1 00:00:00,090 --> 00:00:04,170 Hey, one here, welcome to this WordPress tutorial for beginners. 2 00:00:04,260 --> 00:00:10,500 I'm going to walk you through step by step how to set up a WordPress website and how to navigate through 3 00:00:10,500 --> 00:00:13,230 all the different buttons and features that it comes with. 4 00:00:13,260 --> 00:00:17,010 So the first thing that you're going to need here is a domain. 5 00:00:17,010 --> 00:00:23,040 OK, so you need to purchase a website domain that is going to be suited for you and your business. 6 00:00:23,250 --> 00:00:29,430 Or if you're looking to set up a website for maybe a blog, whatever that may be, you need to purchase 7 00:00:29,430 --> 00:00:33,310 a domain is going to cost anywhere between eight to ten dollars. 8 00:00:33,630 --> 00:00:38,910 I highly recommend that you get a dotcom type of domain and then the next thing you're going to need 9 00:00:38,910 --> 00:00:39,730 is hosting. 10 00:00:39,750 --> 00:00:44,060 So this is essentially where you are hosting your domain. 11 00:00:44,070 --> 00:00:50,460 So you have your domain, which is your website, Dotcom, and then it needs to get hosted on a server 12 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:57,630 so that when somebody goes and types in that domain on their browser, you're actually going to be able 13 00:00:57,630 --> 00:01:00,940 to pull up because your site's hosted on a server. 14 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:05,430 So the next thing you're going to need is a SSL certificate. 15 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:07,560 So this is essentially up here. 16 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:12,380 How you see it is with a lock and it has the HTP s. 17 00:01:12,690 --> 00:01:15,210 That's what the SSL certificate is. 18 00:01:15,210 --> 00:01:22,140 It provides security on your website and it allows users to come in there and feel safe and secure and 19 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:29,340 an extra layer of protection, because if you do not have https or you don't have an SSL certificate, 20 00:01:29,610 --> 00:01:35,110 what's going to happen is it's just going to be up here http and there's going to say not secure. 21 00:01:35,130 --> 00:01:37,530 So not something that I would recommend. 22 00:01:37,530 --> 00:01:41,210 I highly recommend that you set that up with an SSL certificate. 23 00:01:41,460 --> 00:01:43,530 I believe it's nine dollars a year. 24 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:44,900 Very inexpensive. 25 00:01:45,030 --> 00:01:50,790 And I'm going to leave some links down at the bottom of this video where you can purchase a domain hosting 26 00:01:50,790 --> 00:01:55,250 an SSL certificate through name cheap, very, very inexpensive. 27 00:01:55,560 --> 00:02:01,110 And so, obviously, number four, you're going to need WordPress, which is the number one CMS, which 28 00:02:01,110 --> 00:02:04,680 is content management system out there in the market. 29 00:02:04,830 --> 00:02:08,500 Super simple, super easy to set up and navigate through. 30 00:02:08,670 --> 00:02:12,990 I'm going to walk you through exactly how to set everything up, how to use all the different features 31 00:02:12,990 --> 00:02:13,730 and functions. 32 00:02:14,070 --> 00:02:17,280 And then finally, number five, we have the plugins. 33 00:02:17,970 --> 00:02:25,590 So the plug ins are essentially an extra added component to the WordPress platform where you can download 34 00:02:25,590 --> 00:02:30,900 different plug ins and essentially unlock different features, different functionalities, different 35 00:02:30,900 --> 00:02:33,030 types of themes, templates. 36 00:02:33,150 --> 00:02:35,200 And I'm going to walk you through all that here shortly. 37 00:02:35,220 --> 00:02:38,400 So, number one, we're going to need to purchase a domain. 38 00:02:38,700 --> 00:02:40,200 So we're here on name cheap. 39 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,230 And I love name cheap, very, very inexpensive. 40 00:02:43,740 --> 00:02:46,470 Looks like we can get domain's here for Eighty-eight. 41 00:02:46,830 --> 00:02:53,000 So let's type in, let's say, for a local business and say I was trying to do a yoga business of yoga. 42 00:02:54,630 --> 00:02:58,670 Let's say yoga are us nice and simple. 43 00:03:00,810 --> 00:03:02,160 See, this domain is available. 44 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:10,290 So I would go to add to CART and then I would purchase this here through a credit card or through PayPal. 45 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:14,680 I'm not going to purchase this because we already have a domain that we're going to be working with. 46 00:03:15,030 --> 00:03:18,840 So purchase that there and then you're going to need to get hosting here. 47 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,950 OK, this is what I recommend here at the Steller Plus. 48 00:03:23,250 --> 00:03:25,790 And you can pay this on an annual installment. 49 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:31,590 And so what this is doing for you here is you have a monthly or yearly type of payment plan. 50 00:03:31,890 --> 00:03:38,610 The monthly is for 88 per month, or you can pay yearly at twenty six and 40 percent. 51 00:03:39,060 --> 00:03:44,820 Now, this is a killer deal because for a whole year you get to pay twenty six dollars. 52 00:03:44,820 --> 00:03:45,060 Right. 53 00:03:45,060 --> 00:03:47,970 And forty four cents for a full year of hosting. 54 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,330 And then after that it's 50 to 288. 55 00:03:51,330 --> 00:03:53,430 So highly recommend this one here. 56 00:03:53,550 --> 00:03:58,050 I'm going to leave some links at the bottom of this video so you can go ahead and get that picked up. 57 00:03:58,770 --> 00:04:05,970 So once we purchase our domain right, we're going to go in here into the domain list once we log into 58 00:04:05,970 --> 00:04:13,500 our account and we're going to essentially set up the hosting servers and the hosting servers are going 59 00:04:13,500 --> 00:04:14,370 to be right here. 60 00:04:14,580 --> 00:04:16,560 And it's going to say name servers right there. 61 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:22,650 And all we need to do is click on name cheap web hosting DNS and then it's going to have a little check 62 00:04:22,650 --> 00:04:22,980 there. 63 00:04:23,130 --> 00:04:29,100 And it's going to essentially propagate those name servers for, you know, when you purchase hosting, 64 00:04:29,250 --> 00:04:34,740 you're going to get an email from name Cheap that has your login information to your C panel. 65 00:04:34,740 --> 00:04:40,710 And your C panel is essentially where all your data stored, essentially your server, where you can 66 00:04:40,710 --> 00:04:47,010 go in there and install WordPress and saw different features, functionalities, different domains. 67 00:04:47,130 --> 00:04:48,460 And let me go ahead and show you here. 68 00:04:49,350 --> 00:04:54,840 So this is your C panel here that you're going to get when you sign up for the hosting through name 69 00:04:54,840 --> 00:04:55,230 cheap. 70 00:04:55,470 --> 00:04:58,860 And you can see here there's a lot of different things you can do here. 71 00:04:58,860 --> 00:04:59,790 But what? 72 00:04:59,820 --> 00:05:06,510 We're going to focus on is installing WordPress, so go down here to the scripts, click on WordPress. 73 00:05:08,190 --> 00:05:15,000 And then we're going to go to custom install and we have already WordPress on this site here, so I'm 74 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:16,380 not going to set that up. 75 00:05:16,470 --> 00:05:17,340 We're going to go down here. 76 00:05:17,340 --> 00:05:23,370 We're going to name the site my yoga business, and we're going to go here. 77 00:05:24,780 --> 00:05:25,380 We. 78 00:05:27,110 --> 00:05:35,930 Are the number one yoga studio OK, and then this is a great thing here, because what we can do here 79 00:05:35,930 --> 00:05:42,740 is have our admin like one, two, three, and have our password be created here by these guys so they 80 00:05:42,740 --> 00:05:48,800 can set them up here, different types of passwords that are generated and then we can hide that right 81 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:54,290 there like this, but really just select any type of password here, copy and then hide. 82 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:59,600 OK, then we're going to go down here and whatever language you're obviously using. 83 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:04,520 But for this one here, we're going to be doing English and then you want to select the email address 84 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,200 that you want this login information sent to. 85 00:06:07,220 --> 00:06:14,300 OK, so then you would to install it, literally take 30 seconds for this to get installed and then 86 00:06:14,300 --> 00:06:18,180 you would have the login information to your email and right here on the screen. 87 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:23,640 So I'm going to go ahead and show you how it's going to look now once you install the WordPress platform. 88 00:06:23,660 --> 00:06:26,180 So this is how it's going to look on the back end. 89 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,370 It's going to be very bare bones here. 90 00:06:29,060 --> 00:06:35,060 But I want to walk you through the different things that I would do to set this up so that it's set 91 00:06:35,060 --> 00:06:41,750 up properly, so that it's set up properly, so that I have the right kind of pages and the right kind 92 00:06:41,750 --> 00:06:42,430 of structure. 93 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,180 So let me go down here. 94 00:06:44,180 --> 00:06:45,710 We're going to go to settings first. 95 00:06:45,710 --> 00:06:46,730 We're going to go to Permalink. 96 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:52,760 So one of the first things you're going to notice is when you go to the settings and permalink on a 97 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:56,480 WordPress website, it's going to have a day and name here. 98 00:06:56,510 --> 00:07:02,930 OK, now this is your URL structure, and it's really important that you set this up properly, because 99 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:08,600 if not, you're going to get posts or even pages that have the date. 100 00:07:08,630 --> 00:07:09,020 Right. 101 00:07:09,290 --> 00:07:11,120 And then they have the post title. 102 00:07:11,390 --> 00:07:12,740 Now, you don't want this. 103 00:07:12,740 --> 00:07:14,780 There's no reason why whatsoever. 104 00:07:14,780 --> 00:07:16,730 It's not doing anything for SEO. 105 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:22,640 We want to make sure that we just have the post title and we would go down here and go to post name 106 00:07:22,970 --> 00:07:24,200 and go to save changes. 107 00:07:24,230 --> 00:07:28,220 So now, any time we're making a post, we have the post name. 108 00:07:28,220 --> 00:07:31,220 They're set up properly and we don't have a date. 109 00:07:32,110 --> 00:07:36,490 OK, so we're going to go to General and we're going to set this up. 110 00:07:36,770 --> 00:07:40,540 So let's say this is for a yoga business. 111 00:07:40,550 --> 00:07:45,350 I'm just kind of begin off top of my head here and I'm in the Seattle area. 112 00:07:45,350 --> 00:08:00,920 So I would put Seattle yoga studios or studio and I would put maybe a brand name for 10x yoga. 113 00:08:01,900 --> 00:08:07,660 And then right here, no one yoga studio. 114 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:19,210 In Seattle, OK, nice and simple like this, we may set this up to be a different website, but for 115 00:08:19,210 --> 00:08:21,700 now I'm just kind of going with the yoga. 116 00:08:21,730 --> 00:08:24,600 And if we want to change that, we can at a later time. 117 00:08:25,150 --> 00:08:29,560 So go to writing here just to make sure everything looks good. 118 00:08:29,830 --> 00:08:34,300 Once we set up the pages, we're going to want to set a static page, but not right now. 119 00:08:34,540 --> 00:08:35,400 Discussions. 120 00:08:36,460 --> 00:08:43,630 This is where if you're coming in here and you want to have some really strict kind of moderations and 121 00:08:43,630 --> 00:08:47,800 things that are going on when people are actually leaving comments, you can mess with that here. 122 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,920 But honestly, it's best just to leave this how it is. 123 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,200 And we go to media down here. 124 00:08:53,410 --> 00:08:58,150 This is essentially kind of what the media is kind of set up as far as the standard. 125 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:02,040 But if you want to change this, you can I wouldn't mess with any of this. 126 00:09:02,380 --> 00:09:06,310 The only thing I would mess with here is a permalink down here in the privacy. 127 00:09:07,210 --> 00:09:08,980 You can also leave this alone. 128 00:09:08,980 --> 00:09:10,520 Don't need to change this as well. 129 00:09:10,930 --> 00:09:17,230 So let me go ahead and show you then the next thing that we would do and I would want to add a theme. 130 00:09:17,230 --> 00:09:18,450 So let's go to appearance here. 131 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:19,230 All right. 132 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:24,640 So now we're going to install a theme here, which is the expression now, instead of making this into 133 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,640 a yoga website, we're going to make this into a marketing agency. 134 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:28,600 So we have this here. 135 00:09:29,140 --> 00:09:31,060 We're going to go back down to the settings. 136 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:46,290 OK, and we're going to call this Seattle marketing agency or social media marketing agency, and then 137 00:09:46,950 --> 00:09:51,540 we can put our brand name 10x your clients. 138 00:09:52,850 --> 00:10:02,880 Number one, digital marketing company in Seattle make this nice and simple and easy for us. 139 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,940 So now let's take a look at the website here, OK? 140 00:10:07,670 --> 00:10:09,300 This is essentially what it's showing. 141 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,420 It has different sliders here that we can implement. 142 00:10:12,590 --> 00:10:13,070 All right. 143 00:10:13,070 --> 00:10:18,620 So now we're going to go to the actual theme options here, and we're going to be able to set up the 144 00:10:18,630 --> 00:10:21,110 theme here exactly how we want this to look. 145 00:10:21,590 --> 00:10:22,740 So up here. 146 00:10:22,790 --> 00:10:23,710 This is the header. 147 00:10:23,900 --> 00:10:30,790 So if we look at the theme options, the header is up here and we can change this the on or off, OK? 148 00:10:31,550 --> 00:10:37,890 And then if we want to actually have a search bar up there, we can turn it on or off, OK? 149 00:10:38,270 --> 00:10:43,560 And so there's a lot of different things that we can do here just based off of the theme settings. 150 00:10:43,820 --> 00:10:44,990 Here's a general settings. 151 00:10:44,990 --> 00:10:46,240 We want to add a logo. 152 00:10:46,730 --> 00:10:49,360 And so here are some custom code you can also set up. 153 00:10:50,210 --> 00:10:53,000 Let's see here the homepage feature. 154 00:10:53,690 --> 00:11:00,110 So this is if we want to have some additional content here, but this real simple way to be able to 155 00:11:00,110 --> 00:11:01,940 update this is go to homepage here. 156 00:11:02,180 --> 00:11:07,580 And if you want to have a different slider, image is right, easily set that up here and you can come 157 00:11:07,580 --> 00:11:11,700 down here and see how this would look on a tablet and on a cell phone. 158 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:18,890 OK, so you can easily just go in here and change all the different features here and with the blog, 159 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:23,510 the actual footer, which is down here, the very bottom. 160 00:11:24,380 --> 00:11:25,520 OK, right in here. 161 00:11:25,650 --> 00:11:27,290 I'm going to show you how to update all of that. 162 00:11:27,300 --> 00:11:28,550 So let's get out of here. 163 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:37,400 And then let's say we wanted to add like some pages for about us and then, you know, services. 164 00:11:38,260 --> 00:11:39,330 So it's all about us. 165 00:11:39,350 --> 00:11:41,840 So let's take a look at how this is going to look. 166 00:11:42,170 --> 00:11:43,820 See, it's nice and simple here. 167 00:11:43,820 --> 00:11:44,900 Super simple here. 168 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,040 OK, so we can put it in here. 169 00:11:48,050 --> 00:12:01,910 Hey, Walkden, or we are a digital marketing company based out of Seattle and we can go to Update's. 170 00:12:04,180 --> 00:12:10,540 See how this looks now with a preview changes like nice and simple here, and if we want to add some 171 00:12:10,540 --> 00:12:16,420 images in here, all we got to do is go to add media and then upload some files. 172 00:12:17,110 --> 00:12:22,450 Let's say we wanted to just add this image here. 173 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,960 I just want to show you guys here and we want to go medium. 174 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:26,590 That's fine. 175 00:12:27,340 --> 00:12:28,960 And just show you how this would look. 176 00:12:30,300 --> 00:12:31,620 So let's get a preview. 177 00:12:34,670 --> 00:12:35,550 OK, there we go. 178 00:12:36,020 --> 00:12:42,370 So I would essentially, you know, set this up so that it looks actually a lot better than this. 179 00:12:42,650 --> 00:12:45,500 And so let's say this was a picture of you. 180 00:12:45,710 --> 00:12:53,630 You could put a CEO, you know, on Galvin CEO 10x your clients. 181 00:12:55,580 --> 00:12:56,000 Right. 182 00:12:56,450 --> 00:12:58,290 And see how this looks. 183 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:04,220 So it's very simple, very easy to set this up here and we go, boom, right. 184 00:13:04,220 --> 00:13:05,300 Nice and simple there. 185 00:13:05,900 --> 00:13:12,560 Now, if you want to go and create a logo, I highly recommend you go to Canberra and you create it 186 00:13:12,560 --> 00:13:13,040 for free. 187 00:13:13,050 --> 00:13:18,230 I mean, they have a lot of different templates that you can use for free and can easily create a logo, 188 00:13:18,230 --> 00:13:19,100 nice and simple. 189 00:13:19,700 --> 00:13:22,270 So now we have the about us there. 190 00:13:22,550 --> 00:13:27,230 Now we're going to go and create another page, which is our services. 191 00:13:29,390 --> 00:13:30,650 I'm going to go to publish. 192 00:13:31,950 --> 00:13:38,610 And this is essentially where you would lay out your services, you know, let's say you do, you know, 193 00:13:39,510 --> 00:13:48,600 Facebook marketing, and then if you wanted to get, you know, an image for Facebook marketing and 194 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:56,070 then so let's say let's go Facebook, Facebook marketing image. 195 00:13:57,780 --> 00:13:58,650 So. 196 00:14:03,680 --> 00:14:07,760 OK, so we could just open this in a new time. 197 00:14:10,690 --> 00:14:12,320 And then download this image. 198 00:14:13,450 --> 00:14:14,370 OK, great. 199 00:14:15,830 --> 00:14:16,790 And then. 200 00:14:18,510 --> 00:14:19,640 Go back over here. 201 00:14:22,020 --> 00:14:25,740 Look at media upload files drag right there. 202 00:14:28,350 --> 00:14:30,180 OK, nice and simple. 203 00:14:34,660 --> 00:14:38,030 So we provide Facebook marketing. 204 00:14:38,620 --> 00:14:45,610 Again, this is just giving you a quick overview of how to set up a WordPress website, how easy it 205 00:14:45,610 --> 00:14:50,680 is to to navigate and the different types of plugins that we're going to go over here in a second as 206 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:50,980 well. 207 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:52,300 So there you go. 208 00:14:52,300 --> 00:14:56,980 If you only want to make this a little bit larger and even move this around, you can move it around. 209 00:14:57,250 --> 00:15:03,060 But let's make it a little bit larger here and we'll go to full size and go to update. 210 00:15:03,070 --> 00:15:04,180 See how this looks. 211 00:15:05,260 --> 00:15:06,310 Go to preview. 212 00:15:07,820 --> 00:15:13,940 OK, so there you go, it looks a little bit bigger, and so that's essentially how you're going to 213 00:15:13,940 --> 00:15:15,950 set up all of your different pages. 214 00:15:16,610 --> 00:15:19,640 Let me actually go up here and see how this looks. 215 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:20,510 OK, great. 216 00:15:20,510 --> 00:15:22,280 So everything comes up here at the top. 217 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,980 You see the different pages home about us and services. 218 00:15:26,300 --> 00:15:31,300 Now, let me show you where you would modify and adjust that so it would go to menus, OK? 219 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:35,330 And you would have a menu here. 220 00:15:35,330 --> 00:15:39,010 You go to create a new menu, put header menu. 221 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,960 OK, and this is already set up. 222 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:42,260 Right. 223 00:15:42,260 --> 00:15:43,530 So we don't really need that. 224 00:15:43,550 --> 00:15:50,300 So Primary Hederman this is for if you didn't have it already, automatically going to the top of the 225 00:15:50,300 --> 00:15:52,280 menu, which a lot of teams do not. 226 00:15:52,820 --> 00:15:58,460 So we're going to go to a primary header menu, OK, and then we're going to add two different pages 227 00:15:58,460 --> 00:15:58,730 here. 228 00:16:00,750 --> 00:16:09,900 OK, we don't need the home page or we can just put home OK, and then I'd move this up here. 229 00:16:12,380 --> 00:16:19,460 The very top home service is about us going to save money, and this would essentially have our menu 230 00:16:19,460 --> 00:16:19,880 set up. 231 00:16:19,890 --> 00:16:22,730 So let me see if this even changes anything here. 232 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:25,730 OK, so it does not have a great. 233 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:34,510 And so now if we want to actually go and mess with the widgets, this is where things are on the side. 234 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:36,400 So let's say you wanted to have a sidebar. 235 00:16:36,710 --> 00:16:44,210 This is where you would set up different posts, different categories, different types of things that 236 00:16:44,210 --> 00:16:45,550 you would want to set up on the side. 237 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,970 And here is a different available widget that you can use. 238 00:16:48,980 --> 00:16:51,320 I mean, you can have custom code. 239 00:16:51,990 --> 00:16:53,210 Let's say you have a blog. 240 00:16:53,210 --> 00:16:56,960 You want to put recent posts, you want to have a search bar there. 241 00:16:57,770 --> 00:17:04,370 You want to have like custom code through a text calendar, custom HTML, an image, whatever that may 242 00:17:04,370 --> 00:17:04,610 be. 243 00:17:04,610 --> 00:17:04,970 Right. 244 00:17:05,390 --> 00:17:06,440 If you want to add that in there. 245 00:17:07,220 --> 00:17:10,430 So now let's look at the plugins that I like to use. 246 00:17:10,460 --> 00:17:15,220 So let's go to add new number one plug in electric uses, Yoast. 247 00:17:15,340 --> 00:17:23,690 So now this is going to help with your SEO for getting picked up by Google and just having well optimized 248 00:17:23,690 --> 00:17:25,600 page titles and meta description. 249 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:32,540 So it's going to activate and I want to show you how to set this up here properly. 250 00:17:32,550 --> 00:17:36,950 So we go down here, we go to General. 251 00:17:39,250 --> 00:17:42,550 OK, and then we're going to go to Dashboard. 252 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:49,830 Or actually right here, search appearance, and then we want to go to Taxonomies and we want to actually 253 00:17:49,830 --> 00:17:52,710 not have these show up, we want No. 254 00:17:52,710 --> 00:17:53,750 Four categories. 255 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:58,540 OK, and what else tags we want know as well. 256 00:17:58,590 --> 00:18:00,420 OK, we want to go to save. 257 00:18:01,050 --> 00:18:02,520 This is for duplicate content. 258 00:18:02,530 --> 00:18:09,930 We want to make sure that the categories are not actually being showing up in the search results because 259 00:18:09,930 --> 00:18:12,340 we can risk being hit with duplicate content. 260 00:18:12,690 --> 00:18:14,100 Same thing here with the tags. 261 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:15,960 So we're going to save this. 262 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:18,630 Then we're going to go to the archives here. 263 00:18:19,140 --> 00:18:25,830 We want to disable the author archives because again, this could be another duplicate content issue. 264 00:18:25,830 --> 00:18:27,800 So save OK. 265 00:18:28,110 --> 00:18:30,840 And that's essentially how we set up the yose. 266 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:38,370 So let's say that I wanted to create this page here and I wanted to actually make sure that it's well 267 00:18:38,370 --> 00:18:40,800 optimized for the Jozwiak. 268 00:18:40,810 --> 00:18:42,240 So this is how I would set it up. 269 00:18:42,270 --> 00:18:48,120 OK, because right now our home page, the title is homepage. 270 00:18:48,120 --> 00:18:48,410 Right. 271 00:18:48,420 --> 00:18:51,030 But we don't want that to show up in the search engines. 272 00:18:51,420 --> 00:18:54,120 We want it to show up with the actual page title. 273 00:18:54,120 --> 00:18:56,070 So it's go to edit snippet here. 274 00:18:56,440 --> 00:19:01,270 OK, so we want to go to not title. 275 00:19:02,100 --> 00:19:13,080 OK, we want it to be the actual title of here and so we could just type it in Seattle. 276 00:19:14,970 --> 00:19:17,430 Social media marketing. 277 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:25,260 One of the key things here that I want to talk about is Google reads your content and page titles from 278 00:19:25,260 --> 00:19:25,940 left to right. 279 00:19:25,950 --> 00:19:29,760 So it's important that you had the keywords there at the very beginning. 280 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:30,120 Right. 281 00:19:30,450 --> 00:19:36,630 When somebody's searching for social media marketing agency or a company in Seattle, you want those 282 00:19:36,630 --> 00:19:41,810 keywords at the very beginning, then you have your brand to your clients. 283 00:19:42,120 --> 00:19:42,790 OK, great. 284 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:44,370 This is the meta description. 285 00:19:44,380 --> 00:19:46,740 This is a little content down here. 286 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,990 And this is where we would put essentially the call to action. 287 00:19:50,820 --> 00:19:53,400 So we are Seattle's. 288 00:19:59,270 --> 00:20:05,550 Shadows number one, social media marketing agency. 289 00:20:09,290 --> 00:20:12,480 Call us at two 06. 290 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:14,290 And this is not a real number. 291 00:20:14,500 --> 00:20:19,250 Don't call this number here, please, for a free quote. 292 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:26,150 OK, that's essentially how we would set that up and then we would go to update and then we would be 293 00:20:26,150 --> 00:20:27,430 good to go there, OK. 294 00:20:28,210 --> 00:20:34,190 And so you're obviously not going to do any modifications here for the home page because the home page, 295 00:20:34,730 --> 00:20:40,340 you're going to be changing any kind of modifications through the custom customized bar up here. 296 00:20:40,370 --> 00:20:46,040 OK, so if you wanted to change this right, I already showed you how to set this up. 297 00:20:46,610 --> 00:20:49,750 So let's go and change different things here. 298 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:50,700 So the dashboard. 299 00:20:51,530 --> 00:20:58,790 OK, so you have the posts here where this is if you want to start like a blog and you want to set up 300 00:20:58,790 --> 00:21:02,150 some posts, I mentioned the categories and tags. 301 00:21:02,510 --> 00:21:08,860 You don't want to get these to be indexed in Google because it could lead to duplicate content. 302 00:21:08,870 --> 00:21:12,240 So I would just set up a post in here, OK? 303 00:21:12,290 --> 00:21:13,580 And I would write a different post. 304 00:21:13,850 --> 00:21:18,320 As you can see, I already have posts in here from a different example that I was working on. 305 00:21:18,950 --> 00:21:21,730 But it's important that you have the post set up here properly. 306 00:21:21,980 --> 00:21:25,640 I'm actually going to go ahead and delete all these because we do not need them. 307 00:21:25,940 --> 00:21:33,650 OK, and media, this is where you're going to be able to upload different images, different, you 308 00:21:33,650 --> 00:21:35,540 know, stock photos that you're able to get. 309 00:21:35,870 --> 00:21:41,660 And so really, as I mentioned, this video is just really a WordPress tutorial to show you kind of 310 00:21:41,660 --> 00:21:48,590 how to navigate the platform here, how to install the theme, how to set up the website really quickly, 311 00:21:48,980 --> 00:21:50,480 how to set up the pages. 312 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:57,320 And so if you want some additional photos, you can actually go to pics of Betacam to get free photos. 313 00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:01,700 You can go to pixels, dot com as well to get free images. 314 00:22:01,700 --> 00:22:07,940 And then if you want to pay for some images here, you can go to Shutterstock and pay for those here 315 00:22:07,940 --> 00:22:08,570 as well. 316 00:22:09,170 --> 00:22:16,400 So going back over here now to the actual WordPress website, this is essentially all you're really 317 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:20,180 going to need now if you want to add your contact form there. 318 00:22:21,750 --> 00:22:24,250 For the contact page show, you had to set that up as well. 319 00:22:25,380 --> 00:22:27,510 So contact seven. 320 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:36,780 OK, contact form seven and what this is going to do is give us a piece of code that I'll show you where 321 00:22:36,780 --> 00:22:37,780 we would set that up on. 322 00:22:37,820 --> 00:22:39,120 OK, so this is good here. 323 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:40,500 It's go to pages. 324 00:22:41,430 --> 00:22:42,690 And then we would set up. 325 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:48,060 Contact now or contact us, contact their. 326 00:22:49,190 --> 00:22:50,210 Would a publish? 327 00:22:51,390 --> 00:22:59,700 OK, so now we go back over here, go to settings, and then this code right here, OK, we copy that. 328 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:03,010 And then we go like this. 329 00:23:04,120 --> 00:23:08,320 We go to update let's go to preview changes, OK? 330 00:23:08,340 --> 00:23:10,380 And there we have our contact form. 331 00:23:10,380 --> 00:23:11,460 Looks super nice. 332 00:23:11,460 --> 00:23:12,780 Nice color scheme there. 333 00:23:13,190 --> 00:23:15,040 I mean, I think it looks fantastic. 334 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,450 So that's essentially how you set that up there. 335 00:23:19,350 --> 00:23:23,660 And then let's say we wanted to do anything with the footer. 336 00:23:23,910 --> 00:23:29,280 I believe you can make the changes through the customization here. 337 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:30,420 So let me show you. 338 00:23:30,450 --> 00:23:32,520 So let's go to visit site. 339 00:23:34,270 --> 00:23:39,650 And if you want to customize the footer, there's typically a few different ways to customize the footer. 340 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:44,620 So let's go to let's go to theme options here. 341 00:23:45,500 --> 00:23:51,740 So we've got the footer, what I would do is I would set up a menu down here for the footer to I didn't 342 00:23:51,740 --> 00:23:54,360 like the terms of service privacy policy. 343 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:56,930 Let's go ahead and exit out of this. 344 00:23:57,970 --> 00:24:03,730 So another cool thing that you can do for your website is making sure you always have. 345 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:12,770 A privacy policy and the terms of service, so it's called auto terms, we're going to add new. 346 00:24:16,070 --> 00:24:17,180 Auto terms. 347 00:24:20,060 --> 00:24:26,480 OK, so believe it, this one here, so this will automatically create a terms of service and privacy 348 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:32,540 policy page, all you got to do is fill out some information and spit out these two pages for you. 349 00:24:33,110 --> 00:24:33,580 All right. 350 00:24:33,590 --> 00:24:34,560 So let's go up here now. 351 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:39,980 Let's go to WPRO auto terms and then we want to add legal pages. 352 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:46,970 OK, and this is essentially how we can set this up super easy, so they said we wanted to create a 353 00:24:46,970 --> 00:24:48,890 privacy policy will create here. 354 00:24:49,790 --> 00:24:57,380 OK, and you literally answer these questions, your country can your users, what is it? 355 00:24:57,410 --> 00:24:59,460 Can you just create an account on your website? 356 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:00,050 Yes or no? 357 00:25:00,170 --> 00:25:03,140 Answer those questions and it'll automatically pop this out. 358 00:25:03,170 --> 00:25:04,990 So let's even go through this here. 359 00:25:07,460 --> 00:25:08,240 US. 360 00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:14,200 Washington, no. 361 00:25:17,410 --> 00:25:20,650 Name it first and last name and that email address, telephone number. 362 00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:22,700 No. 363 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:26,090 No go to create. 364 00:25:28,290 --> 00:25:33,430 And now we have a privacy policy page that's created for us within a matter of seconds. 365 00:25:33,450 --> 00:25:35,300 So now this page is corrected. 366 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:39,150 And so let me show you how I would set this up for the footer. 367 00:25:39,390 --> 00:25:46,350 So the privacy policy and the terms of service, I recommend you both have those set up and that we 368 00:25:46,350 --> 00:25:48,280 set them up at the very bottom of the website. 369 00:25:49,110 --> 00:25:50,220 So let's go ahead and do that. 370 00:25:50,820 --> 00:25:53,130 Let's go to menus. 371 00:25:54,020 --> 00:25:57,440 And if you don't have a photo menu, I recommend you create one. 372 00:25:57,830 --> 00:26:03,140 So this is the photo here, and we want to make sure that we have the privacy policy and the terms of 373 00:26:03,140 --> 00:26:04,790 service in here for this one. 374 00:26:04,790 --> 00:26:07,780 We're just going to add the privacy policy, because that's all we created. 375 00:26:08,360 --> 00:26:09,870 So that set up there. 376 00:26:09,890 --> 00:26:11,120 So let's go to say menu. 377 00:26:12,620 --> 00:26:15,800 We want to make sure we have the primary footer down here. 378 00:26:16,660 --> 00:26:17,440 Footer menu. 379 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:18,380 OK. 380 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,460 And so now we can see down here. 381 00:26:22,750 --> 00:26:28,690 We've got a privacy policy link right there and link right there, so it looks to me like this particular 382 00:26:28,690 --> 00:26:34,720 theme is a very unique and we don't even need to add this down here, so because it's adding it already 383 00:26:34,930 --> 00:26:35,840 by itself. 384 00:26:35,860 --> 00:26:38,110 So let's let's even delete this here. 385 00:26:39,730 --> 00:26:47,820 A lot of teams out there require you to come in here and add in the actual footer links manually. 386 00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:52,060 But for this one, for some reason seems to be not needing. 387 00:26:52,060 --> 00:26:53,950 So it's right here is automatically added. 388 00:26:53,950 --> 00:26:57,370 So we can either have it down here or have it right there. 389 00:26:57,390 --> 00:26:59,560 Both places, however, you want to set that up. 390 00:27:00,790 --> 00:27:03,030 OK, so that's really it for this video here. 391 00:27:03,250 --> 00:27:10,090 I just wanted to give you a quick walkthrough of how to navigate WordPress, the different plugins you 392 00:27:10,090 --> 00:27:10,530 can use. 393 00:27:10,540 --> 00:27:16,750 I mean, there are so many different plug ins in here that you can essentially search for and utilize. 394 00:27:16,750 --> 00:27:23,050 And this video is just really giving you a general overview of how to navigate the WordPress platform, 395 00:27:23,140 --> 00:27:28,870 how to install theme, how to install different plugins, and what exactly are plug ins, how to set 396 00:27:28,870 --> 00:27:35,590 up the proper structure, the proper framework and features and components here within the WordPress 397 00:27:35,740 --> 00:27:36,380 platform. 398 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:37,840 So let me know if you have any questions. 399 00:27:38,110 --> 00:27:39,340 That's it for this video. 400 00:27:39,340 --> 00:27:40,840 And we'll see you guys on the next one. 401 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:41,250 Thanks.
