Instal Plugin
Apa plugin?
Plugins – as the name suggests are tools that add functionality to your WordPress blog. The best thing which I like about WordPress is – these plugins.
Plugins can turn your site from a simple blog to a fully-featured e-commerce store, a user forum, a video streaming site, a member’s only site, and much more. Of course, you can combine most of these plugins together to add huge functionality to your blog.
Contone, yen sampeyan nggunakake situs WordPress kanggo adol produk kanthi online, bisa uga migunani kanggo nambah forum kanggo dhukungan.
Yen sampeyan pengin nambah fungsi ing situs WordPress, goleki plugins sadurunge goleki nggawe dhewe / mbayar developer kanggo nindakake.
Nginstall plugins gampang, bagian sing angel milih apa plugins sing pengin dipasang. Ana ewu plugin kasedhiya gratis, ana uga plugin premium sing kasedhiya.
Where I can find more WordPress Plugins?
Kaloro sumber daya paling apik ing internet kanggo Plugin WordPress yaiku:
1. WordPress.org – Tons of free plugins! But beware – some of the plugins are demo versions of the paid ones. Still, it’s a good place to find what you are looking for.
2. CodeCanyon – Home to some of the best plugins on the internet. Although they are paid, they offer really good value for money. I usually get my plugins from here.
Lan ana sawetara kaluwihan kanggo mbayar plugin sing dibayar CodeCanyon:
- You get 6 months of free support from the plugin developer. So, if something is not working, you can approach the plugin developer via CodeCanyon lan dheweke bakal ndandani kanggo sampeyan. Apa maneh, sampeyan bisa nglanjutake dhukungan babar pisan 12 wulan kanthi mbayar ragad nominal.
- Plugins kualitas apik, kanthi dititi kanthi tliti CodeCanyon. So, there are no chances of any malware in them. I had a bad experience in the past when I bought some free plugins from some random site.
Sawise sampeyan wis mutusake plugin ing ngisor iki cara nginstal.
Cara Instal Plugin WordPress
Langkah 1. From the Admin Dashboard select Plugins -> Add New
Langkah 2. Goleki plugin sing pengin, utawa upload yen sampeyan duwe file kasebut
Langkah 3. Klik Instal, lan wenehi sawetara menit kanggo nginstal, luwih gedhe plugin kasebut luwih dawa sing bakal diinstal.
Langkah 4. From the Plugins -> Plugins page activate your plugin, depending on the plugin you are using you may then be prompted to fill in some additional settings.
Here are some of my favorite Plugins:
Plugin gratis:
- Contact form 7 (Free)– This is a simple free email contact form for your blog. It’s easy to set up, always works, and doesn’t take up much space!
- Askimet (Gratis) - Yen sampeyan malah nimbang ngidini komentar ing blog WordPress sampeyan, butuh plugin spam komentar Askimet. Plugin iki kanthi nyuda jumlah komentar spam sing bakal sampeyan entuk.

- BackupGuard (Paid) – It’s too easy to accidentally break your WordPress blog when installing a 3rd Party Plugin or theme, make sure you always duwe serep. And this plugin does just that. It’s a lifesaver!
Cara golek Dhuwit saka Blog sampeyan
Now that you have your WordPress blog nicely set up, with some content, a tema WordPress lunyu, and some great functionality added by Plugins it’s time to monetize your blog! There are two core methods to for making money from your blog, and everything boils down to these
Nggabung:
Affiliate marketing is where you promote other company’s products directly and earn a commission from any sales made.
For example, say you have a football blog, you could add affiliate links to football boots in your posts and make a commission off any boots sold, typically this would be 5 – 15%.
Ana atusan skema pemasaran afiliasi ing njaba, sampeyan kudu riset iki gumantung karo ceruk sampeyan, sampeyan bakal kaget pira perusahaan duwe rencana. Amazon offers one of the most popular ones, it’s easy too!
Add special affiliate links to ANY product on the Amazon and make a commission of 4 – 10%. Amazon may not be the best paying site (this will vary wildly depending on the niche of your blog), but they do offer a HUGE range of products.
Adverts
Adverts are simple, got spare space on your blog, place an advert, often you will find these placed in the sidebar and within the content of any articles. Adverts can generate anything from $0.05 to $5 per click depending on the niche of your blog.
Google AdSense is the de facto online advertising company, simply fill in a 2-page signup form and you can start serving adverts to all your visitors. You don’t have to talk directly to companies to sell your advertising space.
Google’s advertising pay-outs differ massively from niche to niche, a highly competitive niche like credit cards, insurance, loans, etc.. will pay higher than less competitive ones.
Iki amarga sifat pengiklan sing tuku supaya bisa dipasang iklan, ing blog iki luwih populer 'blog' kanthi luwih sampeyan bisa entuk.
Typically, you might expect something like a 0.5 – 3% click-through rate, i.e. the number of your visitors who actually click on the adverts.
Kombinasi apik kanggo loro strategi biasane dianjurake.
Langkah sabanjure
Now that your WordPress blog has been set up and you’ve monetized it’s time to start expanding and really pushing your blog.
Here are my top tips going forward:
- Jadwal konten reguler, you won’t always be in the mood to write content, use the built-in post scheduler so you can write multiple posts when you feel like it while still allowing regular content to flow. Articles every few days are better than 5 on the same day. Here is another Solusi otomatisasi WordPress.
- Sinau kabeh babagan SEO (search engine optimization) that you can, this is a huge topic, you will never fully learn it, but the more you know the more successful blog will be.
- Terus positif, your blog will unlikely blossom overnight, it takes months of hard work, but in the end dedication and good content pays off.
Good luck and start blogging!
