For Those Who’d Like to Make a Web Site and Think They Can’t
Since the dawn of time, setting up a viable business has never been easier. Through the Internet, you can now tap the world’s marketplace from your living room. But here’s the problem: you don’t know how to make a Web site!
Access to the world’s marketplace isn’t the only big change. Traditional jobs are becoming scarcer. Maybe your job future doesn’t look as assured as it once did. This is a good reason to look at income from a small business. In fact, there are entrepreneurs out there who have made a lot of money from the Internet.
But you’re not taking the first step. You don’t know how! And you think you can’t afford it.
Novices can get plenty of help creating a Web site. Many people are in business to help novices set up a Web site using a template. There’s a problem with the result, though–you don’t know enough HTML to add affiliate links, shopping carts, or clickable ads, the items that will earn your Web site money. What you really need to learn is a bit of HTML, just enough to get the job done.
Learning HTML–it sounds a lot harder than it is. Actually you only need to know a bit of HTML, not the whole subject. You can look for a tutorial on it, or a book. If you sign up for a class at the local junior college, you’re probably learning more HTML than you need.
You will need to use Web site creation software. There are basically three alternatives for you: Macromedia Dreamweaver, which is several hundred dollars; Microsoft Front Page, which costs around $100; and Nvu, which is free. Nvu is open source software, originally part of Netscape-that browser that was a competitor to Internet Explorer in what seems like the distant past now. Open-source software is publicly available software that is maintained by programmers on their own time, usually because they want to provide us with an alternative to Microsoft.
Another expense for you is Web hosting. When you buy Web hosting, you are actually renting space on a server. There are plenty of hosting companies out there, many offering fancy solutions that you as a novice don’t need. There are hosting companies offering inexpensive solutions, too. For example, you can find a Web hosting company that will give you both hosting and domain registration for about $25 per year. Domain registration is something else you need–reserving your domain name, such as www.mywebsite.com. Usually it costs under $10 by itself. Try this: put “cheap domain hosting” into a search engine and look for user-friendly and simple solutions.
E-books are becoming more and more common. When you buy an ebook, you are paying for the information in it, pure and simple. In fact, that’s all it is, information. You have to provide the printer if you want a hard copy. E-books are popular because they provide information instantly–something that folks in our culture are happy to pay for. In fact, you may be able to find an e-book on how to use Nvu.
