Parts needed to make your own website:
1 Determine your URL name: Your domain name (www.YourDomainName.com) should have your main keyword in it. With your keyword in your domain name, you'll automatically tell any search engines crawling your site that your website is about that specific keyword. Check out GoDaddy.com to see if your URL is available. If it's not, try to give it some variety. For example, if your main keyword is cars, obviously cars.com will be out of the question, but lowcostcars.com might be available and will also put the visitor of your page in the purchasing mindset since subconsciously, the visitor is being told you provide low cost cars.
Make sure your domain name doesn't contain any copyrighted words Check The U.S. Copyright Office before choosing a domain.*
2 Set up Hosting with HostGator : HostGator, for starters, is the one I use. Besides being my hosting company favorite, they are also the most user compliant with tremendous 24/7 customer service and are cheap. $9.95 a month for multiple domain web hosting for everyone one of my websites. That is the best part about HostGator, with one account, you pay $9.95 or less to host any amount of websites. This is highly important for us eBay Affiliate marketers since we will be building a bunch of websites to maximize our revenue streams. They also have a lot of great add-on tools that they offer, tools such as WordPress, a forum generator, and other useful tools to create viewer engagement on your site. So once you figure out , you will now be allowed to host all your pages for one low fee.
In order to create your eBay affiliate profitable website, you'll have to take into account your experience with websites and your financial flexibility. If you know how to make your own website
, or if you own a code generator for your website (ie: Microsoft Front Page) and would like to implement the widgets and tools offered by the eBay Partner network, that is perfectly allowed. If you have no experience with any of this, like I originally did, then you may want to use BANS (Build a Niche Store), which takes you through everything necessary.
If you have some understanding of WordPress however, then we can use my favorite method of making money on a eBay Affiliate site
with WordPress and the plug-in phpBay Pro. If you have knowledge in SEO (Search Engine Optimization) you know that WordPress enabled websites have become a favorite of Google and will help your website quickly climb up the rankings. If you're hosted with HostGator then all you have to do is scroll down on your Control Panel to Software/Services and click "Fantastico De Luxe", then you will see on the left side "WordPress." Choose that option and follow the steps necessary to complete the installation to make your own website.
