Simply put, there are five easy steps to creating your own profitable website.
1. Domain name: what do you want to call your website?
The name of your website can reflect the type of product you are advertising with links in the words or it can be your own name.
There are several companies offering names for sale, at prices ranging from a few to thousands of dollars. Your website fees are often paid annually and can be paid in advance.
Most sites that offer domain names provide a system for offering alternative names if the one you choose is already in use.
Once selected and satisfied with your domain name, you purchase it from the company and they provide you with the details for your name registration. I use Godaddy. Others include 1and1, PayPal, 123-reg among others. 2. Web hosting company – who will host your website?
The web hosting provider is the company that provides you the internet space to display your website. It can be the same company that provides the domain name or a separate company.
There are many hosting companies to choose from, but be sure to select a reputable one like HostGator, 123-reg, GoDaddy, 1and1. Once you have selected the one you want to use, register or create an account.
The next step is to register your domain name with the hosting company to create and “display” your site on the Internet.
Normally, the motivation company bills the accommodation on a monthly basis.
3. Creating your website: what will it look like? The most popular and FREE website builder is WordPress.
WordPress has free tutorials and help pages to help website owners choose themes, colors, images, buttons, how to add shopping carts, etc.
Frequently asked questions and answers pages are always available if you are having trouble with something.
The main features of your site are the “Home” page, the “About” page, the “Contact” page, and often a “Disclaimer” page.
Four. Quality content – what will your website be used for?
Once you’ve built your website, it’s time to add products for advertising or content to raise the profile of your page and drive traffic to it.
Most sites use search engine optimization (SEO) to ensure that anyone using search terms through Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc., is directed to their website by inserting words or keywords into the search engine for information.
5. Fully operational, is it working properly? When your site has the correct content, pages, and information, it’s important to test all links, pages, details, spelling, grammar, and images to make sure everything loads correctly and is correct.
Ask someone you know to visit and test each part, letting them know of any problems or errors so they can correct them immediately.
