Giving Yourself the Best Chance of Success
The first thing that I recommend when getting started is to ensure that you have a good, mobile friendly WordPress theme that you are happy working with. The look and feel of your website is an essential part of building trust with your site visitors. Taking a little time to make your site look good, goes a long way.
Try to find a WordPress theme that fits your niche, looks good on a desktop computer as well as a mobile device. It’s essential that we cater for both desktop and mobile users, since we need as much traffic as possible.
If you are just starting out, I would suggest choosing a standard WordPress theme with a clean, white background.
Fancy looking themes with flashy graphics might look good, but they often run much slower than a more basic theme. Page Speed is something that Google takes into consideration when raking your site. The faster your site loads, the more love Google will give you.

Content is what will eventually drive lots of traffic and sales to your website. So getting it right is essential.

Nice lesson. As I am trying to keep the number of Plugins down I have not put Yoast SEO, perhaps I should try that one and see what they say. As I understand it takes you by the hand while writing your post. I think I will have to try this plugin to see what they say about my writing style etc. Thanks for the tip.
Have a nice Sunday, Taetske
