The joy of you
By Rafel Athens
If you were heaven I would be hell
If you had a secret I couldn't tell
If you were brightness I would be dull
If you were a desert I'd shiver with cold
If you were honest I would tell lies
If you were a spider I'd be a fly
If you were the richest I would be poor
If you were peace I'd be a war
If you were goodness I would be bad
If you made me happy I'd make you sad
If you were a queen I'd be a pawn
If you were a flower I'd be a thorn
If you were pure I would be pain
If you were sunshine I would be rain
If you were someone I'd just be me
If you were a prison I would be free
Creavtive Web Biz Kit
By Adrian
I get asked a lot of questions about setting
up a wordpress site and found this website that can really
answer them all.
Get the professional web site you need to launch your business into the Internet!
Ready to rock?
You are an artist, crafter, photographer, designer, musician, cook, clown or otherwise creative entrepreneur and would love to finally get a professional site with your own domain name.
That´s great! A web site is a wonderful tool to help you share your talents and gifts with the world!You are more than ready to start building a biz around your talents and gifts. You want to make a living while doing what you love, what you care for and what is important to you.
Congrats to that! The world needs your dedication, your input and your love. We want to hear your voice, see your art, help with your cause!.So what’s the hold up?
It’s not that you don’t want to launch a site….
You know you need one to get your creative work out because it will help you find the people that are really interested in what you do and because it will help you become location independent, so you can travel the world or just work from home in your pajamas.
The problem is that you simply don’t know how to go about it. All that tech stuff is just way over your head and and you wouldn’t even know what to begin with. It seems the learning curve is so steep, it will take you weeks or even months to learn all the basics.
You could of course hire a web designer and have him make a
website for you, but you
simply don’t have the money to do that. Plus, you really
want to be in control of your own site and not
be dependent on someone for simply inserting an image or adding a
line of text.
.
Here is what I can help you with:
- Instructions on how to get an account with a web host (or how to rent online property to build your site on). The hosting company I recommend is officially recommended by the WordPress team and costs 7$ a month, free domain name included, payable one year in advance. This money goes to the web host for their services, not to me (this is also true if you use a discount code).
- Installation of the WordPress software on your new web host account (If you already have hosting, I will charge 44 Euros extra because I won’t get the hosting affiliate commission that subsidizes the normal price( same goes for discount codes).
-
Installation of 10
themes (designs/templates), all created with artists,
designers, and other creative entrepreneurs with highly visual
content in mind.
-
Installation of 5
plugins (add-ons/apps) which will help you expand the
functionality of your site to attract visitors through Google,
present your images in a nice way, get statistics on your
visitors. integrate ‘share and ‘like’ buttons,
etc.
- A 3 week ecourse to teach you the basics of WordPress , how to integrate it with Twitter and Facebook and how to sell your creations or creative services directly from your website.
.
P.S. Remember, the Creative Web Biz Kit includes a WordPress website set-up plus an e-course that will enable you to design it and make changes to the site any time you’d like, in any way you’d like and to then build it into the foundation of your creative online biz. If you’re not the independent type who likes to be in control of their own biz, the Kit might not be for you!
If you are passionate about what you do and are willing to make it happen no matter what, this might just be the start to earning a living with doing what you love!
