Create A Money Making Site In 30 Days

Before strating to create a website, you need to get a domain name and a webhost. If you have not a domain name and web host yet, get both.

I personnaly use Host Monster which provides me with a free domain name for life, several Terrabytes hosting Account, unlimited Gigs of site transfer, unlimited domains allowed, 100 MySql, drag and drop website builder, $50 free Google credits, $25 free Yahoo credits and much more for only $6.95/month (cheaper if you subscribe for one year at once).

The most popular domain name provider out there is:

http://www.godaddy.com.

If you plan to buy only one domain name but want to build several websites, prefer to chose a domain name that reflects what you do or what the subjects of your websites will be or chose your own name as domain name.

For instance, if you plan to create websites dedicated to pets, chose:

http://www.allaboutpets.com

or http://www.yourname.com

You will then create sub-domains or folders for each one of the websites you will add.

Example sub-domain: http://dog-care.allaboutpets.com

Example folder: http://www.allaboutpets.com/dog-care

There are many cheap web hosting options available on the Internet.

Once you have your domain name and your host, you are ready to start to create your site.

Select your niche market.

Think of anything you have as a hobby or interest to find your niche.

A niche market is a small part of a big market.

All you need to do is find a subject that you really know.

For instance, if your passion is home improvement and if you read tons of books and magazines dedicated to this subject, then you can chose this kind of niche to start building your website.

Once you will have selected your niche, join affiliate programs such as Clickbank, Pay Dot Com, Commission Junction, Amazon...

You will use these programs to monetize your new site.

1. The easiest way to create a website is by using a website builder software. If your host provides one, use it. A suitebuilder software guides you step-by-step through your site creation.

2. You can also use a simple HTML template (you can find free templates on the Internet on sites such as freecsstemplates.org) and work on it with Notepad (HTML editor) or NVU (WYSIWYG - What You See Is What You Get) editor.

Once you decided the tool you will use, then think about your site title as it will become the name of the file where you will upload all your pages.

For example, let's say that your first website is dedicated to dog-care and that the title of your site is "Dog Care" then the name of the folder or the subdomain where you will upload your site will be "dog-care". The folder must be called something related to your choice of niche.

Create your first web page and upload it in the main public_html directory of your hosting account. This page needs to be called "index.html" or "index.php" (depending if you want to create .html or .php pages).

Add the first content on your one web page: it is essential that your page contains some text before being able to go on the next step.

So, you will write an article of a minimum of 350 up to 400 words. This article must be related to your niche site.

Tip: write an introduction to your new site or a guided tour of the site; which will become your single page when you will add other articles to it.

If you have difficulties in writing by yourself, choose an article available in the article directories such as www.ezinearticles.com or www.goarticles.com, etc.

As many of you already know it, using Google AdSense is the best way to make money online.

Once you have joined Google Adsense and filled your account information, you will be ready to add Adsense codes on your first web page.

Tips to maximise your Adsense revenue:

Embed your Adsense codes IN your content area (for example, let it fload on the right or on the left of your text).

Preferabilly use 300x250 or 336x280 sizes.

Use colors that match with your site or simply use black ads (they must not look as a simple block of ads).

You may add up to three Adsense blocks on your page + 1 Adsense Themed Unit.

Check your page title and meta description in order to have relevant ads on your page.

Change your page title to reflect exactly your page's subject.

Check your Adsense account to Make sure your impressions count is greater than zero.

Create a links page on your one web page.

This step is important as you'll have to use this page later.

Today, we will talk about the creation of your new blog.

Choose a free blog like Blogger.com or install a WordPress blog on your server. Give your blog the name of your niche site or a name related to your niche site.

Once your blog is created, write an introduction of your niche site and its goal. Include a link to your one web page with its title.

If you create your blog on Blogger.com, go in "settings" and ensure you that "site feeds" is regulated on "full" and add your Adsense code in the "Article Footer" box. Once that is done, publish your blog.

Then go into your Yahoo mailbox - if you do not have one, create one - and click on "My Yahoo" ; select "content" and then "add rss feed" ; type in the RSS feed link of your blog and then on "add".

Your first blog post will then appear on your My Yahoo page and be spidered.

Once it is done, go to http://pingoat.com, re-type your blog name and link as explained above and then on "submit". Other sites will be informed about the update of your blog.

Repeat these operations each time you post on your blog.

Day Nine

Today you will write your first article ; this article will be related to the subject of your website. Write a minimum of 350 words.

If you have difficulties to write an article yourself, you can write the principal lines of your article and then make a search to find similar websites. Look for articles on the same subject than yours and pick up some ideas or sentences that you will rewrite with your own words and add to your own article.

If you do not like to write, choose an article from an article directory such as www.ezinearticles.com, www.goarticles.com or www.isnare.com.

Day Twelve

It takes only some minutes to select an article in an article directory.

But it is preferable to write your articles yourself: search engines love unique content.

Day Fifteen

Blog Posting...

Each time you upload a new article on your server, post a description of this article on your blog and a link to your new article.

Ping the posts in your "My Yahoo" and in Pingoat.

Write a new article.

Make a search on your favorite search engine and select a few articles directories and join them (ezinearticles.com, goarticles.com, isnare.com, etc.)

Submit the first article you wrote. Remember to include a link to your new niche site in the resource box.

Now that you wrote a few articles, you will create a sitemap.

A sitemap is essential for any website and indexes all your links pages.

You will thus create a new web page and add all the links of your sites on it (homepage, article 1, article 2, etc) ; add a link to your sitemap on each of your website pages.

Do not add Adsense codes on your sitemap as it does have no content.

Once it's done, go to: http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/ and create a ".xml" sitemap.

Upload the ".xml" sitemap on your computer and go to: https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/ (Google Webmaster Tools); register or login with your gmail identifier.

Add the URL of your site, upload the sitemap and follow Google's instructions in order to verify your site. Your site is now ready to be indexed by Google.

At this moment, your site contains a homepage, some articles, a links page and a sitemap. You already received a certain number of visitors thanks to the articles you submitted to the articles directories.

Write a description of your last article and ping this post in your "My Yahoo" and with Pingoat.

Submit the articles your wrote to the article directories in order to drive visitors to your site.

Now that you have created your sitemap you will focus on your website content.

Write two new articles.

Once the first article is written, upload it on your server, and write a blog post about it. Ping this post.

Repeat the steps for the second article.

Update your sitemap with the links to these articles.

Search Box

Add a search box on your site. Log into your Google Adsense account, select "search settings" and follow the instructions on how to create a search box.

Copy the code and paste it on each of your web pages.

I usually put large search box at the bottom of my pages and a small box on the top of the navigation menu.

If your visitors make a search on your site and click on the result, you will earn money :)

Site Counter

Go to www.statcounter.com and apply for an account. Configure a new counter and copy/paste its code at the bottom of each of your web pages. You may choose to create a visible or an invisible counter (I usually use an invisible counter). You will then be able to track the number of visitors your site receives, its keywords activity and some other interesting items.

Articles Submission

Once it is done, submit an article to the articles directories and another one in two days. That will drive new visitors to your website.

Remember day seven? Ok, so, it is time to use it and to add some partner links on your web pages.

Make a search through your favorite search engine for sites related to the subject of your website.

For example, if your website is weight loss related, search for weight loss, weight loss surgery, weight loss programs, etc. websites.

Select a few of them (5 up to 10 ; not more) and add their link or your links page. It is important to add their link on your site before asking they link to your site.

Some websites have a "link to us" or "links" page and you will follow their instructions to add your link on their page.

Some other websites do not have this kind of page and you will have to contact the webmaster requesting a link back to your site.

Write a short email saying something like "Hi, I have a website with a subject similar to yours - short description of your site - and added a link to your site - your links page URL - and would appreciate a link back to mine, etc."

Wait for two weeks and if you receive no reply, delete the link.

Many people are coming to your site now. This is the moment to make them come back over and over again.

This is the reason why you will add a mailing list.

Apply for an autoresponder. If you haven't one or do not know where to find one, Get Response offers a free professional auto-responder account; as well as Aweber offers a free 30 days trial for an autoresponder.

Then create your newsletter: write the articles yourself or buy PLR articles (Easy PLR) or join PLR Wholesaler.

The articles included in your newsletter must be related to your niche site.

Tip: Get more Adsense earnings by publishing your newsletter online as an extension of your website.

So, if your website link is: "http://dogs.allaboutpets.com" ; your newsletter address will be: "http://dogs.allaboutpets.com/newsletter/issuenumberX.html".

It is time to add keywords on your website.

The keyword tool generally used by webmasters is "Wordtracker". I personally use Adwords Keyword Generator and "Keyword Elite". In this example, we will use "http://www.goodkeywords.com" as it is a free tool. Download it and install it.

Let's continue with the Dogs terms.

So, type "dog" and then submit (always use the singular term in your keywords research).

The software returns a list of related terms ; the "count" column shows you how many times the keywords have been searched within the previous month. Scroll down the Good Keywords page to find keywords related to the subject of your site but with with less competition than for "dog". You are not ready to compete against 100,000,000 other websites ;-)

Let's assume that the keywords you will use are:

* dog care
* dog supplies
* dog training
* dog collar
* dog types

You will need to focus on writing new articles on these keywords.

In this lesson, we will talk through sending more visitors to your site and social bookmarking.

Each time you write an article, submit it to the articles directories.

What you will do next is social bookmark your site.

Go to www.prosperity66.com/bookmark, insert your website link and click on "submit".

You will now copy and paste the code into each of your web pages.

You may choose to add the text code (you may change the text as you want) or the icons code (in this case, you will have to save the pictures on your computer and upload them to your server). I personally use the text code that I changed to "bookmark this site".

When people will visit your site, they will be thus able to bookmark your pages.

You will also join these social bookmarking sites and bookmark your own pages (it is very important to not bookmark more than 5 pages per day as you may be accused to spam) on these sites.

What I personally do is that, when Associated Content has published the articles I submitted, I bookmark these articles instead of my webpages.

Join some forums related to the subject of your niche site.

Complete your profile and signature by adding your website link and a description of your niche site.

Make up to five posts within one week - no spam posts - and ensure you that you do not try to sell something through your posts. Write your thoughts or share your ideas about the posts in a topic or two.

You'll sell your products through your newsletter.

You may also create a Squidoo lens dedicated to the subject of your niche site ;-)

There is another way in addition to Adsense to earn money by writing articles and that is through affiliate products.

First of all these articles must be articles you written yourself and not articles from other authors.

What we will talk about is "contextual links".

What is it?

It is a link placed in context via a special code.

Here is an example:

"Welcome to our comprehensive weight loss resource. This website provides a lot of information about weight loss."

When you click on the underlined words (weight loss), you are redirected to the merchant's site.

It is known that this kind of links have a high conversion rate.

To use this kind of links, you will have to type <a href="http://yourclickbankID.20bucks.hop.clickbank.net/"
target="_blank">weight loss</a> and it will appear like this on your web page: weight loss.

Html links like this one are available at Commisson Junction, Clickbank, Amazon, All-Posters, etc.

You've just created your first income earning website.

You surely already earned money with Adsense.

Write an article per week, until your site contains 30 up to 60 articles.

Submit these articles to the articles directories, make a post on your blog for each one of these articles and pign the post.

Now what? Start again with another website...
