Social Networking - 10 Steps to Finding Your Target Market in Facebook
(0)
Everyone is talking about social networking, and many claim social networking to be the panacea for all of your marketing ills. Marketing on social networking sites like Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter can help you increase the size of your email list and help you grow your business. The key to success with this strategy is making sure that members of your target market are in your network.
Facebook is very strict and very particular about how its participants contact each other. Facebook limits the number of new invitations that can be sent in a given day or week. The exact number is a Facebook secret and unknown to the public, but if you exceed this secret amount you can get booted from Facebook. However, I think if you stick with no more than 10 per day, you will probably stay within their limits. Secondly, you are permitted only 5000 friends in Facebook, so if you’re successful in this strategy, you may ultimately need to create a waiting list of friends.
How do you find your target market in Facebook? Whether you’re an experienced social networker or just a newbie, here are 10 secrets to growing your target market network in Facebook:
1. Update-to-date profile and/or Fan page: Before you begin a “friending” (i.e. request to become another’s friend), be sure that your profile is up-to-date with an accurate description of what you do, your interests, and your contact info, including your web site URLs. If you have multiple businesses, invite people in your appropriate target market to become fans of your niche-specific fan page.
2. Follow the gurus. Follow leaders in your field/industry and “friend” them. Anytime you make a friend request, include a personal note, as that will increase the likelihood that they will accept your request. Say something like, “I’m a big fan and have been on your ezine/blog list for several years. I’d love to have you in my network in Facebook.” Once they have accepted your invitation, make comments about their status updates to help you get on their radar and in front of their networks.
3. Friends of friends. Take a look at the people in the network of your industry leaders, as they are probably part of your target market as well, and send friend requests to those of interest to you. When you friend someone that you only know by association, send a personal note as well, like “I discovered your profile in ’s network and would like to get to know you batter by adding you to my network.”
4. Use groups. Look for groups that may contain your target market. In your search for groups, use keywords that describe your niche, your industry, your geographic area, the interests of your target market, or whatever other terms you might use to find members of your target market. Join and begin to participate in the group so that they begin to get to know you. Then peruse the member lists for good prospects, sic as the members you’ve connected with or have gotten to know. Since you won’t be able to view the profiles of the group members because they aren’t in your network, much of your decision-making about whom to friend may be based upon appearance or how you might be connected to them via other friends in your network.
5. Check your own lists. Friend people that you already know from your high school, college, alumni associations, and places of employment if they fall within your target market definition.
6. Facebook-recommended friends. Facebook typically recommends friends based on your current friends list when you log into your profile. I’ve found these recommendations to be pretty solid. Take them up on their recommendation and add those folks to your network.
7. Add by interest or industry. Do a people search by job title, industry, geographic location, or interest. Those people with those terms in their profile will show up in your search, and you can request to add them based on common interests.
8. Build the relationship. Once you friend someone, you need to begin to get to know them and start them on the like, know and trust journey so that you become their top-of-mind expert in a particular area. Begin building the relationship by posting a quick “thank you” note on their wall, as well as a comment about something on their profile that interests you or in which you have in common. Watch for their status updates, as well, and comment on these when appropriate.
9. Create a group. Once you’ve got about 500 followers, create a group for your target market. Provide the group with useful content and and ask questions to stimulate discussion and get the members to return to participate in the group. You can post articles, links to blog posts, or videos you have created. Invite group members to any free virtual or face-to-face events you’re hosting.
10. Integrate into your plan. No marketing strategy works unless you consistently implement it over time. As a newbie to Facebook, you might want to spend as much as 60 minutes per day researching friends and participating in groups. As your network grows, you many spend only 15 minutes 3 times per week on Facebook. The key to success is to put this strategy on your calendar and make it a routine part of your ongoing Internet marketing tasks.
While social networking is an inexpensive marketing tool and can be effective in helping you grow your business, maintain your other marketing strategies, as well, and simply add this strategy to your marketing mix. A well-rounded Internet marketing plan that includes social networking and is implemented consistently will mean that your prospect well will never run dry.

Becoming an Article Writer
(0)
To become an article writer, you only need to find customers and get started writing. The customers can usually be located at various forums or websites where webmasters go looking for services, such as writing. Other websites such as getafreelancer.com, guru.com, or elance.com allow you to bid for projects, and still others such as associatedcontent.com and constant-content.com might buy already written work.
Once you have an assignment, prepare a piece using your best skills and double-check for accuracy, spelling and grammar. Your article should be interesting and fresh with material that will catch the eye and the attention of the reader. It goes without saying that every article you write must be your own work.
Complete the assignment and sent it to the client who requested it. Be sure you have already agreed on payment terms and how you would like your payment delivered - PayPal is the most common method of payment. As you grow in skill and reputation, your article writing business will grow as well. If you have the talent and drive, you might soon be working at the professional level.
Most internet visitors go online looking for something to watch or read. They might be researching a topic or looking for something entertaining. Even those who use the internet for business or just for emails have been tempted to read a funny story or interesting article.
Those who run websites have realized that these articles or blog posts are what visitors are looking for. They want visitors to come back, so they are constantly adding new articles or new blog material. The only problem for many of the webmasters is that they don't have the time or skill necessary to keep up with the site's content, or writing.
If you can write a good story or do a bit of research and pull together a short, interesting summary or article, you can make money as an article writer. To become an article writer, you must first understand the market and distinguish where you and your particular writing skills fit in.
Professional Writers
There have almost always been individuals who are skilled and trained to write for formal publications. These writers prepare articles of magazine quality and some now write for real print magazines as well as websites. Professional writers demand a very high rate for their knowledge and skill, usually more than $0.10 per word. They are experts in a particular topic and have years of experience crafting articles.
SEO Writers
At the bottom of the writing quality food chain are SEO writers. SEO is search engine optimization and involves using certain words in a site's text in order for the site to be listed in search engines for that particular word. If a site is optimized for "article writer" the phrase is deliberately used repetitively throughout the work.
This style of writing is almost always geared more toward search engines, not actual readers. Since search engines don't know the difference between quality writing and poor writing, these articles are usually slapped together quickly.
They might contain poor grammar or obviously be written by someone who speaks English as a second language.
There is a large market for these articles, however. SEO writing usually brings in no more than $0.015 per word, but quality material is not usually an issue. The goal in SEO writing is to use a certain word or phrase a number of times and ideally use it in sentences that make sense in a broad way.
Article Writers
Article writers fall in between the two spectrums. Better writers demand higher rates and those who are still developing their skills fall at the bottom of the spectrum. Article writers may write on many different topics or only in a specific niche. Usually the more specialized you are, the more you can charge for your expertise. Article writers bring in $0.02 - $0.09 per word depending on ability and topic. A good article writer can prepare "search engine friendly" material using keywords naturally in text written for actual readers.

Make Money as a Copywriter
(0)
Copywriters are some of the most highly paid writers. A copywriter prepares marketing and sales text to help bring people and potential buyers to a certain business, either online or off. Copywriters prepare items such as sales letters, website content, brochures, emails and fliers. These must be powerfully written to appeal to possible customers, and effective copy can make a tremendous amount of money, hence the high rates copywriters charge.

Copywriting is marketing at is finest, and there are experts and resources that will help build a marketing foundation in writers anxious to learn this valuable skill.
Take classes or read all you can to learn the proper format of sales letters and other material. Read the work of others to see current trends and styles. Practice writing copy for your own projects and websites before attempting to do so for clients - copywriting is easily tracked through product or service sales, so you must be knowledgeable and confident before taking on projects.
Set up Shop
Once you have the skills necessary to begin working as a copywriter, you must establish yourself in the market. Many copywriters work as freelancers either part-time
or full-time. These individuals may create their own website or at the very least a profile on someone else's site. Traditional copywriters also work on print materials, not just online, so business cards and fliers may also bring in clients.
Your rates will be tied to your productivity, so starting copywriters can not charge as much as successful, established professionals. The first few projects you take on might be heavily discounted or even free to help build a portfolio and obtain valuable references and actual experience.
Other copywriters first begin selling items or services of their own to show their skill. This is why a website or brochure makes a great deal of sense for a copywriter - what better way to show your marketing ability than to effectively market yourself?
Build a Network
Copywriting is a skill in high demand and most copywriting business is brought in on referrals. This means that the better a copywriter's client and professional network, the more business he is likely to have. Network with others in the industry and constantly read and research methods and philosophies.
Over time, you will most likely develop a specialty in a form of promotion or a particular industry. This is desirable as specialists know an industry inside and out and have the right contacts. If you are a specialist in a field, you will be well-known within that industry for your work and have earned a great deal of respect and profits.

Now is the time to set goals. Every endeavor needs goals, and your goals for your home based business are paramount. Having goals will give you direction.

Can Money Really Be Made Online?
(0)
If you've ever asked yourself, “Can Money Really Be Made Online?”, then it's a good thing you're reading through this article.
You see, there are so many of us who dream of leaving that desk job and entering the business world on our own. The fears that keep many of us from doing just that is the security we think we have with our 9-5 jobs.
The truth, though, is that there's no more security at your desk job than there is out in the world on your own. Not to use “scare tactics”, but you could be laid off at any time through a “normal” company – especially with the way the economy has been lately.
One main difference between a desk job and a business online is that with the latter, you're in control of your future, your income and you hold the key to opening up your true potential.
That being said, you DO have to be wary.
There are thousands of scams out there promising to make you rich overnight and you really need to be wary.
Don't get me wrong – some things did work in the beginning, but can now be outdated with how quickly the Internet has been moving.
There are countless Internet Marketing and MLM opportunities that made people lots of money in the beginning, but are now extinct.
But worry not – as mentioned, it still is more than possible to make money online – you just need to be smart
about what you're doing.
You want to make sure that the program you end up going with has certain elements included. For example, you should...
1. Make sure you can earn money relatively quickly. Sure, you don't want to work with a company that promises super-fast riches overnight (that just screams of “scam”!), but you also want to make sure you can be earning cash within a month or so.
2. Ensure there are no special skills required. Many good companies have incredible training programs so that you don't need to worry about having to know anything special.
3. Always check and see how customer support is. Yes, you'll be going into business for yourself and earning your own money, but you also want to make sure that if you have any questions, especially in the beginning, you'll be well taken care of.
There's a new type of program – called “GPT” - that passes all of these criterion. With the program, it's very possible to make a comfortable living and even become a successful millionaire by marketing your business online.
One reason for this is that you're able to reach businesses and clients from around the globe, making your marketing campaign the strongest of any available.
So, the answer to the question, “Can Money Really be Made Online?” is Yes! You can make as much money as you wish and become as successful as you desire. Just make sure you work with the right type of program so that it's inevitable that you succeed.

The Reality of Following Your Dream
(0)
Entrepreneurialism can sound a frightening word (and that’s not just getting the spelling right!). The trouble is that many people assume that entrepreneurs are go-getters of the modern world, the high flying successes with bank balances bursting at the seams, and the Midas touch that turns ideas into gold overnight; they’re the people whose bank managers call them up asking for a loan.
The truth is very different. Ask any entrepreneur and they’ll gladly put you right, and assure you that nothing could be further from the truth. Many of the common assumptions people associate with independent business owners, or sole traders, are woefully inaccurate, often gleaned from the media’s obsession with personal individual success and the American Dream. Let’s look at what being an entrepreneur really means, and who these people really are.
Most entrepreneurs are ordinary people like you or me. They are very rarely the high flying successes, flung skywards through their success in the city; in fact, those who already have a successful city career, in what one might term a ‘traditional’ or ‘normal’ job are the least likely to step from behind the security of their desk, and brave the world alone. Generally those who do take the initiative are those who are either fed up with the monotony or sheer frustration which can come with many jobs these days, or who have a burning personal desire or passion, a dream they feel compelled to follow.
We all have dreams, hopes and ambitions; entrepreneurs are, in the main, simply those people who have got up from their comfortable office chair with lumbar support and arm rests and stepped outside to do something about those dreams, ambitions and desires. They are, largely speaking, passionate people, with self belief and determination.
But let’s consider the next assumption that tends to walk into such a discussion: risk. Most people, at least, most people who have never tried, will happily tell you that starting out on your own, becoming your own boss, and starting up your own business idea is incredibly risky, and that it is likely to cost you a fortune, and that
you’ll see very little income for years, and even that is assuming you survive long enough to earn anything.
Most of this scaremongering is meant well, but generally comes from those who could never become entrepreneurs because they have no self belief, no courage, and have packaged away their dreams and ambition in a small cardboard box which has been locked away in a filing cabinet in the basement of the office block in which they have willingly becoming imprisoned until released back into society when they retire.
There is risk in anything, as we can readily see today, with the stock market looking gloomy, traders panicking, businesses crashing, and increasing number of people finding themselves out of work. There is no longer such a thing as job security, or a job for life – in any business. Entrepreneurialism is a way of protecting yourself, to a certain degree, by taking greater control over your finances, job and future.
You become the boss, aware of all aspects of your business, and able to make sensible decisions both within your business and your personal life, in full knowledge of the situation, and all relevant factors. Who can honestly say that, while working for a company or business, your boss keeps you fully informed of every possible risk and problem occurring which could potentially jeopardize the future of your job, income or even the company? Very few!
Entrepreneurialism is not risk free – that would be absurd to suggest, but the risks are known, and manageable. You’re in control, and that alone can make a world of difference to your peace of mind. Stress is largely down to a feeling that you are not in control; no matter how much needs doing, or whatever the pressure, stress only becomes an issue when we feel over burdened with worries and pressure, and unable to control where we are and what we are expected to do.
If you have a business idea, a hobby you’d like to turn into a home business, a work from home opportunity you’d like to pursue, or a ground breaking product or service you’d like to launch, then running your own business may well be for you, giving you the opportunity to follow your dreams, lower stress, feel in control, and be positive about your future. All you need is a plan, and a dream and, of course, belief in yourself.

Super Affiliate Tips and Tools
(0)
Super Affiliates are those affiliate marketers who are pros at their professions. They earn enough money to earn a living out and even live in luxury. They don’t need a “main” job to make enough income.
Therefore, affiliate marketing is not a way for them to earn some extra cash for a few months. They know what works and what doesn’t in the business. The only way for you to know this as well is to pay close attention to what these super affiliates do.
Once you start understanding how these marketers do what they do so well, you will be surprised to know that it doesn’t take up all of your time. Neither does it require backbreaking physical effort or mind boggling mental activity.
Success in affiliate marketing depends mostly on one thing: traffic. If you are unable to drive enough traffic to your website, no matter how much the product you are advertising is in demand, you will never make too much profit out of it. The product is on one side, and profit out of selling the product is on the other. Traffic to your website is the bridge that connects the two. Unless you know how to build one nice and strong, you will never be a super star in the affiliate realm.
The trick is not to specialize in one form of traffic converting tool; one should use all the ways in which there can be increased traffic generation for the website.
This means that you don’t only think of the most appropriate keywords for your web content, but you also use RSS feeds, blogs and pop up ads to spread the word.
Search engine optimization (SEO) is an important key to higher traffic generation to a website. Once your site holds a high enough ranking on most of the search engines like Google and Yahoo! people will automatically visit your site more often.
Use ezine solo ads in order to drive traffic to your website. All you need to do is send your ad material to one of the newsletter publishers saying you want this published as an ezine ad. You will of course have to pay for it depending on the content, the size and the number of subscribers to your mailing list. These people will receive your ad regularly.
Only creating and spreading affiliate links all over the web is not enough to master the art of affiliate marketing. You have to keep a check on the leads and the rate of conversion that they are generating for your business. Depending on that you shall have to modify your ad plan.
There are many software programs available in the market that helps you to keep track of the number of hits received by your website and such statistics regarding other marketing tools. Some of these can be used for free. If you are a beginner in this area you should use the free versions. Once you get the hang of how this works you can use the paid versions which will definitely have advanced features.

5 Must Have Qualities for Affiliate Marketing Success
(0)
If you are an introvert, an affiliate business is the perfect business for you. You don't have to handle customer service, have a merchant account, or even build a website.
Before you start your affiliate business, or any business for that matter, there is something you need to know. There are certain characteristics you need to have to become a successful affiliate marketer.
1. Willingness to learn
It's very hard to succeed in affiliate marketing if you are afraid to learn. To start, you need to learn the terminology, marketing, and website building (if you plan to build a website). There is a wealth of information available on the internet to help you get started that's free.
Don't spend a ton of money before you understand what you are buying. Otherwise, you'll simply end up with a ton of stuff you don't know how to use. Do your homework first.
When I first started off, every time I came across a term that I didn't understand, I popped it into the search engines. I've since built on that knowledge by reading hundreds, possibly thousands of articles, ebooks, and other resources.
2. Willingness to invest your time and energy
Read all of the articles and ebooks you want. If you don't take that knowledge and apply it, then you have wasted your time. You still
need to do the work. Take what you have learned and apply it to your business. Your business will grow faster.
If you are still working a J.O.B., then this may be harder. Take a good hard look at your life and decide what's most important.
3. Self-determination
Don't expect others to do for you what you have to do for yourself. If you're waiting on the economy to change, the right candidate to be elected, or anything else, you'll end up never starting your business.
Like having a baby, there is no perfect time to start a business. Don't wait for the perfect circumstances. Get started now.
4. Discipline
It's hard when you're working a J.O.B. to stick to building your affiliate business. The beauty of an affiliate business is that it doesn't require you to create your own products, or provide customer service, so you have more time to focus on business building, as well as marketing.
Even if all you have is 30 minutes a day to work on your business, allocate that time and stick to it. Your business will quickly gain momentum, and you'll turn a profit.
5. Optimism
No matter how much knowledge or skill you have, if you don't believe in yourself, you won't do it. As Goethe once said, "Believe in yourself and then begin it."
Set goals for what you want to achieve and then take steps each day to reach those goals. You will succeed.

4. Discipline
It's hard when you're working a J.O.B. to stick to building your affiliate business. The beauty of an affiliate business is that it doesn't require you to create your own products, or provide customer service, so you have more time to focus on business building, as well as marketing.
Even if all you have is 30 minutes a day to work on your business, allocate that time and stick to it. Your business will quickly gain momentum, and you'll turn a profit.
5. Optimism
No matter how much knowledge or skill you have, if you don't believe in yourself, you won't do it. As Goethe once said, "Believe in yourself and then begin it."
Set goals for what you want to achieve and then take steps each day to reach those goals. You will succeed.

Top 3 Affiliate Tactics to Increase Your Sales
(0)
The first step in earning more money from affiliate programs is to build your own website. By building your own affiliate website, you have so much more flexibility in how you can both promote products on your site, as well as market your site elsewhere.
There are plenty of things you can do to get more out of your website, but if you really want to increase your sales and website conversion, use these:
1. Use a unique page for each product you are marketing.
Although many internet marketers will tell you to build one page websites, and give your visitors only one thing to do, I believe most people are smarter than that. They don't need you to hold their hand when they visit your website.
What they do need for you to do is provide them with valuable information on whatever topic it is you are marketing. Don't let them leave your site empty handed.
By creating a unique page for each product you offer, you can give your visitors more information on the product. This includes product reviews, product testimonials, and articles about the particular topic. Don't forget to include some type of call to action in the page though. Once your visitors find what they're looking for, you do want them to take action.
2. Offer your readers a free report.
Free
reports are a great way for you to provide additional information on a product, as well as a particular topic. A report you've written that is unique is especially valuable.
Since visitors can download your report and read it at their leisure, you are providing additional value. The reason is that most people are still on dial up. It can be a hassle to stay online and read online with a slow internet connection.
Free reports can sometimes go viral when visitors like your report and pass it along to friends. This means more targeted free traffic to your site.
3. Drive targeted traffic to your website.
Don't waste your time doing marketing techniques that don't work. It will only brand you as an amateur. Avoid using mailing lists you haven't built unless the source you are using is reputable.
Sites that promise you 100,000,000 email addresses from Yahoo or some other site are generally offering you emails they have picked up using robots. Your message probably won't target the type of visitors you are looking for.
Stick to promotional methods that work, like search engine optimization, article writing, free classifieds, and other techniques that allow you to select the correct market for your product.
Make yourself different and offer your visitors more value than other affiliates. You will make the sale.

Choosing The Right Affiliate Program
(0)
Choosing the right affiliate products to promote has become a much more difficult task than in the past. Before retailers fully recognized the benefits of using affiliates to market their products, the choices for products to promote were not that extensive. If a marketer ran a website devoted to outdoor activities, there were probably only a handful of affiliate programs that fit that niche.
Today, the situation is much different. There are hundreds (probably thousands) of affiliate programs being marketed today in just about every imaginable product category. The incredible amount of choices has lead to the rise of affiliate program directories to help marketers find these products. The large affiliate networks such as Clickbank, Linkshare, and Commission Junction are as popular as ever and are offering more products to promote. Not everyone with a product to sell can afford to use these affiliate services, however, and many have opted to run their own private affiliate programs.
These private programs make up the majority of the listings in affiliate program directories and can represent excellent opportunities for affiliate marketers. Choosing the right programs and products can be a very tricky process, especially for those that are new to the business. If you are planning on joining a new affiliate program, there are several factors that should be taken into consideration before putting in the effort to promote their products.
One of the first considerations that comes to mind is the amount and type of commission that is paid for referrals. Most programs pay a percentage based on the referred sale price, but there are others that pay a set price per sale and some even pay for signups or other referral types. When selecting any affiliate product, make sure that the offered commission is high enough to justify using your valuable time and marketing capabilities to promote.
Another consideration is the payout threshold and timing. These are different for all affiliate programs and are very important
to pay attention to. Each affiliate program will pay commissions on a payout schedule like the 1st and 15th of each month. Generally speaking, the more often the program pays commissions, the better. You should be very careful of programs that go two or three months between payouts. The payout threshold is often overlooked, but can be very important. The truth is that something like 85% of affiliate sales are referred by around 5% of affiliate marketers. That means that the other 95% are not cranking out sale after sale for any product. If a program has a high payment threshold, it could take a while to reach the required amount to be paid, if you ever do. I would try to target programs that have a threshold that can be met with only 2-3 referrals.
Each affiliate program will also have its own "cookie length". This is the amount of time that your tracking cookie will stay on the computer of those you refer through your affiliate link. These cookie lengths can range from a single session cookie, all the way up to lifetime cookies. I would recommend against joining any program offering a cookie length of less than a few days. Preferably, you want this setting to be at least a month or longer. If the cookie length is too short, you can lose sales if the person goes through your link, but then goes back to buy directly from the vendor website a few days later.
The final and most important consideration when choosing an affiliate program is the quality of the product or products that you would promote. If the product has very little value for the price, it doesn't matter what the commission is because you won't sell any. This is all too often overlooked by marketers. Be sure to focus your efforts on products that you think you will be able to sell easily and stay away from products that are out of your general scope.
Marketing new affiliate products is fun and exciting, but it is important to make sure you are focusing your efforts on the right affiliate programs. By taking all of these factors into consideration before choosing a product to promote, you will be able to make a better choice of affiliate program which will hopefully result in more affiliate revenue for your business.

WordPress 2.7
(0)
WordPress is a state-of-the-art semantic personal publishing platform.
WordPress focuses on aesthetics, web standards, and usability.
Here are some key features of "WordPress":
· Full standards compliance - We have gone to great lengths to make sure every bit of WordPress generated code is in full compliance with the standards of the W3C. This is important not only for interoperability with today's browser but also for forward compatibility with the tools of the next generation. Your web site is a beautiful thing, and you should demand nothing less.
· No rebuilding - Changes you make to your templates or entries are reflected immediately on your site, with no need for regenerating static pages.
· WordPress Pages - Pages allow you to manage non-blog content easily, so for example you could have a static "About" page that you manage through WordPress. For an idea of how powerful this is, the entire WordPress.org site could be run off WordPress alone. (We don't for technical mirroring reasons.)
· WordPress Links - Links allows you to create, maintain, and update any number of blogrolls through your administration interface. This is much faster than calling an external blogroll manager.
· WordPress Themes - WordPress comes with a full theme system which makes designing everything from the simplest blog to the most complicated webzine a piece of cake, and you can even have multiple themes with totally different looks that you switch with a single click. Have a new design every day.
· Cross-blog communication tools - WordPress fully supports both the Trackback and Pingback standards, and we are committed to supporting future standards as they develop.
· Comments - Visitors to your site can leave comments on individual entries, and through Trackback or Pingback can comment on their own site. You can enable or disable comments on a per-post basis.
· Spam protection - Out of the box WordPress comes with very robust tools such as an integrated blacklist and open proxy checker to manage and eliminate comment spam on your blog, and there is also a rich array of plugins that can take this functionality a step further.
· Full user registration - WordPress has a built-in user registration system that (if you choose) can allow people to register and maintain profiles and leave authenticated comments on your blog. You can optionally close comments for non-registered users. There are also plugins that hide posts from lower level users.
· Password Protected Posts - You can give passwords to individual posts to hide them from the public. You can also have private posts which are viewable only by their author.
· Easy installation and upgrades - Installing WordPress and upgrading from previous versions and other software is a piece of cake.
Instalation :
Download and unzip the WordPress package, if you haven't already
Create a database for WordPress on your web server, as well as a MySQL user who has all privileges for accessing and modifying it
Rename the wp-config-sample.php file to wp-config.php
Open wp-config.php in your favorite text editor and fill in your database details.
Place the WordPress files in the desired location on your web server
Run the WordPress installation script by accessing wp-admin/install.php in your favorite web browser
