1. Buy a domain name for your website i.e. www.doginfo.com. It should cost like $10 a year. We use www.nutmegaweb.com. Try to buy a .com website because this is the most common domain. If you purchase www.doginfo.net because www.doginfo.com was taken then you’re just going to help the guy who owns the .com make money. If you have a great domain name, then you can purchase all the name in .com, .net, .org, etc. and have them forward to your main .com domain.
2. Buy web hosting. You need web hosting to upload your HTML files, images, etc. so people can see your content. It’s like $3-4 a month. Again we use www.nutmegaweb.com. Don’t get tricked into using free web hosting, they tend to just load your website with a bunch of their ads and they (not you!) make money off of your website and your hard work.
3. Design a website - Hire a website designer to design a professional site or try to design your own website.
Website Design Options
A. Hire a professional website design company – I recommend this option because if you don’t, you’ll spend lots of time learning how to design websites and no time making money. By the time you learn how to design a website, you’ll be over your great idea and ready to sell your website design skills.
B. Buy a website template – If you want a professional site but can’t afford a custom made website, you can purchase a website template for $50-100 and hire a website designer to set it up for you and just pay 1-3 hours for their time setting it up.
C. Get a Free Blog – If you’re making a blog, you can use Blogger or WordPress to publish your website. They’re really simple to use, there is no designing involved They come with templates and do not require any website design skills. You’ll be writing and uploading content in 15 minutes or less. These sites come with a free URL and hosting too. The downside is that they end in their site names i.e. www.doginfo.blogspot.com or www.doginfo.wordpress.com. I would recommend that you purchase the .com and set it up so that your blog uses your .com URL and you can still take advantage of the easy-to-use features on these sites.
