<p>What if you could have a bunch of robots working together helping you with your <span style="color: #333399;"><strong>online marketing</strong></span> campaigns?<span style="color: #333399;"> You can when you use a <strong>Wordpress Blog.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333399;"><strong><span style="color: #ff6600;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">&#8220;After</span>&#8220;</span> You Have Completed This Video, Head Over To <a title="Website Traffic Generating Plugins" href="http://brad-sonya-dark.com/driving-traffic/traffic-generating-plugins-for-wordpress/" target="_blank">Website Traffic Generating Plugins </a><br />
</strong></span></p>
<p>Simply follow our video training module below where we show you <span style="color: #333399;"><strong>How To Set Up A Wordpress Blog.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333399;"><strong> <a href="http://brad-sonya-dark.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/article-submission2.gif"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-424" title="Wordpress Theme" src="http://brad-sonya-dark.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/article-submission2.gif" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a><br />

<h2><span style="color: #333399;">The Power Of  Wordpress.</span></h2>
<p>Imagine your car has a broken gearbox and its stuck in first gear, you can still drive it but wherever you go its going to be  painfully slow, not to mention the fuel or gas costs in getting there. If your still using a normal type website (HTML) and trying to <span style="color: #333399;"><strong>make a living online</strong></span>, then your driving a car with a broken gearbox and you need to upgrade.</p>
<p>This doesn&#8217;t mean that the <span style="color: #333399;"><strong>website </strong></span>you own now is obsolete, it just means that you need to set up a <span style="color: #333399;"><strong>Self  Hosted Wordpress Blog</strong></span> and use your blog as the centerpiece of all your marketing campaigns. <span style="color: #333399;"><strong>Wordpress</strong></span> is an awesomely extremely <span style="color: #333399;"><strong>powerful online marketing tool</strong></span> and if your not using <span style="color: #333399;"><strong>wordpress</strong></span> then your still in the pits tuning your engine while the race is being run.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s no comparison, if your in <span style="color: #333399;"><strong>MLM</strong></span> or<span style="color: #333399;"><strong> Network Marketing</strong></span> then you absolutely have to use <span style="color: #333399;"><strong>wordpress.</strong></span> I could write an article on the benefits of <span style="color: #333399;"><strong>wordpress</strong></span> at this time but instead, Im just going to tell you a bit about <span style="color: #333399;"><strong>Ping Functions</strong></span> &amp; <a href="http://brad-sonya-dark.com/seo-tips/pings-pinging-ping-list/" target="_blank">Ping Lists</a> then I will show you how easy it is to set up your own <span style="color: #333399;"><strong>Wordpress Blog</strong></span>. We will also develop more training and show you how to make it stimulating and aesthetically pleasing to the eye.</p>
<p>You also need to understand the power of the many, many different <span style="color: #333399;"><strong>plugins</strong></span> and <span style="color: #333399;"><strong>widgets</strong></span> that are available when you use <span style="color: #333399;"><strong>wordpress</strong></span>. A lot of people think that just getting a website up and running will somehow magically bring them the <span style="color: #333399;"><strong>traffic and visitors</strong></span> they want, but soon discover thats it&#8217;s not that easy. To<span style="color: #333399;"><strong> get </strong></span><span style="color: #333399;"><strong>targeted visitors</strong></span> you need to be <strong>posting articles</strong>, updating<span style="color: #333399;"><strong> twitter, facebook, myspace</strong></span> and many other <span style="color: #333399;"><strong>social media</strong></span> sites constantly, getting your site listed multiple <span style="color: #333399;"><strong>directories</strong></span>, using<span style="color: #333399;"><strong> video marketing, mp3 </strong></span>strategies and much more. The<span style="color: #333399;"><strong> plugins and widgets</strong></span> that are available for <span style="color: #333399;"><strong>wordpress </strong></span>allow you to do all this with just a couple of clicks of your mouse, once you have spent the time and set them up correctly that is.</p>
<p>Bottom Line: If your not using <span style="color: #333399;"><strong>wordpress </strong></span>then your still using a kerosene lantern to light your way in the world of <span style="color: #333399;"><strong>online marketing</strong></span>. Watch just how easy it is to get a <a href="http://brad-sonya-dark.com/video/set-up-wordpress/how-to-set-up-your-wordpress-blog/" target="_blank">Wordpress Blog </a>up and running</p>

<p>*******************************************************************************************</p>
<p><strong>We Chose The Wordpress Thesis Them Because It Is So Robust Has Brilliant SEO Functions And Is In Our Opinion The Best Wordpress Theme On The Market Today. </strong></p>
<p>If you would like to purchase the <strong>thesis theme </strong>you can go to the <a title="Thesis Site" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/diythemes.com/?a_aid=ezyfunnelmarketing');" href="http://diythemes.com/?a_aid=ezyfunnelmarketing" target="_blank">Thesis Site</a> . There is a very good support forum, with exceptional service if you run into trouble.</p>
<p>You will be presented with two options which are;</p>
<p>1: Personal  <strong>$87USD</strong></p>
<p>2: Development <strong>$164USD</strong></p>
<p>If you are looking at <strong>purchasing the personal option</strong> and would like the setup done for you: Purchasing the <strong>theme</strong>, uploading it onto your website, changing the layout, replacing the header with your own header and  setting up your requested plug-ins  then I provide this service for the a cost of <strong> $120 USD that of course includes purchasing the theme.</strong> Just fill in the form below with your contact details so we can get your website up and running. What you will need for this service is a domain name and a website hosting account. I use <a title="Just Host" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/stats.justhost.com/track?cb22d64129844ac07ecb5bb7bf535e80a');" href="http://stats.justhost.com/track?cb22d64129844ac07ecb5bb7bf535e80a" target="_blank">Justhost</a>, simply because of what they offer</p>
<p><a href="http://brad-sonya-dark.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Just-Host-Plans.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-866" title="Just Host Plans" src="http://brad-sonya-dark.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Just-Host-Plans.jpg" alt="Hosting Service" width="640" height="434" /></a></p>
<p>and another good one is <a title="Host Gator" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/secure.hostgator.com/cgi-bin/affiliates/clickthru.cgi?id=SonyaDark');" href="http://secure.hostgator.com/cgi-bin/affiliates/clickthru.cgi?id=SonyaDark" target="_blank">HostGator</a>, at the time of writing  both of these hosting companies offer very similar services so it really comes down to personal choice .</p>
