Guide to setting up your first website - step by step for extreme nobbies

Hi,

that's clear and explicit but I'm quite skeptical about such a thread on bhw ...

However, I've nothing against @davids355, and to be honest that should have been a long job to write such a thread and I also guess the intention is to help the community so I'm respectful about that, BUT as this is a mod's thread I'm quite disappointed (Let's be honest : bhw mods are really valuable for our community but I was expecting much more from a mod thread while I don't want to seem disrepectful).

I'm replying as the thread seems relevant for the community and honestly I'm not feeling great to see such reactions from the BHW community ...
EDIT : and reading the comments posted above sorry but this just seems ballsucking from my pov ... I'm not denying op but basically 65% of bhw community could have been writing this kind of thread ....

I don't think my pov is kind of proselytist but I guess it 'll seem ... That's not the point and op thread title was explicit but it is far from what I expected ...

Let me expose what I think : many sites (and ALL webhosts) are providing this kind of content for noobies (and that's great and helpfull ) ... But I'm just wondering if this kind of thread is relevant regarding bhw community :
- It is just a spoonfeeding thread for me (once again nothing against op) designed for noobies ...
- BUT what will be op next thread (If there's another following this one) : a spoonfeeding thread about his real money making methods or golden nuggets ? I guess not (I might be wrong and if this is the case, shame on me) ... If I'm right what is the real value of such a thread ...

Bhw is a great ressource, but globally , only the basics are shared and it's up to all of us to read between the lines and find twists that make the difference ... The total opposite of spoonfeeding ...

I'm not willing to turn this thread into a drama, once again nothing personal in my answer, and I don't want to be seen as a party pooper ...

But if this is just a "build your own wordpress website" thread, and, once again, I feel disappointed ... BHW is FULL of thread where members (who can clearly build their own WP websites or setup plugins) are struggling with the making money part ... So I'm just wondering if this a good move to help the part of the community starting from the rock bottom ... Sorry but in my POV if you can't set up a WordPress (IE : You haven't even been reading the basic tutorials everyone can find on the web) why are you on bhw ... For me setting up a WordPress is just the base and it's far far away from making money ...

That's just my pov and to be honest I'm quite like a disonaurus missing the old threads talking about methods ...

Just my 2 cents and sorry if you feel I'm an asshole :)

you’re pretty good at writing and I see you’re into amazon affiliate sites and by the sounds of it you’re earning something from them as well.

Why not publish a guide here yourself?

Ahaha clever answer @davids355 (wasn't expecting less from a mod) thank you for that !

First I won't post anything about my amazon business on bhw as :
- as I told in my post, I guess bhw is here to give the basics and not the twists (It's up to all of us to find what works or not)
- I don't want to write on the basics as @hekke wrote what almost everyone should know about an amazon business (and clearly that was a great source of inspiration for me) : I'll never be as consistent as he did ! And If I could, I'd give him an honest hug :)
- Third : My english is so bad that no one would understand would understand my thought :D
But thanks for your investigations on my business :)

Second and to be clear :
- I'm not seeking any conflict with you, I guess you've been doing things honestly and without expecting anything in return ... We don't know each others and I don't have any reason to be mean with you
- I was just giving my honest point of view regarding our community, even if being critical might be seen as an offense even if it's not ...
- And yes, I admit I've never been posting any "valuable thread" on bhw (my bad - but I also admit I might not be able to be better than many genius of bhw who wrote genuine threads so I feel better to avoid posting shitty threads - while I've been posting some xD , but the less is the better- )

I guess you took my post as an offense : sorry this was not my aim, this was just a constructive criticism in my pov ... English is not my native language and apart from bhw I'm never practizing it so I might seem
condescending while writing ... I don't really know but if this is the case let me know ...
 
I am aware that this is not the topic of the thread, however I can't help but to ask.
This host, guru.co.uk, that you are using in your guide, they say that their DCs are based in the UK, which is fine, however wouldn't that affect the performance of US viewers?
I am asking as I would actually like to use this host, their services appear to be adequate, on paper of course, but this is definitely a concern for me. @davids355

Oh and, thanks for the guide! If it is all good for the US audience, I would be following it and I can report my experience.

Probably better in theory to have a US host if most of your visitors are in the US. I only used Guru as an example, seeing as I am in the UK.

Having said that, I think its less of a factor than many others - The difference in speed due to geographic location is most definitely negledgable compared to an under powered host or a website that hasnt been performance optimized.

To back that up - I have a few sites that primarily target US markets and they're doing very well despite being hosted in the UK.

If you really like the host and are still concerfned about performance then you can always use a CDN as well, so that content can be delivered locally.
 
Not gonna lie, I had a showerthought today "Why not start a blog?" and here is this beautiful guide.

I love it.
 
Thank you for this! As a newbie here and to all of this, it will be very helpful. So far very glad I found this site!
