Starting Out a New Website
I have created and launched many websites over the past seven years of being an entrepreneur. I have owned everything from search engines, to content sites, as well as online stores, but I never bore of launching and promoting a new site. To me, it is like watching a baby grow up into an adult, and I find it truly amazing.
For my site launches, I have created a system (and checklist) of steps I need to take before and after launching the site. Currently, I am working on the last part of my new site: website marketing.
The marketing aspect of a website is very important because if no one can find your site, you can really expect little to no income from that web property. I even have a checklist for this step that includes directory submissions, article writing, forum posting, and social bookmarking.
I usually can promote a new site in a day or two, so I expect revenue to start coming in by the end of the week. Man, do I love making websites – it is a job that I am very passionate about.
