Course Description
Having your own blog can be an exciting and rewarding journey. But for many people, the technical aspects of setting it all up and maintaining the blog becomes an obstacle, so they never start. For other bloggers, it's writer's block that kicks in and makes updating the blog a chore.
If you want to create a blog or want to kick start an existing blog, this course is for you.
We'll cover:
Why you need to be using a particular type of WordPress.
What to look for when choosing a domain name.
How to buy web hosting and get your domain set up with your host.
How to set WordPress up so that it is ready to start accepting your blog post. We'll configure WordPress so that it takes care of the technical stuff, while you can focus on the creative side of writing your blog.
The two types of homepage you can have on your blog, and how to set these up.
The essential web pages your site needs, and how to create them easily.
Why and how to keep "blog-related" notes as you go about your daily lives.
The power of social media in getting your blog noticed.
WordPress themes and plugins.
My own techniques for coming up with an unlimited number of blog post ideas. This includes my own methods for using two types of keyword research to come up with blog post ideas and the actual titles.
How to create and publish a blog post in WordPress.
Using categories and tags effectively, to improve your reader's experience.
30 days of content ideas.
The options for making money from your blog.

I have written and published a number of books that are available on Amazon, including books on WordPress ("WordPress for Beginners 2026"), Self-Publishing ("Self-Publishing on Amazon 2025"), and A.I. (NotebookLM Mastery, ChatGPT for Beginners, ChatGPT for Seniors, AI for Students).
I also run a website called ezSEONews, where I provide tutorials on a number of skills required for running a successful website.
As an ex-schoolteacher, I hope I can make complicated topics simple to understand. I certainly enjoy trying!

Andrew seems genuine and I trust his recommendations, whereas in this field you never know if they mainly recommend due to commissions. The course feels crisp and clear and thoroughly prepared, you feel like you are in the hands of someone who is genuinely interested in guiding you through the process. I would say the best I have done on Udemy so far.

The challenge with doing a Wordpress course is that the interface and the plugins change so quickly. Fortunately Andrew is good about explaining how to find a useful plugin if the one he recommends is not available. In fact, there is a lot of information about how to find things as they change so the course has a much longer shelf life.

The purchase of this course is one of the best decisions I made for 2024. Mr. Williams is one of the best instructors I've come across since I started taking courses on Udemy. He really knows his stuff and teaches what he knows clearly. I highly recommend this course to anyone who is interested in starting a blog by learning Wordpress.

Think so. Don't know yet. Partly cos I'm not clear yet what I'm using blogging for. But you may have just provided a hint of the solution for that, which could be a few different domain names to cover different objectives/audiences

It was very informative and helpful, but I was expecting just a bit more on the actual writing of content, the legality part of it, as in guidelines to follow when writing an article/blog. In researching for factual information on a product or subject, I want to make sure I'm not plagiarizing because this part of writing is taken from good research and not the actual knowledge I have stored in my brain, although there is plenty of that.
By Anthony Molinero on 7/20/2022
I thought the course was extremely well done! It was well thought out and very informative. It dealt with virtually every aspect of creating a blog. However, it made me realize that blogging is not for me. The level of commitment to social media posts in order to have a successful blog was something beyond what I want to get involved in. But, if you like social media, then this could be the course for you. Andrew does a great job!

As usual Andy Williams has made learning a whole lot easier with his clear, concise instructions. I have used his instructions from day one and I'm happy to refer him to anyone who wants to learn about web design and blogging. My only issue is that some of his suggestions for finding content ideas no longer work. For example, Yahoo Answers no longer exists. However, that is a minor irritation to what is really a great course.

Instructor Williams teaches without rushing. This is a great way to learn WordPress. I started my blog before finishing this training now I feel like I can make some extra money. And in conclusion I would like to thank Andrew Williams for such a valuable training course..
By Paul Akerman on 7/20/2021
I had taken Andy's Affiliate course and wondered if it was worth doing this 30 day Blog course. I'm glad I did as it was extremely helpful. Thank you I just have to go away and put it all into practice!
By William Mahoney on 12/6/2020
Great course. I like the in-depth information on blogging along with all the latest information on WordPress. Many blogging tips and plugin suggestions are included. Dr. Williams has a very good teaching style.
