Why You Fail At Internet Marketing
WordPress Secrets
By Jason Fladlien
Introduction
We love WordPress. In a matter of seconds, for free - you can have a pro-looking site that is very "search engine friendly". And it's so easy to use. If you haven’t messed around with WordPress yet - you're in for a treat. This report will show you the easiest ways to use WordPress to get traffic, make money, establish a presence of authority, build a list and do a whole of other cool and profitable stuff.
Installing WordPress
This is really easy. We recommend you use "Fantastico" and you can do it in seconds. The only requirement is your web hosting has to provide cpanel access. Host Gator is one of the best and cheapest companies to get a hosting account from to host your blog. Say your domain was "mydomainURL.com". To log into cpanel, you just type in the address "mydomainURL.com/cpanel" - it's that easy. Once you log in, hit control + f and do a find for "fan", and this will reveal a smiley icon called Fantastico. Click on that, then on the left menu click "WordPress" and follow the simple step by step instructions. After installation be sure to type in your email address to have your WordPress settings emailed to you. You're up and rocking.
Picking Your Theme
There are so many wonderful themes you can choose from to install on your WordPress blog for free.
Again, this will help you get more traffic in the search engines because it makes it more "Google friendly".
The Difference Between Pages and Posts
Posts are what you'll mainly use when you update your blog. For example at http://jmflad.com Jason's latest post shows up directly below the banner ad that he has on his site. His pages, on the other hand, show up at the top of the site right next to "Fladlien Productions". You see pages like home, about, contact us, earning disclaimer, privacy policy. So posts will be inserted in your main theme area when you add new content. Pages are inserted in your navigation bar automatically, wherever that is located at in your theme. With pages, you can also have hierarchy levels. For example you might have a page you created that says Resources... and you want to put two pages underneath that page. One might be "reports" and the other might be "software". When creating a page, first log into your WordPress admin panel. Then click on “pages”, then “add new”. Type up your page. Then before you go to publish it, on the right hand side right below the publish buttons you'll see "attributes". You'll notice it says, by default "main page(no parent". If you have created previous pages, you can change your current page to be under another page. That way you have multiple "levels" so to speak. And what's cool about the navigation menus in most themes, is they usually have those cool "drop down menus" so if you hovered over the resources link, it'd show a drop down menu of both reports, and software. Cool stuff!
Auto-scheduling Posts
First, let's create a post real quick. To do this just click on “posts”. While we're there, let's delete the default "hello world" post. Just click “delete”, and it's gone. Now click “add new” on the left hand menu below “posts”. Write up your post. Then on the right hand side you can click publish and it should show up when you go to your site. Let's say you have 10 or 12 posts and you don't want to publish them at once. That's cool. You can schedule when a post gets published real easy. Just above the "publish" button is something that says “Publish immediately edit”, with the edit showing up as a link you can click. Click that “edit” link, and then pick the time and date you want to publish that post. Sweet!
Widgets
Back at jmflad.com you see on the right-hand menu a section called "products". And then a whole list of products. That's actually a widget called "links". These things are so easy to put on your blog. In your WordPress admin panel, just click on "appearance", then click on “widgets”. See the widget that says "links"? Just drag and drop it into your sidebar on the right side of the window. Name the widget and press “save”. Ta-da, you're done. Now, the problem with using the links widget is that it starts out with the default links that come with WordPress when you first install it. That's no good. Let's fix that. In your admin panel, click on the tab that says "links" on the left hand side. Then delete all those default links, and add in your own. There are other real quick widgets you might want to consider adding - like the “pages” widget, the “recent comments” widget, the “search” widget and one of our favorites: the "text" widget
The text widget you can use for anything. ANY html you would use on a normal site would work here. So if you have an email capture form generated by an autoresponder provider like AWeber, you can just copy that code and past it in your text widget. Again, to activate any widget, just drag and drop it into the sidebar.
Plugins
Plugins are one of the coolest things about WordPress. In the admin area, click on the tab called "plugins" on the left. A great plugin to install is called "Google Sitemap". So let's install it. Click on "add new" under the plugin menu. Then in the search field, type in "google sitemap". There you will see various plugins. Find the one that says "google xml sitemaps". Then way over on the right - click on “install”. A window will pop up giving your more information about this plugin. Click “Install Now” After it installs, it will take you to a screen where you can click "activate plugin". Do that now. Next, let's configure the plugin. To do that click on the “settings” tab on the left side of your admin panel. That's where the settings of almost all your plugins will be at. This one says "XML Sitemap". First you will have to build your sitemap - just click on the "click here" link. A sitemap is great to use by the way because it helps index ALL the pages and posts on your blog so you get more exposure to the search engines. There are settings there you can tinker with if you wish, but really that's all you have to do and your site map is taken care of for you. Nice. Here is a list of some other handy dandy plugins you can use:
