The Ultimate WordPress Guide


Wordpress Classroom DVD Cover The Ultimate WordPress Guide

Your WordPress Video Tutorials

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 icon wink The Ultimate WordPress Guide 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 icon wink The Ultimate WordPress Guide .

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! icon surprised The Ultimate WordPress Guide

    This sounds like it could be a good guide. Does it include template creation? Because that’s what I really need to learn about, and the wordpress loop. I just can’t get my head around it to be honest.

    So far I have not seen any video about creating a template – but that’s not really what WordPress is about. WordPress offers so many free (and paid) templates there should be some for everybodys needs. And what is the “WordPress loop”? I have never heard of that.

    Yeah, it definitely helps to have a thorough guide rather than trying to learn everything yourself. When the web makes information sharing so easy, there is no need to go through all the same beginner mistakes as everyone else. You might as well learn from people who have the experience.

    Hmm, if you mean me with “you lot” then I have to tell you that I don’t have the time to do everything that is needed to make money, – that’s why there is now only a blog post every month or so, and my income only increases by minimal amounts :( No matter how much you know about making money on the Internet, if you don’t have time to put into it, the income will stay on a Hobby level for quite a long time, too. That doesn’t phase me though, I think eventually I will reach higher levels if I continue to work little by little at it, in the small amount of time that I have. That’s the good thing about Internet Marketing – your little efforts can grow bigger over time, and whatever you do on the Net will stay there and work for you for years to come.

    The drag and drop navigation UI and the easy background setup are 2 new features that take WordPress to a new level of user friendliness and ease of use. The menus setup addition is the final word that WP is a lot more than just a blogging platform, and can be used to build most of the websites out there.

It’s the death of every Affiliate Marketer. Concentrate on one or two things and stick with them. Like, I have decided to earn money from building niche websites. No PPC, or List building etc. One thing, and stick with it.

    Definitely, I share your enthusiasm on WordPress and the overwhelming but exciting learning curve to absorb and apply all the “how-to’s” for building and developing successful blogs.

    Videos are the best way to learn for most people as it offers live instructions as if you had the internet teacher besides you for real giving you the right guidance.

    Have been using WP platform for two years and I plan to stick with it and get more educated with new resources like the one you present here.
