How To Effectively Tutor Wordpress To Amateurs

By Haley Bonner


Nowadays, being savvy in the Internet is considered to be cool. When people are capable of making their own website without even going through considerable amount of formal training, they are considered to be cool. There is that double standard that even amateurs want to overcome and so they look for someone who can tutor WordPress.

Indeed, this is one of the basic ways on how people can become Internet savvy. When they are familiar with this popular and basic platform, then they should be able to consider themselves as a child of the digital age. Of course, they should not be limited to this platform. There are other platforms that they should take advantage of.

To those who are already knowledgeable in this field, then you should consider helping out these amateurs. Of course, it is easier for you to teach them if they already have basic knowledge of the use of the computer. Otherwise, you might need to start teaching them elementary knowledge.

Assuming that amateurs know how to use the computer, you can go ahead and tell them how they can use this platform. When it comes to teaching the said amateurs, there should be a few things you can do for it. To teach them, here are some effective means that you can use these days.

First, it is important for you to ask them what they actually want to do directly. They might want to make a blog or they might want to have their own website. Whatever they want has an impact on what you teach them. Remember that in the Internet there are different platforms available for either of the two, after all.

Tour them around the website. You have to let them know what they can see first, where is the dashboard, and other parts of the site. Let them know what each button on the landing page after the sign up does for the viewer. In such cases, you have to be patient considering that there are numerous buttons you can click.

Since you are already giving them a tour, then you just have to demonstrate what basic functions they can take advantage of in the said platform. You have to specifically teach them the step-by-step procedures of the feature they will definitely use frequently. Have them try it out for themselves too to determine whether they understand or not.

In this case, posting content is definitely the main function that a person will want to do on the website. Then, you just have to make sure that they understand how to do it. After that, you can teach them bit by bit on how they can make changes on the appearance of the post. You can teach them how to change the layout, font style, font, and font size.

If what the person wants to change is the theme of the blog, then allow them to do so. Educate them about how the themes are being showcased in the theme area of the platform. Tell about how some are for free and some comes with a price too. They can decide which theme they will choose after that.
