Lower Your Time Value Spend By Utilizing WordPress Clone Installations

It used to take me a massive amount of time to install WordPress on as many domains as I have. If you look at the time taken to install the software, create the SQL database, and customise with the right plugins and themes, this would very quickly add up to around 2 hours or more of work, and with my time value rising, this was not time well spent. What I wanted to learn was how to clone wordpress installations, and I needed to do it fast.

The only problem here is that in order to get a job done right, you need to do it right. This means, no cutting corners that may get the job done to a lesser standard. For so long, I have had a perfect clone of WordPress saved locally on my computer which I have been able to deploy on new domains, however, the process of manually doing this is tiring, time consuming, and not even half as reliable as building from scratch. I needed to find an option.

You see, a lot of these WordPress cloners just don’t work, and this is the biggest problem that I have faced. If I had a document that noted all of the errors that I have received, it would be seen as a good price of comedy, it is simply that hard to find something that actually works.

You would not believe some of the errors that I have seen. If there is a known error with SQL databases, I have seen it. WPconfig errors, permissions, anything… I have seen it through this testing.

Now, I have gone on long enough about this already, but the real question here is why I do this in the first place? The idea is simple time management. If I can reduce time spent on these kinds of tasks, then this means that I am better using my time value. Installing blogs is not exactly a money oriented task, the real income is derived from when the sales copy goes on that blog, or when content is written, as such, this is the kind of task that can warrant valued time to be spent on it.

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.
