I am very excited today because I have just come across something that quite blew me away, it is so fantastic! It is called WordPress Classroom 2.o. I absolutely wanted to see what it is all about, because I love WordPress and building blogs and websites with it, I think it’s the coolest blogging (and website) platform out there. So I signed up and got hooked!
I remember what a hard time I had when I wanted to learn the “How to” of WordPress, and all the associated options with it. There is a lot to learn, and it is just so much easier if you have a good guide that shows you how to do it. And that’s exactly what WordPress Classroom 2.o does. A pretty well known guy (in the Internet Marketing world, anyway named Matthew Wolfe created it, and the best part is it is all VIDEOS!!! – I personally learn a lot better if I can follow a video rather than just writing! His WordPress Classroom 2.o is packed with clever videos doing the “show all” and “tell all” of WordPress. You will really be a pro after going through all his stuff!
Matthew is just such a nice guy, because he created these really cool instructional videos that teach you how to set up your own blogging business and now he is giving them away for free!! There are something like 15 videos that walk you through the whole thing step by step.
I only had to look at 2 of his free videos and already learned something really cool I had no idea about – it’s about hiding affiliate links (if you click on that, you will get to my “old” post about hiding affiliate links; that’s the hard way of doing it). Matthew has shown me something so simple in his tutorials, it’s crazy. No more stuffing around with .php files and FTP! — I won’t tell you what it is, that would somewhat spoil it for you .
If you have followed me for a while, you should know that I never recommend anything if I am not convinced it’s really good. After all, I have been burnt so many times, and I don’t want anybody else to go through what I did.
So, trust me, if you really are serious about making money with WordPress blogs and websites, then head over to WordPress Classroom 2.0 and grab the free videos before Matthew decides to pull them down!
If you have been following me along you will know that I have – after many different approaches – finally settled on building niche websites as my way of earning money through the Internet. I have literally come full circle. In February/March 2008 I learned how to build my first niche website from absolute scratch, as a total beginner, and that site is, to this day, my biggest earner when it comes to making money as an Affiliate Marketer. It’s, of course, Beach Decor. Continue reading →
A couple of days ago I received an email in my inbox promoting the new free WordPress plugin SEO Power; it is supposed to improve your site’s Google ranking and bring in more traffic.
Naturally curious, I had to check out the site, of course! And I am a bit of a sucker for plugins, especially free ones…
After downloading and activating the plugin (you will get video instructions on how to do this, if you should not know), I have to say that I am really impressed with the features! Continue reading →
Hey everybody, I am back online! Have been for about 3 or so weeks, to be honest. I just had to play “catch up” with my real life, after 5 weeks offline and a business to run it took (and still takes) a lot of time to re-organize and get up to date with everything. So my Internet Marketing has – again – taken a bit of a back seat.
If you have been reading my blog you have seen that, after lots of trials and errors, I have finally come to realize that the one way for me to earn a living of the Internet is “Building Niche Websites” and earning money through those sites with Google Adsense and Revenue from Affiliate Programs like Amazon.com or Ebay Partnernetwork.
Building Niche Websites is not the only way to earn money on the Internet, for example you can build email lists, too, but I have come to realize that it is not for me as I do not want to have to constantly write emails to my list to make money from it. It’s just not me. Admitted, if you do it right you can probably earn a hell of a lot of money from it, but you need to be prepared to put the expertise and hours into it. Continue reading →
Just a brief note that me and my family have moved house at the end of last week, and I haven’t got internet access right now. I am writing this post from the public library. I want you all to have patience with me until we are back on track and connected. Thanks!!!
Most of us would have heard of theAmazon Affiliate Program, maybe you have even joined it and are trying to make some money with it. That’s what we Affiliate Marketers are here for, after all! And the Amazon Affiliate Program is one of the biggest and most well known affiliate programs out there, next to EBay Partnernetwork, Clickbank, LinkShare and so on.
The question when joining any affiliate program is always, will it be worth it to do so? Or will I be wasting my time? Well, I will tell you my story and let you decide!Continue reading →
You will probably not believe me when I tell you that I only just realized what I am going to tell you!!! — That sounds funny, but it’s exactly how it is!
If you have a blog and are trying to maintain it, you will most likely be struggling with creating fresh content on a regular basis. That is at least my big downfall, I just lack the time to research and put together new and interesting posts in the field of Internet Marketing regularly. But we are all being told how important it is to continuously update our blogs or sites and add fresh and unique content, as this is what can push us up in Google rankings. And that’s the ultimate goal, right? To reach one of the front pages of Google. Continue reading →
Now, I actually posted this a couple of days ago, and straight after posting my sidebars lost a few of their widgets, so I had to delete the post and have my fantastically helpful hosting company re-build the site from before posting this post (Paula and Dan from D9Hosting are fabulous, whenever I have a problem they get back to me personally within hours!).
Never mind, I still want you to have this post, I might just try and leave out the screen shots I did – you will still be able to follow, trust me. So here it goes: Continue reading →
The other day I was browsing through my ever overflowing email inbox, and I came across one of good ‘ol Travis from the Bum Marketing Method (remember, he is one of the one’s who’s list I kept subscribed to – thanks, Travis!! ) which compelled me to have a quick look (his subject line read just “AWESOME”).
Here is what he passed on to his loyal subscribers, and I enjoyed watching this so much that I had to pass it on to you, too. It is a short 9 minute video, but it is so jam packed with great life lessons that it leaves you feeling like everything is possible.
We, as Internet Marketers especially, get often so much negative feedback from our loved ones around us (especially when we haven’t quite gotten to earning a real living online yet), and we often suffer so many set backs and hurdles along the way that we all need strong stamina and tenacity, and belief in our ultimate goal. It is so easy to lose focus and be discouraged, and at times it takes a lot of strength to keep going and keep faithful of the outcome.
This video will pick you up, and give you that special “shiver” down the spine that will make you keep going and keep at it. Because that’s one of the most important things in Internet Marketing – to keep going, and never give up. Believe and you WILL get there.
And there is so much more in that video, it’s just brilliant.
Enough said, here it is!!! Enjoy! – P.S. Please re-tweet freely, many people would probably love to listen to it…
I wish you all a great start into a very Happy New Year! May it be happy, healthy and prosperous for all of you, and may it bring you the success in Internet Marketing that you all deserve!
Here is a recipe of an “out of this world” fabulous dip to be had with bread/chips/vegetables – it is absolutely fantastic and I wanted to share it with you here. It is called “Jack-O-Lantern” dip but it can be used for any occasion. Bon Appetit!
