WordPress Getting Obsolete or Not

Greet­ings All,

On the other day, I got this “Is Word­Press Get­ting Obso­lete?” email from Gob­ala Krish­nan, the author of Super Affil­i­ate Blog­ger.

Some­one out there is con­cern­ing “every­one” is already using Word­Press, so he thinks that the mar­ket is get­ting “saturated”.

Regard­ing to his con­cern, here are the sim­ple stats that Gob­ala shared with me:

1. More than 3.7 mil­lion peo­ple use the free hosted ver­sion at WordPress.com
2. More than 2.3 mil­lion peo­ple use the self hosted ver­sion at WordPress.org (ver­sion 2.3 stats)

Sum up them together is 6 mil­lion. The num­ber may dis­cour­age you to use Word­Press. How­ever, if just look at the stats alone, they are very MISLEADING because it does not tell you the other side of the story:

1. The thou­sands of aban­doned “ghost blogs” and “spam blogs” on WordPress.com
2. The thou­sands of peo­ple who down­loaded Word­Press mul­ti­ple times.
3. The thou­sands of peo­ple who down­loaded and tried Word­Press but never really did any­thing with it.

Sure, com­pare to one year ago, today, there is still a lot more peo­ple using Word­Press even after you dis­count all above those factors.

Then what is the solution?

Okay, I would like to share with you what super affil­i­ate blog­ger Gob­ala see it,

Word­Press, as a blog­ging plat­form, is matur­ing quickly. As in any rapidly matur­ing mar­ket, there’s a huge demand for experts.

In this case, experts who under­stand how to install, use and cus­tomize the Word­Press soft­ware not only for them­selves but also for others.

Peo­ple already know that Word­Press is good. They are also start­ing to real­ize the impor­tance of blogging.

But they don’t want to do the work them­selves, so where to they go to get an expert that can:

1. Install Word­Press on their servers?
2. Install plu­g­ins and themes for them?
3. Mod­ify tem­plates to match their company’s brand?
4. Help them get traf­fic to their blogs?
5. Man­age their social mar­ket­ing campaigns?

In a mar­ket like this, there are tons of oppor­tu­ni­ties but very lit­tle peo­ple with the exper­tise to cap­i­tal­ize on them.

This is where Alex Sysoeff’s Expert Word­Press course becomes extremely valuable:

In a nut­shell, this course teaches you how to mas­ter the Word­Press blog­ging plat­form. It cov­ers every­thing you need to know to put your­self in the posi­tion of being an EXPERT on the topic.

And every­one knows, an EXPERT can demand higher prices for the same job that every­one else is doing.

So if you want to break into niche mar­kets and make a for­tune by teach­ing oth­ers how to use Word­Press for their home busi­ness or cor­po­rate web­sites, this is the one course you need to get.

Go be an expert now. A highly skilled expert is always more appre­ci­ated than a jack of all trades.

In addi­tion, to help you do bet­ter on your mar­ket­ing, if you haven’t do so, I strongly rec­om­mend you down­load Inte­gra­tion Mar­ket­ing.

It is writ­ten by the num­ber one best-selling author Mark Joyner. It is his new book but it will not be in your local book store until next year. To let you catch up the lat­est mar­ket­ing trend and stay ahead of your com­pe­ti­tion, he is giv­ing away free down­load. You can directly get your own copy here.

Finally, to help you blog­ging bet­ter and become the next blog­ging suc­cess story, Yaro Starak’s Com­pre­hen­sive Pri­vate Blog Mas­ter­mind Coach­ing Pro­gram will help you get there.

Till next time — happy pro­mote and prosper

Cheers
