Top 10 tips on how to start a website
Top 10 Tips and advice on how to start and run an online business
1) Choose a keyword related domain name for your new website.
It is probably one of the most important parts of starting your new online business.
You must choose a good quality domain name for your business and preferable a .com or a .co.uk if you are UK based.
For example you may have a company name already, like “A & B Marketing Ltd” specialising in allsorts of marketing media and you are thinking of starting a business directory.
You would be tempted to buy www.aandbmarketing.com but this is only useful in general advertising purposes, there is no harm in buying it to point to the main domain name, but if you want to get visitors to your site you must buy something a little bit more search engine friendly, a keyword related domain.
Here is an example, imagine A & B Marketing are based in Manchester in the North of the UK and their target base for the new directory is Manchester and surrounding areas the ideal keyword related domain would be www.manchesterbusinessdirectory.co.uk because that is what someone would probably type in to the search engines who are looking for businesses in Manchester area, so if your domain is www.manchesterbusinessdirectory.co.uk you will be on the first page within a few weeks of listing your domain name to the search engines.
2) Choose good reliable hosting.
Another very useful tip is to make sure you get good quality flexible hosting. Do not be tempted by free hosting packages because in most cases there is a catch. You will probably find that most free hosting are very limited to what they can offer your business website, like low web space and data transfer, so as your site grows and more people visit then that’s where you start to get problems. Within no time you run out of web space or your visitors have drained your data transfer allowance. So what happens then ? well your provider will email you and tell you its some ridiculous amount of money to upgrade, that’s the catch. Buy good quality hosting from a reputable and popular provider.
3) Website design
This can be a frustrating part of getting your website off the ground. Do you go for these free “easy design it yourself” packages or get someone to do it for you? My advice is, if you want the best results from your website, go to a professional, don’t do it yourself or get an Internet savvy friend who claims they can do it for you. It’s an art, there’s a knack, there is a lot of things that go in to designing and developing websites that most people don’t know about and these are the important bits that make your site perform to its max. Done incorrectly and your website will be pointless, dumped on the cyberspace scrap heap by the search engines and that will do nothing for your business what so ever.
You have to invest some money at this point on your website, this is your online tool that can boost your businesses online presence to extremes.
You don’t need to spend a fortune, a few hundred pound in most cases to get you started and most web developers, including my company will say you can come back anytime and add new features as your business grows.
4) Marketing and promoting your website
This is an important part once your website is up and running and there are lots of ways to do most of this yourself. You may be tempted to try and SEO specialist, this can be a good option to fast track your website up the ranks but be careful!, there are a lot of these SEO companies that promise they can get your site to the top of google within days for something like £50 per month or more in some cases, but can be a waste of your money. If you are on a tight budget and want do most of this yourself then try Google Adwords, PPC (Pay Per Click), blogs, free ads and directories, article website like this one. A popular way is to get link backs, that’s basically your link on someone else’s website that directly links back to your website. Normally these are reciprocal link so you will have to put there like on your site to, so you will need a link page you can administer yourself. Speak to your web developer about how you can market and promote your website because they will probably have some realistic packages to suit your budget.
5) Keeping your site active
Some good advice to moving up the search engine ranks is to make sure your websites text content is constantly changing by adding a news page or a blog this can be easily achieved and simple for you to add information on your products or give advice to your potential customers before they buy. Visitors just love informative sites, they need to know that the company they are going to buy from actual knows what they are talking about and this gives them confidence in making a purchase from your website. Lay off the fancy flashing images and flash content, keep them minimal because the search engines can only read text, not images, so they may look good be won’t do anything for your ranking or relevance. Nicely on to relevance, when adding text content to your site keep it relevant to what your selling or advertising on your website, these no point babbling on about how the weather is today if you’re a plumber, stick to plumbing related topics. Tell your visitors what you do and how you do it, add testimonials from previous customers or clients, contact them and ask them to write a testimonial for you and put it on your website, nothing better than word of mouth.
6) Providing good customer service
Once your sites up and running always be attentive to your customers, make sure you answer all your emails regularly, don’t leave it for days to get back to people, its annoying and ignorant not to reply and you are losing potential business. Once you have a sale keep that customer informed every step of the way. I know you cannot always be online 24/7 but at least make it clear that they will receive an answer to their email within a certain time, put your online opening hours on your site in your enquiry area so they know you are close on a Sunday and won’t expect a reply until Monday.
As I said above, nothing is better than word of mouth so ask your previous customers to use your feedback form on your site to give their opinion of their experience buying from your website.
Speak to your web developer they can provide a simple feedback form and page which will display your customer feedback on your website automatically, on approval by yourself of course.
7) Don’t neglect your website
There are quite number of businesses out there that either forget or cannot be bothered to keep their website up to date. These people don’t realise the damage they are doing to their business, just because you cannot see the visitors to your site doesn’t mean they don’t have something to say. One disappointed visitor could be a lost sale. You must make sure your site is correct, informative and most importantly up to date and working correctly. Visit your site daily to check it’s functioning properly, if not get on to your developer and ask them to fix it. You wouldn’t leave the front door to your shop locked or broken to the point the customer can’t open it, they would walk away. This has the same effect online if your site is not working properly, like the navigation of links to pages don’t work they will simply go to your competitors website. You could potentially lose hundreds of possible sales a day through neglecting your site. Pay your web developer a maintenance fee to make sure your site has support just in case it breaks down or needs immediate attention its worth it.
8) Patience & Consistency
These are two major requirements of running your website. You must be patient when it comes to marketing nothing happens over night no matter what you hear, you must allow time for your site to mature on the internet, search engines prioritise older more established sites so it make take some time before you see any movement up the ranks. Consistency, well you must keep up with any marketing and SEO work to keep boosting your website up those ranks, if you stop you are dead in the water, and you will start to sink. You must keep a regular check on your sites progress and keep pushing those link backs, blogs, articles and advertising wherever you can, being patient and consistent will eventually pay off. I have used all the methods mentioned in this article for some years now and I adopted the patience and consistency philosophy and its been a great success for me and yes it is hard work but this is your business we are talking about and nobody with their own business will have it easy, until they’ve made it.
9) Monitoring your progress
You must keep tracks on your progress in the ranks and to do this you can either sign up to a stats monitoring website and add some code the page your want to monitor or ask your web developer to add some kind of stats page on your site.
Most of these facilities can monitor your page daily, weekly, month, yearly visits, hits, page views and so on. Its important to understand what all these mean and you can get information on all of these figures from the Internet. You can see the progress and increased in visit to your site, where they are being referred from so you know which sites you’re advertised on are doing the most for you.
10) Success or failure
This all depends on your drive and ambition to succeed in business, not all of us have this drive to work for ourselves and some will never know, but you have to try and take a risk to become successful. All business people are risk takers, some win some lose, and those who lose get back up and try again, now there’s the drive and ambition. Those who succeed don’t stop there, they want a new challenge so they start a new project another chance to increase their success.
Once you have your website up and running and you see its working for you, while not go for global domination? Or at least local domination, start up another website selling similar or related products or services. Imagine a plumbing services website and then a Plumbing supplies website with your plumbing services advertised on it and vice versa. There is no limits to what websites can do, so now is time to get planning how you are going to start your online business.

Making money from the Internet (Part 2)
Hi Welcome back, here is part two of making money from the Internet.
This section deals with Ebay products and pricing.
Heres a quick guide for buying to sell on eBay.
1. Buy the latest product that’s light & easy and cheap to post.
2. Dont sell anything under £5 its not really worth the hassle.
3. Whatever you plan to buy, price research is important.
4. Dont bid on anything you know nothing about, its can be fatal.
5. Make sure that you are only paying at least one third of the actual retail value.
6. Stick to your budget at auction, its easy to get carried away when bidding.
An example: buy for £10, retail at Currys for £60, you sell for £30, and people will snap your hands off. Sell for £50 and you will be lucky to sell any, people want a bargain, brand new, boxed and unused.
Remember these simple steps and you cant go wrong.
Starting a business online is the ultimate dream for some people, actually owning a dot com, starting up on a budget of a few hundred pounds and selling in two years for Zillions.
Well maybe not everyone can do this and very few have but there is still room for money to be made by budding INTERNET entrepreneurs.
The thing is you will keep hearing of another Internet company selling to some other Internet company for 185 Billion or something, started by John Smith in his bedroom at the age of 10.
You can be next, anyone can be next.
Remember the PIXEL guy from the UK who was sat in his bedroom one day, bored and looking to make money for his university education? He decided to design a website and sell the space on it for advertising pixel by pixel, it was call ed the Million Dollar Website.
You have to give respect to the guy he wanted to make a million pound from selling advertising space on his un-heard of website, well it was unheard of until the national news and TV heard what he planned to do, in no time at all everyone was curious and logged on to his site, pixels sold like mad and he made his million within weeks not months as he originally planned.
Now if a young guy like this can think of something like that, then whats the problem with making money online yourself, get thinking…
Sell 1000s of hot products online without the need for any stock.
Work from home part time and increase your income.
Hows it all done ? well we can show you how.
We have genuine small online businesses for sale that sell fast moving products like Mobile phones, designer clothes, designer lingerie, adult toys, gadgets & gizmos, pet products, baby products, home and garden, designer watches, designer jewelery and many more product ranges.
Own one of these businesses for only £199. No month fees or commission to pay anyone, 100% profit is yours to keep and only cost £49 a year for hosting (First year included)

First steps to register as self-employed
When should I register?
Everyone starting out on their own needs to register with HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC). You should tell us as soon as you start working for yourself; we can not accept registrations before you start self-employment.
If you do not register within the first three months of self-employment, you may have to pay an initial penalty. The form you complete gives us the information needed to register for income tax and National Insurance purposes. Further penalties can also arise the longer you leave it to register when payments are due and have not been met
If you are self-employed in a partnership, each of the partners must register separately.
You may want to refer to Working for yourself The Guide (PDF 1.14MB) which will give you useful help and advise on getting things moving when starting up in business.

New Business Website Design Advice
If you are a new business and your looking to get a website designed then you need to read this first.
After about an hour of searching for a good but cheap website designer you will probably be getting to the point where it starts to get overwhelming as there seems to be so many options and so many companies to choose from.
Well sit back and relax a minute, take a breather, I have a solution to this and you only need to answer these questions below…
1. What’s your budget?
2. What is the nature of your business?
3. Are you looking for a shop or brochure style website?
4. If a brochure style site how many pages, usually 4+?
5. Do you require hosting?
6. Do you have a domain name?
7. Do you need to update some content on your site yourself, i.e. news, portfolio etc?
8. And finally, find a website that you like the look of and remember the address.
Put all this information into an email and send it to at least 10 of the website design companies that instantly caught your attention, forget price, forget the flashy ad’s, just look at them, if you think, "Hey nice website" then you like their style, they go on your list until you have ten of them.
Write an email similar to this one below and send it to each company you have chosen…
"Hi, I am looking for a website to be designed for my electrical engineering business, I have a budget of £500, I am looking for a brochure style with at least 6 web pages, fully hosted and a domain of my choice. I need to update on a daily basis my news area so I will need to manage this myself.
I have seen a website called http://www.websiteforsaleuk.co.uk/ and I like the style, could you give me a price on my requirements please."
That’s how to make it easy and all you and they need to know.
Most web design companies will provide the complete service from a doodle on a notepad to the launch of your new website.
When you start to receive replies to your emails, look at the ones which seem more personal not commercial, i.e. if you get a reply from a human not a automated response or they demand your contact details so some super salesman can bug you by trying to get you to sign up for a £10’000 website of your dreams for only £5. a month for life, take each quote and pick out 5 of the best, then look at them again and pick out 2 of the best of the best and call them to get more information.
If any fail to impress you, dump them and move on to the next favourite.
Follow these simple steps and you should get a great deal and a quality website.

DOG RESCUE CHARITY OK NEW WEBSITE
The Lancashire based dog rescue charity Hyndburn Stray Dogs In Need have given the green light have a new website built by AGTC Business Websolutions.
AGTC built HSDINs last site around 3 years ago and have constantly improved and added many features to provide a fantastic website. As technology moves on so does the Internet and new more modern features are going to be installed on the all new look website. We have no release date at time of going to press but AGTC have indicated around June for completion. Back in 2006 AGTC were commissioned to built a website for HSDIN and here is their story.
HSDIN is a charity dedicated to the re-homing of stray dogs. Our motto is “Giving Stray Dogs a Second Chance”.
We work as a team from the local council to the designated kennels and responsible for the care and treatment of the dogs in their care. The dogs, under present legislation, are kept for seven clear days, on the eighth day the dog can be disposed of i.e.: destroyed. Responsible kennel owners and local dog wardens along with local rescue centres and canine charities work together to firstly find temporary or permanent shelter, pay for any veterinary work required and move mountains to re-home all of the dogs in their care.
How is this done?
If you type the words “stray dogs” in to a search engine it will bring up HSDIN as 1st in the World. If you want to see real miracles working look on this site and you will see dogs being saved on a daily basis. Since our website was totally revamped and brought up to date by Andy Greenhalgh(AGTCs Managing Director), with the help of his wife Andrea(AGTCs Marketing Director) and their dedicated web design team, together they have revolutionized the way we re-home these unfortunate dogs. The advice and knowledge they have in the field of web design and web management is second to none. I personally know nothing about computers and the Internet, all I do know is that our charity has the number one website in the World for stray dogs and because of this we are re-homing more dogs than ever before. I still do not know what they have done to achieve this but the result is fabulous.
I truly am impressed by these extraordinary people and there is not a day goes by that I don’t count my blessings. The day I met Andy for the first time he said he believed in what the charity was about and for a small charge he would build the perfect website that was user friendly. He has achieved this and I cannot recommend him enough to do him justice.
My advice to you is use them, trust them and follow their lead. You won’t regret it. To confirm this you can ring me on my personal mobile. I don’t hero justice worship but if I did guess who it would be.

Running An Online Business
So how easy is it to run an online business and make money from it?
Like any other business starting from scratch it takes motivation, ambition and the will to be successful. Nothing will happen overnight, if it was that easy everyone would be doing it.
If you are under the illusion that you can make a success overnight then setting up an online business is not for you.
If you have the drive to start out with nothing and make something of it then you’re the right person for the job.
Buying a website business is just a small investment compared to what you can achieve on the Internet. We have all heard of the stories of people setting up websites and within 2 years they sell it for millions, well these things do happen and will continue to happen, although not everyone can be that lucky but an average successful online business can be worth thousands in a couple of years, so with lots of hard work it’s a worth while investment. Most people don’t just stop at one business they buy others and keep expanding into different markets.
How much money can I make on the Internet?
How long is a piece of string? That question is hard to answer, I mean we all start of with nothing that’s a fact and what we end up making in two or three months time, can be so different and depending on what your selling or providing on the internet this makes a big difference to turnover. The only answer I can give to this question is, “What you put in to a business, you will get out of a business”, the harder you work at it, marketing, promoting & advertising the bigger the return, so if you just sit there and wait, who’s going to know you exist on the big world wide web.
Think about it this way, would you open a shop in a back street with no window display, no shop sign and no advertising, you may get the odd person accidental walking passed and looking in, just like the internet, but that’s not going to make you a living, you will be bust in no time.
The best thing about the Internet is the cost of setting up an online business is far cheaper than your high street shop; think of the expense there.
For a small investment you can get a big return, but you do have to remember there maybe some marketing cost.
How do I advertise & market my business?
There is really only three ways of doing this,
1. Investing lots of money in to advertising and marketing.
Means investing quite a lot of your savings in to advertising and marketing through paid adverts on popular sites, marketing using SEO’s search engine optimisation companies who will use clever tried and tested methods to get you up the google ranks as quick as possible. This method is the faster track to seeing a return for your money, but initially will hurt your pocket, but still 100 times cheaper than opening a shop on a high street, so worth thinking about.
2. On a small budget for advertising and marketing.
Doing the same as number 1 but on a smaller budget. Maybe not using the most popular sites to advertise on as they cost more, use the less popular sites but have more adverting space, a popular option on this budget is Google Adwords, paid sponsored advertising on the Google results page fixed to a daily budget.
3. Free advertising and marketing.
Paying absolutely nothing for advertising and marketing is possible. This method can work and is the most popular form of advertising and marketing on the Internet today, but how is it done? Well it takes a long time to have an affect and you need to keep up consistency. Unfortunately we cannot reveal what methods we recommend as this advice only comes with the purchase of a website businesses, these are very valuable & secrets hints and tips, ‘ways’ of doing things that are not difficult to implement and are effective. But we must say!, slow it maybe!, but it’s free and does work.
When we sell a business we are always there to help and give advice, we don’t just sell businesses we are website developers who specialise in designing and building online businesses, so we know what’s hot and what’s not.
What type of business you want to run is up to you, we can set you up with a drop ship website selling the most popular hostest products on the internet today for only £199.
Look at just some of the products you can sell… Designer clothes, design watches, jewellery, mobile phones, household products, gadgets & gizmos, boys toys, baby products, pet products, electrical & electronic, audio visual, lingerie, adult products,
What’s included with one of your website businesses
Unless otherwise stated, we normally include a FREE .co.uk domain name registered to you, 12 months professional business hosting paid for the first twelve months; this usually cost £49 per year to continue after twelve months. We give you FREE technical support as well so you will always have an expert on hand.
Also you have full control over your website from a hosting control area where you can create and retrieve personalised to your website domain email, e.g. mail@websiteforsaleuk.co.uk
Some of our website businesses have their own website administration area, this is where you control stock uploads, editing/deleting products and other features of your site.
What other running costs are involved?
None unless you want to include advertising and marketing, but other than that £49 a year for hosting (first year included in the purchase price) and £24 to renew registration of your domain every two years.
Oh yes there is one other thing, electricity costs to run your computer, well you would probably have it on anyway so we can’t count that one!!!
Do I need to be a computer expert to run a business online?
If you are reading this then you know how to use a computer, you don’t need big qualifications or lots of knowledge, just basic knowledge to do this, just a good understanding of how the internet works and be able to use email services and use general software such as a photo package for manipulating image sizes from your cameras/internet pictures to your computer as most of the drop ship businesses involve uploading pictures of stock and filling in the descriptions and prices.
How do I get to the top of Google search results page?
This is a slow and very difficult thing to achieve, very few manage it, and most have been around on the Internet for a few years now so Google likes older more established sites especially when they are updated regularly.
Relevance of content is always something to remember, what you sell or do matters when Google’s robot is choosing who to show for a particular keyword, that brings me nicely to keywords, most of the time the keywords in your site are not the ones you put in the source code meta tags, it’s the actual source code itself, in the actual website. Google reads your website text and considers the relevance of your site to the search keyword so getting your website text is important.
Choosing a good domain name is also important, but again we can only reveal so much to potential purchases of our businesses, all this information is worth a lot of money so its not just a business your buying its knowledge to.

Making money from the Internet (Part 1)
I get asked by a lot of people how do you set-up an online business and actually make money?
Well this often depends on what you do, sell or provide.
For instance most people for a more rapid response and quicker sales resort to eBay and other auction websites, some people even get a eBay shop as this is cheaper than hosting your own site and its linked to eBay.
All this is true and does work, but still depends on what your selling, I have heard that some people have even sold their furniture online because they got carried with eBay selling, its addictive, turn your unwanted stuff in to money and all usually within a week.
Eventually these people realize they have nothing to sit on and that’s the end of eBay, pots of money but nothing in their home.
What you need to do is some research, find a product that is hot at the moment and save up some money at least a thousand or so, your going to need it, but the return could net you 600%.
Look online and in the local papers, loot, exchange and mart and try to find any auctions of clearance or bankrupt stock items, lets say for example the hottest thing is Mobile Phones, pay as you go, (and when I say hot I mean popular not stolen), boxed, sealed you could pick-up for something like £10 each and sell for £60 they retail at £120 because you know this you did your research.
You need a bargain to sell on eBay this is a golden rule. Don’t pay over the odds or just under retail value for something your going to sell on again or you’ll get stuck with it and be forced to sell it for less that you paid, something a lot of eBayers do.
Never buy a job lot unless there is at least 100% profit in it, by the time you take out eBays fee’s, postage, and Paypal charges your down to 80%, soon drops. .... [Posted date:10/01/09]..[Views:942]
