WordPress Guides, Tips And Strategies For Successful Blogs

Earning from your writing, be it a blog or an article posted to article directories or web page is easy! Yes, I said EASY! Even if your writing sucks, you can and SHOULD EARN from it!

As someone who NEVER had proper English education (I learned my English from conversations on fishing boats while crabbing in Alaska and through reading) I fail to understand how someone who used the language all his life and completed at least a few classes of formal education can say that he or she is unable to write!

Perhaps these tips will help you if you find yourself in this predicament…

This post is written to address multiple questions I have received from my existing customers and readers of my blog – how to build WordPress blog with minimal number of plugins for speed and still profit from it. While the choices will greatly depend on what niche you are addressing and your goals, I’ll provide some of my personal choices that I think should be part of ANY WordPress blog, no matter how minimalistic it is.

But first, lets define minimalist:

min·i·mal·ist (mn-m-lst) n.

1. One who advocates a moderate or conservative approach, action, or policy, as in a political or governmental organization.
2. A practitioner of minimalism.

And now lets discuss how we can make our WordPress blog to follow the standart above…

Article Marketing is one of the most effective and natural ways to build incoming links to your site or blog and increase authority status. It is also one of the simplest and cost effective as most article directories are free to submit your content to. Problem comes into to play when you attempt to submit to many sites to increase effectiveness of the strategy – Article Marketing Is Time Consuming!

Anyone who is done it before (free) knows that I’m right and most of the time I simply go for article distribution services which cost me – but saves time. And time is of essence! If you feel same way – you might want to read this post as I’m about to describe:

• How To Build Incoming Links
• How To Get Content to Your Blog!

Either option can be beneficial to you…

While this topic is not exactly WordPress related it deals directly with our ability to write. Freedom of speech defined in US Constitution means nothing to some corporations who find that it is easier to get a blogger silenced by a threat of lawsuit. Even if they have to follow through with that frivolous lawsuit – it is a drop in the bucket from them, which a HUGE financial burden for 99.9% of the bloggers!

If you think it will never apply to you – think again! Anytime you write an article and share your opinion you are painting a target on your own back and it is only a matter if anyone willing to hit it or not. But time might come when they will! Learn how you can help fellow blogger who is in this position right now!

WordPress 2.6.2 is made available couple hours and you need to decide if upgrade is right for you or even needed. I do have to mention that it contains not only bug fixes but also addresses a security issue that is common to many PHP applications.

Reading through the issues addressed as described on developers blog - I’m safe to wait with upgrade until I have a bit more time as I don’t allow open registration and my PHP is compiled with latest Suhosin. If you are not sure about yours – perhaps you should upgrade.
