Many who want to become Internet Marketers are put off by the challenge of creating their first website.
It does seem a daunting prospect; the unfamiliar names and the flood of information which they feel it is necessary to learn right away.
This turns many away, but it need not be such a problem.
When then whole process is broken down into manageable portions anyone who can send and receive emails and surf the internet will be capable of learning what is required.
The important thing is to understand the process which is required to set up a website and the business which will flow from that.
It may take a week or even two weeks to build your first site; but that is OK, at the end of that time you will have learnt a great deal and will understand the procedure.
The tasks which are to be done are carried out in a particular order:-

• The first task is to purchase a Domain Name.
  This you will do from a Registrar which is an online company where you purchase your domain name after checking to see if your choice of name is available.
  A well-known and reliable registrar is Godaddy.
  com.
  A dotcom name will cost around $10.
  
• The domain name then requires hosting.
  Godaddy will also provide hosting, or you can obtain that from any of the many hosting companies you will find on the web.
  This need not cost any more than $10 or if you belong to a membership site, hosting may be provided free.
  
• Your Web Site.
  This is the next step in the process.
  To do this you will need a Web Editor.
  You can buy quite expensive web editors which have all the bells and whistles or you can down load one from the internet at no cost.
  Kompoza is a very good web editor and it is free to download.
  
• Creating web pages.
  Now that you have a web editor, the next task is to create the various pages which will be uploaded to your host company and become part of your website.
  Probably the first pages you create will be a home page, an opt-in or squeeze page, a Thank you page, and a Download page.
  These again are not difficult to do once it has been explained to you.
  

These are the main features required for building your own website.
There are smaller details which include formatting the text, adding colour to the site, uploading images or pictures and generally organizing everything to suit your requirements.
In most instances, building a website is going to be the basis of your own business online.
One further requirement for a successful business is to have the services of an auto responder.
This is a program which is designed to automatically reply to emails which are sent to it.
It is an essential part of a web business and makes it possible to communicate with the members of your list as it grows.
AWeber is one company providing auto responders and is probably the most satisfactory choice for the beginner in internet marketing.
This will cost about $19 per month.
As stated earlier it is not difficult to learn the skills necessary to build your own website.
Approach the task with a positive mindset and the belief that it is well within your ability to create a website.
