About

Most “About Us” pages are filled with big corporate words and empty promises. This is not one of them.

My name is Harpreet Kumar, and I am the founder of WP Blogging 101.

My story is not about working in a fancy office or going to a top college. It is about working in a workshop with a hammer and saw for 12 long years.

If you are looking for someone who knows how to build something from scratch with hard work, honesty, and patience, you are in the right place.

12 Years As A Carpenter (2007 – 2019)

From 2007 until 2019, my life was all about manual labour.

For 12 years, I worked as a professional carpenter in India. My days were spent with the smell of sawdust and the physical grind of building furniture.

What carpentry taught me about blogging:

  • A Solid Foundation: You cannot build a strong house on weak soil. Similarly, you cannot build a successful blog on poor hosting or bad code.
  • Measure Twice, Cut Once: In woodworking, one wrong cut ruins the wood. In blogging, I check every technical detail twice before I publish it.
  • The Value of Hard Work: There are no shortcuts. Whether you are making a table or a website, quality takes time.
  • Building to Last: I don’t build things for today; I build them to stand the test of time.

The Double Life (February 2016 – December 2019)

In February 2016, while I was still working as a carpenter, I discovered the word “Blogging“. I had no teacher and very slow internet. Most blogging guides were in English, and my English was not very strong.

How I managed the struggle:

  • The Day Job: From morning to evening, I was a carpenter.
  • The Night Dream: From evening to late night, I was a student of the internet.
  • Learning Code: I spent 3 months learning HTML and CSS because I thought it was necessary to build a site. This “mistake” actually became my strength.
  • The First Steps: I started with Google Blogger, then moved to WordPress with my first domain, missingideas.com.
  • The Learning Curve: It took me nearly 4 years of “double work” to understand how SEO, hosting, and content really work.

The Big Leap: Full-Time Blogging (December 2019)

In December 2019, I finally decided to put down my carpentry tools for good. I became a full-time blogger. I had only 8 months of savings in my bank account and a big dream.

But then, life gave me a huge shock:

  • The AdSense Disaster: Just two months after quitting my job, Google suspended my AdSense account.
  • Zero Income: My primary way of earning was gone. I had no job, no monthly salary, and my savings were disappearing.
  • The Final Choice: I had two options: go back to the workshop as a carpenter or find a new way to survive online.
  • The Birth of Affiliate Marketing: I refused to give up. I started gpresstheme.com to help people with the GeneratePress theme.

The $20 Miracle & WP Blogging 101

After 4 months of working day and night without earning a single rupee, I made my first affiliate sale of $20. Why that $20 changed my life:

  • It Gave Me Hope: It proved I could earn without AdSense.
  • It Defined My Mission: I realized that if I help people solve their problems, the money will follow.
  • The Launch: I eventually moved all my energy into WP Blogging 101. I wanted to create a place where beginners could get honest, technical, and simple advice.

Our Motive: Why We Build Differently

WP Blogging 101 is not just another tutorial site. It is a roadmap built by someone who has been in the trenches.

The WP Blogging 101 Principles:

  • Minimalist & Clean: I hate cluttered websites. My site uses a clean white design. It’s modern, neat, and professional.
  • Speed is King: Because I know code, I make sure every page loads instantly. Your time is valuable.
  • Human-First Content: I work alone. I don’t have teams to write junk content. I write everything myself, adding my personal experience and “Human Touch” to every guide.
  • No Fluff: I don’t use hard words. I explain things in a way that even a student can understand.

The Harpreet Kumar “Ecosystem”

My love for coding and building didn’t stop with one blog. I have built a network of tools to help other digital creators:

  • TeleWebGram: A directory for finding high-quality Telegram channels and groups.
  • IsItDownOrJustMe: A simple service to check if a website is having server issues.
  • WP Deals Pro: A curated collection of the best WordPress deals, discounts, and lifetime offers.
  • Hostinger Coupon Code: A dedicated site for the latest and working Hostinger coupon codes and deals.
  • Mera Ration Old Version: A resource page providing download links and information for the Mera Ration app.
  • Chrome Extensions: I build custom tools like DA PA Checker and ScreenGrab to make your work faster.
