Learn How To FTP WP Plugins To Your Website Hosting Account

The next step after installing Wordpress on your domain is uploading your plugins

If you're trying to make money online and do affiliate marketing for eBay Partner Network you'll eventually have to learn how to make your own website. Personally, I use Wordpress because it's easy to use and doesn't require any fancy programming skills.

I use BlueHost for my web hosting and have had good luck with them!

After you buy your domain name, set up your own hosting account (personally, I use BlueHost.com - if you buy through my affiliate link I'd be happy to give you a hand!), install Wordpress on your domain you'll have to upload your plugins to your domain.

In this Video Tutorial You'll learn how to upload your plugins to your web host

In the YouTube video tutorial below I'll teach you exactly what steps you need to take to download the plugins from Wordpress.org and upload, or "FTP" them to your web hosting account using Filezilla. The first time you do this you might find it a bit tricky. But, once you get the hang of it you'll be able to upload files in your sleep!

Please let me know if any of the steps confuse you or if you have any questions in the comments section!

Really useful this, I use Wordpress for a few of my sites and have constantly had trouble uploading plugins! A proper video guide is most helpful!

Thanks

Really love your videos and tips on wordpress matters, but I don't know if this was a recent update, but you now can install directly trough your admin page, in the "plugin/add new" section. Don't know if it works for all (surelly only the "official" ones) but it does make our life easier.

cheers

Is there a written version? It's too fast for me to remember all the steps or write it all down without replaying it over and over.
