Build Your Website-you Can Do It

By: Gen Wright Home | Business


I have no doubt you have heard the saying the "money is in the list". You see it all over the internet marketing sites, but do you really need a list to be successful? The answer has to be yes, because once you have a decent sized list you then have a ready made customer base for any future products you wish to sell. Having this customer base will save you time of having to find new customers through advertising etc... It will also save you the money you would have possibly spent on your advertising. There are various ways of how to build your list easily. Here are a few tips of the cheapest ways to do this.

Your Own Domain

First of all you will need your own website, you send your potential customers to your site and then capture their name and email addresses with an opt in form that you have set up on the site. All this may seem a bit daunting if you have never set up a website or an opt in form before. There are plenty of videos explaining how to do this. But for a step by step, hold your hand type of training I would try Optin Profits. Once you have your site and opt in form set up it is now time to get traffic to your website. there are a couple of cheap ways to get started.

Build your website: it is something that a lot of people want to do, and you can do it. Having heard all the stories of untold fortunes being made with a few simple clicks of a mouse, we look around and decide if they can do it, so can we. We've all heard of people creating a website and going on to make millions in just a few days or weeks.

Unfortunately, that is not the whole truth. Now, put it in the context of months and years it's another story. It can be done, but it is not as easy as many people make it out to be.

There is work involved and those people have put in a lot of work to make that happen. First you have to learn some new skills, then understand how they work, then put them into practice. My friend Chris Farrell, a very successful internet marketer, calls it EUI - Education, Understanding and Implementation.

When starting an online business a website is critical to your success. I know many say you really don't need one, but if you're serious about making money, let me tell you the truth. You DO need a website.

People expect you to have your own website, for both online and offline businesses. If you don't then they don't take your business seriously. You need a website so

that they can find you, what you have to offer and so that they'll trust you and your offers.

Before you can begin learning the skills you need to build your website you will need a few things. So what do you need to get started?

1. Domain Name - what is your business going to be called,do some research and get a great domain name.
2. Hosting Company - i know you can get one for free.
3. HTML Editor - these you may download for free.
4. Image Resizer: is also free.
5. FTP Client: for uploading your website to your hosting company, you can also get this for free.
6. HTML Templates: these will help you build your website faster and help you make it look professional, do a search,there are hundreds out there for free for you to download and use.
7. Images: do a search for images, you'll find many free ones also some paid ones they will make your website look professional.
8. Autoresponder:thuis is where you have to be serious, with autoresponder, you will need to pay a small fee to get quality autoresponder, you may get some free ones, but maybe some not so good free ones.

Most of the above is free, do your research you can build your website get the tools you need all for around
$30.00 a month, and have it up and running That's not bad to have your business online and fully operational.
