Internet Marketing Step-by-Step Guide 101
by Nayeem Syed

This is a step-by-step tutorial series that will go through the exact
steps I take when marketing my different sites on the internet with
very low budget. We also speak about how to get yourself started,
including all the technical details, what thought process you need to
go through, etc. In future articles we will be discussing specific
specialized topics.

1. Deciding your Niche:

Before you even consider starting on anything on the internet, decide
on what your niche is. In order to do this you need to find a topic
that you really like and enjoy doing, this can be anything from
gardening to paragliding. Whatever it is you choose, write that down
as your niche topic, as this is the business you will be doing over
the internet.

Do not worry if your niche topic changes in the future, you can always
start another business later on a different topic! In fact it is
encouraged to start another niche topic once you are done with one.
The system that is discussed will be quite straightforward and will
require little time spent towards maintaining it once you have set it
in motion.

2. Registering Your Domain Name:

Once you have decided on what your niche market is and what it is you
want to do, first step is to register your domain name.

If you are registering a .com domains go to godaddy.com

If you are looking at UK market then you can register .co.uk domains
from 123reg.co.uk

3. Setting up your Hosting Account:

Once you have set up your domain name, you need to get a 'hosting
account' set up. This is the physical location where your website will
be sitting. There is a very affordable and flexible company that I use
- hostgator.com

What I most like about hostgator.com is their 24-hours phone-line tech
support system that gets answered by a real human. I found they were
quite quick in solving my problems and I would always leave
satisfied. The other important features I need for my Internet
Business that they have are a) they allow unlimited sites, b) full ssh
access and c) cpanel with fantastico. We will discuss in detail at a
future article how you can use CPanel alongside Fantastico to rapidly
build an automated website.

Looking ahead?

You are now all set and ready to go for the next step: setting up your
website. In our next article we will be discussing exactly how you can
configure your nameserver, set up a blog software called wordpress,
wordpress themes, wordpress plugins and changing the look and feel of
your site.
