The First Steps In Creating An Online Business

Arian van osch

As you can see whatarethestepsincreatinganonlinebusiness.com was available and I bought that, you can see that`s related to what I offer. When you find a good domain name Godaddy offers you several extra options, I didn`t bought any of that and went straight to the order page.

My second step was to find a good host, a friend of my recommended me viphostingsolution. One of the most important thing was they offer Unlimited data transfer (bandwidth) with your account. I`m not a tech so for all the details go visit the site and see if it`s something for you viphostingsolution

Now I had a domain name with godaddy and a host and now?
I didn`t know what I must do so I sent a message to viphostingsolution.
They told me I had to change the nameserver ( dns ) so my domain name was on their server, I don`t go in further details once again I`m not a tech.
So I login to my account with godaddy and on the opper left you see a link domains don`t click an box appears click on my domains. Than you are in domain manager click on your domain name and than on nameservers. A box appears and you check custom namesrevers (I host my domains elsewhere.) And in the boxes calded nameserver1 and nameserver2 you change the dns with the dns you`ve got from your host and click ok

Now I was ready to create my blog I login to my host and clicked on fantastico de luxe. This`s another advance it create an wordpress blog automatically.
All you have to do is click on the logo fantastico de luxe than click on the sidebar wordpress, a new installation. Fill in some blanks like your domain name, user name, password and click on install word press. My first blog ever was online you can imagine how excited I was.

But I had to commit I didn`t like the look of it, it was like many other wordpress blogs. So I looked around on the internet for blog themes, I found one that I thought was very interested.

Here are some benefits:

On-page Search Engine Optimization: How to change the placements of some texts to implement on-page SEO so that Google will be happy to rank your site higher.

Highest Click Thru Rate: I’ll tell you where the best ad locations are so that your advertisers will be happy and excited, waiting for the next vacant spot of your blog – Works on AdSense too!

Color Combination: Choose the best color combination of ads. Knowing this would help your and your advertisers. There simply are some colors that people like to click.

Feed Subscribers: One thing I added on my blog that contributed over %30 of my RSS feed subscribers.

Indexing: What texts to add to ensure that your entire blog gets indexed by Google.

Plugins: What are the best plugins to install.

So I decided to buy it I bought the up sell because that gives me the rights to install it on unlimited blogs. For more detail visit the site and see for yourself if it`s something for you Blog Themes.
I watch the videos that came with the order how to install it on my host.
The videos where a great help for me but I didn`t understand some things. So I send them an email with my questions and the next day I already had the answers.

After doing the things they told me on the video it was time to write my first post. That was hard for me as you know I live in The Netherlands, and write something in English is not a thing I do on a daily basis but I did my best.
After I finished my post it was time to let Google know that my site was online.
So I went to http://www.google.com/addurl/ and typed my domain name in the box and hit the button that was on 29 November 2008.

Yesterday 3 December I checked if Google had index my site and YES they had.
I was curious so for the fun I typed in the search term: the steps in creating an online business. I didn`t know what I saw my site was already on page 3 out of 1.900.000 searches.
I did another search now for: what are the steps in creating an online business
And guess what my site was on page 4 out of 4.060.000 searches
