Do you have an oDesk account? Are you new to oDesk? Are you looking for job? If all answers are yes, then this post is for you.

Today I’m going to give some tips for the beginners in oDesk. Mostly the newbies don’t get jobs. Here I’ll give some tips how to get jobs easily for the first time. The tips are give bellow as points.

• ·         Make your profile 100%. It is the most important thing that, clients always like a 100% completed profile.
• ·         Now find jobs. When you’ll get a job post, read out it clearly.
• ·         If you’ll have confidence, now try to know about the poster.
• ·         Then Look at Client's Work History and Feedback. If you find, there are only a few works and feedback also good, apply for this job.
• ·         Bid in low rate. But don’t in lowest. For example, if the client’s budget is 50USD (in fixed price jobs), you propose him 27-30USD.
• ·         There is an option in fixed price jobs, upfront payment. Fill this box as 0%.
• ·         Now submit your cover letter, optional question’s answer. That’s all.

Is this article so short? But I got my first job on oDesk from my first bid applying these steps. Hope you’ll get too.

Which WordPress SEO Plug-in is best?

 Have you any website created with WordPress? You need a plug-in for SEO. There are many free and paid plug-ins in WordPress directory. But I like two of them. Now I’ll tell you about WordPress SEO plug-ins.

The two plug-ins I like are WordPress SEO by Yoast and All in One SEO Pack. But two of them, I like WordPress SEO by Yoast most.

If you use the WordPress SEO by Yoast plug-in, you’ll get more functionality than All in One SEO Pack. You can use a Focus keyword in Yoast SEO. You can also get the SEO status (red, green, yellow). Sometimes site owners suffer with thumbnail image when sharing on facebook. I found the only solution is WordPress SEO by Yoast.

Anyone can also use All in SEO Pack. No problem which plug-in you are using, the main issue is to set it up properly.

No more in this post. Coming with my next post. Thank you so much.

WordPress Academy theme : Checkout page doesn't work?

Do you know about the learning management WordPress theme “Academy”? Once one of my clients bought this theme from themeforest. He gives it to me to customize like the demo version of themeforest. I started my work. All are okay.

Got only problem. I install the WooCommerce plug-in. That was an updated version of the plug-in. But the checkout page didn’t work. I was searching here and there to fix the problem. But I didn’t get any solution. At last, I uninstalled and delete the plug-in file. Then upload the backdated version “woocommerce.2.0.20”. It worked properly on the theme.

So, if you want to use the “Academy” theme, you need you use the “woocommerce.2.0.20”, a backdated version of woocommerce plug-in.

Thanks to all.
