How To Choose and Install A Theme To WordPress

Theme Notes:

A theme is basically the outline for your site. It’s the graphical portion that makes your site attractive. There are literally thousands upon thousands of themes on the net. You can simply go into google and type in “Free WordPress Themes” to find one that fits your style.

Warning: Not all themes are created equal. Be sure your theme is created by a respected designer. The last thing that you want is to have coding problems and let that get in the way of your Marketing, and SEO (Search Engine Optimization). When it comes to my websites, I only use themes from 2 creators:

WooThemes.com: Woothemes is highly respectable and has been around for years. They have a wide selection of themes for all types of publishers, and have superior customer support. The web site that you are reading this on now, was created with a wootheme.

OptimizePress.com: Optimize Press is my #1 recommendation. The only reason why this site was not designed with Optimize, was because it came out after I created this one. However, my Membership site, and Affiliate Blog were both built with Optimize Press, and more than likely, every future web site that I create will be created with the Optimize Press theme. It is the result of nearly 4 years of research and testing that created the best sales pages, squeeze pages, blogs, membership sites, and launch funnels used by just about every major marketer in the industry. If you ever struggled creating any of the for-mentioned, Optimize Press simplifies the process, and you’ll be up and running before you can catch your breath. I give it 5 out of 5 stars. To learn more, Visit Optimize Press.

Updated for 2020 and beyond: I recommend Elementor or Elegant Themes | Divi. 

Remember … less is more. Keep your site clean and free of ads and distractions. You’ll be able to create additional streams of income in your autoresponder. So, there’s no need to load up your site with distracting advertising. Keep your prospects focused on the main reason why you have them there. And as always… Add Value. What separates you from the competition? Are you leading from a place of posture, or are you still pitching?

How you create your pages, posts and content will determine how you are able to connect with your target audience. Ask yourself…

• Are you being social?
• Set up your gravitar
• Are your readers able to comment and get involved in the conversion?
• Do you have an “About” page that tells your story?
• Can your readers subscribe to your newsletter, or contact you?

Plugins for wordpress are always changing and evolving. As much as I would love to tell you the exact plugins you should get for your blog, by the time you read this, there could be newer and better ones available. What I can do however, is tell you what you want to be looking for so that you can google for the best plugins at the time.

Free Plugins:

• SEO
• Social Media Sharing
• Google Site Maps
• Contact Form
• Analytics
• Related Content
• Pretty Link
• Quick Page / Posts Redirects
• Subscribe To Comments

Tech Note:

Although the lessons above are not incredibly difficult to follow, if you are technically challenged, or a technophobe… Great News –  you still have options : )

In today’s modern age, Systems can often remove the technical challenges we face when marketing our businesses online. If you are set on having a blog online and want to have complete control over your own content to brand yourself and host what you would like, but do not want to deal with the technical challenges of getting your blog online, I strongly recommend ClickFunnels. It is without question, the most used marketing resource by industry leaders today. 

However, if you are NOT insistent on “personal branding” using your own blog, and want to use proven systems to leverage other people’s knowledge to lead with value, with the option to add your own personal content (such as videos and content) to your “funded proposal”, I highly recommend MLSP.

It doesn’t matter which side of the fence you get off on sometimes. What matters most is getting off. You cannot make progress without making decisions. ~ Jim Rohn
