How To Choose A Website Topic

Domain Name Website Registration And Website Hosting

Want to Make Money Online?

If your goal is to make money online with your site then I always recommend the simple approach.

You might want to create the next YouTube, but some of these really popular sites have some serious programming behind them. Rather than hiring someone to build the website for you, I would recommend doing a search on Google for keywords like "youtube software" or "youtube clone".

Just pick the website you want to emulate and most likely someone else has built a website very similar. Plus you will save a ton of money in start up costs.

So all you do is buy it, have it installed by the web developer and then start promoting it. The items you would need prior to getting started is a "domain name" and "website hosting". I would recommend that if you are wanting to compete with the top traffic websites out there you consider the "deluxe or unlimited hosting plan" since these type of websites get a ton of traffic.

Another option for you might just be a website about your business. Let's say that you are a Realtor and you need a website to promote your listings. You have a few options here. You can either build the website yourself with a template program called "Website Tonight" that we offer. Or if you have your own website builder software like Dreamweaver, then all you need is a domain name and hosting. For more information on this, go here. But maybe you are too busy to spend the time learning and doing it yourself. Then you may want to consider having us design the website for you. Let us talk with you about your goals and we will customize a website for you.

Finally another option for some of you may be that you want to set up your own blog. A blog is a website where you can talk about your favorite topics. Kind of like your own personal newspaper.

You type out your thoughts and people can respond with comments. Blogs can generate great traffic and you can even make money with them if you place ads (i.e. Google Adsense) on the margins of your blog. PerezHilton.com sold his blog recently for millions.

There are 2 options for creating a blog with us.

1) Use our Quick Blog software - all you need is a domain name for your blog.

2) Use Wordpress - wordpress is one of the most popular blog software programs on the internet. It's free to download and use, but if you want to tie it to your domain name, then all you have to do is order hosting. Then use our 1 click quick install option to make sure you install it correctly the first time. Our installation will save you hours of time trying to figure it out yourself.

3) If you already have a blog with blogspot or typepad, then you can just "forward" your domain name to your blog. Then if anyone types your domain name into their internet browsers address bar, your blog will show up. You may want to also use "masking" too. Call us if questions on forwarding.

Not Sure What Topic is Best?

Many people ask us "What is the best topic" for a website. That is a hard question. Some websites do extremely well, while others just do ok. Marketing is key to being successful.

Here are a few recommendations that seem to work for people:

1. Making Money Online - I would making sure you really target your traffic. I can bring 25,000 people through a website a day, but the quality of the traffic is a key. If those visitors don't take the time to read my site or click on links, then I don't make any money. But if I have a website about children's clothes and the people that visit my site are new mothers, then my chances of making a sale increase tremendously.

2. Promoting You Business - If just promoting your business is important to you and you are looking for customers in your city. I would register a domain name, either order hosting or use our Website Tonight template builder to create a website. For more information on what you need to get started, click here. Then I would run ads on Google thru their Adwords advertising program.

3. Blog - If you want to just have a website about a topic you have an interest in, then create a blog. Type in your thoughts, beliefs and ideas and let others share their comments. Make sure you set up RSS feeds. This will help bring return visitors to your website. The only thing you need to set up a blog is to register a domain name (aka www.myblog.com). Read the paragraph a little higher for more options on blogs. Or call us now.

Why is Topic Choice So Important?

One thing to be aware of is that websites that do well online are websites that have their own creative topic. There must be enough content that people will want to return. It must be informative and add value.

Building an instant audience does not occur overnight. As you start developing your website, questions will arise and learning how to solve problems will help you grow tremendiously.

Make sure you work on a topic that you find interesting. If you work on a topic that is boring to you, then chances are you won't spend time on it. Pick a topic that you know a lot of people have an interest in.

We will be adding more content over the next few weeks. If you want to see other topics we have written about, please scroll up to the top left corner of this page.
