Step 4: Register for Webspace

Hows it going? I hope you have enjoyed my tips till now. If you have, then you will love what's going to come :-)

Now that you have a topic ready and also some products you can promote, let's start working on your website.

First of all, go and register for some webspace. A lot of people ask me whether they should go for free webspace or paid webspace, and this is what I tell them:

If you are new and are just starting out, go for free webspace. But remember to shift to paid hosting as soon as you can afford it. The reason is that all these free web hosting sites mention in their terms and conditions that the content on their sites is owned by them. This means, if you have a popular site, the free webhost can claim it is their content and strip you of all your income.

It sounds scary, but it is true - I have seen this happen to my friends. They worked so hard on their websites and one fine day, lost everything. So my advice, start with free webspace, but once you make money, the first investment should be on paid hosting.

And paid hosting is not very expensive. For $47 (Rs. 2250) a year, you can get webspace plus domains. Isn't your peace of mind and gurantee of income worth $47? If you want to check out affordable hosting, here's the link:

Well, let's get back to our task - so if you don't have a website and can't spare $47, register for free webspace. You can check out either geocities.com or 50webs.com.

While selecting a name for your website, try to think of something which will suit your topic. For example, if the topic is movies, the website could be movies.geocities.com.

Today's task - register your website and start thinking of content for your website. In my next email, I will tell you where you can get content for your website.
