In my opinion and many others, WordPress powered blogs are the best way to blog. In fact many people are using free WordPress powered websites as their main website platform.
Why?
Because the WordPress powered blogs are so versatile and easy to use. With a free WordPress powered website you are able to easily integrate different plug ins to optimize your blogging effectiveness. Other blogs require you to dig into the code in order to make any changes.
There are also literally thousands of free templates and themes to choose from to make your free WordPress powered website more attractive and professional looking to your customers.
To get your free WordPress powered website you are going to first need a domain name. I use http://www.namecheap.com/ You can register your domain name for only $9.29 a year.
Once you have your domain name, you will need a host/server to run your site and to upload your blog to.
The best part is, you can have WordPress installed to your host for absolutely free. However, it does take some time to learn how to make that happen.
If you do not feel comfortable or care to learn how to create a new database, run some basic ftp software, and change a few file permissions that’s certainly understandable.
You can outsource all the work to me… FOR FREE!
That’s right. I am willing to offer the following services at absolutely no cost to you…
First, Ill let you choose your own template from thousands (literally) of WordPress blog themes.
Next I will configure your server and setup a new MySql database.
Then I will install your blog fully equipped with all of the following:
* Akismet – Akismet checks your comments against the Akismet web service to see if they look like spam or not.
* All in one SEO pack – SEO’s all of your blog posts putting your blog post first and blog title second in the title bar along with other options as well.
* Digg This – Adds Digg story link on detection on Digg referrer.
* Google Sitemap Generator – This plug in will generate a sitemaps.org compatible sitemap of your WordPress blog which is supported by Ask.com, Google, MSN Search and YAHOO.
* Do Follow – All WordPress blogs come standard with the rel=”nofollow” attribute meaning users who leave comments will not be rewarded a back link. Do follow disables the rel=nofollow attribute in comments.
* Sociable – A simple plug in which lists a range of social bookmarking sites allowing visitors to quickly socially bookmark the post/page they are currently viewing.
* WhyDoWork Adsense – Will allow you to customize the placement of Google Adsense ads in different areas of your blog.
* Subscribe to Comments – Allows users(readers) to receive notifications of new comments that are posted after their own.
* What Would Seth Godin Do – Displays a custom welcome message to new visitors and another to return visitors.
Aside from all the add-ons and plug ins, I will also have email consultation for any questions or concerns you may have about WordPress and blogging in general. I will also sign you up for a free version of Statcounter and upload it to all of your pages to give you amazing statistics about how the traffic is finding your website. Don’t underestimate this bonus. You can and should use this knowledge to your complete advantage.
The only stipulation is that you have to sign up through Host4Profit and through the following banner…
If you decide to use my free WordPress Powered Website services, heres what you have to do next…
Once you have your domain name and webhost setup (It usually take Host4Profit about 2 hours or less) Find a template or blog theme of your choice. There are thousands of them. You can do a search, find one you like, then email me at matthelphrey@gmail.com
In your email make sure to include your name and the url (http://pageoftemplatedownload.com) of the page where I can download your selected template. If not I will just set you up with the default WordPress template or choose one for you.
I also need some log in, password, and ftp information for your Host4Profit account in order to do the install. This is very important. When you signed up for your website at Host4Profit, you should have gotten an email from their support, subject “Welcome To Host4Profit” In this email I will need all of the information under “Publishing Your Website”…
SERVER NAME : yourdomain.com
or yourd.my-ehost.com
UPLOAD DIRECTORY :
USERNAME :
PASSWORD :
In this email you send to me I will also need a valid email address where I can reach you and the blog title of your new blog (which can be changed anytime).
That’s it! A free WordPress Powered Website all setup for you for absolutely no extra cost.
If you already have a host and are just looking for someone to install it, I will offer these same services at a cost of $50. Just send me an email matthelphrey@gmail.com with all the above information, I’ll make sure everything checks out, then you will see a request from PayPal for the $50. After that I will get straight to work.
Happy Blogging,
Matt Helphrey
