[Journey] First time creating a blog - Goooo glasses..

[Iwearglasses]

Hello fellow Blackhatters,

What I have done so far.

Created a functional website that is about coding. Topics are HTML,CSS,PHP, Python, JavaScript, and MySQL.

The website is custom built with Wordpress added. I built it with eCommerce in mind. Components are a custom admin dashboard, custom eCommerce section, custom blog(my spin on a blog concept),the ability to scrape content, and added Wordpress. It took me about 6 months to put all the components together. Have added to Google Console.

Will monetize by selling packages which will include the eCommerce I built, other coding snippets, and video courses.

Have created an Instagram account. Will create a YouTube channel and will attempt to add 2 blogs a week once the whole website has been tested to be fully functional.

On off time I will study more on SEO and back linking tools.

Created a script to scrape the internal components of the site. This allows wordpress post to automatically post to the homepage.

Added the plugin “The Seo Framework to Wordpress”.

Revamped Frontend design for Wordpress.

• Plan to create a search function that combines the wordpress search with the main site search.

2/4 Added a section on the home page for selling web design services. Have 3 tier packages.

Created a first post to the blog on how to create a contact form using PHP. Currently updating post as the posting was very short.

Revised the homepage and added a call to action.

How are you going to do the marketing of this site as you are selling packages there?

On the site itself I will place a couple of online ads,have a subscribers’ form for ebooks, and maybe some amazon affiliate links.

I will be doing custom Wordpress sites, Web designs packages that have 3 tiers (3 pages, 5 pages, and 10 pages or more). I have already built some PHP packages I plan to sell there which include a custom Ecommerce website I made, PHP forms, and etc. Will add a section where there is a call to action to get people to guest post on the site as well..

I am going to do maybe 10 Youtube videos to start me off as well that will help drive traffic to the site.

Just pacing myself so I will not get burned out early.

Stay motivated and keep us updated.

Thanks for the encouragement and will do.
