Idiots Guide For Building A Business Website

Have you ever wondered how a person builds a website for

business? Really, not as complicated as you might think!

1) First you must decide what you are going to sell or market,

whether it would be "affiliate marketing" or a niche sight idea.

If you are just starting out I would highly recommend "affiliate

or associate marketing" because 90 percent of affiliate programs

are free to join, and very easy to set up.

2) After you have decided your business idea you need to choose

an appropriate title for your website. Example: The Dog and Cat

Supply House, not My Dog and Cat Supply House or Jill's Dog and

Cat Supply House.

3) Next and very important your domain name. Domain name is the

address of your website so people can find your website when

searching the Internet. I would recommend a domain name that

matches your title very closely such as:

http://www.the-dog-and-cat-supply-house.com this is done because

if someone searches for dog and cat supply, guess what your

sight can be found easily. Domain names can be registered

through many web hosting companies for a small fee per year.

While registering your domain you will need to have your website

hosted on a web server. A web server is a computer or group of

computers which keep your website on the World Wide Web. You

will be able to upload your files and change them at anytime,

for instance price changes or advertising changes to your

website. You're asking what web hosting company I should choose.

There are many hundreds and even thousands of companies who will

host your site. I would suggest a host who has very little down

time for maintenance and reasonably priced. I use Website Source

which I highly recommend. Please visitWebsite Source

4) So, now what? You now need to know "html"

(hyper-text-markup-language) or if you are new to all of this

may I suggest a web building editor such as Frontpage. The

reason I suggest Frontpage is because it is a WYSIWYG (what you

see is what you get) type editor for building website. With

Frontpage you will be able to edit and publish your website

directly to your web hosting server.

5) I feel the most important item when building your website

are the content and the keywords used so that the search engines

will see your website. I have 2 free email courses related to

this subject.

important item for consideration is linking to other website or

called exchanging links. Recepical linking gives you and the

website you are linking to a better web presence for search

engine ranking or the importance of your sight. Our free course

on linking can be found at:

Remember to learn before you leap and your business will grow on

the World Wide Web.
