Before you even begin to mark your territory on the world wide web, have you considered the basics to establishing a successful online experience? There are several questions that needed to be answered before you enter the webmaster realm.
- What product do you have to offer consumers? What type of useful service will you provide?
- What type of slogans and logos will you use to promote your product?
- Who is your target internet audience? Consider the age group who will benefit the most from the most your website. Research what type of interests people usually have that belong to different age groups. Identify your audience an brainstorm on how and where to promote your website to your target.
- Will you have a partner or will you manage your website alone? Will you hire people to assist you?
- How much are you willing to invest of your time, mind, dedication, and money?
Once you have firmly answered these questions then you can continue onto the next process. Decide on a catchy and potentially successful domain name. You want to stand out from the rest and create a distinguished online reputation. How many times have you see a website that resembled another (most likely in poor taste) to the point you did not want to even keep looking? Nobody likes a copycat especially a bad one. Spend sometime thinking of a domain name that is memorable and also relevant to your product. You can even Google and Yahoo search expired domains and search through the database to find results that could be very helpful. Use a synonym or rhyming dictionary if you can’t come up with many catch phrases on your own. Be creative! You can promote your website using many techniques and also increase traffic for free if you know how to drive website traffic to your domain. We will discuss that further another time. For now just plan carefully how you intend on embarking on the technology world.
