Step 1: Register a Domain, Get Website Hosting, and a Script!

First off, register your domain name at your favorite domain registrar (Your Domain Registration Company Here) try to find a domain name with your niche and the keyword “consulting” or “consultant” in the domain name. When choosing a niche, it’s important to make your keyword fairly specific, for example, if you’re a SEO (Search Engine Optimization) consultant, your keyword should be directly related to your topic like SEO, SEM, or eve Search Engine Specialist. Next, gets website hosting, I recommend using HostMonster.com, and they have great service, fast servers, and almost 100% uptime! Finally, last but not least, get a reliable script to run your website off of! I suggest using any sort of content management script like Mambo, Joomla, or even a blog script like WordPress can be morphed into a professional looking consulting website.

Step 2: Make Your Website Look Professional

In this paragraph I will be going over some tips and tricks on how to make your new consulting website look fantastic! First off, one of the most powerful marketing tools that will push plain old visitors to clients is having positive customer reviews on your website. So in knowing that, ask some of your customers to give you reviews on how well they think your service helped them, and then put together a portfolio on the best and most positive reviews and put them somewhere easily noticed on your website! This will really help your conversion rate as well as it will help your website look very professional!

Next tip is to provide some articles and content on you line of work, go to an article directory and find at least three articles on how your service helps out your industry or about how effective the right consulting can be! This will give your visitors something to ponder about while they are considering signing up for your services or not.

Finally, find a good template for your website. I purposely put this tip last because I think it should be done last, because it is sometimes the most difficult and time consuming step. If you use WordPress, go on the WordPress website and look for very professional and good looking themes, for other content management systems you may have to pay for your theme, but search on Google and try to find a good layout for your website. Here are a few quick tips to remember when you are searching:

1. Don’t use really flashy and distracting designs, this will annoy your visitors

2. Don’t use really bright neon colors, again it will annoy your visitors

3. Find something relating to your industry, if you are a money management consultant, find a theme around money

4. Simple is almost always better

Now that you have a fantastic and very smooth website you will need to promote it! So let’s move onto step three.

Step 3: Promote Your Website

Promoting your website is going to be bout Search Engine Optimization (SEO), ironically you may have to outsource this project to a trusted SEO firm. However, I will show you how you can do it yourself! SEO’ing your website is going to be about two things:

1. On-page SEO

2. Off-page SEO

On-page SEO is about setting up Meta tags, title tags, description tags, unique content, and keyword density. So write a few unique articles and I recommend signing up for SEOmoz.com, they will have everything you ever cared to know about SEO’ing your website and more! Yes it is expensive, but highly worth it!

Secondly, off-page SEO is about link building. Getting as many as possible quality back links is your primary goal. This includes article submission, directory submission, blog commenting, and forum posting. Again signing up for SEOmoz.com is your best bet on learning the best possible way to do this.

If you do not have the money to sign up for SEOmoz.com, I understand. There are plenty of resources out there that can help you for free! Just look up each term I stated above on Google like directory submission, on-page SEO, and all the others! After you complete the three steps, you will have a fully functional, fully fantastic, and totally professional consulting website and you are ready to bring in the massive amounts of clients who will be begging to pay you for your brilliant consulting ideals.

How To websites are fantastic websites that, well obviously, tell people how to accomplish a certain task, for example, you are currently reading an article on a website that tells people how to start a successful website business and earn an income online! These websites can be a great source of income because, let’s face it, nobody knows how to do everything, and where are they going to turn to find out how to do something? Quite possibly, your website! So let’s get started:

Step 1: Register Your Domain, Get Website Hosting, and a Script

Before choosing just any name, make sure you know what niche you want to go with, and by that I mean what’s your websites central theme going to be? For example, this how to website is on how to make money on the internet! So, after you figure out your niche, find a domain from your favorite domain registrar (Your Domain Registrar Company Here), choose a domain with a keyword from your niche! Next, find good website hosting, I strongly recommend using HostMonster.com! They have great support, fast servers, and cPanel! Finally, you will want to get a script! I recommend using a blog script like WordPress, this is because it’s free, it’s very versatile, and very easy to SEO! To SEO it properly, just install all in one SEO pack!

Step 2: Get Some Content!

A lot of people don’t like to write, if this is the case, I recommend hiring content writers. Now here is the thing, you can pay people as much as you want, but I recommend staying around $10 per 500 word article. This price is pretty fair, but it won’t get you the highest possible quality articles, this is why I recommend editing the articles to get out all the mistakes. But hey, it’s a lot easier than writing some yourself! However, there is a downside, I recommend posting one article a day for at least three months, why? This will get Google and the other search engines very interested in your website, constantly updating websites is what Google loves!

Step 3: Promote Your Website!

This is a simple three steps: First, submit all of your articles to a few article directories, here is a list of 200+ article directories. I recommend submitting to all of the page rank 6 directories through page rank 4. That’s not too many directories and it will get a great start on some good traffic! Next, submit to regular directories like DMOZ.org or BOTW.org. Finally, I recommend posting a few of your articles on webmaster forums, this is a great way to get some educated traffic to your website!

Step 4: Make Money with Your Website!

This step, I recommend doing after you get you’re promoting done and your Alexa.com rank is under two million. Why? So you can get accepted into Text-Link-Ads.com! This website is very, very good and very hard to get into. You can also try using other ad networks like Google Adsense and even Tribal Fusion!

And that is your four step process to winning another successful website! Thank you so much for reading, and I hope you stick around to read some more fantastic articles!

Making a blog is one of the more common website types; it can be very personal and very impersonal, making blogs very versatile. However, one thing is very clear; blogs can still be extremely profitable, with moderate amounts of work. Blogs can take anywhere from three months to three years to get a great profit going. Let me show you how!

Step 1: Get a Domain, Script, and Website Hosting.

I have decided to combine these three, technically four steps (script installing would be step 4), but in order to save time I have combined them. So, down to business, get a domain, but first choose a topic for your blog, for example, InternetIncomeTeacher.com is a blog that teaches people how to make money online, you can also do a blog about your personal life, your hobbies, or another topic such as search engine optimization! After you have chosen your topic, choose a domain name you like, from a registrar you like (such as MadDogDomains.com), make sure to choose a domain with a few keywords about your blog topic. Next, buy or download a script you like. I highly recommend WordPress, this script is fantastic for blogs and it is very search engine friendly with a few add-ons. For InternetIncomeTeacher.com we use a couple add-ons, such as the All-In-One SEO pack, and the XML sitemap-generator. This makes our website very search engine friendly and very easy for Google to index! Here are some templates to customize your new blog with, and here is the plugins directory. Now, you will need great website hosting, and as I have always suggested, use hostmonster.com. Yes they make you pay for a year in advance, but trust me, it is worth it! You don’t want your website being taken offline because your billing information was denied by a hosting company that does month to month billing. Lastly, script installation, and as always I offer a service to all my readers, $5 is full script installation! Email me at gschneider@internetincometeacher.com for an installation request!

Step 2: Write Content to Your Heart’s Desire!

Some people don’t like to write, I am one of those people. But when you find a topic you love to talk about, well, talk about it! Only to a sheet of paper, seriously! I find that writing your ideas down on paper and acting like you’re talking to someone next to you will really help you expand on that specific article and make it interesting to your readers. When I write these articles I am excited to write, and I normally hate writing! So give it a try! And also email me and tell me what helps you write!

Step 3: Promote Your Blog!

Most people have a difficult time with this step, because it is the hardest and most time consuming. However, promoting your website doesn’t really have to be all that hard and time consuming. Most bloggers only promote their websites through two sources: webmaster forums, and article directories.

First, webmaster forums, if you are already active in a webmaster forum, for example I am active in the webmaster forum DigitalPoint, I simply add a catchy title and URL to my blog on my signature and go about posting normally, if you make an average of one post a day on a webmaster forum, that can lead hundreds of interested and targeted readers to your blog every few days! Imagine now if you post actively, like 10 posts a day! That could mean thousands of visitors every month! Another great way is to actually post an article or two of yours in these webmaster forums, this will help increase exposure to your website as well as get readers interested in you and your content faster, because more people will read it, and if they like it and you put a URL at the bottom with a title that says something to the effect of “for more great articles, click here!” They will hopefully subscribe to your websites RSS feed, or bookmark your website!

Next, article directories, this is the best place for bloggers to get their articles read and their blogs promoted. Millions of people use article directories every month in search of something to read or learn about, and if your content just happens to be what they are looking for, then you might have yourself another subscriber to your blog! I have heard several bloggers tell me that the only article directory that they use is ezinearticles.com; this is contrary to what I will tell you. I will tell you that while ezinearticles.com is a fantastic article directory, arguably one of the best; it is not the only place you should submit your articles to. I have provided a link to a list of over 200 article directories, at the top of this paragraph, and I will suggest that you submit your articles to as many of those as you have time for. The more you submit to, the faster your blog will climb to the top!

Step 4: How To Make Money Off Your Hard Work $$$!

The final step, how to make money off your hard work. This has been a controversial step between me and a few of my fellow blogging buddies, some say that it is better to not have any ads on your website to start out, they say that the ads will kill your reader base and will drive more readers away. While I say that if you don’t use too many annoying pop-ups or ads that have sound files, you will be fine. I highly recommend using Google Adsense; they have high quality ads that will not get in your way, not to mention that they pay very well. However, don’t blow off what they say just because I tell you to ignore them. Too much of any kind of ad will be annoying. I recommend extreme moderation for your first few months, no more than two ads, one on bottom of every article (428×60), and maybe one skyscraper on the side (120×600 pixels).

When you get big… I, as well as most bloggers, will recommend that you sell your own ads. This is the most profitable part of blogging. While your income from Google will be nice, I recommend investing in an ad banner manager script so that you can sell ads yourself. I can’t give any good recommendations because I haven’t found a good ad managing script. I just do it the old fashion way. Using a combination of Microsoft Office: Excel and a calendar with alerts, customer buys a monthly ad, I note it on Excel and put it on a calendar and a month from the date the ad goes up, the ad will come down, this is simple and effective and requires little work; and one week till the ad expires I send an email telling the advertiser to renew or else the ad comes down.

And that’s how you start a successful blog, a bit of elbow grease and due diligence and you will be off to a fantastic start. I used to be a subscriber of a blog that made over $20,000 every month, and this article is a tribute to that blog.

Thank you very much! And I hope you read some of my other articles on various types of websites!

Sincerely Your
