How to Set-up a Website That Will Make Money Online Part 1
How to Set-up a Website that will Make Money Online Setting everything up You have several options when it comes to setting up a site or a blog. I will list the free choices first:
Use Google’s Blogger or any other free service which allows you to create pages and such Acquire free hosting (there are plenty – however 90% utilize ads on your website in order to make up for the “free” service) Or simply use Hubpages or Squidoo – You won’t technically “own” your own site, however I highly recommend using Hubpages since it is very easy to start out with especially if you are a newbie.
Hubpages set you up with – Kontera (In text advertising), Google Adsense (Contextual Advertising), Amazon Assossiates (Affiliate Advertising) and eBay (Affiliate Advertising). You also get a pretty addicting experience – you get your own profile which has a score (so do your
hubs) and the higher the score, the more traffic you get. Out of the 3 above I would personally recommend Hubpages (for the short term). You will see results faster – you can spend more time writing articles rather than fidgeting with the template – you will have good SERPs (Search Engine Ranking Placement, – what page you appear in the results for a particular keyword) from the beginning.I do not – however – recommend using Hubpages – if you are aiming for more than ,000 a month *which is already extremely difficult solely using Hubpages*. There are plenty of people who make a good income with a Blogger blog. There is one pitful to this – Google owns you. Google can shut down your account for ANY reason – also the Blogger system for templates is a downright pain in the ass.
If you want to get everything right from the beginning I suggest you get a webhosting from a
company. I use Hostgator – because they were appealing and they have well-priced plans and decent customer service. You can also buy a reseller account (an account where you can sell webhosting – basically start your own webhosting company for ).
I found out a way to get 1 cent (yes .01) hosting for the first month! After that of course you pay the full price (- depending on your plan). What you need to do is this: Go sign up for a plan you want – than at the checkout, in the Coupon Code insert: 404PAGE
At least you can try out a proper webhost for a month to see if it is really for you. Other than Hostgator – there are a lot of other Webhosts which are also very good. I recommend checking out:
Lunarpages Hostmonster IX Webhosting BlueHost
You will also need a domain registrar – and for this I recommend Godaddy
If you hunt long and well
enough you should be able to find a coupon for a (dot com) for the first year (after that fees are usually per year). When you buy a domain name – it is usually recommended that you get a 2-3 keyword rich domain, depending on your niche. For example if you were dealing with Car Insurance Quotes you might come up with – www.InsuranceCarQuotes.com
I will discuss how to pick your niche later.Note – avoid buying Domain names with Hosting plans from the same source – the reason is, companies want money – and if you buy a twin plan you will have a hard time switching host/domain to another provider.
Once you have rerouted your Domain Name Server (DNS) to your host, you will need to use a script (in order to save time) to get your site up and running. I use the Content Management System (CMS) WordPress (well not really a “CMS” more of a blog) because it is very
versatile and easy to use. You can find instructions on how to install WordPress easily online – if you have a Cpanel host (which I thoroughly recommend) than you will most likely have Fantastico. Utilizing Fantastico you can install WordPress in seconds.
No matter what CMS (if you are using one) you use, the default theme is probably not of interest to you. Just search online until you find a theme you like, and modify it to your needs. Worst case scenario – hire a template designer to make one for you. CSS, PHP, and HTML are pretty easy to learn and are useful skills to attain – therefore I recommend you simply redesign an existing template.
Selecting a Niche: Many people do not know what to write about when they create or decide to create their own site. My suggestion is just write about something you’re passionate about – that way you are more likely to stay
motivated through the tough times.
If you are only creating a website in order to make money – you will probably want to select a niche which has a lot of offers or products. If you believe you’re main source of income will be coming from Google AdSense than I suggest you use the Spyfu tool. It is basically a tool which analysis a specific keyword and tells you how much you can get paid for that keyword via Google Adsense.You should use SpyFu.com to find a profitable niche – do so in conjunction with Tools.Seobook keyword research tool. Tools.Seobook.com will allow you to see how many searches are done per day for a specific keyword – and related keywords. You want to aim for long-tail keywords which receive ~100 total searches per day. This is done in order to minimize competition. Speaking of competition, you will need to check out other websites in your niche to see
how big of a “threat” they are. You will want to check the amount of backlinks, its Page Rank, its Alexa rank and so on.
