Do you have a great business idea?

Are you wondering how to make your online business idea a reality?

If so, then this course is for you!

I have started several successful online businesses, and I want to show you how I did it. I'm not going to show you how to come up with a great business idea, there are lots of courses out there that do that, I'm going to show you how to actually get your online business idea out of your head and on to the internet. After all, an idea isn't worth a single penny until you act upon it.

The Greatest Deal On Earth

When you buy this course, you get access to several deals for your online business that will more than pay for the cost of the course. You will be able to create as many websites as you want for about $5 per month (regularly $7 per month) and get another $30 off your hosting account on top of that. As if that weren't enough, purchasing this course gives you access to a discount on your web hosting and over $100 in free online advertising with Google, Bing and Yahoo.

What Will I Learn in This Course?

In this course, you will begin by learning how to build your own website with no experience and no coding required using WordPress. You learn how to optimize your site for search engines so you can actually be found online. I will also show you some great free WordPress plugins that will make your website stand out from the crowd and free web apps you can add to your site that will super charge your business.

Along the way you will be learning all the essentials of running an online business from creating e-mail addresses, creating multiple websites, creating site maps, working with your website's files and using free accounting software.

What Kinds of Websites Can I Build?

Any kind you want. You can build e-Commerce sites, blogs, company websites, subscription sites, affiliate sites and more. In the course, you can follow along with me as I show you how I built my latest and greatest e-Commerce website. You will learn so much about how to build websites using WordPress that you will even be able to build websites for other people as a business!

The instructor was great at explaining the concepts to the points but he need to enlarge the fonts on the pages of his demonstrations so that people with limited visibility or poor vision can be able to see the fonts and follow with the lectures.

Your confidence comes from knowledge and experience. After this course I have more confidence in moving to a next level of website building with WP. Ps. I used OnlineshopPro as my template from Acmethemes.com; It worked out nicely. Would like to see more detail on shipping options and inputs; a very confusing process. Very helpful course !

I found this course to be in depth quality training on how to use WordPress and it's many features. The instructor was very informative on other important topics as well. Also, the instructor's voice was very pleasant to listen to; calm, clear and easy to understand.

This course covers a lot of things and great for beginners. The problem is the course is pretty outdated.

Mark is very knowledgeable and is well suited to teaching this course. He is also active in the Q and A section, which is good to know. This is a terrific course to really get up and running with an online wordpress site. Many of the videos are using the newer version look of wordpress, and I found this makes it easier to follow along with than a course that is all the old format. Recommended.

This is one of the absolutely best WordPress course on Udemy; it teaches all you need to know from hosting to running your website. I personally like the links and resources provided with the course. Great job Stoneriver!

Only a few tips that really matters for business. I'm a wordpress theme developer since 2009 and i'm really disappointed with this useless content.

The course deals with some online business matters in addition to WordPress training, which is a plus. The instructor presents the material in a clear, concise manner and the course is just about the right length.

Very impressed, thank you! I've gone through 6 Wordpress courses on Udemy and kept this one til last and this one definitely covers so much in short, little, precise snippets. There is no fluff, just great relevant pointers and nothing is missed. Mark is a lecturer who thinks of all outcomes and strategies and I can honestly say I am glad I left this course to the end. It answers questions and details about Wordpress other courses lacked. Thanks so much Mark for your constructive course! Wordpress may be easy to use but it is all the additives that make your website a success, safe and productive. I had no idea Wordpress could do so much. I have learnt Dreamweaver, and I now think that Wordpress is a great alternative depending on your clients or what you need to use it for.

This course would have gotten 5 stars but I am giving it 3 stars. Even though it was a great course and I learned a lot, one of my pet peeves on Udemy is when you post a question in one of the courses you take sometimes you get a response from instructors and sometimes you don't. On this particular course in Lecture 2 there was a problem, the video did not load so I posted in the discussion part about that problem. Never heard anything from the instructor nor (at the time of writing this review 3 months later) have they fixed the problem. So while the course was great sadly the communication is sub-par.
