| Site Design Layout and hosting |
At this point you have decided what your business is and have a website name.
The next step in our process is to dive into website development.
Don't be afraid if you have no experience in that area. This won't be very difficult.
Always remember to keep your site simple. The simpler the better. To accomplish this, you should do what experienced marketers advertise, provide just enough information and no more than that. In fact, one top marketer has exclaimed, “I just sold over 100,000 of products on my site and I don’t even know how to build one.”
Learn from these marketers and employ similar strategies. You don’t have to be technically fancy to make money. You just have to know how to hire the right people to create a simple site. With your site, never get caught up in utilizing a multitude of fancy, snazzy technological advances like flash animations, voice recordings or video testimonials. Instead use a 4-5 interactive pages that resemble a sales letter format that clearly a product presentation, contact us, subscription to your newsletter, affiliate, and an about us page. Also includes product benefits with buy now button, p.s.’s and perhaps subscription information on how to sign up for your newsletter, if applicable. Keep your site design very simple and make sure that it appeals to both sophisticated and non-sophisticated users.
Now depending on your website building skill level, this assignment might be something you want to skip or this might be a 2-3 day project.
I want to introduce you to website building tools which will allow you on experimenting for free so you can understand simple concept and realize that putting simple website together is one or two hours of work once you know how to approach it.
In the past I used to recommend free website builders as a starting point and we had an arrangement with the company which offers free hosting for couple of pages. You can still try this solution here. As of now I'm not recomending this solution because over the years new free solid solutions have been developed , which allow you on creating of your free presence until you are feeling comfortable with upgrading to paid options.
I would like to recommend wordpress.com. Although wordpress.com started as a blogging platform, today there is no concept which couldn't be accomplished through wordpress solutions. Various plugins and widgets, (many free) can give you instant solutions which normally would require to have paid programming staff.
Today I just would like you to create a free account (if you don't have one yet) with wordpress.com. Simply click here and click Get Started button. Inside you will be able to create your pages and decide on layout and/or template of your site. Look around. There are multitudes of tutorials on wordpress and there are also videos on the site available for you to watch.
I will provide you with couple paid hosts which I strongly recommend later.
Next lesson...
