Wordpress Tutorial Video

Just like Blogger.com (aka Blogspot Blog), Wordpress also offers a free blogging account. I started my blogging career using Blogger account and then decided to go for Wordpress because there is some many things you can do with it. If you have not use Wordpress before, it can be very scary. I did a search on Youtube and found a very good Wordpress Tutorial video for beginner. Check out the video below:

I learn Wordpress mainly from trial and error. I am a perfectionist, hence I like my blog to be clean and tidy. Sometimes that can really slow me down trying to make everything look nice on my blog.

I decided to learn Wordpress back in September 2008. I still remember, I bought Wordpress Adsense System e-book from a top Malaysian blogger, Gobala Krishnan and locked myself in my room for 2 days to learn the blogging platform. The whole process was post, test, edit and post again. Because Wordpress uses php coding, changing the template was a bit tricky. Luckily I have some knowledge on html language, after a while, the php codes start to make sense and I was able to do more editing on the template. This blog template that you are reading now is courtesy of Gobala’s e-book package.

Check out Gobala Krishnan Wordpress Adsense System e-book if you are really serious about learning and mastering Wordpress.

How To Start Blogging and Make Money Online

A lot of people I have met are really intrigued by the idea of making money from the internet. However, most do not know where or how to get started. My recommendation to them is always start with the route of affiliate marketing. Some proactive ones do get started with their online affiliate business. However, their results were pretty dismay. It is not that the idea of affiliate marketing does not work, it is a matter of lack of information, knowledge and skill.

Most internet newbies quit their affiliate business due to one make reason…they can’t generate enough traffic to their affiliate web page to generate sales. I had the same problem in the beginning. For the time being, my main traffic sources are from Article Marketing and my Blogs. This posting will focus on how to start blogging and make money online.

A blog in its simple term is a “Push button web page creator and Content Management Solution”. You do not need to know any html codes to publish your web site. All you have to do is write your content, attached a picture and push the publish button.

There are two school of thoughts on which blogging platform is the best. I’ve started off blogging using a Blogger.com account (Blogspot.com) but after a while I wanted something more. I also discovered that most successful internet marketing uses Wordpress as their blogging platform. That is where I started learning Wordpress. The Wordpress platform is great but it needs some fine tuning. I know a very successful internet marketing guru that told me “Google likes Wordpress…but Google is in love with well optimized Wordpress”. Well, if you are asking how to start blogging and make money online, your first step is to learn Wordpress.
