Dead Easy WordPress Blogging

Following my post on Friday about getting fresh free blog content, which also went out on email, I received some questions. The top question was how to start a WordPress blog.

If you don’t yet have any WordPress blogs, the launch of these new blog content syndication sites is a great opportunity to start blogging without the pain!

I’ve been reviewing some WordPress videos recently and the best I have found are included in Andrew Wilson’s Internet Marketing Training Videos site here:

Internet Marketing Training Videos

You will need to be a paid member to get the newest videos that relate to the current version of WordPress with its new design and navigation. It’s a monthly site but it’s a very reasonable price and if you only want to learn about blogging, you can download all the videos right away.

Here’s how to find them:

Once you’re in, click on Training Videos and choose Blogging. Click on the first download link, for the package marked 01. This will take you to the download page for that package. Download them all, unzip and click on the html page file that is inside each directory to watch the videos.

But … I recommend you go ahead and do each task while you are watching the videos - i.e. pause the video often, and go off and do what it tells you to do to create your first blog. Take action, don’t just sit and watch. That way, within minutes you can see results - your WordPress blog will be live on the internet.

Of course there are a huge number of instructional videos on other IM topics in this site too and if you take a look around you’ll see there is a lot that’s worth staying for. These include:

- how to set up an online store with Zen Cart
- video marketing: 12 different ways to make money with videos
- how to set up an opt-in form on your site with AWeber
- how to set up a custom 404 error page on your site
- bonus: complete package of internet marketing videos

Plus each month you get a new package to download. For September you will find a very cool set of Traffic videos that you can both learn from and resell (you get Master Resale Rights to those too).

In fact, if Andrew’s site has a fault, it’s that there is too much information!

Andrew has asked me to help reorganize it to make it easier for new members to navigate. I’m going to recommend they concentrate on the WordPress videos first as they are great and it’s a very good way to get a classy-looking site up and running.

Fresh Free Blog Content

Article MarketingA couple of months ago I wrote a blog post explaining a way that you could get unique free content posted automatically to your blog, so that your blog stays constantly updated with fresh content without you having to sit there and write it.

I know many people joined the site that I mentioned and are doing very well with it, but others found that site a little confusing.

Well, good news … the guys at Portal Feeder and the guys at PLR Pro have now developed similar systems where you can add your WordPress blogs and have syndicated ’spun’ content posted automatically to them for free, and they’ve just opened them up to the public.

If you’re already using the other site, you can join both to add even more fresh content onto your blog.

If you’re not, I think you will find these new sites easier to figure out:

Syndicate Kahuna

Article Marketing Automation

That second link takes you straight to the registration page to sign up for a free account. You can click on the FAQ if you want to see more about it.

These sites have just launched … and don’t forget it’s free to add your blog to the syndicate.

How Not To Do Copy Cat Marketing

Let me ask you a question: which would you rather do?

(a) Go to a sun-drenched beach in La Jolla with Frank Kern

(b) Go to a McDonalds in some grey-skied city with Mike Filsaime

I think we know the answer, don’t we? Unless you have a serious burger habit or have something personal against Frank Kern.

Back in the spring you may remember there was a little launch for a product called Mass Control where Frank Kern gave away some very good information in a series of videos - one of which involved watching him get in his car and go to the beach - in return for your email.

If you signed up for those emails you may remember the subject line always started “it’s frank…” And then a couple of weeks later Mike Filsaime’s emails started arriving with subject line “it’s mike…”

So right now there’s a little launch on for a product called Traffic Fusion (in case you hadn’t noticed) and on the main page there’s a video where you watch - guess what - Mike Filsaime getting into his car and going to McDonalds. And then you’re supposed to give him your email to get access to 2 more videos.

But … McDonalds?

People, if you are tempted to copy someone else’s marketing tactics, please don’t make this mistake. Don’t do a WORSE copy ;-)

The really sad thing about this is that Mike Filsaime’s NEXT TWO VIDEOS ARE GREAT … but you’d never know.

The first time I visited, I burst out laughing and closed the page about 30 seconds into the first video. So I would never have watched the others at all if it weren’t for John Cow who wrote this morning saying not to even bother looking at the first video, just enter your details and click through. I’m passing that advice to you.

The second two videos really are a must-see for anyone who is selling their own product online, or plans to develop a product. You’ll see MF setting out a lot of different ways of using a kind of ’stealth marketing’ which gets JV partners promoting your product - but NOT by sending out email to their lists. This way makes it a lot easier for them.

The videos are free and MF has released them to promote a product called Traffic Fusion which you’ll have to make up your own mind about. I won’t be buying it myself. But I did take a lot of notes from those two videos.

Oh, and I’m not saying this because I’m an affiliate. In fact I’m NOT an affiliate, I’m going to give you the naked link here:

www.trafficfusion.com

Just don’t bother watching that first video. Wait for the link to view the next two. Unless you really have nothing better to do today than watch somebody driving to McDonalds …
