When it comes to building a profitable website you need to plan and prepare first. Far too many people will have an idea for a particular type of website and then straight away buy the domain name and then start to build it without actually thinking through what it is they need to do. Just like these people I would build hundreds of websites and then spend time constantly moving from one to the next without any real plans in place. However today I have learn that it is much better to concentrate on have no more than 20 sites and because of this I have seen my income dramatically increase.
In order for you to make sure that the sites you end up creating for yourself are profitable there are a number of steps that you will need to follow. If you stick to the formula we provide in this article you will soon see just how the quickly the income from the sites you build increases. But before you actually start building your sites you need to get a ring binder and same paper. You then divide the binder up into sections for each site you are wishing to create. You may want to do this on your PC but you will find that you actually use what you have within the folder more when it is just beside your PC.
Step one is the Keyword Research stage. Here you need to think all about the niche and what logical sections you will have. A niche can just about any topic you can think of, you’ll also find than many niches will have profitable sub niches which you should also explore. For example Cars would be a good niche but SUV’s would be a sub niche and carburretors would be another tight sub niche. The main thing with keyword research is to find a good mixture of keywords some of which have very little competition and others that will challenge your promotional skills.
The second step and certainly one of the most important is planning. A lot of people will actually miss this step out completely but you must not. So take a piece of paper from your folder and start to write down what you want your site to contain. You need to work out just how your site will look and whether you want to have sub directories or just sections within it. Just by making a few notes and keeping these will help you at a later stage as you will be able to refer back to them and see which site models you have used before are the most effective and which ones are not.
The building stage comes next. In the planning stage you should have decided what tool you are going to use to build your site. There are many available some are free others cost hundreds of dollars. If you are just starting out I would suggest using Wordpress as it’s free and can be easily installed from many websites Cpanel.
The biggest thing that any website owner will fall down on when it comes to building a site is promoting it. Often they will only do enough in order for it to be indexed and then as soon as it has become bored and decide to move on and build the next one. STOP! If you really want to see your sites start to earn an income for you then you must continue to promote them. Therefore you should try to spend an hour each day for the next two weeks on promoting your site.
A site lives or dies on whether it receives traffic. Traffic can come from many sources. If you have done your website promotion properly then you’ll soon start receiving traffic from search engines. This organic search traffic is free and it should be what you are striving for.
The main objective for nearly every webmaster today is monetization especially if they are looking to earn an income from their sites. But the biggest problem that many of these people have is that they monetizing them far too early. Often I find it much better if I leave the sites I have built for about 3 months before I actually montize them. Certainly it is not to your advantage to add Adsense immediately to any sites you build as this could seriously affect your page ranking and so reduce the amount of traffic that is going to be directed towards it and help you to earn money.
If you start to incorporate the these 6 basic steps into your site building routine you soon start to see the benefit. Along with the increased profits you find the confidence to take on bigger and more profitable projects.
