You can learn how to setup and use Wordpress in a single day. Watch a few tutorials on YouTube and get started. It's really easy.

I would say yes.

But! It isn't so much a need, in other words a requirement, since you can easily operate in IM using another CMS, as much as it is strongly recommended. WP is the general usage CMS of choice for most IMers.

It does not hurt to learn WP if you need to learn how to install it on your domain you can find free videos how to do it. Make sure you use the WP.org and not the dotcom.

But if you are just going to sell thru e-bay or similar sites you do not need that to start.

Yeah, you should. It's like a standard platform people use when it comes to making money online. It's used is a variety of business models. With that said, it's really easy to use. Oh, when you're learning about Wordpress, make sure you are learning it for the purpose of using it on your own domain.

You can learn wordpress or you can pick any other popular CMS, or you can even learn about web design. Or you can be entirely clueless and use professionals for your projects. It all depends on what you want and the funds you have. But yeah, wordpress is easy and you can create professional looking websites in just a few clicks, so I would learn how to use it.

If you plan on having a website and doing it yourself, then WordPress is the probably the lowest cost and most flexible option which is still easy to learn.
It also allows you to start small and build your site by adding plugins which add features.
At first it seems like a lot to learn but it is easy for most people to understand.

First you should develop a marketing plan and determine if a website is part of that.

If you want to be able to build websites then yes, you should definitely take the time to learn Wordpress. You'll pick it up faster than you think and it will let you make almost any kind of website you can imagine. Wordpress is a lot easier to learn than most other options and it can do more.

Knowing your market is definitely important. Totally agree with you there.

But not having time to learn a few basics that can keep you from relying on outsource sites like Fiverr? That's where we part ways.

What happens when you need to make a simple change that would take a few minutes with some basic knowledge, but the outsourcer says "I can get to it next Tuesday"?

Depending on what the business model is, there may be no need for a CMS at all. If your entire website is a squeeze page, thank you page and success page, all you need is a good html template you can plug your own copy into. Why go through all the hoops, outsourced or not, when a few html pages are far more secure and far faster than going the whole CMS/database route.

Whichever route one takes, my advice is to learn enough to do the simple stuff, and if one is so inclined, hire out the tricky stuff.

John took the trouble to say what I was too lazy to write at the time. And he actually ended up saying far more than I would have done. Newbies - honestly, take on board the above. Spot on it is. You absolutely must learn the basics. And it all boils down to reasons of efficiency.

If you learn the basics:

- You save money on outsourcing;
- You save time waiting on outsourced services;
- Most importantly: you get to realize YOUR VISION.

Last is in bold for good reason. Every one of us is pretty much unique and our unique vision - the way we interpret the business of IM and present that unique interpretation - is often the thing that leads to our success. Think of your favourite actors or directors or novelists or artists or indeed IMers. What attracts us? The unique way they often realize their vision. And don't think you can't do it as a new entrant into IM. But doing it and relying on other people to supply every aspect of it (coding, design, writing, and so forth) is like going to a movie and expecting the Jack Nicholson experience when instead you have Christian Slater in the lead. Bit of a messed up comparison (lol) but perhaps you get my drift. Essentially: that "something special" gets lot in the translation. Sorry, Christian.

When a plugin causes a conflict, or when your site gets hacked, or when you encounter the white screen of death, do you outsource the solution to Fiverr, too?

What exactly do you want to learn about Wordpress? To set up a simple site, it's very simple. It's pretty easy to add plugins and themes too. It might get a little more complicated to modify themes or plugins though.

What you need to know depends on what you plan to do.

There are three levels of modern development:

1. Hand coding and graphic design
2. WordPress (usually with a pre-fab theme)
3. Website generators (squarespace, etc...)

You don't really need to hand code a weightloss ebook site, but you aren't going to operate a very good tech news site through a generator.

Learning Wordpress may take a while but it gets easier the more you use it.

Maybe you can start by registering an account in Wordpress.com. That will help you familiarize yourself with the interface.

From there, you can buy a domain and a hosting and install Wordpress. Contact me if you need the specifics.

Yes, it make sense to learn WP basics. At some point you may need a website or landing page and wordpress is the easiest to get set up quickly.

Things can get complicated when using custom themes and plugins, but by that stage you should get the general idea.

Understand wordpress is essential if you do not have the budget to hire a web designer to build your websites. Besides, there are so many templates and free tutorials out there that make it easy for you to learn.

It takes time to learn but the benefits of mastering wordpress will pay off in the long run.

Hello Karan! I must welcome you if you are new here.
And, definitely you must know how to use wordpress, its a part of all internet and web related stuff.
So, I suggest you to use Youtube tutorials for learning the basics and other techniques. Plus, you can also pick anyother CMS if you like.

Thanks

Hi,
Karan.. to me Wordpress is an extremely good platform for the beginners as well as advanced IMs. It doesn't require much technical skill to build a very good / standard website of your own. You can easily learn how to build website on wordpress within a day from youtube. I love it.

Thanks

WordPress is so easy to use I could teach a really smart monkey how.

If you find the need to build one and you posses an IQ higher then the temperature of the room you are in, you won't have much problem. There are free videos on Youtube covering every conceivable aspect of the process.

Hi karanjain1994, and welcome,

If you're new to internet marketing, it must seem as though there's so much to learn that it's a bit overwhelming just knowing where to start. So, don't rush it!

Perhaps the most important thing to remember is that internet marketing is just marketing that happens to use the internet for communications. If you were opening a traditional retail business, you'd be thinking about your customers and what they need and want; you'd be thinking about what you can offer to fulfil their needs; and you'd be thinking about how you'd get them to buy from you instead of somewhere else. Of course you'd also have to think about what sort of store you should build or buy - but it's those other things that you need to concentrate on first.

When (if) you need to put together a website, and if you need or want to build it yourself, I would agree that WordPress is a good way to start.

I particularly like WordPress's versatility. With all the themes and plugins that are available (and constantly being added to) you can really tailor the look, feel, and behaviour of a site to suit whatever purpose you have in mind.

But take your time - if you want to make your living in internet marketing, first learn your craft.

I wish you success!

Hey karanjain1994,
Listen, Im about Tech illiterate as you can get ( but I have worked on it LOL). And WP is easy to pick up. It will not cost you much time.

After awhile, you will become somewhat of an expert just through soaking stuff up here and there.

It is really not complicated at all

I would highly recommend learning the basics of Wordpress. It is a really simple system that won't take you long to understand, yet the investment will reward you over and over.

Wordpress is so important because the majority of plugins, information and guides are aimed at Wordpress, which means you have support at the click of a button.

You don't need to but it would be a good skill to have if you want to do different things within your Wordpress site.

I like it because you can create a multi-page professional website with it, and not know much about website development. I would say learn it.
