Free Websites For Home Based Business
Mood:  happy
Topic: Home Based Business

Well, my plan seems to have worked! My Squidoo Lens started getting traffic from Google, Yahoo, AOL and some groups. Like I say always search and research on your own. Something that worked for others may or may not work for you.....

Without beating about the bush, let me come to the point. There are a number of free hosting sites for webpages and blogs. Never think of making money from day one.

My free website strategy would be:

1. Select one or more free hosting sites like Google Pages, GeoCities, Tripod, Google Base, Free Webs, Weebly etc.

2. Select one or more free blogging sites like Blogger, Wordpress, Yahoo 360, Tripod, Rediffiland etc.

3. Register at (1) and (2) above. Try to include your keyword as your site and blog names.

4. Select a suitable title or heading for your website and blog.

5. If you are not technically savvy, you can opt for Free Webs for your website and Blogger for your blog.

6. Choose your topic of interest or study or skill or hobby or experience.

7. Make a search with your topic (one or two main words) on Google, Yahoo and MSN search engines. Study the first 10 sites listed by them. Make sure you have a lot more to say i.e., your content should be different. Do not copy others' content. You will be liable for copyright violations if you copy. Change your topic if need be. Web surfers are keen to read new material or info.

8. Next go to Word Tracker. Try their free version - it gives daily traffic count for about 100 (maximum) keywords and phrases. Find out what is the traffic like for your keyword. Copy these words to your Excel file for record and future reference. There are other free tools too listed at my Squidoo Lens on Free Home Based Business.

9. Now comes the hardest part - Writing Content which I shall discuss later.

10. For inspiration and ideas for organising your thoughts, head over to article directories like Ezine Articles, Go Articles etc. and read the articles written by veterans. Make notes but do not copy! If you choose to quote, give proper accreditations - still better write to them in the comments box.

I will give other guidelines in my future entries or read my tips on internet business.
