Starting Your Own Web Site

This one can be real fun AND profitable! Are you familiar with the Internet?
Have you created your own web-page? Let me give you some encouragement, I
created this website without spending a single dime. All it has cost me is a lot
of time. It is my labor of love you could say! If you have a desire to learn a
little HTML and a desire to make some money then this is for you! I learned HTML
in about an hour (not ALL of it, just the basics). I guess I learned enough to
build this site! Now, you can't get rich off running a website but if you get
enough exposure then it could bring in some extra cash.
Getting Started:
First things first, you need to decide what you want your website to be about.
Do you like gardening? Cooking? Childcare? Write down things you have a passion
about. Now sit and think, is this a website others would like to see? Now that
you have decided on what you want to make, you need to find a domain name. You
can read up on doing so, in my article,
"How To Register a Domain Name".
If you just want to create a freebie site....try Angelfire, Tripod,
Geocities, iVillage...etc..etc...etc. You will have no problem finding a free
place to start with! Don't worry about knowing a lot about web-page building.
Most of these sites offer a simple page wizard that will walk you step by step through
the process. If you want to really customize it though visit web-sites on HTML
tutorials. My favorite is:
HTML Goodies. It will teach you everything you need
and want to know in a easy and understandable way. Then get busy and create your
website! Read more: (
Make Your Own Website )
Once you are finished you will need to "submit" your website to search engines
so people can find you! A good place to start is
AddMe
they will help you get started! Now once you are up and running you can start to
join affiliate programs. This is the good part! When you display their banners
on your website YOU get paid! You won't make a fortune but over time as your
website gets more and more exposure, you can expect to make some decent money.
You can get started in affiliate programs by joining
AffiliateFuel,
Offerquest,
Link Share, and
ClickThru to get you started. Then you sit back and relax.
KINDA! I
will tell you that I spend a minimum of 4 HOURS A DAY working on my website. If
you want it to be good it will take a lot of time. I truly enjoy doing it
because it is my own creation. It is so exciting when people start visiting and
e-mailing you with encouragement. Even if I don't make a dime off this site, I
just enjoy helping out others!
I also have my own affiliate program that is free to sign up for and easy to set
up! You can earn almost $15 per sale with my GroovyMoms Job List. You could
start earning today -

More exposure for your site can be had by purchasing a product like
Webposition Gold. This is award winning
software to help you optimize your web pages for better search engine rankings.
I started using
Webposition Gold about 4 years ago. At
first--it can seem a little overwhelming. I went to far as to print out their
ENTIRE manual and have it in a three ring binder. It took me over a year to
fully understand how to use this product to it's fullest--but it was worth the
time and agony.
Another piece of software I use ---has been incredibly helpful...
SubmitWolf puts the power of site
submission to search engines in my OWN hands. It's easy--and affordable. I can
submit pages deep within my site--and I can submit when I want, as often as I
want. Of course--following submission rules for each search engine is important.
You don't want to spam them! Big NO NO. The makers of
SubmitWolf offer so many fabulous tools.
Do not get overwhelmed--just try to remember your goal, and your budget--and add
these tools as you can:
BeOnTop - Website Optimization and
Analysis Software:
Priority Submit - Express Search Engine
Inclusion Service:
Global Promote Homepage
Trellian FTP - FTP Client Software
Trellian Button Factory - Create web
buttons, icons
Classify PRO - Classified Submission
Software
* I use every week! I highly recommend!
Armed with your own software---site promotion can be easier and more
powerful--and in the end, LESS expensive than hiring some of these promotion
services! There are free SEO sites out there with cool tools you can use
absolutely FREE. Global Promoter is one of them.
It takes time--I am not going to lie. But the pay off?? You could be working
from home in a year--with a nice little site that bring in $1000 or more in a
month.
