I’ve been ‘on-line’ now for three years and I have built many websites for myself and others but it wasn’t until fairly recently I discovered how to make a blog using WordPress.

During those three years, I have learnt a big amount and along the path made numerous mistakes and making some earnings on the way ( which is always nice ).

Now, there are two major ideas you may either learn yourself or have enough money to use others to do for you :

1. Copywriting abilities

2. Getting traffic to your website

Over time I have acquired several products to improve my copywriting skills in fact I’ve been mentored by two ‘world famous’ net gurus ( who I shan’t name here for confidentiality reasons ).

And yes, my copywriting abilities improved but not to the level I wanted.

So, I thought who do the web experts go to for their copywriting and one name kept coming up John Carlton.

You heard of John Carlton, the internet and Copywriting supremo?

I am expecting you have, as John is the one, many of the big Internet Guru’s ( like Frank Kern, John Reese, Jeff Johnson, Yanik Silver, Lorrie Morgan-Ferrero, Rich Schefren, Terry Dean, Dan Kennedy, Gary Bencivenga, Dr. Harlan Kilstein ) turn to for copywriting advice.

Well, a little while back I made up my mind to splash out and join John’s simple Writing System course. It cost me $2000 and it was the best money I’ve ever spent on an online marketing type course.

It was perfect for me a modular approach. Do A, get some feedback from John ( and other pros ), then do B ( get more feedback ), then do C then pull it altogether.

The advice and feedback was priceless.

One thing I noticed about the course a number of the ’students’ on the course used WordPress for their internet sites.

So, that shaped up my copywriting skills.

One idea covered, now what about getting bundles and bundles of traffic to my sites.

What would be perfect for me would be another modular approach course I asked John C for some advice / advice. He claimed Jeff Johnson would be good for me.

So, I am going over to Jeff Johnson’s site and see he’s giving away some free SEO software to increase the traffic to your site ( if it’s’s based on WordPress ).

WordPress again!

There must be something to this WordPress lark.

I perform a little research and see that WordPress is firstly free and second simple to install.

I register and host a ‘throwaway’ domain. Install WordPress. Play with WordPress. This is easy. This is simple. This is efficient. WordPress has an amazing list of features.

I install Jeff Johnson’s Free SEO software it makes things even easier!

I’ve been missing out.

I decide to join Jeff Johnson’s Underground coaching Lab.

Again it’s a module approach and you get Jeff Johnson’s customized pro version of his SEO software which is the much much stronger giant bro version.

So I am now hooked on WordPressit’s easy, it’s simple, it is free and it has a fantastic list of in-built features including :

SEO Friendly

This is crucial when building an internet site or blog. WordPress has a number of functions, which permit it to be search engine friendly ( and even more so with Jeff Johnson’s FREE SEO software )

The Support

Millions of people use WordPress and there’s a big user community who develop and support the software. So any issues, do afast search and you’ll find the answer.

Little Coding

If you would like a basic SEO friendly website ( and WordPress will give you one ) you do not want to code ever again. Adding and changing your internet site is easy with WordPress.

Add-On’s ( otherwise known as plug-ins )

There are thousands of add-ons you can use ‘on top of’ the free WordPress software to make your site unique.
