    How it Works? →

  • How it all works?

    We’ve developed a system that allows anybody who wants to get into blogging to do so and this service is completely free.

    The way it works is, you register for a blog using the “Free Registration” tab found on this page. We will install your blog onto our servers for you and host it for free. This service is more for people who are thinking about getting into blogging and want to learn how it’s done.

    We’ve had some tutorial videos made that will teach you exactly how we build our blogs here at the BlogFactory.co.uk so you can create professional quality blogs, completely FREE.

    If you register today, your blog will be ready for you to “play with” within 24 hours. We will send you all of the login information, as well as all of our FREE training.

    If you’re looking to get into blogging then this is truly an amazing opportunity for you.

    We know how important it is to have a blog. A blog gives you a platform to develop relationships with the people in your market. It gives you the opportunity to connect with people who are actively searching for your services in a way that encourages them to buy from you.

    A blog is also the perfect environment to keep your market up to date with the progress of your business. Any up and coming events, important news or information, anything that you need to convey to your audience can be achieved through your blog.

    A blog shouldn’t be confused with a website. A website has a very specific purpose of converting traffic into either leads or money. A blog is used to pre-sell the services on your website, or help with acquisition of new business or customer retention.

    Essentially your blog is a way for you to sell yourself rather than your business because as we all know, people buy from people, not websites.

    Lesson 1 – Posting and Pages

    1 Posting
    In this lesson we look at how we can use posts to provide value to our marketplace. It’s all about providing content to your audience and helping people out.

    2 Categories
    Categories give you the opportunity to keep your blog organised. It also gives your visitor another method to navagate your blog.

    3 Tags
    Tags are also used to provide your visitor with the ease of navigating your site. We also cover (in the plugins section) a plugin that will give you a really smooth looking tag cloud.

    4 Pictures
    Adding pictures to your blog is essential. In this lesson you’ll learn how to add photos, and also how to use them to direct traffic i.e. as a banner.

    5 Videos
    THE most engaging method of reaching and engaging with people is via VIDEO. This lesson will show you how you can add videos to your blog so that you can engage with your visitors.

    6 Publishing Options
    The publishing options allow you to create private posts, or the ability to schedule your content allowing you to post while you’re on holiday (or working).

    7 Permalinks
    Changing the permalink structure to a custom one is really going to help your blog in a number of ways, firstly it’ll be easy to share your content with the offline world, and secondly your blog will look miles more professional.

    8 Categories & Tags
    Once you’ve created your post Categories and Tags, you’re probably going to want to either look at or edit them at some point. This video shows you how.

    9 Pages
    Pages are really useful in the functioning of our blog. In this video I take you through creating a Contact Page and all of the stuff you would need to deal with when publishing a page.

    Lesson 2 – Installing Themes

    1 Free Themes pt 1 – WordPress Themes
    In the first of our “theme hunting” videos we look at the themes that you can install from within WordPress. These are generally the themes that beginners use.

    2 Checking Links
    This video is REALLY IMPORTANT!! Once you’ve installed and activated a theme, then you’re going to want to inspect it a little to make sure there are no “nasties” on it..

    3 Theme Options
    This short little video shows you where to find the “theme options” (if there are any). I also show you the place where you can edit the header for the twentyten theme (the default theme).

    4 Free themes pt 2 – Tinterweb Themes
    Now we get a little more adventurous and start exploring the internet for themes. Make sure you inspect them though because in our experience, some WordPress developers are quite sneaky.

    Lesson 3 – Plugins and Widgets

    1 Widgets
    Widgets literally as easy as dragging and dropping. It’s important to have a few VITAL things in our sidebar for our guests to be able to navigate our site and find our content.

    2 Akismet
    Akismet is a vital plugin for you to utilise. The way it works is it automatically detects both spam comments, and trackbacks & pingbacks and will prevent your inbox from filling up with spam.

    3 All in One SEO
    We’ve done a lot of research into the best plugin to use for SEO and this was the one that kept cropping up so that’s why we’re recommending it.

    4 Contact Form
    It’s really important to have give your visitors a method to communicate with you. This doesn’t mean you have to have your email on display, all you have to do is create a contact from.

    5 Facebook Comments
    It’s a proven fact that a friends recommendation is way more powerful than any other form of marketing. Allowing your guests to comment using Facebook comments will give you the ability to virally promote your business.

    6 Digg Digg (Twitter)
    This is the same plugin that Mashable.com uses on their website. We all know now how important it is to make sharing our content easy and Digg Digg makes doing that easy for us.

    7 WP FollowMe
    This plugin allows your visitors to connect with you on Twitter really easily. It basically put’s somethig that resembles a clothes tag on the side of your blog with a link to Twitter.

    8 WP Cumulus
    This is one of our favorite plugins. It doesn’t work too well on the site that we used for the demo but it does on other sites. If you’ve got a wide sidebar (at least 180px) then this is for you.

    9 Twitter Widget
    This is an official Twitter widget and before we can install it into our sidebar we need to get the code. Really good for getting your Twitter account noticed i.e. get more people following you.

    10 Facebook Fanpage Widget
    If you’ve got a fan page set up on Facebook then you may want to let people who visit your site know about it. This official Facebook Widget will allow people to “like” your fanpage from within your blog. Awesome!

    Lesson 4 – Syndication

    Twitter & LinkedIn
    This lesson is all about syndicating your content out to your social media profiles. Syndication is important because it saves us time in not having to worry about it.

    Facebook
    We look at using the free NetworkedBlogs app to syndicate our content out to Facebook. Facebook is a really powerful platform for us so it’s important that you get this step done.

    Lesson 5 – What Now?

    Social Media

    NewsFeed
    In this lesson we look at what a Social Graph.

    Profile
    Having a good profile is important in Social Media. Another good pointer would be to not use your business name but YOUR name.
