How To Set Up A Free Website

by Sean Rasmussen on September 22, 2009

On this video I show you How To Set Up A Free Website. Get in on the action now. There are 3 video’s on this page so make sure to bookmark this page and come back to soak up all the knowledge you need.

First, the next part of the Darling Harbour interview with Alexi:

The video is currently offline, it'll be back shortly.

After you watch it please leave me a comment below and let me know what you learned. I will outline a few points for you below to make it much easier for you to set up your free website. Enjoy the video’s!

The 3 Blog Platforms & my platform mentioned in the video are:

  1. Blogger
  2. Blogspot (is now under the umbrella of Blogger)
  3. Wordpress
  4. UWCBlog

None of these are really better than the other. The main thing is your preference. I prefer Wordpress and that is the platform I chose for UWCBlog.

VIDEO 1: Setting Up Your Free Blog

I suppose if I’m going to show you how to set up a free website, I better give you one first. Check out this video for step by step instructions on getting started right now.

The video is currently offline, it'll be back shortly.

This is your link to signup for your Free Blog >> (this link will expire soon)

VIDEO 2: Set Up Beginners Guide

This is a short set up guide for your new Free Blog. Please watch this video as many times as it takes to learn. I will leave it here long enough for you to come back over the next few weeks to learn plenty.

The video is currently offline, it'll be back shortly.

From these 2 video’s you can see that it only takes 15-20 minutes to set up a blog from scratch (with practice). You can learn this as well as anyone else. Get in there and practice.

In the above video I promised you to make a tutorial for you so you can put Google Adsense in your blog, should you want to. Expect a step by step video about Google Adsense very soon.

Please jump into the comments below and give me feedback so I can help you learn affiliate marketing :)

See you soon.

Dear Sir, thank you so much for the free lecture. Our intent is a Ministry whereby a Foundation and Church organisation are involved. The sight of the scorpions on the screen gives us a double mind. We don’t know if your services are for the generality of the public of for a specific group.

However, we enjoyed ur video

Thank you

Hi Asuquo
They are Dragons, from the Chinese Zodiac. It is a business logo for Year Of the Affiliate (a play with the Bruce Lee movie: Year Of The Dragon). There is no group involved at all. Just me and myself. Thanks for enjoying the video’s.

Dragon September 22, 2009 at 10:08 pm

Did someone say Dragon? Hi Asuquo, I am one of the moderators from the Year of the Affiliate forum which Sean has founded. I think you may like this picture of me better than the ones on the cover of the book. Glad you enjoyed the video’s.

Hi Wayne, yes, a blogger writes a blog pretty much like this one here. Generally you begin with text and once you learn how to, you can add images and video’s like Sean has done here.

Hi again Sean,

Just wanted to check something out. We cannot use Adsense in other free blogs can we (i.e. Wordpress.com, etc)?

Is there anyway to have multiple UWCblogs using the same email address?
I would like to bring across another 2 blogs into your platform.

Hi Sean,
Excellent videos mate. Quick question: can we change the name of our blog at a later stage if we are not sure on what type of blog or topic we want to set up yet?

Reply

Dragon September 22, 2009 at 10:47 pm

Hi Terry, yes you can change the name of your blog at anytime remembering though that the URL will not change with it. You might consider using your name perhaps and work with that for whichever topic you wish to write about.

Hi Terry K,
If you re watch the video above ie VIDEO 2: Set Up Beginners Guide , at the 58sec mark Sean shows you how to change the name of the blog. Very easy to do.

Reply

Sean Rasmussen September 23, 2009 at 7:43 am

Yes, Terry. You can change the name but not the URL (the domain name).
It is in “Settings” > “General” on the video.

Follow the instructions and read the book I gave you. Watch the video’s and watch them as many times as you need to learn the strategies. Your first sales will come when you are ready.
Good luck!

Jamie Wiltshire September 22, 2009 at 10:50 pm

Mate all this gear you are giving us for free is almost too good to be true. I’m working through all of it now. I guess we will all have to reward you by doing the strategies and then showing you what we have achieved with all of this. I’m telling the guy’s at work about the leaked version and although there is a fair bit of disbelief they all want a copy. Kind regards

Hi Jamie
That reminds me of my days in the workforce. The skeptics said: “That Sean-Guy, he will either be very rich or very broke!”. The open minded ones grabbed the information, took it, learned it and produced results. The rest are still at their old J.O.B. ;)

Absolutely outstanding. I joined YOTA some months ago but did not use the fantastic information you gave me. Now, after going through the videos and setting up my own free web site http://www.earleyintervention.uwcblog.com
I have overcome my fear and trepidation (dumb baby boomer is scared of unknown internet stuff!!!). I am now inspired to get stuck in and use these great tools. Thank you. Regards, Jim

You’re started. Now check out my video that shows you how to change the theme and header of your blog.
Coming along nicely mate :)

Suresh September 23, 2009 at 9:20 am

Hi Sean,
Still working through the ebook, but the videos are fantastic. They help to confirm, what I’m doing or have done is correct. Mate, thanks so much.
By the way, are you going to remove these videos once the completed version of the book is released, since there are videos in the book??? I hope not.
Also, I applied to become an affiliate for YOTA but haven’t received any communication from you. I’m travelling overseas for 5 weeks within the next 2 weeks and wanted to get the website and affiliate products set up before I go. I especially wanted the YOTA affiliate link setup because I believe it’s going to sell like hotcakes!!!
Please can you let me know what’s happening with my application. Thanks.
You’ll be the first to know if I’ve made money when I return in Nov.

Good luck with the launch…Suresh.

Hi Sean,
I’ve create the website but now need to populate it with content and links. I’ve tried to use the affiliate support link to get the following questions answered but an error occurs, so not sure if it’s fully functional yet. Anyway, hope you can answer them here:

(i) Where do I copy & paste the html code for the banners, available in Promo Tools?
(ii) Do I have to cloak the link within the html code, or is it not visible?
(iii) In my affiliate account, the 2 links are not listed for reports. When will this be set up?
(iv) In addition to earning comms for book sales through the links provided, is there an affiliate program for referrals to your website ie comms earned for when visitors sign up?

To help me with content for the website, will you be covering article / blog writing in your videos? My greatest need at the moment is inserting banners and links into the website for different products. Hope you can help soon.
Thanks,
Suresh.

Sean Rasmussen September 24, 2009 at 11:05 pm

Hi Suresh
(i) I am currently changing over the banners etc to suit YOTA for the release.
(ii) No need to cloak the link if it is in the HTML code in a blogpost.
(iii) I believe that is working. You need to have the link clicked on atleast once for the report to work. This is the link:
http://www.webvision2020.com/admin/affiliates/reports/link
(iv) For now, there is only comms on the book.

Hi All.
I thought I’d better place an initial after my name to avoid confusion.
We Seans are as becoming as common as blue heelers and baggy green caps.
I’ve been finding the videos great. But, because I live in a region of Oz that does not support any form of fast internet connection other then satellite which gives me a download speed not much faster then dial up.. I’m finding them very difficult to watch, as each 3-5 minute video is taking up to 30 mins to load.
Therefore I have to ask whether future videos after launch will be in a downloadable format that can be saved to a hard drive for viewing later.

Reply

Sean Rasmussen September 23, 2009 at 12:32 pm

Sure mate. I will consider doing that. Let me ponder on it for a few days and I’ll see what I can do.

What of the plugins would you recommend? And will you be showing how to insert links in posts etc?

Your blog platform is definitely miles ahead of any other one I have seen.
Appreciate all the free content.

By the way do you offer coaching or mentoring?

Sean Rasmussen September 23, 2009 at 12:57 pm

Hi Graeme
I will be making a video to teach posting articles in the blog. So, yes. You will learn to do links, pictures and video’s.
I do coach and mentor people for internet marketing but am not promoting it here. People can learn heaps from the book and video’s I provide.
Enjoy!

Hi Sean

Just went in to look at your latest video release, NO5 on setting up a free web site, but all I get is a line saying this text will be replaced, rather than the video link. Have been really enjoying the videos. I am learning a lot, still letting fear/procrastination stop me from putting it all into practise but I am sure I will get over that eventually. I usually do.

Hope to see the video soon

Hi, Sean,

I guess you may not be viewing this page anymore as you are busy preparing the launch of your new YOTA. However, I am now concerned using wordpress for affiliate programmes is not allowed.

And here are some examples of blogs that are banned from WordPress.com (all of these fall under the general heading of “spam blogs”, or splogs, and will be deleted as soon as we find them or they get reported):
* Affiliate marketing blogs: Blogs with the primary purpose of driving traffic to affiliate programs and get-rich-quick schemes (”Make six figures from home!!”, “20 easy steps to top profits!!”, etc). This includes multi-level marketing (MLM) blogs and pyramid schemes.

Reply

Sean Rasmussen September 27, 2009 at 1:05 pm

Hello Tess,
Yes there are affiliate marketers that purely use spam techniques in creating free blogs without creating any real value. However, if you are using these free services to promote products while still creating value to your readers, they have no reason to ban your site. That is unless you break one of their other rules.

Hi Sean,

Looking forward to the next blog video – set my free uwcblog up last night! Also looking forward to the webinar that kicks off shortly.

One question I did have with the uwcblog is how I access the Wordpress.com stats plugin. I get prompted to enter in an API key (whatever that means). The link in the admin section of my blog just takes me to http://en.wordpress.com/profile/). The Wordpress.com help pages seem to indicate that these get handed out on registration. I just want to see if I have had anyone visit as yet (I know I checked out a couple of others’ uwc blogs before starting mine).

Thanks for getting me started!

Cheers,

Reply

Sean Rasmussen February 19, 2010 at 4:45 pm

Hi Michael
The best thing to do, is experiment. Take a look at other blogs you like online and see what type of widgets they are using, you may choose to use some of those yourself. Once you do have some widgets set up, you will find most of them are self explanatory and quite simple to use. If you have trouble, do a Google search for the widget and I am sure you will find plenty of information. Good luck mate!
