How To Create a Website and Make Money With It

Once you have your big idea, the first few steps you are going to take are very simple.

You are going to brainstorm a name, register the .com and then get some hosting for it.

After that, you will install your website software (in only a matter of a few clicks), followed by adding 1 of thousands of great designs available to you at the click of a button.

This website software, called WordPress, which I'm sure, most of you are well aware of, is not only far superior to anything else I've seen, but it's also easy to use, oh and did I mention, it's free.

WordPress originated as blogging software, but over the years, it's now more widely used to create any type of website, from an online store to a sales page, and of course, it's used to publish content.

The content was the first thing we focused on when we create a website. It's one of the biggest reasons for our success and that's why I recommend you also focus on it.

Before you can expect to make any money, you have to attract people to your site and the best way we have found to do this is to offer great free content.

Now, if this is something, that appeals to you… then let's begin:

How To Create A Website

Step 1) Choosing and Registering a Domain Name

Before you do anything, you must decide on a name for your website and purchase your dot Com (or .co.uk. .org .net, etc). I have a lot of domains, how I come up with the domains is simple. They are descriptive of what the site is about, so for example, ExpertPhotography.com is about how to become an expert at photography.

When my friend approached me to help him come up with a domain for an outsourcing site, I asked him, whats the goals of your blog? He told me it was to save entrepreneurs time by outsourcing. I recommended he named his site SaveTimeOutsource.com and that is what he went with.

Personally, I would only go for a dot Com (it's the most popular & easiest to remember) and I would also keep the name as short as possible.

To register your domain, go to a website called NameCheap.

A good un-registered domain can be picked up for less than $10 a year.

And is one of the most important things to get right.

Of course, feel free to shop around and choose a different registrar, the only main difference between companies is the level of customer support.

	.com	.org	.net	.co.uk	.info
NameCheap	$10.69	$12.48	$12.88	$7.58	$2.99
IONES	$0.99	$0.99	$8.99	£0.83	$0.99
Domain.com	$9.99	$14.99	$10.99	$29.99	$4.99

Step 2) How to Host Your Website on the Internet

You're on my website right now, to do this, I have to host it on a server so that people can come and visit it.

To do this, you rent some space on a server for around $5 a month and can put all your files on it and thousands of people can come and visit it without any hassle.

I personally recommend starting with HostGator. They have 24/7 live support with agents who will always be happy to help you with any issue you may have.

One of the main reasons why I recommend hosting with HostGator is because they have a tool in their user control panel called QuickInstall, which allows you to install WordPress (website software) with one click.

Now that you have a domain and web hosting, you have to let them know you want to use the two together.

You do this with Nameservers.

When you purchase your hosting from HostGator, they will email you two nameservers. You then login to GoDaddy, edit your domain settings and type in your nameserver address. Then your domain and hosting will be connected.

Here is a selection of well-known hosting companies you can choose between.

Web Host	1-Click WordPress Install	SSL	Live Chat	Load Time	Price
BlueHost	Yes	Yes	Yes	317ms	$3.95
HostGator	Yes	Yes	Yes	1099ms	$2.78
NameCheap	Yes	Yes	Yes	691ms	$2.88
FatCow	Yes	Yes	Yes	941ms	$4.08

Switching Hosts? If you are thinking about switching to a new web host, NameCheap and HostGator offer a free migration service. This means they will transfer everything from your old host to their service.

Step 3) Setting Up Your Website

Next, I will show you how to install your website in less than 30 seconds for FREE, something I have seen programmers charge as much as $500 to do.

I recommend everybody uses WordPress to run their website. It's the most popular website platform and is used by more than half of all new websites. I use it and it doesn't matter if a site is big or small, it's the best choice.

Back when I started, installing website software would be no easy task. You would have to upload thousands of files and learn lots of technical stuff, which no one wants to do.

However, now all you need to do is log in to your hosting control panel and click QuickInstall >> Install WordPress, less than 30 seconds later your blog is installed, you have a website on the internet and you can start publishing content.

Step 4) Customizing How Your Website Looks

At this point, your website should look something similar to this. (The designs may be different, depending on which free design WordPress is offering pre-installed at the time.)

=> Finding a WordPress Theme / Design for your Website

By using WordPress, you are now able to use over 100,000 already created blog designs. Some free and some much better that come at a small cost.

Once you have chosen and downloaded your blog theme, you need to log into your WordPress admin area. Then click Appearance on the left side, then click Themes. Click upload, find your theme, and once installed, active it.

If you want to hire a designer to create a logo or website design, you could use Fiverr.

While I recommend buying a Theme and customizing it to your needs, there are plenty of free alternatives that can also be customized available at Wordpress.org

=> How To Customize Your Blog Design

With most good blog themes, you get a custom dashboard to edit the look and feel of the theme. On the left-hand side of your WordPress admin area, click the blue button with the name of your theme on it. In here you can edit almost everything, it's all very self-explanatory, go through it and make the changes you want.

Next, click on Appearance >> Widgets on the sidebar.

Here you can move things around, adding, editing, and removing widgets on your blog.

A widget is like a gadget or an attachment. Something not required for the site to function but can be used to improve it in some way. An example of a widget could be, an advert, an email signup box or popular posts.

Here's how my blog looks now:

Here's an example of what your website could look like immediately after following this guide:

This is typically the look I go for when I create every new blog, including IncomeDiary.

I keep it simple, I make it usable. Then once the site proves itself, I invest more money and time into it. This way, I risk little up front, but using a few great resources, still manage to build a professional-looking site.

Step 5) Optimizing Your Website For Search Engines (SEO)

The majority of our website traffic comes from Google.

To rank high in Google, you need to work on your website's search engine optimization.

It's best to get this step right from the very beginning because it will save you a lot of time in the future, not to mention you will get a lot more traffic sooner. Here's a list of our top SEO tips for new websites:

Install Yoast SEO Plugin for WordPress.
Choose your permalink settings, I recommend /%postname% – this will mean your blog posts URL's will display as domain.com/postname – a lot of bloggers include category or date in the permalink, but this is not something I would recommend because it makes it difficult to change categories or dates as it will change the URL.
Research keywords using Ahrefs. Keywords are the search terms you want to rank for in Google. Ahrefs tells you which keywords get what amount of traffic.
Make sure to add links in posts to other pages on your site and other people's sites in posts. This helps Google figure out what your content is about and helps reduce bounce rate.
Don't have duplicated content.
Add a sitemap to your website.
Don't have broken links on your website.
Make sure your website is as fast as possible.
Google ranks websites higher for having HTTPS / SSL websites. Some web hosts offer this for free.
SEO requires keyword research. These keyword research tools will help.

Step 6) Publishing Content

We have a lot of articles about creating content. I would say, 80% of getting traffic to your website is about creating the best content possible.

Examples of content you can create:

How-to guides
Interviews
Top lists
Videos
Podcasts

This guide to Website Content Hacks will help.

Our biggest tips for making sure your content brings lots of people to your site is:

Do keyword research. If you choose keywords that no one is searching for, then you shouldn't expect people to find your articles.

Keyword Research

Above you can see a screenshot from Ahrefs. Using this post as an example, I searched for "How to create a website". You can see in the top right corner, that it gets 119,000 searches a month.

That's a lot of traffic!

Perhaps too much traffic because the more traffic a search term gets, usually means the harder it is to rank for.

On the left side, you can see that I will need 259 websites to link to this article to rank in the top 10. Now, this is a lot because it's a very competitive search term, but it's not impossible.

Getting backlinks is mainly down to creating great content. If you can create better content than anyone else that ranks for the same search term, then you have a good chance of ranking high in Google.

If you don't want to write the content yourself, you can hire writers on Fiverr.

Step 7) Monetizing Your Website

In our experience, the best way to monetize a website is to create and sell your own products. However, when you first start your website, this is often not possible because you need to spend most of your time creating content.

What I would suggest to anyone with a new website is, build an email list and focus on monetizing your website with affiliate links.

An email list lets you collect emails from readers so that you can email them later.

Affiliate marketing is when you promote another business's product and receive a commission when people buy through your link.
