    • Your domain name When you set up your web hosting account, your web host gave you the names of two nameservers. These names need to be in the domain name record for your domain name to point to your website.

    To add the nameservers to your domain name record, log in to your domain name account at your domain name registrar and look for the two fields marked “nameservers,” “DNS” (domain name servers), or just “Primary” and “Secondary.” Enter the nameserver names that your web host gave you, and click on Update.

    Managing the Bottom Line
    Managing a business is not as simple as one might think it is. As a matter of fact, in order for your business to succeed, one must exert extra effort. Also, you must always monitor the current condition of your business. In order to know how well your business is doing is by monitoring the monetary flow of your business. When we say "monetary flow" or more known by many as "cash flow", it represents the entire gross sales and revenues. Also, you must always keep track of your net income or "net profit" so as to know how to enhance the performance of your business.One of the essential factors in making your business successful is by creating a financial scheme and periodically checking its status against certain particulars that will pop up monthly. If certain problems are encountered, it is essential that you must solve the problems immediately. Listed below are some of the actions that you must take so that your business will run smoothly and for it to succeed eventually:Design a financial scheme. Estimate the profit that you expect to earn on a monthly basis and calculate your expenses.Also, bear in mind that the profits that you have lost can not be recovered. Once businessmen assess their estimated calculations to the actual calculations and discover that t
    You’ve decided to create a website to market your products or services. More and more people start their information searches online, so having a website is the logical next step. But without web development skills or knowledge, how do you build and market a website?

    To help you bring your business online, we’ve laid out these steps for you: The website concept

    1. The website concept

    Choose and register a domain name

    Your domain name should represent your business and be easy to spell and remember. Your company name is the obvious choice, but if the name is long, you may want to use a shortened version of it.

    The domain name extension is the part that comes after the main part of the name and the dot. Dot com (.com) names are the most popular for businesses. If your business is specific to a country outside the US, a country-specific extension helps show this. Country-specific domain extensions have rules relevant to the country they represent, such as that you’re a resident of that country or have a registered business in that country.

    To find out if a domain name is available, go to Whois Source (http://www.whois.sc/) or the domain name registrar of your choice. Whois Source has a name spinner tool, which suggests variations of a name if the one you want is taken.

    Once you choose a domain name, register it as soon as possible with a low price domains (http//www.lowpricedomains.com) provider. It might not be available the next day. Be sure to renew it before it expires — your company identity will become linked with this name.

    Write a site outline

    What content do you want at your website? These pages are standard for most business websites:

    • Home
    • About Us
    • Contact

    If you offer just a few products or services, one page for each product or service will work fine. On the other hand, if your company provides a range of products or services, your site will be easier to navigate if you group the products or services into a separate directory for each group.

    Good website content not only helps site visitors decide on your products or services, but it also helps increase traffic to your website. If you’re selling purple widgets, for example, a page on how to use purple widgets will bring your site more hits via search engines. It will also provide content that webmasters of other sites as well as posters in forums might link to.

    With the site outline ready, you’re ready for the next step. Get a website template

    Pre-made website templates (http://www.templatetour.com) vary in quality, but they can be customized, and they save you time. If you plan to buy a pre-made website template, consider these features when choosing a template:

    • Does the design convey a professional image that fits with your business?

    • Do the pages download within a reasonable time?

    • Does the design look good in all of the most common screen resolutions and browsers?

    • Does the template come with a site builder that formats your content for you?

    If you prefer to have an original website template but you don’t have web design skills, we recommend that you hire a professional web designer (http://design.websitesource.com). To choose a web designer, look at several web designers’ portfolios to see whose web designs meet the above criteria and suit your personal tastes.

    2. The website

    Write your website content

    Web readers are different from print readers. Web readers want to know right away if a page has the information they’re looking for. If it doesn’t, they may use the Back button to go to another site.

    You can hire a copywriter to write your website content, or your web designer may work with a web writer. Or, you can write your website content yourself.

    Tips on writing for the Web:

    • Organize your content with headings and subheadings.

    • Tell readers what each page is about near the top of each page.

    • Write clear, concise sentences in short paragraphs or bullet format.

    • Use tables to display data such as product and price comparisons.

    • Provide details about your products and services. Imagine what you’d want to know if you were looking for the products or services that you provide, and make this information easily accessible at your website.

    Search engine optimization (SEO) is a major part of web writing. Use keywords (words that people will enter in search engines to find information) throughout your content and in your title and headings in particular. The use of keywords also helps people find the information they’re looking for. Make your website user friendly

    Once site visitors come to your website, you want them to feel comfortable and to spend time reading the content. If your site is difficult to read or to navigate, you’ll lose visitors. Make sure that your website has the following:

    • A readable font size

    • Clear contrast between the font color and the background

    • Links to the main pages that are easy to find from any page

    • Links throughout the site that take visitors to the next steps — more details about your products or services, order pages, contact information

    Put together an e-commerce system

    If you sell products or services at your website, you need:

    • An online shopping cart program so that people can place orders

    • A merchant account to handle Internet payment transactions

    • A payment gateway to connect your shopping cart and the financial institutions involved in the sale

    • An SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificate to establish a secure connection when receiving credit card information

    For low-volume sales, PayPal may be more economical than a merchant account, and it doesn’t require a payment gateway or an SSL certificate.

    Shopping carts range from basic to those with more advanced options. Some merchant account providers include a payment gateway with their merchant accounts, which simplifies setting up an online store.

    3. The online presence

    Choose a web host

    Choosing a good web host is essential to your online presence. If your site is constantly down, or if you can’t get customer support when you need it, your website won’t be able to work as well for you.

    Don’t look at price alone when choosing a web host. Consider also these factors:

    • Are the support people fast and helpful?

    • Can you reach support easily at any time?

    • Does the company have a good record of server uptime?

    • Do the hosting packages provide room for your site to grow?

    In addition, look for specific features that your website may require, such as website templates or support for specific e-commerce solutions. Website Source’s Hosting (http://www.websitesource.com) includes these features and more:

    • Hundreds of templates to choose from using Site Studio — no HTML knowledge required

    • A shopping cart and shared SSL certificate included with accounts

    10 Top Reasons to Create a Blog for Your Business
    I postponed creating a blog for my business because I thought there was no marketing value in it and the ones I'd seen were primarily news blogs or personal blogs. Well, that was some time ago for now many businesses are creating blogs to attract more visitors and make more sales.What is a Blog?This is a small or large online journal that allows the author to frequently write on topics of personal interest or of interest to his/her visitors. The writing style is usually informal. Visitors can instantly add their comments to the end of the authors writings or posts. The posts are in chronological order ie day, month and year. Topics may include commentary on the Internet, brief philosophical discussions, or social issues plus links to other sites the author favors.The author of a blog is often referred to as a blogger.Blogs are alternatively called web logs or weblogs. However, "blog" is less likely to cause confusion, because "web log" can also mean a server's log files.10 top reasons to create a blog for your business1. Ability to add content in minutes.

    Web Page Optimization
    We all want to have the most attractive website that leaves a visitor wide-eyed and completely dazzled. Usually an extremely attractive website design involves lots of graphical elements, increasing the overall page size which causes the page to download slowly to the browser. This article will provide some useful tips on how to keep your website design attractive but still downloads quickly.As the average internet bandwidth rate per computer is raising, more and more webmasters allow themselves to develop complex websites laden with heavy graphic elements. In extreme cases you can find websites that take as much as a few minutes to load their content in your browser. Of course the user will never wait that long for a website to load, and will move on to the next website in his search results.So why are webmasters still developing slow loading bloated websites? Primarily due to a lack of knowledge of simple graphic optimization techniques that will allow them to maintain an attractive website while keeping the page size smaller.How many of you are aware of the fact that a box with rounded corners can be achieved using CSS code only, without the need for any graphic image. Well it is possible! Before those of you familiar with CSS say that it cannot be done for e

    Customer Communication by Email
    Among the smaller businesses that I work with, I often come across people who have little idea how to contact their customers by email and some are even aware that they need help to learn the skills properly: I love email - it is quick, low-cost, tangible, asynchronous and generates a record. I also hate email if it is spam, pointless or poorly presented.Be legal and delightfulThe law is the first aspect that I impress on my clients: The UK Data Protection Act became law in December 2003. A similar USA anti-spam law became law January 2004. These and other laws aim to stop people from sending out emails that are unwanted, distasteful or dishonest.Then I remind my clients that customers who find your messages interesting and delightful will keep asking for more, whereas those that you annoy will close the door on you. If you take an approach that stays legal and delights, you will remain free to remind your customers what benefits you can offer.Be transparentBesides being a legal requirement, I feel that it is polite and professional to ensure that your emails say: who you are, why you are mailing and whichhe background

    Once you have a web hosting account, you’re ready to go online. Set up your website

    You have your domain name, your website template, your content, your e-commerce system, and your web host. Now what?

    Put it all together.

    • Your domain name When you set up your web hosting account, your web host gave you the names of two nameservers. These names need to be in the domain name record for your domain name to point to your website.

    To add the nameservers to your domain name record, log in to your domain name account at your domain name registrar and look for the two fields marked “nameservers,” “DNS” (domain name servers), or just “Primary” and “Secondary.” Enter the nameserver names that your web host gave you, and click on Update. (The exact steps may vary depending on your domain name registrar.)

    While it used to take 24 hours or more for domain names to point to a website, this process often happens within an hour or so now.

    • Your website content Your web designer can format the content in HTML for you and add it to each web page. If you’re using a pre-made template with a website builder, you can add the content yourself.

    • Your website You can upload your web pages via an FTP (file transfer protocol) program or via the website control panel if your control panel has a file upload feature. If your site has an e-commerce system, you can set it up after you upload your page files.

    When you think your website is ready for the public, check it, check it, and check it:

    • Do all the links work?

    • Can visitors find information easily with the minimal number of clicks?

    • If you have a shopping cart, does it work smoothly?

    • Did you provide all the details that visitors need, including contact information?

    Market your website

    If you build it, they will come — but only if they know about it.

    Help people find your site online:

    • Submit your site to search engines (http://www.marketingcontrolpanel.com)

    • Find relevant online directories and submit your site to them.

    • Ask the webmasters of sites with related content if they want to link to your site.

    • Put your site name and a link to it in your signature line for all outgoing email.

    • Participate in forums and newsgroups and include your site name and a link to it in your signature line for posts.

    Share your site domain name offline too:

    • Print it on your business cards and stationery.
    • Display it in your store or office.
    • Add it in lettering on your company vehicle.
    • Put it on any company giveaway items.
    • Include it with any advertisements.

    Keep your website content current, continue adding new content, and give your domain name as much exposure as possible. And watch your business grow.
