You have to get started creating a website because of the huge potential that is available right now. Thousands and thousands of people are starting to make money online by having their own online businesses.

Your own blog can become an incredible money maker that provides mind blowing profits if you get it right.

In my view everyone who has a laptop or computer should jump right in and start creating their online businesses. It may look hard at first but like every skill you can learn it and become better at it by giving some quality time every day.

There are a few reason why you may be holding back and I understand that it is daunting because of so much information that is available online. When you look at the options also, you will find that there are millions of options and deciding which way to go can be difficult. 

The simplest way is to focus on one step at a time and not keep worrying about all the bazillion things that you think you should be focusing on.

Steps to Create a Website? 

To make it simple for you, I have divided the task into 4 parts. There are many things that can be added but it will just make the whole process harder for you. So right now just focus on these four tasks. 

We will worry about the advanced features after we have done the above four tasks.

Here we go

---

Step 1 – Pick a Topic or Niche to Focus On

When you are creating a website, you should have an idea about what you want to focus on. Because we need to add information which is useful for people who visit our website. Just think about it. 

When you are searching for something on the internet or you are visiting a website, what is it that you are looking for?

You are looking for valuable information or you are looking to get some task done or you are looking to play some games or you are looking to buy something that you need.

Let us assume that you are looking for some information. When you visit a website, you want clear information about that particular topic. If you find the information, you are going to stay. But if you feel that it is not what you are looking for then you will simply leave the site. 

So when you create a website on your own, you need to choose a topic or niche and you have to make sure that you give information to people that is valuable to them. You must focus on providing good intel on the topic. 

You may get stuck at this point because there are thousands of things that you can focus on and you may find it hard to decide what to focus on. Here is a simple strategy I find really helpful. Just choose a topic that can cover wide subjects and start creating your website. For example there are websites which focus on technology. They create the website or blog in such a way that they can add topic related to technology and it does not matter if they are focusing on one thing or multiple things. 

Some websites focus on Food or Relationship Advice or Health and some focus on sports which can be used to write content to include several things. The advantage of this is that you do not have to restrict yourself to one small niche or a small topic which can make it difficult for you to keep on adding content. 

So go ahead and choose a broad topic which you want to focus on. 

Don’t focus on getting everything right the very first time. You are bound to make mistakes. Just take the action so that you understand the whole process. You can correct any mistakes you make as you proceed further. Just Do It is the motto that we can follow. 

Here are some topics that will get you to think and choose something

If you do not want to select a broad topic, you can choose a specific thing you want to focus on. It is your choice at the end of the day. If you are good at a specific subject and will be able to easily add content on that subject, just go for it.

There are all kinds of audiences who are looking for specific information and will be more than happy to find a resource which helps them specifically on that particular subject matter.

Again, the whole point is to get started as soon as possible and not to keep putting it off for later. You want to get this part done as soon as possible and get the remaining thing set up quickly so you can totally focus on providing valuable information to your readers.

Step 2 – Register a Domain Name and Hosting!

This is the next simple step that can seem daunting and scary. But not to worry as I have very simple solution for this. When you are registering a domain name and hosting just go to one provider and do it. It will be a huge time saver. For example, BlueHost is one of the most popular options available out there and you can easily get over this step by visiting the site and registering a domain and hosting over there. By the way, when you register for hosting with Bluehost you get a free domain name as well which is a plus. 

Fun Facts about BlueHost

• 2 Million+ websites are hosted on BlueHost
• Highly recommended by WordPress
• Easy one-click installation makes it one of the simplest options in the market

---

Get Your Domain Name

You need a name for your website. It is called domain name. Many people try to find the perfect domain name and keep on searching for that, which makes it difficult to start a website or blog. Do not worry about having the perfect domain name. 

Just think of something that is easy to remember and easy to pronounce. Keep it simple. Do not register domain names that are like long phrases. It will put people off.

For simplicity, we can try

• a domain which ends with solutions. Eg: WebSolutions.com or APSolutions or TechSolutions
• a domain which ends with planet. Eg: WebPlanet.com or TechPlanet.com or HealthPlanet.com
• a domain which ends with tips. Eg: GolfTips.com or InvestingTips.com
• a domain which ends with blog. Eg: TechBlog.com or HealthyBlog.com or Alpblog.com
• a single word domain like google, yahoo which will require some effort to come up with a good name because many are already taken 
• a domain which ends with health. Eg: WinHealth.com or QuickHealth.com 
• a domain which ends with hub. Eg: Healthhub.com or Moneyhub.com
• a domain which ends with quest. Eg: Techquest.com or healthquest.com 
• a domain which ends with site. Eg: CryptoSite.com or BigDataSite.com
• a domain which ends with truth. Eg: Eczematruth.com or fatlosstruth.com

I was able to find a good domain name – Webansia and I did not spend too much time behind it. I wanted to find something which could be related to the website business because I am totally into everything the web has to offer for people who want to start their online businesses. I wanted to find a unique name but I also wanted something that is simple to use and pronounce.

As I was searching the web, the word “ansia” came up somewhere and I looked for its meaning. It is apparently a Spanish word which means craving. Since I had a craving related to the web, I went ahead and searched for the domain name Webansia.com. Lo and behold, it was available and I just grabbed it without thinking twice.

So if you have something in your mind, go ahead and check it out. Check for similar words in different languages which you can combine with an English word or if you have something only in your own language that is also well and good.

The main thing to keep in mind is try to keep it simple and don’t make a big fuss about it. When you tell someone that your website name is blah, blah or blah, it should not confuse the person. 

Reason for selecting a domain which can cover various topics is because when you want to promote different offers to make money, companies ask for your website in order to accept you into the program or not. If you have a good website, which has good content your chances of getting accepted by these companies increases. 

For example, if you want to promote Amazon products, you have to sign up for their affiliate program and in the form you have mention your website. This is evaluated by them and if your website is good you will not face any issues. There are several other affiliate programs which also ask for your website and when you have a professional looking thing which has several articles and blog posts, you will not be declined by them. Affiliate marketing is a very lucrative business opportunity which can be setup quickly and many people make a decent income from it.

Getting the Hosting for your Website

The next thing is to select what kind of hosting you want. Bluehost has the best prices for hosting and you can select from various options. 

Since we are keeping it really simple, I would suggest you to get the Choice Plus plan which is recommended with bluehost. It has plenty of options to maintain multiple websites which helps you in the long run when you want to get multiple websites. If you want something on less budget you can choose from one of the other options which is either a Basic option (only one website) or the Plus option. 

Choosing the number of years of hosting is the next step. The more years you select the cheaper it gets for the first time you buy hosting. After the period is over, the prices go back to the original price. 

Depending on your budget you can make the decision but I find it easier to select a 36-month plan because you do not have to worry about paying again for 3 years which helps you to focus on the business and it also helps you to create long term strategy for your website.

If you do not want to pay for 3 years, you can choose a 2 year plan or a 1 year plan which helps you to get started and focus on growing your online presence.

The monthly payment option is going to be costly but if you do not want to pay more than a hundred bucks then you can simply use the monthly options which can be easily abandoned after a while without having to worry about it. This option will be suitable for only those people who are not thinking about long term and just want to check out how setting up a website is going to be. If it seems easier then you can continue. Otherwise you can stop paying and you will not have to worry about it.

My suggestion for you is to think of it as a long term plan because the returns you will see will be more than enough to cover the expenses. The initial start is what many people are scared of and keep on researching without taking any action. The amount of money you are spending is very less when you take into account the other expenses you may be doing. And since this opportunity has the ability to give you returns after sometime or immediately for some people, you are not losing anything.

So my friend, let’s go ahead and grab the 2 year plan or the 3 year plan.

Steps

1. Go to Bluehost.com
2. Click on: Get Started
3. Click Select on Choice Plus (or any other plan you want)
4. Enter Domain name you want in Create a new Domain or Use a Domain name you already own. Click Next.
5. Enter you Account Details and Credit Card details. In Package information choose the number of years you want. In Package Extras, unselect Sitelock Security Essential because it just adds unnecessary cost. You can buy it later if you want.
6. That’s it. You are done.

Content Delivery Network

When you are creating a website, it is important to make sure that people all over the world can access your website quickly and easily.

To make this possible, content delivery networks are very useful. There are servers setup all over the world and when you set up a CDN your website will be made available from all these servers.

When a person from USA tries to access the site, the server closest to them will be providing the content. When someone from India tries to access, the closest server from India will provide the content. Similarly if someone from Europe is trying to access your website, the closest server from their location will supply them the content. This helps to reduce the amount of time required to access the websites.

When you get your domain and hosting from bluehost, you can setup a CDN easily from the dashboard which is an added benefit for choosing bluehost.

If you use a third party CDN it will cost extra money per month to use the service. So it is better to just use the CDN service from bluehost itself.

---

Before we proceed to the next step, a little motivation for people who are still on the fence:

There are all kinds of people who are making regular income. It is not secret. You know it. I know it. During my time spent on the internet, I have found amazing stories of people who started with nothing and within a short span of time have begun generating enough money to support their lifestyle.

• A blogger is making more than $400,000 every year selling his own courses and also affiliate products
• Just in one year after starting a blog, he has made more than $70,000 in a month
• A blogger from India is making more than $10,000 monthly
• A 16 year old kid is making $3,000 per month from his niche sites using affiliate marketing
• An introvert gal found online success and is taking in over $10,000 a month

There are many more cases like this and you can be one of them.

If you don’t do anything, you are not going to make anything.

The only way to make something online is by taking action everyday just like you would do for any job or any other business.

Don’t miss the boat. Do whatever it takes. Time to cash it in. Starting your own blog is dirt cheap and you have a fat chance of making it work. Dream big. Become filthy rich.

for your motivation

Step 3 – Install WordPress and Setup Analytics

After you have bought hosting and domain, the next part is to select the most popular platform for creating your website. WordPress is one of the easiest platforms available and it has huge support and collection of themes, plugins and tools which will make it easier for you to maintain your website.

There is a one click install option from bluehost which you can use to set up WordPress in a few minutes.

Bluehost has made a very simple dashboard to set up WordPress on your domain name. After you buy the domain name and hosting, you will be required to create a password for your account. 

After you are done with that, you will be asked to log in to your account. Click Log In.

It will ask to select a theme that you want to use for your website. If you want to go through the themes you can look through them and select the one you like. I usually skip this step because we can do this later. 

You may be required to verify your email address that you provided before proceeding further. Check if you have got any email from Bluehost and proceed accordingly.

After logging into your account, you will see the Welcome page and from here you can log in to your WordPress account. 

Clicking on the Login button will take you to WordPress dashboard where you will be doing most of the work while creating your awesome website.

Making a website with WordPress can get overwhelming if you are a first time user. But do not worry, you will be using the WordPress dashboard with ease by simply going through different options that are available. Start experimenting with different aspects of the dashboard. 

You can always install and delete various things on the platform so don’t worry about breaking anything. It is just the beginning. Play around as much as possible. 

---

Choosing a Theme 

I suggest you choose the Generatepress theme which is very popular and is one of the fastest themes in the marketplace. 

There are some other plugins which are installed automatically and I would suggest you to go and delete all the plugins. Also delete all the posts and pages that are automatically available so that you can start from a clean slate.  

Generatepress is one of the fastest themes with tons of features. You can install a free version of the theme and the premium version costs only 50 bucks which you can use on as many websites as you want. This is one of the cheapest options available which is a huge plus. If you want to renew the license after one year you get a 40% discount as well. If you do not want to renew the license then you can just use it for life without getting any updates. 

---

How to Install Generatepress

After setting up WordPress, go to the themes section and search for Generatepress. You can install and activate the theme from there.

If you want to use the premium version go to the website and pay 49.95 for the premium version. You will create an account on the website and after purchasing you will have access to the premium theme plugin which you need to download to your computer.

After downloading, head over to the WordPress setup, go to plugins and click on the add new button and then click Upload plugin. You can then select the plugin from where you have saved the zip file. After uploading the plugin, go ahead and install it and then activate the plugin. 

The next step is to go to Appearance and click on Generatepress. You will be shown various premium modules that you want to activate. There are a total of 13 premium modules included. Click on the options you want to include. I would suggest selecting all the options except Woocommerce (if you are building e-commerce type website then you can install this option as well) and activate all of them. 

In order to get regular updates, you can add the license key by copying and pasting the key into the license key field and click save. Now you have everything related to the premium theme set up.

There is another plugin which is offered by the same team. It is called GenerateBlocks. Go to the Add New section in Plugins and search for GenerateBlocks. Install and activate it as well. It will come in very handy while creating your pages and posts on the website.

Permalink Setting

After you have installed the theme, check this setting. Go to the dashboard, click on settings and you will see the option called Permalinks. In the permalinks setting, choose the option Post Name. This will be helpful for search engine optimization as the URL will be updated according to the name of the post you put and not some random gibberish.

For a detailed step-by-step procedure to install WordPress enter you name and email to receive it in your inbox.

Set up Google Analytics – Gather Data on your Visitors

Setting up Google Analytics will help you understand how your website is performing. You will be able to see all kinds of information such as how many people are coming to your website, what is the source that is sending traffic to your website, amount of time visitors are staying on your website, which pages are popular on your website, which countries are sending the most traffic to your website etc. 

There are two steps to get Google Analytics up and running on your website.

1. First sign up for Google Analytics account. Go to https://analytics.google.com/
2. The next step is to install a plugin from your WordPress dashboard. Search for the plugin called Analytify. It is a very simple way to connect your WordPress site to Google Analytics Account.

When you have analytics ready on your website, you will be able to see all kinds of information. All of this information will help you to make better decisions for your website. Data is the key. Without having these insights you are just blind to what is happening on your site. So go ahead and setup Google Analytics.

---

Set up Google Search Console 

Google Search Console is another service provided by Google in order to help your site stay relevant in the Google Search Engine. When you set this up, you will be able to see how your site is performing, you will be able to get help in indexing your site and troubleshoot any issues you find with your site.

In order to set it, go to the Search Console dashboard and add your domain name. You will be given a code to verify that you are the owner of the website. 

This has to be updated in the TXT record present in the DNS manager section. Go there and add new record. 

After you have successfully added the record, go back to the search console and click on verify button. It may not be able to verify right away. So wait for some time and then click on the verify button.

When it is successfully verified, you will be able to measure the performance of your website.

Install WordPress Plugins to Improve Your Website Performance

Getting the right plugins is very important to create a website and make it function as you want it to. Many tasks can be automated by the help of these plugins. Here is a list of some important plugins you should install and activate on your WordPress website.

Really Simple SSL

A very simple plugin which helps to make your site secure. When you go to a website, there is a lock symbol beside which shows that the site is secure.

Some hosting providers charge for giving the SSL security to your website. With this plugin, you can simply get it for free.

Analytify Plugin

Install this plugin to track visitors who are coming to your website. At the beginning it will be not worth checking but as your website or blog grows, you will see loads of visitors coming to your site and with this plugin you will be able to see how many visitors each page gets.

RankMath Plugin

When you create a website, you have to make sure that is optimized for the search engines. Since Google is the number one search engine, you have to take care of the optimization based on Google’s Algorithm.

You will be guided step by step to create an account on RankMath and then connect with the Google Search Console platform.

Go through the setup wizard and if you are not sure about anything just keep it to default settings. You can always change it later. 

Sitemap Creation

A sitemap refers to a page where the URL’s of all the pages and posts in a website are linked to. It is important to keep a link to the sitemap on your website as it will be used by bots to crawl your website. The RankMath plugin will help to create a sitemap and you can take that link and put it in the footer section of your website so that it is available from any part of your site.

Click Here to check out the sitemap for this site created with the help of RankMath plugin.

ShortPixel Image Optimizer Plugin

When you create a website, you are going to add several images. Having large size images will slow down your site and to take care of this issue, image optimizer has to be used. There are different ones available in the market. ShortPixel is one of them and it is an amazing plugin which will compress the image size and help you to load your site faster.

Any website that takes long time to load will lose its visitors and it is also not good for ranking higher in search engines. So you should invest some time speeding up your website and keep those visitors coming again and again.

LuckyWP Table of Contents Plugin

When you are writing long posts, it is very important to breakdown the whole thing into easily readable chunks. Give various headings and subheadings.

To make it easy for the visitors to go through your post, use a table of contents at the start or you can put it in the sidebar which will scroll as you go down a page.

It helps the visitors to jump to sections they are interested in.

WP Rocket Plugin

This is another gem of a plugin which will help to speed up your website. There are all sorts of options such as minifying HTML, CSS and JavaScript, reducing bloat in your database which is a common issue for many sites and you can also connect with your CDN (Content Delivery Network).

OptinMonster Plugin

Creating an email list is part of the whole process of developing your website and there is one plugin which has proven to increase the size of email lists using the best methods available. There are a ton of features that come with this plugin and help you to create opt-in forms for visitors with exit intent, in-content opt-ins and several others.

Thirsty Affililates Plugin

This plugin is highly useful to affiliate marketers. It helps to create simple links from your site to forward to the affiliate link which consists of gibberish and doesn’t look good when someone tries to click it.

A clean URL looks welcoming to the visitor and they are more likely to click the link if it is clean.

Asset CleanUp Plugin

This is an advanced plugin which helps you to decide what parts of your blog you want to load. It helps to make your site faster by disabling certain aspects which are not required on each page of your website.

Use this plugin with caution and make sure to backup your work before making changes. Before you make any changes, enable the Test mode from the settings. When you are confident that the changes are good you can disable the test mode and it will be applied to your live site.

---

Step 4 – Add Content and Optimize It

After setting up the entire website, your next task is to start adding content regularly. There are several aspects of this step which you will learn slowly but right now to get the task done, go to websites that have similar information and see how they have structured their content and start adding to your website.

Write unique content to not get penalized by google because that is one of the most important places of getting traffic to your website or blog. 

Keep your articles long and informational. People should find practical information that they can use. Look at your competitors who have several articles and try to make your site in such a way that it covers various parts of the topic. 

Create a website where people want to spend more time on. Give them as much value as possible.

You can choose the number of words you want to include in your articles. But lately if you have observed, all the articles on first page of google are pretty long. They are giving preference to those articles which are in depth and have detailed information on the subject.

If you want to get ahead of the competition, you have to also write in such a way. Keep it as detailed as possible. Divide it into different parts. Include Table of Contents if possible. Make sure it is clean and easily understandable to your visitors. 

When somebody comes to your website, they should be able to find information related to the topic and also information related to the subjects that they will be looking for. They should not feel the urge to get more information from other sites. Always give more reasons for people to stay on your website longer by showing information that really matters.

This is not an easy task. It will take time. So you have to set up a schedule and stick to it. Plan ahead. Keep a journal about various ideas you want to explore and put up on your site. Work on each article by sticking to a time frame. 

You can also pay someone else to write articles. And in order to be able to reach a big number of articles, you should hire content providers. If you have a good budget, you can get multiple articles written quickly.

The plus point of using qualified content writers is that you do not have to worry about spending time doing the research and then getting the entire article written. You just provide content ideas and content briefs and you will receive a good written article which you may need to proofread just to make sure there are no errors. The next thing is to just publish the article on your website.

How to Add Keywords in Pages and Blog Posts?

When you are creating content, it is important to focus on keywords because it will help to rank in the search engines.

Here are some points to remember

• Add the keyword in the permanent URL
• Keep the keyword in the Title of the posts
• Try to add the keyword in the beginning of your post. In the first paragraph or second paragraph
• Use subheadings in your posts and add keywords over there
• Sprinkle your keyword in the text of your page or post
• Add the keyword to the alt text of at least one image you use in your post
• Add keyword to meta description

Some people do not understand how to add keywords in their posts and just overdo it. Make sure that the content you are writing is readable because the main intention is to get your visitors to read the content.

If you are having doubts, check out similar posts from Google and see how the other blogs have added keywords in their content. The top five search results can give a pretty good picture and also ideas on how to use keywords in various parts of your content.

---

How Long Should Your Posts Be?

It has become very clear that the top results in Google are those which have more content. When you check the search results, you will find that the top ten results have a range from 2500 words to more than 5000 words.

It means that the advantage is to those posts which have more words and are also able to retain the visitors who come to the page for longer times. Create a website post relevant to what your visitors want and which will make them to read more content on your site.

When writing a post, layout a plan and create multiple sections. Each section can be further divided into subsections. This will help you to add more content and reach higher number of words.

How to Get Traffic to your Precious Website

You may think that having to create a website is the most important part and once you get done your major task is done.

That is partly true because there is a more important aspect to this whole game and it is to get traffic to your website.

If you have set up the most wonderful site in the world and you do not get any visitors then it will be of no use. That is why it is important to focus more on providing value to your visitors and getting more visitors. You can tweak and update how your website looks at a later stage as well. Just worry about getting everything set up quickly so that you can focus your time on making it popular.

There are different ways in which you can get traffic to your website. The quickest way is by placing ads on Google, YouTube, Facebook, Bing, Instagram, Reddit and other similar websites. You can also get traffic from social media influencers as well who have a good following. You will need to contact them personally and ask for what they charge to give your website a shout out from their channel. 

Another way of getting traffic is by ranking high in Google for keywords that are related to your website. You can get regular free traffic if you get the top spot on Google. It will take some time but it is worth it when you see the results for yourself.

Create pages or groups for your website on Facebook as well as Instagram and start posting content over there as well.

Pinterest is another good option for getting good traffic to your site.

YouTube is also a good source of traffic if you know how to create interesting videos and post them regularly and link to your website from there.

Here is a list of a few of them

Affiliate Marketing

This is probably one of the most popular ways of making money online. When you create a website or blog, you put content and people come and read what you have to say.

You can tell them about a certain product or service which can be beneficial and you ask them to click on a link from which they will be redirected to that particular website or blog.

If your visitor goes and purchases the thing you promote, you will get a commission on that sale. The more you are able to sell, the more commissions you make.

Some popular programs which are used by websites all over the world are Amazon Associate Program, Commission Junction, ShareASale etc. There are many different programs available for different kinds of websites.

Display Ads

You can also make money by displaying ads on your website or blog. There are various networks out there which you can sign up for and they will give you a code which you can show on your pages and if some one clicks on the ad, you get paid.

It is probably a few cents per click and you will need many visitors to make this worth your while.

Sell Your Own Products or Services

If you have your own products or services to offer, you can make a good amount of money as well. Your website or blog acts as your marketing vehicle and when you get visitors, they will check out what you are offering.

It is your job to convert those visitors to paying customers. Take their email addresses for contacting them later, provide them value and make it easy for them to purchase from you.
