If you are the “do it yourself” type you can open up a web hosting account at MySmallBiz Hosting, login to the hosting control panel and install wordpress onto a domain that you have added to your hosting account.

So yes you can do it yourself, that’s one of the reasons I authored 3 books about doing just that (Build My First Web Site, WordPress Mastery and Blogging Secrets) in the first place.   The real work that our MySmallBiz Setup A Blog Course does is to teach you how to set up and configure all the tweaks and cool stuff (the 20+ high powered ultra cool plugins we recommend) that turn your WordPress web site from a boring “Plain Jane” blog, to a full featured professional WordPress web site.

Actually installing WordPress is pretty straigth forward – we’ll do that for you if you want!   The problem is that what you get is the plainest, butt-ugly blog you’ve ever seen.  There are not themes installed, no plugins that extend the features of your site…. and that’s what we’re here to help you with. 

It would take most novice users many many hours to setup a blog properly, even if they did understand the optimal configuration for all of the tools.  

Let us Setup A Blog for you, teach you how to extend it and more importantly teach you how to earn money using it!

We are a small internet marketing savvy company built on 25 years of real life small business marketing. Letting us host and teach you how to earn money with your very own WordPress Blog means you benefit directly for our personal experiences starting, building and growing online business with the WordPress web site building software.
