Work At Home Business

It used to take me a few hours to piece together the perfect installation of WordPress. Sure, back in the day when I was first starting out, this was time well spent, as I was researching the perfect plugins and themes, and it was fun! It still is! The only problem here is that now that I am trying to minimise the amount of time that I spend doing these tasks, the idea of spending two hours to get a blog live, well… its not exactly time well spent. I wanted to know how to clone wordpress installations.

My dad once told me that if you want to get the job done, you are going to need to do it right. The problem with taking shortcuts when it comes to WordPress is that there is so much that can go wrong. That said, for some time now, I have had the perfect installation of WordPress saved locally on my computer, however, to install it is a huge task in itself, and risky at that. To put it simple, I needed to find an alternative that got the job done in little time, but better than I was getting it done already.

The brick wall that I have faced for some time now is that there are literally hundreds of WordPress cloners available on the internet, and only a small portion of them actually work. Some of them that I have tested just do not work at all, some provide some of the craziest errors that I have ever seen, and others have exposed my blog to hackers.

To list just some of the errors that I have seen, I have seen mySQL errors, database connection errors, I have seen problems with file permissions, directory structure, and WPconfig file errors. These are all errors that you probably don’t care too much about, nor do you need to worry about.

After all this talk about time value and so on, it would have to be obvious by now why it is that I do this. Installing blogs is not exactly the kind of tasks that brings in an income and pays the bills. The real income comes from when you create content, research affiliate programs, create content, and create a unique experience for your hungry tribe. Accordingly, if you can minimise the time spend on these tasks that don’t bring in an income, then you are half way there.

Your time is massively valuable. Some people choose to outsource this kind of work to people offshore at a cost of $5 per hour, which is fantastic if you have a higher time value than that. This exact same principal applies to the kind of work involved in creating a clone wordpress installation. If it is entirely possible to find a much more efficient way to get the work done, and if that new process means that you can get a better job done in as little time as possible, then you will have won the battle. I recommend it, and I am sure that when you get started, you will too.
