UPDATE: Due to newer versions of WordPress being made since I created this website and the accompanying video lessons, I’ve made a new website with updated video lessons. That website (and the updated video lessons) can be found at Mike Omar Photography. But that’s no reason to delete my original baby, so I’ve left this website intact anyway…enjoy! 😀
I used to use this website to advertise my freelancing services for making websites for clients at $500 each. Now that I’ve developed a full time passive income, I’ve converted this website to a sample website that every budding entrepreneur should make for themselves as a side business and an excellent source of side income!
If you are serious about making money online, the first thing you need to learn is how to make a website – if you don’t learn to do this, you’ll never be able to make any significant amount of money online, ever.
Today I’m going to show you how to make a website (or blog) on its own domain, without coding, using WordPress (it’s a surprisingly simple process). These are professional websites with any look that you want (and can incorporate anything that you want, including social media buttons, “buy now” buttons, mailing list forms, Google maps, etc.).
Note: When I say we will be creating a website using WordPress, I don’t mean creating one through the WordPress website. Websites created through there are severely limited in what you can do with them and offer very little flexibility overall. The method I teach enables you to create truly professional websites by installing the WordPress software and you won’t be limited in any way.
Not only is WordPress very easy to use, it is 100% free and makes your website completely customizable. Over 15% of websites online have been created with WordPress; if you can use Microsoft Word, you can make a website using WordPress (this website was made using WordPress…and I don’t even know any code!).
Set aside one hour and make your first website TODAY!
The point of today’s exercise is simply for you to get your feet wet and to get a website online that you can play and experiment with. Don’t worry too much about what this first website is going to be about; just get something online (unless you already know what you want your website to be about, in which case, just do that). After you complete this first project and feel comfortable with the process of putting together a professional looking website, then you can start developing any other kinds of websites you choose.
If you don’t know what to make your first website about, a fun first project could be building a website just like this one for your new side business: freelancing websites for others. After all, once you’re done with the first four lessons, you’ll be qualified to build fairly basic, but professional looking websites. Then you can start charging people $500 per website to make yourself some extra money! When I first learned how to make a website with WordPress, I used to post my services on Craigslist daily, and I would get at least two to three gigs per month. You can simply make your website YourName.com or YourNameWebsiteCreationServices.com. If you decide to go this route, here is some freelancing advice
to help you get started. 😀
You can also make yourself a blog about your favorite hobby or one that follows your experiences with building an online business – personal blogs that develop a regular readership make A LOT of money.
Remember: Everyday you don’t start, money is being left on the table.
You want to make sure you take action as you go through my video lessons or you will find yourself months down the road without having accomplished anything! If you do have any trouble with building your first website today, simply send me an email through my contact page and I’ll be happy to help out.
What will be the total cost of your website? About $15 / year for the domain and $10 / month for hosting (the hosting can be used for as many domains as you want, so the price never goes up).
You can watch the entire process of me creating a basic blog on its own domain on the video on this page all in less than 15 minutes.
This is the first of four video lessons where I will show you the entire completion of the this website ALL IN UNDER ONE HOUR TOTAL! Follow along in the video lessons and you’ll see just how easy it is to build a website. 😀
