Create Your Own Web Site Part I

If you have your own web site, you have access to more than one thousand billion potential customers world wide. That is not to say that all of them will be interested in your product, but you cannot even begin to plumb this vast sea of people using the internet unless you have at least one internet marketing web site.

There are five steps to creating your own marketing web site. The first is to purchase a domain name that is relevant to your web site. Before you do this you must find what is known as a keyword, which is a word or phrase that describes the theme of your site. It should be chosen so that if somebody saw your keyword or phrase, they would understand what you web site was about. For example, the term ‘domains for sale’ describe exactly the purpose of a web site using these words as its keyword.

You should then check whether or not your selected keyword is available. Unfortunately, most of the obvious keywords will have been taken up, at least with the .com ending. You might be able to find one of the other endings but you might also have to find another domain name related to your website. You can easily find companies on the internet that sell and register domain names, and the average cost is about $9 upwards.

You then have to find a web host. That is a company that will host, or run, your website. The host provides you with the web space in which you can build your site and store all the files and software require to operate it. Depending on what facilities you are looking for, hosting can cost from around $5 to over $30 a month, and if you are completely new to internet marketing, it is worth your while going for something more expensive.

For around $25 monthly you can get web hosts that provide you with everything you need to run a site, including website design templates, html editors, email accounts, autoresponders and a checkout and payment system. If you intend to sell anything on your site you will need all of this and more. The cost would be very much higher than $25 a month if you were to acquire all of the software required separately, and the beauty of that kind of web host is that everything is already integrated together, all ready for you to begin.
