Using WordPress

As a susie homemaker and as a successful work at home mom, I knew I would need a website to help build my business.  When I started Moms in Slippers eleven years ago, I used FreeWebs as my platform.  I got a lot of traffic driving to my site every day and MIS was thriving.  My Google Adsense was growing and I was doing really well, but then I discovered WordPress and everything changed for me.

After doing extensive research on other platforms I decided to give WordPress a try.  Oh my goodness, WordPress was beyond complicated with it’s themes and myriad of plugins.  I tried my best to figure out this impossible platform, but I just didn’t understand how it worked.  I couldn’t figure out how to configure the menu, the plugins or anything.  I was stumped and I’m an expert when it comes to things like this, but WordPress had me.  It was truly a daunting task trying to learn how to use this platform.

Back to Webs and Then Brave Net

Okay, here I go, back to Webs and then over to Brave Net.  My oh my I was all over the place trying to figure out what platform would be a good fit for me and MIS.  I tried and really liked Bravenet, but I wasn’t satisfied with the widths of their themes.  I like things a certain way and I just couldn’t see myself using Bravenet longterm even though it had some great features.  I then decided to go back to Webs, for the hundredth time and just keep MIS there, but that relationship fizzled once again.

Light Bulb Moment

I went back to WordPress and all of a sudden I had a lightbulb moment and I’ve been in love ever since.  The only problem that I’ve found with WordPress is that it was hard to drive traffic to my site until I did some more serious studying and found the key on how to get traffic to my WordPress blog/site.  My goodness, talk about challenging, but I have enjoyed everything I’ve learned about WordPress.  I’ll be producing my ebook soon on how to use WordPress to build your blog/website because I do believe that there is a need for it.

When I was trying my best to figure out WordPress I watched YouTube videos, but they were really no help.  In my upcoming course I will show you step-by-step and I mean step-by-step on how to setup your WordPress blog and how to use the plugins and everything that goes with running a successful WordPress site.  I want to give my audience step-by-step details because most tutorials fly through the lessons and they are not very clear or they go around the moon and back again.
