Website for Less Than $40.00!!

Did my headline grab your attention? I know your thought is really how much is this going to cost me? I am going to go through all of the costs and break it down for you. Yes, you can start out for less than $40.00!!

Starting out isn’t as difficult as you may think. So how did I go about it and how do you do the same thing?

Find Your Niche
Determine what you want to do. Do you have something in mind or a product that you already have? Maybe you have a service or plan to do drop shipping.

Find Your Keywords
Use keywords that describe your niche with this free tool: http://adwords.google.com/select/keywordToolExternal.
From there you can find the Approx Avg Search Volume. Use that header to search Google and determine a success potential ratio for your keywords. You want to concentrate on the highest ratio.

Establish Your Domain
I used GoDaddy. They have a great plan and building web pages is a breeze. Now you may only want to register a domain depending upon what your final plan is. I recommend developing your website and also going further along with other techniques which I will mention later.

Use your keywords and create a catchy domain name. Go for a .com, .net, or a .info. With GoDaddy the domain name is $9.99 or less and the website is $4.49. The hosting is included.

Selling Products
Many places where you set up your website allows a shopping area for you potential clients to purchase your wares. Here is where you will add your product pictures and descriptions. There you can determine how they will be delivered and the payment options.

Once again with plan that I have, the process went very smoothly. Setting up my shopping area went quickly and they set up PayPal for you. The cost for this is $9.49.

Blogs
I recommend going with Word Press Blog This is free and Google loves blogs. Install Free Word Press plug in “All in One SEO Pack” by Michael Torbert. You can host your own blog at Wordpress.

There are more options to add which can increase your total but start out with the basics and get your feet wet. In most cases this will be all that you need. If not, you can always add on.

See that wasn’t that hard, was it?
