How to add products to your Zen Cart

Adding products to your Zen Cart starts by adding categories first. These separate your products into groups and allows for easy organising of your products or services.

Shopping cart solution?

If you’ve been looking for a cheap way to sell your “stuff” online, then Zen Cart might be the ideal shopping cart solution for you.

I’ve created a series of video tutorials on how to install and configure Zen Cart, and here is the first one:

Want to know how to resize an image?

I have several websites and this site has been a bit neglected over the last few months as I concentrate on two new projects.

Anyway, I posted a tutorial on my coaching website last night and figured my loyal readers and subscribers may want to know how to do this too, so here it is!

How to use Google Alerts to find blog topic ideas

Sometimes as a blogger it is difficult to keep coming up with new and exciting ideas about what you can write about to keep the interest of your readers.

I use Google Alerts to help me come up with ideas and today I decided to create a mini tutorial to show you how to set them up and how to use them.

You will need a Google account do to this.

Go to http://www.google.com/alerts where you will see this box:

In the Search Terms box, type in a keyword related to your niche. For example, if your niche is dog training, then type in dog training (with or without inverted commas (").

Leave the Type as Comprehensive.

I usually change How often to once a day.

And I always get it to Deliver to my email address (just use the drop down box, although it usually automatically defaults to your email address).

Once this is set up, you will receive a daily email which lists various website and blog posts about your chosen topic.

Go into any of these that interest you and look at what they are talking about. Could this be something you could talk about on your blog? You could even talk about the blog you came across, when writing your post, and give your opinion of what you think about what the other blogger was saying.

There are so many things you can do with these, so this is really just to give you a starting point in using Google Alerts but as you can see, it is one very useful tool!

You can go back in to Google Alerts and add as many more search terms as you like, however remember there is only so much one person can do, so be careful not to overdo the alerts thing!

How to configure your sidebar using widgets

I just added to my coaching website (for all of my coaching program clients) a tutorial on how to configure your sidebar using widgets, including a brief explanation of what a widget is, which will be kind of handy!

I did this after a client of mine asked me to teach her how to do it yourself.

Her response was: “Hi Michelle, thanks for this. Your notes were great, very clear and easy to follow….. I’m very excited - just had to copy and paste the text as per your instructions….!”

To learn how to build your own website and make your first sale within 30 days, visit http://thefabulouswebsitechick.com/coaching-program/

As a member of the coaching program you also have access to resources such as:

• A social bookmarking list
• A videosharing list
• A social networks list

All so you can promote your website online!

And of course you get much more, but then I’d have to write another entire sales page to tell you about it because the list keeps growing! Woo hoo!!

How do I upload files to my website?

There are plenty of FTP programs out there to allow you to transfer files to your website, but the one I use (Filezilla) I find is the best.
