Your job now is to become familiar with publishing on the ASC Publishing Platform. You also need to learn how to make minor modifications to Wordpress and learn how to use all of the plug-ins included in Wordpress.

You will learn that some WordPress plug-ins are completely hands-off and others require some learning. All default options are already set and you should not have to do anything besides start publishing.

Protecting Your Site from SPAM – IMPORTANT

Akismet checks your comments against the Akismet web service to see if they look like spam or not. You need a WordPress.com API key to use it. You can review the spam it catches under “Comments.”

Here are your action steps…
1. Learn everything you can about WordPress. It is the backbone of the content management system that our modifications are based upon. There is a ton of information in the ASC forums as well as several videos for you to watch. You can also visit the WordPress site and for additional materials.

2. Start publishing original content. Your goal should be to publish on a regular basis content relevant to your niche. This means every day possible for at least two months. These posts do not have to be a 1000 words long, but should provide value to readers about news (small snippets of 200 words or less) in your niche.

3. Learn about Simple Tagging (A plugin in WordPress) and how to tag your posts in the video training area of the members site. You will want to tag all your posts properly to get the most out of tag engines like Technorati. It is already installed on your system, you just need to know what it does and how to use it.

4. Get your site listed in the blog directories. Claim your blog at Technorati and pick up a copy of RSS Submit for submitting your blog to the major blog directories.

5. Once you have a good cross section of keywords covered (topics you are likely to write about often) set up PheedPress to get your optimized RSS feeds built for your site. This is one of the most crucial parts of your ongoing automated marketing system. It will do exciting things for your site in the engines! Instructions for this are included in the ASC Training Manual in the members area.

6. We are always here to help you with anything you may need. You may visit the ASC Forums or submit a ticket if you have questions. Please remember the forum is for how-to questions and the ticket department is for fixing technical problems.
