Building your Web Pages.
Depending
on how adventurous you are will determine the path
you take here.
Before
hiring someone to build your pages - experiment a
little with the free page builders - they walk you
through it and make it so easy. I'll just give you a
few and you can check them out and if you determine
this is not for you - then you can check out the web
builders.
Study
your HTML (your codes that tell the computers what to
do).
Here is a great article on HTML in a way that you
will remember. - It is the featured article in the
e4u Newsletter. Go

did not know about all these templates. TAKE

That's enough to keep you busy for awhile.
DO YOU NEED HELP WITH SCRIPTS?
There are hundreds of great programs
all over the web to help your website be as appealing
as can be and draw your customers in to read more of
your site.
Until you are more educated about
scripts and what they do and what the requirements
are to have them installed, I would suggest obtaining
the help of a professional to install your scripts.
I have used ASU Services many times
in my web presence and Mike has done a beautiful job,
very reasonable and Customer Service is second to
none.
Contact Mike for your help on
scripts. ASU

Here again - use the Search Engines
and do some research - just enter Scripts into the
search engine.

FREE
HOSTS
Since
the free hosts that I use to recommend have gone down
leaving people without their web pages and no
warning, I no longer will recommend free hosts.
I am
going on the assumption that if you are doing
business on the web you can afford a domain of your
own. They can be obtained for as little as $9.95.
PAID
HOSTS
I
recommend Host4Profit - the one I use. I have
used several, but this one has much more for the
money.
Before
you start this confusing project. Check this one out.
It will not only be a host for you, but it will give
you a product to market and pay you for every
referral you send their way. $10.00 per referral -
not just one time - but every month you are with them
and your referral is with them. Get you 3 referrals
and you have your host paid for.
It
will also give you access to the famous Warriors
Group site. A bargan in itself - it sells for $49.95.
It is loaded with bonuses. Yours free when you let
Host4Profit host your domain.
Check
out the Warrior Group and the Host4Profit (click at
the very top for the Host4Profit (first line)
Or Go to the
Host4Profit Site - GO
HERE
Here is a great FREE
e-book on how to install, work and use the
Host4Profit site to your best advantage:

OBTAINING
MERCHANT ACCOUNTS
(The ability to accept credit cards)
Once
again there are dozens out there - however some of
them are costly - I will just recommend the ones I
use which does not cost anything until you make a
purchase than it is 9% of your total price. This does
beat the $40 - 60 payments per month on other
merchant accounts. I would use this until you get
your business up to where it would cover the monthly
payments of another merchant account.
Whatever
your credit background will not make a difference.
I use PayPal also - it is great - free and
a good service. I say free - it does not cost to open
up the account - they take a small percentage of each
transaction.
PayPal - I've used it for 6 years - great
- easy to send and receive money. http://paypal.com
http://www.clickbank.com
Has a one time set-up of $39.95
http://www.ccnow.com
- has a good shopping cart
==========>>>>>>>>>>
ClickBank
is also a very good merchant account. They have a one
time charge and a percentage of each sale. You can
run all your affiliate accounts through ClickBank,
they will pay you and track your accounts, those you
sign up for and those you offer to open to
affiliates.

You now
have your product.
Your web
page, whether you build it or have it done for you.
You will
have a shopping cart.
You have
your merchant account and ready to take credit cards.
Now all
that wasn't so bad was it? It just takes time and
chipping away at it a little each day and you will
finally be up and running.
As you get
to know more and more about building your pages, you will
want to add new items and spruce up your pages.
You will
find free script pages to choose from on many sites. Two
of the best I have found are the following:
