Welcome to the “Making Own Website”.org Community!

It is easy and cheap to run your own website and you control your own content, advertising and design.
STAY AWAY FROM FREE WEBSITES!
Free websites promise you a 5 minute setup process, but they do not tell you about the following:
- The extra cost when your websites reach a certain size
- The extra cost when you start generating traffic
- The extra cost when you want to add specific functionality
- The extra cost when you want to change your design
- The hassle when you want to move your content to a different provider
- The fact that many of them own the content you work hard to generate
- You put in the hours to grow their business for them because you publish quality content on their system and you get links to their website for them
- You get people talking about their system and website instead of your own website
And the list goes on. Free websites have their place and services like Blogger, Typepad and WordPress.org are solid solutions for people that want to put their diary online.
If you are even a little bit serious about building a quality website and create the potential for earning money from your website, maybe you want to boost your career by becoming an online authority in your industry, then you MUST:
- Run your own network of websites
- You MUST own your domain names
- You must control your own content
- You must control your own advertising
- You must own the links other websites send to you
- You must be able to control your own search engine optimization
- You must be able to ad and change your website functionality
- You must be able to change to design of your website

The purpose of the “Making Own Website”.org community is to help you build your first website. We help you with the technical step by step to get it up and running. We then help you to zoom in on what you want to publish and then we show you how to publish your valuable content.
Before you have at least twenty pages of strong niche content and a few good videos, do not even think about moving on to advanced topics like link building and search engine optimization. Why? Because you have nothing to optimize yet!
First build a website that is valuable to the audience in the niche market you chose. Then you start spending time optimizing and ranking your website. Remember the golden rule:
“Add great value and you will receive great value.” And Google LOVES great value.
There are a few things that you need to do from the very beginning:
- Select a niche with good possibilities that’s not too crowded and can make money
- Good “Long Tail” keyword selection in your niche
- A good domain name
- Setting up your website platform correctly
- Creating your content while keeping “On-page Optimization” factors in mind
These are the five basic principles you need to keep in mind when starting your first website. The experts here on the “Making Own Website”.org community will teach you and guide you through each of these initial steps.

I cannot stress enough; the process of earning money on the Internet is not a quick process. Google is the one you need to keep happy and Google has become extremely smart with recognizing spammy websites. I guarantee you your website will never generate any money if you publish content you simply copied from somewhere else and published on your website.
You need to be niche focused and you need to create original content.
This is a lot of work; believe me I have burned my fingers too many times to remember trying to walk the get rich quick road. If you are not willing to put in the hours, then don’t even start. But if you do the basic first five steps right, and you put in the hours to create good quality original content, you WILL reap the benefits of having your own online business.
On the “Making Own Website”.org community you will find everything you need to guide you step by step through the process of making your own website and the basics you need to keep in mind to turn this website into a business.
The steps to earning money from your website are simple:
- Build your website (the technical stuff)
- Create strong, original content
- Get your content noticed
- Build your email list
- Build relationship with your subscribers
- Keep on creating good content
- Offer a product to your subscribers
Once you have created strong content and you start getting visitors, you want to convert these visitors. In the online world of website building and online business building we call this “Conversion Optimization”. A conversion can mean many things. When you just start building your website, a conversion will be if someone registers for your newsletter or joins your online community.
Relationship building is the key
Once you start getting conversions and people start joining your newsletter then you have to keep in touch with your people. You need to work on the relationship and make them feel you are their friend, they need to start trusting you. This trust takes hard work and is earned through quality interaction.
Making your own website is just the first step.
To turn your website into money is a simple, yet time consuming process.
Only once you have a strong relationship with your subscribers can you start selling to them. Make suggestions, never sell them hard. You will not hard sell a friend will you? You tell a friend about a product or service that was very valuable to you.
This is where social media comes into play. Once the people that are part of your community trust your opinion, they will easily share with others how great your service, website and content is.
If you have your own product, slowly introduce this product. If you do not have your own product, then consider quality affiliate products. We will look at each of these in detail on the “Making Own Website”.org community.
So you see, only start monetizing once you have a strong relationship with your subscribers.
