Steps to making your first website

There comes a time when many internet users ask "How do you make your own website?".

Anyone can buy a domain name and some paid hosting but then you need to get them together and load up a content management system like Wordpress so you can upload your articles, images and other media.

I found it difficult to find information on how this process works and the steps you need to take to get everything up and running. For a simple summary of each of the steps, see this article on How to Make a Wordpress Site

Investing in your Online Enterprise

I have long been advising people to begin their online earning career by starting off using free services to get a feel for the internet and learn the basics of Search Engine Optimization.

Anyone who sticks with this move will eventually get to the stage where they need to spend some money to make more money.

I strongly recommend that people invest in tools, not Get Rich Quick Schemes.

For my notes on how I made my decisions when I got to this stage see this article on Online Marketing Tools.

 

Life after Adsense

The easiest way to monetize your online writing is to use Google's adsense. It is easy to integrate into your site but has its limitations.

You will often get a greater return using other methods.

These include affiliate programs and direct product sales.

Beginners are advised to start off with adsense and progress from there once their traffic builds.

Earning online is a journey and there will always be more to learn and more ways to make money.

Increase efficiency - Stop Wasting time

Any time you spend earning an income online is a cost to you.

The more efficient you are the better your returns will be. The biggest drain on efficiency is wasting time on projects with no potential. In order to save wasting time you need to understand the traffic potential of each keyword, the monetization options, and most importantly the competition.

If you fail to understand all three, you will inevitably waste time, and as a result, money.

Choosing the Best Gift Means Not Choosing It

I was given good advice once - buy someone a gift that they would enjoy but not buy themselves. This will go a long way in helping you pick some excellent gifts but particularly for family members, who require a Christmas and Birthday gift every year, the choice gets increasingly hard.

The simple way of choosing the perfect gift is to give a gift card and an Amazon Gift Card makes sure the recipient gets exactly what they want. no one offers more choice.

After all, you can't be expected know what they want, but they can.
