So you are ready to begin creating your own web site. Where do you begin?

There is method to the process and it is done in steps. You take the steps at your own pace.

You have already made step one, you have an ISP (Internet Service Provider) or you would not be able to get on the Internet in the first place. It doesn’t matter who the provider is, but if you are unfamiliar with the term you at least know the names of the companies… AOL, AT&T, Cox Cable. There is some company providing Internet service to you, that is your ISP.

Step 2. The next step you want to take is getting a domain name. There are a lot of providers for this service. Names you may recognize are GoDaddy, which claims to be the largest registrar and Network Solutions. The one I am going to recommend 1&1. The reason is, they seem to have the best prices for domain registration, at least for now. You will need to do some planning at this point. You want to actually do some thinking about your domain name. Choose a name that has some relevance to what you plan to do. When you get to the site where you will register the name, there will be a box to enter your choice and in a couple of seconds, you’ll know if that name is available. If it is, just register it.

Step 3. The next step may be a little more difficult. You need to choose an IPP (Internet Presence Provider). That may sound complicated, but it really just means you need someplace to host your domain. You may be able to host a domain for free at the same place you log on, at your ISP. Just check with your provider. If you don’t want to host there, there are lots of choices for this. You will usually be able to host your domain at the same place you registered.

Step 4. The next step is to build a web page. This is a little more complicated, but again, your hosting company will usually have a free web site builder to make things simple. There are a host of programs you can get for creating web sites. There are free, like Kompozer and My Free Web Site Builder which are really easy, and one a little more complex which is NVU. Then there are web site programs for a cost like DreamWeaver, a really robust program (but NVU has a lot of the same features).

If all of this seems a little overwhelming, there is help.

There is free software available to help you build your website. I have a couple of sites here where you can WATCH a video to help you learn how to do all this stuff.

Affiliate marketing is one of the best ways for someone to market and advertise online. It will help you to make some more money, but it will also cause online sales of your product to go up as well. You will want to keep in mind that affiliate marketing is something that you can use to generate more interest for your own website and products, as well as, make a profit by selling others. You’ll want to consider cashing-in on this marketing scheme, because it is almost a no-fail plan. You’ll need to consider having good connections that you can rely on, as well as, being a good connection yourself.

Keep in mind that there are three ways that you will be able to receive payment. You will be able to use PPC, PPS, and PPA. When it comes to pay-per-click it is where you will get compensated for so many hits. You’ll need to make your products and the website look inviting and also interesting. You need to get the customers to click in order to receive payment. As for the PPS or pay-per-sale, it is exactly what it sounds like. You will get paid for each sale that you make. It’s very simple. Then there is PPA. This means pay-per-action. This is where you will be able to get paid for every time someone registers to the site, makes a purchase, clicks, and so on. There are many ways that you’ll be able to make a profit with pay-per-action.

1.  Burn the midnight oil.  There is no substitute for persistence
when it comes to announcing your presence on the Net.

2.  Submit to all major search engines.  Each engine has a
different  submission format.  They take from 3 days to 6 weeks to
process new  submissions.  Go back and check out each one, and if
you’re not there  write and ask why.

Make sure you have all appropriate keywords in a <meta> tag in
the <head> element of your index page.  Search engine spiders will
read this text, but it won’t be visible by web browsers.  With
millions of pages out there competing for the top spot on a search
list,  choice of keywords is all-important.

Repeating certain keywords too many  times causes some search
engines  to ignore that particular word.   Placing keywords in the
<title> element of  each page and sub-page  helps give additional
exposure and helps bring up  your site near the  top of some
search lists.

3.  Make sure your page works.  Get the bugs out.  Make sure it
loads  fast.  Make sure you’re on a fast and reliable server.
Surfing the  Net is a lot like playing channel roulette on TV.
Net surfers are  easily bored.  Grab their attention and don’t
lose your viewers with  slow-loading complex graphics or a long
fill-out form.

4.  Answer your email.  A Web page is a lot like any other ad.
The  point is to get your customer to call you, or send email.
Follow up  your leads immediately.  Follow up a second time.
Email is free,  remember, you have nothing to lose but your time.
Practice your typing  and computer skills.  The faster you can use
the tools, the more  customers you can contact with your time.

5.  Use all the free advertising sources you can find.  Use any
personal  Web space you get as part of your access account for an
additional URL  linked back to your commercial site.

6.  Use newsgroups discreetly.  They are a valuable resource if
used  wisely.  Stay on-topic and cross-post reasonably.
Newsgroups have  been abused, and there are many subscribers who
will complain  angrily.  Excessive abuse can get your account
closed by your access  provider, because their news providers can
shut them down.

7.  Broadcast email is a touchy subject.  Many people object to
receiving unsolicited email, and you can get flamed mightily.
When  people complain, remove them from your broadcast list.  Some
access  and presence providers will shut you down for too many
complaints.   Others are more understanding.  The source of your
broadcast list is  all-important, and if obtained from classified
ads you will get much  better response.  Purchased lists generally
provoke lots of complaints,  because these people have been
spammed to death already.  Floodgate is  an excellent program for
getting email addresses and removing  complainers, but it’s
expensive and not well supported.   Pegasus  is a great email
program for creating distribution lists, and it’s free.

8.  Paid banner advertising is up to you.  At last check, the Wall
Street Journal Online wants $10,000 per month for a 1″ square
graphic  link, next to Toyota and the other big boys.  Who else
gets the most  hits besides porno?  Do your advertising dollars
turn into sales  dollars?  Do you really have the budget to use
paid advertising on  the Web?

Paid broadcast email advertising seems to work.  There are now
quite a few outfits offering this service,  including:
denisem@dmv.com (Quantum Innovations); alan1305@aol.com
(Megaweb); dvandyke@hevanet.com (Follow Up Professionals),
Info.now@worldnet.att.net (Info.now).  All these services are
reasonably priced.

9.  Reciprocal links are free of charge, and they do help spread
the  word.  It takes lots of time, and there are thousands of
sites that  will gladly exchange links with you.

10.  See tip #1.  Burn the midnight oil.  Go to the Commercial-
Directory and follow all the links.  Follow Up!  Go back later and
follow up again.  The Net changes fast.  New sites appear daily.
There is no substitute for  persistence when it comes to
announcing your presence on the Net.

In contrast, the majority of people are followers, and dont possess the imagination, the creativity needed to be self propelled. These are the ones who ultimately fail in affiliate marketing.

More and more people are joining one of the most popular businesses around – online affiliate marketing. Its because in this business, there are no bosses to order you around. There are no deadlines to meet, and you get to decide how hard you want to work. You only need the rights level of personal development to succeed in a business such as this, and with the resolve and determination thats in you, you can succeed!

Just what are the traits needed to be able to succeed as an affiliate marketer? What must you have within yourself to be able to do well? Theres a lot of competition involved in affiliate marketing, so whats needed to rise above the majority of marketers losing money?

You must be equipped with just the essentials necessary to propel yourself forward. Here are five character traits you must ultimately possess or develop, to have any hope of making it.

1- The very first quality is the willingness to learn, and t o allow yourself to be trained. Treading through unfamiliar territory is scary stuff if you arent properly equipped, and the risk of getting lost in a sea of new challenges is high.

Learning the tricks of the trade is an important requirement of the game, and your willingness to learn it all is a paramount need, as it will give you the edge over your many competitors.

2- The second requirement is the willingness to invest time and effort, even if direct results do not seem immediately apparent. Its important to stick with it. Although several months may pass without good news, its important to hold on and be patient. Too many newbies give up hope prematurely. Without staying power, youre surely lost.

3- The third quality is self-determination. If you want to conquer the affiliate marketing world, you must have the ability to push ahead, no matter what. ‘Never say die’ is a quality each and every affiliate marketer should possess, and the ability to motivate yourself will propel you to greater heights.

4- The fourth quality is discipline. If you have the self-di scipline to work every day with all the energy you can muster, then youre that much closer to achieving gold.

5- The fifth and last quality you need is an optimistic approach. Negative attitudes and destructive comments from friends and neighbours, should not discourage you from pursuing your dream of affiliate success. You shouldnt let any negative influence affect your attitude toward your goal. Its important to remain the captain of your ship, and stay the course, as they say.

The ingredients needed to succeed in a business such as affiliate marketing are very demanding, and even overwhelming. But the most important thing you need is to believe in yourself. This positve approach will keep you dynamic, and ever pus hing ahead. Its this capacity that will ultimately determine the level of your success or failure.

Affiliate marketing is all about putting your fate in your own hands. The right attitude is the key, because without it, youre doomed. Be brave, stay focused and resolved, and you will make it!

Good luck to you.

This is an excellent video on getting paid for surveys at this site.

The internet has become a vital tool for companies to market and even sell their products and services. You’ll find that you’ll be able to work through your websites in order to make some profit, but you’ll also be able to use the websites as a direct way to traffic yourself through other sites too. When you develop your own product, you’ll want to consider using a pay-per-sale program or you may want to consider using a pay-per-click program. A lot of companies will pay you for each time someone clicks on the item, regardless if they buy, while others are looking for that direct product sale. You’ll want to consider that when you are using the direct product as a way to collect commissions, you are going to really have to market the product as if it is your own. This can be very profitable for both sides.

As for the history behind affiliate marketing, it began about four or five years after the launch of the internet. You’ll find there are many companies like Amazon.com or other wholesale websites that will sell products directly from the manufacturer and still get a piece of profit for each and every sale. A lot of people think that Google uses affiliate marketing, but they don’t. You have to understand that affiliate marketing is not just selling advertisements, it’s more involved than that. You’ll find there are times where you will either define the product or give it some endorsement through product reviews, but you could also open your own website store and sell it. Every sale will allow you to make some type of money in commission.
