Why Clone Wordpress Blogs Will Save You Maximum Time

You probably know the feeling

You probably know the feeling. You have a large number of sites to deploy, but really don't want to have to spend a ton of time installing WordPress, correcting the right settings, adding the right plugins, and selecting the right theme to use. Here's something that I learned some time ago. If there is ever an easier way to do a job, chances are it is not going to get the job done well enough. However, if there is a way to get the job done better in a shorter time frame, its something to look into.

A while ago, I got into WordPress cloning, and tried many different methods in the aim of trying to get the most out of my time, and to give myself the ability to deploy various blogs to several domains with as minimal effort as possible. The problem is however is that most people do not understand why it is that people such as myself want to do this. I'll give you a quick run down.

This Is An Exercise In Time Management

Time is better spent on the things that matter, and to be honest, deploying WordPress installs is a pretty important task, however, it is very lengthy. In the past, I have been known to spend a whole day setting up and configuring one installation of WordPress, which is time spent doing too much of a good thing in my opinion.

So, what if you could create a clone of your perfect WordPress installation, and have it at your disposal whenever you wanted to set up a new blog or website? This is hands down one of my biggest time savers.

But How Do I Create And Install A Clone?

There are two ways that this can be done. The first is manual, which involves a complete backup of the files within your domain, and a backup of the SQL database. These files and database are then transferred to the new host, which can be a daunting task for those who are not skilled up in how to use SQL databases and certain coding abilities.

The second option involves using commercial software and scripts that will create a copy of your WordPress installation in a single file that can be transferred to a new hosting account and deployed within a matter of seconds.

The choice is yours however, some people prefer to do the hard yards, however from my experience, my turning point was truly when I found software that would do this for me. If you can save up to an hour per installation, then that is time better spend on other more important tasks.
