<h2>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">How to Start a Virtual Assistant Business? </span></h2>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">To start a Virtual Assistant Business you must go ahead by proper planning. Without planning you won’t able to success in your business. You can follow the below steps to establish a Virtual Assistant Business from your home. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<h3>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">1.       Create a business plan </span></h3>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Before starting a well-organized business you must make a productive plan. For planning sometime you have to do brainstorming but in case of VA you don’t need to do research work. But you need to stick to your plan. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Most of the cases our family members, friends and colleagues will discourage you from setting up your own business, even they will influence you to do job which is better than business. But trust me once you establish your own business then you will get benefits from several ways. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">For writing a business plan you should liaison with Virtual assistant professional groups, participate in online forums and also study on Internet and books. After doing all this things you will get a clear idea that what VA services you should perform. Don’t try to offer multiple services, just narrow down your offerings, where you can deliver best output. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<h3>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">2.       Define your and niche and Services </span></h3>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The ground of Virtual assistant is very wide. By the blessing of affordable technology a VA can work across the world without any limitations. Though you can work in broader niche but initially you should work on a specific niche, because you must deliver quality output to build your client. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">There are many niche like Event Planning, Purchasing & Supply Procurement, Real Estate Assistance, Research work but you won’t get skill in all niche at a time, so select a best niche where you have special skills and passion. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><img alt="What You Need to Know About Starting a Virtual Assistant Business" border="0" data-original-height="1095" data-original-width="1600" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XkH_ke5IwHk/WtjK82F8wVI/AAAAAAAARJI/AHtU7cyy27kzY5nCJB5998OqnrJ5djeIgCLcBGAs/s1600/VIRTUAL-ASSISTANT%2Bservice.jpg" title="Starting a Virtual Assistant Business" /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Remember that your selected niche will be your main service offer for your clients. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<h3>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">3.       Decide your business brand name. </span></h3>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">After creating business plan and narrowing the niche you should select a business name. It should be unique, short, sweet and relevant to your niche thus people can easily remember. However many VA name their business by their family name or first name. If you don’t have any unique name idea then consult with friends and family. Definitely this will help you to find a name easily. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">One thing you should keep in mind that don’t name your business with specific niche. Suppose at the beginning of the business you want to provide website design VA service and named your business like this but later you want to offer more service like website management or website SEO then that service will not match with your present business name. So select a name which is open to add on new services. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<h3>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">4.       Complete Legal formalities for Business License and DBA/Trade Name </span></h3>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Though this is a complete home based business but you should be complete all legal formalities before establishing your business. Different country has different rules and regulation for business, so do little study on to know the process and get the business permits and license from appropriate authority. There are many country provides VAT and TAX exception and zoning waiver to work from home. If your business need insurance then choose a suitable insurance policy. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If you want to do a business under your name then you must file documentation of the name, this is known as “Doing Business As” (DBA) or Trade name. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In addition, open a business Bank account to receive your service charges, as well as open business account in online payment gateway like PayPal, Payoneer, Payza etc. This will help you to avoid all unexpected incidence.  In future if you hire any VA to help your business you can disburse his/her salary from your business account. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<h3>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">5.       Fix the Service Charge </span></h3>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Deciding what to charge is the most significant part of your business. Depending on your charges you will get clients. You could charge hourly, weekly, project basis or combination of all of them. Create a service package that tailored each client’s needs, thus your client can choose the best service package what they actually need. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Moreover, initially try to keep the charge low to attract more client. Your service rate should vary depending on your level of expertise, client and industry. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">You are thinking you have higher skills to serve your client in preliminary stage but your client don’t know about your expertness, in this case they often undervalue your skill and at this point you won’t able to charge higher rate. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">After working of couple of years you will gain real experience but after completion of your work try to collect client’s testimonial, this will help you to increase your service charge in future. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In America virtual assistant rates fluctuate time basis and work volume and nature. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<ul>
<li>Less than $10 per hour </li>
<li>$11-$20 per hour </li>
<li>$21-$30 per hour </li>
<li>$31-$40 per hour </li>
<li>$41-$50 per hour </li>
<li>$51-$75 per hour </li>
<li>$76-$99 per hour </li>
<li>Over $100 </li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">But majority of VA charges between $15 - $30 per hour and for executive assistant services charge would be $40-$75 per hour. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<h3>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">6.       Website for your VA Business </span></h3>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Virtual business is complete online basis and you don’t need any office establishment. So your website will work as your storefront. So you need to build a website by professional web designer and developer. However you can hire freelance to design your website in cheap rate. Remember that you can attract big chunk of clients through your attractive web design and service. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<h3>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">7.       Promote your Virtual Assistant business </span></h3>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">To work with clients you must make a list of them. However you won’t find client overnight. Try to list of markets that actually need your service, for example small business owner, entrepreneurs, project manager. If you still feel hard to find client then promote your VA business through various social media sites and groups, forum, and online advertisement like Google AdWords campaign, Facebook ad, Twitter ads etc. also write blog articles to target your clients. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">There are not any other alternatives of promotion to get target clients. Additionally you can scout on online job board and freelance site to get the clients easily. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">List your business to Google my Business for better visibility on map and to free online business directories. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<h3>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">8.       Get clients and provide VA service. </span></h3>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Business always expect quality service from virtual assistant exactly what they need and when they need. This is sounds like ordering something from a restaurant menu. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">After applying all sorts of strategy when you get client then your plan implementation time will come. To work with your first client you must give extra effort, because that in future that client will work like referee. After delivering high quality of service don’t hesitate to ask your happy client for referrals. You will definitely get more potential clients through your first client. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<h3>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">9.       Share, collaborate and keep learning. </span></h3>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If you think that your clients are satisfied with your provided service then you are wrong. You must collaborate with other VA to learn more from their experience. You should share your own experience and learn from their experience to handle a client. By improving the knowledge you can satisfy your customer different ways. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">To get to know with other VA you can participate with various Virtual assistant group discussion. In all major social media sites you will find group of VA where you can join and discuss about your problem, this will help you to overcome from all sorts of drawbacks. There are many great VA community who are always try to help other virtual assistant. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<h4>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Conclusion </span></h4>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I believe after go through the above information you will be interested to establish your own Virtual Assistant business. However before starting this business think about your qualification, if you have enough confident then go ahead with your dream business. </span><br />

Later in 2002 film maker and musician “Luuk Bouwman” created his first video blog called Tropisms and this is one of the first sites called a vlog. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">YouTube was started their journey in 2005 and within one year it becomes top 5 most visited website. At this state everyday 100 million videos views by viewers and total 65,000 hours of video was uploaded per day. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So this is the brief history of video blogging. But now blogging become very easy for various video sharing site like YouTube, <a href="https://www.bloggerspice.com/2015/12/complete-guide-to-earn-money-from-dailymotion-site-by-sharing-and-selling-videos.html" target="_blank">Daily Motion</a>, Vimeo etc. </span></div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">What we need for Vlogging? </span></h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Vlogging is all about producing and unloading videos for viewers, so for creating videos you need some components. Those are as follows </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<ul>
<li>Vlogging Camera. </li>
<li>Vlogging Microphone. </li>
<li>Vlogging Capture card. </li>
<li>Laptop or Desktop computer. </li>
<li>Video Editing Software. </li>
<li>Small home studio for internal shooting. </li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This is your primary things that you need for making videos. However if you want to make tutorial video by screen capturing then you need only Laptop or Desktop computer, Microphone and video editing software. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Initially you don’t need to invest in expensive video cameras, it is required for outdoor shoot and other purpose. Without video camera by screen capturing you can make video tutorial and start Vlogging. Alternatively you can turn your Smartphone into professional video camera, simply use your Smartphone for capturing videos from outdoor and use it for your video blog. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">How to Create a Vlog? </span></h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">A video blog can be create personally or through video sharing sites. So before starting your own Vlog you must decide where to start Vlog. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Own Video Blog: </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<ul>
<li>It is costly to manage Vlog in personal website. </li>
<li>You can’t host unlimited videos. </li>
<li>You will face bandwidth problem. </li>
<li>There would be traffic flow problem. </li>
<li>You won’t able to earn <a href="https://www.bloggerspice.com/search/label/Smart%20Money?max-results=6" target="_blank">money</a> from it. </li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Video Sharing site: </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<ul>
<li>You can use it free of cost. </li>
<li>Unlimited video can be upload. </li>
<li>Don’t have any hosting and bandwidth problem. </li>
<li>Zillions of traffic available on video sharing site. </li>
<li>You can SEO your video for higher ranking. </li>
<li>You can earn <a href="https://www.bloggerspice.com/2015/12/how-to-earn-money-from-youtube-by-working-with-Multi-Channel-Networks-MCNs.html" target="_blank">money</a> by<a href="https://www.bloggerspice.com/2013/07/how-to-use-google-adsense-for-video.html" target="_blank"> monetization</a>. </li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">From my point of view you must start video Blog in video sharing site. Simple you can create a new channel there and start uploading video, as well as through video monetization you can earn money. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">At present YouTube and Daily Motion is paying money for video monetization. So you can upload same video on both video sharing site which will bring money for you. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">You can also earn money from Vimeo but in passive way. Because still Vimeo hasn’t any <a href="https://www.bloggerspice.com/2016/01/how-to-enable-YouTube-monetization-from-non-supported-countries.html" target="_blank">monetization</a> option but by promoting affiliate products in your channel you can also earn money. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Types of Video Blog </span></h2>

<img alt="How To Add A Subscriber Popup For Blogger? " border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HKMb6nonLwE/WtBA7VjBMaI/AAAAAAAARGk/XX6a0gSmgLkfXwLOnZI5NsrGu_b5D_gygCLcBGAs/s1600/How%2Bto%2BCreate%2BEmail%2BNewsletter%2BWidget%2Bfor%2BBlogger.jpg" title="Subscriber Popup For Blogger" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If you want to add a newsletter widget in your Blogger site then you are at right place because I will share with you widget script and show you how to add email subscription feature in Blogger. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If you want to take your blog to the next level, you must have to grow your audience and for growing audience I hardly recommend you to use newsletter subscription feature. Wordpress platform has ton of plugins to add subscription feature, but for Blogger options seem to be inadequate and we have to do everything manually. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="https://www.bloggerspice.com/2016/01/feedburner-subscription-widget-for-blogger-template.html" target="_blank">Opt-in</a> or <a href="https://www.bloggerspice.com/2017/03/specificfeeds-for-custom-rss-feed.html" target="_blank">Email Newsletter</a> Widget is very important for list building. For growing your blog audience steadily you must build your email list. Many blogger think that this is not so important but trust me there are thousands of Bloggers are making money through list building. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Through your blogging list your can do several things. Like </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<ol>
<li>It will increase your Blog pageviews. </li>
<li>This will help you to grow your ad revenue. </li>
<li>It will help to communicate with specific readers through email easily. </li>
<li>You can sell your affiliated product within your list. </li>
<li>If you have paid e-course then you can easily sell it among your subscriber. </li>
</ol>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So this seems to me that list building can help us to grow blog traffic, as well as it helps to make money online. </span></div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Features of this custom opt-in widget </span></h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<ol>
<li>The main features of this email subscriber widget are as follows: </li>
<li>Custom Text can be add </li>
<li>You can show the last month’s total page views manually. </li>
<li>Email subscription box will open in a separate page. </li>
<li>Any newsletter service can be use with this widget. </li>
<li>You can attract visitors through this stunning opti-in widget. </li>
</ol>
</div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Why Should You Use Popup Newsletter widget? </span></h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Blogger Platform users think that we can only use <a href="https://www.bloggerspice.com/2016/02/best.Feedburner.alternative.for.webmaster.html" target="_blank">Feedburner</a> widget in blogger site. But indeed we can use almost all types of Email Newsletter services in Blogger including <a href="https://www.bloggerspice.com/2017/03/rss-email-campaign-with-mailerlite.html" target="_blank">RSS campaign</a>. Recently most of the opt-in service provider supports blogger platform. You can have a look at below email-newsletter service provider list. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.bloggerspice.com/2016/02/Mailchimp-for-blogger-and-business-list-building.html" target="_blank">Mailchamp</a> </li>
<li><a href="https://www.bloggerspice.com/2016/06/mailerLite-email-marketing-tool-for-list-building.html" target="_blank">Mailerlite</a> </li>
<li>Drip </li>
<li>ConvertKit </li>
<li>AWeber </li>
<li>GetResponse </li>
<li>ActiveCampaign </li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">You can use opt-in widget directly from the above service provider. But if you concern about your page loading speed then you may try my widget which will help you to collect subscriber without affecting your website loading speed. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">All you need to do just get the subscription form page URL from your newsletter service provider and after that you will able to add the URL with this widget. I am using Mailerlite newsletter service, because it provides free auto responder and you can use mailerlite and get the subscription form page URL. </span></div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Steps to Create an Email Newsletter Widget for Blogger </span></h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This opt-in works really well on Blogger, I tested it on my blog and you’ll be surprised how easy it is! Let’s get started to add this widget in our blog! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I assume that you have got your newsletter page URL. You can check my list building URL. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<ul>
<li><b>https://app.mailerlite.com/webforms/landing/p1a8s6 </b></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Your newsletter form page URL also would be like above. Alternatively if you wish you can use your <a href="https://www.bloggerspice.com/2016/01/brand-my-feedburner-email-for-feed-subscriber.html" target="_blank">Feedburner</a> URL. Now it’s time to add the widget in your Blogger blog. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Step #1:</b> Log in to your Blogger account and Go to your Blogger Dashboard </span></div>

Now you’re already familiar with some of the most important elements of a custom footer design for ecommerce website, </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A perfect example of an uncluttered but useful website footer that makes use of some of the elements we listed earlier belongs to<a href="https://fireart.studio/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Fireart.Studio</a>.<br />

<h2>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Common WordPress Errors </span></h2>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">If you want to turn from newbie to ‘Pro’ WordPress owner, it is necessary that you are aware of its common errors and solutions to fix them. Though WordPress is one of the most reliable platforms in the world. However, like most CMS platforms it is not entirely free from all the flaws. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Let’s know about some common WP error and quick solution to fix them. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>The White Screen of Death </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The White Screen of Death is a quite common error in WordPress which comes without any error message. The only thing that you see is White Screen. There could be various reasons for this error such as exhausted PHP memory, plugin, etc. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">You can increase the PHP memory limit of your site by adding the following code into your WordPress configuration PHP file (wp-config.php file) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3; font-family: inherit;">Define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘3000M’); </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If you think plugins are responsible, disable all the plugins on your site and then Re-enable them one by one and check which plugin is causing this error. Uninstall that plugin and try a fresh install for that. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Errors Establishing a Database Connection </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It is another common WordPress error that you may come across as a newbie. This error usually arises when you use wrong credentials (DB host, username, password) to access your database. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In case you are receiving the same message on both sides (back end & front end) of your site then there is a possibility that your database is corrupted. Place the following code into the configuration PHP file of your site to repair your database file. Once the repair process is over, remove this code from your configuration PHP file. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3; font-family: inherit;">Code: Define(‘WP_Allow_Repair’, true) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Returning 404 Error </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">As a WP owner, you may encounter this error at some point. There are numerous causes responsible for this error, but most common among them is a .htaccess file. If this error is just on the one page of your site, not the whole site, probably permalinks are responsible for the error. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">For that, you need to reconfigure the permalinks. Go to the Settings>Permalinks and click on ‘Save Changes’. That's all. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If this method is not working, you can try updating .htaccess file manually. For that, you will need to log in to your hosting server. You can use File Transfer Protocol to access your server. You can find the .htaccess file under the file section. The simplest way to modify the .htaccess file is to change its permission to 666 and make it writable. Next, update your permalinks settings. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Internal Server Error </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Sometimes, also cited to as ‘500 Internal Server Error’, it is a quite common error in WordPress. Most WordPress owners encounter this error at least once in their lives. Most of the time, plugins and WP theme are responsible for this error. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">First of all, check for the corrupted .htaccess file. Rename this file to something like .htaccess old and save the file. Now refresh your site and see if the error has resolved. If it is not working, try enhancing the PHP memory limit of your WordPress. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If both methods are not working, take the help of your hosting provider. Contact their technical support. You may also find a quick solution for this error on various online forum supports. 000webhost.com forum support covers various issues related to hosting and WordPress, you may use that as well. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">As said before, website security should be your top priority, we bring some quick ideas for you to keep your WP site protected. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<h2>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">How to keep Your WordPress Site Secured? </span></h2>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<ul>
<li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Use 2-Factor authentication - </b>By introducing the 2-factor authentication in your login page, you can give an extra layer of security to your site. In 2 factor authentication, a user has to provide login details for two different components. And as a website owner, you have to set those components. It can be anything. For instance, you can set a secret code or password along with your regular password. Google Authenticator is one of the reliable plugins for obtaining this feature. </li>
<li><b style="font-family: inherit;">Protect Your WordPress Admin Directory - </b>It would not be wrong to say that WordPress admin directory is a heart of any WordPress Website. Therefore, you should protect it from getting breached. You can create a password for your wp-admin directory. </li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">By opting this security measure, dashboard users will have to submit two passwords. One password will protect login page while another will protect your admin area. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Now, you are one step closer to master WordPress. Now you’re aware of how to install WP, how to install theme and plugins and how to fix some common WP errors. Now let’s see how you can migrate your WordPress Site </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<h2>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Migrating/Moving of a WordPress Site </span></h2>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We would suggest you invest in the right hosting companies from the beginning. A good hosting company must have the capability to fulfill the present and future requirements of your site. Make sure your hosting company offers an option to upgrade to premium plans. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">There are plenty of hosting companies available where you can host your site for absolutely free and later on upgrade to their premium plans as you feel your site is growing such as 000webhost.com, Freehosting.com, Awardspace, Byethost, 5GBfree etc. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Don’t worry migrating WordPress to new host does not require re-installation of WordPress. The platform is flexible enough to handle such situations. Before moving to a new server we would suggest you create the backup of your entire site which must include all the text file, plugins, theme, images, etc. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Follow these steps: </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Step #1: </b>Backup your website</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">You may use File Transfer Protocol to download all your data to your computer. Log in to your web host and copy all of the files from the root directory and save them into your computer. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Step #2: </b>Export the database </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It is quite easy to export database. Most hosting provider access your database using phpMyAdmin. Just log into the control panel of your host and access phpMyAdmin. Select your website database and hit ‘Export’ from the menu. Make sure the export method is set to Quick and formal is SQL. It ensures that your backup is globally accepted for MySQL. Next, you have to click on ‘Go’ and download the .sql file. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Step #3: </b>Upload Website Files</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">You have copied the entire data of your site. Now it is time to upload it. Login to your new hosting account using the Filezilla and access to its web root. Next, drag your files from your computer to the web root of new hosting. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Step #4: </b>Create a Database </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Before moving your database to a new host, create an empty database. Login the control panel of your new hosting account. Next, create a new database and give it an appropriate name according to your site. Next, create a new database user. Next, add the new user to this new database along with all Privileges. Save database name, username, and password somewhere for the future use. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Step #5: </b>Import the database</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Once you have set up your database, it is time to import the database. For that, again you have to log in to PhpMyAdmin on the new hosting account and click on the new database you just created. Now, click on ‘Import’ available on the top. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Next, click on the browse button and upload your .sql file. Click ‘Go’ and the database will begin importing. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<h2>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Fix the WordPress Configuration PHP file</span></h2>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">All your data has been successfully moved to new hosting account. Now you need to bring database and files together by modifying the WordPress Configuration PHP file (wp-config.php) file. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">You may use FileZilla to edit this file. Look for the following setting codes in this file. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<ul>
<li>DN Name </li>
<li>DB Username </li>
<li>DB Password </li>
<li>DB Host </li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Now take database information which you have saved and replace the old database information in these codes. That’s all. You have successfully migrated your WordPress </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Final Words </span></h4>
