This is going to be spread out over many parts, and we’re going to start from scratch.

First we need web hosting, I will recommend the company I use as you get 7500GB of transfers each month and 750GB of webspace. Plus you have easy building tools included and auto installers to make your life really easy. You will be really pushed to find a better deal online.Take a look here and add the code CUST24180 to receive 75 GB of extra storage. I have about 22 sites hosted on my account, so it works out really low priced.

Now you have the hosting, you require a domain name for your website. You need to build a niche on a subject you really know and enjoy. If you play the guitar then you could build a site on this subject, or if you’re into gardening then pick this subject. Once you know which niche, then we need to look at the keywords related to this niche. I use a toolbar to find my keywords you can find out how to use it and more about it here. Once you’ve found some excellent keywords with plenty of searches each month, see if the domain is available. I use Name Cheap to purchase my domains, go to there homepage and under “Enter the domain name you want” type your chosen keywords first together, so if you’ve chosen garden tools, type gardentools in the search box without the gap, make sure .com is selected and click search. if it’s taken then try it with a dash, so enter garden-tools. Keep entering your keywords until you have a domain that’s available. If you can’t find one available, try adding a word to the beginning or end, so qualitygardentools and quality-garden-tools. Once you’ve found one, open an account with namecheap and purchase the domain name.

Once the confirmation has come through and the domain is listed in your namecheap account, you can then point it to your hosting, if you purchased the Servage hosting mention above then, click on the domain name in your namecheap account and on the left you need to click on “Transfer DNS to Webhost” in the centre of the page you will see 5 blank boxes, in the top two you need to enter ns1.servage.net and ns2.servage.net then click save changes. Give it up to 48 hours, then your domain name will be pointing to your web hosting.

We can now start building you site, this will be covered in part two.

Advantages Of Running Your Own Forum

A forum can take a bit of work but the benefits you might experience as a forum operator make it all the hard work worthwhile.

First, it’s a brilliant branding tool. If you set your forum specific to your products and website, this will then increase their recognition and credibility.

Second, it’s a superb way to gather content that can really get a forum to rank highly in the search engines. Also if link your forum to your money making products, that will bring added benefits.

Third, it can give you new developments and ideas, as you can see exactly what others have an interest in.

These are just a few advantages, but a forum can be a good tool to add to your Internet marketing family.

How To Get Testimonials For Your Products

 

If you try to tell someone how great your product is the whole time they will be thinking that you’ll only saying this as you have something to gain out of it. It will take a lot to persuade someone to part with their money if you’re trying to sell your product yourself.

But, if a third party tells me about how good your product is then I’m going to take more notice.

Now this is how to sell a product, you should showcase testimonials from other people who know about your product and love it. You have probably seen those testimonial boxes on sales pages, now they’re put there for a reason. It works. It helps to persuade customers, it tells them that you’re not the only person that loves your product.

So how do you go about getting testimonials? Below are three easy ways.

The Review testimonial. Give out a limited number of free copies of your product before you launch in exchange for a review. If you have an excellent product, you’ll get good feedback that you can use with their permission, of course, to support your product.

Ask Leaders in your niche. Ask them to take a good look at your product and see if they will endorse it. If you can get a few good sales page testimonials from a respected person in the field, it can really boost your sales.

Trade reviews, assessments and honest testimonials with other product creators and publishers. It’s acceptable to exchange honest opinions with others. If you have a good product, then a honest opinion should be positive.

Testimonials make sells. Do what you need to do to add them to your offers!
