My recommendation on starting your website building Business.

Start by buying Niche Horde.  Get yourself three good niches to work on.  You will want at least ten related keywords to build pages on in each of your niches.  Niche Horde will explain what good keywords are and how to find them.  You will also be able to use Niche Horde to pick your related keywords.

Register your first domain and buy Hosting.  I like both Bluehost and Hostmonster because you can build 100 WordPress websites on either of these with just one hosting account.  You need to have one MySQL database per WordPress site.  I believe you will pay between six and 8 dollars a month.  You get a lot better deal if you buy in advance for one or two years.

Install WordPress on your first Domain

WordPress is a very simple website and blog building software.  It is loved by Google because the navigation is simple and the whole system is set up to be very easy to use.  No HTML, CSS, or programming  knowledge necessary.  I won’t go into detail on how to install WordPress on your Domain because your Web Host will often have a video on how to do it.  The first time is a little bit confusing but you can be on the phone to your web host and they will walk you step by step through it.  It normally takes me less than ten minutes to set up a new Website with WordPress.

Start Building Pages

Build all of your pages with 300 to 600 words. It is very easy building pages on your site.  Writing articles is pretty simple, one way is to go to Ezine Articles and read articles on the same subject.  Then start writing.  Do not copy.  If you read three different articles on your topic you should be able to talk about your topic for 400 words.  While reading the articles you can type down ideas for titles for paragraphs.

SEO

SEO is short for Search Engine Optimization.  There are two types of SEO, on page and off page. On page SEO is just what you can do to the page as you build it to make it friendly to Google and the other search engines.

On Page SEO

On Page Search Engine Optimization is quite simple.  You want to have 2% to 5% of the words on the page be your page keywords.  As you are building your page WordPress will tell you how many words are on the page right below the window you are writing in.  If you are shooting for 3% and your page has 500 words then your keyword needs to be on the page 15 times 3% x 5 = 15.  Do not over do it.  Keep your articles making sense.

Put your keyword int the title of the page.

Put your keyword in at least one paragraph title.  My writing style is to title most paragraphs and then write two to three sentences per paragraph.  Leave space between paragraphs.

If you have a picture on the page put your keyword in the alt”" text for the picture.

Have a link going to a different page that has your keyword in it.

Off Page SEO

Basically this is getting links pointed at your page from other websites.  Until you get several pages up, do not worry about this.  Build the site then promote the site.

The goal of earning a good living from building websites is easily reachable.  It took me a little over two years.

What If you get Hung up?
Most people get hung up on one of the things they have to do to build websites that get traffic and make money.  Finding niches is the first hang up then writing articles scares a lot of people, then how do I get links and get my website ranked is another fear.

Jonathan has built software for each of your problems.

For finding niches easily  Niche Horde
For researching and building pages easily   Answer Analyst
For building links both One Way Links and Three Way Links are extremely powerful.

Where should you start?

He started building software to solve his own problems.  He wanted a simple way to build links to his pages so he built a network of sites and the Three Way links program.  This way he could build or have websites built and simply put the site in his system and not worry about building links.

He wanted an easier way to get the knowledge needed to research writing pages and he built Answer Analyst.

And now for all of us that have difficulty finding a niche to work on he has just released one of his largest programs Niche Horde.  This program has  a lot of features. You put in a potential keyword and the program goes to work.  It will research the keyword and build a list of related keywords.  Then the software reporst back to you with the traffic, approximate cost per click, and how competitive the keyword probably is to rank.  This is the Niche Horde SOC.

Niche Horde SOC

What is the SOC mean in the Niche Hoard Results?  It is a simple evaluation of the competition for the number one spot in a google search for your keyword.  Rather than take the gross number that shows up when you search in Google for the keyword the SOC is the number of web pages that have a link to them with the keyword in the Anchor Text.

Anchor Text
Anchor text is the words that are highlighted in blue when you are reading a web page. If these links have the keyword in the link they are very powerful in telling Google what the page is about. For instance in this sentence Niche Horde is a link to more information about Niche Horde and is the anchor text of the link.
