word Press Made Easy.
Well the site is now live. If you visit Word Press Made Easy you can see and actually purchase the product.
If you have always wanted to know how hard it is to change a blog from looking like this to the look of this blog you are reading you might want to check it out.
I installed both of these blogs while recording the results. You will be able to watch me create and customize a brand new blog. Start with getting the zip file from Word Press and ending with a customized blog.
Also, did it the easy way using Fantastico which only takes about 4 minutes from the start until you have a blog at least up and running.
You get a book and videos that will allow you to follow me as I actually do this step by step. Even a couple nice bonuses that will explain some strange things to a new person like FTP and unzipping.
So if you have considered using Word Press and just did not know if you could handle the technical stuff check out Word Press Made Easy.
All that remains is for the payment buttons to be made live. That will happen on August 3rd. Probably will be early morning.
I am off to go see the Lion King at the Academy of Music in Philiadelphia. This is my Christmas present but have had to wait as even back in November this was the earliest seats that were available.
If you are someone that has received or purchased Word Press Made Easy in the prelaunch phase you may now access the forum here.
All sections have been added and there are instructions on how to get access to the private sections.
JV partners will get a mailing from me over the weekend with a sample mailing for their lists.
Things are coming together quite nicely and I have had the videos worked over by a video expert. This has reduced the download size tremendously without a loss of clarity in the videos. Thanks RC.
If you are looking for help with videos for any of your projects contact me and I will gladly get you in touch with RC.
