Now you are almost done. Do remember, however, that your post is in draft form, so don't forget to publish.

If you are ready to publish, check over everything to make sure you have completed everything necessary. Did you remember to choose a category for your post? (Located in the right sidebar.) If all is in place, you can hit that publish button.

Do you have an email list? I use the free version of AWeber. Once my draft is published, I go to my AWeber account and send my post to all my subscribers,

If you have not yet started an email list, I recommend AWeber. It's been a great addition to my tool box.

Now the process is completed, and you can start on the next one.

I publish twice a week -- Wednesday and Sunday -- and have done so consistently since September. Posting twice a week is my personal commitment, as I believe it helps me stay on track.

If you can think of additions to this process, or if you have questions, please include them in the comments. Thank you for reading -- I hope the tutorial has been helpful.

Awesome tutorial Fran. I've always wanted to publish directly from Word Press. Now I know how to do it. This tutorial is very helpful.

Blessings,
Maxine

Oh, so glad it was helpful. My newest challenge is learning the block editor, and am ready to try it directly on the WordPress platfom. Tricky little challenge for me.

Excellent tutorial, Fran. Good idea of keeping your post from being published until you're ready. I publish my content from Site Content to word press and then race to get everything in before its out there too long.
One thing I do at the very last is share new post to social media.
Thanks for taking time to put it all down in a straight forward way.

Yes, I do that, too. Didn't I put it in there? Wonder if I did on the daily, weekly, and monthly tutorial. Thanks for mentioning it. I put a link on Facebook and Twitter.

Hi - the only thing I would mention is to ensure that one of your older posts also has an internal link leading to your new post. This will allow the Google bots to find it quicker and understand the structure of your website.

Jay’s recent training for SEO did suggest two things that I learned. 1. External links in middle of post, that was his suggestion. 2. Embed the video rather than the link itself. Doing that will keep readers on your page not out of it. It came from the hot seat showing other members websites. Kind of cool to see. Fran, great training, that is helpful. The alt text I just learned that one from another training.

Thanks for your comment. I do embed the video. That is more apt to gain watchers, I think. As for external links in the middle of the post, if they fit there, I'll put them there. However, I rather like having references listed at the end.

Fran, it makes sense to me, you can create a Resource page and link to it internal link. I saw a training about that. Jay suggested it because it benefits SEO and the SERPS.

I’m still learning new things. Jay trainings has not been possible for me to attend when I joined January 2019. I am totally Deaf. Without closed captioning, I missed out on a lot of Jay’s weekly trainings. I had to depend on lip reading him and try to catch the visual aspects of the topics. It wore me out. I stopped attending then my health problems rendered me unable to focus on building my niche website.

It was only about last Spring, someone in live chat or in one of Jay’s training live chat mentioned to me that Google Chrome desktop now has closed captioning subtitled option and the guy explained how to get it to work.

I tried it. OMG, my 👀 opened so wide in amazement how wonderful it worked compared to my speech to text app. Thanks to Google Chrome desktop I can attend and watch Jay’s training. This enabled me to start getting my site going after it’s been abandoned due to my health.

This is a game changer for me. I can read everything Jay says verbally. Even watch the replays with the captioning features. Its awesome. Too bad it’s not available for iOS as an app yet.

Looking forward to see more of your future trainings.
