Create A Mini Website In 10 Steps Date: Saturday, January 31 @ 02:07:32 Topic Website Building Tips How to Create A Mini Website In 10 Steps The fastest and easiest path to making money o­nline is to find high demand keywords with little competition. Then create a mini website (1 or 2 pages) and upload to your web host. To create a quick and easy webpage or site these are the steps I take: I use Frontpage2000 almost exclusively. Some web designers look down o­n FP but it works for me. They like either Dreamweaver or NetFusion, which I have never used. So I can't give you my opinion. But I will say my 4+ years of using FP2000 has been a love/hate relationship I love the ease and speed you can create a page, but hate the way it adds code and has a quirky nature of the software. But overall, it does the job and if you want to see some examples I have done, go to: http://build-an-ebusiness-on-a-shoestring.com http://www.mhg-consulting.com http://www.4maximumhealth.com http://www.residualmonthlymoney.com http://www.cheap-digital-camera-guide.com Ok, I'm not that artistic but I like to keep them simple and easy to navigate. That is important as most surfers click, scan for a few seconds and either stay or click off. You need above all, CONTENT! for the visitor or the Search Engines. The steps I take to create a o­ne pager with FP2000: 1. Write the content with Notepad, Word or any text editor. 2. Open a new page in the folder (on your computer) you will store your web site. 3. Open a template. I use 10 templates I bought from Jimmy D. Brown, my favorite author. You can see them here: http://build-an-ebusiness-on-a-shoestring.com/ttg1.html 4. Copy/paste content in new page. 5. If selling something, add an order button or link. I use either Clickbank, Paypal or Regsoft.com (I like Regsoft because they accept phone and check orders, I like Clickbank because they pay every two weeks, lol) 6. Add any other links to pages, contact us, or special offers. 7. Create metatags (I use an 'instant metatag creator' I got in the software package at Free Software Forever. http://www.free-software-forever.com/sales/sale-08242002.htm) 8. Add a pop up, either entrance, exit or pop under. I know you hate 'em and I don't like a site to throw 3,4,5 in a row. But they do work, and work well if done sparingly. I use Jimmy Brown's Eyepoppin' Popups to create them. http://build-an-ebusiness-on-a-shoestring.com/epp.htm 9. Upload to your web host, using Frontpage extensions or ftp. I can use FTP but its a little more hassle.  You need to make sure your host has FP extensions available and they have activated the transfer of nameservers (DNS). 10. Voila! A brand new web page for millions to see Oh yeah, make sure all the links and order buttons work! That's it, not hard to do o­nce you have done a few hundred ! Just kidding. Don't forget to get some traffic, and I have covered that thoroughly in the last few issues.
