WordPress Themes and Templates

Actually, all the things you need are close enough to free that even the poorest in America can have what they need. In fact, look at this blog, the entire content management system was free to us.

WordPress is your friend
No one really needs more than a good WordPress blog to make money online. You do not need a fancy shopping cart or e commerce system unless you are the type of company selling thousands of small products. For everyone else using PayPal or Google Checkout is all that is needed to collect money for your products, services, or ideas. If you want to sell other website’s products then join a reputable affiliate marketing website like Commission Junction, Link Share or the Hydra Network. All you need is a bank account for them to put your commissions in.
WordPress templates are good enough for anyone
WordPress has over fifty thousand template designs. There is no shortage of designs that could fit your style or personality. Don’t fall for the prideful mistake of thinking having a totally original design will make you money. Many design companies promote that idea. The truth is, after many years blogging and building internet sites from scratch we have realized that the chances of a competitor having the same template as you is nearly impossible. The likely hood of losing a customer due to them noticing that your design is similar to some other site they have seen is practically zero.
Choose the right web hosting company
The cool thing is many hosting companies have a one click install for WordPress. Choosing a good hosting company is your most important choice when you get started. Google around and find out if there are bloggers complaining about them and research what problems may come around if you choose them. Many hosting companies want you to install there “do it yourself” style website templates. Don’t do it! Just insist that they install WordPress or allow you to install it. There are zillions of tutorials online to assist you if you have to install it manually.
