In this post, I’m going to dig into one of the most perplexing questions WordPress beginners grapple with: WordPress.com vs WordPress.org. If you’re struggling with what the difference between these two is, there’s one thing for sure:
You’re not alone.
PowerPoint presentations offer a great way to communicate structured information to your viewership. And if you’re thinking about sharing them on your site to recap presentations that you’ve delivered, propose new product ideas to clients, offer how-to guides, or communicate your product’s features, then you’re going to need to find a way to embed them in your website.
Everyone that runs a website is dying to know how to capture more emails. After all, building your email list is a great way to expand your brand, encourage more sales, and solidify yourself as an authority in your industry. Plus, emails sent out by you to interested site visitors are personal, purposeful, well-targeted, relatively inexpensive to manage, and are a great way to forge one-on-one relationships with your subscribers.
Rather than simply hoping users will sign up in your sidebar, what if you could convince site visitors to opt-in with their email addresses immediately after clicking on your website?
Well you can, using a squeeze page.
Sales funnels are popular right now. You can hardly scroll your Facebook news feed without seeing one or more advertisements for “profitable sales funnel training.”
It’s understandable – a sales funnel is designed to take your visitors on a journey from being an interested party on your site to a buyer of your product or service.
But, what is a sales funnel anyway?
We all know how important it is to make sure your site is running the latest version of WordPress. Major WordPress releases often bring security updates and new features to the platform. And although the content management system allows you to update to the latest version by simply clicking a button, you can also update WordPress manually using FTP or SFTP.
In this post, we’ll walk you through a step-by-step tutorial on how to update WordPress using both FTP and SFTP. But before we dive into the tutorial, let’s take a look at why you’d want to update WordPress manually in the first place.
Let’s get started!
If you want your site to rank highly in Google, you need an SEO plugin to make all of the on-page SEO tweaks that WordPress doesn’t allow by default. While there are a number of SEO plugins that you can choose from, most of the time your decision is going to come down to Yoast SEO vs All in One SEO.
So – which of these two SEO titans should you choose? Well, let’s find out…
Are you ready to start growing your email list? But, not sure how to go about mastering email list technology?
You’ve got some decisions to make, and without experience, it’s hard to know which way to go.
Which email service provider should you use? Do you need to use a lead capture plugin? If so, which one? How do you deliver opt-in freebies and how do you tag people so you know what they’re interested in?
Navigation of your WordPress website via the navigation menu is one of the most crucial elements for making your site user-friendly.
After all, if your site visitors cannot maneuver your website’s content why would they stay?
There are so many sites out there that look alike. And for this reason, selecting a theme that is both unique and feature-rich is difficult. WordPress’ flexible customization options allow you to modify a theme’s appearance and make it unique simply by tweaking its CSS.
That said, getting started with CSS customization and modification can be a daunting task – especially if you shy away from code. Thankfully, WordPress makes CSS modifications profoundly simple.
So you want to be a freelance writer, huh? That’s cool. As someone who’s been making a full-time living from freelance writing over the past year, I can say that it’s a pretty fun job… most of the time.
But here’s the thing about freelance writing:
It can be confusing as all get out at the beginning when you’re sitting there clientless and unsure what to do next.
You’ve got the knack of creating opt-in offers that sizzle and attract subscribers like flies to honey. And now you’ve got your first subscriber (or 10, or 100) and you’re ready to take on the world.
But what should you send these people who’re signing up to receive emails from you?

Joomla is one of the most popular content management systems (CMSs) out there that’s designed for power users. However, its complex feature set and advanced functionality might be a little overwhelming – especially if you’re not particularly tech savvy. And for this reason, you may want to consider switching over to a simpler CMS, say, WordPress.
Moving your website from one content system to another may seem painstakingly difficult and even downright impossible at times. The good news is that migrating from Joomla to WordPress is a cakewalk if you’ve got the right tools.

You know having an email list is important, but how do you get people to subscribe in the first place? When you’re staring down at a list of zero (or one – thanks, Mom!), it seems like you’ve got a long way to go to reach even 100, let alone 1,000 or 10,000.

The White Screen of Death is a pesky WordPress error that displays a blank white screen on your site’s front-end without giving you any information about what’s causing the error. It can affect parts of your site (a few posts or pages) or your entire website – including the admin panel.
Fortunately, there’s a systematic way to tackle the most common causes of the White Screen of Death (or, WSoD) even when you have no idea of what went wrong. What’s even better is that you don’t have to be particularly tech savvy to fix the issue on your own.
When your blog posts exceed a few dozen entries, it’s time to rethink your navigation. One way to improve its usability is to add numeric pagination to your blog page.
Adding pagination to your website has a lot of clear benefits. It makes it easier for spiders to crawl deep into your site’s architecture and can drastically improve your page load times.
What’s the one thing most experienced bloggers list as their number one regret?
Not starting their email list sooner.
Having an email list gives you a way to connect with your fans, instantly.
