WPTrainMe – The Easiest And Most Profitable Way To TeachClients How To Use WordPress

Don’t Just Teach Clients WordPress … Help Them Get Results!

Do you build WordPress websites f or businesses, or sell any otherWordPress-related services?

If so, do you also provide your clients with WordPress training?

If you do, consider what would happen if you asked your clients thef ollowing question at the start of your training session:

I’ve just built you a website using a powerful application calledWordPress. Now I’m going to train you how to use your new WordPresssite. Do you want me to teach you:

a) How to use WordPress to create a new page and add some contentto it, or

b) How to use WordPress to automatically drive more targeted visitors to your site, get better search enginerankings, get more visibility online for your business on social media sites, generate more leads, more sales, moreopt-in subscribers, increase your conversion rates and make your business more profitable … in addition to basicstuff like how to create a page and add some content to it?

Which of the above options do you think your clients would choose? If you were your own client, which of theabove methods would you rather be shown af ter getting your website built?

Which of the above options do you think would increase the value of your WordPress services and allow youto charge clients more?

In this post we look at the training methods most website service providers use to teach their clients aboutusing WordPress and why these are mostly inef f ective. We will then show you why the WordPress system we

spent over 3 years developing is ef f ective, and why this system is the easiest way to train clients how to useWordPress.

How Do You Teach Your Clients WordPress?

Consider the screenshot below, which shows some of the typical responses given by a number of WordPressservice providers to an online discussion by a group of WordPress experts on LinkedIn which asked them “HowDo You Train Your WordPress Clients?” …

The above responses (and our own research and experience) indicate that many website service providerschoose the f ollowing methods to teach their clients how to use WordPress:

Providing one-on-one training (either on site or online, e.g. skype, phone, etc …) with an averageduration of 1-2 hours,

Providing clients with PDF guides and/or videos.

How Effective Is Your WordPress Training Method?

Do you use any of the above methods to train your clients?

If so, how ef f ective are they? Do they empower your clients to get the results they want to achieve with theirWordPress sites that we discussed earlier?

Consider this …

Why do so many women (and increasingly men also) spend money on beauty products? It ’s not because of the“active ingredients” used in the cosmetics, but because women (and men) want to look younger and moreattractive. In other words, clients who buy cosmetic products don’t care about how their lotions and potionswork as much as they care about the results that these products are supposed to deliver.

In a similar way, clients want websites because they want to experience better results in their business.

So …

Does the WordPress training method you are currently using show clients how to grow their businessmore profitably using WordPress?

In our experience, one hour ‘one-on-one’ training sessions andPDFs or videos that only teach clients the basic mechanics ofusing WordPress can only take a client so f ar. They don’t reallyempower businesses to grow online and achieve sustainableresults.

Af ter using these same methods to train our own clients, wenoticed that clients would typically leave the init ial trainingsession smiling and happy, but when we f ollowed up with themaround 90 days af terwards, the same client that was handed thekeys to this amazing vehicle – a website built with WordPress,would then report that not much was happening with their site.Their ef f orts to grow their business online would of ten simply come to a halt.

At f irst, we believed our clients when they said they were just “too busy” to do the things we showed themduring their ‘one-on-one’ training session.

Gradually, however, we came to understand that the reason why our clients just “stopped” was not becausethey were “too busy” as they said … it was because when it comes to getting results online, there’s so muchmore to learn than what was being covered in their training session and the PDFs and videos, that, without anef f ective step-by-step system to f ollow and regular guidance or mentoring, clients would simply end up f eelingcompletely overwhelmed and conf used about what to do next.

The reason why many business owners of ten come to acomplete standstill af ter being handed “the keys” to their newWordPress site, is because they are not being truly empoweredto grow their business and achieve the results they would like toexperience. They are not being taught how to actually “drive” theironline vehicle to any successf ul destination, or given an ef f ectiveroad map to f ollow; they are only being shown a f ew “buttons topress” in their vehicle’s dashboard that get some lights blinking,but makes nothing actually move f orward.

The reality is, without a caref ully constructed and ef f ective step-by-step training system, there is just simply too much inf ormationf or clients to learn and “too many dots” f or them to connect inorder to achieve the results they want.

Creating An Effect ive Step-By-Step WordPress Training System Is Not Easy

Creating an ef f ective step-by-step WordPress training system is not an easy task by any means. It requiresspending an inordinate and exhaustive amount of t ime planning, researching, documenting, troubleshootingand testing every single step of the process to make sure that users can easily f ollow every step withoutgetting lost, conf used or overwhelmed …

If you are busy building web sites forclients (or looking for new clients toservice), how do you f ind the t ime tocreate a truly effective trainingsystem?

A one or two-hour training session can’teven begin to help someone connect all ofthe dots. It may be a practical way to signof f on a new website and leave the clientf eeling good about your services, but ifthe content of your WordPress training isnot an organized system that canef f ectively help your clients get the resultsthey want, then simply throwinginf ormation at them is only going tooverwhelm and conf use your clientsf urther. They are either going to come to a complete standstill, or they are going to look f or easier solutionselsewhere.

Because WordPress is constantly changing, PDFs and videos can be dif f icult to keep training content up-to-

date.

Using distributable training resources like PDFs also requires having an excellent document managementsystem to keep track of which changes have been made in which document version, and which version hasbeen distributed to which user.

Additionally, one of the biggest challenges of training clients to use WordPress, is that most websitedevelopers are not a “product of their product”.

In other words, they haven’t learned to use WordPress the same way that they are trying to teach it to others.

Most people who build WordPress sites f or others are of ten self - taught WordPress users who have acquiredtechnical knowledge and skills f rom many dif f erent sources and online resources.

This makes evaluating the ef f ectiveness of a training method aimed at helping non-technical users get resultsa dif f icult task.

Now … at this point you may be thinking “Hang on! It’s not my job to teach clients how to get results online! Myjob is only to build them a website and then show them how to use it! Whether their business ultimately succeedsor fails is not my concern!”

Okay, f air enough, but here’s the point …

WordPress can deliver your clients the results they want … if they have a training system that showsthem how!

With an expertly conf igured WordPress site, the right trainingsystem and a litt le personal assistance f rom their web serviceprovider to make sure that everything is going well, your clientscan experience a steady growth in visitors, better search enginerankings, more visibility online on social media sites, more leads,more sales, more subscribers, increased conversion rates, andso on … without going somewhere else to f ind the answers theyneed!

A website built with WordPress can deliver phenomenalresults for any business. The question is … are you teachingyour clients how to achieve phenomenal results usingWordPress?

Or are you just giving clients the same old ‘quick start’ training that will probably bring them to an eventualstandstill?

Af ter trying all of the above methods (i.e. one-on-one training, videos, PDFs, etc.) and experiencing all of thechallenges and issues described thus f ar, we decided to build something dif f erent.

Would you like to know about a better and easier way to train clients that can FREE up your t ime so you canf ocus on growing your web services business while also helping you grow your clients business?

If so, let me share with you the easiest way to teach your clients how to use WordPress and help them get theresults they expect f rom their new website.
