Starting Your Website

Do you know how to tell a successful person from an unsuccessful one?. The easiest way is by the language they use. When you talk to a successful person about his goals, he'll tell what he plans to do and when it will be done. When an unsuccessful man talks about his goals, you hear something of this nature, 'I hope to do this some day'. The problem is that that 'some day’ never comes.

A goal without a time limit is no goal.
If you wish to achieve anything in life, you have to place a time limit on it. A time limit forces you to take action immediately to meet with the deadline else you fear you won’t be able to achieve the set goals. Don’t be afraid to fail. Know that failure is required in order to succeed. Making a living off the internet is something many people want to do; it’s something many of my acquaintances want to achieve too.

My advice to them and to you too is to first go and build a website. Now things have been made easier for you with the advents of blogs.

Blogs are ready made websites that can be hosted on the parent service provider e.g (blogger.com, typepad, wordpress etc) or hosted on a separate hosting plan.

For a free blog, the name of the providing company is usually seen as an attachment to your website name, if for example you plan to have a site that is into cleaning and you have the name 'good cleaners' planned to use as your site name,, naturally you should be registered as something like www.goodcleaners.com, however because you are on your blog's host say blogspot.com, it will be displayed as www.goodcleaners.blogspot.com.

However if you can register your domain name (goodcleaners.com), you can still maintain your blog and be able to discard the blogspot.com, so you will now have www.goodcleaners.com on the same host and you wont need to pay any additional money apart from the initial cost of domain name registration which maximum shouldn’t be more than 20usd for regular domains.

No matter the amount of space you intend to use, the blogging company will provide the space (unlimited).

Again the first thing to do to harness the unending opportunities of the internet, especially money making is to register a website, if you like a free blog, that’s at no cost; however with say 2-3k, you can have a personalized website with your chosen name, you can also register fully with regular domain companies if your purse pocket can handle it.

A blog makes it very easy to customise your site and add features you want with ease.
