Day 6: Build Your Website

Hope you have been busy with all the work I've given you :-)

I would love to hear feedback from you - do you like my tips, have you found them useful, do you need more help - whatever your question or suggestion, send them to me at my helpdesk.

Let's go on to today's task. Today, we will start creating your website. Apart from webspace, a good website builder is one of the most important investments you can make to earn money online.

Check out the website builder I recommend.

Now, for those who signed up for free webspace, check out if you have a page builder or site builder in your account. This will help you build your webpages.

When you build your website, remember these things:

- Keep the layout simple. This means no flashy graphics, no rotating images etc. This just distracts your reader and you will end up not making any money at all.

- Make sure you have a good navigation menu.

- Stick to one topic. Each website should have one topic and one topic only. If you start a site about gardening, don't jump over to sports or anything else by the third page.

- Create at least 25 pages. Next step is to apply for an AdSense account and you need a website with at least 25 pages to do that. So add at least 25 pages of content.

I have built all my websites using XSitePro, which is a bit expensive but of excellent quality. It takes care of everything related to website creation and I can use it as easily as I type a Microsoft Word document.

You can easily create a WordPress blog instead of creating a website. That is another option for you to consider.
