4. What is word press?
Word press is simply contain management system
(CMS).
This wasn’t the case though some ten year ago when
word press was just a blogging platform .
Today besides blogging, you can use word press to
build and run powerful website of all demeanor.
5. WordPress is Fast & Secure
While hackers will always to find loopholes to exploit, WP makes their job
the harder. The CMS is built with the best code standards to make it fast and
impregnable in terms of security.
The platform receives regular updates aimed at improving the code as well
as seal security holes.
Furthermore, you can bolster the security of your WordPress site easily using
services such as blogVault and plugins such as iThemes Security.
WordPress comes with the best spam protection as well. Akismet is a leader
in this area.
6. WordPress is Search Engine Friendly
WP is built with the best web standards. The source
code is clean and valid HTML, meaning search
engines will pine for your site Romeo-Juliet style.
Other than that, WP supports meta data, tags,
categories, SEO-friendly URLs, and so much more
including SEO plugins.
7. WordPress is Scalable
What can’t you possibly throw at good ol’ WP? You can build a simple blog for
ze family, launch a multi-million dollar e-store, create a news site such as the
Time or build a popular social network, and WordPress won’t give in. Even if your
website grows ten times, a hundred times more!
I’m yet to encounter a single person who dropped WordPress because scalability
became an issue. WordPress is highly flexible and scalable, and don’t let anyone
convince you otherwise.
Your web server might have limitations, so ensure you have a great host before
you think of throwing out WordPress. After all, it has minimal requirements.
8. What is: WordPress.com
WordPress.com is a propriety blog hosting service provider. WordPress.com is not
directly related to WordPress.org which is home of the most popular open source
CMS software, WordPress. Even though WordPress.com blog hosting service uses
WordPress at its core, there are several limitations to WordPress.com.
You cannot install plugins on your WordPress.com site which is one of the best
features of using WordPress. We have heard from many users who switched from
WordPress.com to a self-hosted WordPress.org site because they did not want to
be limited in terms of what they could do with their site.
You also cannot use custom themes on WordPress.com. On top of all that, you are
limited in terms of monetization. You cannot use ad platforms like Google Adsense
on your WordPress.com site to make money from it.
9. WordPress.com versus WordPress.org
Quick fix: WordPress.org is the site where you can download WordPress, and a
slew of free themes and plugins. You can learn more about the WordPress
project and keep up with the grapevine on the many mini-sites.
On the other hand, WordPress.com is a service that gets you started with a free
WordPress-based blog in no time. Yes, you get a free blog but the features are
relatively limited and less flexible than what you’d get with the flavor of
WordPress at WordPress.org.
WordPress.com will offer you a .wordpress.com subdomain (e.g.
wpkube.wordpress.com) but you have to pay for a personalized domain (e.g.
www.wpkube.com) should you need one. The WordPress you install yourself
grants you all the awesome WP features but, as we’ve already mentioned, you’ll
need to purchase your own domain name and web hosting
10. How to Make Money with WordPress
When it started as a simple blogging platform, it was difficult to imagine you could make
money with WordPress.
Here’s a quick list all the same:
1)You can make money developing and selling premium WordPress themes, plugins,
add-ons, scripts, and widgets.
2)You can make money blogging and creating content on WP e.g. blogs, eBooks,
courses.
3)You can make a killing promoting WordPress products i.e. themes, plugins, add-ons,
widgets, books, managed WordPress hosting among others.
4)You can make money providing WordPress technical support.

sponsored content.
