How To Create a Website For Beginners

Having your own website is an essential component of making money online. But contrary to what most people might say, you do not need to know complex html code in order to build your own site. In fact, if you have a good website building software, then the process becomes very easy.

You might have been thinking about outsourcing your website building, but be aware that it can be very costly. For most internet marketers, I don't think outsourcing the job is really necessary. You can build your own website at a fraction of the cost - which more often than not will actually convert better than what a web designer might produce for you.

If you get a good website builder, then all you will need to do is just drag and drop your content. The website builder I use is completely free for anyone to download. In fact, it has everything you would need for your site including a variety of templates, photo and video capabilities etc. The best feature is that anyone can use it, and you don't need to deal with html or any other complicated code.

Once you design your site on a website builder, then all that's left is to buy a domain name and choose a hosting service. This can all be done at a very low cost. Once you have your website builder, domain name and hosting service, you're all set to go. At that point it's just about making sure you have good content on your site, and then optimizing your site for the search engines. For internet marketers, websites are especially useful as a “squeeze page” or a site where your prospects can leave you their contact information. When you have a squeeze page, then you can build your list of prospects. This list will act as your main revenue source for your business. Without a website, you can't really capture information or build a list, which doesn't really leave you with much. Learning how to create a website for beginners is easy if you have the right software.

The free website builder I've been using is Blue Voda: Blue Voda Website Builder. The website builder is completely free, so you should definitely take a look. As for hosting on Blue Voda, I pay $7.95/month in addition to a one time activation fee of $30.
