How to start a website/blog and generate income from it

Make a promise to yourself:-\

If  you have planed to start a website/blog for your leaving than you would have to make a promise with yourself  because without it you will lose your cool soon enough so promise yourself that you will never give up until you earn a single dime through internet because many people who tried to make online earning lose their confidence after sometime and they end up like a fool believing that online earning is impossible for them but you must remember a worthy proverb that "Nothing is impossible" so why not to put your all efforts and then see the result you would get your fruit soon, so make a promise that "you will never stop until you earn your first dollar" Think about those people who have earned a lot through internet they were also human so why not you? now you are ready to keep steps in the world of online earning!

Find your interest:-?

Finding your interest and choosing a right topic for your site is the initial and very important step of your online business so choose a topic or niche that is well known by you like if you are a teacher than you must choose the education because you can write a lot about this topic and can provide valuable knowledge to the world if you choose any other topic you would never be able to provide worthy content to your reader mark my words that people search for fresh and comprehensive content so you are required to have a lot of knowledge about your niche, than you can provide them right material so in simple you are supposed to choose a niche that is well known by you and you can easily write about it!

Own site or rented site?

Now, you are going to check your pocket and if you have got some money there than go for your own site and buy a domain for your own and if you are out of money than it's best to go for free site that can also be said a rented site, because you will be having a sub domain of a real site.

What i prefer for you

if you want to know my choice than i will advice you to go for free one because it wouldn't cost you a single dime and you can learn basics of online business without the fear of  losing your money. It has been seen many times that the person who started a online business with no money and after sometime he got his own domain and he got this domain from the money he earned from the rented site so isn't it great?

 What are domain and sub domain?

The domain is the name of  the real site like google.com is a domain and  sub domain are the site that are rented on real site like yoursite.google.com

Buying a domain

if you want to buy your own domain name than you can buy it and after buying domain name you will have to register it to the registrator site the best registrator of domain are

Namecheap (1 Year Registration: $9.98)
1&1 (1 Year Registration: $4.99)
Go Daddy (1 Year Registration: $11.99)
Name (1 Year Registration: $9.99)
Gandi (1 Year Registration: €12/$16.85)

Hosting

After buying a domain now you would need some space to upload your files and content so you will also have to buy hosting some of good sites for buying hosting are

Blue Hosting
HostMonster
Hostgator
JustHost

It would cost you around 100$/year there are also cheap hosting plan but they are useless and wouldn't be worthy at all!

Hiring a person

Now you have got your own site so it's time to work hard and add some stuff to your site. If you are more worried about your site future so you can also take the expert's help and they will do the best work but you will have to pay for it. You can hire these persons from many freelance sites i have made a short list of some good and reputed freelance sites

GetAFreelancer.com (Sweden, started in February 2004)
ScriptLance (Canada, started in 2001)
eLance (USA, founded in 1998)
Guru.com (USA, started August 2000)

Make a perfect site!

If you want your site to make some money than you will have to make it perfect for the audience, because there is much competition among different sites of similar topic so you will have to make a error free website to get more audience and to make more money and mark my words! that ''All the traffic come from the search engines" so, search engines only like those sites which are perfect and error free so if you want your site to be on the first page of the search engine than you will have to do some work.

I would like to introduce some tools that can be very handy when you are trying to make a perfect site !

*for checking your site codes use this tool  validator
*for checking your site browsing use this tool browsercam
*for checking your site loading time Web Tool Hub

Adding content to your site

Here comes the most important part of this article that controls the all earning streams of your site so you will have to be more worried about it. If you want your website to be on the first page of search engine and want to earn more money, than you will have to create a right content for right topic yeah i am talking about your website niche that i have already discussed in this article so made a quality content for your site!

You can also hire the person to write for you but if you have chosen your favorite niche and have enough knowledge about it than why not to write at your own and save the money and time. I suggest you to research your knowledge than write the articles, because it would increase the quality of your content before publishing it check the grammars mistakes because articles with grammar mistakes rarely get any traffic so work on the right content!

Make it 100% working site!


Now,  if you have completed all above steps than take a long time to check the performance of your site and make sure that everything is working properly. Try to check the performance of site in different browsers with the help of the tool mentioned before.

Never try to launch your site until it is 100% complete because search engine will never like it and they would not send any traffic to your site, so if you want your site to make some money than launch it after making it 100% working.

Keep this proverb in your mind that "slow and study wins the race" so never be so hurry in launching your site!

Submission of your site to different search engines


If you have completed all above steps it's mean your site is completed now it's time to submit your site to different search engines. Below is a short list of top search engines where you can submit your site.

Google . The No. 1 search engine
Yahoo  Free submission, but requires registration
Bing (formerly MSN and live.com)
Ask.com (sitemap is required)
Cuil.com (email is requested)


These tools would help you to optimize your site in major search engines for a better indexing of your site don't forget to include Meta Tags on each and every page. After launching your site, make sure that you submit your site sitemap to all major search engines. You will be able to submit the sitemaps via the tools that are shown above.
Sitemaps are the simple files that have all the URLs of the pages in your site. Sitemaps can help SEs to know about the number of pages of your site.

Keep updating the fresh content:


After completing all above steps, now it's the exam of your patience and your efforts that you would have to put in your website to get your aim. Keep the content of your site fresh by posting at least one article per day. 

During this period you would also have to control your emotion, that will try to stop you from achieving the positive results. You would have to keep away the negative thoughts to get the goal.

Just; concentrate on the positive result and think about the win win situation, that would be useful while dealing with those shit thoughts!!
