Here’s another video I found on youtube on how to use WordPress to create your website.
I’ll keep looking for videos on youtube cos there are thousands of WordPress website creation tutorials on youtube and you can go there if you want to. However, it can be confusing cos there are just too many choices and you might find it difficult to choose which video to watch. Continue reading →
My friend’s friend bakes as a hobby. She’s been doing it for a year now and she makes the best tiramisu. I have to admit, her cakes were awful during her first few weeks of baking. Yes, Jen, that’s the truth. You know it.
One afternoon, while I was trying my best to finish one of her inferior cakes, she asked me, “Chad, if I had a website, what can I do with it? I don’t know what to put in there.”
It was Thanksgiving 2010. I was still working as a public school speech therapist so I had a whole week off. I just saw the movie The Social Network, which showed how the mega website Facebook was built. I wanted to become like Zuckerberg and have a multi-billion dollar website too. Well, actually, I would’ve settled for a million-dollar site if I had the chance. And so I started researching. I thought to myself, “There are millions of websites on the internet. There’s no way only a special few can do it!” So I Googled it and found websites that taught people how to build websites.
Do you wanna add a youtube video on your blog? Does it seem like a complicated process?
Today, I’m gonna teach you how to add a YouTube video on your WordPress blog. If you can tie your shoelaces, you can add a YouTube video on your blog. It’s that easy. Just watch this video.
I am Chad Turingan and I make cheap websites that work. Yes, I said it. Cheap. Websites. That Work. And by “work”, I mean websites that serve their purpose. I make websites that look nice but not too flashy. How? I use WordPress. I use WordPress because I don’t know how to code. I don’t understand coding and I fall asleep when I try to learn it.
If you want to have your own website (AND YOU SHOULD!), use WordPress so that you don’t have to go to a Web Design company and pay $1000 – $2000.
If you’re a big company and you want to pay that much? Go ahead. Nothing wrong with that.
But if you want to have a cheap but fully functional website, use WordPress. I use it every time. I still don’t know how to code until today but I already made 30 websites so far.
And don’t worry, I’ll teach you how. Just follow me on this website and before you know it, you have your first website up and running, for less than $50.
Why Do I Need A Website? What is the importance of having a website?
These are the questions that an entrepreneur, professional or anyone for that matter, would ask.
Why Do I Need A Website?
1. You need a website because it is a platform where you can express yourself. If you’re a shoemaker, get a website and start a blog where you talk about making shoes. If you’re a teacher, use a website to update your students’ parents of what’s going on in your classroom. If you’re a musician, you can post videos of you making music or even write down your composed lyrics. Your website is an extension of your art. It’s a reflection of your passion. Express your ideas and thoughts using your website.
Yes. Uh huh. That’s right. Bring in the caviar ‘cos it’s about to get ballah in here.
I made $0.17 so far from my Niche Website experiment. I tried following the steps on The Challenge website and the website that I created 3 weeks ago already made a little money via Google AdSense. Here’s the screen shot to prove it.
Woohoo!
I know it’s not much and I have to also remind myself that the goal of this challenge is to make $1, so mission NOT YET accomplished. Hopefully, we’ll see the numbers go up as the weeks go by. I’ll keep you guys updated
I’m on my 6th module of The Challenge and so far, no money being made yet.
I checked out my first video on this site and if there’s one word to describe it, it would be this – depressing. I was all slouched and lifeless during the whole video! But I’ll keep it here. That was the real me that day, unrehearsed. I just wanted to try to make a video blog cos I have to admit, there are times when I do feel lazy writing stuff up. I feel that if I can be good at making video blogs, it would really make life easier for me cos it’s faster and there’s no editing needed. I could just spill whatever’s on my mind and it’s there for the world to see. And see how in the video, I keep looking up and sideways? Do you see it right away? Sometimes I tend to criticize every single movement I make. I think about these things too much. And then when I ask people, they don’t notice what you notice most of the time. Are they just being polite? I don’t know. Maybe. But I’ll keep doing the video blog.
But let’s go back to The Challenge. For those who didn’t see the video, Continue reading →
