Steps to Starting a Home Based Business - Training & Resources

With the internet and the world wide web starting a home based business has never been easier.  Let's jump right into it...

Web Development/Management

Developing your own web site is critical to building a successful business. All of the top income earners have their own web site.  And keep in mind were not talking about corporate or replicated (mirror) sites...  The search engines ignore these sites and there are already a glut of these sites all over the internet (millions of people trying to peddle their opportunity).

The key to success is building an original, content rich, keyword specific, search engine friendly web site that provides solutions to other peoples problems and more significantly...

Generates Unlimited Leads for your Business Opportunity!

There are two web development/management companies we recommend for your first step to starting a home based business:

Site Build It - Since 1997 Site Build It has been delivering E-business success!

Site Build It just doesn't help you build a site... They help you build a business.

I have personally used the service and had a tremendous amount of success. Generated lots of traffic (visitors) which in turn produced leads for my business.

I learnt most of my internet marketing skills from SBI's founder and creator Dr. Ken Evoy of whom is an internet marketing genius. 

XSite Pro Version 2.0 - If you have struggled using Dreamweaver and Frontpage in the past then XSite Pro is a superior alternative.

XSite Pro is a simple, yet powerful web design editor. You can literally build a web site in a couple of hours...  All you need to do is provide great content!

I used XSite Pro to build my web publishing business -- I highly recommend the software to all beginners as well as all experienced internet marketer's looking to build a niche content site.

XSite Pro vs Site Build It

SBI is an all in one combination of building, hosting and marketing... But more expensive. It cost $299 per year, per site hosted (SBI now offers a $29.99 monthly payment option).

If your a newbie with no webmaster skills, then I recommend SBI.

XSite Pro cost roughly the same but, because it is a design editor similar to frontpage, you can create unlimited web sites.

With XSite Pro you will need a web hosting service. 

After you choose XSite Pro (highly recommended) as your web design editor, you will next have to choose a hosting company to host your web site.

Choosing a Web Hosting Service

Like everyone else I subscribe to numerous internet marketing newsletters from some of the top internet marketing Gurus on the market today.  And of those marketing gurus most of them recommend hands down Hostgator as their number one choice for their web hosting needs.  It is web hosting made easy and affordable. 

I've been a happy Hostgator customer for over a year now.  I use their Baby Plan.  Feature's of Hostgator's Baby Plan include:

• Unlimited Domains (Unlimited Web Sites)
• Unlimited Disk Space
• Unlimited Bandwidth
• $9.95/mo 
• Excellent Customer Service and Technical Support

Choosing a Domain Name Registrar

Next we need to choose a domain name registration service.  I had been using Go Daddy, but they are too expensive.  If you are like myself an are building multiple niche web sites then you need to try to save as much money as possible.  So I switched to 1&1 for my domain name registrar needs. 

But keep in mind I only use 1&1 for domain registration only and NOT for hosting.  Only use Hostgator to host your web site or web sites.

Don't pay too much for domain names! Get $8.99 Domain + Privacy + Email + Site builder! Use this link for Special $6.99 Deal.

Product Feature's

Now that you have your web site builder (XSite Pro), hosting service (Hostgator) and domain name registrar (1&1), now you need to market and promote your business.  Let's continue on to the next page with your steps to starting a business resources and training.
