Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on Blogging Bootcamps

No. Blogging Bootcamps are meant for beginners. You just need to bring a WiFi-enabled laptop along with the latest version of Google Chrome and/or Firefox browser, a document editor such as OpenDocument or Microsoft Word, and some disk space to install a new software package if needed.

If you do not already have them, you will need to register a domain name and buy hosting space for your website.

You’ll learn to create and manage your own website. In addition to the topics mentioned in the day-wise schedule, you will do assignments as decided by the instructor.

Please note that this Bootcamp is not meant to create an eCommerce site, to learn to code, not meant to develop your own theme, and not meant to develop a plugin or any other software.

Blogging Bootcamp will provide you the skills to manage your own website. We will also help you become familiar with the WordPress community forums and hosting management so you can raise support requests on your own.

Besides, Bootcamp participants become eligible for discounted follow-up coaching and ongoing support in their blogging journey. These would be virtual, Skype-based, personalized sessions. Participants also become eligible for discounted annual maintenance contracts (AMCs) so we take care of the technology while you focus on your business.
