WordPress Basics to Business: Share and Sell your Expertise

This course is for anyone who wants to learn WordPress basics, but especially for teachers, coaches and other professionals who want to share their knowledge/experience/expertise, take appointment bookings and/or sell their own downloadable digital products (ebooks, graphics, music, etc.) 

There are 6 main sections:

1. Setup and configuration
2. How to use WordPress 2016-2017 (mini crash course)
3. How to give your site a unique look and feel
4. How to take and sell appointment bookings (online lessons, consultations, professional appointments, etc.)
5. How to set up an ebook or other digital download store on your site
6. How to increase traffic and engagement

I will take you from zero to hero in less than four hours.

Let me me just deal with a couple of common objections.

COMMON OBJECTION 1: "I’m not good at technical stuff."

Well, some years ago I was in the same situation. In fact, I don’t come from a technical background. I learnt what I needed to know on my own and I worked with professional developers. So I’m confident that after you’ve completed this course, you’ll be able to build your own unique, professional-looking website.   

COMMON OBJECTION 2: "I have a very limited budget. It must cost a lot of money to build a professional-looking website, right?"

Setting up a powerful website with the tools I’m going to show you requires very minimal upfront costs. In fact this how much you’ll need as a minimum:

• around $100/year for hosting
• around $15/year domain name registration ($18 /2 years)

And if you're going to have an appointment booking and payment service integrated with your site, you'll need an extra $10/month (although there's a 14-day free trial).

And that is it. I may mention a few modestly-priced addons or services that will make your site even better, but that’s the absolute minimum. 

If your budget is below this, then you won't be able to use all the tools I mention in the business sections of the site. But you will find lots of useful WordPress and marketing tools and tips in the other sections. Also, to use the e-commerce tools, you'll need to sign up for a Paypal business account, which I guide you through in section 4. So make sure that Paypal supports your country.

If you meet the above requirements and if you’re ready to learn new tools and skills to diversify your income, then you’ll get the most benefit from this course.
