Many beginners learning how to build a home based business web site made a mistake here. They went ahead to register a domain name, either paid or free, before completing the first 2 steps.
Own your domain
- Building your home based business web site with free hosting is just like building a beautiful house on other people's land. You must make sure that you own the very domain and it is registered in your name. Remember a house that built on other people's land does not belong to you!
So, do not build a home based business web site on free domain or hosting.

I find its price is really value for money. Comparing with some big names like Yahoo!, VeriSign and bCentral, Site Build It! is way ahead in terms of features and benefits and at a lower price!

5. Choose your website Look and Feel design. An appropriate site Look and Feel with well planned navigation bars help to encourage your visitors to stay longer and eager to explore your home based business web site.
This is important as your visitors must feel very comfortable and want to stay longer. It means he/she will discover what you have in stall for him/her. Thus surprise him/her by OVERdeliver what he/she expect.

Start your homepage with a main theme (Tier-1)
Branch out to sub-themes: 5 - 7 (Tier-2)
Build 5-10 pages for each Tier-sub themes.
Your home based business web site will have a bout 50-70 pages if you plan in this way.
7. Build your web pagesYour home based business web site must provide quality content which is relevant and OVER Deliver what your visitors are looking for.
You give what people want. And OVER delivers it. They are turned on and open to buy when you recommend your services or products.
I recommend that you read Dr Ken Evoy's Make Your Site Sell ebook. A must for every online marketer or anyone want to learn how to build a website. Grab it. It is FREE now (was sold at USD9.90).
Trust me, he spent his valuable time for more than 3 month writting about his experience in building successful web pages that turn the visitor to a warm and open-to-buy customer. He summarise it in a word called PREselling.
Optimise your page for major search engine for each of your keyword.
Tips on how to build more web pages: - You can write the web pages yourself. For beginners, I encourage you to write your own pages. The web pages is about your first hand experience. Consider this as a practical tutorial for yourself while learning how to build a website.
You can find and search the web for ideas and inspiration. Do further research and blend in your experience, write unique pages for your visitors.
- You can pay and get others to write for you. Especially for certain topics which you may find it challenging to write it yourself.
- Buy Private Label article and rewrite them yourself. I suggest this to only more season website owners.
8. Submit your web pages to search engine. Each time you build a new page, submit it to search engines.
Consider the three main Search Engines.
9. Submit your site to major directories and niche directory. After you have build about 20-25 pages, submit your home based business web site to second tier directories and some niche and hub directory.
Why I omit the major directories at this point of time? The major directories are too 'crowded'. You may have to wait very long to get listed there. Instead of wasting effort there, put your effort to get your website listed in second tier directories. Your site will get listed faster. That's it.
10. Monitor your web pages status and in Search Engine listing.
11. Build links to your web pages. The more web sites link to your site, your site will appear more important to search engines (for example: Google term this as Page Rank or PR in short). When everything else is equal, a site with a higher page rank will be appear first in the search engine.
12. Create more Keyword Focused web pages.
13. Monitor your website ranking in Google.
14. Monitor your website traffic statistic at Alexa.
If you have nothing to sell, step 15 and 16 will help you to create some income.
15. Build affiliate links, if your income option is to promote other people's products and services.
Go to our home business space page to look for example of home based affiliate links.
16. Create Adsense ads into your page.
