So you found a great design and you have your color theme, and started to put your content together. Will your site be for fun, are you going to be selling services/products or provide information? Here are some things to consider while you are building your website;

• What is your major goal? Creating a website is fun and interesting but you need to decide what the purpose of your site is.
• Who do you want to reach?
• Are they male or female?
• What is their age?
• Where is their location?
• What are their interests?
• What type of site? Content sites don’t involve much time or money however; they do have a great deal of competition. Which means you will have to generate traffic advertising. E-commerce sites are just like a brick and mortar storefront were you have to deal with sales tax, shipping and requires more money and time in order to maintain them.

Having the above information will make it easier for you to target the appropriate traffic for your website.

Need To Be Focused.

While a content rich site is encouraged, you can easily get carried away with adding content after content. Make sure you stay focused and provide something of value and they will come.

If your site is about selling products, which products are likely to make you the most profit? Don’t provide your visitors too many options and don’t spread yourself too thin.

It is very important that you do your keyword research. You will need to determine what people are typing into the search engines to find what you are offering.

Take advantage of the tools that can help you to choose the best keywords that are more precise based on the number of searches they have generated. You don’t just want traffic you want traffic that would actually be interested in what you have to offer.

Choosing a Website

The most common mistake made is building your own website free. Most of the free websites will let you build for free however, they are never really your own and what would happen if they shut down. You spent all you valuable time in creating your site and then all would be lost and you would have to start all over.

A better plan is to build your own site and have website hosting building included. It costs a little bit per month, but it’s yours and you can monetize it however you want. You will have the peace of mind knowing that you site will be there as long as you want it to.

Website Hosting

If you are looking to setup an inexpensive website there are plenty of places that can start as low as $10 a month but will you have the support you need? Your decision should be based on your business needs and what you can afford to start.

It is very important to have customer service 24/7. It’s not good business when your site goes down. Your visitors will not want to wait and will head off and by from your competitors. Therefore, you will want to know if customer service will be available to fix the issue quickly.

Advertising Your Site

You need to consider the ways you are going to promote your site and learn how to get targeted traffic to your site and convert that traffic into paying customers.

• Must submit to the main three search engines. Ignore those e-mails that say will submit your site to 3,000 search engines. Main three are: Yahoo,Google, and Bing.
• Tell your friends.
• Use social media sites; Facebook, Twitter etc.

Every day tons of people start a website in hopes of making extra income online but fail to put in the time and effort. It’s not all that complicated as you may think. Begin with the simple things and work your way up to become proficient and you will earn revenue online.
