If you’ve been reading my previous posts you will now have hosting.

As I said earlier I use Servage
to setup a blog is really easy with Servage. Login to your control panel, on the left-hand side you’ll see a link for autoinstaller, click on this link and on the next page you’ll see blogs at the top with WordPress – unicode just under it. You need to click on install, select your domain name and then click on start installation. You can add your blog to a sub folder if you would like, just enter a name to the right of the domain name before you click on start install.

Once installation has finished you are presented with the login url and sign in details. You can now login to your blog control panel and start to customise it.

Now change your password and enter your email address.

In my next post I will list the plugins I use for my blogs.

Now you have you’re domain name and hosting you need to decide which route you want to take to make money. I will show you the eBay affiliate way today. There are scripts you can purchase to make this job really easy. The one I’m going to use today is called BANS, Build A Niche Store it’s $97 or £61, but well worth the price, once you’ve built your first site, you can use the script again and again. With the hosting I mentioned in part one you have enough space to build hundreds of stores, all you need is a domain name for each new store.

The reason why I’ve chosen this script is that it’s so simple to use, you just upload it to your hosting and follow the step by step manual. If you haven’t already joined eBays affiliate program the same manual walks you through joining. I don’t need to go through all this again as the manual has full graphics and really simple to follow. They also recommend ftp software to upload the script to your hosting. If you purchased the hosting I recommended, Servage then you can just click on upload file, you will need to zip the folder you want to upload first, you can download Winzip Evaluation Version for free, so if you want to build a store for the usa market, then go to the script folder for BANS and select US Store, once selected right click on the mouse and select winzip, then add to winzip. a zipped version of the folder will be created and you can now upload through upload file. Once it’s uploaded you will see an unzip button to the right of the folder, clcik this and your folder is ready to be configured. just follow the manual for full instructions.

Once you’ve followed the instruction and your store is completed you will need to promote your store, by adding it to web directories and writing articles and adding your url of your store to the bottom of the article. Also use visit forums and put the url in the signature when you post, this will Keep promoting and your store income will rise each month.

In the next part (part 3) we will create a blog.

One thing you must do is make sure your website is secure. I had a problem where my site was listed in Google, if you clicked on my site in the search engine you were taken to a porn tube site. I found after looking through the code, that a small piece of code had been added to the index.php page on the top line. I managed to reload my index page from a back-up copy on my pc and that solved the problem.

The code had a few search engine names in it, so when people clicked on my site via these search engines they were taken to another site.

I quickly changed all my website passwords as I found the same script on quite a few sites.

Now my sites are back to normal I will update the blog with money making website part two within the next couple of days.
