Here are 10 simple
steps to start your own internet business:
1.
Come up with a website name - have at least 3 or 4 options or more.
2. Register the domain name with companies such as Register.com or GoDaddy.com.
3. Most hosting companies let you build your own site and have simple templates and instructions along the way.
The cost to have them host your website varies depending
on which company you choose. (Register.com charges
$12.95 a month.)
4. Select topics/categories you would like to feature (For example, we provide
Breed Information, Puppies, Photos, Videos, Music, etc...)
5. It is important to have content on your site that personalizes it and make it stand out from the rest.
Follow your passion and include information that you have from your own personal experience. Relevant content also helps
in generating traffic through search engines such as Google, Yahoo!, etc...
6. You can choose from thousands of products to sell on your site. Popular
items that have done well are eBooks, specialty items and services you promote through the website.
7. While content is important, photos and graphics are equally important.
Make sure they are compelling for anyone visiting your site.
8. Make any necessary additions & changes periodically to improve your site.
9. Once you feel your site is ready for the world to see you need to do some
marketing. One of the simplest and most effective way to generate traffic for free are Craigslist ads. Do as many
free classifieds as possible! Others to try ... Kijiji, Oodle, etc. Another effective and free way to market your
site is through word of mouth. Tell everyone you know.
10. Finally, you need to spend some money on advertising. An inexpensive way to start is doing
Google AdWords. You can invest as little as $1 a day. A good tip is to test your ads to see which ones work and
which ones don't.
It's
that simple! The site you are currently visiting is a real life example of what can be created with just a $15 investment!
We did it and you can too! Join the many entrepreneurs
who enjoy the freedom of having their own online business.
Good Luck!
