WAYS TO PROMOTE
Website Building Tutorial
Using FatCow Hosting Server For Example.
…………………………………
Welcome, If you are just starting out, looking for an easy way to build a website for yourself, your club, or your organization without having to pay $500 or more for a website.
Couple Tips before we start:
Identify your market. What kinds of people would each of your website ideas serve? Some websites, like Yahoo or Google, are as general as it gets, while other sites, like Weebles, serve a very specific bunch. Write down the target market next to each of the ideas on your list. Conduct market research–Who is your audience? What do they do? How old are they? What are their other interests? All of this information can help you make your website more useful to you.
Do keyword research to determine if other people are searching for your topics and learn more about your potential clients. There are many free keyword tools to help you get more information about your topic. You will need to find keywords that are in demand (people are looking for it) yet have some chance of finding your site. Like a site on web hosting is too broad of a topic. Forum webhosting is a little better (narrower) topic.
Figure out your commitment. How much time and money are you willing to put into your website? If you want to create an everlasting e-business, you would have to spend lots of time and money. Remember that if you are making a content site you have to spend less money and less investment. But check below
- Content sites will require less investment, but you will also face more competition, since anyone can start a content site. To make money (Affiliate Program: Ex: Bee4Biz) from this kind of site, you provide information and generate income from the traffic you receive through advertising. The trick also will be to ‘spin’ your content and use specific keywords to narrow down your topic and write high quality content directed to specific people searching for those specific keywords.
- E-commerce sites, which sell products, will need more maintenance and attention. You will also need to think about shipping, sales, order form security, inventory updates, and everything that a person with an offline storefront would have to manage.
- You can also sell other people’s products which will let you make money without investing in any products or worrying about shipping.
- Narrow down your list. Which ideas stand to make the most profits? Which ideas require the most commitment? Which ideas look like they’d be fun to pursue? You will be spending time working on your website, so choose the idea you are most passionate about (that is also profitable and practical for you).
- Register your domain name.(Included in hosting) Find a domain name that is easy to remember and spell, if you use domains ending with .com, you will end up with more traffic. But remember to get creative!
- Choose a web host. Choosing a web host is not at all easy and it really is hard to choose, we would recomment Fatcow because it has Weebly Premium included(See below) and it is one of the most reliable hosting + Affordable compare to others. For start up and owning less than 10 domains, you will find this more than enough – if you are planning to build a web ring with more than 50 domains. You would need to consider paying a bit more for a dedicated server.
- Research online website building services. You may wish to learn HTML or CSS code, but there are other ways to make a site for people more familiar with desktop publishing software.
Weebly Premium: (FREE Included in hosting) When I first started with internet marketing, Weebly was my favorite. I didn’t have to write any codes or upload any plugins. All you really need to do is click and drag all your contents – then click PUBLISH. Your done!

WordPress and Templates: (FREE included with hosting) For most of my websites, WordPress is my favorite tool to build a site. They have many templates ready for use.(Once you have the hosting – If you need help on how to install and start using WordPress – Click here for step by step instruction.)
