You Say I Can Make My Own Website - But How Can I Build My Own Website

I remember the first time I tried to make my own website. I was totally freaked out and thought I was going to mess it up and I would never recover.

If you are getting frustrated and asking yourself will I ever be able to make my own website then I have good news for you. I am going to tell you the steps to take to get things going.

You have to start off in the same place as everyone does and that is with getting a domain name. You know how your house has an address well your domain name is the address of your website.This is only my opinion but I prefer Namecheap for purchasing my domain names. You can do a private registration for free if you like.

Next on the agenda is getting your web hosting plan. There are many many places that you can purchase a hosting plan. Your hosting service will be where your website will reside. Be careful with the hosting company you choose because there are some companies that are not very good. You will want knowledgeable customer service that can answer or help with any problems you encounter.

Now comes the fun part, build your site. You can use free html editors to start with to save money or you can install wordpress via fantastico through your cpanel which is easier to use.

If you want the search engines to love your site then only use unique content. Taking shortcuts like copying content from other sources will get you no where.

The next step is to optimize your website. Most newbies make a website and never check their links to see if they go to the product they want to sell. You can't make money if your links don't work. Also check to see how your website looks in different browsers because your site can look different to your visitors than it does to you.

Once your site is built and everything is as should be then upload your site with an ftp program or in some cases hit the publish button. Once Google indexes your website then it is time to start driving traffic.

You can submit articles just like the one you are reading that provide a link to your new website. There you have it sounds easy doesn't it? Of course I realize that a new person to the internet marketing scene is probably freaking out and saying that does not sound easy.

Well I have great news for you. I have discovered a great website builder that takes all the pain away and makes great looking sites and it is easy to use. I have been where you are and I know the difficulty of being overloaded with information.

That is what is so good about this website builder. You type in a little bit of info and hit a button and you get a very attractive site that is optimized to get traffic. You can not believe the time and pain this will save you.
