milliondollarmaybe - the blog

Since my last post, and with a healthy dollop of fresh enthusiasm courtesy of Kirst McCubbin (www.affiliatestuff.co.uk), I have set to work on building a site template to start off my new affiliate marketing empire.  And rather than using the content management software (CMS) that I normally use, I thought I’d have a bash at adapting Wordpress to turn it into a CMS.  After all everyone who’s anyone in the IM field will tell you how important blogs are to search engines etc.

I was so inspired by those clever folks over at www.revolutiontheme.com that I set to work in earnest on Monday just gone.  Two days later I’m still no where near finished my ’theme’ but I’ve learnt so much about how Wordpress actually works (…I’ve still got loads more to learn).

From ‘widgets’ to ‘themes’ to ‘plugins’ I was amazed at how much stuff this platform has to offer, and how much free info there is out there. My plan is to get a template up and running and then adapt it for different sites for different products…nothing to do with IM of course!

I am fortunate in as far as I have some web developement skills but even if I didn’t have, Wordpress is really simple to use and even if you were a total beginner, with just a little bit of learning, you can have your own website up and running in no time. Now I know this will be old news to many but to anyone who has never put up a site before this software is a must.

As for me, when the sites are up I shall post the URL’s on this blog to show what can be achieved.
