I have just watched this video and I learned something and I am looking forward to watching all videos. I am using a wordpress blog and it’s only about less than a month’s old. I don’t have my own product but I plan to get into affiliate marketing. I really want to learn everything about blogging and I am really thankful that I saw Yaro’s site. It’s a very helpful and informational site.

How do I copy these tutorials and the written materials onto my computer so I can look at them off line, like when on a sail boat?

Hi
i would like to ask that why i should not start with blogger instead of wordpress.org when blogger platform not only free,it can be monetized as well.
i read somewhere that there is a significant drop in your traffic once your blog is transferred to your own host e.g like from blogger to wordpress.org.Is it even possible to transfer blogs between different platforms.

Hey khurram
The main issue with blogger and other similar services is that you don’t actually own anything with them. So, if they decide that they want to cancel your account for whatever reason, you could lose all your work.
With WordPress.org that is no longer an issue, since you store all your content on your own server. And if something does go wrong, you still have access to your content.

i would like to ask one thing more.initially no one knows the initial response or the traffic that a person would get to his blog.Won’t it be waste of money if your topic doesnt get much attention and you are spending money aimlessly on a topic(by hosting blog for wordpress.org) that no body seems to care about.

Correct!
That’s why you need to do some initial research to make sure that your niche is profitable.
But even then, you can never be sure.
For example, I am currently looking at starting up a new blog in a niche that still needs to develop a lot. If it develops the way I think it will, it will be a VERY profitable niche. But because it’s such a new niche, I cannot tell from current research whether it will be profitable or not… the data simply does not exist (yet).
So, the market research at the beginning is important, but you also need to realize that it will not provide you with a surefire way to success online.
I still think the best is to do your initial research, find out if people are actually interested in your type of content, set up a blog and start adding content, and see what happens. As you go, you will quickly find out whether you’re on the right path or not.
And yes, some blogs will never take off. And some will be super successful. That’s just how it is in any business.
Regards
Gideon

This is an amazing video series. Wow. Impressive. Thank you!
[Reply]
Gideon is an excellent presenter with a very clear and precise verbal style that makes listening to him easy and enjoyable. This first video certainly answers many questions I have had and makes me more comfortable about beginning a blog.

Hey just saw the first video as yet and already feel great about the whole idea of blogging. Now it feels a lot more simple and easier.
Yet to go thru the remaining videos though.

I’m not a professional blogger , but this video tutorial has given me an in-sight on blogging. Thats the reason I wonder why I do get quite good clients on wordpress projects
[Reply]
These are the first videos ever that I gone through all 10 and not got asleep.
Awesomely executed, well designed and planned and with clear voice.
A very neat, Precise, Concise and to the point presentation and an excellent use of Camtasia Tool I guess. Clearly showing the professionalism of the presenters.
Thanks alot.
A few More Questions:
1: Buying a Domain and Host will cost 15$ a Year or more..
wordpress.org is free as I can see.
FTP client is also free as I can see.
2: If I know CSS, Can I change the Theme design.
3: I need some 20 Gb Space on my site, Will it be provided by the Domain or Host and in the same amount.
Thanks

Sorry for typo150$ I meant a year.
Also using wordpress.org. Will I have full rights and privilege of doing anything on my site meaning tweeting any option etc.
Also in wordpress.com, We use a dashboard. Will we be having a dashboard as well on wordpress.org.
Thanks. I think you have to made 10 more videos for me alone
