There are as many opinions about potty training, as there are mothers and grandmothers out there... lol. And, imho, not all of them work equally well for all children. Go with your mommy instincts and it will come back to you. Remember to stay positive about the whole process: cheer the successes (or even near successes), and ignore the accidents- (not literally, but don't make a big deal, they're just a part of the process, lol) try stickers if they seem to motivate your child. We never used them. We just kept a ziploc bag of individually wrapped lifesavers that the kids could pick from when they were successful. Once they begin to get the idea, get rid of the pull-ups except for nighttime... get the cloth training pants (as a reward ?).. they can FEEL if they have an accident a lot better.
Do a crazy "potty dance" when she has success on the potty. Make it a fun time...
And congratulations on this next big step! (Don't let anyone tell you she is too young... kids are all different.. my SON was trained by his 3rd birthday... and it wasn't a STRUGGLE either).
As far as EASY,... well... lol....
Oh, and you might try getting a seat that fits onto the toilet. My son never liked the little potty chairs, but he was uncomfortable on the full sized seat. If your daughter likes the little chairs, then keep one out where it is convenient for her to get to when she is playing. And you might want to keep her in dresses without the under bloomer thingees... it'll be easier and quicker for her to get on the potty.
