    Sell it. Upload to Amazon as an e-book. You are unlikely to earn much through adsense. Take your time creating it and pack it with high quality content. Include plenty of affiliate links in the e-course too but don't cram it with them! Wishing u well

    Apologies if am wrong, but this seems pretty basic to me, so I would suggest to use as bait to build your list.

    You could give it away for free in the classified ad board in exchange for their email address.

        Use it as a Giveaway to start building a List.

        Then in email follow ups ( a midst good value-content) you could offer things like WP Plugins to sell them as an Affiliate or your own product to help them in their continuing process of a building a Site .

    Hi Yunarel! Congrats!

    Question: how much free, in-depth content do you have floating around out there? Feel free to sell, if you have free stuff for people to chew on, like eBooks, blog posts, videos, etc If not, you can still sell of course; I just like to give away some bait to make the main meal more enticing.

    Onward and upward!

    I think this course is probably a needed one, but the people who are going to host their sites on a free host might not be willing to spend money on a course.

    Perhaps if you created your course to a niche market - "How TO Set Up a Free Website For Knitters" or Poodle Lovers or Duck Hunters or something along those lines, you might find a bit more positive reception to your idea.

    Nothing is free haha, but you can give away a little value and save your heavy hitting stuff for your course.

    Those are not two mutually exclusive options.

    I have a book on wordpress and videos on youtube that compliment the book. All you need is a small line at the end of each chapter along the lines of:

    'to see me do this head over to my youtube channel'

    then in the videos make sure you reference the book include stuff in the book that's not on youtube and include stuff on youtube that's not in the book.

    I found adding videos really helped drive my customers to the aff links in the book.

    At best i make $150 from a $3.99 (sometime free) book.

    If I were you, is start and try to sell it, if it doesn't sell well then use it as a gift to entice people to join a list

    How about you sell it for a low price just to build a buyers list. I know it would do well on Youtube as well but I would test it on the WSO first and see how it does.
