Come and attend this Meetup on a regular basis and we will help you get your WordPress Site up and running so that you can go LIVE! in 120 days. Currently, we are looking for a Meetup Location in Woodbury, MN.
First, we will show you how to purchase a Domain Name and set up your Hosting.
Then we will show you how to easily install a new WordPress blog on your new Hosting Account using a special Internet Service that does all the heavy lifting for us. This will ensure that your blog will be much more secure than the default Fantastico Blog install.
Then we will show you how to make your boring default blog look much better by using a special paid template. Unlike most paid templates, this template is actually easy to use and has many many useful features.
We will show you how to install many plugins that will help improve the look and feel of your WordPress blog.
We will also help you install a number of plugins that will help you with your SEO so that Google can find your site easier.
After that, we will make sure that your site is more safe and secure than 98% of the blogs out there. After we lock down your site, and make it more difficult to break into, then the bad guys will move on to easier sites.
Google has an ongoing love affair with most any WordPress Blog. We are going to improve that natural relationship even more by adding Video and Audio to your site.
We are also going to open an account with Apple iTunes store so that people can learn more about you through your video and audio podcasts.
Then we are going to connect your site to Twitter, FaceBook, and LinkedIn. You are also going to have your own Channel on YouTube. (Besides Google, people must be able to find you on YouTube in order for you to be as successful as you can be.) Your techy clients will be able to subscribe to your Video, Audio and Article RSS Feeds.
We will also help you monetize your blog by adding little Advertising Areas on your site. We will also make it easy for your visitors to find out more about you by offering a place for them to sign up for your "special report" or your "monthly newsletter." Internet Experts say that you can get $1 per month for every person who subscribes to your monthly newsletter.
There will be a spot on your home page where people can read written testimonials about you. And of course, we can include testimonials in your videos and your audios.
We will include a map on the site so that your clients can easily find you. This map will also make it easier for Google to find you. That is very important in this day and age.
You can include a set of photos so that people can see what your office looks like. If you were a plumber, you could also show people your procedures. An artist could show photos of their artwork. You get the picture.
