Are you ready to create a Wordpress website in 7 Days or Less? This report is broken up
into seven pieces that you can do all at once or over the course of seven days. There is no
reason why you can't go from complete beginner to website owner in very short time, even
if you've never built a website in your life!
I've been told time and time again that I make things easy to understand and easy to take
action on. I hope you'll find this true as you go through this program set up for you.
A bit of background first on what exactly Wordpress is:
Wordpress is a piece of software. It's a program that allows you to set up a website on the
internet. It's completely free.
It works like this: You sign up for a hosting account and install Wordpress with an easyinstall
through the host. This process literally takes minutes and then you can customize
your brand new site!
The only thing you need to pay for is hosting and you can get that at a very affordable rate –
less than $10 per month. In this report I'll make the hosting component real easy on you
and recommend the hosting company I've personally used to build my growing businesses
and that I've built sites for clients on as well.
Just to clarify the difference in this report we are talking about using Wordpress.org and
NOT Wordpress.com. Wordpress.com is for blogs only, Wordpress.org is for blog and
websites that you host on your own domain. Very important distinction there.
If you want more information on Wordpress go to the main site Wordpress.org. There you
will find all kinds of documentation on how the software works as well as many add-ons that
we'll get into as we go through this report.

Let's get to it with your first lesson:
Hosting Your Wordpress Website
Step 1: Finding a host for your Wordpress Website
I'm going to recommend only one host to you. There are hundreds out there but this is the
one I have used for years and their hosting and customer service is excellent. Of course
feel free to look around or if you're ready to just get going you can take my recommendation
below.
Sign up for your hosting at Bluehost:

Here's what you need to know about choosing any host if you want
to install Wordpress:
- Host needs to have cpanel
- Host needs to have wordpress one-click install through Fantastico
or Simple Scripts
- Multiple Domain name hosting is ideal (because once you've got the
bug you'll want to make more than one website!)
Ok, so you've got your host. Next you need to follow these steps:
1. Log into your control panel. It should be located at:
http://www.yourdomain.com/cpanel or with Bluehost you can simply log in at Bluehost.com
2. Scroll to the Software/Services tab and click on Simple Scripts, it looks like this:
Note: If you use another host you may need to use Fantastico instead. Please check with
your hosting company for the details on how to do a quick install.
3. Choose Wordpress under Blogs to install, click install, choose your blog location, agree to
the terms and conditions and then click 'Complete'

4. Congrats! You've got yourself a wordpress installation.
After you install your Wordpress site you'll need to log in to go any
further. Your login will be given to you upon installation – make sure
you save it for later. Then, whenever you want to edit your website
you will need to basically log into it and start working in Wordpress.
Now, before you go too much further I recommend you take at least
an hour or two to PLAY with your new software. Click around, look
around, create a post, make a page, see if you can make a link or
upload an image. All these things are possible and so much more.
In fact, there are so many things you can do I won't talk about them
all in this report as I don't want to overwhelm you.
But – I also don't want to underwhelm you! I want you to understand
how powerful and fantastic the program you just installed really is!
To help you along, let's do a quick overview of the different sections
of Wordpress:
The image you see to the left is on the left side of every page inside
your wordpress dashboard. If you click on any of the words you see
in the image you'll get a drop-down menu with more options...
