Three WordPress Things I Like to Pass On: Years ago, I published a WordPress video course that is no longer available, and I discovered the joy of teaching others (the courses in this case) what I knew about WordPress, and lo and behold, I succeeded.
It came effortlessly to me, and I even enjoyed it.
They learnt new things and solved their management problems on the site, which made me extremely happy because these are the things I want to share about WordPress.
You can do it, too.
Thinking you’re not made out for WordPress is a limiting belief. You can do anything very well, especially if you put aside the notion that limits you and start thinking, “Okay, I can do it!” Take one step at a time and I can do it. You are already 80% done.
Putting your hands on it is better (for you).
The only way to learn how to use WordPress is to get your hands dirty, roll up your sleeves, and get started. I’ll show you step by step how to perform that method or insert that plugin, for example, but you must put it into practice to determine what is clear to you.
It appears mundane and obvious, yet it is not. As with any things or classes we take, if we do not put what we learn into practice, nothing will change and we will always be at the same spot, with less money in our pockets.
What I can and would want to advise you is that you should not participate in the course and then become, especially at the start, a laborer on your site.
Being self-assured on a site might make you feel like a queen.
There is no greater sense of well-being than feeling competent and independent on your site. You always know where to place your hands, when to make modifications, and that there are shortcuts to complete that task in a short period of time, so optimizing time.
For example, run over the steps you need to follow in your thoughts, choose the simplest and most effective way, and as if by magic You can create the sales page for your new product that you’ve been wanting to offer for months, and you may already have scheduled the next two blog entries for the following month.
Isn’t that the most stunning thing in the world?
I must admit something to you: I despised WordPress.
I must confess something else to you. Years ago, when I had to choose between continuing to create websites with HTML + CSS + PHP and starting again with WordPress, I selected the first option since I disliked WordPress. Not at all!
And now I love him! I swear! I would never have told the world.
What happened between then and now? I learnt how to use it. This was the difference that turned me from disliking WordPress to appreciating it so much.
Where are you now? Do you dislike it or love it?
If you want to start loving him more, I can help you do so.
