Wordpress is one of the best Internet tools I’ve used in a very long time. It’s open source, it’s free, it’s simple to master, it behaves perfectly as a blogging platform and a content management system. You can build blogs with it of course, you can create websites and you can make a combination of the two.
You can freely and easily change the look of your Wordpress install as well. To change the look and feel of Wordpress, designers and programmers are constantly developing new themes and templates. Some templates hold a fee, but there are way more that are simply free of charge. You can also add programs which are called plugins to expand the functionality and even the performance of Wordpress.
Wordpress is easy to install, even for beginners, and even when doing it the long way. These days though, doing it the long way is unnecessary. Most hosting companies, if not all, give you the ability to install Wordpress with what they call “1-click”. Honestly though, it’s more like 2 or 3 lol but it’s really that simple.
The long way would be to create a database, upload the Wordpress files to your server and install Wordpress, and supply Wordpress with the needed information to add the necessary data to the database. With the short way, the database is created for you and the info Wordpress needs to add data to it, is done automatically. The Wordpress files are also copied to your server automatically.
That’s all well in good to have this tool installed, but now to make money with it. A very popular way to get started making money with Wordpress is by becoming an eBay affiliate. A standard way to include eBay auctions into Wordpress, whether you are using it as a site or a blog or cross-breed, is by using the phpBay plugin.
There is a small fee if you want to use the phpBay plugin, but you can use it on an unlimited number of sites. Use this link to get a phpbay discount.
