What is WordPress

You will learn what is WordPress and how you can harness this popular CMS platform to make revenue online. WordPress is the most popular content management system to date that started in 2003. Simply put WordPress manages web content. The great part about this popular website building tool is that it is open source software, that is mantained by a community of users. Another reason you should choose WP is becuase those developers may come and go but the WordPress platform is owned by all of us, the community supports the developement of the platform.

Let us recap.. What is WordPress and more…

• WordPress is not owned.
• WordPress is written in the PHP coding language.
• WordPress is a website building tool.

Wordpres is not for just bloggers, can not state this enough. Although the WordPress main goal was for a blogging platform it has become an easy to use website building tool. So if you are interested in building a website in under a few minutes this platform is for you.  I have been building WP websites for over 5 years and have come to master this site creation tool.

Get Traffic with WordPress

As I stated before you can use WordPress to generate a residual income online. As the old saying goes ” Content is King”. The more content you offer to your visitors the greater chance they will click your money generating advertisments. All you do is create a Google adsense account then tie those advertisments to each and every post, then within a few years or less you start generating a continous income.

Here is a look at the amount of traffic I get with WordPress on a daily basis… the great part about this is the only money I have spent is on web hosting fees for only a few dollars a month. The content is written and owned by me. Imagine taking 10 minutes a day to write a imple post about something you love in life, this is what is called a niche.

After you target your niche based on your interests, start publishing a post every day. Soon you will have hundreds of articles to monetize with well placed advertisments that your visitors benefit from. Even if you did not want to go the advertisment route you can create your own digital products. Write you own 25-50 page ebook on your expierences and sell it for cheap.
