  Hello! Thank you for reaching out to us.

  I need to build a site where I sell content – specifically Powerpoint like instructional presentations – for money. I also want the site to talk about my online consulting. What plan do I need and is it a simple thing to do in wordpress?

  Based on your requirements, I would recommend the WordPress.com Business plan. This plan includes premium themes, plugins, and the ability to accept payments, which will be useful for selling your instructional presentations. Additionally, the plan provides access to our priority support, ensuring that you have the help you need as you set up your online consulting presence.

  Setting up your site on WordPress.com is designed to be user-friendly, with numerous resources available to guide you through the process. To start, you can follow these steps:

  1. Select a theme that suits your business
  2. Create pages for your content and consulting services
  3. Set up an e-commerce plugin, like WooCommerce, to sell your presentations as downloadable products.
  4. You can also use WooCommerce virtual products option to set up a services page using the virtual products (and thus no shipping

  We offered a recent webinar on how to set up WooCommerce that you may find helpful in seeing how a simple store might be set up:

  It sure wasnt simple to find out where to address this question.

  For our free sites support is offered in these community forums, but by upgrading to the Business Plan you gain access to priority support options (email and chat) 24/7, and that support extends to the WooCommerce plugin as well so we can help you with store setup questions.

  Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have any more questions.
