How to Create An Online Business

Alright so you might need a web hosting service to start your own online business. What you can do is you can either use a paying hosting service or you can use a free service like a blog for example like blogger or wordpress if you know what your doing.

Now for the advantage of using a blog like blogger or wordpress is you don't really need to pay for anything for the hosting.

The Advantage of blogger: For blogger you got quite a couple of advantages for blogger.com one of them is you can make easy posts to blogger. when you make an easy posts you can just throw thing is and your done then you go to make another one post. The next advantage is that it is owned by google so the big part about that is the more words you have in a blog the more traffic your gonna get to your blog because of something called key words which is something that will be found in Search Engines. Plus the Best part is that google adsense made a requirement for getting google adsense but after when you have put a lot of work into your blog when its like about 6 to 8 months later then you can sign up for google adsense to earn money from your traffic which is a plus to make an income. When google adsense was first realesed for blogger a lot of people signed up so they could earn money from there traffic. They made it so you have 6 months or more because people were getting so obsessed with making money on it.

Disadvantages of Blogger: The disadvantages of blogger are a few things one of them is traffic which is a big problem, when you start out using blogger don't try putting affiliate programs or anything in like that at first. Same with google adsense because you'll have a lack of traffic to your blogger blog. Another Disadvantage is because of lack of knowlege on how to use blogger properly. What happens here is because of niche marketing. If you have like a subject of you blog posts on say like footbal and which is a sport and your using affiliate programs that are not pert of your niche, its not gonna work. The last disadvantage how you type your posts when posting about something in your niche that your good with. Like again with football lets say you find an affiliate program that gets you paid by each person signing up which is called pay per lead (Will be explained more in the affiliate marketing section) and your trying to get these people to sign up if you make your post look all spammy or anything like that its not gonna get you anywhere having your affiliate link in there. What you wanna do is the opposite you wanna make it like and article and leave your affiliate link so people can visit the site. So don't type in anything with cap letters or anything that would look like a get rich quick scheme like make money overnight while you sleep. Thats not gonna cut it. Make it provide with value and and information not a spammy letter saying people can make money at the push of a button.

Advantages of Wordpress: Now the advantages of wordpress is that there are a few good things its more search engine Friendly and allows you to make your blog on wordpress more sticky (which mean people will stay longer) and they will read your posts. The other advantage is you can make your wordpress blog look similar to a website which is a big plus with a custom CSS which is a service on wordpress that costs money but its well worth it. The other part is with wordpress you can also get google ads and other money making programs onto your wordpress blog but its very hard to do but it pays off after it starts working.

Disadvantages of Wordpress: there is much on here for disadvantages to word press but i can tell your 3 things for the diadvantages.

1. you are limited by what you can use. Say like you want a video on your wordpress blog the only things i knew so far was you can either use viddler.com which is like youtube only better because you can upload videos that are longer then 10 minutes, or you can pay for a service to wordpress for their video service to host your videos from there website.

2. You cannot get much out of it at first. when you start out you can't use plug-ins or use any of the services they provide because it costs money so wordpress is expensive about these kind of things so be careful what you want.

3. The last part for wordpress is that the layout of doing your posts and other things to design and make you blog the way you want it is difficult at first because of the way wordpress's terms and conditions and privacy policy. I've tried putting an affiliate link it to test it and they blocked it from anyone clicking through. So be careful about this.

Using a Paid web hosting service:

Okay so the advantage about using a paid web hosting service is that you'll get all the tools you'll need from the website you'll visit and pay your months or years for your hosting. which mean if you can make more money with your website and being able to pay for the expenses for the hosting then your on a good start. Like i said for the blogs use google adsense and any other programs that will be explain later for your income. Now the one thing i'm gonna pitch in is if you have a digital profuct that you made you can use that too with a paid web hosting service. this will work great if its a product to help someone in a common need that is having trouble.

Some Examples of Blogs and paid web hosting services:

Like i explained here - Blogger.com, Wordpress.com, and also you can try Typepad.com but i've never tried that before but you can give it a try.

Paid Hosting websites - Hostgator.com, Godaddy.com, Etc.

Affiliate marketing is an easy way to start accounts for companies that are looking for people to have them help send traffic to there website. There are many different forms of affiliate marketing if you choose this type of business model to start your own business. Now i will explain to you how each of them work down below.

I'll explain everything in Plain English so if anyone is new to this they'll have an idea on what to do.

Pay Per Sale in Plain English:

This is a type of affiliate program where you as the affiliate has to find a way to generate traffic by using something called pay per click which is using advertising like google adwords or using yahoo and other similar sites. This can be easy to do but hard and difficult to get sales. The best thing to do it do keyword research for the search engines and find what trends are going on who know you might hit a jackpot the one day getting a lot of sales then maybe the next day you might not get as much or maybe more then what you first earned. Affiliate marketing earnings are very un predictable because you'll never know whats gonna happen on the day you have your product up for advertising. You can also try making a website with your product your an affiliate to or try a free way of getting traffic (Using free Web traffic from like social profiles).

Pay Per Lead in Plain English:

Pay per lead is a much easier way of earning money as an affiliate say like your on a website thats related to your niche and you wanna add it to your website and get money for each person you send to the website your an affiliate too. There are many different types of niches that have this model and it will be easy if you have the right website and niche matching your website or blog. If you have the wrong type a website to be as an affiliate if it something you don't like but has your niche its gonna be very hard for you to market with this business model of affiliate marketing.

Pay Per Impression in Plain English:

There are 2 websites that are like this and one i personally used which is called Linkbucks.com which is a pay per impression website were you make a free account and you take a link or url your trying to share with people and what it does is it gives you a link they provide with you to help you get paid from their website. What they use is advertising to help you get paid and you get paid per impression or per person clicking on your link and visiting the website your using. The other website like this i'm not really gonna tell because it was an adult website so all i can say is it was sort of the same as linkbucks.com only you get paid through your affiliate for people viewing the website when they click on it.

Affiliate Networks in Plain English:

Short, Simple, and Sweet. Affiliate Networks are a great place to go to if you can't find a product that is in your niche on your website or something you wanna advertise in google adwords or other advertising websites. What you can do there is make an account like on the google affiliate network or Commission Junction to find a hard to find product that you want. All you have to do is type in what your look for in the network then you'll get a list of websites and then you'll choose what you want then your good to go. Period.

Affiliate programs in with tiers (Levels) Plain English

Affiliate programs that you might use might have tier programs in it which would have1 tier, 2 tiers, or possibly 3 tiers (levels) which is where when you have a referral sign up for the affiliate program under your affiliate link then what happens is you earn commissions under that person in your first tier that signed up but you get a lower commissions from when they make sales. So this can be helpful and very powerful if you know a lot of traffic skills and know how to get people to join.

Now the last one has been saved for last which is hard to do but gets you a lot of money the same way as affiliate programs with tiers (Levels) do.

Drum roll please....

Pretty much the best affiliate program to use is...

Affiliate Programs with Subscriptions in Plain English:

What this kind of affiliate program is just like a normal affiliate program where you have a referral sign up to say like use Aweber (On video below) and they sign up for it and they'll pay for the subscriptions and you'll get a commission off of it because they signed up under your affiliate link so its pretty powerful after when you have a lot of people signing up for this type of service and you earn commissions off of it.

See the video below for a better idea for some of these programs.

Now social media i would have to say is the easiest part of having an online business. The reason why? a couple of good reasons on why its easy. When you go to make a few profiles even twitter things get easier over time when you get more people that notice your service you are giving to them or offering them. The one thing you don't wanna do is spam because this will get your profiles account suspended or banned then you'll have to start all over from scratch. Now one of the things to do is use things to help people out besides talking about your service or business because if you keep talking about you business to people they'll finally get fed up and might ignore you.

Now one of the things i like the most that you use for social media is twitter. The reason why to use twitter your probably wondering. Using twitter is a very hot thing right now because of how many people that are joining every month, after month, and after month. Thousands and thousands of people join every month. So twitter is a very good way of getting hot prospects and also making friends on the way. Make sure you use a social media website wisely. Like i said you keep promoting and spamming the same thing your never gonna get anywhere with that.

So my advice to you is to learn from someone if your gonna use twitter as one of your web 2.0 Traffic Generators i suggest you learn on how to automate your twitter account to keep everything under control on your twitter account even when you sleep the automation of your twitter account will do the work for you.

If you gonna use other websites like myspace and facebook i wish you good luck on that.
