OR: lionsclub60 – 60% OFF THE ENTIRE ORDER IF THE ORDER IS ONE YEAR IN LENGTH OR LONGER. OR: lionsclub1000 – FIRST MONTH FOR $0.01 (ONE PENNY) WHEN YOU ORDER THE MOST BASIC HOSTING PLAN. In other words, use “lionsclub100” for orders under one year or “lionsclub60” for orders that are one year or longer. Use “lionsclub1000” only if you purchase the most basic hosting plan (this is the worst deal of the three). ? 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 the WordPress website 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. After you complete this first project and feel comfortable with the process of putting together a professional looking website, then you can start developing your passive income website portfolio. If you don’t know what to make your first website about, a fun first project could be building a website 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 a month 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 website http://mikeomarphotography.com 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. :) The specific things you will learn in this lesson are: How to purchase a domain and the appropriate settings.How to purchase a hosting account and the appropriate settings.How to connect the two accounts properly.How to install WordPress on the domain.

4 How to set up a mailing list sign up form and automated newsletter. 35:43 min

Every business in the world should have an email list, as well as a newsletter they send out on a regular basis. No matter what kind of online website you have (business website, personal blog, etc.), get a sign up form on there and start collecting emails immediately (even if you don’t have a clear idea of what you’re going to do with that mailing list yet). One of the most common regrets of anyone with an online presence is “not having started collecting emails sooner.” AWeber is hands-down the most powerful (and extremely affordable / easy to use) email marketing tool for managing and growing automated mailing lists. It is also the most effective tool I have when I need to communicate to my entire audience all at once about anything at all. I highly recommend starting a mailing list as soon as you start your online business, no matter what your goals are. OptinSkin is a tool that makes it extremely easy to embed very attractive email opt-in forms anywhere on a website (a good spot is at the very end of posts). It integrates easily with all the major email marketing services, including Aweber. OptimizePress is the best theme out there for creating high quality landing pages, squeeze pages (pages meant to solicit opt-in email addresses from prospective subscribers), membership websites, etc., with a top conversion rate for turning viewers into subscribers and buyers. If the main purpose of your website is to sell digital products or you're creating a membership website, use this theme. In this lesson I teach you how to set up a mailing list and autoresponder newsletter using Aweber. This includes how to do automated messages with preset time intervals, as well as one-time broadcasts. I go over how to set up an inbox sign up form and a lightbox sign up form (the one that pops up). I also go over best practices for setting your mailing list so you grow your list faster and build a loyal following. Here are a few of the advantages to having an emailing list: 1. Your mailing list will never die, no matter what might happen to your website or business. 2. The newsletter is a constant reminder of your business / services / etc. 3. It is a much more personal way of communicating with your audience. 4. It is the most effective way to communicate with your entire audience at once about time sensitive issues (announcements, special promotions, contests, etc.). Here are a few important tips you don't want to forget when setting up your emailing list: 1. Get your mailing list set up as soon as you start your website or blog and start collecting email addresses as soon as possible. 2. A great way to get people to subscribe to your newsletter is to promise them something really cool for signing up! This could be a free ebook, a special coupon, or anything else. For mine, I promise that the “thank you” page will make them laugh. 3. Tell them in the welcome email to “whitelist” your email address so that your newsletter doesn’t get blocked by spam filters. Also include in the welcome email what they should expect from your newsletter. 4. Make sure your sign up form is somewhere prominent on your website: getting each visitor to sign up for your mailing list should be a top goal. 5. Employ the same strategy you do with your social networks: every time you publish a new post, take a few extra minutes to send out a newsletter with a link to the post to your subscriber list. 6. Your newsletter is a great platform to sell and promote products. However, don’t sell or promote products in every newsletter you send, or your audience will get annoyed and unsubscribe. Do your selling and promotion sparingly. 7. Make sure sending useful and informative content is your top priority, and your audience will stay loyal and won’t ever want to unsubscribe.
