Simply & Easy

Create An Online Course Website Completely Free 2016

Welcome back for another video my name is
Adam and I'm from WPCrafter.com were a make

videos for non-techies like me maybe like
you and I couldn't be more excited today then

to give this video and this website template
to you and I'm sort of taken a new direction

with my site WP crafter and this channel woman
and you spend the next couple months focusing

on creating online courses teaching people
giving people all the tools to create an online

course that they can sell on their website
and this right here is my new done for you

template and what that means is when you go
to my website you can get this entire website

in a download package that you can install
on your web host in a matter of minutes in

it will be completely done for you already
so to start this video the first thing that

I do is show you the front end of the website
I am going to then login and show you the

user experience when they are interacting
with your online course and then I'm gonna

take a look at the back end to show you a
little bit of the backend of the platform

now let me first tell you that this is all
based on WordPress my channels all about WordPress

of course it's good to be all done in Word
press and the cost is going to be zero everything

that I've used to build this is completely
free and I'll explain a little bit more about

that when I'm showing you the back end of
it so first of all ironies of this is free

and let's take a look at some of the cost
of other solutions out there and then I'm

going to show you this site so you've got
friends and secures a plug-in that you you

can integrate with WordPress it's gonna cost
you $299 per year here's another one is called

course cats and this is almost $500 per year
here's another one is called learn '96 and

this is a very popular one for WordPress and
it starts in $129 per year here's another

one for online that's very popular caught
mood and me are you Danny and so you can put

your course there and they'll host it and
I think they take a cut of 20 or 30% of the

money that it comes in from selling your course
and here's another one has become kinda popular

recently is called teachable and you can see
it's $99 per month or they have these lower

plans but then they take a cut of your sales
and but it's all hosted and so this a solution

that I am giving to you today is all self
hosted on your own web hosting account and

everything is completely free and everything
that I show you keep in mind it's could be

completely customizable and easy to change
using a front and page editor which I'm going

to show you later in this video so this is
how I designed it and I intend on hopefully

releasing some design packs to make it easier
for you to see all the power possibilities

with this platform that can allow you to take
all of your knowledge packet it up into courses

that you can sell or give away for free so
here's the site I started off with his gigantic

headline here and then this nice a sub headline
and I've got these two buttons here and I've

got this a really nice hovering affecting
you'll be of the change the colors and you

can change the text to these buttons is little
introduction to the sides here's a little

information on the instructor which would
be you and not me and then here's a course

in grid and in this template I set up three
different courses for use you could see how

I set them up and here's a course grid and
then I got an area down here where you can

put some frequently asked questions and put
those answers and then lastly got this call

to action area right here to get people to
take action and move forward now when someone

wants to see one of your courses they can
click on any of these images here in the course

of grid and click on this review course button
and here is how I've set up the course introductory

page so you got this area where you can change
this background image to whatever makes sense

for you I got that headline again and a sentence
or two about the course and then he can put

a sales video in there and then when someone
scrolls down now right here you can put some

additional textbased information about your
course and here is a course syllabus now you

also have this sidebar here were so mobile
to see their progress in your course and they

can see your different modules and the lessons
within those modules and this is a collapsible

so when someone clicks on it you can see collapse
classes and then it will go back like that

and when someone scrolls down here are the
different lessons in this course and check

this out when you click on it if you're not
enrolled they get this message here to take

the course to unlock it so this is the layout
for the course itself and you can host as

many courses or as few as one course on this
website template okay now the reason this

is become a member is because you can also
with this solution you can package up courses

that you sell his packages and you could protect
any content on your website now it's also

important to add at this point that this is
a full learning management system that this

website has you can have as many courses as
you want you can have quizzes at the end of

each lesson if you want you can issue a certificate
if you want you can have what's called a game

of vacation that's where people get badges
and awards when they accomplish certain goals

within your course in one of the most powerful
features of this solution is it has something

called engagements so when someone enrolls
you can automate sending them an email once

someone completes a lesson and clicks the
completed this lesson button you can send

them an email congratulating them with someone
in roles in the course and doesn't Mark any

of the lessons as completed after couple days
you could send them an email to get them he

reengaged to come back into the course it
is a full featured solution so let me show

you these other links here so here is a dedicated
course page not your meal to change all these

options here in the menu this is how I have
it set up for you to see the power seeking

out a blog if you want all that kind of stuff
this is just how I have it set up right now

so someone clicks on courses here's a course
in grid again and this area here you have

this color you can change that to any color
you want you can put a background image if

if you want it's whatever you want and I'm
gonna show you that as well and then here's

a page for membership so if you have more
than one memberships you can have a page dedicated

to that now here is the customer dashboard
I just called it my courses now I'm not logged

in so when I click on it it prompts me to
log in or it prompts me to register for a

course so what I do right now is a logged
in and then show you the experience as a user

that is logged into the site okay so now I'm
logged in and as you can see what was on this

page before the login form is gone and now
it's showing me a list of the courses that

I'm enrolled in and my progress in those courses
and it greets me with the name right here

so whenever your users login it will greet
them with their name I'll give them options

right here to change your account settings
and also redeem a voucher this is actually

really cool feature fury a public speaker
and you might sell something at the end of

your event you could sell a voucher that a
for some of their purchases it can then come

to your website and read deem in order to
get access to a course that's a way to sell

off line your online courses on your own website
so back here any of your users can go and

get back into the course that they're taking
by just clicking on any of these buttons let

me jump back to the homepage because I want
to show you something now when I scroll back

under that course grade because I'm logged
in and I'm enrolled in this course and I'm

enrolled in this course it says right here
on my progress as it is in the button it says

I haven't even finished any of the lessons
but I can click on continue to jump back into

that course so go ahead and click on the course
right here so now I'm back on that course

listing page and when I scroll down you notice
that now the button here as well says continue

the course so this is convenient so if you
have a very large course all your user needs

to do is click on that button and it will
take them to where they last left off and

it makes it very convenient for them in a
very smooth experience for your customers

so now you'll see when I click on a lesson
like here it will now take me into that lesson

wears before it wouldn't even let me get this
far so here we have an area for the lesson

where I've got this gorgeous large area where
you can put a background image and then put

your video in whether it's hosted on video
YouTube or some other solution I have mine

right here I need is you can see I have a
really advanced video system where it can

put the person where they left off in the
video so if it's a 20 minute video some watch

10 minutes it can put them where they left
off but that's something that's a separate

from this template but there's this large
area here for the video and I love that this

is actually exactly how I have my online courses
set up@WPCrafter.com I love this large area

also when you scroll down you have this area
here where you can put information about the

about this particular lesson and then here
is the syllabus there on the right and when

your user is done with the lesson they can
click on the market complete and that's how

the progress indicator increases and then
there's also these options to just click here

to jump into the next lesson so this right
here is the front and user experience now

I'm going to jump into the back end of this
WordPress website to just show you how easy

it is to do pre-much everything with it right
now I'm logged into the backend of this website

it's all based on WordPress now don't get
intimidated if you're not familiar with WordPress

my website has over 100 videos on WordPress
and I even have a free course it has no registration

requirement that is the basics of WordPress
that will get you up and running fast if you're

not familiar with WordPress but I'm to go
through some things now if you are a little

familiar with WordPress already your have
no trouble at all and just you know WordPress

powers over 26% of the websites on the Internet
if there is a platform that you would want

to learn for having a website it would definitely
be word press so first let me show you how

easy it is to edit anything on the homepage
of the site and some of the content pages

as well so those are pages in WordPress you
just click on pages and here's a list of pages

and here's the homepage, go ahead and click
on that I'm using a was called a front and

page builder that makes everything so much
easier to do and is called Beaver Builder

not using the free version of Beaver Builder
they also paid version but you don't need

it for this solution so I'm going click on
launch page builder and was reduced take me

into the page builder and here I am so basically
just you know this page in any page on any

website is just a series of rows those roles
have columns and then there's content in those

columns that's all website is and so right
here's a row right here is a row right here's

a row here's my lesson grid I'm sorry my course
grade and it's essentially a row and this

is a row right here now when you have a was
called a front end page builder is really

easy to edit content I can see right here
I can click on it this box pops up and then

I could just change whatever I want right
here and then click on save and that change

will be applied to it and it's the same thing
here now Rose can have background colors and

rows can have background images now if you
happen to have the paid version of Beaver

Builder you can have background videos background
slideshows all love you more items in the

background so this right here is just a background
image and so when at when I click on the role

right here there's little ranch in this pops
up right here I can see right here I'm choosing

what I want for my background I have it as
a photo actually I misled you I'm sorry you

can't put a background video on the free version
of Beaver Builder that might be new or not

and you can have a background photo and that's
what I have and what I did is I put this kind

of a colored tent over the background because
I wanted it the text the stand out a little

bit more sense where you see the little dark
however if I click that that's what it looks

like without the tent on it so we actually
click on cancel to get my tent back in is

the same thing.

easy to edit content I can see right here
I can click on it this box pops up and then

I could just change whatever I want right
here and then click on save and that change

will be applied to it and it's the same thing
here now Rose can have background colors and

rows can have background images now if you
happen to have the paid version of Beaver

Builder you can have background videos background
slideshows all love you more items in the

background so this right here is just a background
image and so when at when I click on the role

right here there's little ranch in this pops
up right here I can see right here I'm choosing

what I want for my background I have it as
a photo actually I misled you I'm sorry you

can't put a background video on the free version
of Beaver Builder that might be new or not

and you can have a background photo and that's
what I have and what I did is I put this kind

of a colored tent over the background because
I wanted it the text the stand out a little

bit more sense where you see the little dark
however if I click that that's what it looks

like without the tent on it so we actually
click on cancel to get my tent back in is

the same thing. Just click on it and you can
change your text very easily some of you and

click on cancel and pretty much that's all
there is to adding or editing any of the content

on this front page Beaver Builder does have
a paid option you can find the full Beaver

Builder plug-in that essentially adds new
modules that you can drag-and-drop but the

reason I like using the free one is I want
you to be only get up and running right now

and not have to pay a penny and you're in
business now as your business grows as your

website grows in the visitors of your website
grow that's when you can take some of the

money you're making and then invested back
into it so there's this upgrade path if you

will to adding more features and functionality
if you wanted it you're not locked into something

that is limited and that's why chose this
route and one less thing about Beaver Builder

is it is currently on over 80,000 websites
which means it is rocksolid and there's a

huge development team that is behind it the
great guys okay so go ahead and click on done

in published changes and that's all there
is to editing this home page and you can make

it be whatever you want and one more caveat
I intentionally have the logo area and the

navigation disabled on it but you can easily
enable it in will learn that in later videos

but that is how I chose to set it up so now
let me get back into the backend of WordPress

here now the online learning portion of the
site the whole platform is powered by something

called lifter LMS is what I use and I have
all these other paid solutions by the way

but I using this and was awesome about it
is it's 100% free and it's 100% open source

and it's the it's it's more powerful than
a lot of these paid options so that is why

I'm using it on the solution so go ahead and
click on lifter LMS and you got this beautiful

dashboard back here you can change any of
the settings here you can see how your cells

are going in all of that and you can see here's
an option for analytics you can see all your

students you have this area here to set up
these automated emails that are linked to

different engagements of different activities
that people are doing you can automate reaching

out to them in that is probably the most powerful
feature you can also have the cheese achievements

as I came a vacation you can have a certificate
that you issue on course completions you can

let your customers leave reviews you can see
all your orders you can issue coupons you

can vouchers and here's the area right here
for courses not just you know you can protect

any content with this plug-in you can create
a membership and you can protect the posts

you can protect pages you can protect any
website content in your WordPress site so

here's the courses and you can see how I have
them here knowingly click on the WordPress

essentials and our right here is where I got
that information that's on that background

image it's all right here and here's where
I have a YouTube embed for what you would

use is like a sales video now I scroll down
here's all the different settings for the

lesson where you can set the price a reoccurring
price you can manually add students you can

do all kinds of things like that now let me
scroll down a little bit more and this is

what I really love about this solution you
have this visual way of laying out your course

the sections the lessons and all that you
have this visual way of doing it moving everything

around so if I wanted to add a new lesson
I can click on and right here I can choose

add new lesson if I wanted a new module I
can click add new section or if I had an existing

lesson that I wanted more than one course
I can click add existing lesson which makes

it so easy and another thing I love is you
can you can rearrange these with this drag-and-drop

interface I can click like this and I just
rearranged the lesson structure now there

are so many advanced features you can also
right here you can set up a drip schedule

so if you want to have a course where people
get Axis II a lesson each week or each day

you can do that as well in this solution it
is a complete solution right here you can

assign a quiz to a lesson so someone can advance
unless they complete this quiz access fully

and that's based upon the criteria that you
said you can have a pre-wet requisite for

lesson so they have to complete the prior
lesson or they have to complete the prior

course another thing you can make the first
lesson afraid someone someone goes to view

your lesson syllabus they can actually see
that first lesson for free without registration

I actually use that myself so anyways and
you can rearrange entire modules and that's

pretty much it someone you create a lesson
all you have to do is click on edit content

and that's rear to go ahead and edit the content
for these individual lessons so I'm sure you

would agree that this is an amazing solution
that I put together for you and I can't wait

to get it in your hands now I'm gonna go over
everything in this video and you will be able

to launch your course lightning quick with
this you revealed to do it completely for

free and your neck be able to have no excuses
as to why you can't take all that awesome

amazing knowledge that's up in your head package
it and sell it or give it away in order to

make a difference in other people's lives
as well I'm so excited for you I cannot wait

to see what you create I got one question
for you at the beginning of this video in

that question is are you ready to start a
new adventure to embark on a new voyage in

your life never before has the technology
lined up and made it so easy for normal ordinary

people like me and you to take the knowledge
and experiences that we have had in our life

our expertise so right now I'm in a jump into
a brief presentation to let you know how everything's

going to work and there were any get to deploying
in getting this site for you as I get this

brief presentation so I can explain everything
to you in an organized way and I'm sure you

jump into it I'm gonna try to go as fast as
I can yet I'm not to skip anything to make

sure that you have the best understanding
of what this process is going to be so first

of all I have this but here were one explain
how this is going to work so normally my other

60 minute website challenges they have been
just one video and it's a very long in its

comics, hard anything to interchange anything
later so in this 60 minute website challenge

section and of being a series of videos because
there's some moving parts with this to pull

this off and some people don't want one thing
in others are and wanted different things

and for some people there that this this video
might or this bit of content might apply to

them and for others it won't so to respect
everybody's time I went to break this up into

different videos in your to be able to just
choose which videos to do what it is that

you want to accomplish on your site in this
can be dynamically growing you see there's

lots of topics I want to cover in this challenge
like adding e-commerce maybe adding a booking

image to your site to book appointments other
so many aspects to it it that I want to I

wanted just do my very best job in the best
way to do that is to have this dynamically

growing list of videos that all apply to this
template for you and with the way U2 works

these videos are to be on YouTube with way
works is might be hard to find the next one

if you're watching it on you to someone encourage
you to spend some time over at my website

were all the videos are to be organized and
together in that's probably where your to

get your best benefit going through this series
and it's also the place where I can continue

to give me information if something needs
to be changed or something along those lines

that's can be the best place for that
here is W IIF M if not in the US or maybe

the UK you might not know what that means
that stands for what is in it for me 940 told

you that there is no cost of this none of
the plug-ins have any cost and and I packaged

it all up in your to be up to have this in
just a few minutes so you might thing and

what's in it for me and I've been criticized
on you to because I very vocal insane I just

really want to help people so I just wanted
to read this little quote to you and explain

what's in it for me and you might've heard
this is from a of famous cells to ruin the

United States and he basically says you will
get all you want in life if you help enough

people get what they want and you might've
heard that before and I I believe that and

that is the sentiment of me doing this for
you because I should be selling this and not

giving it away but I am giving it away to
you in here is how you can help me later in

this video I'm going to suggest a web hosting
provider will maybe consider getting your

hosting through them or switching to them
and it will be in your best interest anyway

and I can make a little bit of money from
them as a as a referral fee or when you're

on my website ever recommended page and I'm
recommending different products and if you're

in a bind those products click through on
my website there is so I can maybe earn a

little bit of a commission there and these
things help me to be able to provide these

videos for you and I always leave people down
the right path if I don't use it if I know

it's junk I will say don't use it I don't
even care if there is a lot of money in it

for me to be able to recommend it to people
I won't to do it I just won't do it and there

been many situations where I'm saying you
know incentive this paid solution where I

can make some money I rather you use this
free solution just because I know it's better

you can trust the things that I recommended
and that's how I can actually maybe earn some

money through giving all of this to you and
spending hundreds of hours of my time putting

this together making these videos and stuff
like that and also you can help by spreading

the word if you're on a Facebook group and
some saying how to create an online course

we could sell this is what I followed it worked
for me it's been great and at the end of the

day even if it's just you go to my website
like chatting mean telling you me how this

made a difference for you that's reward enough
to be honest that is all that I really need

so that's what's in it for me let's go here
in say why the 60 minute website challenge

and I created this challenge for a couple
reasons number one I do want to improve people's

lives it's so easy to get online and get exposed
to the entire world and your life can really

change when you do that and that's the main
reason why accreted this challenge on number

two I wanted to make it incredibly easy for
you to get online I just wanted to make it

simple and explain things in the most non-techie
way possible on next I want to eliminate your

excuses if you're anything like me you make
excuses for things and there's always a reason

why you don't get started just even in making
this video I have to tell myself just hit

the record button it doesn't have to be perfect
just hit the report record button because

I make excuses why I don't get started with
something and I think most people are that

way and that's why made this challenge is
simple and easy as possible to make it so

people do not have any excuses not to implement
this in their life and really open their life

up to having to be changed by taking their
expertise in putting it out on the Internet

and I wanted you to get infinitely better
results because I've seen some of these how

to make a website video or how to do this
with your website videos and and that the

person will make this beautiful site but the
money actually look to the people that try

to do it themselves it's a disaster like oh
my gosh that doesn't look so good I want you

to have the very best results that's why I
picked out the fonts I picked out the color

schemes and you can change them of course
and you can flexibly do whatever you want

but I kinda wanted to make it cookie-cutter
so that you can have a beautiful site fast

okay so next my little disclaimer I can't
cover this earlier basically it's a video

I can't change any of the content once it's
uploaded to YouTube you can leave a comment

down below but the best thing is just a head
over to my website if I've left anything out

I'm sorry you can ask me on my website I will
put a new video out to maybe add a portion

or all have some info on my website for for
fixing any problem that you might have I can

change this video essentially once I uploaded
it to YouTube so you do this and get started

and there's pretty much for easy steps the
first step as we need to order a delay in

domain name and web hosting in him and explain
what that is next thing is we need to install

something called WordPress the third step
is to restore this done for you template and

the last thing is to just swap out and change
your text and images to make the site yours

number run through how this whole website
thing works you need a domain name and that

is website URL and I when uses analogy is,
like an address so where you live you have

an address your house has an address just
think of your domain name as your address

that's where what you give to people so that
they could find you the next is hosting that

is kind of like the foundation of the house
where this address is it's the foundation

and when you're creating a website for yourself
you wanted to be on the very best foundation

possible if it's on a bad foundation the house
is going to have problems now getting to that

more later WordPress is like the house so
the structure of the walls the roof that is

word press and the W template is likely to
court your house it was make it's what makes

it yours would it had reflects your tastes
and styles so your domain name that can cost

about depending on where you get the domain
name might cost about $10 per year that's

pretty much average and it's a regular cost
that you have a web hosting as well is a regular

cost just think of it in this analogy is like
a property tax you have to pay it every single

year to your web hosting costs I've got a
special that I wanted to about a moment of

which are maybe looking at between five and
$10 a month but when you purchase it on a

yearly basis there is a discount WordPress
is completely free this done for you template

is completely free so let's talk about that
good foundation for a minute and I said the

foundation is your web hosting company your
web hosting account and is a couple things

that really matter to having a good foundation
and that is speed speed of your website is

one of the most most important aspects because
if someone does your website it takes five

or six seconds to load its is going to be
a bad experience that's a bad foundation in

his can end up hurting you annexing his security
matters security is so important anything

you put on the Internet is vulnerable to being
hacked into so you need to make sure that

you have a security plan in place or a web
hosting company that is proactively monitoring

your security for you next support matters
you want a web hosting company that is super

available to help you when you need it not
through some ticket ticketing system regarding

weight in our five hours to get some help
but they have live chat they have support

reps they have expertise in their waiting
there to help you in these three things really

are what makes a good foundation for your
website and I want to talk next about the

hosting provider that I use if you go to my
website@WPCrafter.com is using in motion hosting

and emotion hosting meets this criteria where
your your speed matters your websites could

be on fast solid-state drives of security
matters they proactively monitor the security

of your website the port matters they have
a huge support staff there to help you and

the best thing is is in motion doesn't cost
that much it's comparably priced to all the

other web hosting companies is just a few
dollars per month and I wanted to throw out

some information about some of the other web
hosting companies and give you some things

think about now some of the more well known
web hosting companies there actually complete

and utter disasters so I'm talking about host
gator talking about blue host those are the

two most well-known web hosting companies
but the two most epic disasters in web hosting

companies host gator their servers are very
overloaded your site is gonna run very very

slow and the support is very poor blue host
has a lot of hacking problems that because

they have and in secure infrastructure and
the way works is your website get attacked

into because the server gets hacked into because
they don't have the best security protocols

this hacking happens you get an email from
blue host saying your websites been hacked

for taking it down you can give us $300 to
fix it for you and that is like it's a disaster

just a disaster and really the problem is
these hosting companies and about 40 other

hosting companies are all owned by the same
parent company what they do is they buy web

hosting companies and then they get rid of
all the support and they kinda fold it all

into this parent company and it just ends
up ruining these experiences with these hosting

company so that's why Golden motion I'm trying
to avoid anything DIG related I use host gator

and I use blue host and it's been lousy for
boast images also add dream host that the

dream house is probably one of the worst I'm
so anyways I just want to put that out there

I don't want to really say disparaging remarks
about any company or any product but web hosting

is huge it is so important and you're going
to have a lousy websites this is in terms

of speed and insecurity if you make the wrong
decision and there's a lot of bad information

out there and I just wanted to just let you
know that so please consider your getting

a new and motion hosting account in a fury
on blue host Earls gate or any of those they

will migrate you to in motion for free so
it was just a few dollars per month and I've

got a special link it's in the below in the
if you watch this on YouTube I really don't

below to it in the the notes for the video
and if you're my website I got links all over

the place you click through on my link emotions
getting give you a 38% discount on your web

hosting account and I got something special
that I also had I have a series of courses

on my website that I call the WordPress Masters
course and essentially it's every course that

I sell on my website and my courses range
from $47 a course up to $297 per course and

I package them together as well in this Masters
course and right now you can exit by the Masters

course if you want it's $297 per year to get
that however if you get a motion hosting him

and to give you access for free all you need
to do is click through the link from my link

on my website order the hosting contact me
with the receipt number I'll look it up and

I'll give you access for free so that is in
motion hosting and all and it's my entire

course library I think already mentioned that
not good with these presentations so there's

only be of four easy steps here in that I
want to go over right now in order to get

your website going working order in a moment
your domain name and order your hosting route

install WordPress we're going to restore this
done for you templates and then after that

Mike already Serena swap out your text and
your images so let's go ahead and hop on the

computer theory on my website and all you
need to do is click on this a recommended

tab right here it takes you herein here's
a list of different themes and plug-ins that

are recommended as well as hosting services
email providers I have it all here these are

the things that I personally use so here's
a link to in motion hosting you just go ahead

and click right here words is click here and
it's can it take you right on over to in motion

hosting and they have these three different
plans and you can look at did the different

benefits of using this service also you can
go ahead and click on any of these are just

click on this and then is to take us to the
ordering grid so you can just choose what

you want the launch plan is can ally doubles
to websites the power plan is can allow you

to launch six different websites in the Pro
plan you can have as many different websites

as you want if you are just starting out you
can start off with the launch plan and you

can upgrade later it's completely up to you
you can see the launch plan can be as low

as 589 per month now I personally use the
probe plan because it does have a little bit

more resources allocated to the account and
it allows you to host unlimited websites so

I have the Pro plan personally someone to
go ahead and just choose one month of the

pro-plan here now it takes us to the next
screen here it does include a free domain

name so if you don't already have a website
domain name that you might of redshirted name

cheaper Go Daddy or something like that you
can register here it's included you might

as well take advantage and you can just enter
the domain name here and if it's taken it

will have you come back until you find one
that is not taken us all to go ahead and click

on this one here this is I already own this
domain and I'll handle the registration separately

so this is where if Yorty have the domain
name registered it's a Go Daddy her name cheaper

any of the different accompanies were you
can register website domain names you just

go ahead right here and put in that domain
name Soma type and show the demo and the continue

and then right here depending if you if you
add one of the lower plans it might give you

another offer to upgrade to the Pro plan but
it's not for me some to go ahead and click

on continue in this Raiders the last step
it's the check out step where you'll go ahead

and just put in your your name and your billing
information and other section right here rinses

content management system auto installer just
do know this is on show you how to install

WordPress you can also click install WordPress
but it might be easier for this tutorial just

say no thanks and then he can put your credit
card information there now you don't have

a credit card and you want to play pay via
PayPal you can contact their live chat and

they will help you make the payment via PayPal
or you can also give him a call if you are

the person wants to call him up you can call
them up in in order your hosting that way

pay for it that way over the phone now one
caveat if you do it via PayPal or if you do

it via the phone can you let them know that
you were referred by WPCrafter.com and make

sure they know that because if you don't tell
him that they won't attribute it to me and

I will be a will to give you the free course
library so if you could do that it helps me

out and also people want to be with people
I prefer to pay for people actually just more

convenient for me and I usually have a PayPal
balance of you need to order it via PayPal

you can do via live chat or you can pick up
the phone and call them up and do it with

a credit card over the phone whatever's more
convenient for you now you place your order

you might get I held up when they might require
a welcome call were they just call you to

welcome you to in motion or they might just
accept your account right away in your can

receive this email from support it in motion
and there's this little box here that you

need to click on it says to get started set
your password here so when you click on that

the email address you used when you place
your orders can be your login when you go

to their site and when you click on this red
button you're going to be up to set up an

account password and this is going to be the
password to use the login and where would

you be able to configure everything now when
you head over to their website you can click

on AMP login and when you get to that just
enter your email address you used on your

account and that password that you just created
and then click login you can see I'm logged

into my account right now and the next step
is to go ahead and click right here where

it says cPanel now cPanel is abbreviation
for control panel in this is where you do

everything that involves your websites where
you can create email address is this is where

we can install WordPress this is aware everything
pretty much is so now that you're logged in

I want you to scroll down to the very bottom
and you're going to see it say word press

right here go ahead and click on that this
could take you to this page were just give

you a little bit of information about WordPress
and all we need to do is click on this button

here this is install and then we just need
to simply feel this out and to show you how

to do that cir'e9 surgery to see your domain
name that you use that you ordered when you

order the hosting account or that you use
when you order the hosting account and then

right here it's his protocol this to choose
if it's good to be www.or not it's better

to have it there I always use it there some
technical reasons why you want to do that

and that's what I'm recommending to you another's's
temptation to not have the WW W and then it

shorter it's a completely up to you though
in directory 110 leave that blank for database

name you can leave that as what is listed
table prefix leave that as well for your site

settings just leave this the default the site
description originally that default now work

were worse is the username and password the
way this process is gonna work ER signatures

username and password with them will restore
this done for you template your have to reset

it anyways so it's completely up to you what
you put here now you typically want to have

a strong password and never for your username
you want to use admin or administrator or

something really obvious so you can choose
your username and your password by working

actually have to reset that once we restore
this completely done for you template such

wanted to throw in that caveat so go ahead
and put in a username and password and then

put an email and this is going to be that
notification email that there is that WordPress's

can use whenever they need to notify you of
anything but as well this is going to be need

to be reset once we restore this done for
you template you can choose your language

and our right here I wouldn't enable this
limit login attempts and then going to expand

here where it says advanced options there's
some options here that are actually pretty

nice so auto upgrade is nice so it can automatically
upgrade WordPress for you in this right here

will this text box here will be to upgrade
WordPress plug-ins and WordPress themes right

here and will do this automatically for you
I would suggest doing that you definitely

want to be running the latest code on your
website in cases ever security vulnerability

that is discovered this will make sure that
it's always up-to-date without you having

to keep logging in and updating things and
I see how the process works are updating is

covered in some my other videos that you can
take a look at some going to fill this out

now and then I'm in a click on the install
button one quick caveat if you're doing this

from a brand-new in motion account when you
click on the install button it's probably

get a kick you back in its gonna say there's
some files in the directory don't worry about

that there'll be a checkbox that you click
on that will say delete any files that are

there also don't get worried when you see
that it's not can happen for me because I

know there's no files in their summer to go
ahead and fill this out and then click on

install myself okay what you click the install
button year to see this here is just going

through the installation process and this
makes it so easy and is one of the benefits

of in motion is that literally you just install
WordPress and it was that easy so here's our

links now to the WordPress site so this is
the link to your domain name and this is the

actual login page some go ahead and click
on that login page and it's going to prompt

me to log in and so all you hear is you type
in your username you just created and the

password you just created and then click on
remember me doesn't matter and then let's

just log in so you have literally just installed
WordPress and you are logged into WordPress

so now what were the dues were to head over
to my website working to download the done

for you template or just to restore it and
what I showed you in the beginning of the

video you're gonna have live on your website
and I just had on over to my website go ahead

right here in click on words is done for you
templates I just clicked on it it now loaded

so quick and you're good to see all of my
60 minute website challenges right here now

if I change the structure of my website llama
in its been like a year and I changed some

things around don't worry I've got a help
section right here and you can just go there

and click on the help section and find anything
that might have been moved I also have live

chat I also have a contact form there's lots
of ways to ask me but please check out on

the help there if I didn't move this done
for you template around or if I change the

naming of things or anything like that seriously
right here is just how to create an online

coursework membership websites and then when
you click on it it'll take you to page like

this although it's probably do look a little
different but will be similar enough and then

scroll down and you'll see this very large
button that says click here to download the

resource files now some people that might
be using an ad blocker in their web browser

might not see this and I can help you you
just gotta disable the ad blocker I don't

have any ads on my website just you know but
for some reason those ad blockers sometimes

depending on what someone is done to the configuration
blocks this box and I can tell you how many

times people emailing me say where I downloaded
so if you have blogger please just disable

your ad blocker now when you click on this
it has is real fancy little pop up next to

she had to do fancy pop-ups like this so anyways
I was putting your name and your email address

and then click on get instant access you will
receive an email from me usually instantly

maybe within five minutes but it's usually
pretty instant of so you can just go over

to your email and there's going to be a linkages
can it it's good to be the only link in the

email and when you click on that link it's
going to go ahead and download the resource

file to your computer in case let me show
you what that resource files can look like

it's a zipped file you need to know how to
unzip a file now if you're using a Mac and

have the Safari web browser most likely cannot
unzip it for you which is pretty convenient

if you're on a PC Windows will has its own
unzipping way of doing things and if you don't

Ottomans it just go to YouTube and type to
unzip something and I'm sure you'll be up

to figure it out and you you don't want to
be doing this on an iPad or a tablet cousin

on iPads you can unzip things so if you're
on an iPad in your asking me to help you I

really can help you you gotta do this on a
computer so anyways when you unzip it you

should have a new folder that's a 60 minute
website challenge and at the time of this

recording I just have this one file in these
two folders that might change if I want to

put some more information in there she got
instructions text file in the folder that

says restore file and resources so the restore
file is really what we are after in working

to use to restore this done for you template
but I have a really cool resources file here

is a text file is can give you links to websites
there, free resources and I also have this

instruction file that will have some of the
info that I'm going over right now just in

case you wanted it in a written form but what
really*after is this restore file right here

now don't don't worry if when you unzip it
it has a different name than what you see

right now if it's in that folder it's the
restore file now when we go to restore this

make sure you don't just drag-and-drop the
whole zip file it has to be unzipped so go

ahead and restore this now so I'm in a go
over to WordPress we were should already be

logged in just go to plug-ins and then add
new and we need to install a plug-in called

all in one migrator actually I think I might
be saying that wrong all-in-one migration

WP migration you should see it right here
so go ahead and click on install now and then

click on activate plug-in so now this plug-in
is installed on the site and you have this

new option here on the left this is all in
one WP migration my balls for second don't

worry if you're in WordPress for the first
time you like I don't even know what the heck

any of this stuff is I've got a full beginner's
course it's free no registration required

to go to my website and this could tell you
what all this stuff is so dull don't feel

overwhelmed even if you are just try not to
and just know that I've got you covered no

go here and I'm a click on import and then
we need to just drag-and-drop that file right

here so here's the file and I'm dragging and
I'm dropping it right there and you should

see this screen know what it's doing is it's
taking this file and its uploading it to your

WordPress website so if you have a slow Internet
connection this might take a moment I have

a pretty decent Internet connection he could
see sortie 20% of the way but if you have

a slow Internet connection and might take
a minute or so for you to see it or if you're

using really crummy web hosting he didn't
go with emotion you might also run into some

additional delays in problems that's why I
suggest going with in motion I know it's going

to be butter smooth and you're not to have
problems and it sometimes is worth making

a change or getting a hosting account with
them just for the simple fact that this could

be a very smooth process so now is preparing
the file to be imported it's extracting everything

and then right here it's giving us a warning
now listen up by doing this anything that

is in your WordPress website to get wiped
out your user account your content everything

this is a fresh installation for WordPress
for us so it's not a big deal but if you have

an existing website a WordPress website you
got all kinds of content and you go through

this process is gonna delete everything you
not to want to do this to an existing website

this is for new websites we haven't done anything
to it yet because it's gonna wipe everything

out so I just want preface I've had people
that are not paying attention to what I'm

saying and then they've done this and they've
deleted everything and they're coming back

to me saying how can I get my website back
and there's nothing I can do so anyways all

we have to do is click on continue it's giving
you the morning to make sure you read it some

of the go ahead and click on continue and
so now what is can a dues it's good to take

all the information in the archive file and
it's going to restore its gonna take all the

images that I had in it all of the custom
code it's can place it in there and then what

we need to do is just follow one or two simple
steps and this installation will be complete

now remember the username and password to
WordPress that you set just a moment ago that

is part of that process of it's good to get
wiped out so you're not any use that right

now so the import is done go ahead and click
on close now when you click on anything it's

can it take you out of the site so by click
on dashboard receipts can kick me out and

put me back at the login now let me tell you
what this login is it's also one that instructions

file if you just wanted to copy and paste
it across the username is 60 minute website

challenge with no spaces the password is DF
why that since were done for UDF why the@symbol

WPCrafter.com there's no.com so it is DF why
the pad symbol WPC are a FTE are it's also

in that instruction file K Sonoma going click
on remember me I'm in a log in and I'm not

to save this the password and here we are
we are now logged into the site for the first

time so there's a couple follow-up steps that
we need to do we need to go to settings and

then we need to go to where it says permanent
links to go to settings and then permit links

and then you should scroll down and click
save changes this just reset something that's

important to WordPress for to work properly
so now we've gone ahead and weave reset our

permanent links now I need you to replace
your email address in a couple places it's

pretty important so the first one is if we
go to settings and then general right here

I need to put your email address if not these
emails are to come to me and I don't want

these update emails or notifications and especially
the site like this where you want to notification

of someone's registered to a a program or
something like that I don't want these notifications

I want you to get these notifications so you
can go here and put your email address and

I'd appreciate it can also set your time zone
while you're at it is also warrior to change

the site title and things like that so just
go there please do that and then change it

so the second place is in lifter elements
go ahead and click there and then click on

engagements and this is where the plug-in
that facilitates delivering these courses

and keeping everything organized this is a
vote can use when it's emailing your students

things like hey congratulations for joining
the coarser hey we haven't seen you in a couple

days are a you just completed that lesson
great job this is where it's going to pull

that that sender email address you want to
put your email address here in the name of

the sender so that's one when an email goes
out to you want to say your name the website

name or whatever this is where you're going
to go ahead and put that information in so

please change that there is well now there's
one more thing we need to do and will be ready

to start customizing this and that's the go
to users and you're only to see this one user

right here 60 minute website challenge we
need to go ahead and change the username so

you don't have to have that crazy long username
working to change that to what you want were

a changes email to what you want in order
to change the password so changing the email

and password is super easy all you have to
do is click on the username and you can scroll

down put a nickname here so you might want
it to be your name that use it down here in

the list so for me if I did add a you like
to do Adam at WP crafter like that that's

all I like to format things and then you'll
see it now on this list change out the email

address and then when you scroll down here's
a box it's a generate password and when you

click on it WordPress wants to give you a
secure password than what is his crazy password

so you can go ahead and enter your password
in but just know you want to put a strong

password that's one where there might be an
extra character or something along those lines

don't use password as your password to use
the website name as your password to just

go and put that in so if I wanted to do to
put a password like that you can type it and

sometimes if it doesn't think your password
is long enough you get this checkbox here

this is confirm use of weak password so basically
to responsibility anyways you just check that

scroll down and click on update profile so
that's good to change the password masking

to change the email and also the nickname
and things of that nature now what we need

to do is we need to change this username as
you don't want to be typing in this crazy

long username someone to show you how to do
that so go into plug-ins some to leave the

page that in saving you want to plug-ins and
there's a plug-in I've added down here called

username changer so we just need to go into
users and words his username changer after

you use this you can deactivate and delete
this plug-in better be fine so your username

changer and in this drop-down choose the username
and we only have one user account click on

it and just enter what you want the new username
to be so if you wanted to be John Smith just

type John Smith it's a simple as that and
then click on save changes now when you do

that it's gonna boot you out in your have
to login now using this new username and using

that password you created remember don't use
admin though use WordPress don't use administrator

don't use these obvious usernames okay so
just make sure you use a unique looking user

name and so that is changing the username
now depending on when you install this whole

package you might see that there's an update
available so you can see right here it is

one that means there's an update available
and when you see this one next to plug-ins

that's when you know it's actually a plug-in
that needs an update so this is how you update

plug-ins you can just click on plug-ins like
that and you can click update now and from

time to time these different plug-ins will
need updates or you can go to dashboard updates

if you have more than one and you can just
do a checkbox and check them all saucer you

all you gotta do is click on the checkbox
and then click on update plug-ins or if it's

themes and that's a keep things update updated
I want to encourage you to please keep things

updated it's important for security and also
for new features and speed improvements and

stuff like that so so now we completed this
first update now we just need to clean a couple

items out of your sight that you're good and
that you're not can it needs to go to appearance

and then themes and this is the themes that
are powering your site so these first two

you do not want to delete it's these other
ones you do you're probably see 2015 if you

click on theme details you'll see the delete
button on the bottom right and then he just

need to confirm it in order to do that for
the 2014 theme click on delete and then click

on okay and there were to do the same thing
for the 2016 theme right click on that and

there were gonna delete it in the wording
click okay so now we cleaned out our themes

take a look at our plug-ins to see what we
don't need let's check on ask Matt let's check

on hello Dolly we don't need those so I've
checked them both in a minute choose the leaks

and then I'm a click on apply no those are
going to be gone now there's two more plug-ins

that you can decide if you want to keep one
of them is this all-in-one migration you might

want to deactivate it since we boarded on
the migration you really don't need it and

then if you did change the username you can
deactivate username changer let's check the

both of those and then let's go ahead and
choose delete and apply now so now those are

deleted so now to go ahead and take a look
at the front end of the website and if we

did all this right it should look identical
