How To Setup Your Niche Website Using Wordpress
?
A few days back I revealed to you that my niche selection process was originally floored and I had to review the niche I had chosen. Finally I am up and running with the new niche chosen and also beginning to have content produced. In todays tutorial Im going to show you the process on how to setup your niche website using WordPress and I show you step by step what I did. Ive even included the checklist my team uses below so you can also use it as well.
As this is all outsourced, its all done simultaneously but if youre looking to do it yourself, then obviously youll need to spend a bit of time setting up the website then the articles after that.
Let me share with you my checklist...
All right, as you can see right here, heres a simple checklist and steps setting up a WordPress site. This is the first thing that we need to do. Its before you do set it up, you need to obviously get your domain name, and weve talked about that as well previously because after youve done your research, youre going to purchase your domain name. Then after that, get some web space, hosting and its very, very cheap to host to your website on those shared service and then get straight into setting up the WordPress.
First Two Steps: Purchase Domain and Get Hosting -- Cheaply
So the first thing as Ive mentioned here to tell them to do is purchase domain name and also from Namecheap and then setup the domain on hosting on number 2. Okay so those are the two important things.
This is Namecheap.com, an excellent place to get domains quite cheaply, thats the reason why its called Namecheap. Ive been using this to host all my domains that I have and I think from memory, every domain cost me about around about $10.15, $10.16 US per domain so if you are looking to purchase domain cheaply, this goes for the whole year.
And, if youre doing what Pats done, you can actually purchase through Bluehost and get one domain for free. Thats only if you dont have hosting with Bluehost already. Because Ive already got a hosting with Hostmonster which is also a subsidiary of Bluehost, I cant keep in free domain names obviously. So what Ive done is I keep buying domain names through Namecheap.com, and through Namecheap, I just link them straight over to Hostmonster.
Once youve got domain name, you get to set up the hosting to host all your files in your server and I recommend using Hostmonster. Hostmonster is only $5.95 per month and theyve always got special promos. You can sometimes get it down to probably as low as $4.95 per month but you know, $6 per month is absolutely nothing. If you cant afford to that, then obviously theres something that youll need to consider because its only going to be less than 100bucks a year to be able to host your website and also have a domain name which your website should be earning more than that. It should cover the cost.
Next Step: Install Wordpress
The next step is to install WordPress, downloaded from WordPress.org and also install then upload Robots.txt file. All right so lets just jump straight in. Once youve setup the account with Hostmonster, just simply get a FTP server program which I use which is called Filezilla and also all my staff uses as well. Thats for Mac and I know that its also available for PC as well. Once youve got that setup, then what you want to do is to upload your files into obviously your server.
Youll see hes loaded up a plugin called PopupDomination and its an excellent plugin that Ive been using. It does cost some money to get but once youve got it, its really, really powerful because it pops up in front of people with different types of styles and gets them to opt-in. And the goal for my website that I want to setup here is to be able to get as many people opt-in to the database so I can build relationship with them and then potentially down the track, start selling things to them as well.
Let Me Show You My First Niche Website
Now, this is just a customized theme from Woothemes that Ive been using. Now you can purchase that as well from Woothemes and its a very, very lovely theme. What weve just done is just taken everything out such as the headers and stuff and then replaced it with the correct headers to match our 3daydetox niche market. And, you can just see here how simple it is. Theres nothing more than just a few articles Ive already posted on the left here and then the 3daydetox plan subscribe.
What Ive been trying to do is just encourage people to subscribe to the newsletter or to subscribe to download something just as a gift. That way, I can get them onto the database. Thats really what my goal is, its not to start selling anything on this website right now. All I want to do is get them to hop onto database and build relationship with them and thats just a strategic way to go about it because I want these customers for long term and Im not looking to make quick selling right now.
Now you might be wondering, Why are you putting advertising here on the right? Well, just in case people dont want to subscribe, they might also click on these and just go to affiliate links here if they want to do that. And its just quite common to post advertisements on the right hand side. Most people usually see it and might click on it and you might get a very, very small percentage but its just better to have it there.
A lot of these articles that you see here are all specifically targeted towards the 3 day detox and my virtual assistant has been working quite hard putting these together and weve got probably about 15 articles already scheduled ready to go out but weve only posted a few so that we can get this blog showing with some articles. So once you set that all up, its as simple as putting articles in there and if you just scroll right down here, its pretty simple. Theres not much more to it.
Why Do I Keep It This Simple?
Ive kept it as simplistic as possible. The reason behind that is that you dont want to distract your readers attention or your potential client from seeing whats there. Im just going to pop into the backend and also open up my task list right now for you. But the next thing is just important which is completing the WordPress site.
Let's Get It Setup!
Theres a few main things that they need to do or you need to do to be able to have your website up and running for WordPress. Now these are just these extra plugins that I have. You dont have to use all of them, you can choose or pick which ones you think are suitable and Ive obviously listed the ones that I think are most important. And, as I said not all of these are important so these are all the things that I installed and I setup as well. I want to jump back to WordPress right now.
Ive just got a few plugins actually, dont have too many. I think the most important ones in my opinion are probably the Google Analytics to be able to track whats going on and how much traffic getting through and Google XML sitemaps which basically is just submission to Google and you want to have that installed. Those are probably one of the most important plugins I think for the website. If you dont have any of the plugins installed, these are probably the only ones I recommend, highly, highly recommend.
Generate Minimum of 7 Articles To Go Into Your Website Content
What Ive got done is Ive had just 7 posts currently, all put inside and weve scheduled it to actually have it posted out one a day just temporarily just to get these posts into the blog that way we get some comments then. The reason why weve done that is because its not very wise to actually have maybe one or two posts because say youre getting traffic to the website, people want to start reading articles.
So at least a minimum of seven articles on your website spread over each day not one day and you post seven articles but one a day. That way, you can just get some content out there and furthermore, Google sees that and will probably index that as well.
And, what weve done very successfully is that theres an article that we have written up about 1500 words and we split it up into three parts because its actually quite long. That way, youve got a three part series already there and youve already got three articles written. So just consider something like that. And, its just important to basically lay it out nicely as well.
I think thats whats important right now. The next step Ill probably be showing you in the next video is to probably how to setup the articles and get them written and then also start marketing out there onto the Internet. But the most important thing here is just to show you exactly how Ive gone about setting up the WordPress site at 3daydetoxhq.com and as Ive said its just a simple to-do list which anyone can just follow and implement. It doesnt take very long, it just takes a bit of time to get it setup and once youve set it up, then the next process is really just to automate your article submissions and also set that up.
