How To Start A Website, Starting Out Pt 3.
Contd.
…. I first started out trying to create a website income.
As I went through this process I found that there are many little additions you can use for your site.
If I take a Plug-in as an example and I wanted something to produce my Site-Map which was friendly to the Google bot, I was presented with about 20 different versions of the same thing but which one should I choose?
Then If I wanted to cover all the things about setting up my Website, I would have literally ended up with hundreds of options. My brain would be going into overdrive trying to sort out which would have been the best for me and my site.
The answer is to Keep It Simple (kiss), I didn’t have to make things difficult or complicated for myself to get to page ONE of Google or Yahoo etc. (this is something that you can easily do yourself, see earlier posts).
Over time and with a lot of tweaking I can say that my Website now, has what I consider to be the best plug-ins for my site.
The road I took to make my Website a going concern is a long one, and by using this method I learned most things about Website development that are essential for a good Website to flourish.
But I did find there is an easier way to do all this, however I only found this out after I had spent a few months creating my Website.
There are of course many people who want Websites of their own but are not interested in the set up and maintenance, this presents some problems that you should be made aware of.
The main one being, that if you do not keep your Website up to-date then you will lose page rank and therefore find yourself slipping down in the Indexes.
This of course doesn’t matter if you only want a personal Website, but is very important if you wish to attract visitors to your site.
If your Website is only for personal use that you want to share with family and friends, then having a ready made Website can be the way to go, but make sure you look around as this can get very expensive, also worth noting here is that it can be very enjoyable creating your own Website, you will get a lot of personal satisfaction for a job well done.
I found the whole learning curve a great deal of fun, I was lucky enough to have time to learn and then implement the things I learn onto my Website. A word of warning here for anyone looking to earn money from their Website. It takes time.
What I did to set up my Website entailed a lot of trial and error and a few months of hard, but enjoyable work.
Then as I have said before, I found this Website that could have saved me a lot of work, saved me a lot of time and shown me what to do. I only found it after I had finished publishing my first Website, way to go mark!!
If you are thinking of having a Website to either earn money or you just want a personal Website, then have a look at the Website below. I set up a fully functioning Website within 2 hours with what I learned here and its fun to do, more time was needed to make the site search engine friendly etc.
Yes, you will have to learn new things and Yes if you want to earn money you will have to spend a bit (not a lot) to get your Website up and advertised, but there is a way to do all this without taking the time it took me for my first Website, the link is below, go have a look, (it’s free to get the ‘Build Your Own Website’ and the ‘Internet Magazine’ that’s full of the latest information), and then decide if its for you.
