W hat Skills Do I Need?
I f you're thinking about creating a website ( especially if it's for business/ m oney m aking) , you m ay be curious or even intim idated by what you have to learn. Here are som e skills and attributes that will com e in handy.
A Basic Understanding of W eb Program m ing
As I will em phasize several tim es throughout this book, you do not need to becom e an expert program m er to have a successful website, but you should learn t he basics of HTML and CSS ( m ore advice on t hat lat er.)
Cr e a t ivit y
People underest im at e t he im port ance of t his at t ribut e. Anyone can t hrow up content and call it a website or a blog, but when it com es to effect ive m arketing and building traffic, you have to dig deep and get in touch with your creative side.
Som e will argue creat iveness cannot be learned because it is a t alent . That 's t rue t o an extent, but I believe you can im prove your creativity, especially if you study other successful Webm asters and Bloggers.
Thinking out side t he box will t ake you far, and is oft en t he difference bet ween success and failure. There is going t o be com pet it ion no m at t er what t opic you choose, so you have t o fine tune your approach and develop a fresh perspective on your topic.
Dare to be different.
Good W riting Skills
This skill is especially im port ant if you want t o m ake m oney t he way I do ( affiliat e m arket ing) . My writ ing has im proved t rem endously over t he years. Let 's t ake writ ing headlines, for exam ple. Ten years ago I m ay have t it led a blog post about Twit t er m ist akes som et hing sim ple like, Top Tw it t er Mist akes. ( Yawn)
Today, I would t ake m ore t im e wit h t hat t it le and m aybe craft som et hing m ore at t ent iongrabbing like, 12 Twit t er Crim es Alm ost Every Newbie Com m it s.
See how t he 2nd t it le is m uch m ore int erest ing and eye- cat ching? This is som et hing I learned over t im e by st udying ot her successful Webm ast ers whose writ ing I adm ired. One headline can be the difference between hundreds and thousands of visits.
I highly recom m end downloading Ken Evoy's free e- book called Make Your Words Sell. I t 's a great read and provides very useful tips to im prove your writing.

Pa t ie n ce
I would love to be able to tell you exact ly how long it will take to m ake X am ount of dollars. But due to the m any variables involved ( your topic, your speed of learning, traffic, conversion rat es, et c.) , it 's absolut ely im possible t o est im at e how long it will t ake t o m ake a profit or how m uch m oney you will m ake.
You will need a great deal of pat ience and realist ic expect at ions. Just like I could never estim ate how long it would take a local m usic store owner to earn a profit from his offline store, I could never estim ate such a thing for som eone looking to m ake m oney online.
And if you are desperat e t o m ake m oney now, I have som e very Monopoly- like advice for you. STOP! Do not pass go. Do not collect your $ 2 0 0 .
This book is definit ely not for you. I f m aking a lot of m oney in a short t im e was realist ic and com m on, you'd hear stories every night on the evening news and read countless articles in newspapers and m agazines everyday. People would be leaving t heir 9 t o 5 j obs left and right because they struck it rich online.
Of course you m ay read st ories about online success every now and t hen. But I bet m ost of you don't know anyone personally who is m aking a full- t im e living online. That 's largely because it's hard work j ust like any offline business and it takes tim e. And unfortunately, a lot of people are im patient.
We live in a digital world where we are used to getting everything now. And because the I nternet is so accessible, it often gives people false assurance that m aking m oney online is easy and fast.
Don't get m e wrong. I t's m uch m ore convenient to m ake m oney online than offline, but it is not easy for m ost people and it takes tim e.
I 've even had friends and fam ily t ell m e... " Lisa, I had no idea how m uch I had t o learn about m arket ing and building m y sit e. You m ake it look so easy."
Sure, I m ay m ake it look easy because I love what I do and it's never felt like a j ob. Nevertheless, I still didn't becom e successful overnight. I t's unlikely that you will either.
_______________________
So there you have it. I f you are not willing to learn basic program m ing to m anage/ m aintain your site, tap into your creative side, perfect your writing skills and have patience then you m ight as well close t his book now. Making m oney online is probably not for you.

Dom ains & Hosting ( First Step)
Before we get started, you should understand that EVERY website m ust have two things...
1) A domain name 2) A web host
Dom ain Nam es
The dom a in na m e is t he address of your websit e ( yoursit ) and the w eb host is the com pany that allows you to publish your pages to t he I nt ernet , creat e e- m ail addresses ( nam e@yoursit ) and develop addit ional feat ures like chat room s, forum s, shopping carts, feedback form s etc.
I recom m end get t ing your dom ain nam e and web host ing from Websit . This is m y reseller store. I offer free tutorials, free e- book creation software and videos to help you get started with your site. (The links t o t he freebies are on t he THAN K YOU page aft er you order so don't m iss them !)
However, if you have a com pany in m ind, feel free to use whatever registrar you wish for regist ering your dom ain and get t ing a web host . Regist rars t ypically provide t he sam e ser v ices.
W eb Hosting
A web host is the com pany that provides the server space for your web pages and whatever files you need for your websit e. You will be uploading your websit e files t o your host . This is how a website becom es visible on the I nternet.
They also provide you wit h e- m ail addresses ( nam e@yourdom ) , script s for forum s, blogs, chat room s, feedback form s, et c. A w ebsit e cannot exist w it hout a host.
When you go t o Websit you will see t wo kinds of host ing plans...
Option 1 : Regular Hosting
The first one is locat ed under t he Host ing t ab. This is t he m ost com m on t ype of host t hat m ost people use for their websites and blogs. I t's the m ost econom ical and you can do whatever you want with your site in term s of adding forum s, chat room s, user uploads, video, et c.
Most people ( especially beginners) who use t his t ype of host opt t o buy websit e building soft ware ( see below) . You don't have t o, but if you don't , you'll have t o code your web pages by hand.
