Here’s a complete set of step by step videos that shows you exactly how to setup your niche PLR Blog. This is the next best thing to me coming to your house and showing you how to do it myself!<–more–>
1. REGISTER A DOMAIN NAME
Ok, I don’t think I need to do a video for this, do I? Just go to your favorite registrar and register a domain name related to your niche. (I suggest you use namecheap.com because one of the videos in this series shows you how to change DNS at namecheap)
2. GET HOSTING
Again, I’m pretty sure you can handle this one without a video. If you don’t have hosting already, I recommend HOSTGATOR (Yes, that IS my affiliate link but you don’t have to use it, you can just go to hostgator.com). I suggest you get the “baby” account because you will be able to host unlimited domains for only $7.99 a month. Can’t get a much better deal than that!
3. CHANGING THE DNS ON YOUR DOMAIN
Once you have your hosting and domain name, you need to point the domain to your server. Your hosting company should have sent you an email with your NAME SERVERS listed in it (if you don’t have that, then just contact support and they can tell you what these are). If you have purchases the domain and the hosting at the same place, then they probably have already done this for you.
You need to go into your account where you registered the domain and change the Domain Name Server setup. The video below shows you how to do that at Namecheap.

5. UPLOADING THE CUSTOM THEME AND PLUGINSS
In this video, I use the free FTP program Filezilla – you can download Filezilla here.
<=======================================================================>
6. IMPORTING THE POSTS AND PAGES
NOTE: On the import screen for wordpress 3.1 they call the file a WXR file, but it’s really the file in xml format so you want to import the wordpressexport.xml file just like the video shows – there is no .wxr file that’s just what wordpress calls the format inside the xml file just to confuse everyone.
<=======================================================================>
7. ACTIVATE THE CUSTOM THEME AND SETUP THE PLUGINS
NOTE: Some of the newer blogs have a larger photo gallery, so you will need to use a different gallery width and gallery height. For the Pet Insurance Blog, you will want to use a width of 920 and height of 300.

8. UPDATE THE AMAZON (And Clickbank for some blogs) AFFILIATE LINKS
This video shows you an easy way to change over the Amazon affiliate links to YOUR tracking id. If you don’t have one, go sign up at https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/ – it’s free, easy and fast!
You want to replace changeme-20 with your affiliate id, as shown in the video below:
NOTE: If you are installing a PLR blog that also has clickbank products (like the affiliate marketing PLR blog) then you will want run this a second time to replace the clickbank id. You will want to replace pappacow53 with your clickbank id. Just do the exact same thing as in the video above but instead of using “changeme-20″ you would use “pappacow53″ and, of course, use your clickbank id as the replace with field.
Want More Amazon Product Posts?
NOTE: I use the WP-Amaz-One plugin to pull in the Amazon product posts, but I made a video that shows you how you can add more Amazon product posts manually – CLICK HERE to see it

IF YOU ARE UPLOADING OVER AN EXISTING BLOG:
If you are uploading over an existing blog, then your homepage is probably going to be missing posts. Don’t worry – it’s an easy fix! The video below will show you what to do, but if you don’t feel comfortable editing your home.php file, feel free to contact me with your url and wordpress admin login and I will fix it for you!
