If you want a website that is going to last for a long time and make you a lot of money then I would suggest that you register your own website with a web hosting company. This is a good way of creating a website. The cheapest way, however is to register with an online free webhosting company. I really recommend that you do not do this. I have had many bad experiences back in the early days when I too was desperate to create a website! I promise you that you will find a free website creation company will not be your way forward, you will find that the free website creation tools do not create websites which are detected by search engines such as google. Without search engine recognition you will find it very difficult to receive any free traffic. No traffic= no sales or interest!

The main costs that you will get from owning a website are: A monthly fee from your chosen web hosting company A yearly fee from your domain registrar (the company that you buy your chosen domain name from).

Often as part of the web hosting deal you will receive an email address and other site building features.

There are many different ways of actually getting the traffic to your website. As with most things the best place to start is the beginning. Start by submitting your website to the main search engines websites. Such as Google, Yahoo and MSN. You will however find that word of mouth is by far the best way to advertise your website. It is the most effective, and it is FREE! Remember, word of mouth makes your website more credible. In order to get traffic through word of mouth you will need to have a website which is useful and informative. Often people who suddenly decide that they want to make money from the internet create a website and forget that in order to be successful they actually need lots of content. Do not make that mistake! Most web experts will tell you that in order to traffic to your website you need atleast 30 pages of quality pages. Oh, and also, keep on building.

FAQS Pay Per Click Search Engine Advertising
This is a useful but costly way to advertise your website on the internet. There are many different pay per click advertising click advertising companies on the internet such as Google Adwords. I am a member of Google Adwords. I find that their campaigns are effective. They are however very expensive. If you are trying to sell a product which is worth a lot of money per sale in a highly competitive market then Google Adsense may be the answer for you. If however, you build a good quality website then you will find that you automatically, after time and submitting your site to search engines, receive targeted traffic. Pay per click advertising is basically when you choose keywords for which you want your website to appear. If other people have chosen the same keywords as you, (if you are in a highly competitive market) then you will put in a bid for the keywords against your competitors.
FAQS Blogging Create an online blog, the search engines love it!
It is possible to create an online blog for free! The blog will allow visitors to your website to intereact without yourself and each other! It is therefore a very good idea to create your own online blog. Also, why not search the internet for existing web blogs. Post comments, oh, and drop in a link to your website. Search engines will find this link to your website and add it to your page rank score. Sneaky eh? Click here to learn more about blogging on the internet and how to insert a good link to your website! Are those SEO companies which I have seen advertised on the internet actually worth paying money for? No, no, nooooo! Do not. They do what you should and CAN easily do yourself! Except they charge you a lot of money for it. All these companies do is use some automatic submission software to submit your website to many different search engines, this service doesn’t sound to bad however when you consider that many search engines actually reject entries from such services the idea begins to sound less effective. The best thing that you can do is submit your website to search engines manually. It doesn’t take too long and it is time well spent. No one said that it would be fast to create a trafficked website!
FAQS Should I take part in banner exchanges?
No. There really is not much point anymore, by far the most effective way to get traffic to your website is to participate in exchanges with other websites which are similar to your own. Remember relevant links from other websites are like gold! Search engines love them and will link your website higher as a result. Banner exchanges are less effective, you are not likely to get many people clicking on your banner even if you choose a relavent website. Why not just focus your attention on investigating into and participating in link exchanges. The Value Exchange program by SiteSell.com is an effective site.
FAQS How can I sell products from my website?
In order to be successful in selling products from your website you will need to first establish a good amount of traffic. If you fail to establish a good amount of free traffic by following the methods that we have explained then you could use a pay per click campaign such as Google Adwords which I have explained above. Many people sell products using an online mail form and Paypal. Paypal, if you have not already heard of it is a great online merchants tool. It allows the processing of transactions between people on the internet. Another popular way of selling products on the internet is through ebay. Many web entrepreneurs use their website simply to promote their online ebay store. This can be a very effective method of increasing sales through ebay

FAQS I don’t have a product can I still make money online?
Yes, without doubt. Just look at this website for example. I do not sell any of my own products or services. I simply am a member of Google Adsense, I display adverts on my website. I also earn commission through business who sell their products and services through my website. In order to be successful without selling your own product or service the key is content. Write yourself some good original content, submit your site to the search engine’s indexes and you will find that in time traffic automatically comes your way. I am a strong believer that I have discovered the best way to make money online. It involves no paper work or dealing with customers. The merchant companies hand all of that and all I have to do is wait for my monthly cheques. (Oh yeah, and regulary spend time updating my site!).
