Isn’t it time you stopped hating your website?
Wouldn’t it be great to update your site on YOUR time without relying on your web person?
Wouldn’t it be freeing to know how to add promotions to your website without obtaining a computer science degree?
Is your website not “you” anymore? Is it time to renovate?
Do you want a website but don’t want to skip a few mortgage payments to finance it?
Do you want to interact with your visitors and build a relationship with them?
Do you want an interactive website?
How about a website attracts visitors to come back for more over and over again?
How about just a website that WORKS?!?!!?!?
I know what you are going through. I used to have a static website that was built with html. I knew how to update it myself and would make changes every now and then. Soon enough I gave up! It was too much work. First you have to find the right file on your computer, make the change, preview your changes, save it, upload it to your website and check that your changes took affect and it’s the way you want it to look. blah! I soon got bored of this and annoyed…don’t you?
When you stop updating your site you tend to promote it less because it doesn’t feel like “you” anymore. You are embarrassed of your site and you don’t want anyone to know that it’s yours! So what happens is the website that is supposed to work for your business is growing virtual cob webs and e-dust. It’s lost in cyberspace left to roll over and die. It’s not working for you anymore is it?
A website just doesn’t cut it anymore. Google and all the other search engines give preference to sites that are:
- updated often
- follow their formatting and structure rules
- have relevant content
- visited by others often
With a blog (web + log) you can take care of the above requirements. Search engines, like Google, give priorities to blogs over traditional websites. Why? Because each time you blog that is considered an update to your site. And when Google sees that your site doesn’t have virtual cob webs and e-dust on it, then it becomes very interested in your content.
Here’s an example for you: When an update is made to a traditional website it takes Google and the others upto 6-8 weeks to recognize and find that content and put it in it’s directory of sites (this is what you access when you perform a search on the web). When a blog post or any other change is made on a blog Google will find and place it into it’s directory within an hour! So would a traditional website or a blog work best to promote your workshop that takes place in 2-3 weeks?
So blogs are pretty cool but let’s take it a step further to be super amazing cool shall we? Great!
A blog is amazing but what if you could have the features of a blog (posts, update on your own when you want and easily?) and the features of a website (static pages such as ‘our services’, ‘our products’, ‘contact us’)? Well you can with a blogsite!
With a blogsite you can . . .
- create static pages such as “our services”, “our products”, “contact us” etc.
- maintain your own website
- blog by posting articles, tips, promotions, etc
- interact with web visitors and start building a relationship with them
- promote your newsletter, services, affiliate programs
- get Google to fall in love with you and your site as it’s built for search engine optimization
- take advantage of web 2.0 functionality
- add media to your site easily
Now there are a few blog services out there to choose from. I’ve tried a number of them out but only one makes my eyes have eyegasms, makes my heart pound and makes me drool as a business owner! This blogging service is not only free (yes I said free), but it is created by a community of experts who believe that everyone should have access to free blogging services. Now doesn’t that feel good to know that someone wants you to succeed on the web and they aren’t going to charge you a million dollars for it?
I’m Sandra De Freitas, a technology coach, internet addict and WordPress obsessor. I was introduced to WordPress years ago but didn’t want to bother learning it because I already had a blog. But I wish someone would have told me how fabulous and flexible it was back then because I missed out for years. Once I gave WordPress a chance I soon became obsessed with learning as much as I could about it. This included researching the 1000’s of free WordPress plugins (think of them as enhancements or accessories for your blog) that are available. I currently have 130 plugins saved on my computer as I use them often on my own WordPress sites or on my clients sites.
| “Thank you Sandra for an excellent course on WordPress. I’ve now finished the site we put together on the day of the course and I’m so pleased with it. Not only that but you gave me the confidence to go ahead and change my old website over to a WordPress blogsite and I’ve done just that. So, since doing the course, I’ve managed to build two of my own blogsites all by myself and I have no fears about building the next one - you’ve made me unstoppable!! Thank you for making this so easy… - Sarah Rourke, www.audiopodartist.com |
When I speak about WordPress at an event my eyes light up as I get to speak about my passion. There is so much I can offer to the participants in terms of content but most speaking events do not last for weeks! 
The participants of these speaking events enjoy these sessions as I always have them laughing, I do not use technical jargon and because they now see the benefits that WordPress offers to business owners.

A note from the author:
Dear Reader,
One of the main reasons I wrote this book was because I was getting tired and heartbroken of hearing Coaches, Consultants, Speakers and other entrepreneurs spend thousands of dollars (up to $8,000 usd) on a website that looks pretty but doesn’t work. If I could stop 1 entrepreneur from spending thousands of dollars on a website that sucks then my mission has been accomplished.
Please help spread the word. Tell your friends about this book!
