I get asked all the time why people should use WordPress as a site building and content management tool.

Well, my first response is that it is so easy to use with only a short learning curve to get the basics nailed down and with so many themes and templates around you can make a beautiful looking site.

Then to add to that the fact, their are various Plugins (Additional Tools) you can add to make your blog/website perform and manage different tasks.

I have written a report called Easy Websites with WordPress that shows step by step how to get your first site up and running in no time with all the technical details laid out in easy to follow screenshots so its like me taking you by the hand.

The report has been downloaded hundreds of times and i always get great feedback on how it helps people. just click the link above to grab it for FREE

Hi Guys,

And back with a challenge update and just been watching Module 2 and Day 3 of The Challenge and my goodness if you cannot write for toffee then you must watch the video below.

I think I am a decent writer but my problem is the speed of my writing and it takes me quite a while to write a 300 – 400 word article……well no more.

When i watched this training on speed writing i could not believe it. Ed Dales shows how you can write an article in 10 minutes flat and i can tell you it works. I tried this technique and I was able to write a 450 word article (with mistakes) in 10 minutes.

Now think about that for a moment. If you can write one article in 10 minutes then you can write 6 articles in one hour.

Now lets say you religiously did this for your business over the course of one year….yes every single day you tok JUST one hour of time out of each day to write.

That is 365 days x 6 articles = 2190 articles you can post on your blog or upload to article directories.

Now imagine if you were posting those articles to the top 5 article directories

2190 articles x 5 article directories = 10950 backlinks to your site……..isn’t that staggering that to think one hour of work per day could produce that much power.

Hey and that is only YOU. Imagine if you outsourced this…………….blimey I’m on a role now.

Lets say you paid an outsourcer to do this at $3 per hour, that is $1095 for one years work to get 10,950 backlinks.

So 1095/10950 = $0.10 per article………AWESOME

N.B. Ok i am not taking into account checking and editing but you get the picture.

Anyway check out this awesome video below and start getting your articles fired off like a gunslinger.

Cheers

Hi Guys,

And just wanted to give you an update on my experince so far with The Challenge this year and also to talk about the latest info from WP Direct.

Well my niche finding mission last week went right off the rails……yeah i went back and forth into Market Samurai drilling down….and up and sidewards. Actually I went in every bloody direction but to no avail.

I found 3 or 4 niches that look good and have a few good seed keywords but not enough micro niche keywords and boy have i been testing out some weird and wonderful ideas.

Anyhow, my aim is to watch this weeks content whilst at the same time revisiting my Market Samurai projects to find an angle on on eof those niches.

I must say that what Marty Rozmanith and the WP Direct Guys are doing in terms of their trial access this year is tremendous as you can set up 10 sites and try out more niches, this will give you not only practice but more chances of getting an SEO optimised blog but also a wider selection of test markets.

All the best

Richard

Hi Guys,

It’s everbody’s dream to Work from Home and many of the other readers of my blog are just like you. Yes they are searching for a way to make money from home and yet like so many have probably failed.

Yes i know it is not what you wanted to hear but it is the hard cold truth.

If you have been following my blog for some time then you know that i do my very best to give you great content and free internet marketing training when possible and………today is no exception.

I was always told that forums are great for getting backlinks but most forums are just a place to go where people moan and bitch and add whine about something or another so it is not in my nature to use them, howwever a few months ago i found a Work From Home forum which allegedly said they provide lots of free training and also have members who are willing to help even the greenest marketer to make a go of living the dream of working in their own home based business.

Well a few months later and i am still there and have now been happily posting up my blog content and helping others as well as getting some great help myself.

So if you want to really get some useful help where your questions will get answered (NO MATTER HOW BASIC) then i would really take a look at the Work From Home forum that I suggest is the best on the internet.

Cheers

Richard

Moan…Moan…Moan that’s all i hear these people do and do you know what????

I LOVE IT

I have just realised after going through Day 2 of the Challenge and finding a couple of Niches on Amazon that you must look for MOANERS…..

If you can find a magazine and find really bad reviews then this is gold. I just found one magazine where the person who bought it said some good things but also uttered the words…….

“Oh but i wish there was more of this”

What more can you ask for. Now this is a highly competitive Niche but if people are crying out for certain solutions then there must be a demand and to make it even better i know an expert in this particular area.

I have not even looked at Google.

So next time you hear someone moan about something dont frown but think and turn it into what the person is really saying and that is HELP…

Cheers

Richard

Hi Guys,

I was on my favourite marketing forum and one of the members asked the question.

“What is the difference between a Blog an Article and a Press Release”
