1. How do I add Pictures and Content to my Site?
After you sign in to your website at http://www.mydomain.com/wp-admin you click on the word Posts in the left toolbar. Now click on “add new” and just type it in. Make sure you save it as a draft and then Publish it or it won’t be live on your site. You can add images within your text posts also.
2. What is a Plug In and why do I want lots of them?
Plug ins are modules that perform specific functions for your website. There are many different plug ins available for WordPress. These include plugins for Banner Ad display, Adsense display, SEO functions and lots more. We have compiled a list of some great plug ins at http://www.buildmysiteforfree.com/wordpress-resources-and-plug-ins/
3. What is SEO?
SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization and is the process by which you make your site most appealing to search engines like Google. Its important to identify the best keywords and information that will make your site most findable by your customers and prospects. We offer some SEO resources at http://buildmysiteforfree.com/webtraffic
4. What is PPC and How can I get some Paid Advertising for FREE?
PPC stands for Pay Per Click and it is the form of Internet Advertising that is sold on search engines including Google, Yahoo and Bing. While SEO involves optimizing your site to receive free traffic which takes a while to see results, Pay Per Click is a paid advertising program that you can use to obtain traffic much faster.

You will need to develop a traffic plan for your web site. The optimal plans include a mix of SEO (free traffic) and PPC (paid traffic). We offer some further details on how to create a traffic plan at http://buildmysiteforfree.com/webtraffic

Email lists are great ways to grow your business. It enables you to communicate regularly with your customers and prospects.
