Steps to set up your own website.

Even though i’m not expert in making webites, I have put together an easy to follow 5-step guide on website creation. After reading this step-by-step tutorial on how to make a website, you’ll have everything you need to get your website running in an hour.

Let me give you the run down before we get started. First, in order to create a website you will have to find a domain name and a professional web hosting service. There are tons of providers out there and you’ll need to carefully select the provider as it can impact the overall performance of your website, such as speed, stability, up-time, etc. I will show you exactly where to find the best deals as we go along in this guide.

A domain name is your main address for your website and is also called a URL, for example http://www.yourdomain.com. It’s an easy to remember name to point visitors to your web hosting service. Your web hosting service is where you are provided with the web space and other tools required to support your websites content, images, etc. Think of it like raw land on which you can build a home, or anything for that matter on top.

Once you’ve setup your domain name and web hosting service (only takes a few minutes), it then comes down to actually configuring your website. I will introduce to you WordPress, a free CMS (content management system) platform that is very simple to use to build professional websites in minutes.

Let’s get started…

step 1:Registering from domain.

When registering a domain name you have to be careful and there’s good reason for this. First impressions are everything and if your domain name has nothing to do with your website content, it negatively impacts your website’s purpose. You want to make sure that use the following criteria when selecting a domain name:

1. Is related to your website’s content.
2. Is relatively easy and simple to pronounce/spell.
3. Is as short as possible
4. Has the correct TLD extension (.com, .org, etc.)

Selecting the right domain name can help you achieve better rankings in the search engines. For example, when someone searches for “laser toner”, a website with the domain name containing those words will likely rank higher than those domains that do not. It’s also known that visitors are more likely to click on search results with domain names that closely match their search query. I hope you enjoyed some of that basic SEO (search engine optimization) knowledge. Now, let’s continue…

Which Registrar?

The age old question, where should I register my domain name. I usually let people know that they should register their domain name with their hosting provider, its a lot easier this way and you will more than likely get it included in the service. The hosting provider that I will be recommending will offer a FREE domain name for the life of the account, this is a $12/year value, absolutely free — If you wish to opt for this method of registration, then skip to Step 2. I recommend this method.

If you do not want to register your domain name with the hosting provider, I suggest that you register your domain names with GoDaddy.com. They are the largest domain name registration provider on the planet, so you’ll be safe there. To get started with this process, click on this link: http://www.godaddy.com (will pop a new window)

Either way you go, your domain name will be fully functional within 24 hours, this is to allow the servers around the world to be aware of this new registration

Step 2:Getting a web hosting account.

There are a lot of web hosting companies out there, some great, some okay and some down right horrible. It’s easy to weed out the fly-by-nights by following two simple rules:

1. Avoid too good to be true offers.
2. Choose an established host.

Look at it this way, you can get a hosting account for $12 a year, the likelihood of you actually getting the service is next to none. Web hosting is inexpensive, plain and simple. Selecting the wrong host can kill your website before it’s even created. You don’t want the headaches, trust me.

I would like to recommend an inexpensive, well established and well respected web hosting provider called GreenGeeks.

Green Geeks has been around since 2006 and has an excellent reputation not only for its outstanding service & customer service but also for its community contributions and green involvement. They offer unlimited web space and disk space, perfect for your growing web site.

Step 3:Install wordpress.

You might be asking, what the heck is WordPress and why should I install it on my hosting account?

WordPress is a free content management system that has been used for bloggers and developers for many years. It allows you to create websites with ease and no knowledge of HTML. It’s highly customizable and a very powerful tool for creating professional looking websites.

Tools such as Themes allow you to select free themes widely available on the Internet to help you make your site look professional, without spending a dime on designers. It’s also great for cool plugins that make your life easier, for example “All in one SEO”, which does all the required work to ensure that you get maximum visibility to the search engines for your site.

Manually installing WordPress can be a hard task for some, especially if you’re  new! But that’s why I recommended GreenGeeks!

GreenGeeks offers a tool called Softaculous, which offers a built-in, one-click automatic WordPress installer. Fill in a few things and click install, pretty easy huh? I’ll walk you through it now

Installing wordpress with Softaculous

Log into your account at GreenGeeks, usually at https://www.greengeeks.com/login/. Once logged in, make sure you’re in your hosting account’s cPanel.

This is where you’ll be able to manage all aspects of your account, I suggest looking around to get yourself familiar with the tools that are available to you for your hosting account.

Step 4:Configure your website.

You’ll be able to see your site by going to http://www.yourdomain.com/. You’ll more than likely see the default, which is a “Hello World!” message. In order to configure your website, you’ll need to log into the configuration area which can be accessed at:

http://www.yourwebsite.com/wp-admin

About Dashboard

In the “Right now” section you’ll notice a quick link section to posts, pages, tags, category and comments. This will allow you to quickly get into the areas that you’ll most frequently use. Pay close attention to the “Update” button as well, it’s important to keep your WordPress software updated at all times!

On the left side, you’ll see a navigation menu that will give you access to all the other tools available to you. There are tons of things, but I’ll talk about the important ones:

• Posts — This is used more often when your website is acting as a blog. It will allow you to publish articles, select the category in which they’ll be archived, and let to set options specifically for that post.
• Media — You’ll be able to manage your images, videos, sounds from this menu.
• Links — If you’ve ever wanted to create a “friendly links” list, this is where you would do it. You can then use it for your sidebar widget.
• Pages — This is where you’ll create static pages, like about us, product information, contact information, etc.
• Appearance — This is where WordPress is absolutely amazing. You’ll be able to totally customize the look and feel of your website by using themes, menus, widgets and more.
• Plugins — There are thousands of plugins available to make your site cooler or your life easier for managing things. Browse the plugins area to find what you’re looking for.
• Users — You can give access to other people to modify your website, add posts, pages, etc.
• Settings — This is where you’ll manage the configuration of your WordPress installation, such as site name, URL, date format, media settings, comment settings, etc.

Now that you’ve set up your site, let me give you a few pointers of how to get your site indexed on the leading search engines.

Step 5:Getting your website into search engines.

What’s the point of building a website if no one is ever going to find it. I’ll walk you through an easy method of getting your site listed on Google, Bing and Yahoo.

It doesn’t require much work at all, all you have to do is go to a single link at http://www.submitexpress.com/free-submission.html.

That’s it, you’ve set up your domain, web hosting account, installed WordPress, configured it and got your website indexed on the search engines. Go out and tell everyone about your website and look for other places to get linked from.

I  think having a guys like you people as my friend’s is truly the best thing you can ask for. The blunt opinions, the solid shoulder, the words that slap you and bring you back to your senses, the endless patience to your endless whining, the reassuring hugs, the stupid yet epic conversations, the inside jokes that leave you  breathless with laughter while people just wonder how in hell they ever came accross you….. the list is endless.

Sure, a girlfriend/boyfriend is always by your side when you embark on a huge shopping spree but there are somethings you get from a guy best friend that cannot quite be put into words. It’s even better when he trusts you back, like in my case, where my guy besties has consulted me for the mere reasons that ‘I didn’t know who else to go to’ and ‘I thought of you first’. We’re as inspired by them as they are by us, and love them as much as they do us. ♥ I really love my besties for all that we’ve been through and all that we’ve shared. Thus my musings come to an end. Haha

Earning through online!!!

Many of  us want to increase pocket money just sitting at home and surfing internet,After all we are human beings 😛

I’ve found out many of sites providing this opportunity some proves to be fake and some which are really helpful.

Ok lets see how this actually works:

Major companies want to understand what their consumers think about their products and services. To do this they hire survey companies to  ask people like you for your thoughts and opinions, in the form of online surveys.

To thank you for providing your valuable opinions, companies are willing to reward you with cash, gift vouchers and other rewards. You won’t get rich from doing online surveys, but if you like to get rewarded for giving your opinions, you’ve come to the right place!

SurveyCompare continuously searches the fairest, most trusted and most rewarding paid survey companies, and lets you easily join them all in one go. There is no catch, and best of all, it’s free.

How do i get started?

Joining is quick and easy! Simply click “Sign Up & Start Earning” above, then select    the available survey companies from the list. Fill in the form on the final page and click register to complete your free sign up.

You’ll receive emails from the survey companies asking you to confirm your registration – simply follow the links to confirm, and you’re now ready to start earning!

You will now be receiving regular survey invites straight to your e-mail inbox. Take part in as many surveys as you choose to, and get rewarded for each one!

Can we really make money through online surveys?

Yes! This is no get-rich quick scheme and won’t replace a full-time job, but if you’re willing to commit some time and effort into filling surveys, you’ll find that paid surveys are a great source of extra income.

Do i need to pay anything?

Guys this is where you have to be careful some sites needs investment initially and some not so make sure its not  fake and proceed,I’ve provided some links which i found to be useful.You should avoid any website that asks for money or promises unrealistic pay-out return for lists of survey companies, as they are almost certainly scam site
