What Do You Need To Build a Website?
I prepared this simple step-by-step eBook to help you start your own
business either as an affiliate marketer or by selling your own
products through a website.
Please keep in mind one important thing: if you are just starting,
choose your niche carefully and focus on creating just one website.
Don’t start creating multiple websites at a time because you will not
achieve any goal, you will get frustrated and you will abandon in a
glitch.
Just a little insight of how I started: I knew nothing at all about
building websites, SEO, email marketing and all that kind of stuff you
might have heard of. I thought it was too complicated and that only a
few people made money online. I was wrong…
Fortunately, one day, I research how to start an online business and
here I am, earning money with my websites and products, so I’m
really proud and happy with all my achievements. I will never forget
my first $47 earned with an Amazon product. It was really awesome!
So, things been said, understand that there are 3 important things
that you will need to create your website, so keep reading to next
page to know them!

1. Hosting
Hosting is a service that is live 24 hours a day and which hosts all of
your information, like your text and images. This allows people to get
access to your website online. Without a hosting, your website would
come up blank if somebody searches for it.
2. Domain Name
Domain Name is the name you will give to your website. So, for
example, it should be something like YourBusiness.com or
YourName.com. Just choose one that represents correctly your niche.
3. Install WordPress
WordPress is a content management system (CMS) or in other words,
a website building platform.
Thanks to WordPress, the process of building a website was simplified
and HTML codes were not mandatory anymore.
“59.1% of the websites are created with WordPress”
It is a user-friendly platform where you will be writing your content,
putting images, videos, offer products, etc.
So… let’s start straight away!

How to Build a Paid Website
I will show you 2 ways you can get a paid website. One through
the Wealthy Affiliate platform and the other through an
independent web hosting service called BlueHost.
1. Wealthy Affiliate Paid Website
Let’s start with the easiest one which is the Wealthy Affiliate
Platform. There is only 1 step to do, in addition to the ones of the
free website (explained above). This additional step is called:
Domain Name Purchase.
You can either buy a Domain Name on Wealthy Affiliate platform
or through my other recommended site NameCheap.
On the Wealthy Affiliate Platform you will need to go to “SiteRubix”
and select “SiteDomains” as shown below:

Now, you should choose a domain name of your preference and
check its availability. Bear in mind that there will be lots of
extensions but the best ones are: “.com”; “.net” and “.org”.
Once you have your domain name, you can repeat the same steps
as on the free website but instead of choosing “Free Website”,
choose “On a Domain I own”:
YourDomainName.com
10
Follow me on: ©All copy rights reserved residualincomesecrets.com
You can also buy a Domain Name through NameCheap. If you
prefer to do it this way, you will have to add the domain you
bought on the “Add Domain” section (Remarked in red on below
image)
Which is the cost of setting a paid website through
Wealthy Affiliate?
Membership = $47 per month for unlimited websites or $350
yearly.
Domain Name = $0.8 – $1.2 per month (between $10-$15
which is billed annually).
Total Fee = approximately $48 per month or $360 per year.
The membership price includes Trainings, video classes, technical
support on your website, live support, Keyword Tool, Hosting, an
email account for your website, traffic formula and many more.

2. BlueHost
Another option to build a paid website is through Bluehost which is
the #1 hosting service company. Here you will do everything on
your own. There will be no training, no tools and no support with
your website and business, so I only recommend this option for
very advanced marketers. Just follow these steps:
Step 1: Go to www.Bluehost.com and click the “Get started now”
button. If you click here, you will get one free domain. This
discount applies to “.com” and “.org” domains.

Step 2: Choose the cheapest hosting package ($3.49 per month)
and domain name for your website.
Step 3: Complete your personal information to complete the
registration process.
Choose your Website
Domain Name.

Follow me on: ©All copy rights reserved residualincomesecrets.com
Step 4: Select the package that best suits you (if you are just
starting, the best option is the $3.49 price). There are some
additional services which I recommend as “Domain Privacy
Protection” and “Site Backup Pro”, but you can unclick them too if
you like.
With Domain Privacy, your personal information will stay
anonymous.
With Site Backup Pro, you will be able to backup all your website
information easily and avoid losing it.
Once registered, you will be able to start building your website, so
next step will be to install WordPress. So, let’s move to this step.

Step 5: Once inside your Bluehost dashboard, you have to click on
“Install WordPress” icon. See image below:
Step 6: Now you should have been redirected to “Mojo
Marketplace”, so click on Install (it’s Free) as on image below:

Step 7: Choose the domain you have chosen in Step 2 and click on
“Check Domain” and click “Continue”.
Sometimes, it might happen that a pop-up message appears
saying “It looks like files already exist in that location”. Don’t worry,
just click “Continue” and overwrite it.
Choose your Domain Name and
click “Check Domain”

This might take some minutes, so be patient. Once installed, you
are done! You will be given all credentials to log into WordPress:
Log into the “Admin URL” and insert your “Username” &
“Password” to get into the WordPress Dashboard as shown on
page 6 of this Ebook:

Free Website vs. Paid Website
There is a huge competitive advantage of having the ownership of
your own Domain Name. For example, a Paid website should look
something like “YourName.com” while a free website would look
something like “YourName.siterubix.com”.
If you want to make affiliate marketing your serious business, then
paid websites are the way to go. I mean, you should think it as an
investment rather than an expense.
Nonetheless, I highly encourage you to start with your free website
for you to learn how everything works. Play with all the features,
explore WordPress and get used to it. There are limitations with free
websites, but you can give it your own style.
You should also take advantage of the free training that Wealthy
Affiliate provides. It’s a great starting point and there are lots of
guides you can learn from. The community within Wealthy Affiliate
has a lot of expertise and it is always ready to provide support (either
something technical with your website or any problem you have).
Notice that there is a Live chat 24/7!

Tips and Important Aspects
I want to give you some further tips for your first website. To get
ranked in search engines like Google, Yahoo or Bing, you should
always have in mind 3 important aspects. These are:
1. Page Speed & Load Time
47% of visitors expect a web page to load in 2 seconds or less.
40% of people abandon a website that takes more than 3
seconds to load.
In the last page, I will give you some more tools you can use to
improve your website speed. So keep on reading!
2. Responsive & Clean Design
A website should be attractive for your visitors. This means that your
website should have nice colors, fonts, and design.
Also, your website should be mobile responsive. According to
Google, there are more visitors coming from mobiles than from
desktops nowadays, so you won’t like to lose these potential clients.
19

3. Quality Content
Quality content is another very important aspect of a website. You
should always provide your audience with good information, unique
and relevant.
Don’t ever copy & paste content from another website as search
engines penalize this bad behavior. Just lead by example and you will
see the benefits in the long run.
If you take these into consideration you will be ranked very well in
search engines and visitors will like to read your site.

Jaaxy (Free tool for 30 searches). See how to do keyword
