So, you have a website now. What next?

In the last post, I mentioned selecting a niche/market. There are a couple of ways you can do it. You can select a market based on your personal interests, but make sure there is a market for it. Or, you can select a market based on what people spend money on. Do you really care what market it is? Let's take internet marketing as an example. You may be saying to yourself, "But Jay, you idiot, everybody and their mother is in that niche!" So what, a lot of money changes hands in that niche. It is a proven market that can make you money. It really can be anything. But you must make sure you choose something that people are spending money on. I don't want to get into a long discussion about choosing your niche or your market, so I put together a zip file of Simon Hodgkinson's Niche Marketing Master Course. Just click on the image below. It comes with Master Resale Rights, so you can sell it, give it away as an incentive for your website visitors to give you their name and email address which, by the way, is what you want more than anything. (We'll talk about that real soon.)

Enjoy this amazing resource. Don't let it go to waste. Read every word in the book. It has some extremely powerful and useful information!

All the best,

So How and Where Do I Get Started?

You may be asking yourself the above question. I did too. The first thing that Mike Filsaime told me to do was to read his ebook titled Carbon Copy Marketing and watch the 41 videos that came along with the book. He created that ebook and video series as a blueprint and exact replica of how he made $5045 each and every month. He obviously makes a whole lot more now, but he started from zero just like me and you. You don't have to take my advice and read his book and watch his 41 videos that go into great detail on how to make money online. I did and it has made all the difference.

Now that we got that out of the way. The first thing you need to do is figure out exactly which niche, or market, you want to target. Then you definitely want to register a domain name. I use GoDaddy for all of my domain names and hosting. You can also use Kiosk.ws or Host 4 Profit. Host 4 Profit is kind of pricey, but they offer a reseller/affiliate program with a generous payout to make up for their high prices. They are not the only ones, though. Just type in domain names or website hosting in Google and a whole bunch of different service providers will show up. They all pretty much charge the same price. It's only around $10/year to have a domain name. And for a couple of extra dollars you can have it private so nobody can do a who's who and get your info to spam you.

Now the domain name you want to choose is up to you. I registered JasonDinner.com as my first site. I recommend you register yourname.com because it is good for branding. How crappy would you feel if you started making some real money online, but didn't have yourname.com because you thought you wouldn't need it, and someone else registered it because they knew it would rank high in the search engines? Just do it! Make it a home page for all of your other sites.
Well that's it for now. I kind of covered the basics. I will get into the meat and potatoes next post. Until then, enjoy your day.
