So Entrepreneur What’s The Real Reason You Still Haven’t Built Your Very Own WordPress Blog Yet?

So do you recognize the name “Video Professor?” This is an extremely popular education based  company, that specialized in various educational and hobby as well as commercially based niche  subjects (or at least they used to back in the day), (and or), before they fell on the recent hard  times they’ve been experiencing as of late.

Anyway, their educational information is primarily delivered by way of physical DVD lessons, that  are mailed directly to your home, via their website and or you used to be able to conveniently  order by phone as well.

Now just in case you’re wondering (out loud), “what” if anything, the “Video Professor” has to do  with whether or not, you still haven’t at least attempted to build (and or) have built your very  own state of the art, (mobile responsive) WordPress website and or blog yet?

That’s an excellent question, and we’ll get to that part in just a second. But first, let me share  (more like) confess, that the very first time I (officially) attempted to build my very own  state of the art website.

Mind you this is back in the day! 😎 I attempted to apply the teachings of the good Professor! And boy was it ever (officially) a certified disaster!  😎 Looking back (now), I can honestly say for a ton of reasons!That, (unfortunately) turned out to be the case! 😎 

 So Entrepreneur “What’s” The Real Reason That You Still Haven’t At Least Attempted To Build Your Very Own State Of The Art Mobile Responsive WordPress Blog Yet?

Honestly, this was my worst than (green as grass) attempt at being a (DIY)  (Do it your-self-er), weekend warrior website builder! And back then (if I could ) have honestly claimed, that I was pretty clueless! That status still would have been a step up, from where I really was at that particular time! 😎

So there I was, just (little old) clueless (me) and my Video Professor DVD lessons! And those DVD’s may as well been done in German! Because I literally could not make heads or tales of the instructions! 😎 (Ever been there?)

So needless to say, with virtually no ongoing help from (either) their so called customer service department! (Which (BTW) was anything but! My dreams of building my very own state of the art website, by successfully using their program, were quickly dashed!Bummer! 🙁

But all is not lost my friend! That much I can readily assure you!  Because as they say, (“hope springs eternal!”)

It Just So Happens That I Was Also A Paying Member Of An Extremely Popular Membership Site At That Time That Also Offered WordPress Blog Building Training Lessons!

So quickly dusting my extremely bruised ego off! I (mentally) re-grouped (and this time), more determined than ever, I dove head long (once again) as clueless as ever, into learning the in’s & outs of the WordPress platform, once and for all! 😎 Yea, right!

And once again, I continued to experience extremely frustrating learning curve after frustrating learning curve! (Oh, the joys of being an entrepreneur!)

However, I’m proud to say, that simply by shear will and dogged (“take no prisoners like”) determination! (And (I might add), by driving my Coaches and paid WP expert consultants totally insane with question after question! 😎 )

I continuously struggled and readily paid for some more basic as well as occasional intermediate one on one training for WordPress!

Until, believe it or not, the very blog your eyes are now currently on, slowly evolved into “whatever” it currently is today! 😎

But not without the lumps and frustrations that just seemed to accompany it every step along the way! Now please don’t get me wrong!

I’ve hired several WP experts, to help me do the far more advanced (really techie stuff!) But after a gazillion free and paid classes, free ebooks, paid and free webinars and workshops etc!

I finally (kinda of sort of) know my way around the fringes (well enough) anyway! 😎 Enough to where I no longer have to totally depend on a paid techie to do everything little thing for me! “What” a relief!Because that route (my friends) quickly gets rather expensive! And frustrating as all get out!

Not to mention the fact that, you’re basically constantly at the mercy, and schedule of the techie! Because they’ll get to you, when they do! And not necessarily when you really need them to!

If You’re Sick And Tired Of Struggling Trying To Build Your Very Own State Of The Art Mobile Responsive WordPress Blog!

 (Finally There’s An Extremely Viable And Affordable Alternative!)

So “why” am and did I share all of those semi painful (and not so) distant (growing pains) memories with you? Just so you “know” and completely understand, that “if” any of that currently describers you! (And or someone you know!)

I too have definitely “been there and done that!”And that’s also “why” I’m introducing you to my “secret weapon!” That being Dotty Scott! (Hint: That’s the lady in the video!)

(Note: And just to give you a little heads up! Recently when this site wasn’t mobile responsive, and with the Google deadline for doing so quickly approaching,I turned to Dotty in a panic, and she quickly did “whatever” was necessary to get my site up to speed! Thanks Dotty!)

Guess “what” cadets? Dotty is a successful “full time” Internet marketer, (and has been for quite a while!) And she also just so happens to specialize in building absolutely fabulous, state of the art (mobile responsive) WordPress blogs!

  1. Hi Mark,

    I haven’t heard of those Video Professor DVDs but I do know what it feels like to get hold of something that you hope will teach you all you need to know about something, only to find that you are none the wiser and feel that you need something else just to help you to understand the training!

    Personally, what I found worked best for me to get started with WordPress was to just put aside any doubt and jump in. Granted, I come from a tech background, so I probably didn’t have as much fear of doing this that some may have. However, I still new absolutely nothing about the platform and, up until that point, the whole thing confused the heck out of me. But by just jumping in and playing around with it, I was very quickly able to suss it out and get my blog going.

    What I would advise for anyone who doesn’t want to risk breaking anything (because that’s one of the biggest stumbling blocks I come across when talking to people on this subject) is to sign up for some free hosting that comes with the ability to install WordPress. One very good one is X10hosting.com and it even comes with a fully functional cPanel, so you can play around with that and get to grips with it too, again, without having to fear breaking anything. Of course, I’m not recommending using free hosting to actually build a proper site or do anything important with, but it can be used to experiment without cost.

    • That’s some really good advice Glen!

      And I tell you there i nothing worst than investing in a so called “how to” educational training
      product and discovering, as you pointed out yo now need an interpreter just t help you understand
      what you paid money to learn!LOL!

      Initially, learning WordPress challenged a non techie like me to know end!

      Now I know just enough to semi convey me problems to the pros!LOL!

      Thanks so much for stopping by and sharing extremely valuable real world insights!
      They always welcome and greatly appreciated!

  2. Starting a blog sounds so easy, until you try for the first time. And even folks who are no longer newbies often struggle, and don’t know what’s missing. Dotty sounds like a great person to go to, for help if you’re just starting out or if your blog needs a makeover. Thank you for sharing. 🙂

  3. Hi Mark,

    I have often wondered if those Video Professor DVDs were any good. You don’t see them advertised anymore, or at least not where I am from. I refused to learn WordPress for quite a while but finally took the step and I am happy that I did.

    I also had a lot of trial and error and broken themes and sites but it was and still is always a learning process.

    Have a great day and what a great opportunity you have worked out with your readers and Dotty.

    • Yea we’ve pretty much all been through those ups and downs!

      The “VP” DVD”s don’t appear to be as nearly as popular as they used to be!

      At one point you literally couldn’t turn on cable TV after 1:00 am, without
      seeing one or two of their promos running.

      I can still remember the first few times I got exposed to WP, talk about a deer
      in headlights!LOL!

      It was all just so overwhelming! Not to so much these days thank goodness!LOL!

      Now I just turn they really techie stuff over to the pros!LOL!

      Thanks so much for stopping by! I greatly appreciate it!

    • You’re so welcome Cherry!

      And thanks for stopping by!Yea about seven to ten years ago, you’d constantly
      see the “VP”‘s 30 minute infomercials all over late night cable TV!

      And I saw they offered a course on building your very own website, so I dove
      in head first!LOL!

      Only to quickly realize that I couldn’t make heads or tails or what was being taught!LOL!

      It truly was like being transported to an entirely different country and having absolutely no
      idea “how to” speak the language!LOL!

      Boy that was fun,let me tell you!But I guess it was just part of my growing pains!LOL!

      Thanks so much for stopping by!Your thoughts are always welcome and so greatly appreciated!

  5. Hi Mark,
    Its the first time i am visiting your blog. The title itself impressed me. Glad to read this post. Thanks for sharing. 🙂

  6. Sounds like a terrific opportunity Mark! So many times (especially over in LinkedIn) I’ve seen comments from people who are frustrated attempting to set up or even manage their WP sites. First of all I have to say I am a huge fan of WordPress and after 3 websites using this platform I can’t even imagine playing with anything else! My point being that once a site is set up properly it is super easy to maintain and grow – and it’s pretty hard to argue with the awesome support and tools available. Gotta love those gazillions of plug-ins! Thanks for sharing your story – I hope a lot of people take advantage of this deal.

    • Thanks a bunch M!

      I really appreciate your continuous support! But I gotta tell ya, when I look
      back at my first few attempts and my crash and burn experience with good old “Video Professor!”

      I would have probably been nominated and easily won the”most likely to fail award!”LOL!

      Because I couldn’t find the WordPress platform with a flashlight!LOL! And boy was I ever struggling!

      But I can’t tell you “why” other than pure ego! I simply refused to throw in the towel!LOL!

      Even though, if it had been a championship boxing match between myself and the WordPress platform my
      own corner would have probably thrown in the towel, because I was simply taking a beating!LOL!

      But I’m so glad I did hang tough! Honestly, one of my favorite coaches sort of got underneath my
      skin early on, by warning about “how” sophisticated WordPress was and that it
      would both frustrate and test my impatience!

      And she was right on both counts!LOL! So part of me was simply determined (to no end) to proven
      it wouldn’t get the best of me!LOL!

      So I hung tough!LOL!And like you said, once you get it set up properly,it’s pretty easy to maintain! Thank goodness!

      I hope those that definitely need it, take advantage of this offer too!LOL!
