If I tell you WordPress, what does it mean to you? Probably nothing if you’re not a blogger, but that’s okay. Thanks to this fabulous tool that is WordPress, you will be able to generate income on the internet and perhaps even make it your job. But how to make money with WordPress? Before giving you some ideas for taking advantage of WordPress, I will briefly introduce you to what it is. By the end of this article, you will be all set!
What is WordPress?
WordPress is a CMS (Content Management System) or content management system. You are still here?
More simply, WordPress is a tool with which you can create a blog, a forum, a store and a lot of other things. Thanks to WordPress, you will have a presence on the internet. Know that today more than a quarter of blogs and other websites are powered by this fantastic tool! Yes, 75 million blogs and sites use WP.
This tool, which is very accessible and easy to learn, even if to master the beast perfectly, you will need time, is completely free and you will therefore not need to take out your bank card to use it.
If WordPress is free, you will nevertheless have to pay to buy a domain name, hosting, a theme, plugins… I assure you: for barely $50, you will have your blog online. It’s not huge compared to what you can gain from it.
How to Train in WordPress?
Launching a blog is good and everyone dreams of it, but before all that, you have to train a minimum. As far as I am concerned, it took me months and months to understand WordPress and even today, I continue to train myself and above all to inform myself. If what I have just told you discourages you, it is a bit normal. How can you hope to earn a living without knowing what you’re talking about?
In short, to train in WordPress, you will not have to pay anything. On the net, countless resources are available for free and you just have to search a little. If you do not have the courage to look, start by looking in particular on WP Formation, WP Channel, WP Marmite or more simply on WPFR. With these references, you will learn the essential basics to master to launch your blog.
In addition, to complete your training, it is essential to watch quality videos on Youtube. Sometimes a video will help you solve the worst problems. A priori, with everything I just talked about, your blog should look like something…
When your blog is online, it will have to be known, otherwise how will Internet users manage to reach you? This is where referencing also called SEO comes in. To have people on your blog, you have to make long efforts for months before seeing results. Back to SEO. Blogs and sites were very useful to me when I started almost 10 years ago. Without these blogs, I probably wouldn’t have become a “pro” blogger.
Now let’s get to what you’re interested in, which is how to use WordPress to take advantage of it.
What you can do to generate profits from WordPress:
Create a blog:
It’s easy this one: With WordPress, you can make money by creating a blog. That’s kind of what it’s for, isn’t it? Be careful because it is not enough to put a blog online for the money to fall from the sky. To hope for regular earnings with a blog, the subject must be interesting and profitable. Of course, the earnings will be different depending on the theme.
Propose affiliation:
We stay close to the paragraph above because affiliation is generally offered on a blog. Affiliation means that you present and promote a product and invite your readers to buy it. Imagine you are blogging about banking. In this case, you have the opportunity to present the best banks to your readers. If thanks to you these banks attract new customers, you receive a commission.
Place advertising:
Here too, it is a different way to monetize your blog. Putting advertising on a medium like a blog is sometimes profitable, provided you do it well. As I have already said above, the choice of theme is highly important and your earnings may vary from 1 to 100 so you might as well choose a promising subject.
