Wordpress is a Bloggers Money Maker
March 12, 2010 by James Lehnen
One week ago I discovered a program to start using WordPress as a money making tool. Do not worry, I am not trying to sell you the program. I am just going to describe to you the steps you have to take to make Wordpress a money making machine.
After the initial set-up of getting a domain name, I prefer GoDaddy, the next step is to get a good Host for your domain. Their are many to choose from, Bluehost and HostGator are two good hosts for your domain. After you get your Host, and change your nameservers on Godaddy(if that’s who you choose), you will then need to get to the C-panel on your host. This is easily done by just typing in your domain name and then add /cpanel after your domain name. Your Cpanel will be very confusing, but unless your a real expert, you do not have to deal with most of the programs in the Cpanel. Go to Fantastico on your Cpanel, this will take you to a page that has the WordPress link. Press on the WordPress link to start the process. Follow the Simple instructions on Fantastico to get your new WordPress site started.
This alone will probably take most of the first day, but don’t worry, the more you play with WordPress , the easier it gets. After you start a WordPress Blog, Fantastico will send you information on your links to your site and your Admin Panel. Click on your admin panel(your dashboard to WordPress) and start building your site by picking a THEME. Go to the left side of your dashboard and click on themes. Pick one and upload. Then you will need to get PLUG-INS. Click on Plug-Ins and search for Plug-ins that will help you sell. I like to use Plug-ins like SEO Optimization and Bookmarking.
Now, to make money, you need to upload Plug-ins like Google Adsense, and Ebay. Just type these in the search area in Plug-ins. Adsense, Ebay, Amazon and many others will let you become an affiliate and sell their products. You collect a percentage of whatever you sell, or earn money every time somebody clicks on Adsense.
The question is… how do you get people to come to your site so you can make money? You need to use Plug-ins that allow you receive articles, and then send those articles out to social sites. I know, I know, easier said than done. Take a look at some of my sites, and you will get the general idea. I have created 10 sites in 3 days, all Adsense monetized, all Amazon affiliated, and all receiving articles on autopilot! Good Luck!
