WordPress VS Website

The setting up process can be harder than you might imagine, even with drag & Drop sites which don’t always work the way you want them to

WordPress has become the number one to use for many people, as they offer a wide choice of templates if you use them for your hosting 

As I did with this site, but if you think you will be able to use any and all plugins (like I did you will be disappointed!

WordPress provides the basic plugins for Free, but in order to use plugins I would need to upgrade to a business level

This involves expenses on top of the hosting cost, which includes a domain-based email address

Even Google suggested a domain name email address and promoted it to me as the more professional choice

But I settled for a free Gmail email address since my site is based on Free information

WordPress is far easier to use than having to learn how to use c-panel and FTP (File Transfer Protocol) which you need to use with c-panel sites

Another drawback to running your own hosted website, you are both the owner but you also become the boss in charge of finance including paying for advertising

 As to content, this is also your responsibility, some site owners prefer to add videos while I prefer written content which can be a challenge at times

Backup copies of all the contents are also a duty of the site owner, either with an automatic plugin or manual

I am considering inviting guest writers to add their content to my site, if anyone would be interested let me know in the comments

The content must be available for Free, in keeping with my site

Preferably original articles which will need to be examined by myself before being published

Affiliate Marketing

Affiliated Link Booster

BOOST

Probably the number one choice of newbies for making money online

Mainly because you don’t need any products or services yourself, you also don’t need a website

Although owning a website has its advantages even if you are affiliate marketing

Clickbank is also the number one choice for those just beginning, due to the massive amounts of vendors (those who own products or service)

Another reason is all you need to start with Clickbank, its simple and free to join

You just create a user ID, a short nickname and your email address, and that’s all that’s needed, now you can go onto the “Marketplace”

Where you can search for products or services to promote, once you have found something you like you click on “promote” add your ID and copy the hyperlink

Next promote your link to as many places you can, sounds simple enough!

But in actual practice there is more included, which I will explain

Using the above method is the commonest mistake all new affiliate marketers make

Because using the direct link which looks ugly and long, will get little or no responses from potential buyers, and if you are to succeed you need Buyers to promote too

Many people use URL shortening sites to hide their links

This is where having a website can provide a bridge (stopping point) before taking the potential buyer to the actual sales page

The advantages of owning and running a hosted website

You can add your own adverts including affiliated banners and reviews of whatever you are promoting, although you should not sound like you are selling the product or service

Another way around this would be to have a Recommendation page, to list your favourite offers (normally the highest paying ones)

But here again Don’t overload the page with purely affiliated linked items, add some useful or Free sites

When you come across such sites add them into Notepad and save them in a file to use later to add as useful informatiion

The disadvantages of owning and running a website

Working from home jobs ideas

Freelancing which is where you work for other people as an independent payable person, with the freedom to choose what kind of work you do

Freelance Ideas

Most of these ideas can do done through freelancing sites or your own site if you have one or it maybe even eBay

Design work, which can cover banner or adverts creation

Writing service, for those who lack the time or skill to compose original content for blogs or website and even eBooks

Music composition creating original music tracks for website owners, or even a complete song to sell to budding singers or groups

Local based work at home ideas

These ideas involve traveling from your home to your customers home, and back afterwards, a small van would be needed with a sign on the side with your service you offer and phone number

This will act as an advert wherever you travel, printed business card will add a professional touch

Gardening service where you offer to tidy up other people’s gardens, mowing grass, trimming bushes, or planting out shrubs / bushes / trees / bulbs

Painting and decorating, you will need to suitable equipment, paint brushes / overalls / paint rollers /paste board, depending on the fulness of the service you offer

You will also need a professional style van to carry the required tools for whatever work has been ordered, the van should also have professional sign on both sides, as mobile advertisement

Dog walking service, only If you are keen on walking and like dogs, no special tools required, you could use your normal car for traveling, although using a professional sytle van will give a business impression

Business card will still be useful for advertising., leave a few with satisfied customers, ask them to pass them onto any friends with dogs

Working from home what’s involved

The first important point to note, is you will become self-employed and your own boss

Which may sound awesome as you can set your own working hours, but this may then involve working more than the average 9 – 5 hours

You also have to pay yourself, but possibly well after paying all expenses, which means your wages might have to set your own wages at a lower rate than when you were working 9 – 5 a job

Working hours will need to be set, along with frequent breaks need to be included

Depending what kind of work you decide to do from home, you may need to make. such as designating one room in your house purley for work

Especially if the work you decide on requires office space, also needing office equipment such as a desk and a comfortable chair, when many hours of sitting is required

You may also need a PC or laptop and printer, if only for order details – invoices and bill printing,  and since you will need to do frequent research you will need reliable internet connection

Assorted software to enable you to run your business efficiently, plus printing paper – notbook or notepads  or sticky notes – biro-ballpoint pens for jotting phone numbers or ideas or even website login information as backup in case of virus infection to you PC or Laptop

You may decide on having a dedicated landline phone just for business working hours only, but a mobile or smartphone could be use instead, since the numbers tend to be long and impressive, so they lend themselves to a business appearance

The plus to using either mobile or Smartphone is they can be taken with you when you travel away from home, saving the need for answering service

But should never when you are driving a car

One advantage of using a Smartphone is you also run your business using them, including researching and adding content

Ideas for what work you could do at home Coming Soon

Why do I Write?

The answer to the question is easy, I enjoy writing, there is another question which is What do I write?

I write assort things years ago I entered a writing contest, in which I had to write about 2,000 words, which was a little daunting

But since the subject was based on an already well-known story, Wind in the Willows, I found that once I decided on my title the story almost wrote itself, in fact, I went over the limit

After finishing the story I entered it into the competition, sadly I didn’t win, but I was bitten by the writing bug

I went on writing press releases in IBOtoolbox, until sadly a little while back I was unable to gain access to my IBO membership, even sadder support on IBO is no longer active, I, therefore, can’t participate there as a writer

Since I can no longer contribute I focus my written content on this blog, although I still comment on YouTube videos

As to the present day, I now will be writing information posts for my revamped blog, which is now a paid hosted website

Introduction

Introduction to myself, I’m retired from work married man of 39 years

Sadly I can no longer be a writer on IBOtoolbox, due to the admin and support lady who left to do another thing on another platform, with the result I could not log in

I enjoy listening to assorted music, the 50s-60s ’70s ’80s and classical, love Johann Strauss II waltzes – some well know Opera, even though I don’t understand the words

  • Why am I blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
  • Answer: I wanted to share my acquired knowledge with others
  • What topics will I be writing about?
