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!

Creative Web Biz Kit

.

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).
Saves you the time to find a web host that fulfills  the requirements for your new WordPress blog!

 

  • 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).
Saves you the trouble of  having to do all that tech stuff  yourself!

 

  • Installation of 10 themes (designs/templates), all created with artists, designers, and other creative entrepreneurs with highly visual content in mind.
So you don’t have to go hunt for one that fits your needs among the thousands of available themes (you can add more later on by yourself. You will be learning how to do that in the eCourse).

 

  • 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.
Gives you more time for what you truly love doing instead of wasting it rummaging through thousands of plugin sites across the net!

 

  • 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.


please make sure to check ‘sign-up for product updates and newsletter’ during checkout to receive the information you need to get started with the Kit!


.

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!
