How Do I Make My Own Website To Start An Online Business
By Franck | May 5, 2009
How Do I Make My Own Website?
Before I reply to this question, I just wanted to talk about a very important point. Actually, this is crucial for your online success.
You must have a website to make money on the Internet. When I say website, it doesn’t necessarily mean your old fashioned html site (they still allow their owners to earn thousands and thousands of dollars every single year) but you can simply use w wordpress blog like I am doing here.
You do not need to have any html (or any other complicated language) to have a web presence.
But you do need a website if you want to earn a significant income on the Internet.
I use blogs and website in my online business, and each of them has its own purpose. As an example, I use my blog to:
1. Drive traffic from the search engines (search engines love blogs)
2. Interact with my subscribers (email list and rss) and first time visitors
3. Promote my own products
4. Promote affiliate products
5. Build my lists
6. Quickly add content to my newsletter
Blogs are well known to have many distractions, and thus lowering the response to your offer (whether it’s getting a click to a paid product, or adding subscribers to your list.).
Many marketers turn their wordpress blog into a static sites, and there is no difference with a plain html site after that except that it’s easier to update.
Plus when you start using all the web 2.0 sites like Squidoo, Hubpages, Zimbio, quizilla, wetpaint and others, you have everything you need to quickly and easily create pages and pages of content.
So how do you make your own website?
There are many ways to create a website:
You can use the design dashboard which is the web design and creation software I recommend to my coaching students
2. NVU (now Kompozer)
You can use the good old NVU, it’s an open source software, it does the job and I made thousands and thousands of dollars using this tool.
3. Wordpress
You an use wordpress (I recommend that you host it on your server though) or any other blog platform, but I do recommend wordpress because it’s so easy to manage.
There is also a free option, but it will be hosted on wordpress server, that means that you are nor really in control since they can choose to delete your blog whenever they want.
4. EMERGENCY OPTION: Web 2.0 Sites
Web 2.0. sites should be used to build backlinks to your own sites, but… you can still piggyback on web 2.0 properties like quizilla and the other one I listed above. With this option, just remember that the site is not really yours, and I wouldn’t put my business in someonelse’s hands…
Building your own website is really easy, and if you don’t have your own site yet, I recommend that you start with a free blogger blog at http://www.blogger.com, it’s free, fast, and easy, and you can get started in less than 5 minutes, even if you are slow.
Plus, with your blog, you will get traffic even if you don’t have a clue about seo (search engine optimization)

Wordpress is an excellent and easy tool to use for making static sites. I have a static niche site made with wordpress and it has surpassed my blogs in earnings

Hi Ninah,
Good to see that your business is growing. A Blog is an excellent tool to communicate and drive traffic to your offer, but it’s not the best for conversions..

what’s your thoughts about surveys for money online. some of my members told me that it is possible to get some bucks just getting surveys for money online. can it be real or not. I’m not genuinely sure. In internet there is uncountable surveys sites which tells that it is feasible to make wealth working from home and just taking surveys. In my countryside there was some companies which in past offered fill offline surveys for the sake of cash. In fact I used to some of them. Then one great friend told me that his fellow friend sent him one internet website called surveys for money
in fact curious somebody seen that website ahead cause he tells that it is realizable to get some dollars in that way. Maybe someone can write here your thoughts for that. Thanks in advance and sorry for offtopic.
