Can you create a website from scratch Of course you can I did it but it took a long time to acquire the knowledge to do it when you’re a newbie.
Trying to find information on the internet that will give you honest step by step information on how to make a website is hard, it’s out there but you have to do a lot of digging you get a little bit here a little bit their before someone tries to sale you something, now don’t get me wrong I have bought countless products online and was glad to give the money but the people that get my money offer me something of value.
Now I know people will tell you the money is in the list and it’s very important blah blah blah, it is important but it’s only a part of what you need for success online. There are three things you will need after you have created your site.
The first and most important thing is traffic in fact I think it’s more important than your website, but it’s a bit like the chicken and the egg which comes first, but without a website you will not need traffic, and without traffic you have no website you’re just another page on the search engines.
The second thing you will need is back links high quality back links, and what you will find is someone selling software to get thousands of back links in five minutes what they fail to tell the newcomer is that it’s spam, and everyone hates spam, more money down the drain you can get back links but it takes a little effort on your side.
The third thing required content unique content Google, Yahoo, Bing, all search engines love original content, better for seo.
Ok all that out of the way if I started again and knew then what I know now what would I do different.
I would choose my niche very carefully.

I would try to get a domain name that encapsulated exactly the terms people are putting in to their browsers  by checking keywords, much easier to try and get ranked when you have they exact term in your domain name and title tags.

You will need hosting check in forums for the best ones I prefer Bluehost or Hostgator the help is fantastic when you’re just starting out.

Create your site to best suit the needs of the people searching in that niche; put 8 to 10 articles on your site for content. I would also go to Google analytics sign up for a free account place my code on my site and track its progress.

You should Ping your site, so the search engines index it and also every time you post another article.

At this stage you have everything in place, your niche picked domain name acquired, hosting purchased tracking in place, now you need a little traffic people will tell you do this do that try Adwords, try Seo, try Social Bookmarking, try Social Media, their all fine ways of getting a little traffic and when you master it a lot of traffic but when you’re starting out BUY SOME TRAFFIC! it helps get you noticed by the search engines.

At this stage I would start creating back links high quality back links and for those of you that don’t know what a backlink is, it’s your domain name on another website. It’s that simple.

Now the only thing you have to do  is repeat the steps put content on your site ping it get more traffic and more back links, and watch your site rise inching it’s way to the no 1 spot.

Introduction.

When I started as an Internet Newbie, I found there was a lack of texts that actually instructed me how to start my own website from scratch.  Sure there were texts, and sites about starting a website, but most of them left so much of the necessary information out, it made it very difficult for the genuine internet newbie to get started.  So I came up with an idea, what if I wrote an E-Book, which Instructed the Internet Newbie exactly how to get started from scratch.  A book that gave illustrated step by step instructions, so that other newbie’s wouldn’t have to find out the long and hard way.  A set of instructions, which enables even the most basic Internet User to Get Their Very Own Web Site Online Today!  So here it is, follow the steps and you will have your first website on line in just hours, for little or no costs.  Enjoy, and I hope you find the book helpful and the best of luck in the future, To Your Internet Marketing Success!!

Section 1.  Gathering All the Tools Required For Your Website.

I would like to get started, so I ‘am going to list out what you will need all of which, or most of which are free so we are off to a great start.

  1. Domain Name

The first thing you will need is a domain name.  It’s wise to take a moment at this stage to consider what name will best suit what business or niche you want to enter.

If you pick your own name like I did www.davidcareyonline.com you could enter any business you like.  However if you would like to niche it down, let’s say you are into dog training, you could try www.trainingtipsfordogs.com for an example.  What ever you decide you will need to buy your domain to get started.

There are lots of domain registrars, and it does not matter where in the world that business is based.  I recommend www.hostgator.com or www.bluehost.com , particularly Blue Host as they have an on-line chat facility.  What this means is if you get stuck or have any problems, you just type your problem into the online chat area, and help is there in an instant.  Take a good look at the different companies, and what they are offering and what you can afford to get started, but try not to get stuck on the technical side of it just yet.

  1. Web Hosting.

After you have picked a domain name, you will need web hosting. Every single website needs hosting, the price of web hosting varies from company to company but it’s normally between 6 and 15 $ per month.

This is a crucial part in creating a website as it will host your domain name / website name and park it until such time as you need to launch your website to the World Wide Web.

Sometimes domain registrars will offer you web hosting.  You do not have to get web hosting where you purchase your domain, but as a rule it is much easier to keep track of everything.  As I said I always recommend www.bluehost.com as the help if required, is second to none.

NB*Make sure that you put your hosting details in a safe place, as you will need them when we get to the FTP part of the book.

Web Editors

There are thousands of different web editors. This is the piece of software, which we will be using to design our site. Some of the most popular are Dreamweaver or FrontPage, it can be quite expensive when you’re only starting out, and so for the purpose of this Book I will be downloading Kompozer.

So go to kompozer.net and download kompozer. When you enter the site you will see this.

Click on the download, this will appear press ok.

1. Click ok then extract all files.

The next thing you will see is this.

Just click extract. This will happen.

When it’s finished it will show all the files in that folder, now we want to create a shortcut

to our desktop so Right click on the kompozer icon a dropdown menu will appear scroll down to

where it says send to. Another dropdown menu will appear scroll down and choose

desktop ( create shortcut ).

That’s it you have successfully downloaded from the internet.

It’s simple when you know how, but it’s sometimes the little

things that no one explains that leave you stuck when learning something new.

Many Thanks

David

Making Money Online: Picking a Web Hosting Company.

Posted on by
Picking a good web hosting company is important to keeping your website open and your costs down. There are many to choose from, as well as different pricing plans to look over. Depending on the amount of sites that you intend on building, you may want to consider a larger web space in the long run.
You should start with the smallest web space that you can get to test the waters, just incase niche website Internet marketing does not work out for you. You may want to add on later, so make sure that your provider offers that option.
You will want to choose a provider that has a reliable service. If your site is down or takes to long to open up when visitors are trying to get in, it may lead them to click out of your site and move on to the next one. They will also more than likely not visit in the future since they will remember their bad experience. For this reason, it is probably best to stick with a well known company who you can check reliable references on. There are many small hosting providers that offer space for as low as $.50 to $1 per month, however, you never know what you will be getting and many of them want you to pay for at least a years worth in advance.
You will also want one that has the most affordable hosting. If you can create your own small site or have one made for you, then you will probably be able to find space for as low as $3 to $4 per month. However, if you need to choose a company that offers a What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) website builder, then you will probably end up paying $10 to $15 per month for the smallest amount of space. But if this is the only way that you can build a site, then it is necessary.
Some web hosting providers may also offer a deal on a yearly URL or other products when you make a web hosting purchase.
Ultimately, whatever web hosting provider you choose will depend on your individual needs and what you can afford. Hopefully you will be able to snap up a well known provider at a  price who will supply you with a service you need.
To your success,
David
