Becoming a Web Hosting Reseller

Want to make money in the web hosting industry? The best way to start a web hosting business (if you a re a beginner) is by getting a reseller account with an established web hosting company.

For the Beginner, you really don't want to start spending a lot of money on getting your business off the ground and you dont have a lot of time to learn everything about the business. Web hosting companies have made it very easy for you to start your own web hosting company. They ususally will have a couple of different plans to choose from, either a very simple plan where you would just sell their existing plans, while they give you a discount or a more advanced plan where you will be a Private Label Reseller. This means that your customers will never know that you are a reseller. It's perfect! They host you customers, handle all the server aspects of it, you just have to handle your customers and run the business. Let the web hosting companies worry about your server, downtime, etc. You can concentrate on getting more people to your site and selling plans. Also, you can make up your own plans if you want, this way you have full control over the plan features and pricing. Some web hosting companies even handle support calls for you. If they do not, there are a few companies that you can outsource your support and sales calls to. Your web hosting company should be happy to send you to the right place.

The Basics of Website Promotion

Website promotion is, quite simply, the process of getting the word out about your site. Like any kind of marketing or promotional effort, website promotion requires planning and strategy.

Where to Start

Before jumping headfirst into site promotion (and, perhaps, even before building your site), you’ll want to think carefully about your target market and your site’s purpose. Who do you want to visit your site? What do you want those visitors to do when they get there? With so much information out there, and so many means available for website promotion, it’s tempting to dive in without testing the waters. Just as with more traditional forms of spreading the word, though, you want to figure out what you have to offer, and who will be most interested. Promotion should focus on bringing those visitors to your site who want or need whatever it is you have to offer.

Building Websites with Directory Generator

Directory Generator, a product from Armand Morin and Marc Quarles, builds directory-style websites for you in a matter of minutes. It is simple to use, it's reliable, it does what it claims to do. The tool is essentially a push-button site builder - all you really have to do is upload the generated pages to your host system. There are no fancy technical skills involved.

Directory Generator gives you control over the finished product in a number of ways, one of which is that you can put a "classified"-style ad on each page. As I alluded to above, there is a form in Directory Generator that lets you paste your Adsense code into it, and out come your Adsense ads on your site. You can even control the approach to your file directory structure on your host i.e. put all your generated pages in the root, or in a sub-folder that you name.

Building Ecommerce Web Sites: Where Do I Start?

Building a web site isn't something that is really cut and dry. There's a huge variety of products and services that can either help you get your web site where you want it or simply confuse you. It's also important that you make the right choices upfront so that you don't end up having to restructure your whole web site because of some problem in your design layout. The level of time investment neccessary for mastery in a lot of these software packages can range from little to a VERY significant amount. Because of this I feel it's important to be lead in the "right" direction to make sure you don't spend time in the wrong areas, or learning some software that might not be all that useful for you later on (*coughs* Frontpage *coughs*).

Anyone Can Build a Web Site!

There are many levels of computer "savvy"

I'd like to think I am quite experienced, but actually, considering the vast knowledge that I have never been trained in, I'd have to consider myself to be just above the beginner level. I know how to navigate, but I am untrained on the technical science of the World Wide Web. Although I have spent thousands of hours in front of my keyboard and monitor, searching, absorbing and creating, I still have no scholarly knowledge of HTML (hyper text markup language), or things like CGI, Perl, Java script, or other computer programming languages. All I know is that I love to build and design websites, and I love the idea of all of this vast knowledge, available at my fingertips.
