To make your own webpage, follow my easy guide!

Building a website can be an extremely emotional experience for those who don't really know what to do (and for those who do!). Fun, challenging, daunting, exciting, all of these possibilities regarding what you can do online are in your head... but how do you transfer them to the screen? And after that, how do you get people to look at the final production of all of your long hours of hard work, love and labour? What about when people do look, what then? Can you actually make a living from this website, make a living online (the holy grail!)??

I can feel your stress levels rising as you read this. It's a lot to consider! But don't be afraid. The good news for you out there is that I've been through it all and am willing to help you through too, step by step.

Ideas for a Website Topic - Research Tools
Choosing your topic depends on two main questions: what you want to achieve from your website, and what your interests are. Basically, what is your main drive that is urging you to create an online prescence?
Website Structure and Choosing a Template
Ok now that you have the basics down, you need to think about your template for your website, as well as your site structure.
Choosing the Best and Cheapest Website Hosting
I remember that when I started my first little website, my hosting choices were pretty limited. Many businesses were charging the earth to host my little set of files each month.
Creating Your Own Website and FTP
By now you have a domain name and hosting account and are ready to start creating your masterpiece. What to do now? My hearty recommendation is to install Wordpress.

Here's why I can help you to build your own website.

MakeI began my long term affair with the prospect of making money over the internet over ten years ago. On a whim, I bought a book on html and devoured every confusing part of it. Some of it sunk in, some didn't. But I kept on with my dream, and started my own first little website. Like a newborn colt, it was shaggy, messy, wobbled as it moved and didn't quite know what to do with itself, but it was my achievement and I loved it.

Moving on through the years, I have spent countless hours learning and developing my website designing skills. As a stubborn person who hates to ask for help, I did this on my own, painstakingly needling out the solution to every question and speed-bump that rose up in front of me on my quest to achieve online success. Now I have a small group of websites doing well online. Not only that, I have a wealth of handy information in my head, and the strong memory of what it was like to be fumbling around in the dark, struggling to learn the major steps of website building, promoting and monetising.

I'm not saying I know everything. But in this Squidoo series I will teach you everything I know. Ten years of my hard labour into a few minutes of your time - it's a bargain! Why? Because building websites is FUN. And I want you to have fun too. I will be updating these lenses as I learn new things, so remember to check back from time to time.
