    Nowadays, many people are very interested in having a blog of their own. There are many blog tools like Wordpress, Blogger, TypePad, Joomla etc we can found on the net. I do blogging with Wordpress and have lots of knowledge on their plugins, themes and coding. I also do offer some services on Wordpress and some other popular CMS outhere on DP.

    I'm thinking about offering personal coaching on Wordpress and provide some tutorials and personal tutoring as well on how to getting started, troubleshooting, coding, css, installation and on making money with blogging. I would like to get your opinion on my idea so I can provide the new blogger with an easy way to get started and provide them better services by giving them the knowledge to do it themselves.

    For starters, I list all the services/covered and chapters that I'll provide to my students.

    + Introduction to Blogging
    + How to make money with blogging
    + Blogging tools
    + Blogging using Wordpress
    + Domain & hosting
    + Choosing & registering domain names
    + Brief guide on web hosting
    + Change your DNS server
    + Basic to cPanel
    + MySQL database, back up & restore data
    + File manager
    + Sub domain
    + Add on domain
    + Parked domain
    + Redirect
    + FTP tool, upload and download
    + Fantastico
    + Wordpress installation, manually and using Fantastico
    + Themes installation
    + Plugins installation
    + Playing with Admin area
    + Working with themes, plugins, widget, permalinks
    + Working with posts, pages and categories
    + Import/Export tools
    + Basic to html/xhtml/css
    + Using FrontPage/Expression Web/Dreamweaver
    + Video Tutorial on Worpress
    + Video Tutorial on cPanel
    + Internet marketing basics videos
    + Instant messaging/Email support
    + Free hosting/demo site during tutorial session
    + Paid hosting for a year with cPanel.

    I'll update the services/chapters day by day so everyone will really be able to benefit from it. Once again, I would like to get your opinion on my idea so I can provide the new bloggers an easy way to get started and provide them with everything they will need to know to be successful blogging. Give me you opinions and how much I should charge for it.

    Your signature and website promote the use of zango to make money. Zango is spyware. You are promoting spyware and therefore your advise is useless, except maybe to the lowest scum on the earth. Therefore I do not believe you can charge for your advice.

    I may be wrong, but I at least I am not promoting any scummy spyware.

    Good luck,
    Tom

    Tom, thank you for bringing that to my attention. I agree with you. But, i'm not using it on my site. I just do teach people how to use it as some people eager to earn money that way.

    I'd think to give it for free too. But, i need more responds from all of you. Again, thanks for your reply. It's good to hear from you. Anyone else?

    For those that are interested in Od3n's help I have been communicating with him over messenger for a few weeks now and he is both knowledgeable and helpful. Regardless of the method you choose to monetize your site, his advice would benefit anyone getting into the blogging game.

    You can get those things on the site itself. If you want someone to be interrested, you have to throw in your experience on using them. don't just copy and paste!
