Internet Connection - Do you have a reliable connection? It's a good idea to have a back-up on hand, in case your primary service is busy or down. Many times, the provider's network status is online, so if you can't seem to sign-on, the only way to find out what's going on is to go to their site. Doesn't make sense, but it's true. I've listed some companies providing free and almost-free internet connection.
Step 1.
Register a Domain Name - If you haven't registered your domain name yet, do it NOW... before your competitor takes it! Having your own domain name adds credibility, exclusivity, and most of all, it's a simple, but effective form of advertising!
Step 2.
Get a Reliable Web Host - Afterall, what good is having the most effective site on the net, if your web host is down? Choose a company who offers feature-packed hosting packages at a good price! Many companies offer a guarantee of 99% uptime.
Step 3.
Web Design - Your website is your online billboard, storefront, and/or catalog. You can do it yourself, purchase a ready-made design, or hire a web designer... "First Impressions" matter!
Step 4.
Content is King! - What are your visitors interested in? There are countless information on the internet, but it's still difficult to find any QUALITY information. Here's your chance to be a super star!
Step 5.
Add META-TAGS to Your Pages - Meta-Tags can improve your site's relevancy in the results of robot-driven Search Engines. This alone won't get you ranked at the top, but it'll help you out if done properly.
Step 6.
Check Your Links - FREE 100 page link check! Ugh, those annoying broken links. It's almost inevitable, but keeping it to a minimum is quite easy. For cryin' out loud...you've aroused your visitor's curiosity enough to make him click, so don't drop the ball there!
Step 7.
Reduce Graphic Size Even with the ever growing popularity of super fast internet connection, many are still 28.8 riders. Put your graphics on a diet and make your site a lean, mean, selling machine!
Step 8.
Promote Your Site! - Visitors can't flock to your site if they don't know you exist, so make your site easy to find. URL Submissions, Ezines Advertising, Link & Banner Exchanges, and Online Classifieds!
Step 9.
Analyze Your Position - You realize that you're not the only one aggressively promoting your business online. Stay ahead of your competition by maintaining your top rank status.
Step 10.
Repeat Steps 3 through 9 on a regular basis!
