Site Build It!

If you are thinking of hiring a web designer - make sure they know how to get your website found or in other words get you clients (or sell your e-book or sell your product or whatever you are doing online.) Most do not have a clue and they won't even tell you that you need to do something to get found.

Some of the things you need to do consider if you are thinking about creating a website is:

Develop a Site Concept - There are some great tools to help you brainstorm a concept for your website that will help make it more than a hobby.

Choosing a Webhost -Who will host your site? What comes with your hosting?

Choosing Your Domain -How do you pick the best domain name for your site? The best domain name is not necessarily your business name.

Building Traffic -What do you need to do to get found by the search engines and get to the top of the results?

Some traffic building strategies include:
