When it comes to building a profitable website you need to plan and prepare first. Far too many people will have an idea for a particular type of website and then straight away buy the domain name and then start to build it without actually thinking through what it is they need to do. Just like these people I would build hundreds of websites and then spend time constantly moving from one to the next without any real plans in place. However today I have learn that it is much better to concentrate on have no more than 20 sites and because of this I have seen my income dramatically increase.

When it comes to building a profitable website you need to plan and prepare first. Far too many people will have an idea for a particular type of website and then straight away buy the domain name and then start to build it without actually thinking through what it is they need to do. Just like these people I would build hundreds of websites and then spend time constantly moving from one to the next without any real plans in place. However today I have learn that it is much better to concentrate on have no more than 20 sites and because of this I have seen my income dramatically increase.

But to ensure that you can create and build websites which are going to be profitable for you there are 6 steps you will need to make. Certainly by sticking to the formula in this article you should soon see a rapid increase in the income these sites can earn for you. However before you actually start building any sites it is important that you get a folder along with some paper into which you will have sections for every site that you want to build. Although you can actually set this up on your PC believe me it is much easier for you as the folder is at hand at all times right beside you as you work.

Step one is the Keyword Research stage. Here you need to think all about the niche and what logical sections you will have. A niche can just about any topic you can think of, you’ll also find than many niches will have profitable sub niches which you should also explore. For example Cars would be a good niche but SUV’s would be a sub niche and carburretors would be another tight sub niche. The main thing with keyword research is to find a good mixture of keywords some of which have very little competition and others that will challenge your promotional skills.

The second step and certainly one of the most important is planning. A lot of people will actually miss this step out completely but you must not. So take a piece of paper from your folder and start to write down what you want your site to contain. You need to work out just how your site will look and whether you want to have sub directories or just sections within it. Just by making a few notes and keeping these will help you at a later stage as you will be able to refer back to them and see which site models you have used before are the most effective and which ones are not.

In the next step you will want to actually start to build your site. Remember we have just finished the planning stage and it was during this time that you made a decision as to what tool you would be using to build your site with. As you know there are building of site building tools now available, some you can get for nothing and others that are going to cost you a few hundred dollars. However for those of you that are just starting out I would suggest that you use WordPress. This site building tool is not only free but can be easily installed from many of the other websites Cpanel.

One of the biggest mistakes made by many people is when it comes to promoting their site after they have built it. What they will often do is just promote their site enough so that it gets indexed into various different search engines before they become bored with it and move on to the next project. STOP! Any promotion you do for any of your sites should be an ongoing task. The best thing you can do is spend a hour each day for at least the next two weeks on promoting your site.

A site lives or dies on whether it receives traffic. Traffic can come from many sources. If you have done your website promotion properly then you’ll soon start receiving traffic from search engines. This organic search traffic is free and it should be what you are striving for.

For many webmasters monetization is their main objective in order that they can earn an income from their sites. But the trouble is that most of them will monetize their sites too early. Instead what I prefer to do after building mine is leave them alone for about 3 months before actually monetizing them. There is no real reason to immediately add Adsense to any sites you build as it may well affect your sites ranking and without traffic being directed towards it you are unlikely to make any money from it.

Once you can incorporate the 6 steps into your site building and learn what works well for you then you’ll have a much better chance of making each and every site you build profitable.
