As I promised you in the earlier post, I start my SEO related posts from the beginning where you can start fresh with your website design. In this post I will point your attention on selecting a niche, a business product or service that you plan to provide through your new website. There are few important things to consider before you design and host your website. Always remember that you can’t become a successful and profitable website owner unless you work hard with your website continuously. I’m telling you the best and proven way which is not a GET RICH QUICK METHOD (there aren’t any real get rich quick methods. You have to work hard to be successful in the online business). You must look after your website as a small child. Always keep it in mind.

If you plan to start a new website which will generate an income for you for a long time, the most important thing before you design and host is selecting a niche, a product or service which you are interested and willing to improve on it. Otherwise you won’t be able to continue with your website and you will definitely lose the motivation to improve it. Therefore select one that you like. That’s the first lesson in internet business. And then do a small research on the niche, product or service whether there is a demand for it. Otherwise there is no point even you like it. You must choose a niche, product or service that market wants.

Next thing you must do is finding out whether the market of your niche, product or service is saturated and whether there are big players and a high competition. If the market is saturated and there are many players with a higher competition, there is no point of entering to this market as you will definitely find it is very hard to do businesses there. Credit cards, prescription drugs, web hosting, posters, domain reservation and ink refills can be given as examples for over saturated markets.

Then check whether the product or service that you are going to sell can be sold through the internet and customers can easily buy them (whether you can provide secure online payment facilities and if needed home delivery).

If you have selected a niche, product or service according to all the above mentioned criteria, then you must plan how to make your website attractive and an interesting one for your customers. You must also plan a way to keep your customers attached to your website and how to attract new customers. These are mainly related to internet marketing. Therefore it is better if you can gain a basic knowledge on internet marketing before you start and continue it. All the top ranking websites have applied and practiced many internet marketing strategies to achieve their goals and come to the current position. You must never give up. That’s a must.

The last thing you must workout is finding ways to make your website a unique one compared to your competitor websites. This will definitely make more and more profits from it. Always try to make your website different from your competitors’ websites. Never try to copy their actions,strategies or website design. Make your one a ONE AND ONLY. This is one of the mistakes that most newcomers do. They try to copy, but not to be unique.

I hope that you have understood how to plan your website and now you have decided on your niche, product or service. In the next post, I will let you know how to design your website properly, how to select a domain name for your website and how to select a web hosting company.

It seems that many people are interested on searching information, tutorials and beginner’s guides for SEO (Search Engine Optimization) these days. SEO has been a very important factor in modern web site ranking competition. More and more websites and companies are entering to the SEO field as SEO service providers and making huge profits. But if you learn it, it is not much difficult to understand. With this post I start a series of posts on SEO starting from the beginning.

SEO is a breakthrough when the page ranking came into the website arena. Especially Google page ranking. SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization which is used to optimize web pages which are friendly to search engines and get a higher page rank for the website which will ultimately make more profits with your website if you own a commercial website (almost 99% of websites and blogs have a commercial purpose). SEO should be done in a very careful and accurate manner which involves good analytical, tactical and communicational skills. When you read my future posts one by one and exercise them, you will be able to become a SEO expert gradually. There is a very important thing to remember when you start learning SEO. That is, YOU CAN’T TAKE A WEBSITE TO THE TOP TEN POSITIONS ONLY WITH SEO AND YOU CAN’T MAKE IT WITHIN A DAY OR A WEEK. SEO NEEDS SOME TIME AND YOU MUST CONTINUE YOUR EFFORTS WITH INTERNET MARKETING STRATEGIES. SEO GURANTEES A HIGHER RANK FOR YOUR WEBSITE BUT IT DOESN’T GURANTEE A PLACE IN TOP TEN WEBSITES RELATED TO YOUR NICHE.

With the above mentioned fact I will teach you how to do SEO step by step without any charge. You will find posts here, related to SEO in the coming future. If you are having some issues or problems, you are free to contact me and clarify them. I will make sure that all your emails are replied.

With the next post, I will start a tutorial on what do first if you plan to start a brand new website which is decorated with SEO. Hope you will keep in touch with these series of posts.
