One of the top questions on the net these days is how to set up a website easily and painless, and in reality, the hard sweating days of coded websites are no longer the burden of the ordinary Joe soaps.
Literally, nearly everybody has a site these days, whether for business or pleasure, it has become very simple indeed and you can either do it for free, or pay a small fee. But, if you own a business, or planning to own a business, in today's world you really need a website.
But where do you start?
Would you pay a web designer a lot of money when your budget is low?
I have no products and want to be an affiliate, would I still need a website?
Here are Three Solid Tips That Answer These Questions
1 Where To Start?
You want to start a site to make some cash but have little money. My advice here is use Hub-pages, Squidoo, Word-press blog or blogger. These are free easy platforms for starting out, easy to use and help you get into the mind frame of site building. The only bad point is you do not own the site or page you have created.
2 Ok, Let's Pay A Web-Designer!
No, lets not. Seriously, it is so easy to build a site these days, especially using any of the above. All you need to do is buy a domain name which is your name (business or pleasure) example: Johngreen.com or Dogwashing.org, it's yours once you buy it, and the cost is around $10 or less a year, pittance.
Join one of the many, yet top and safe Hosting companies around. Basically this is where you will build and keep your site, and the price is about $100 or less a year, again, much more affordable than paying up to $2000 to a web-designer.
Your simple mission then, is uploading word-press to your server, simply with the click of a button, and there you have it, a site, just needing some added content, very easily maintain and design and it is yours, very exciting. Of course there is a little bit more to it than that, but most Hosting companies as well as word-press have excellent tutorials and videos that can help and make it very easy.
3 I Just Want To Be An Affiliate, I Do Not Need A Website!
It is very important to own a website these days and I can not emphasize this enough, and as you can see, it is quite easy to set up. You can indeed make money online with out a site of course, but having your own site for a particular product you are selling gives you more control, power and better chances of making more money
It is easy to set up a web site period. Of course, a little hard work is required, but thankfully you are here reading this, which means you are at a computer and are able to use it so you should have the ability to take things a step further. Fear is a big factor in people turning away from the idea of owning there own sites, do not let fear win, build your first site, choose the platform you want to use, and do not forget to also enjoy yourself and make it fun.
