Wealthy Affiliate Insider

Today, Wealthy Affiliate released the latest tool within its membership area completely unannounced followed by an email notification to members.

Wordpress Express is the latest in Wealthy Affiliate's ongoing efforts to enhance its membership experience and make its training program for internet marketers completely self-contained.

When you need to build websites there will be no need to go outside of Wealthy Affiliate in search of a website builder and web hosting.

As you may or may not know, Wealthy Affiliate already provides free website hosting for members and a website builder called Site Rubix. Wordpress Express is just another option if you prefer the convenience of a content management system or love the simplicity of building blog sites with Wordpress.

So what's so special about Wordpress Express?

It's no secret that Wealthy Affiliate caters for every level of marketer from beginners to experienced. In most cases the experienced marketer would already know how to build websites whether with editing software or with CMSs like Wordpress and Joomla.

The beginner marketer will however find it a tiresome activity which is why a lot gravitate towards the popular bum marketing with sites like Hubpages and Squidoo.

Wordpress Express handles most of the setup process and skips right through the processes that will give you a headache. It allows you to set up your sites fast and easily so that you could get to creating content.

I tried Wordpress Express...

Most of my sites are built with Wordpress so I thought I'd give it a try to see how it would benefit me. I can usually build and configure a Wordpress site in like 10 minutes.

Here are the steps I usually take:

• Log into my hosting account.
• Set up my domain name.
• Open Fantastico on my dashboard
• Choose to install Wordpress
• Install Wordpress on a domain
• Log into my Wordpress dashboard
• Upload a theme
• Search and install plugins
• Configure my settings 

Now with Wordpress Express, it's a little different.

• Log into WA
• Set up your domain (instructions available). Or choose from an existing hosted domain. 
• Enter a name for your blog and pick a theme

• Click create blog on the next page and the installation is done. 

You will then be able to log into your dashboard and configure your site. The theme is already there and six essential plugins come preloaded. These are plugins that every marketer absolutely must have installed on their wordpress site.

How cool is it that you don't have to go looking for them? WP Express comes preloaded with:

• Akismet - for screening comments and handling spam.
• All In One SEO Pack - for making sure your blogs rank high in the search engines
• Exclude Pages - for when you need to hide pages from your site navigation
• Google Analytics for Wordpress - for tracking your visitors
• Google XML Sitemaps - so that search engines can discover all your pages easily
• Sociable - those share buttons so your users can help share your blogs on Facebook, Twitter and other places.

Wordpress Express saves you a whole lot of time, money and trips to Walgreens to get aspirin. It's just the right thing if you're just starting out. As a matter of fact, its just the right thing if you build sites, period.

Wordpress Express is just one of two blog systems at Wealthy Affiliate, the other one being a blog funnel system for affiliates.

I haven't seen any other systems like this that will get you up and running with a Wordpress blog in under 5 minutes but I'm sure there are.

The difference is you would still have to pay for hosting and you still need to know how to market whatever it is you're promoting. Not to mention the numerous other features available at Wealthy Affiliate that would make any affiliate's life easier and their promotions more profitable.

Get started today and build your first site with Wordpress Express available only through Wealthy Affiliate.
