What’s that ? Read on.....
How To Build A Website : Step 1
The very first step we took in making a website was to purchase a very affordable software program that costs $25/month called Site Build It! or SBI. You can learn all about Site Build It here:
How To Build A Website : Step 2
The next thing we needed to do was decide what we wanted our site to be about. The software helped us to decide what our topic and domain name would be.
All of the tools for this process were included in the price of SBI. All we had to do was use our brains and supply the motivation to make it all work.
Do you have some brains and motivation? Be honest. About the brains I mean. Just kidding. Read on.....
Some of the tools helped us to determine the profitability of keywords we wanted to use on our site or in our domain name.
This was a balance between finding out how many people are looking for what we wanted to write about on the internet, and how many people are supplying this information to them.
SBI helped us to determine that the topic of Immune Health Solutions was a profitable topic, and since it was a topic that we loved, knew a lot about, and were passionate about, we were off and running!
The domain was registered, price included in the course as always, and then SBI helped us with the next step:
How To Build a Website : Step 3
The next step for making a website was to write content.
That’s the “C” in the formula.
If you follow the process, you have chosen a topic you know well and love.
Again, SBI’s included tools helped us to choose the most profitable words to write about. They even helped us with tips about writing and provided a network of support among SBI users within the forums.
Why is this important? For the next step, which is :
How To Build A Website : Step 4
TRAFFIC.
That’s the “T” in the formula. Your business lives or dies by the traffic it gets. Think of a brick and mortar store. If no customers come in, you have no business.
On a website, the only way people land on your page is if you give them your address directly, or you come up in search results.
Believe me, it is much easier to just come up in the search results. But how?
When you type in a term at google, like “how to build a website”, a results page comes up.
Look at the example in the picture below. Do you see how the page is divided into a right and left side?
The results on the right side of the page are paid for, and the ones on the left side of the page are free. That's called free website traffic.
I am a little partial, but I really, really like the left side of the page, especially the top of it.
How would you like your site to come up there?
We thought so. So did we.
You can pay to come up in the pay per click side, or you can get free website traffic from the search engines on the left side of the page.
Or you can do both if you know what to do, and want to.
SBI shows you how to have your site come up on the left side of the page, called organic search results, that are completely FREE, and once you start coming up there, it just keeps coming.
Now don't get me wrong. If you really know what you are doing, you can make money using pay-per-click. There are two drawbacks in my humble opinion for using this approach for how to build a website and drive traffic to it.
IF you don't know what you are doing, you can lose A LOT of money very quickly.
When you run out of money or stop paying for this, your traffic goes away. And so does your source of income.
Not so with organic traffic. Once it starts, it just keeps building, whether you are working at it or not. As long as there are people searching for what you have written, you will have free website traffic. And it costs you nothing.
What brings the free website traffic? Excellent content that you have written about the subject you know, are passionate about, and have written with profitable keywords that your visitors are searching for.
You could call well written websites that get free search engine traffic search engine websites.
Know why I put that last sentence in there? Because people are searching for the term “search engine websites” and I want to be found by them!
And also if people are searching for this term, you may be one of them, and I want to give you the information you are looking for.
In fact have you noticed how I keep repeating “how to build a website” in all of my headings?
Ah, you are catching on.
This is another skill you will learn on SBI in order to make the search engines happy. They bring your site up to more and more people, which is the free website traffic you are looking for.
But that is not all. If you know about website SEO, or Search Engine Optimization, well this is not all about SEO. This isn’t going to be one of those search engine websites.
It will be a human and search engine website.
Of course, you must write to please the search engines, but you must also please people, your human visitors. The search engine's job is to make the visitors (searchers) happy, so ultimately you have to win people, one at a time.
When you found me, if it was as a result of a web search, you were probably looking for the best advice for how to build a website.
And hopefully you found just what you were looking for. And that is the basic foundation of SBI.
And people, your visitors, your traffic, want great quality information that you are going to give them - for free! At least for now.
Ok , we have now covered the C and T of the formula.
Write Great Content = Free Website Traffic to your site.
What’s next?
How To Build A Website : Step 5
The next step in how to make a website is Pre-Sell your warm targeted customers with great quality information.
Pre-selling is the P!
Write in such a way that makes them want to click to learn more.
Give them what they came to find - great quality relevant information that makes you the expert in your field. This will give you one of the best websites in the world!
As you read through the pages of our website, can you see our personal passion and knowledge for our subject? You can do the same, on any topic you wish!
People buy from who they know, like, and trust - and SBI will teach you to write in a way that people will come to feel that way by reading your great information on your website.
What happens after the Pre-Sell? I know you were waiting for this one, which many make the fatal mistake of doing WAY too soon...................
How To Build A Website : Step 6
Have you ever gone on the internet searching for something, and you landed on a page that was so full of advertisements that you couldn’t get off the page fast enough?
That’s NOT going to happen to you. Because you will put the money last.
Yup. Last.
The last step for creating a website that makes you money is to Monetize.
Ah, the last step in the formula for how to build a website that makes money.
That’s the “M”.
Show me the money!
Maybe you want to make a website for other reasons, but if you are like most people, you are looking for how to build a website because you want to make money at it.
Even if you don't need it, a little extra can't hurt, right?
Once you have chosen a profitable domain and keywords, and you have written several pages of quality content, you will start seeing free website traffic show up on your site every day.
And the numbers will grow every day. It is happening for us right now.
Monetization is where it all ends up, and SBI gives you many different ways you can make money with your site once you have all of these key factors in place.
You can sell hard goods, information, reports, or you can just refer them to others and earn an affiliate income. The monetization mix is all up to you, and the sky’s the limit.
OK - now we have it!
SBI = Content - Traffic - Pre-Sell - Monetize
SBI = How To Build A Website That Makes Money
That’s the formula for creating a website that is successful!
Is there anything else you might need? If you are like us, you might need someone to hold your hand along the way, which leads us to....
How To Build A Website : Find A Coach To Help You Through
When you first decide you want to know how to build a website, you may be like us, with no prior experience, and a little scared of it all.
We're telling you how to build a website that makes you money.
And it all makes sense to you.
But what if you can’t do it? What if it is too hard? What if it doesn’t work?
That’s where a coach comes in.
We were just getting started, and a little nervous about the whole thing, when we found a coach that gave us the reassurance we needed.
His name is Brian and he is our "guru in our back pocket."
Our own little personal "SBI Professor."
Site Build It is actually a college course taught at universities for how to build a website that succeeds.
This is because it is a very successful business model for how to build a website that makes money.
And Brian teaches it. Very well I might add.
Brian gave us the confidence to say, yes we can do this, and if we get stuck, we have someone to help us along the way.
Together we will build a website that will succeed!
And that's how our partnership began.
And he can help you too. He customizes his coaching to your needs from minimal help all the way up to building your site for you. It's your call.
SBI can be done with or without a coach, it's completely up to you. And SBI sites delivers the free website traffic you are looking for, consistently coming up in the top 1% of organic search results.
For FREE.
Every day. 24/7.
Don't believe us?
Brian can show you searches right now that bring his site up in the #1 spot. He has been at this a lot longer than I have, so I am still working towards this, and I have searches where my site comes up on the first page.
We can show you this all day long. Right now.
And in our case, we have only been writing on our site for about two months now!
And our website is already in the top 1% of all websites as measured by our Alexa Ratings.
What's Alexa? They rate all websites out there on the web against one another. Google is number 1, so the lower your number, the better.
It's like a value rating for your website.
Estimates vary between 100 and 150 Million websites out there. So if you are under 1 million, you are in the top 1%.
I was able to download a "widget" to show you my Alexa rating in real time. Here it is:
We are well under 1 million and dropping!
Which is good! Sites over 1 million generally do not have supportable traffic coming to them. After three months of writing content full time on my SBI site, I had 1,000 free, unique, targeted visitors in the month of August 2009. And that is just the beginning. Now, as of April 2010, I have over 7,000 visitors a month and still growing - I'm just getting started!
Have you known someone who said it is next to impossible to make money on the internet?
Well, now you understand why 99% of websites out there do not have the traffic they need to succeed.
And you now have the secret to be part of the 1% that does succeed.
Now, if you already have a website, go ahead and find out your Alexa rating here too.
Or if someone that wants to build a site for you has their own successful site, go ahead and type in their domain too.
See what their Alexa rating is, and then ask them how much they pay for the traffic they are getting.
That will roughly be the amount of money you will need to spend on your website to get similar results.
You decide if that is a good deal or not.
I will still be right here...
Now those are measurable results! And we are not done yet.
Just ask us about our search results and we will show you what's coming up number one for us.
There's nothing like "Show me the results!" to track if what we are telling you really works or not.
