FAQs

I often see two frequently asked questions about blogging:

Who can blog?
How do I start?

Here's my unabashed answer - click here.

A couple other things, while they're on my mind.

First up, I'm re-tooling my super-popular "Ultimate Guide to WordPress" course. It'll come out shortly after WordPress 5.0 is released (week of Thanksgiving).

Second, I created a super-cool spreadsheet you can use to assist your blogging.

I'll be putting it up on the site in a couple of days.

Interesting story behind it. I was creating a bunch of posts for a client. These posts were based off some already-published YouTube videos.

I made a nifty "embed" field that "writes out" the YouTube embed code so that you don't have to fidget with every single YouTube video you want to post. Plus, it contains a title field and the tags "field."

You just copy from Excel into your blog post editor and viola!

Then, of course, your write your post as normal and publish.

It makes planning blog posts so much easier than doing them one at a time.

I've found using YouTube videos embedded in your blog posts to be especially effective at driving organic traffic to a site.

You may want to try it. And keep an eye out for my email with the Excel. It's pretty cool.

See you next time.
