I Have Wordpress Installed And Now I Want To Make Some Money
Wordpress is an amazing tool. It’s open source, it’s free, it’s simple to master, it behaves perfectly as a blogging platform and a content management system. You can build sites with it, you can build blogs with it and you can build hybrids with it.
The look of Wordpress can be changed easily and freely as well. People are constantly making themes or templates to change the look and feel of Wordpress. Some themes will cost you but there are 100x as many that are free. You can also add programs which are called plugins to expand the functionality and even the performance of Wordpress.
Wordpress is easy to install, even for beginners, and even when doing it the long way. These days though, doing it the long way is unnecessary. If provided by your hosting company, and it most likely is, you can use the one click install tool to get Wordpress up and running in a jiffy. Well it’s not exactly a one click install, more like 2 or 3, but it’s fast, which is the point.
The procedure to install Wordpress the long way would be to create a MySQL database and note down the important information about it. Then you would upload the Wordpress install files by FTP or through the host CPanel. Then you would install Wordpress and provide it with the necessary info to utilize the database you created. With the short way, the database is created for you and the info Wordpress needs to add data to it, is done automatically. The Wordpress files are also copied to your server automatically.
That’s all well in good to have this tool installed, but now to make money with it. A very popular way to get started making money with Wordpress is by becoming an eBay affiliate. The phpBay plugin is generally used when you want to integrate eBay auction listings into Wordpress. It doesn’t matter whether you use Wordpress as a website or blog, phpBay is the way to go.
When using phpbay you can very easily add eBay auctions to Wordpress posts and pages. Your affiliate ID will be attached to all outgoing auction links and you will receive a commission on the transaction fees of any winning bids, plus you get larger commissions for referring new customers to eBay.
