The WordPress Business Encyclopedia, FREE Edition, is a preview of WP Academy's A-Z video training for creating an attractive website, promoting it with the full power of email marketing, SEO, social media and online video, and finally monetizing it with a shopping cart or membership system. It is designed for busy small-business owners, self-employed professionals and others who want to quickly master web technologies for the purpose of creating additional income sources through the web. It has also been used to start successful WordPress webmastering businesses, and by social media consultants to add valuable web design skills to their service portfolio.

WP Encyclopedia FREE contains our popular "WordPress Essentials for Business". This course was first published to Udemy in early 2013, and became an instant hit, attracting 1400 students and 40+ four- and five-star reviews. You can read the Udemy reviews for "WordPress Essentials" to give you a flavor for the style of teaching, and you can review the WP Encyclopedia table of contents to see the breadth and depth of coverage. Quite simply, there is no other course on the internet that gives you so much practical and directly actionable information in such a brief time to create an effective, business-oriented website.

If you enjoy the free course, you can upgrade to the WordPress Business Encyclopedia 2014, Full Version at a modest cost. It contains 7 additional short courses, including "WordPress Theme Selection and Customization" course which will show you, in under two hours, how to create a professional-looking website which may be indistinguishable from a site created by a professional designer which cost you $2000 or more. The remaining modules will show you how to hook up your site to newsletter management systems, search-engine optimization, shopping carts and membership systems, social media, online video, and more. Regardless of your paid status, all the text-based tutorials and review articles are included in WP Encyclopedia Free (only the Modules 2-8 videos are paid).

As a bonus, WP Encyclopedia Free includes 18 webinar recordings from WP Academy's popular "WordPress Virtual Summits", a technical reference section covering hosting and moving WordPress sites, setting up e-mail accounts for your domain, tutorials on creating attractive graphic headers using free tools, and more.

Note: The WordPress Business Encyclopedia 2014 (Full Version) is currently in active development through crowd-funding, but it already includes 240 topics and 170 short videos covering all aspects of creating a professional-looking, lead-generating website. Because we are working on expanding this content between now and July 2014, we are publishing the app now for a significant discount to its final price. By donating to our project now, you lock-in your price while benefiting from all future updates as they get published to Apple store.
