Beginners Corner

This article explains how to set up a website. To learn how to build more Traffic To Your Site or build more Income To Your Site read the respective articles.

Prior to setting up a website I recommend reading The "Next-Big-Project" Planner

It might seem like it could take weeks to set up a successful website that makes a passive income. That's not true. This website took me 6 hours to get up and running. Here are some shortcuts I used to save weeks of time and thousands of dollars.

First of all, Lunar Pages hosting offers all the tools to build a professional and profitable website within hours. Here are some of the benefits of using them.

$2.95 Hosting and a Free Domain Registration

Each website requires a Domain Name (.com name) and Hosting Space – Lunar Pages provide a free domain name with their web hosting packages.

Members are just required to purchase the hosting space and select their personalized domain name without having to look elsewhere for domain name registration.

One-Click Installer

Once the hosting is set up we'll want to configure a basic website like this one using a software for Content Management. These software packages make it simple for beginners and experts alike to get a website up and running. Here are the steps I follow when making a new website:

Step 1 – Log in to the Lunar Pages control panel ('Log In' is the 3rd button on their top right menu)
Step 2 – Click on the 'Control Panel' buttom
Step 3 – Click on 'CPanel' and click 'ignore' on all SSL error messages until the main Cpanel screen comes up
Step 4 – Click on 'Fantastico' towards the botton, it looks like a blue smiling face
Step 5 – You'll see 'wordpress' on the left hand menu, click on that
Step 6 – Press install

This is a 10-minute technique to get a website like this up and running. It can take 10-15 hours and hundreds of dollars to hire someone to do the above steps or to do them without Lunar Pages' One-Click Installer.

See?

It's not complicated at all to get a personalized website up and running!

Don't have time for all this? Getting stuck at a step? Don't hire an expensive web developer. Hire someone to do all the above plus extra customizations for a single price of just $59.

Customizing Your Site

The 'wordpress' software is the easiest and most powerful method to personalize a website. It's also 100% free to use.

Theme customizations can be a bit more difficult to manage. Creating a personalized design that screams "You" requires a little bit of technical knowledge.

Our website uses the Thesis theme, a premium theme for wordpress that makes design customizations a matter of 'click and change settings'. The theme also attracts higher search engine traffic than most other wordpress themes because it so so slimline in its design.

Thesis is the one design option that all website owners should consider investing in to make their life a whole lot easier in maintaining their website. You've now got a website up and running. Now learn how to build Traffic To Your Site and build a Passive Income On Your Site.
