How To Start Your Own Website
By Jennifer Shircel
Im one of those people that always wanted a website, but
had no clue as to using the internet. I
could check my email and that was about it.
I never heard of ISP, FTP or all those other words.
When I discovered that I had the website making program
Microsoft FrontPages I was determined to learn something about html.
Then when I discovered I could earn some money by having a website I
wanted to start yesterday! And here
I am, still dont know hardly anything, but Im running a website!
So believe me when I say, if I can, you can!
Here are some basics to get you going:
1.)
Pick a topic. Decide
what you want your site to be about. Be
sure to choose something that is very interesting to you so that you keep your
site new and exciting and your visitors returning.
Research, research, research! Get
a lot of information for your visitors to read.
Add a lot of content to your site, not just link exchanges.
Search engines (like yahoo and google) love content.
2.)
Get web hosting and a domain name.
The host is who holds your site on the internet and your domain name is
www. What you want it to say .com. You
can get free hosting, but these usually are not good for making money because
the hosting company typically posts their own ads on your site and will not let you post any. Besides,
who would take your site serious if you're not even serious enough to spend $7 a
month on your own business. For excellent and affordable hosting, check

3.)
Design your site. This
is the fun stuff (if youre the creative type).
You may either do it yourself or you could pay a professional to do it.
If you dont know any html then you can purchase a program like
Microsoft FrontPages or Dreamweaver and do it yourself.
These programs make designing a website a snap!
You can also find free web templates out there which have the basic
design, you just have to add the words.
4.)
Get affiliates for your site.
Now this is where the make money part comes in.
Being an affiliate means that you are helping companies to sell their
products. Typically they will either
pay you a commission on a sale of their product or by a click on their link.
Be sure to choose affiliates that coincide with your topic.
Some great places to go for affiliates are Google
AdSense and Commission Junction.
5.)
Start Advertising. Add
your sites url (the link to your site) to all of your signatures.
Tell everyone you can about your new site; family, friends, coworkerseveryone!
Add a link to your site in all of your emails.
A good site to check out is www.MomPack.com
You can find many other moms on there looking to help you advertise.
6.)
Start Making Money!!
