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:
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:
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.
This is your link to signup for your Free Blog (this link has expired)
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.
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.

Quality content Sean, keep up the good work,
We appreciate your efforts
You’re welcome, Romelio
See you back here soon
Sean
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.
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.
.-= Dragon´s last blog ..How To Use Google Reader =-.
Haha. Dragon. Who let you in?
I found the secret code
so what is a bloger and how can this help,is this like a form of web page
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.
.-= Dragon´s last blog ..How To Use Google Reader =-.
Its great learning about Google Adsense – especially if we can make something out of it!
Can’t wait for the next vid.
Thanks Sean.
.-= Cemil´s last blog ..Anti Spyware =-.
I will put a video in here so you can add Google Adsense to your blog easily.
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.
.-= Cemil´s last blog ..Anti Spyware =-.
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?
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.
.-= Dragon´s last blog ..How To Use Google Reader =-.
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.
Yes, Terry. You can change the name but not the URL (the domain name).
It is in “Settings” > “General” on the video.
Hi sean
i to am having trouble downloading your ebook leaked version,what i have watch is very inspiring, i to have been dabeling with this internet marketing and selling on the internet but havent made anything from it yet but still trying i want give up,i might just need to be put in the right direction.but in my experences with all this is that somewhere along the line there is a catch or you have to hand out money to get to the next level,i am watching all your emails and i hope i am proven wrong that there is no catch, i eagerly await the next video to get the follow up.

Hi Wayne, if you would like to contact the office during business hours, remembering we are in Western Australia, on 08 9791 6600 or email simon[at]uwc.me and we will arrange a copy to be emailed to you.
Thanks for you generous offer to donate the money of your first sale to charity.
.-= Dragon´s last blog ..How To Use Google Reader =-.
Hi Wayne
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!
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.
Sean, I must say what great content you have been presenting for all the newbies and so called experienced people.
Keep the videos coming, they are worth there weight in Gold
Many Thanks NeilB
Thank you, Neil
I’ll produce more Gold for you soon.
Thanks for the info. made simple & easy to apply. Please update me, how I can place google adsense on my blog..
Thanks – Raj
.-= Raj´s last blog ..Jul 22, My Celebrity Look alikes..! =-.
Hi Raj
I am making a Google Adsense video to put here on the blog for you to follow. I have a few other ones to slip in there first though. Soon enough, it will be here.
Hi Sean,
Great vidios. Thank you so much for all the content and free lessons.
I really appreciate what you do.
Thanks again
Krystian
Thanks, Krystian
I appreciate you thanking me. And thanks for watching the video’s!
Sean,
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
Hi 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
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 Suresh
I will leave the video’s here mate. Enjoy!
I have your affiliate link here.
http://www.webvision2020.com/2020/sureshmistry/yota
The salespage for YOTA will be open Tuesday 12 Noon EST
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.
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 Sean
Great stuff.
I see you include on your platform the SEO Traffic generating plugin. I have just started using it.
Regards
Graeme
Hi Graeme
There are some great plugins. Have fun!
Get stuff Sean, your videos are great information for anyone.
Your knowledge and experience will be much appreciated.
Thank you Troy Grosser
You’re welcome, Troy.
Have fun!
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.
Sure mate. I will consider doing that. Let me ponder on it for a few days and I’ll see what I can do.
Er… My hubby has a program that can rip videos from anywhere, if that helps!
Sorry Sean!
Rachael
Hi Sean
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?
Regards
Graeme
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!
Hey Sean,
A good video & I like the addition of the tutorial videos, it’s all staring to make sense…
Now I’m going to have a play with my new blogger site.
Thanks Sean
Cheers, Peter
Good luck with your blogger site.
how di i change the header that i uploaded back to the original name that was sellected
Hi Wayne, if you go to where you did change the header in the first place under “Appearance> Custom Image Header” in the sidebar, there is an option to restore original header.
Hi, Sean
Thanks for the blogs video, and it is very clear. I especially like your video about classified ads without a website. That’s a really great way to promote different products.
Looking forward to more of your videos. Great Job !! Have a nice Day !
Best wishes
JUN LI, Sydney
.-= JUN LI´s last blog ..The New Rich Report Is Easy To Use =-.
Hi Jun Li
Thank you. More video’s are coming very soon.
Hello Sean, Excellent information and all for free!
I guess I’ve missed the boat as far as signing up for a UWC Blog as I don’t get an option to add my details when I click on the link under the video?
Did you close sign up option already?
Thanks for the info anyway much appreciated.I’ll try and setup a blog direct with WordPress.
Cheers,
Kevin
Hi Kevin.
It still works. Try the link again. I won’t turn it off for a while.
Hi Sean, did you remove the videos? I wanted to re-watch it and it only says “This text will be replaced” where the video used to be ?!?
Hello Renee,
The videos are still there, try refreshing your page.
Sean
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
Regards
Maryanne
Hello Maryanne,
Have you tried refreshing the page? Let me know if it still isn’t working.
Enjoy the videos!
Sean
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.
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.
Sean
Hi Sean,
I started my first blog with your uwcblog – quesiton: the google adds that show up on the blog already, how do I profit from them? or what do I have to do/change to profit from them being on my blog?
Tks – and looking forward for all the other videos you are making
.-= Renee´s last blog ..what is WELLNESS? =-.
Hi Renee
Next week, I am showing you how to do it. There will be a video explaining it.
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,
Tom
.-= Tom´s last blog ..Playing around with Affiliate Marketing =-.
Hey Sean,
I am totally overwhelmed. The videos are priceless to a newbie like me. No longer sceptical. Grea tuff can’t wait to get results. It is all new and looking forward to next videos. Must confess am a bit nervous about it but excited. Thank you for your fantastic gift,and generosity.
You’re welcome, Becs
Have fun and enjoy!
Awsome content Sean getting my Blog up and running now.
Julian
Great news, Julian
Hi Sean,
All of the videos are offline, accordingly. When is it going to be on line again? I want to watch them as I have not seen them before due to my computer’s audio problem. I enrolled in the webinar but only got through by phone and only for a few minutes as I was cut off, too. Anyway goodluck to all the people who were lucky enough to watch your videos and attended the webinar.
Hi Mariano
The video’s are online. Maybe it was a busy day online that day.
Good luck
This is unbelievable. There is a whole new world opening up before my very eyes. I have to admit to being a little overawed, but the proof is right here. All I need to do now is take that first tentative step…..
Hi Sean I have had you in my facebook friends for a long time now and i havnt really been that interested until now…. they sey that when the student is ready the techer will appear. Anyway just been watching your videos and have just set up my blog and up to the next step… There is so much to learn. I find it fascinating though and just wanted to say thanks for your free videos. Cheers!
Hi Wendy
Enjoy the video’s and happy blogging!
Hello Sean thanks for all the video they do help.
Now I have got my firs blog just about all done
now about widgets not to sure what to put in to
my blog and how to get them to work
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!
Sean thank you for the two video setting up your free blog still lots to
learn will there be a follow up video.
.-= Michael´s last blog ..Free Emoticons For You =-.
Hi Michael,
For now there are no follow up videos planned, but you never know what the future holds. I have had a look at your blog, and your next task would be to add some content. Alternatively, if you choose to purchase the full version of Year Of The Affiliate, for a limited time you will also gain 1 months free access to my internet marketing forum that contains loads of videos, information and strategies to help you become a seasoned internet marketer.
Brand new to this. I noticed the time frame you encountered to become successful in replacing your income and how long it may have taken working on this full time. I’m unemployed. How quickly might I make this work and replace what I USED to make? I invite you to watch should you be interested. Being from New York, I’ld like to be able to look back at this as a “New York Minute”. Currently, I’m looking for that “ladder” to climb in affiliate marketing.
Hi Fred,
Your question is not something that can be answered easily. People learn and apply information at different rates, some people learn quickly and take action on what they learn (and also focus on the job at hand). It can take others longer to grasp the techniques and they may fail to focus or take action. What I can say with confidence, is that the system does work and if you are prepared to put in time and effort, there is no reason it cannot work for you. The amount of time it will take you to replace your income lies with one person…you
Thank you Sean,
I expect to have to work at it, I didn’t learn my former jobs in one go. Garage door installer and Wastewater Treatment Plant Operator and rebuilder. I spent a total of 26 years doing that. I’m ready to build what I couldn’t the past 26 years. Wastewater plants work 24/7, so do garage doors. Why can’t my income do the same.
The word “can’t” doesn’t form part of my vocabulary Fred
If you want something bad enough, and you are prepared to put in the time, effort and dedication required to make it happen, there is no reason you cannot achieve your goals.
Interresting Content, getting kind of back to the Basics good work
.-= George´s last blog ..The Golden Ticket License Is comming =-.
Nothing like starting with the basics George! Glad you enjoyed it
Hi Sean,
In my search for affiliate marketing help (just getting info—know very little yet) I found your great help. I am getting so much out of the info you give for FREE. Thank you so much!
I am wondering what the “leaked” version of the book is. I see reference to it but do not even know what book is or what a leaked version is. I will keep reading and learning.
Thanks again,
Dee
Great to hear you are benefiting from the information Dee, it’s my pleasure
You can check out the leaked (free) version of my book here: YOTA Leaked Version enjoy
Thank you for your gift of sharing. I’ve been inspired, and motivaded in succeding be coming an affiliate marketer. I Thank God For you and am anxious to learn from you, that I. also would be able to give back. For in giving, you shall receive. I learned today that I will face some obstrutions along the way but learn how to may the big ones turn in to little ones quickly.
Hi Sean,
This is a another great video. I had no idea how to set up a blog when I first started. You really make this daunting process easy for all of us beginners.
I have only ever used WordPress for my blogs. Is there any benefit to using Blogger though since Google owns it? Would a Blogger blog get any more Google love than my WordPress ones?
.-= Jazz Salinger´s last blog ..Finding Your Passion =-.
Interesting Sean, is there an average length of what the best blogs can be – i honestly get bored in some! even with pictures? Also how do we get people to the blogs so they find our affiliate links?
Keep up the good work.
.-= Nateele´s last blog ..Belly Laugh for the Day =-.
Hi Sean,
The WordPress uwcblogs are terrific. I love the step by step tutorials you have in the YOTA forum on how to set up a free blog from scratch in no time at all.
They have many plugins available and they look absolutely professional when finished. I built a blog related to a friends interest.
Although she’s a professional person she previously had nothing to advertise her topic. I thoroughly enjoyed making the site/blog that she interacts with by making relevant comments and supplying info to be posted.
.-= Jill Brown´s last blog ..Couples Marry at Common Law =-.
Thanks Sean …for you valuable experience sharing. This can help people like me who doesnt have much to spend and need some extra bucks by doing internet marketing.
Can you please suggest how can I download these videos from your website so that I can make sequence of all the video and watch it again and again to have better understanding.
Also please let me know how to get the products from which I can earn comm?
Once again thanks a Lot….
You are not able to download the videos Santosh, but you are quite welcome to watch them as many times as you like while on the site. This article will give you some ideas for affiliate products http://yearoftheaffiliate.com/video/best-places-for-affiliate-products/
9 month on and I am so happy that I learned how to set up a free website (and much more) by joining YOTA – thanks Sean
.-= Renee´s last blog ..Self Improvement Books – What Are Your Favourites =-.
Hi Sean
I recently saw your presentation at the Brisbane UA marketing event which I thoroughly enjoyed.
Since then I found your videos & have found them a great prompt for further action. You have made the suggestion that it is possible to develop a significant monthly income within the course of a year, what is necessary to achieve this goal?
What kind of skills, expereince, tools, support, etc would you recommend?
I have been involved in traditional, service based small business but the flexibility of working from home & controlling my income is attractive.
At this point I would like to be able to put a plan together to move from where I am now to replacing my income with internet marketing.
What would you sugget to me?
Thanks
Terry
Hi Terry
It is certainly possible to achieve success within a 12 month period. The level of that success could be determined by many things, some of which would be:
Commitment to learn
How much time you can allocate to learning
Taking action on what you learn
Having access to the right training and support
I have a program that provides all you are likely to need as far as training and support goes. It’s what you do with that training and support that will determine your level of success
You can take a look at my program here if you wish to find out further information
