Hi Peter
I know I haven't been writing newsletters recently, but there is a reason for this. For the last few months I've been in the process of moving back to the UK from Tenerife. I know most people think I am crazy, but I have missed the UK these last 18 or so years. I still have a little stuff to sort out, but to all intents and purposes, I now live in North Wales with my family. Hopefully it will mean I can get to a few industry events in the UK this year. I am also hoping that I can get back into the habit of writing a newsletter most weeks.
OK, enough of that. I wanted to send you a quick heads up. I have a page on my website where you can get all of my Udemy courses for 50% discount. That means as little as $10 per course and a current maximum of just $15.
Next week I am going to be re-working this page so that the discount is less. I haven't decided yet, but it will be a maximum of 40%, and possibly only 30%.
I know that when this happens, if I don't warn newsletter subscribers, I will get a lot of angry emails. "I was just going to buy XYZ and you put the price up". So, this is a heads up that as of next week, this page will have changed:
http://ezseonews.com/coupon-codes-for-all-of-my-udemy-courses/
If you have been wanting one of these courses, please get it before Monday 18th July.
Have a good weekend.
All the best

Hi Peter
Last month I offered some great deals on my Udemy courses to existing students. I still have some of the May coupons available, so wanted to offer them to my newsletter subscribers as well. These courses are for anyone actively involved in an online business, or anyone that wants to start one.
But first, a little background information...
I actually started my online business building affiliate websites. My very first affiliate site was a gift website, selling all manner of affiliate products. My very first affiliate commission was a coin sorter, with a $2.49 commission. I sold several in my first month, but the commission that changed my life and made me believe in the affiliate model was a little bigger. It came in my second month as an affiliate, and was over $500 commission on a $2000 sale of some Russian plates at the Sovietski Collection website. I'm not even sure if they are still going, but I did get that commission check, and it made me a believer.
For the next few years, I worked full time on building affiliate sites, which naturally lead into other areas I needed to learn, like Wordpress (when it came on the scene), SEO, CSS etc. As a hobby programmer, I even created software to help me build affiliate sites, called SEO Website Builder. That software helped a lot of people create income-generating websites. I still create software today (like Web Content Studio), but also write books and teach.
Today, I maintain a number of affiliate websites, but they are built very differently to the way we did it in the early years. Today is much more about quality. The courses I have on Udemy teach the principles I use on a daily basis. My latest course is shows you how I create high quality affiliate websites.
During May, I offered my Webmaster-Related courses at roughly 50% discount to my current Udemy students. I say roughly, because one or two may be a dollar out here or there due to Udemy's pricing policy, but it's as close to 50% as I can get. I've listed the courses that are available below. All you need to do is use the following coupon code to get the discount:
Coupon: MAY2016
You can use the coupon in two ways. Firstly you can visit the page for the course and click the "Redeem a Coupon" link underneath the "Add to Cart" button. You'll then be prompted to add the coupon code.
An alternative method, if you want to buy more than one of the courses is to go to each of the course pages and click the "Add to Cart" button. Add all of the courses you want to the cart, then click the "Go to Cart" link. You may see a button that says "Go to Cart", or you can click the small shopping trolley icon top right in your browser. On the shopping cart page, you can insert the coupon ONCE, and it will be applied to all courses that allow that coupon.
All of the courses listed below should accept my 50% discount coupon: MAY2016. If any don't, chances are the coupon has been used up, but for this week I am happy to extend the offer to my newsletter subscribers, so just let me know which course has run out of coupons and I'll create one for you.
Let me tell you about the courses:
1. Wordpress for Beginners
Wordpress For Beginners is my complete course on learning and using Wordpress like a pro. It assumes no prior knowledge, and by the end you'll feel confident in using Wordpress, and even enjoy using it! I recommend this course for anyone that wants to learn how to use Wordpress to build websites. As a bonus, this course comes with my "Installing Wordpress, registrars & hosting" course. Just check out the final lecture in the course for that coupon.
Course Link: https://www.udemy.com/wordpress-for-beginners-course/
2. Website Analytics Without Google
When you build a website, you need to track who comes to your site, how they find the site, what they do on your site, and how and why they your site. I use Google Analytics on many of my own sites, but there are a lot of webmasters that don't trust Google, and don't want to hand over website analytics to the search giant. Therefore, my second course shows you how to install comprehensive analytics on your site without relying on Google. It's a totally free analytics package, with a lot of power.
Course Link: https://www.udemy.com/website-analytics/
3. Build High Quality Affiliate Websites
Build High quality affiliate sites is my latest course, teaching you how to build high quality affiliate websites the way I do. It's only been released for a few weeks, and already has 64 reviews with a 4.7 out of 5 average. The price is going up very soon, so get it now if you want it.
Course Link: https://www.udemy.com/build-affiliate-marketing-web-sites/
4. How to Write Great Web Content
One thing ALL websites need is great content, and anyone that tells you otherwise simply does not understand Google or how the search engine works. Google use real people to evaluate pages, so if content is poor, your rankings will be poor. My course on "How to Write Great Web Content" will show you how to create the killer content that search engines love to reward with higher rankings.
Course Link: https://www.udemy.com/how-to-write-great-web-content/
5. SEO Courses
Although web content is vital to sustainable, high rankings, there are a lot of other factors that can determine where your pages rank in Google. For those that want to learn more about how the search engines work, I'd recommend you take one of my search engine optimization courses. I have two. A primer, for those that want to learn the basics, and then a full SEO 2016 course for those that want more depth and detail. Here are the links to those two courses.
Full SEO Course: https://www.udemy.com/seo-search-engine-optimization-course/
SEO Primer Course: https://www.udemy.com/seo-primer-search-engine-optimization-for-beginners/
Those courses listed above are the ones that most people will find useful, and cover what you need to know to create and maintain successful websites, but I do have a few other "speciality" courses, with specific target audiences in mind.
My Speciality Courses
CSS for Beginners - Web page design is largely controlled by CSS. If you want to have some fun and learn the basics of CSS at the same time, watch the course's free preview "Introduction to CSS". In that lecture you can watch me use CSS to make "improvements" to the Google search page, right there on Google.com. You can have fun like that with any site you like.
Course Link: https://www.udemy.com/css-course-css/
Move a Wordpress site - If you have ever needed to move a Wordpress site to a different web host, or maybe even a different domain, then this course will show you how to do that.
Course Link: https://www.udemy.com/moving-a-wordpress-site/
Convert HTML to Wordpress - Does what it says on the tin. This course shows you how to convert an old HTML website to Wordpress. With Google rewarding responsive websites with higher rankings, this course can show you how to breathe new life into an old site. The methods used help to preserve your current rankings, although of course, there are no guarantees with Google.
Course Link: https://www.udemy.com/convert-html-site-to-wordpress/
Install Wordpress Locally - this course shows you how to install Wordpress on your own computer (PC or Mac). This type of local install is private, and only seen by you, so why is it useful? Well, if you are trying to learn Wordpress (e.g. you are taking my Wordpress for Beginners course) and want to learn without having to pay for a domain and web hosting, then a local install is a smart idea. A lot of webmasters setup local installs when they want to make some big updates to an existing site. Simply download the live website to a local computer, make all the changes locally (which do not affect the online site), and when the upgrade is complete, and everything is working, upload it back to the server. This allows sites to go through major changes with zero downtime. A third reason someone might want to install Wordpress locally is when they are testing plugins or themes or maybe just building a website that they want to keep
private until it is ready for real visitors. Whatever your reason for wanting to install Wordpress locally, this course can help you learn how to do it.
Course Link: https://www.udemy.com/install-wordpress-locally/
This has been a long email, so thank you for reading it. I wish you success in your "webmastering", and hope you find a course or two that can help you learn new skills.
Have a great week!
Andy Williams
all the best

Hi Peter
Something a little different today, and it's only for those of you living in EU/EEA countries.
If you work online, chances are you have the same problem that I've had since the turn of the century (boy that makes me sound old).
I have worked online for over 15 years. During that time, I've lived in Spain and needed first pesetas, then euros to live on. However, I do also need to have money in pounds sterling for UK stuff. The problem is that most of my income is in dollars. One thing that has never changed in those 15 years is the high costs of converting money from one currency to another. Banks everywhere take out transaction fees, and then even more by using exchange rate margins. On a 2,000 euro exchange, I could lose 100 euros to the banks. Well not any more. I've started using a service called CurrencyFair. It's a peer-to-peer service that just makes sense. e.g. If I have 2,000 euros and want that exchanged to sterling, and there is another person with pounds sterling but want euros, we can simply swap close to the current interbank rate. No currency margins and no transaction fees. Well there is a fee, but it is small (around 3 euros) and
you can actually get your first transfer without paying that fee. To find out about this service and to claim a free transfer, watch my video here:
http://ezseonews.com/review/currencyfair-reviewcheap-currency-exchange/
The video contains full details on how this works, and shows you a real example from my own account. You can see that this really is a lot better than going through a bank.
If you use a similar service, or have comments on my video, please leave a comment on that page.
That's all for now. Have a great weekend!
All the best

Hi Peter
Over the last few years, my focus has changed a lot with my online business. In the early days it was all SEO and affiliate websites, and that moved into other areas like software, Kindle publishing and online teaching in recent years. As a result, my newsletters have also changed focus somewhat. From some of the comments I get in my inbox, I think a lot of people miss the good old days.
If you miss all of the excitement of building affiliate sites and seeing that passive income coming in every month, do not despair. I have some good news. My latest course on Udemy is all about building affiliate websites (the way I build them). Yes, I do still actively build affiliate sites, and yes, they do bring in a good passive income every month. I am a great believer in diversifying your online business, and affiliate websites remain a big part of my business. And the best part of all? I don't worry about Google penalties. In the last 3 years of building sites (the new way), I have not had a single affiliate site penalized or lose rankings in Google.
Let me be honest here. I have had one or two sites that haven't quite matched my expectations, but that was down to me, not Google.
If you want to learn how to build affiliate sites that can make passive income, and NOT have to worry about Google banning you, then my new course is right for you. It is called "Learn how to Create High Quality Affiliate Websites", and it's a course that let's you watch over my should as I build a real site. This isn't a throwaway site that I'll not just leave to rot. I still have work to do on it, and I have high hopes that it will succeed.
The course itself, while complete as it currently stands, is not the finished article (it currently contains 51 lectures with 6 hours of video). I do have more content to add to the course, so it will grow over the coming months. As I make changes to my site, I'll be recording everything to include in the course. That way you can watch as my site evolves and hopefully blossoms into a nice little earner.
If this interests you, you can get the course for 50% off (just $10). This isn't a time limited offer, so there is no bonus for buying early. I offer my newsletter and site readers 50% off all of my courses. You can find the new course, and all of my other courses here:
http://ezseonews.com/coupon-codes-for-all-of-my-udemy-courses/
The new course is the first one in the list.
That's all for now. Have a great weekend!
All the best

In this issue:
1. 2 days left!! My Udemy Courses for $8
2. SEO Updates
Hi Peter
In this newsletter, I want to briefly remind you about the price increases on Udemy courses that come into effect on the 4th April (that's less than 2 days from now). I also wanted to point our some required viewing/reading for anyone interested in SEO and ranking on Google.
1. My Udemy Courses for $8
On April 4th, Udemy are capping course coupons to a maximum of 50% of the course price.
However, until that time, I am going to offer ALL of my own courses for just $8. That's a price that won't be matched again unless Udemy change the rules again. To see what courses I have, and get the links, please visit this page:
http://ezseonews.com/coupon-codes-for-all-of-my-udemy-courses/
BTW; There is a new course on that list - Easy English Grammar 101. It's a course I helped to produce, though I am not the main instructor (thankfully, since my own grammar is not great). The main instructor is Andii, who happens to be my own proof-reader and editor for Kindle books I write. If you want to improve your English grammar, check out that course - it is at the end of the page.
2. SEO Updates
If you are interested in knowing what Google are up to, I have a few links you should check out.
Firstly, you can watch the Google Q&A for March. Lots of interesting information in that video about how Google works, and ranks pages. You can watch the hour long video here:
https://youtu.be/l8VnZCcl9J4
The video covers some interesting information about Google ranking factors, including the top three factors that help pages rank.
If you are interested in the new Google Penguin, what it is, when it's coming and how it could impact your site, I recommend you read Gary Illyes article called "Google's Gary Illyes on Penguin: When Is It Coming and What Will It Do?". You can find that article here:
https://www.stonetemple.com/googles-gary-illyes-on-penguin-when-is-it-coming-and-what-will-it-do/
Finally, my pick of the week as a must read is an article called "16 SEO Experiments That Will Change The Way You Think About SEO (Forever)". This was published on 8th March 2016, so is up-to-date, and it looks at a number of SEO experiments, some with quite surprising results. Check out that article here:
http://seosherpa.com/seo-experiments/
A lot of the experiments in this article will surprise you, and help you create better web pages on better web sites.
OK, that's it for now.
Have a great week!
Andy Williams
