6 Questions Asked by First Time Website Owners

 


There's always a first time. Even when buying web hosting to setup your website. Not everyone is tech savvy, but we all like to satisfy our curiosity about the new toy we are going to buy. If you were born before the 80's you are most likely to ask questions which will make your web host chuckle at your innocence. This article lists some questions which a web host often has to answer when dealing with a new client who has never bought a hosting account. All these are intelligent questions which may appear silly to some.

1. Will I be able to use Linux Hosting if I have a Windows computer at home?

This is a very common question which we get to hear from people born before the 80's. Those who are Microsoft Windows fans are often skeptical about using Linux Hosting for their website, because they relate the incompatibilities of Linux with the Windows OS. However, the only major difference in operations is that Linux cannot run ASP which Windows hosting can do. Besides this Linux servers are more stable and less prone to damage or security risks.

2. Will my email be secret on my web hosting server?

Customers are always worried about privacy and security of their data. As we always like to answer this question with- All web hosts have the ability to see anything on their server. Whether it is Amazon, Google, Yahoo or anyone else. The only differentiating factor is which one is a lesser evil as far as you are concerned and whom you trust the most. You may also consider who is most accountable to you and whose processes are most transparent. Besides this, the information overflow on the server keeps your data as secure as a needle in a haystack.

3. Can I install my own pirated version of Windows in my hosting account?

We don't always feel like answering this one, because the answer is pretty obvious. if you still haven't got it, the answer is No. You cannot install your own version of any software on shared hosting. neither can you install your own operating system on a VPS and you can most definitely not install a pirated version of Windows even if you have a dedicated server. No host will endorse it and in some cases may take action against you.

4. Do I need to provide my passport copy when booking a web hosting account?

You don't need to provide any identification proof when purchasing an account. it is assumed that when you pay by PayPal or Credit Card, you are a genuine party and your bank has done the necessary verification before issuing a Payment facility to you.

5. Can I turn off my website in the night?

The whole point of buying hosting space from a third party vendor is so that you can keep your website live 24 x 7 and without having to keep your home computer on throughout. While you can turn off your website or block access to it every night, it would be better not having those facilities or not having a website at all. Some banks and utility services suspend their services in the night, to accommodate maintenance activities, however, if it is done on a daily basis, it may be frustrating for your users who are expecting a 24 hour service.

6. Can I automatically find out the contact details of the persons visiting my website?

If you want the details from your visitors, why not ask for them directly. You can get a lot of statistics on visitors and their visit behavior, but if you are expecting to know how your visitor looks and where he lives, you maybe a bit disappointed. The closest you can get to knowing more about your visitor is his IP address. Based on the IP Address you can identify the area where he lives. If you want more details, you would need to ask for them or surreptitiously gather that information.

How To Start Internet Business The Easy Way




 The most straightforward way to start an online business is to sell products or services that have already been created and have resources and materials ready for you to use. Every time you sell the product the product owner will pay you a commission. This business model, known as affiliate marketing, is how many successful internet entrepreneurs started their own online home business. So how does it work?


Starting An Online Business The Easy Way.

All good affiliate programs have a wide range of resources to help you start an online business and sell products online. This can include banner advertisements, suggested keywords, a report to give away for free, and pre-written articles, blog posts and email messages.

Your primary task is to get prospective customers to click on your affiliate link that will take them to the product sales page or, ideally, to a squeeze page where you offer them a free report (provided by the product owner) on the subject of your product in return for their name and email address. When you have their email address you'll be able to market to them after the initial sale. If you only direct traffic to the sales page and the prospect does not buy anything you have lost all contact with that customer.

To get traffic to your squeeze page you can use strategies such as pay per click advertising, written content on article directories, classified advertisements, banner adverts, blog posts and video marketing.

How To Do Online Business.

When you start an online business, very few people will buy from you the first time that they see your message, so you need to create a sales funnel. A sales funnel is the process that starts from the time when your potential customer clicks on your link to the time when they actually buy.

Your sales funnel starts with you driving traffic to your squeeze page using one of the strategies mentioned above. Your potential customer lands on your squeeze page and enters their email address on the page list to get the free report, that was provided by the product owner. They receive the free report, followed by a sequence of emails about the product, again written for you by the product owner. These emails will all include a link to the product sales page. Once the prospective customer has read all the benefits they will be more likely click on the link in your email and buy the product from you.

That's why the number one rule when you start an online business is to build a list of potential customers. It means that you can send follow-up emails to your potential customers about your products and services at anytime, for free. To do this you will need an autorepsonder. An autoresponder can obtain, manage and organize your email list of customers, something that is almost impossible to do manually with an online home business.

8 Common SEO Mistakes You Should Avoid

 

Getting your website found by the search engines requires basic optimization or SEO for short.  When your site is properly optimized you will see substantial improvement in traffic to your site and ultimately more sales.


8 common, typical mistakes to avoid in properly optimizing your website are discussed below.

1 -  Using too many images for headings and menus.  Using text for headings and menus helps search engines more easily discover whatever they are looking for.  Although images may make your site look good, keep in mind that search engines cannot read images.  Because of the inability of the search engines to read  your images, having too many images has a zero effect on improved rankings.

2 - Backlink Spamming.  Create backlinks from relevant and authentic sites such as article directories.  Avoid getting backlinks from link farms, hidden links, certain link wheels, etc.  These can have a huge negative effect on your site and may even cause your website to be delisted by Google and the major search engines.  Using too much interlinking, especially from non-relevant sites, is considered backlink spamming.

3 - Bad Selection of Keywords.  When you select keywords make sure that you do not select highly unique or highly popular keywords.  If you use unique keywords (keep keywords relevant) you may find yourself at the top of the rankings but probably not any relevant customers.  If you use highly popular keywords you will face stiff competition from sites that are already at the top of the rankings.  For example, as of this writing, I did a google search for the keyword phrase 'make money online'.  A popular keyword phrase.  That search produced 556,000,000 results in about 0.20 seconds.  Stiff competition wouldn't you say.

4 - Ignoring Title Tags.  Using keywords in the title tags will definitely improve your site's SEO.  Search engines can find relevant keywords in the very beginning, which make it easier and faster.

5 - Failing to provide sitemap.  Often when you make JavaScript menus and do not provide sitemaps your site fails to make an impact on the search engines.  Search engines cannot read JavaScript menus.  Use sitemaps to enable crawling and indexing.

6 - Not providing HTML version.  If you have designed a website only in Flash then it becomes difficult for the viewers with a slower connection to download it.  Similarly, it becomes even more difficult for the search engine spiders to crawl.  Search engines ignore such sites.  Make sure you provide a HTML version for your website.

7 - Too much focus on MetaTags.  Many experts feel that meta tags are fast becoming obsolete, so avoid putting too much focus on them.

8 - Avoid tiny and fancy fonts.  Using FrontPage is not advisable.  There is a possibility that the output may be poorly crafted and may not even be compatible with all browsers.  Though a small spelling mistake may create attention and get visitors, this undermines the quality of your website.  Your links should never contain any spelling or  grammatical errors.

You should regularly update your site and keep the content fresh.  After all, free website visitors is an online marketers dream.  Proper SEO is vital.

5 Ways To Determine If Your Online Home Business Is Any Good

 



How do you know if your online home business is any good? An online business is a great way to make a supplementary income but if you're doing it wrong it will cost you more than you make. The internet provides many opportunities for entrepreneurs, but if you want to generate an online income from home, it does involve more than putting a website up onto the internet, having a few random products for sale and hoping that somebody will buy them.

1. You're Generating Traffic.

You can't make an online income from home if you don't have any traffic coming to your website. Your online traffic is comprised of the people who visit your website. If no one goes to your website, no one will buy from you and you won't be able to earn online an income from home. To generate traffic you can use free traffic or paid traffic strategies.

2. Are You Building A List?

This is the list of email addresses of potential and actual customers who have given you their permission to send them emails about your products and services. Your list is built as result of the traffic that you send to your lead capture pages that may be connected to or separate from your website.

3. You're Offering Something Of Value For Free.

When someone goes to your website, to get their email address you have to provide them something of value in return. This could be a free report, a video tutorial or a newsletter. Don't forget that what you give away for free is an indicator of the value offered by your online business. If you give away something that is useless, it will reflect back on what prospective customers think about your business overall.

4. You're Selling The Right Products To The Right People.

There is an old but true saying that says he who tries to sell to everyone, sells to no-one. You have to clearly know who your target customer is and what products or services you can provide that solve a problem for them or make their lives easier.

5. Are You Willing To Learn?

It is surprising how many people dive in head first to the online business world without any direction or idea if they are doing anything right. To succeed online, you need to learn from those who have gone before you and who can help you to avoid the pitfalls so that you make money online and not lose money online.

5 Things That Nobody Told You About Starting An Internet Business

 



Although many entrepreneurs enjoy success with their online business there are also a number who fail. One of the main reasons why people fail online is that they jump in head first thinking that it is an quick way to get rich. Here are 5 factors about setting up an internet business that you may not know.


1. You Need To Work Hard.

Starting an online business and turning it into a success does require time, effort and resources. It is a real business and if you treat it like a hobby, it will become a very costly and frustrating one. Be prepared to work hard to achieve your goals. It involves a lot more than pushing a couple of buttons on your laptop or computer for a few minutes each day.

2. It Takes Time To Get Results.

People who want to make loads of money as quickly as possible are normally the ones who get discouraged and give up when things don't go their way. Developing a solid online reputation, getting your website noticed by the search engine and building a customer base generally takes a lot longer than people expect.

3. Some Folks Will Tell You You're Wasting Your Time.

You will come across people who are cynical about setting up an internet business. They choose to ignore the fact that the internet is a flourishing business environment and that it is possible to generate a legitimate income online. Don't let less people undermine your efforts. Become a member of an online community of similar entrepreneurs for your business advice and support.

4. You'll Most Likely Have Information Overload At Some Point.

When starting an online business there can seem to be a never ending set of tasks to do. Once your website is set up, you have to find the right products and the right customers to buy them. There is a whole range of free and paid marketing strategies that you can use and sometimes it can become mind-boggling and you can have a total information overload. Take one step at a time, become proficient at one thing then move onto the next. You do not have to do everything at once.

5. Everything Will Not always Go To Plan.

You must never expect everything to be easy and recognize that sometimes things don't go according to plan on the first try. But don't look at these problems as failure. Look at them as a learning process. You now realize what went wrong so that you can avoid it happening again in the future. Every entrepreneur faces set backs at one stage or another with their online business and you have to be willing to accept these unexpected challenges as part of your ongoing business venture.

Here's some of the best MLM Advice I've ever received (from my mentors) in the industry.

 




1. The company you join. The sponsor you pick. The system you use. None of that really matters. You are the X factor. You can succeed or fail in ANY company.


2. This business is a numbers game, but it's also a game of skill and strategy. The better your skills and strategy the fewer people you need to approach.


3. WHEN you join a company is even more important than the company you join. Timing is everything. Ideally, you want to join a company BEFORE it becomes a household name. That is where the BIG money is made.


4. You'll probably have to recruit 100 people to find 1 serious person, and maybe more than that.


5. The real money comes from building DEPTH in your organization, not width. Width is for show, but depth is for dough. Learn how to taproot and drive each leg hundreds of levels deep. A leg is not solid or established until you have MINIMUM 5-10 leaders in it.


6. No two leaders build their business the exact same way. Smart leaders leverage their own natural talents and abilities to build the business in a way that works for them.


7. We are a business of attrition. 80 to 90 percent of your team will quit each year, regardless of what you do to help them. Even with those types of numbers, you can still build a big team and a big residual income.


8. Customers and part-timers come and go like the common cold, but we are really looking for leaders. Leaders find customers, recruit reps, create volume, and grow your check. They also require the least amount of help.


9. Success is not about selling a product or one person doing a lot. Network marketing is about getting a LOT of people to do a few simple things consistently, for a sustained period of time.


10. It takes MINIMUM three to five YEARS of intense focus in ONE company to build a six figure residual income (in most cases). Top earners do not promote multiple deals, nor do they chase shiny objects. They focus on one company exclusively.


11. Most top leaders have been with one company for 5-10 years. They've sponsored 100+ reps personally and they make most of their income from just 1-2 people.


12. All the time you spend with weak, non-committed people is time wasted. You would be better off spending that time to recruit new people. You won't hit the next rank with the same team. Keep recruiting. Never stop recruiting personally.


13. You get paid based upon the number of people you serve and how well you serve them. The person that "serves" the most, and does it the best, makes the most (and rightfully so).




14. This is a team sport. No one succeeds by themselves. Surround yourself with ambitious, talented people. Ideally, you want people more motivated and talented than you. Whatever you do, do not be JEALOUS or ENVIOUS of someone on your team who is more successful in the business than you. If anything, be their biggest cheerleader.


15. You cannot control what anyone else does, so don't worry about it. Focus on what you do. Focus on what you can control. Set the bar so high with your own personal example so even if your team does 10 percent of what you do, you'd be happy.


16. Third party tools are the secret. Remove yourself from the equation whenever possible. Talk less. Don't do your own presentations. Instead, share videos and audios. Leverage three way calls. Even if you are an expert at these things, your prospect isn't. Plus, your prospect thinks they will have to build the business the same way you do, so keep things simple.


17. Don't be short sighted. Many of your best people will take you YEARS to recruit. Keep a database of everyone you ever talk with and stay in touch often. The average person will need minimum 7 to 20 follow ups before they buy or join.


18. Success in our industry is about long-term focus, not short-term opportunism. No company or sponsor is perfect. Pick the company you want to have your problems with and plant your flag there.


19. Use the products. Find a few customers. Teach others to do the same. That's how you build a big business.


I look forward to hearing from you. Don't let this opportunity pass you by.

Are You Setting the Right Goals For Your Work From Home Business?

 



There is a lot more to an online home business that just a website and the hope that somebody may buy something from you. Your main objective might be to make money or allow yourself more time at home but if you don't know what you will do with that money or time you cannot put any mark on whether you are achieving any success. To make sure that your online home business achieves what you want it to achieve, take a moment to answer these 5 questions.

1. Do You Have Specific And Realistic Goals?

You have to make sure that your online home business goals are realistic and specific. You may want to make millions in a couple of months but that is not realistic. When you have set a realistic goal, you will need to work backwards to create a plan of action so that you can achieve that goal.

2. Have You Made A Plan That Will Work?

Once you create the schedule for yourself to reach each goal that you've set, you need to truly consider how representative it is of reality. Let's say your goal is to send an email 3 times a week to your subscriber base that are useful and valuable to them. But, if you haven't set aside the time needed to research, write and send the 3 emails you won't achieve your objective because there will always be something else to do.

3. Are You Willing To Learn From Failure?

Setting up and running a work from home business will have its ups and downs. If you are not willing to learn from the mistakes you make, you will be more inclined to give up. Learn from the failure and change the schedule to be more realistic and achievable.

4 .Do You Have Too Many Goals?

Just as setting too few goals for your online home business can be a problem, so can setting too many. If you set too many goals at once, you might get overwhelmed and achieve none. You can add more goals as time goes on. You don't need to do know how to do everything today.

5. Do Your Goals Include Everything?

If your goals just focus on your work from home business and nothing else it will effect other areas of your life. Don't forget why you started a home business in the first place. If it was to spend to more time at home with your family, don't ignore your family in the process of making your business a success. If you create a highly profitable online home business but your personal life suffers, then no matter how successful it is, you will not feel successful.

5 Features That Online Business Startup Should Have


 The online business world is competitive so your online business startup has to catch the interest of your potential customers. There isn't a secret formula that successful online business entrepreneurs use to build a sustainable business. They just stick to a simple set of rules. Here are the 5 rules that your online business startup needs to follow so that your prospective customers will be more willing to buy from it.


1. You Provide Something Of Value For Free.

The internet is the first place that people use to find information. And a lot of information is provided totally free. But just because it is free, it doesn't mean that it is useful. It is difficult for a new online business startup to establish itself as an authority in its marketplace. That it why it is important to provide your audience with information that is not only free, but is actually useful and beneficial. This standard will indicate the quality of products, services and information that you are selling.

2. You Always Provide Value.

The better the value you provide when starting your own online business, the more people will come to trust and like you and see you as an authority within your niche. Quality content on your website helps to establish you as an authority in your industry. You will also find that people will start to trust you more and will share your website content with others, which all helps towards your search engine rankings.

3. Your Business Has A Personality.

The internet is a competitive and sometimes impersonal business environment and this can be a challenge for an online business startup. Whilst you may not be meeting all of your customers face to face, you can add your personality to your website. The best websites on the internet all have an individual feel that make them stand out from their competition. People perceive these personalities subconsciously and either they like or dislike them. Think carefully about what will appeal to your target audience. For example, is your website friendly or serious, chatty or factual?

4. You're Not Always Trying to Sell Something.

When you start an online business the temptation is to sell as much as you can as quickly as you can. However, this style of business does not create long term results. You need to build trust and respect from your potential customers and they need to see you a genuine person rather than a hard sell sales-person. Share videos or posts you think may be useful, even if they are not yours and you will be seen as the 'go to' person for information and facts about your niche. As your prospects start to trust your opinions and like your messages, they will be more likely to buy from you.

5. You Sell The Right Products To The Right Audience.

There is a well known saying in business: "If you try to sell to everybody, you'll sell to nobody". This is so true when you start an online business. Due to the sheer scale of the internet, you need to be completely clear on who your target customer is. You need to understand their likes and dislikes, their problems and their fears so that you provide products and services that suit them. If you try and sell the latest product on the market to your customer base because it's a high margin item and it's vaguely connected to your business, your customers will think that they are in the wrong place and will find another business that caters more to their needs and wants.

How Do You Make Money Online Without A Product

 


If you have an entrepreneurial spirit and a determination to succeed it is possible to make money online. When conducting business on the internet, one of the unique advantages is that you don't actually need to have your own product to start making money. By using affiliate marketing program, you can choose from a wide variety of ready made products to sell online.


Making Money Online With Affiliate Marketing.

Let's look at an example of how to make money online with affiliate marketing. Let's say that you are interested in the health and fitness market and you decide that you want to start making money online by selling a weight loss program. This could be at the start of the new year when a lot of people are looking to shed a few pounds after Christmas.

Your first step is to go to an affiliate marketplace (like ClickBank or JVZoo) and search for possible weight loss products that you can sell. These marketplaces sell digital products, which means that as soon as a customer buys them, they can download them directly to their computer to read, watch or listen to.

Making Money Online The Easy Way.

You need to carefully choose a suitable weight loss product with an eye catching sales page and statistics that prove it converts well. Check also if the product has good customer and affiliate testimonials. Once you have made your choice, you get your unique affiliate link from the product owner (sometimes called a hop-link'). This is the website URL to the product sales page that tracks all your sales back to you.

Your job is now to get potential customers to click on your unique affiliate link where they will be taken to the product sales page. This could be done by inserting the link into a blog post you have written about weight loss, placing a banner ad or pay per click ad on relevant weight loss websites or sending an email containing the link to your customer database (if you don't have one, you need to start building one!).

When someone clicks on your link to the sales page and goes on to buy the product, you will get paid an affiliate commission. This is usually anything between 50 to 80% of the price of the product.

Affiliate sales offer an amazing opportunity for making money online for both new and experienced marketers. Just about anything you can think of is available to sell through an affiliate programs. There are thousands of ebooks and courses on hundreds of different subjects, there's internet services like autoresponders, keyword tools and hosting companies, software and membership websites.

The Benefits Of Starting With Ready-Made Money Making Websites

 


One thing that stops people from trying to make money online is

they do not know how to make a website. In reality this is not
something you even need to know how to do. There are many
benefits you can take advantage of by starting with a ready made
site of your own.

1. For starters let's talk about how powerful it is to use a
blog as a website. You can have a WordPress blog set up for you
for around $30. If you want more features and plug-ins added to
it you will have to pay a little bit more.

However the nice thing is when you are done you have a fully
functional website that you can add content to without building
web pages yourself. If you can type you can build web pages using
the WordPress blogging platform.

This is a tremendous relief for people who are trying to make
money, but don't want build their own website. It's also very
nice as you can customize your site in various ways in the
future.

HTML coding can be intimidating, but not to people who have a
WordPress blog. Plus there are so many features with a blog that
you really can impress your website visitors.

It's very easy to add graphics for example and make a dull
boring web page come to life. You can do the same thing by
pasting in video codes from You Tube to add videos to your site.

These are all things you can do after your ready made website is
set up for you.

2. Another thing to look at is joining a program that gives you
your own customized pre built website. There are programs on the
Internet that have been around now for several years offering
what I would call a business in a box.

The nice thing is you can have a customized website with your
own domain name set up for very little out-of-pocket expense.
This is important when you do programs such as network marketing
and affiliate marketing.

Many marketers will use the replicated website that comes with
the program they have joined. This is okay, but it's not the best
way to make money.

The problem primarily lies in the fact that everyone is using
the exact same website in these types of programs. By getting
your own customized website you can differentiate yourself from
your competitors and make yourself stand out more.

These are a few money making website tips as they pertain to the
benefits of starting out with your own ready-made site. This is
definitely the way to go if you do not want to mess with building
your own website.
