When deciding on creating a website, the biggest decision you will have is
“What will my site be about?”
Trying to find a good and profitable website niche idea may seem difficult.
Once place that you can look is eBay.
eBay? Really?
Yes, Really.
They have taken all the guesswork out of trying to find different niches and even what is selling in each area.
A new ebook I created about building a website can help you locate different niche markets and even the micro-markets.
Complete Guide to Creating a Website
The reason that eBay is a good place to find profitable niche markets is that they have categories for everything that is sold.
When you take a look at the different categories (35 of them), they list all the subcategories under them and you can keep drilling down to find all the micro-niches within any area.
People look on the internet for information (or products) on how to solve their problems.
If you find (or have) a situation (or a hobby) in which you can help people solve their problems, you can make money with a website.
eBay is not the only place to look for profitable website niche ideas.
Your Own Backyard
Many beginners try to start making money online with trying to sell “how to make money online” products.
The bad idea of this is THEY have not made money yet.
Remember what I said before about what people look for on the Internet?
How about looking outside your door.
Do you live in a high tourist location?
Start a website of all the interesting things to do and even all the free stuff that people can do while there.
Are you finding ways to help the environment?
Write about what you are doing and explain to people what they can do also.
Extremely good with money?
Can you squeeze a dollar and get a dollar and a quarter out of it because of your spend-thrift ways?
Have a large family and found ways to cut back at the grocery store?
There are so many different ideas you can use to help you build a profitable website but you need to do research and see what would work for you.
Can’t think outside the box? Here is a list of website niche ideas to get you started.
When looking for your website theme use the superhighway (Internet) for what it was intended for….Finding Information.
There are still great profitable website ideas that have not been tapped into yet.

When you start to compare web hosting companies there are a few things you need to consider before you actual purchase their plan.
What Services Do I Need In A Web Hosting Plan?
- Money back guarantee
- No set-up fee
- Affordable cost
- Own e-mail (example: webmaster@yoursite.com)
- Excellent Customer Support
- No ads
- Private domain registration (optional)
- Toll Free Support
- Affordable domain renewal
Some web host companies will offer you great incentives to sign up with one of their plans but once you have signed up, they may have hidden fees.
So when you compare one web host to another make sure you are actually comparing the closest web hosting packages that you can.
Domain Name
Some of the web hosting providers will include a domain name included with their packages.
This may be a good option for many people.
The downside of this is that when you have a domain name included and you are not happy with your web hosting provider, you may not be able to “keep” your domain name if you transfer to another hosting company.
The reason is that your domain is included for only the time you stay with that hosting provider.
No Advertisements
If you are purchasing hosting, you should not have any of their advertisements on your web pages.
That is usually only for the free hosting companies as this is how they make some of their money.
This chart will help you compare affordable web hosting.
Best Web Hosting Companies
With so many companies vying for your business, how do you really know which company would be what you need?
That is a difficult question since everybody has certain wants and needs for their individual websites.
Long Term
Long Term condition was not stated above in the items to think about when you are comparing web hosting services.
How long do you plan on being with this company.
Are you looking to create a website and just keep building on it or do you want to create mini sites that you will be working on.
How Long Online?
I know you are making your website to be online for a long time, make sure the web hosting company will be able to grow with you.
Do research on how long the company has been in business by reading reviews and asking on forums that you participate in.
Your hosting package will be an on-going expense so take time to really take a look when you start to compare web hosting plans.

While surfing the web to find a good free book on how to create a website, I realized there were not many online to really help a beginner.
They all wanted me to buy this product and that product.
It seems all of them told me I needed to buy a domain name and web hosting first, then start creating a site.
Heck, how can I even decide on a name when I was not sure of what I will be creating a website for.
I needed help with first of all finding a niche.
Where do I look? How do I find out if it is profitable? What about competition? Is there alot?
So many questions and the books never gave me answers. Only told me to buy a domain from this registrar and web hosting from this provider.
It was so very frustrating. Even more frustrating when I was trying to make a website that the search engines would find. And better yet, visitors would find me.
My creating websites tutorial does have a lot of steps and I realized there needed to be a quick guide for beginners to make it easy.

Radio Killed The Video Star. Have you heard that phrase?
It seems more and more people are creating videos instead of writing content to attract visitors to their site.
Don’t get me wrong, I think video is a great way to get your information out to many people, but what I have found is when I am looking for information on the internet, I need to “watch another video” to obtain it.
Give me a choice.
Let me watch the video or read the article.
There are many times when I am looking for information, I just want to skim different web pages until I find all that I am looking for.
But with videos, I am unable to do that. I have to watch the whole video to get information I want.
That can be very frustrating since some of the videos could be up to 10 minutes long and if I was able to read an article, I could just skim to the parts I want.
Videos can be a great asset when you are giving someone step by step instructions and having that personal touch that seems to be lacking on the Internet.
But so many times, I have watched videos and they drag out what they are talking about.
If you are using videos on your site, but do not have an article available for someone to be able to read if they are under time restraints you may be losing that visitors attention.
Take the time to write articles in conjunction with videos. This can be a great asset to helping many more visitors on your website.
Think outside the box when you are creating your videos to help capture people’s attention.
Sure, there are thousands of people that love to watch the videos, but just think for one minute if you take the time to capture the attention of the people who still like to read articles also how many more visitors you could obtain.

Kind of a double edged sword for that answer. Which is Yes and No.
Yes, if you are trying to figure out all the steps you need to create your own website.
No, if you have a step by step tutorial to help you through.
You will find it very difficult, time consuming and extremely frustrating to get your own website off the drawing board and live on the Internet if you are not using a guide to help you.
You don’t need to pay someone to build a website for you because even with very little computer skills you can learn how to plan, design and build your own web pages so that the search engines and visitors will be able to find you.
How Can I Create My Own Website Easily?
By having a step by step tutorial which shows you the complete website development process.
Here is a how to create a website tutorial, which is free so you can learn from start to finish the easy way to begin building your own website.
Many sites tell you to register a domain and get web hosting.
Well, there are many more steps that you need to do.
Don’t worry as the free tutorial explains to you how to plan, research niche website ideas, design web pages, search engine optimization, generating traffic to your site and even how to make money from your website even if you don’t have a product to sell.
I have seen so many articles that say creating your own website is so difficult that you should pay someone else to do it.

Even if you don’t know all the internet jargon, this website development tutorial explains everything you need to know.

Making money off your site is going to consist of different forms income streams. From click on ad’s, banner advertising, and actual products which you can sell on your site and receive heavy commissions from.

With the price of everything going up these days, you can still find affordable web hosting. You don’t have to purchase software to help you create a website as many of the web hosting companies have included with their hosting plans a quick installation of blogging software, like Wordpress.
With so many different types of hosting companies on the Internet, it was difficult to see what the difference really was, so I put that chart together to help.
Beginners Beware
When I was first starting out online, I found (what I thought) was a good price for web hosting, what I found out later was that the hosting company I was using was a reseller for another company.
As I compared the hosting plans from the reseller to the actual hosting company, I realized how much they were jacking up the prices of the different products.
Don’t get me wrong, I see nothing wrong with making a profit reselling hosting, but many are raking newbies over the coals.
Save Your Money
When you are first starting out with creating your website or blog, you can find a basic hosting program for around $50 a year and many times with the domain registration included.
Basic plans usually have enough space to get up and running so don’t think you need to get the biggest package with all the bells and whistles starting out. This is especially true if you are going to use just a blogging software to create your web presence.
You can always upgrade to a bigger package later on down the road.
Is a basic plans really all I need?
Yes, it really is because the amount of space, e-mail address, sub-domains and many times the quick install of blogging software is included with these packages. Here is a comparison of affordable web hosting plans.
As you can see from the chart many of the plans do have basically the same services. I have used a few of the big names in this business that have excellent customer service.
Sure, every company will have complaints. I have see on the Internet many complaints about GoDaddy.
Even after seeing the different complaints, I decided to give them a try.
I couldn’t be happier with them.
With a few domains at another company, I moved them over to GoDaddy, then signed up with their basic hosting package because of the quick install of Wordpress. Yes, this blog is hosted with them.
I did have a few problems at the beginning, but once I contacted customer service they helped me work them out.
Long-Term Contract
Even if you don’t want to lock yourself into a long term hosting plan, it does save you money since many times you can get better rates buying web hosting for 12, 24 or 36 months.
Remember, blogging and/or creating a site (usually) is a business venture for you. You are looking to make money.
If you only sign up for a one month plan then by the time you actually start getting your feet wet, it is time to pay for hosting again. Who wants to have to remember to pay monthly?
Monthly payments may work for you while you are just starting out. But once you are able it is best to to with a 12 month plan (or even longer) because the time creating, building and designing your site will go extremely fast and before you know it your 12 month time is up.
So while you are looking at the different hosting, do take a look at the long term hosting plans. Many times you can get a great deal.
Think you have to small of a budget and need cheap (but great service) hosting plans, take a look at this chart that compares affordable web hosting that can fit into any budget.
