Joomla Video Tutorials-Learn Joomla in 5 Easy Steps

[Muhammad Jalloh]

“Watch and Learn How A Total Non-Techie, Design-Challenged Joomlaphobe Went from Designing Static HTML Websites to Creating, Designing and Managing Various Types of Joomla Websites in 5 Easy Steps”

No, I did not do it in a week. It took me a few months to figure out how Joomla really works and how to harness the creative, design and flexible power of this Content Management System to really create, design and manage my own Joomla websites.

But now you can avoid the steep learning curve that comes with using Joomla. It is a guarantee.

Hi Fellow Warrior,

My name is Muhammad Jalloh and I am the creator of the “Joomla Websites Unleashed” set of Joomla video tutorials.

But like you, I was not always comfortable working with Joomla. In fact, a year ago I was totally Joomlaphobic. Like thousands of other webmasters who have heard of it, I just couldn’t stand it. But necessity drove me to it and patience helped me to bear its steep learning curve.

Here’s how it all began…

It was January 1st, 2008. I was up early in the morning and going through the threads of a forum that I had become addicted to in the past 3 years-the Warrior Forum. And there was a fresh thread in there by an Australian gentleman (Andrew Cavanagh ) about how to make money offline by offering your web design and SEO services to local businesses.

In the days that followed, I became glued to the thread as that monster of a thread became loaded with a zillion contributions from other freely-sharing members. Other related threads followed, including some on creating and managing local portals. Various suggestions were made regarding the use of various web design tools, including blogging systems like Wordpress and CMS platforms like Joomla.

Joomla seemed to have been the most favored in terms of features, power, functionality and flexibility for use in creating and managing both simple and sophisticated sites. But everyone was also unanimous in their opinions that Joomla, though a monster of a CMS, was also a nightmare to learn how to work.

The promise of what could be (financially) by having my own local portal and offering my design services seemed realistic…

…except that I could only design static websites with HTML editors

Here I was, a fulltime college student, working to make a living, doing my own little online marketing and the meager income that came with it.

But if I was to be able to realize what the aforementioned threads promised, I had to polish my web design skills…seriously.

So, I was stuck with Joomla. I invaded Youtube, learned with flash tutorials scattered all over the web and finally, after a few weeks, put up my first Joomla site using the Joomla 1.0 version.

A few weeks later, I realized that 1.5 was actually the latest version. But most of the tutorials online were still about 1.0. So, I had to bruise my way through the interface until I finally figured it out.

By November of last year, I had my own:

• Local Joomla community portal, with its own in-built business directory

• Joomla article directory

• Real estate website

• Books site (that was hacked in the middle of the year L [a vital part of my learning experience])

• And a couple of others

…all built with the Joomla CMS.

I had become pretty comfortable working with the platform.

But I also realized that there were many others who believed in the potentials of the Joomla CMS, but were mostly turned off because of the steep learning curve that comes with it.

So, I Decided to Help Demystify The Art of Creating, Designing And Managing Your Own Dynamic, Powerful And Secure Joomla Websites.

And that was how “Joomla Websites Unleashed” was born.

In a nutshell, here’s what you get to learn in these Joomla video tutorials.

Part One: The Basics

This is where you are introduced to the Joomla Content Management System. Here, we will demystify the Joomla CMS.

For a start, here is the video on how to install Joomla using Fantastico.

YouTube - Install Joomla on Your Website Using...

In Part One of “Joomla Websites Unleashed” you will learn:

• What Joomla really is, what types of websites you can build and manage with it and why it is much more flexible and powerful than any other Content Management System out there.

• How to easily install Joomla from your hosting account’s Cpanel.

• How to manually install Joomla on your website. This is necessary, especially if you don’t have the latest version in your Cpanel.

• How to configure your Joomla website from the Admin Backend.

• How to setup search engine friendly URLs for your Joomla site.
  
  A Joomla website’s default URL format is a bunch of codes like option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=25 &Itemid=27.
  
  I will show you how to create URLs that look like ‘/joomla-websites-unleashed/’ instead.

• The Joomla Lingo. Understanding the Joomla jargons very early on helps make learning the CMS much easier

Part Two: Content Management in Joomla

In this part of these video tutorials, you will learn how to create and manage content on your Joomla website.

Among others, you will learn:

• How Content is organized and managed in Joomla. Confused about what content sections, categories and items are and how they all relate to and work together. After this first video, you will never be confused again. That’s a guarantee.
  

• How to Create Content Sections

• How to Create Content Categories

• How to Create and Manage Content Items

• How to use RSS Feeds and one other way to create content for your Joomla-based website

By the way, go ahead and watch the video that will demystify for you the content hierarchy in Joomla. Here it is:

YouTube - Joomla Content Management Video Tutorial

Part Three: Setting up Joomla

By the end of this part, you would have mastered how to:

• Install and modify Joomla templates

• Work with different Joomla extensions, including how to copy, disable, enable, install, delete and modify extensions.

• Create and manage menu categories and items for simple navigation and content management in Joomla

• Cleanup your Joomla website to make it a look like a simple one-page mini site.

And for your perusal, here is a video on how to create menu items in Joomla. (Note: The video covering this aspect in the JWU tutorials is much more detailed. But this gives you a hint.)

YouTube - Learn How to Create Menu in Joomla 1.5

Part Four: Joomla Site Management

By the time you are through with the set of videos in this part, you should be able to:

• Create and Manage interactive and powerful polls on your Joomla website

• Create and manage your website users and members

• Setup different types of pages to help with user registration and account management

• Setup a Contact System for your customer service and billing departments or a simple one for your customers to get in touch with you.

Part Five: Personalizing and Polishing Your Joomla Website

In this set of videos, I am going to show you step-by-step how to:

• Create a custom footer for your Joomla website. Learn how to get rid of the default footer that everyone else’s website has.

• Install and configure a “Tell-A-Friend” script on your Joomla website. There is a reason why I chose this particular script. You will agree with me that it is by far the best of them all.

• Enable your site’s users and visitors to be able to recommend any article or piece of content on your Joomla website. I will show you the right script that will do this and how to set it up right.

Part Six: Drawing the Curtains

Yes, our video tutorials are drawing to a close, but first let share with you:

• Some hot SEO tips for your Joomla website. Some of these only apply to Joomla websites; others can be use even for your regular HTML website.

• Joomla Security Tips. One of my Joomla sites (the books site) was hacked a few weeks after I built it.
  
  That taught me a lesson: there is a difference between a creative website designer and a security-conscious site Administrator.
  
  You have already learned how to create, design and manage your own Joomla website. Now, you will learn how to make and keep it secure.

• Plus, some other goodies…

Now, I would like to ask you…

“Would Watching these Carefully Crafted, Chronologically Organized and Very Rich and Vivid Video Tutorials Make a Difference in Your Ability to Create, Design and Manage Your Own or Your Clients’ Websites Effortlessly?”

Personally, I would like to think so, but only you can say so for sure.

But if the topics covered in these video tutorials are what is needed to demystify website design and creation with Joomla, then you are surely making one of the best decisions of your website design career by investing in the “Joomla Websites Unleashed” set of video tutorials.

Now imagine for once…

By this time tomorrow, how many web design clients would you be able to take on? How many top-quality, beautifully designed and secure websites would you be able to build for your niche marketing if you learn how to install and configure Joomla, create and manage content, easily work with extensions, polish your website, boost its interactivity and securely manage it?

What difference would learning how to do all that more make to your web design clientele list, your Internet and niche marketing efforts or even your own personal Joomla websites?

Would you be more knowledgeable about web designing, more confident about your ability to approach other business owners and offering with their website design and marketing?

Would you be able to create more content-rich, search engine friendly, secure and dynamic websites to market and sell your own products, promote your favorite causes or just maintain your own interactive personal sites?

You can bet that “Joomla Websites Unleashed” will make all these mentioned and more possible for you.

But I will still give you the benefit of a doubt.

So, buy “Joomla Websites Unleashed” today and watch the step-by-step video tutorials. And over the next 90 days (yes, that’s three months), if you feel that these video tutorials have not helped you in any way, just send me an email requesting a refund. And I will refund you 100% of your money. No questions asked. Guaranteed.

“Okay, so how much will these video tutorials cost me?”

First, a couple of things here:

• This is the first time I am releasing these video tutorials. So, I definitely need some feedback and testimonials.

• This is the Warrior Forum and this is a WSO; so, you are entitled to special pricing.

• I have a couple of upcoming Joomla video tutorials on how to design and manage different types of specialty Joomla sites, like business directories and membership sites. So, I am not looking to make all my money from “Joomla Websites Unleashed” alone.

To that end, you will be getting this full package for just $27.

Yes, I know that’s very cheap relative to the value that you will be getting.

But I also have a target number of sales that I am looking for before I pull this offer.

Once I have everything ready and put this package on its own site, I won’t be selling these tutorials for anything less than $47. And even at that price, it would still be a steal considering the amount of invaluable you will be getting.

So, if you want to grab your own copy now before it is too late and start learning how to create, design and manage your very own Joomla website, then follow the link below to download your copy now.

One more thing…

…actually two.

• You will be automatically subscribed to the “Joomla Webmaster” newsletter where you will be receiving regular updates and even more free tutorials from me on how to boost the creation, design, management and security of your website.
  
  These updates will be based partly on feedback, suggests and requests from readers of the “Joomla Webmaster” newsletter and partly based on my own convictions of issues in the Joomla world and the art of Joomla website designing that needs attention and elaborate coverage.

• There is a heavily loaded “Resource Manual” that comes with these video tutorials. Here, I will be sharing with you resources where you can access thousands of Joomla templates, even more security tips and how to know whether an extension is safe or poses a security threat to your site before installing it.

And more, of course…

Do you still want to be an in-demand and confident Joomla Webmaster?

To Your Success as a Joomla Webmaster,
Muhammad Jalloh

Muhammad,

That looks a very comprehensive set of tutorials - do you have an example you could let us look at before purchase?

Also do you sell with any rights or are these personal use only, these look to be a great resource to let our customers see once they have purchased a Joomla site.

[Muhammad Jalloh]

Hi ppc4profit,

Thanks for your interest.

As for samples, I will try and upload some to either my site or my Youtube channel before the end of the day. (Thanks for the suggestion )

As far as product rights go, these are just for personal use only.

But I am setting up a very juicy affiliate program for the JWU package. So, yes you would be able to make some money with these tutorials as well.

Thanks once again.

Sincerely,
Muhammad

Muhammad,

No need for rights or examples for me. I'm in the same boat and this is exactly what I am looking for! Going to the forums and doing searches to find out how to do something in Joomla is very time consuming. I've made progress, but it's a lot to try and wrap my brain around. I've been looking for something that shows me how to build a website that looks like the html website I am used to creating. I believe your videos will show me how to do just that.

I've already purchased and just an FYI for everyone else, this is a VERY large download.

Thanks Muhammad, I'm sure I won't be disappointed!

Hi Becky,

Thanks for the purchase.

Yes, it is a very large download. But if people are having problems with it, I don't mind uploading each part separately.

All the best,
Muhammad.

Are there tutorials showing how to build the items above? If so, you've just made $27.

Thanks

Hi Leron,

Joomla Websites Unleashed will cover general aspects of building Joomla sites. This knowledge of the general working of Joomla is necessary for you to be able to build and manage sites with Joomla.

This is why I have spent over 4 hours of video tutorials to help you demystify Joomla and learn how to create and manage sites with it. Please, do check the green headings (Part One, Part Two, etc) in the post above where I reveal the details about Joomla that you will be learning in these video tutorials.

However, the step by step details of how to create and manage business directories, portals, article directories and the like cannot be covered in one package. That is why I will be creating special tutorials where I cover the details of how to go about building and managing such sites.

I hope this answers your question. Please, do let me know if you need any more help.

Thank you.

However i know there are limited/good resources to teach people about joomla - if you would like me to go over your tutorials and leave a review then please contact me.

But regardless i would just like to thank you for trying to show people what a great tool Joomla can be for internet marketing.

Thanks

Hi Jay,

I am not quite sure what you mean. But I remember sending you (upon a similar request of yours) copies of these tutorials for review FOUR months ago.

Am I missing something?

Sincerely,
Muhammad
