Using Wordpress? Buy this book!

Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2012

Verified Purchase

I wish that I had been able to read this when I first set up my blog.

It would have saved me a whole lot of time and effort and trial and errors!

Matt Wolfe has been running the Wordpress Classroom for several years and know how to deliver what you need in a readable and understandable format. If you can figure out how to buy this Kindle book, you can follow it and build a website.

Starting with the absolute basics for those that need to know: wordpress.org vs. wordpress.com, web hosting and domain names, he moves on to cover Cpanel, Fantasico, picking and customizing a theme and uploading media.

Even if you are an experienced wordpresser there are things to learn in this book: gotta have plugins, content creation tips and monetization are excellent sections where I learned a great deal.

The real meat is the interview section, where Matt digs into it with five internet marketers who are crushing it full time with wordpress. This where the book is worth many times the price of admission. If you already have wordpress sites up and making you money, start with the interviews. Then go back to the beginning and see how he lays it out for newbies so you can figure out how to improve your own information products!

Sure you can find most of this information somewhere on the internet, but at this price why waste your time Googling? It has been laid out for you on a silver platter!

I'll catch you later, I'm going to go and read it again...

maybe I'll find the answers to a couple of wordpress questions that I haven't figured out yet and add the fifth star to the book rating....(update: found several new plugins to add to my wordpress site - new rating: 5 of 5 stars)

If you are using wordpress you can't afford to skip this one...

quit sitting there thinking about it, take action....

no, really, just buy it!

Get Simple Site Up Fast

Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2014

Verified Purchase

This is a great book for a user who is not completely intimidated by technology and needs some basic instruction to jump into WordPress. Yes, it is not a comprehensive book on all things WordPress, but it definitely gives you basic information in an easy-to-read amount of detail that enabled me to get a site up in a day. I like the brief length and simple topics of the sections. It's kind of like a blog, but I appreciate that because I already have a full-time job and a side job, so I don't have time to read textbooks.

I read the poor ratings to see what the complaints were. I think if you are an absolute beginner to building websites (and don't know anything about needing a web host, for example), then this book is not for you. If you are looking for a comprehensive, soup-to-nuts book on WordPress, this isn't your book either. Technology changes so fast that you constantly need to update your information anyway (easier to do online).

But it you're like me, somewhat technically comfortable, and want a lot of progress with very little effort spent learning and struggling, this book is useful. The style is clean and easy to read, and I appreciated the lists of favorite plug-in's, etc. Yes, it cost a whopping $10. Last I checked, that was the price of two lattes. Which wouldn't be enough coffee for me if I had to read 50 pages in order to put up a simple site.

Step-by-step instructions

Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2012

Verified Purchase

If you get this book, you'll quickly learn how to put up a WordPress site or blog for free, or for the small cost of a template. Matt Wolfe gives specific step-by-step instructions on how to do that, and how to do much more. He goes into detail on how to add a customer header to your site, which plugins to use and why, how to install these plugins, how to get traffic to your site, how to make money with it and more.

My only complaint is that the template section is confusing. He tells you which template sites he recommends. Then he mentions a few specific templates he recommends for certain types of sites. But he doesn't tell you which template site each specific template is on. I was surprised by this, since one of the major strengths of this book is that he gives so many simple, straightforward, step-by-step instructions.

And I should add that in that template section, he gives excellent instructions on how to install a template once you've found one you like.

To be fair, it's hard to find a good template that's just right for your business, and he says that himself. But I do hope he'll clarify that section in a future edition. I do feel that finding a good template is a big subject in itself though, and I recommend to business owners that they hire a web designer, because I've never found a template (outside of Site Build It) that looks professional enough for a business owner. Most templates I see are too loud and busy. Even if you do hire a web designer, though, you need to have control of your site. Hire a designer who creates WordPress sites/blogs, and use this book to make the most of that site.

I feel stingy giving this book only four stars. Other than that one complaint, this is a great book. For $4.99, it's a huge bargain. And Matt's desire to be truly helpful really comes through. I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to create a site, whether on their own or with a web designer. It's stuffed with useful information.

value for money

I was quite pleased with this book, it was very clear and to the point. I think the only real complaints are that there weren't enough images, and the screen shots that were included were too small to read easily, I had to use my magnifying glass. A little more detail in how to set up a website in WordPress, with more of a step-by-step approach would have been beneficial.
I think the book was self published, and that alone impressed me. A good effort for a self publisher and good value for under $10.

Don't waste your money.

Reviewed in Canada on September 9, 2013

Verified Purchase

This is a very simplistic guide that provides no real information of substance. Regardless of your level of expertise, this book is just fluff. It was clearly thrown together for the purpose of scamming some money out of unsuspecting buyers who may have heard of Wordpress and were looking for a good introduction. It doesn't provide it. Note that it is self-published by the author under "Wolfe Empire" rather than a reputable publishing house. Avoid this book! Just go to the wordpress.org site and you'll get far more useful information for free.

Great Book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 19, 2012

This is must, No matter what level you are as a Wordpress user.
Though I would say that it is based more towards the beginner to intermediate, But for the price its a no brainer. I found it on theonlineincomeresource dot net
Matt Wolfe the creator of The Wordpress Classroom has created a great book that will definitely get you on your way and stay with you as a handy resource for the future.
I have been into WordPress for a while, and sometimes I forget some of the obvious things, so this book is a great reminder and a great starting point for any one.
It really doesn't matter if your the techy sort or the PC dummy.
This is a must have resource.
Great book 5 stars from me

Encouraging for beginners

Reviewed in Germany on August 19, 2012

I already have two websites - but not one that has been created with Wordpress. As I would like to start a blog I cannot do without WP. However, I always shied away from really starting it. After buying this little book (from the German Amazon site as I am from Germany) I definitely have no longer an excuse. Matt Wolfe explains everything with detail and provides numerous examples of how to monetize a blog. Last but not least: The book ends with at least 2 authors that warn to over-complicate. Just do it!

A quick easy, simple read that doesn't confuse you with too much tech talk. Excellent introduction for beginner bloggers to get an overview of the Wordpress process
