Cheapest way to start a site with NO experience?

blogger about internet marketing, making money

Try 2.0 sites if you like...if you want total control register your own name..but use some coupons so that you dont pay retail on hosting and registration.

Don't worry about experience, just find a niche that you KNOW something about. At the end of the day, the content will help with the traffic and site growth

Here is a good tip. Grab a domain - I think you can get a .us or .org for really cheap. Then look up 'host gator 1 cent coupon code' and get your domain hosted for a penny for the first month. I used my Paypal account to do this - it was very simple. You can then set up a Word Press Blog and go to town.
My advice would be to choose a niche such as free software and build your blog. Word Press has so many themes and plugins that it there is no excuse not to make any money. Do research and try to chat with people in these types of forums and you will get some killer information. If you really want it bad enough, you will achieve what ever you can imagine you will. I met a guy in this forum who made close to 300,000 last year. It's amazing how many opportunities there are to make money online.
Once you get going and find something that works for you - replicate it and then...out source the many little tasks that take up so much time. This is what I imagine all of the big $$ folks do, at least the one's I've chatted with. Good luck.

If you only want to open it for your passion , not for money making ..
Then you can open a blog in blogger and post your interesting things there ..

there's always a free solution. register a .tk domain for free.. and pm me for a free great hosting solution ... .sry .. i can't post the link of it because i got an error.. saying that i am not old enough to can post links ... but i am member sience 2008 .. i just didn't post .. so maybe that's why

Please let me help you in hopes to reap reward from Allah:

1. First, learn about on-site SEO.
- http://www.seomoz.org/blog/perfecting-keyword-targeting-on-page-optimization

2. Keyword research for your exact match domain:
- Check out Keywordn-i-n-j-a (the n-word is blocked out from BHW, IDK why...). KWNja is a Google keyword scraper (different from adwords.google.com Google KW Tool)
- Please learn how to use KWN and find a lot of KW's (like 500...)
- For your root keyword, if you want to use CPA, use something like "free download" or just "download" or something like that...
- If adsense, just use something you are really familiar with. Like if you like PS3 just use Playstation 3.
4. Copy the list of KW's in the CSV file KWNja spits out and paste all of those words into a txt file to strip out everything but the words and paste [just the plain txt] into Google KW Tool (learn what this is man!!)
5. Find all of the KW's that are above 2000 [EXACT LOCAL] searches
- Add filters for "[NOT] > 15000" LOCAL and "[NOT] < 2000" LOCAL
- Sort the KW's by local searches (big on top -> small on bottom) and export from Google KW Tool (find the little 'Download' button) to a PLAIN CSV (not microsoft csv, though it really isn't that big of a deal).
6. extract all of the good KW's to check for Exact Match Domains.
- Highlight all of the good KW's from the CSV file you just extracted from Google KW Tool and export them to a txt file (name it so you know what it is! I just name it "EMD-CHECK-[ROOTWORDHERE]" w/o the bracket's)
- Please find a bulk domain checker like name cheap's bulk domain checker (Know what this is man!)
- check for all available .com's
- some people like .net's and even .org's but I think it's tacky. Whenever I visit an online shop that ends with a .net or .org I am prejudice against them like they can't afford a .com lol.
- Export the available Exact Match Domains (EMD's) to a Txt file (I usually have to copy the whole bloody page and then just manually edit in a txt file)
7. Check competition
- Find a way to check PR (the higher the number, the higher the quality of the backlinks to the page). This is the easiest way to check competition. This is all I really check when I do competition research. If there is two 0's in the top five result's, it is an easy KW for a noob (like me...)
- I don't look at amount of backlinks because first it's not accurate most of the time and second you can build just as many quality links as the other guy has if given the same amount of time.
- The only other thing I would consider is if he has an EMD then he might be like a total baller at SEO and own you. I have never encountered this.
8. Export the low competition, > 2000 exact local search EMD's to a txt file
- out of a list of like 500, you might find like 10 EMD's.
- out of a list of like 10 EMD's, you might weed out irrelevant ones such as warez, porn, illegal stuff, and bad kw's that you can't make an article out of (like abbreviations and stuff) and end up with like 3 good ones.
9. buy your domain with name cheap. it's the best registrar ever. even if they're more expensive.
10. ok, now research wordpress.
- how to install it into your host via ftp
- how to install plugins
- the best plugins to install, especially an SEO plugin that lets you modify Meta Data (you read SEOMoz on-site SEO tutorial right?)
- also, a theme! the best to use that's free is mystique (http://digitalnature.eu/themes/mystique/)
- also, another important thing is the static homepage option so that your site can look like an actual site instead of a blog. just leave the blog page blank if you don't have one (leave it default, you don't need to specify a page for it!)
- research how to add menu's. also, a tip is to uncheck "auto add new pages" to menus so you can specify which links you want.
11. find a host
- you can use a freehost like agilehost so you can get the hang of cpanel. it helped me a lot to use a free host with cpanel to learn cpanel when I switched over to Hawk Host, my current paid host.
- watch out for "discount" hosts like hostbig! they suck! Balls! (downtime, slow speed, support)

Now install wordpress and activate the theme, change the settings you want (you researched every option in youtube right?), delete the default pages and posts, add a page titled [insert keyword here] (you read the seo guide right?) and make it your static homepage, add a "home" link that is seo'd, write seo'd content, post it, and your done.

research how to write seo content
- look at sample articles of content writers that are in the Buy Sell and Trade section in BHW.

uhh... that's about as far as i've gotten myself. I don't have any content atm. But, I have also researched off-site seo too, so that's something to consider; though I don't think it is as important as getting the actual site up and running. you can just have the site idle while you spend a couple of weeks trying to research off-site seo. just on-site seo is important for now, which is all contained in the guide.

I think that's it. Someone clean this post up and repost please!

Blogspot and weebly is a good way to start. Hard to make a good website without spending money tho.

If you want totally free, just grab a wordpress blog on the wordpress site.

If you want your own domain, grab a cheap one from 1and1 and ask around to get hosted on someone here's hosting network (many have extra room they'd be willing to trade for services or jsut give for free)

I got two free domains from .co.cc

If you want to start site in the cheapest way, Blogger and Wordpress are provide free service so you can start with blogging, after create a blogger site ,we can convert or Purchase like .com and other domain.
The following step are :-
1) Make Blog or wordpress
2) Daily update
3) Promotion
4) Get more Traffic
