Introduction:
How to build a website
|
Now
you have your
niche and products, the next step is to build a website around this
theme.
But I can’t build a website!!
With
a few
instructions and the right resources, some of them are free, you can
build a website. But before you build the site there are a few things
you need to address
|
To learn in detail how to
choose domain names, register your domain, build your site, get
graphics for your site in video format, free of charge, click on the
banner below. I would personally recommend getting the upgrade
offered but if you are seriously cash strapped,the free membership is
well worth while
Choosing
a domain name: The domain name is your websites address eg http://www.affiliatemarketingintro.com.
That is this sites domain name. Select
a domain name that is relevant to your sites content.
Tips on choosing a
domain name:
- Try
as far as
possible to select a domain name that is easy
for you visitors to remember
- Get
a domain name
that includes your keyword
- Get
as short a domain name as possible
- Choose
a domain name that has meaning eg affiliatemarketingintro.com rather
than ami.com
- If
your domain name has multiple words, then try to get a domain name that
the words are separated by hyphens. E.G A Togo [a Country in Africa]
visitors site could be togo-now.com. togonow.com could be read by the
search engines from the keyword point of view as to go now. Also use
hyphens, not underscores. That way the google search bots and other
site engine bots will see the words togo and now. With the underscore
version the search engine just sees togo_now as one word
- Try
and get a domain name that ends in .com. This is because most visitors
are used to .com and they will automatically type this into their
address bar. Also said to be better for ranking
Register
your domain name: There are lots of registrars on the Internet
but one of the most popular and reasonably priced registrar is
Godaddy. To check availability of your chosen domain name
and register it for about $10 per year click here www.GoDaddy.com

very easy once you
have the right training. Your options are

Another, free HTML editor can be

may have to learn a little HTML[language for building websites] as you
mature in the affiliate marketing world

Get a
program that
Teaches you how to build a website, gives you all the templates and
graphics you need, includes hosting, domain name registration and
marketing training in the package. I recommend Ken Envoy's
program if this is the choice that suits you. It is the only package
that i could find that teaches and helps you implement the whole
affiliate marketing process from brainstorming, through website
building and publication to monetizing and promoting your site
Take
a video tour of the program here. It offers a FREE TRIAL
You can also get
others to build your
site for you, all you do is give them the script and they will
do the rest for a fee. Just search google and don't forget to read the
fine print before signing on. We don't recommend this
Now you have
built your niche targeted, content rich, keyword loaded website, you
need to get a hosting account. Until now your website has only existed
on your laptop, now you want it on the web. For your first website i
recommend getting an economy hosting account from a hosting service.
Now there are several hosting companies online but i use GoDaddy and
have been very happy with them. Great for newbies because they provide
a good customer service.
