3 Steps On How To Start A Website

Start A Home Business Blog Website

All companies should take advantage of the networking available on the internet, direct sales professionals included. I have received many inquiries lately on how to start an online presence, blog or website. When I started my home business, I did not even own a computer and did not use one at work much either.

Today, I can build a website and am darn close to being a search engine optimization expert. It is a process, and like any other process, the more you work at it, the more you learn. At first it was very slow. If I had I known then what I know today, my business would have skyrocketed. The ongoing changes and advancements in technology have created so many exciting opportunities for direct sellers and party plan professionals. The internet allows you to branch out and no longer limits your business to friends, family and neighbors. Even if you are a total computer/web novice like I was in the beginning, just take small steps one-day-at-a-time and before you know it, you will be writing code!

Start A Free WordPress Website

You can start a free WordPress website or you can purchase a paid hosting service. If you are unsure if you will continue, then start with the free service and if you decide it is for you we can always move it. WordPress is the best blogging software, so start with WordPress for sure!

1. Set Up A Personal Website: It is easy to start your own website. Your company probably has an affiliate site in your name. You can still set up your own. When you create an online presence by having a website highlighting your “theme” or services, it will enhance your personal affiliate site as well. One way to get started on a website for free is at WordPress. It is a very user-friendly, blogging format that anyone can use. (really, anyone!) My blogs are WordPress. The free version is a good place to start. You can upgrade later. Blogging is a good way to develop traffic to your site and become a presence online and there are hundreds of free theme templates to choose from. Literally, in an evening you could have your site up and running.
2. Get Your Own Domain: The WordPress URL will be something nutty, like www.Alice.wordpress.com/ That domain name will be difficult to say and to type so buy a domain name that is unique to you. Something like: AliceIsCool.com It is only about $15 year and you can then forward it into your free WordPress blog. Later when you are ready to host a site, you already have the traffic and unique name. GoDaddy is the cheapest domain service.
3. Blog: On a regular basis, post articles on your blog on your topic. If you sell food storage containers, your blog focus may be on organizing your kitchen, on food, or any/or all other related topics. If you sell cosmetics, the focus of your blog is to develop a credible online presence as an expert who is there to answer any makeup question that is ever typed into Google. You should put up articles consistently, but not a lot at once. Like maybe one or two a week forever. After you have a good archive, you can cut back a bit.
